Chapter 21
Remind and Remember
Could this be it?
"Listen to me," he started.
"Hiei, I knew you would come for me." Botan ignored him.
"Botan." she just started crying frantically. "Botan please," the words fell dryly from his mouth.
"What is it?" She asked
"Listen to me onna." Hiei said, "Botan, I need you to find the others... I left a clue for them but they are too late."
"I don't understand." Botan said. Hiei spent the next ten minutes explaining his plan and what he had done.
"Look Urameshi." Kuwabara pointed at a note on Hiei's bed. He picked it up. "I can't read this," he said
"Of course not, you're an idiot." Yusuke said and took the note.
"We'll see who's an idiot." Kuwabara said
"This note is in another language. Lets find Kurama, he knows everything." Yusuke said facetiously.
On their way to Kurama Yusuke, Jin, and Kuwabara ran into Chu, Rinku and Touya, who seemed to be lost.
"This is the billionth time we have been through this hall." Touya yelled but was happy to see Yusuke and the other come up. "We're saved."
Kurama and Star were alone now, looking for Hiei and Botan. Kurama stopped at a black door. "This is the last place we have to look, "I hope they are in there."
"Yeah, Vicky might need our help." Star said and followed Kurama into a dark dungeon. "Hiei?" she yelled
"Oh no." Star heard Hiei.
"Star!" Botan yelled
"Kurama is with me too." Star said.
When they all found each other in the dark Botan suggested that they call Yusuke and the others. Kurama took out his communication mirror and called Yusuke. They would meet in the hall, just outside the dungeon.
Kayko and the others where in the back room and the small army was slowly advancing on them, they were pounding on the door. "This is not good." Kayko said
"This is ironic." Shizuru said calmly as always.
"How so?" Yukina inquired
"Well the guys left us here because it was safe, but we are just as defenseless and look at us now." She made out before the door burst open.
"This note is in a code." Kurama said
"So in other words?" Star asked
"I cannot decipher it." He said
"Oh just give me that." Hiei said, "I can read it." he said
"You can?" Botan asked
"Did you not hear me say that I could?" Hiei said coldly, still a little mad that Botan was mated to someone other than him. "It gives me the location of the main power behind the army." Hiei said
"Okay. So now we have a plan." Yusuke said
"Yes, Kurama, Touya, and I will find this contraption and figure out how to dismantle it. Yusuke, you and the others find Vicky and..."
"Vicky?" Botan was happy to hear her name and she looked at Hiei.
'I spared her life' he sent her with his mind
"And figure out how to hold off the army until we can stop Suzaku. And Suzaku is mine." Hiei ended and they split up.
