Dead or Alive ~Toshi Kami~ (~Holy Battle~): (Yusuke's song)

        "Where are we...?" Arielle asked as she looked around the small dungeon cell. The walls were made of stone. There was a bench on one wall. She was sitting on it. OkageHime was sitting next to her. Autumn was inspecting the wall to their right. On their left was the wall with the door. The door was a large metal door with a little barred window in it. In the corner of the room farthest from them was a skeleton chained to the wall.

        "Well, as far as I can tell we're still in Makai but..." Autumn let her words trail off as she tapped on one of the wall's stones.

        "What are you doing?" OkageHime pointed at her.

        "Looking for a loose stone. We might be able to escape..." Autumn said as she continued to search the wall.

        "Why not ask you're other half for help?" Arielle asked.

        "I did. This is what she said to do..." Autumn tapped on another stone.

        "Baka kitsune..."Arielle crossed her arms. Autumn shot her a death glare.

~*~Meanwhile:

        "Let's find that wolf demon and force her to tell us what she did to them!" Zero suggested.

        "Yes. I like that idea." Hiei smirked evilly.

        Kurama pointed at Hiei's forehead, "Why don't you just try to find them with your Jagan eye?"

        "...err..." Hiei blinked. He then removed his bandana. The Jagan began to glow and after a few moments Hiei replaced the bandana. "They're locked in the dungeon of a castle somewhere in Makai. I can't determine their exact location..."

        "Are they alright?" Kurama asked concerned.

        "As far as I can tell, yes." Hiei nodded.

        Kurama sighed, "Well, I guess we still have to find Megumi and get her to tell us where they are..."

       "Let's go." Zero said as he held the door open for the others. They started walking. At the end of the hallway they were stopped by a group of demon thugs.

        Hiei took out his katana, "We don't have time to deal with you fools. Move or perish."

        "That's what I was going to say..." Kurama frowned as he took out his rose whip.

        The thugs laughed and charged at Hiei and Kurama. [Insert fight scene here] In a matter of seconds the demons were no more. The group then continued walking. They met up with a few more thugs that Hiei and Kurama quickly took care of. After searching the entire mansion they came to the exit. Standing right in front of the doors was Megumi.

        "Megumi! Where are they???" Kurama yelled angrily.

        Megumi laughed, "They are not here."

        "That's obvious!" Zero crossed his arms and his tail twitched in agitation.

        Megumi laughed again, "I don't know where they are. All I can tell you is that an old acquaintance of Phantom's wanted to settle a score with her..."

        "What??? Who???" Kurama asked but Megumi had already gone. "KUSO!" he yelled as he punched the wall next to him. He sank to the floor leaning against the wall and buried his face in his hands.

        "Err...Kurama? I don't think this is a good time to be having a nervous breakdown..." Yusuke pointed out.

~*~Meanwhile (again):

        "Find anything?" Arielle asked as she watched Autumn lean against the wall with her arms crossed.

        "What do you think?" Autumn snapped.

        "Somebody needs to chill..." OkageHime pointed at Autumn.

        Autumn shot her a glare. The three sat in silence looking around their cell. The skeleton in the corner was sitting there staring at them with its empty eye sockets. Autumn shivered and tried not to look at it. Finally Arielle broke the silence.

        "Is anyone else freezing?" she shivered.

        "Me!" OkageHime raised her hand.

        "Me too..." Autumn nodded.

        Arielle twitched, "This really sucks! We're going to freeze to death!!! I'm stuck in here with you two and that pile of bones!!! AND FOR ALL I KNOW YUSUKE COULD BE FLIRTING WITH HIEI AGAIN!!!"

        "Well, look at the bright side..." Autumn started but was cut off by Arielle.

        "What bright side??? I don't see a bright side! Do you see a bright side, because I don't. Do you see a bright side?" that last question was directed towards OkageHime.

        OkageHime shook her head, "Nope."

        "See? You're the only one who sees a bright side, Autumn, so be quiet!!!" Arielle finished yelling and was now glaring at Autumn. One of her eyes was twitching uncontrollably.

        Autumn blinked, "We really need to get out of here..."

        "I DON'T REMEMBER GIVING YOU PERMISSION TO TALK!!! BE QUIET, BAKA KITSUNE!!!" Arielle pointed accusingly at Autumn.

        'your friends are crazy...' I know...so...why exactly do you love Youko? 'What kind of question is that??? You should know! We're the same person!!!' oh yeah...heh...I knew that. ^_^;;;;; ' -_- somebody save me...from myself...'

