Kurama: what do you say? Catches Star

Star: head looking toward the ground I'm sorry Kurama.

Kurama: And?

Star: and... smiles do I have to?

Kurama: -.-'

Star: Okay. Dances too weee! Hey this is a fun punishment? Dances everywhere

Hiei: Not what you planed on huh?

Kurama: be quiet sits down disappointedly

Yusuke: riiight. Oh will the fic.

Divide and not conquer part 1

the rest of the journey was silent, save for a few thoughts.

'Did I try to kiss her?' Hiei thought. 'Why? What's come over me?'

'Did Hiei try to kiss me? Why did he stop?' Botan thought and stepped back 'what? Does this mean I want him to kiss me?'

"Botan?" Hiei asked, "Why have you stopped?

"Stopped what? I didn't do it?" she said with a start. 'Oh god, I just remembered that he could have read my thoughts.' Botan thought.

"Are you okay?" he raised and eyebrow.

"Oh, yes just fine. Let's keep going." She started to walk once more.
Meanwhile in the prison at the end of the maze the others were sleeping, all thoughts of the prison had eluded them. Kurama woke to the sound of Yukina's tears.

"Yukina?" Kurama asked, "Your brother will be fine." He said,

"I know but I just wish I could be there for him. He's always been there for me. Even when I did not know he was there. I always felt safe, and now I know that it was Hiei this whole time. I just feel so useless."

"Don't say that. You are not useless. And he is just happy that you are alive. Stop crying and cheer up. We will all be back home and this whole thing will be over." Kurama said, not believing it himself, he only said it to cheer Yukina up.

"Aw, cute little lie, Kurama." The dark voice said, "Too bad that, that is exactly what it is... a lie." The man said and pulled out keys. By this time everyone else was awake. "Come now Yukina." He order and grabbed for her.

"Oh, no you don't." Kuwabara stepped in front of her.

"I though putting you all together was a mistake." The dark man said and punched Kuwabara into the wall. Then a wall of fire separated the rest of the group from the ice apparition and she was taken off somewhere.
Just then as they turned into an alleyway, they fell into a pool of sticky black goop. They were stuck together literally.

"Oh great." Hiei said 'stuck will the ferry onna in a pond of sticky crap.' He thought trying to get her off his mind by being rude. "Why didn't you tell me this was here?" he said

"What? This is not my fault." Botan said.

"You should just except the fact that the ferry woman and that son... Hiei are going to kill each other. Of they have fallen into the black lagoon." The dark man said as he returned Yukina-less.

"What is that? Kurama?" Yusuke looked at him

"Why does everyone think I know everything?" he asked,

"Well do you know what it is?" Kuwabara asked

Kurama let out a sigh. "Yes." He said, "it is a substance that gets in the skin and makes the victim angry and evil. This trap is indeed a good one." Kurama said,

"Wait so if Hiei and Botan get touched by that stuff they will be at each other's throats? Will they kill each other?" Kuwabara said.

"Yes they very well might." Kurama said. "Lets us hope that does not happen."

"This is your fault not mine." Botan said.

"I will kill you." Hiei said

"Oh yeah, go ahead." Botan said

just as everyone was about to lose hope a clouded dust of glitter formed in front of Botan and Hiei.
Kuwabara: what is it? I hate when you stop in the middle like that.

Botan: yeah, what happens to Hiei and me?

Hiei: who cares? I hate this story. Black goop?

Star: gee just wait and find out. Good....

Yusuke: can I say it?

Star: go ahead.

Yusuke: Good-bye everyone. Smiles proudly

Kurama: I bet you feel special.

Yusuke: .
