Kuwabara: Kuwabara here. Star and Kurama have gone off somewhere. So now I get to write the fic.

Yusuke: how can you write a fic if you can even spell your own name?

Kuwabara: I can too spell my own name...let's see its K...U...W...

Yusuke: riiight. Kuwabara is still spelling him name.

Star: I'm back so on with the fic.

Hiei: Hn. Where is Kurama?

Star: why Hiei, what ever do you mean?

Hiei: you know what I mean don't play dumb.

Star: =w.w=

Broken promises

"Hiei?" Botan asked

"what?"

"You mind telling me why you want me to stay here?"

"I just what you to, okay." Hiei did not want to give her the real answer.

Botan shrugged and yawned. "Maybe we should rest until tomorrow."

"Hn." He took a seat next to her and they fell asleep.

It was still early when Hiei woke up. He left Botan to sleep so that he could leave her there. She would be safe from his father. She would not have to witness his death if it came to that. "If I let you come and you see me fall, I do not want to see your heart break again," he whispered out loud of in his mind he was not sure. Hiei walked through the door and to the castle to face his destiny.
"Well he made it through the maze. I guess I will have to kill him my self." Said the dark man.

"Hiei is no pushover." Kuwabara said surprised that he had something nice to say about Hiei. The others looked at him.

"What? I guess the little shrimp is not so bad." Kuwabara said,

"Yes well it's too bad you won't get to see how wrong you are." The dark man said. "You will be down here the whole time. But I promise that when he falls I will tell you every detail before I kill you." he laughed and left to his ring on the roof.
At about the same time Hiei entered the castle Botan was waking up. She was not too surprised that Hiei had left her. She wanted so much to follow him and see him though what ever it was he had to do. But she had made him a promise and it was very important to him so all she could do was sit on the outside of the maze and wait for him.

"Oh, Hiei I wish you could have just told me what is going on with you." Botan said to herself. Just the Botan remembered that she had her communication mirror. She opened it hoping to find Yusuke on the receiving end.

"Yusuke?" Botan asked

"Botan? Are you okay? Where is Hiei?" Yusuke asked,

"Oh thank god." Botan said upon hearing his voice. "He went on ahead. He made me promise to wait for him to come back."

"Botan, you have to break that promise and get us out of here." Yusuke said. "He has taken Yukina. It's a trap. You need to find Hiei and stop him."

"Oh, god!" Botan said and summoned her oar. "I'm coming. I'll call you back for your location." She hung up.
"What are you going to do to me?" Yukina yelled as the dark man pulled her hair so she would come out of her cell.

"I won't do anything to you if you do as you are told."

"What are you going to do to my brother?" she asked.

"Hina" The man called.

"Mother?" Yukina exclaimed.

"That's only half right for you see Hina was your mother but I captured a soul from the Reikai and gave it your mother's body." He said "and as for Hiei...you'll see."

"What? You sick bastard." Yukina said. And was slapped.

"Hiei should be here any moment." He said

Hiei made his way though the dark castle and it looked vaguely familiar to him. Hiei need to find his way to his "father" so he used his eye. "On the roof." He said and ran up millions of stairs.
Botan flew to the castle gates and called Yusuke once more. "Where are you guys?"

"We are in a dungeon. Where are you?" Yusuke asked,

"Right out front." She said. She looked at the castle. "How will I find you in time to save Hiei?"

"Like this." Yusuke said and shot his Spirit gun out the tiny window. "See it?"

"Yes, I'm coming." She said and hung up. 'Hiei I'm sorry I broke that one promise you made me keep but I did it for you.' she thought and flew off to save her friends.

Botan walked to the window. "Yusuke. Psst."

"Botan?" Kurama asked. "My sister."

"Kurama!" She exclaimed. "There is so much I want to tell you," she said,

"Uh, Botan now is not the time." Yusuke said.

"Right. I will go around the other side and let you out." She said and ran off

"That would be nice." Yusuke said sarcastically and turned to Kayko. "Kayko wake up."

"Huh? What is it Yusuke?"

"Botan is here and she is going to get us out." He told her.

"Oh good, where is..." Kayko started but stopped when she heard the turning of keys. "Botan?"

"Bingo!" Botan opened the door and the first thing she did was hug Kurama.

"That was fast." Kayko blinked in disbelief

"I have to save Yukina!" Kuwabara ran to the stairs.

"Wait! We have to save Hiei too." Botan said,

"So it's settled we are all going to save them." Yusuke said and they all ran up the stairs hoping they were not too late.

Rewinding a little before Botan ran into the castle

Hiei walked up the last flight of stairs and say his "father" waiting in the center of a huge ring. As he stepped a lightning bolt revealed a scared yet strong Yukina. She was crying.

"Hiei! Don't it's a trap." Yukina said

"Shut up," the dark man said and hit her across her face leaving a gash. Hiei was so angry by now.

"Let her go. And I promise you a quick death. "Hiei drew his Katana.

"Oh, it's a fight you want is it?" his father asked and drew his own katana. "But before you die I want you to see something. Funny thing promises are, even the smallest ones should be respected, wouldn't you agree?"

"What are you talking about? You are just postponing your own death." Hiei spat.

"Am I?" he asked and Hina pulled out a huge mirror and Hiei saw Botan. She was in the castle. "She turned against you. Did she not "Promise" you that she would not enter?" he said the word promise with distain.

Hiei stepped back, she did. Botan wasn't different, she had lied to him. He was sad and angry now. "Hn," He shrugged it off. "All you did was make me angrier. I'm going to kill you now." He said,

"Be prudent Hiei." He stopped once more as his father's words came to him. "If you join me, you will never have to feel love again. No one will ever hurt you. I will get rid of all your weaknesses." His father looked at Yukina. "Your sister has agreed to join me. So what do you say?"

"Yukina?" Hiei asked her.

"He's lying!" she yelled and Hiei's father kicked her hard sending her flying. Hiei ran fast and caught her,

"Are you okay?" he asked her.

"Yes. Just don't listen to what he says. Just follow your heart." She fell asleep in his arms.

Hiei put her down and walked back into the ring. "No more lies. You die now." And the fight began.
Kuwabara: how could that man hit Yukina? She is a girl and not to mention she's my girlfriend.

Hiei: she is not your girlfriend.

Kuwabara: yes she is.

Hiei and Kuwabara start to fight.

Star: well this chapter was a little longer but you know, that's a good thing for you huh? Kuwabara bumps star v.v if you have to fight then take it outside. Star joins the fight.

Yusuke: That's all peoples jumps into fight as well

Kurama comes back to see the fight and shakes his head

Star: join us Kurama.

Kurama: ah, I'll pass.