~*~Meanwhile:

        Kurama was still having his nervous breakdown. The others were trying to think of ways to save Autumn, Arielle, and OkageHime.

        "I know! We can tie balloons to our back and float up to the top of the castle and save them like those princes in fairy tales!!!" Kuwabara suggested.

        "BAKA! That was a really stupid idea! Besides, they're trapped in the DUNGEON. That means they're UNDERGROUND!" Zero spoke slowly to try and make Kuwabara understand.

        All of them got into an argument. Kurama finally snapped out of it and stood back up. His eyes were burning with anger. "EVERYBODY SHUT UP!!!"

        Everyone: O_O

        "We are going to leave the mansion and find Jouka. If I remember correctly, Autumn told me that the bird always knows where Harmony is." Kurama then walked past them and opened the doors. The others followed him outside. As they started walking off laughter rang out through the air.

        "You'll never find them!" A voice echoed throughout the clearing.

        Zero's eyes went wide in shock and fear, "I know that voice..."

        "Yes, you do. My son..." The voice said as a dragon demon with large silver wings and half of a silver dragon's tail landed in front of Kurama.

        "But...but...you're supposed to be dead!!!" Zero was shaking as he looked at his father.

        The dragon smirked (I think its time for me to give this guy a name...) "I was. The amulet had taken my soul. Once it was destroyed I was freed and now here I am."

        "What have you done with Autumn???" Kurama yelled.

        "Autumn?" The dragon frowned. "Oh, you mean Phantom? She's fine, for now."

        "Where is she???" Kurama growled.

        The dragon laughed, "In the dungeon of the castle that I recently acquired."

        "Who the hell are you???" Hiei asked angrily.

        "My name is Yamihonoo (Shadow Flame) and I was the one that killed the Mist Mountain Kitsune. Or at least most of them. Phantom Harmony...the damn bitch that would not die! No matter how many times I went after her she never died!!!" The demon yelled.

        'That's Harmony for ya. Such a stubborn girl...' she's not the only stubborn one... 'What was that?' Nothing! Nothing at all! Kurama turned his full attention back to Yamihonoo.

        Yamihonoo caught Kurama glaring at him, "You want to see her so that you can tell that she's alright?" He waved his hand in the air and a screen like thing appeared. It showed Arielle and OkageHime sitting on the bench in the cell watching Autumn pace back and forth.

        "STOP PACING!!! YOU'RE MAKING ME DIZZY!!!" Arielle yelled.

        Autumn stopped in the middle of the room and stood there thinking. She then walked over to the door and peered out the window. "HEY!!!! IS ANYBODY OUT THERE??? HELOOOOOOOOOOOOOO? PRISONER WANTS SOME ATTENTION HERE!!! HEY! YOU! I SEE YOU OUT THERE YOU DISGUSTING SACK OF LARD! GET OVER HERE!!!"

        There was an angry roar as a large demon walked over and peered in the window at her. He had purple warty skin and one red eye. He had tusks sticking up out of his mouth. "You talkin' to me, human?"

        "No! I'm talking to the other Cyclops behind you!" Autumn rolled her eyes when the Cyclops turned to look. "OF COURSE I'M TALKING TO YOU, BAKA!!!"

        "Autumn...Now might not be a good time to insult the demon holding us captive...We can't exactly run away..." Arielle pointed out.

        "Yeah umm...I'd really like to live a few more years if that's at all possible..." OkageHime laughed nervously.

        "Hey! Ugly! I didn't know Kuwabaka had an identical twin! Bloody hell! Somebody put a bag over his head! My eyes!!! MY EYES!!!! THEY BURN!!!!! THE PAIN!!!!!!!" Autumn covered her eyes and made gagging noises.

        The demon had flames in his eyes. "YOU STUPID WENCH!!! YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT!!!!"

        "What are you going to do? Breathe on me until I die from your bad breath?"

        "Uh....Autumn?" Arielle was glancing nervously between Autumn and the demon.

        The demon growled angrily. "HOW DARE YOU?!? I'LL KILL YOU!!!!!"

        "So? What are you waiting for? Come kill me! Or are you afraid of being beaten by a lowly little human girl? CHICKEN!!! PUCK PUCK PUCKAW!!!" Autumn made chicken noises and motions.

        Arielle and OkageHime clung to each other in fear as the massive demon opened the cell door and stood glaring angrily at Autumn. Autumn smiled innocently and seemed to just have realized what she was doing, "Oh...heh...hello Mr. Demon guy..."

        "Kurama your girlfriend's going to get all three of them killed!!!" Hiei growled angrily at Kurama.

        Kurama frowned, what is she up to...?

