Chapter Ten
Adreana stood next to the bed where she had just moments before been sleeping in. Hiei lay asleep and gave no indication that he was waking anytime soon. "What am I supposed to say to you...? I cannot spend my future with you, simply because of my past?" She looked upon his slumbering form sadly. "He'd never understand..." Picking up her jacket from the chair in the corner she silently left.
***
Adreana was being held by two large demons, she was fighting against them but to no avail. Hiei gritted his teeth and tightened his grip on his sword. "Release her!" He bellowed but the demons just grinned and pulled her back farther away from him.
"Hiei!"
"Adreana!"
Hiei sat straight up in his bed, beads of cold sweat rolling off his face. His nightmare had been vivid, amazingly real, but Adreana was right here... Frantically Hiei sprang out of bed and searched the whole house from top to bottom. "Adreana! Adreana! Dammit!" Grabbing his cloak he tore out of the house.
***
It was only four in the morning when Keiko's bedroom window slid open and a silent intruder landed on the floor. Keiko lay asleep in her bed, and Yukina, who had slept over, lay on the floor in a sleeping bag. Growling the intruder sheathed his sword. "Yukina! Keiko! Wake up!" He ordered and instantly the two girls roused.
"Brother...? What's going on...?" Yukina murmured rubbing her eyes sitting up.
"Where is she? Where is Adreana?" He demanded, if they didn't know... then the chance that no one but her did was great.
"Adreana? She contacted us a while ago on our communicators to tell us she'd retuned safe... why?" Now Keiko was up, and wide awake.
Hiei ran a hand through his hair, frustrated. "She's gone! Again, dammit!" He slammed his fist against the wall.
"Jeez, you just get her back and then she's gone again, you have real power over your woman." Kuwabara joked next to Yusuke who stood in the doorframe.
"Shut your mouth fool." Hiei snapped, he was already in a foul mood; the imbecile was just making it worse.
"Yeah, shut it Kuwabara. Did she leave on her own?" Yusuke slid his hands in his pockets and leaned against the doorframe, he'd woken up just moments before and felt for Keiko's safety so he rushed over. Kuwabara had felt the same disturbance and had come to Yukina's aid.
"Must have, or I would have awoken. Something tells me this has to do with why she left before." Hiei grumbled. "That girl gets into more trouble..."
"I wonder if it has anything to do with that mark I saw on her back..." Yukina murmured, mostly to herself.
"What? What mark on her back?" Hiei demanded.
"I just noticed that on her back... there were three letters. S and F together, then P over top of both of them." She said shrugging with innocent eyes. "Brother... brother? What did I say...?"
Hiei's whole body had started to shake violently, scaring everyone in the room. "Are... are you sure?" His voice was so low it was a surprise she could hear it.
"Yes. Why brother? Brother!" Yukina shouted as he dashed out the window, leaving the four alone. "Oh dear... this can't be good..."

Adreana sat in a chamber alone with the man whose voice had been in her head. The same man who she left the park with and who had ordered her thrown in that dank prison.
"You tried to control my thoughts, use my anger against me Mizrahi." Her voice trembled with anger.
"And yet you return. I knew it, once a fighter, always a fighter." Mizrahi smirked and drank from his glass of tea.
"I knew the past would catch up with me eventually." She spat.
"True, I have an op for you." He slid a small white envelope across the table that separated them. Adreana regarded him out of the corner of her eyes but took the envelope anyway. Opening the flap she pulled the piece of folded paper out and unfolded it. The only thing on the piece of paper was an address that she recognized.
"What kind of op is this?" She demanded. (A/N: If I didn't clarify this earlier, 'op' means operation, like in the military they have special ops, it's just like a special assignment in which only certain people are qualified to do.)
"Obviously you remember the old military facility's address."
"Obviously." She snorted.
"There is something in that rubble, something I want you to recover." Mizrahi sipped his hot tea.
"To recover? If I recall correctly Mizrahi, half the damn facility is in ruins. You want me to just dig through the ruble until I find whatever you're looking for?" Adreana didn't understand, "I'm the best street fighter you've got and your sending me on a mission of such little importance? Any simple minded demon could accomplish this!" She snapped crossing her arms.
"Don't be foolish princess. If it were so easy I would send a lowly demon but it's not. For one the facility is under heavy guard by the military, and what I want isn't buried under rubble but under heavy guard." He said without an ounce of anger or frustration in his voice.
"And what is it that I'm stealing exactly?"
"Papers, they are of high value to me."
"And to the military obviously."
"They belonged to me first princess." He now began to voice his impatience. "Go!"
Adreana stood and left his office, then went into the room down the hall where all the things she needed were laid out for her. A set of completely black skintight clothes, black boots, black leather gloves, a lock pick set, and a small flashlight.
"Hmm... still fits, just like old times." She sighed and rubbed her back where the mark still hurt. "And my scar hurts... just like old times."
***
Silently Adreana crept through the facility's hallways. Her scar burned but she paid it no heed and continued until she reached a corner. She pulled up a mental map of the facility and figured that right around the corner was a vault like room, where they must be keeping Mizrahi's papers.
Sneaking a quick glance she saw that there were two armed guards, but their hands were nowhere near their guns. She smirked as she turned the corner and swung her right fist at the nearest guard. Her fist connected with his lower jaw and set him flying against the wall then slumped down on the floor, unconscious.
The other guard at least got his hands on his gun before she swiped his feet out from under him, sending the gun flying from his hands. His head hit the tile making a sickening crack and he didn't get up. Bending down she checked his pulse... he'd have a helluva headache when he woke up, but otherwise he'd be fine.
"What a relief." She breathed before snatching the two key cards off the guards and opening the door.
Inside the room was only a small black safe sitting on the floor in the middle of the room. She crept towards it, making her movements silent and quick, even though the door was closed and she was almost sure nothing she did would be heard. Pulling her lock pick kit out she went to work on the extremely hard and sophisticated lock.
***
Hiei punched the last demon, sending him to the ground with no hopes of reviving. He'd already searched the dungeons and the rooms. "Where could she be? Dammit!" Turning around he stopped in front of a set of doors and arched his eyebrow.
Kicking the door down he raised his eyebrow even higher; the only person in the room was the same guy that had led her away from the park! And he was just sitting there, calmly drinking tea. "Where is she?"
"I'm assuming you mean Adreana. What business is it of yours?" The man didn't even flinch, just kept right on drinking his tea.
"She is my business." Hiei growled unsheathing his sword. "Now tell me where she is," He demanded.
"I don't see why your concerned... she did this of her own free will, believe it or not Adreana can more than take care of herself. She doesn't need you," Now Mizrahi set down his cup of tea. "and never will."
"She may not need me but she'll receive me, now where is she?" Hiei was really losing her patience.
"If you would be so kind as to wait a while, I'm sure she'll be returning soon, she may be the best female street fighter I have but ops take time." He looked right into Hiei's eyes. "You should know that."
