Under Light of Four Stars

Ixi: Because disclaimers are becoming boring, and Lark wants something to do * Shuffles papers* Here ya go girl.

Lark: *Snatches papers from Ixi * Alrighty then *Looks at papers * IXI!! YOU CALL THESE DISCLAIMERS!?

Ixi: Hai, yes I do.

Lark: But it's just you ranting on about unrelated stuff.

Ixi: Point?

Lark: *sighs * Okay, I'll just wing it. Ixi does NOT own Yu Yu Hakusho. Mika is Pikabloo12's and Skye, hey does Skye even come up in this chapter?

Ixi: Maybe

Lark: Whatever, Skye is Black Pawn's

Chapter 11. Why Hiei hates Kuwabara so much

Hiei stepped back, searching the room for the voices' owner. "A- aris?" He stuttered, still looking around. "Oh what a sharp little Dragon you are." The voice continued to taunt. "I'm not interested in anything you have to offer, so bug off!" Hiei said walking towards an exit that was now visible. "Hmp, you are a toughie aren't you? Well, I give you two days to find and rescue your dear imohto, but after the sun sets three days from now you will serve me or she will die the most painful death." The eerie feeling that had swept over the room now vanished. "I'm giving you the rest of today to plan, but when the sun rises tomorrow, your two days begin. I always did like a good show of talent." The voice slowly faded.

The breath Hiei had been involuntarily holding now released its self. "So Dragon, what ever shall you do?" The fox had returned. "Three are now in the line of danger, who will you save first?" Hiei spun around, "Three?" "Hai, three. Kitsume and Kurama are in dangers path as we speak." "Nani!?" "I would hurry if I were you." The fox stepped sideways revealing a blue glowing dot, one similar to the one that had brought him here. Hiei ran towards it, this time not fighting the pull of the vortex it created. "Hurry Hiei, more than you can imagine hangs on your path of choice." The fox inaudibly whispered as he vanished.

Hiei was flung out of the vortex at high speeds, crashing into a surprised Kuwabara. "Hey! What it!" He yelled as Hiei jumped off him. Hiei looked around "Baka, were did Kit, and Kurama go?" Before Hiei realized what he had called Kitsume. "Oooo, Kit huh? What is she your girlfriend? Are you even capable of love?" Hiei shot a death glare to Kuwabara "Where did they go?" He asked again trying not to explode and kill Kuwabara that very second. "Uh? I dunno. I didn't even know they left." Hiei's eyes widened. 'Great timing foxes. So that Esme person was right. They are in danger.' Kuwabara waved a hand in his face, "Konichiwa? You in there?" (Ixi: Elmer? Elmer: Konichiwa = Hello)

Hiei shook his head trying to clear his thoughts. He suddenly felt light- headed, and his hand went up to his forehead as if he had a headache. All the memories he was shown raced through his mind, all at the same time. Then there was that thing that fox said. 'Hiei, you must understand something. You are the one every event here revolves on. Which path you take can secure a bleak or wonderful future.' Hai, she said that, but there was something else she had said. It was important but what it was seemed to vanish quicker, the more it was thought about. 'Kami, I hate foxes sometimes.'

Hiei stood up and went to take off, but Kuwabara grabbed his arm. He had a freaked look on his face. "Hiei, uh? I don't know how to tell you this, but I . . . I noticed that you have been . . . well." Kuwabara gave Hiei a concerned look. 'Kami, does everybody know about earlier?' Kuwabara extended a hand and a black gem sparkled in it. "Kitsume missed one. Here, I won't ask what is going on but . . ." He trailed off. Hiei was about to say something when a snapping sound appeared out of nowhere. Blue electricity snaked down the wall, and a flustered looking girl ran chasing after it. "Hey listen I said I was sorry!" She cried to it. "Come-on Aquaris please don't do this!"

Hiei heard a familiar name and stepped to the side to get in the way of the blue electricity. It clicked in protest, and slowly began taking the form of the serpentine creature that had saved his life. Hiei was rather surprised to see it. "Aquaris?" He asked in a very confused voice. The girl had reached them by now. She had a blue tank top with electricity markings near the top, a blue collar with a thunder pendant/dog tag. Her white jeans had blue on the flares, and were hip-huggers so part of her belly showed. She had a blue glove on her right arm, and white hair that turned to blue at the ends of it. She had high-heeled sandals that had a silver ring where the fabric of the sandal came over the foot. The white material had thin bands around her big toe and ankle to keep the sandal in place. "Hoshi beat it!" Aquaris cried speaking perfect english. (Ixi: Did you know it could speak? Elmer: Hai, I did. My idea) "You can speak?" Came the bewildered voice of Hiei. "Of course I can Hiei, I just never have found reason to speak around you." "Ch!" Hiei said turning around to walk away.

