KaitaKembi: I'm sorry it took me such a long time to update. I was reading this totally cool fanfic from a person called LoveThatHimura. Its called Born Battousai and I loved it. Anyone who's a fan of Rurouni Kenshin should read it after you read my story. Anyway, I received a review that told me I was spelling Yuusuke and Kuenma wrong. I'm sry, but I've seen those names spelled that way more than I have Yusuke and Koenma. If I receive more reviews that tell me how to spell those names the other way I will, but I will never spell youko yoko. Ok? Thnx. Now plz read this chapter and review.

Chapter 7: Trapped
After much trying, Hiei had been unable to call up any of his ki. He had then proceeded to search himself and the whole room for wards. But he had failed to find any. Katie had then tried to open a portal out of the cell, but was unable to do that. They both sat down and rested their backs against a wall, unsure of what to do next.
Katie, overcome with a sudden burst of homesickness, sighed. Hiei longed to do something to comfort her, but he didn't know what. Katie spared him from thinking too long by resting her head on his shoulder. His warm skin was a relief to her cheek. It reminded her of how her mother had tried to comfort her before they moved. Katie began to cry.
Hiei looked down as he felt something wet hit his shoulder. Katie was crying. He did the only thing he could think of and put his arm around her. She smiled, sniffed and shifted so that her head was resting against his stomach instead of his shoulder.
"Someone's coming," Hiei said as his ears picked up the sound of shuffling feet.
Katie wrapped her arms around his waist, "What do you think they're going to do to us?"
Hiei searched his mind for an answer that would calm her fears, but her couldn't find any. His brain was more used to telling the truth. "They're going to kill us," he said finally.
Katie held onto him tighter in fear, "I hope you're wrong," she whispered, even though she knew he wasn't.
Just as before, Koi came flanked by ten guards. He opened the door. Hiei stood and moved in front of Katie, anticipating a fight. Katie stayed on the ground and looked up at her youkai defender.
"Good. You're awake," Koi smiled, "It's better that you are."
He signaled to the guards. They charged in. Two of them went for Katie and the rest went for Hiei.
Even without his firepowers, Hiei was a force to be reckoned with. He managed to take down four of the demons before one of them punched him in the stomach. He bent over double, and was grabbed by two of the other demons.
"Hiei!" Katie yelled and struggled against her captors. But they were already pulling her down the hall.
As soon as Katie saw Hiei get taken, she knew it was over. She stopped struggling and walked behind Koi. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she realized she would never be free.

(I know Botan was with the group earlier, but I forgot about her when I wrote this part in my notebook. To make up for this I'm just going to say she flew off once they found the castle because she didn't think they needed her help anymore.)
Kaita put her hands on her hips and smiled. "I thought the building had been cloaked," she said proudly as she looked up at the gigantic castle before her.
"You mean it's been here the whole time?" yelled Kuwabara.
"Yah," Kaita smiled apologetically.
"Well then, lets go!" Yuusuke said, itching for a fight.
"Hold on Yuusuke," Kurama said, "This fortress is probably very heavily guarded. We should watch our step."
Kaita stepped forward and tried to push open the main door. When it didn't budge, she sprouted wings and put one of her feathers into the lock. It clicked open. She pushed on the door again and this time it opened. She waited for the others and then walked inside.
As soon as they stepped into the castle, they could tell it wasn't normal. The main hall was covered in ice and plants. There were thousands on doors that led off the hall, but all of them seemed to be guarded by live suits of armor. The only one that wasn't was a door at the end of the hall. And that door was surrounded by fire.
"Where should we go, Kuwabara?" Yuusuke asked?
"How the hell should I know?" retorted the carrot-top.
Kaita rolled her eyes, "Use your spirit sensors, baka!"
Kuwabara did, and then pointed to the door at the end of the hall, "I think there's something really strong in that room.
"How did I know you would say that?" Yuusuke muttered and led the group to the door.
Kurama opened it, and they found themselves in a large throne room. The floor was made out of marble, as were the walls. There were silver steps that led up to a golden throne. The room itself was empty.
Kaita shivered as they walked in, "This is eerie."
"Guys, I'm getting the tickle feeling," said Kuwabara.
Suddenly, the double doors slammed shut behind them. They spun, and found themselves face to face with a man in his late thirties. He was wearing a sports jacket and leather pants.
"Who are you?" Yuusuke demanded.
"Brother and I have been expecting you," the man said, "This way."
He opened up the double doors.
"Hey, we just came through - " Kaita started, but she never finished her sentence.
The man had opened the doors into a small, dark room. He motioned for the group to go inside. Once they all were, he closed the doors and locked them in.

Hiei tried to get free from the demon guards holding him, but he couldn't without his ki. He and Katie were taken into the same throne room that Katie had been taken to the first day. All Hiei could do was watch as Katie was hooked up to a large machine. It was made up of a large circular piece of metal that had four cuff-like things coming out of it. Katie's hands were placed in the higher cuffs and her feet were put into the lower ones so that she was spread-eagle. She looked and acted ready to give up. Hiei hung his head in despair as the demons finished hooking Katie up. She was the only person he had ever loved and who had loved him back, but he had been able to save her.
Bito stepped forward now that the process was complete. "Today, Katie, you die for a good cause. After this there will be no more separation between your world and this one."
He pressed a button on the side of the machine. The floor began to shake and a circular section of it began to rise, taking Bito, Hiei, the guards, and Katie in the machine with it.
"Why are you doing this?" Katie suddenly screamed at Bito, "Why do you want this to happen? Why my power? Why me?"
Bito walked up to her and held her face in his hand, "Don't blame me for this. I only found you because you used your powers."
Katie sobbed and hung her head as she remembered when she had sent those boys into another world. Bito stroked her hair, "There, there. Don't cry. It will all be over in a few minutes."
Hiei growled, "Get your hands off her."
"There's no point in getting protective now, Hiei," Bito shot, "You couldn't protect her in the first place."
Bito stepped away from Katie as they neared the roof. There were dark clouds on the horizon and lighting flashed.
"Hurry," Bito commanded the demons around him as they scrambled to make the final preparations, "I don't want to get this new coat wet."
Hiei looked around. He could sense his four teammates nearby, but he couldn't see them anywhere. And he doubted whether they would make to him and Katie in time.
"It's all ready, sir," a demon said to Bito. Bito walked over to the machine. He looked apologetically at Katie, who choked back a sob, and then flicked a switch.
There was a low humming for a second. Then Katie's screaming blocked it out. The machine coursed a type of current through her body that caused her to use her powers. In front of Katie a small hole in the sky began to open.
Hiei tried to get to Katie to free her, but the demons holding him were too strong. "Katie!" he shouted as he watched her suffer, "Katie! No!" then he was struck in the head and knocked out.

Katie: Yes, review plz. I don't want to be stuck screaming forever.
Hiei: Review or I'll never wake up.
KK: Thnx you two.