        "What were you saying, ningen?" The demon growled.

        "Err..." Autumn blinked and started backing away from the demon slowly. Bloody hell! Are you insane??? Why did you insult him like that??? 'Calm down, I have a plan.' I hope it involves getting all three of us out of here in one piece!!! 'It might...'

        The demon raised his fist to strike. His punch hit the wall as Autumn ran to the side. Arielle and OkageHime were still on the bench. Autumn moved to stand near them. The demon punched again. All three girls ran to the other side of the cell. The demon had closed the cell door so there was no escape as he walked over to them. Arielle and OkageHime pushed Autumn in front of them.

        "Hey! What are you hiding behind me for???" Autumn looked over her shoulder at them.

        "Because you're the fox demon! Do something!!! Slice him in half!!!" Arielle pointed at the demon.

        "With what??? I'm not Kurama! I don't carry flowers around in my hair!!!" Autumn pointed at her head.

        "Uh...the demon's getting closer..." OkageHime pointed.

        "If I die I'm going to come back and haunt you!!!" Arielle pointed at Autumn accusingly.

        "Same goes for me!!!" OkageHime also pointed at Autumn.

        "Alright, Harmony...now might be a good time to put your plan into action..." Autumn whispered quietly to herself.

        The demon laughed as he approached them. "This is very amusing. I think once I catch you I'll have a little fun with you before I eat you..."

        "YOU SICK PERVERTED BASTARD!!!!!!!!!! HIEI WILL KILL YOU IF YOU DO ANYTHING TO ME!!!!!!" Arielle pointed angrily at the demon.

        Hiei nodded, "She's right, I will."

        Yamihonoo laughed, "This is very entertaining, eh fox?"

        "No. It's not." Kurama glared at him again. Zero was still shaking.

        The girls split and ran in different directions. OkageHime ran towards the door. Autumn and Arielle ran towards the skeleton. The demon cornered OkageHime and grabbed her. He tied her up and hung her from a hook on the wall. "One down, two to go..." the demon smirked.

        "HEY! YOU STUPID BASTARD!!! LET ME DOWN!!!!" OkageHime yelled.

        Arielle's eye twitched. "Great! Just great! Right when Hiei's starting to like me I have to be locked in a dungeon with a BAKA KITSUNE that just had to go and taunt the guard!!!! DAMN IT!!!! YUSUKE YOU HAD BETTER NOT BE FLIRTING WITH HIEI AGAIN!!!!!!!!"

        Yusuke blinked, "What the hell???"

        "I DON'T WANT TO DIE YET!!!!!" Arielle yelled.

        "Well, look at the bright side..."

        "THERE IS NO BRIGHT SIDE!!!!! WE'RE GOING TO DIE!!!!!!! STOP BEING SO DAMN OPTIMISTIC!!!!!!" Arielle was shaking Autumn's shoulders. "FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE ACT LIKE A NORMAL PERSON AND PANIC!!!!!!!!!"

        Autumn: @_@ twinkle twinkle little star...

        Arielle's eye started twitching uncontrollably again. She shook Autumn again. "BAKA KITSUNE!!!! WAKE UP!!!"

        "Yes, I just love it when my victims panic..." The demon smirked as he got even closer to them.

        Arielle shot the demon a death glare. "DO YOU MIND??? I'M BUSY YELLING AT THE BAKA KITSUNE!!!!"

        The demon blinked at her. So did everyone else that was watching. The demon reached out to grab her. She dropped Autumn and jumped to the side. She took a karate pose.

        "I know karate!!!!"

        The demon laughed again and grabbed her. "I like 'em feisty..."

        "Put her down." A cold angry voice said from behind him.

        The demon whirled around to look. "What the??? I don't remember a kitsune being in here before...When did you get here?"

        "I've been here the whole time. You just weren't aware of it. In fact, I was the one that insulted you before." Phantom Harmony stepped out of the shadows with a smirk on her face.

        "Hey! Great timing!" Arielle yelled.

        The demon smiled and dropped Arielle. "I like foxes..." he licked his lips.

        "Hey! So what suddenly I'm not good enough for you to eat?" Arielle crossed her arms.

        "Umm...can somebody get me down from here?" OkageHime asked.

        Arielle: ^_^;;; oops, I forgot about you...

        The demon moved towards Phantom eagerly. "I'm going to enjoy this..." he smirked.

        'That bastard had better not touch Harmony!!!' Youko calm down...I'm sure she has a plan... 'He still had better not touch her! Nobody's allowed to touch her but me!' alright...that just sounded somewhat perverted... 'So?' Kurama sighed.