"Aquaris, I said I was sorry, it was only an accident!" Came the whiney voice of Hoshi. "So it still hurt like hell! You ever been electrocuted!?" "Yes I have, it comes with the fact that I have electricity running through my blood!" *Sweat drop* from Aquaris. "Why the hell do you think I asked you to help me? It's not easy to control it!" Hoshi got a slight hurt look before pushing past Kuwabara and Hiei. "HOSHI! WAIT, COME BACK GOMEN NASAI!" Aquaris chased after the crying girl. "Hey Hiei, do you think we should go after her?" Kuwabara whispered as they left. "You can if you want I have to find the two foxes." "Why?" "Hn, you're a baka, you know that?" Hiei took off for the exit with Kuwabara in close pursuit, but not because he wanted to bash Hiei's face in, he wanted to know if the foxes were okay.

They soon found themselves outside. The trees swayed in an unfelt wind. "Okay baka, this is your specialty, where are they?" Kuwabara got one of those annoyance symbols on his forehead, but his loyalty for his friends made him look for the two. He scanned several miles before shaking his head. "Sorry shorty, I can't sense them anywhere around here. We should keep looking though; this place is messing with my senses. "Oi! WAIT UP!" Came Yusuke's voice from behind them. They both turned around to face him. Keiko soon appeared after him. "Where ya going?" Hiei and Kuwabara glanced at each other. "We're looking for Kurama and Kitsume." Came Kuwabara's reply. "Correction, I'M going to go look for them, it's none of YOUR business." Hiei quipped in with an annoyed voice. "Hey, whatcha talking about!? You asked me to help you!" Kuwabara yelled.

"Correction again, I never asked you to come along, I asked if you could sense them, that is all." Hiei said while walking towards the forest. He was almost to the forest when he suddenly fell to his knees, pain rushing through his body. Yusuke, Kuwabara and Keiko ran towards him. "Hiei, what's wrong? What happened?" Yusuke asked helping his friend to his feet. Hiei was about to answer when the pain rushed through his body again. Hiei pulled back, screaming in agony, his hands to his forehead where his Jagan eye was. "St-stay away from me!" Hiei screamed out, backing at their attempt to approach him.

* ~ Meanwhile with Kitsume and Kurama ~ *

The neko flicked her tail in annoyance as she got into a fighting stance ready to pull out the katana. But from the way her stance was step up, and the way she was angled, she would hit neither Kurama, Kitsume nor Ixi, she would hit something behind them. Kitsume risked a back glance and saw nothing behind them. Kitsume looked back to Mika and saw the neko looking at Ixi. Ixi stared back, a calm look in her eyes. "So neko, you have thought on the matter?" Mika slowly nodded her head. "And?" Ixi continued, "What have you changed about your previous response to me?" Mika straightened up and got a not so mean look on her face. "It depends." Ixi got a mock surprised look on her face, "On what?" "On whether what the Mine rumors are true or not." Ixi laughed, "I was wondering why it seemed so empty when I went there. Well, it depends on what you've heard."

Mika was about to answer when a stranger in a black cloak appeared from the shadows. "Mika, stop fooling around and come on." "Leave me alone Skye." Mika hissed, then she changed her mind and followed him away into the shadows.

* ~ Back With Hiei and Kuwabara ~ *
"Hiei, are you sure you should be out after that?" Kuwabara said with concern, the four of them had split into groups of two to look for the foxes, but the real reason was the freak thing that happened with Hiei, and Yusuke didn't want Hiei to be alone. "I'm fine, you don't need to worry yourself with my health." Hiei snapped at him. They had been wandering for a while, and the baka kept asking him that about every ten minutes if he was okay, honestly you would want to kill him too. They came to a small brook and they stopped to rest, well Kuwabara had to at least. Kuwabara stooped to get some water and Hiei jumped in a tree to see if he could see anything. 'Nothing, where did those foxes go?' Hiei thought to himself. Hiei heard a muffled scream from below and before he could react, a net came flying towards him, and he fell down to the ground tangled in it.

Hiei attempted to stand up, but several spears pointed at his throat begged to differ. The people with the spears all wore the same outfit, black tunic shirts with some royal seal emblem on the right sleeve and black pants. They all seemed to have long lizard tails of various colors, and some had fins on their arms or legs or backs matching their tail color. Hiei looked for Kuwabara, he was unconscious and in handcuffs. Hiei gave the newcomers death glares, the only thing he could do because the cuffs seem to neutralize his spirit energy. "You are under arrest for trespassing in Crystal City territory." One of the lizard-like people said in a formal tone. He went to ramble on about rights, like silence (Ixi: Like with the police, right to remain silent, right to a lawyer etc. .) They gruffly lifted the two and dragged them to the base of a shear drop cliff. The lizard-like people traced some weird symbols and a gateway opened. They walked in silence into the darkness.

Once to the other side they traveled through some type of city, much of it beautiful crystal and other gem-like substances. It would have been gorgeous if they had been free to explore it without the handcuffs and guards. They proceeded to a huge castle like building. By now Kuwabara had started coming to, and was now groggily looking around. Hiei looked up and saw they were in a huge (And I mean huge) cavernous cave. There was an entire city in a cave. The awe-inspiring view was soon changed to the inside of the castle as they were taken to some kind of throne room. "HIEI! KUWABARA!" A familiar voice called out and Hiei saw Yusuke and Keiko in similar bindings.

"Now presenting their royal majesties King Abel and Queen Daphne. Their Royal Majesties have decided to proceed over this case themselves." An announcer cried out and two richly dressed people walked forward from a side room. "Charges against these four include Trespassing, and Resisting Arrest." The announcer called again. The King spoke next, "What do you have to say for your defense?" Hiei was about to answer and probably save all their butts but Kuwabara stepped in first. "HEY! WHO WAS TRESPASSING? NOBODY TOLD US WE COULDN'T BE THERE! WE'RE NEW HERE!" Yusuke and Keiko fell over anime style and even Hiei sweat dropped. "Your majesties . ." Hiei was about to say something but Kuwabara would shut up. "WE'RE NOT EVEN FROM HERE! HOW THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSE TO KNOW WHERE WE CAN'T GO? BESIDES WE'RE LOOKING FOR OUR FRIENDS!" "Why I never!" The Queen exclaimed as Kuwabara used lots of vulgar language at one of the guards who tried to restrain him. "How dare you sir!" The King exclaimed, "To the guillotine with these foul creatures!"

"KUWABARA! YOU'RE A F***ING MORON!" Hiei yelled, "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU JUST DID?" Kuwabara stopped yelling and watched as the guards restrained Hiei. (Seriously, Hiei is trying to kill Kuwabara by any means possible. Frankly I would too.) "Uh, no I don't, what's a guil-lo-tine?" Kuwabara sounded the complex word out. "Your Majesties, neither of these two represent us." Keiko said in a worried tone. (Hiei is still cussing Kuwabara out so Keiko has to shout over them. V_V') The Queen thought over what Keiko was saying to her.

She was about to say the final verdict when the main doors flew open. Ixi walking backwards led the group behind her. They were laughing about something until Ixi turned around. Kitsume, Kurama and the two Kumi stopped too. "Mom? What's going on here?" Ixi said in a surprised voice when Kitsume and Kurama recognized those in chains. "Nothing dear, just some trespassers." Ixi leaned over as Kitsume whispered something in her ear. "Uh mom, dad? We need to talk. Right Now." Ixi grabbed her parent's arms (the king and queen) and dragged them into a side room. Some muffled shouting was heard as Kurama and Kitsume walked over to their friends. "So . . ?" Kitsume had walked over to Hiei and Kuwabara. Hiei was still death glaring Kuwabara. "Yeah, heh." She wasn't even going to ask, she pretty much figured it all out.

Ixi reappeared with the King and Queen and jogged over to the guards. She whispered something that looked like she was giving an order. The cuffs were soon off. Ixi led the group to a huge room and ordered one of the servants to bring food and drink. "Sorry about that guys. Our security has been tighter lately." Ixi apologized with a bow. "Gomen nasai" She apologized again. "You can stop apologizing now." Yusuke muttered. The door clicked open and two young men walked in followed by a strange looking creature. (Think bird + mini velociraptor + bat = Keyou. I wish I had a scanner, then I could give you links to see my pictures V_V) "Lex, Nerru? What's up?" Ixi asked confused. Millenia popped out from nowhere and began speaking to Keyou in their own language. (Oh yeah, Lex is Pikabloo12's character) They both had solemn looks on their faces. "Not anything good." Lex said in a worried voice. He pulled out a piece of parchment type paper. It appeared to be some kind of star map, but several of the little dots were moving.

Ixi leaned over curious to what they were trying to show her. Her eyes widened as the realization of what she saw sunk in. "Great, this only means . ." She trailed off looking at the gang.

Ixi: Long Yes, but hopefully good. Please Review.

To FoxLion: Gomen Nasai that you weren't able to catch Inuyasha on TV, sadly the only Inuyasha they are playing on TV around me are repeats, good, but still repeats V_V. Who is your favorite character? Personally Kilala/Kirara (I don't know how you spell it, many people I know spell it both ways) is the best. Shippo's awesome too; they are the sanest of the bunch. And I'm going to take you up on your offer, please tell me what the other names mean. I think I saw Kurama's but I forgot where it was and you're not saying anything stupid. I should know I say stupid stuff all the time ^-^'. You are one of my best reviewers, Arigato Gozaimasu (thank you very much). *Hands FoxLion a shiny medal*

If you have any suggestions please tell me; I am open to requests. Sorry it took so long to update, I started a new story and that kinda took over, plus I have to finish another story that is not posted in ff.net. Still not done!

HAPPY EASTER EVERYBODY!!