        The demon had finally come right up to Phantom and had bent down to look her in the eye. "Anything to say for yourself, vixen? Y'know, any last words?"

        "Yes, actually..." Phantom smiled before jabbing one of the bones of the skeleton into the Cyclops's eye. "Never trust a smiling fox."

        The Cyclops screeched in pain and fell to the ground. He twitched slightly. Phantom watched with an emotionless face as the demon fell. Arielle and OkageHime ran over to her.

        "Did you kill him?" OkageHime poked the demon with her foot.

        "No." Phantom replied simply.

        Arielle frowned and pointed accusingly at Phantom. "Hey! You put all three of our lives in danger on purpose, didn't you?"

        "Yes. In order for me to be able to take over in this situation I knew that Autumn would have to be under a lot of emotional stress. That's why I insulted the demon and made him come in here and then to go after you two." Phantom knelt down and started searching the demon's pockets.

        "What would you have done if the demon had killed us?" Arielle asked.

        Phantom shrugged. "If the demon had killed you it would've been easier for me to take over. Then I would've left."

        "WHAT??? DON'T YOU CARE AT ALL ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO US???" Arielle yelled.

        "No."

        Arielle made a move like she was going to strangle Phantom. Phantom spoke without looking up, "I wouldn't do that if I were you."

        "What are you looking for?" OkageHime asked.

        "Keys. He isn't carrying any so there must be another demon out there." Phantom took the demon's dagger and went over to the door. She stuck it between the door and the wall and moved it around a bit until there was a click. She then pulled the door open. "Come on. Let's go."

        "You can pick locks?" Arielle asked.

        "This isn't the first time I've been locked in a dungeon." With that she tossed the dagger to Arielle and walked out of the room.

        OkageHime and Arielle looked at each other. "Hey wait!" they both called as they ran after her.

        Yamihonoo eye twitched as he looked at the screen. Kurama smirked, "Well, it looks like she's once again refused to die..."

        "Damn fox...I'll kill her..." Yamihonoo twitched as he made the screen disappear. He turned and smiled at Zero. "But first I have some catching up to do with my son...."

        "N...No! St...Stay away from me!!!" Zero took a step back.

        Kurama stepped in between them. "Tell us where the castle is."

        Yamihonoo studied Kurama curiously. "Wait a minute...You! You're the same fox that kept me from killing my kids before!"

        "Yes and if you don't want to get hurt I would suggest telling me what I wish to know." Kurama frowned.

        Yamihonoo laughed, "I won't tell you, but if you'll excuse me...I have a problem to take care of back at my castle..."

        "WAIT!" Kurama growled as he watched Yamihonoo disappear.

~*~Meanwhile:

        "Do you even know where we're going???" Arielle yelled as she and OkageHime followed Phantom through the endless maze of hallways. One of the fox's ears turned slightly towards Arielle and then turned back. "Hey! Are you even listening???"

        "Maybe you should just leave the fox alone?" OkageHime suggested.

        Suddenly Phantom stopped and pulled them both into the shadows as three guards walked by. The three guards were human looking female demons and were wearing uniforms that basically hid what they looked like. One had a beige cat tail with a black tip swishing behind her. Phantom smiled suddenly and snuck up behind the guards. She quickly knocked them out and dragged them into a nearby closet.

        "What was that for?" Arielle asked as they walked over to her.

        Phantom smirked again and indicated the guards. "We need disguises."

        Autumn and OkageHime: o.O

        A few minutes later the three were wearing the long black uniform coats and the dark blue jacket shirt things. They were also wearing the navy blue pants things. (Just to clear things up the guards were wearing two layers of clothing because the castle is pretty darned cold. Phantom, Arielle, and OkageHime put the uniform over the clothes they were already wearing.)

        Arielle and OkageHime were putting on the helmets. "These things smell terrible!!!" OkageHime pointed out.

        "Deal with it." Phantom said as she took a beige wrap bandage she had found in the closet and started wrapping her tail with it.

        "What are you doing?" Arielle pointed.

        "Trying to make my tail look less like a fox tail." Phantom finished and stood up. Her tail did look pretty much like a cat tail. She smiled and put on her helmet. "Let's get going."

        "This is so not fun." OkageHime pointed out as they started walking again.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Dream: This just felt like the right place to end it.

Zero: Honestly, now I'm curious about what's going to happen...

Dream: ^_^ Phantom's pretending to be a cat demon.

Zero: Baka kitsune...

Dream: Oh, btw people does anyone know what the girl's uniform in Kurama's school looks like? I need to know for my next story...

Zero: Review! Review now!
