Disclaimer: I don't own YYH. That belongs to Yoshihiro Togashi. I do,
however, own Faith Dilana, Samantha Jordan, the daemon, Delanthar, Hope,
Marie, John, Charity, Sarah, Taishi, Kyle, Karen, Mizuki, Kazuki, and Koji.
Most of them won't appear for a while. There may be some similarities to
Wish, but I'm not entirely sure. I've never read Wish before. Therefore, I
don't own that either. Mizuki, Kazuki, and Taishi are borrowed names. They
come from characters in Comic Party. I don't own that either.
Notes: This gets pretty interesting form here on out. Enjoy the angst!

Chapter 9: Delanthar's Plan In Action
"Charity! Company!" Charity, hearing her mother's call, ran down the stairs. Those same people were there. Charity smiled and greeted everyone. Then she followed Sam and the other children into the playroom. Sarah, John, and Taishi followed Charity to the game console. They played fighting games, while Samantha played with the little kids. The four gamers became very close.
Faith sat in Hiei's lap on the couch. Kurama was on his stomach on the floor, while Botan sat next to him. Yusuke and Kayko were in the windowsill, and Kuwabara and Yukina were in the chair. Koenma and Hope sat on the couch.
"How're things here?" asked Kurama, "Anything we've missed?
"Other than Charity and Samantha growing up," said Faith, "Not much."
"Any evil demons?" asked Yusuke.
"Hiei and the girls took care of them," Faith said. Everyone told their stories. Kurama and Botan's trip was the most exciting.
Delanthar smirked. His plans were finally ready. He could take action now that her friends had returned. The Prince of Darkness slipped into the shadows.
Marie, Kyle, and Karen ran around outside. A man slipped out of the shadows. Delanthar used his powers to put the three to sleep. With the children in his arms, Delanthar snuck away.
"They're gone!" Yusuke followed Kayko's scream to the nursery. It was just as she had said: Kyle and Karen were gone.
Yukina searched the house frantically, but to no avail. Marie wasn't there.
Delanthar crept up on Mizuki and Kazuki. He silently put them to sleep and took them.
Koji was already asleep. Kurama's child was also taken.
Hope searched the entire palace. But the twins were nowhere to be found.
Botan slumped to the floor. She had searched the whole house, but Koji wasn't there. Tears shimmered on her cheeks.
"We'll find them," Faith promised her friends. Kurama was still trying to comfort Botan, and Kayko was crying silently. Hope and Koenma had already sent a search party to find the missing children.
Over the next week, there was still no sign of the missing children. Everyone was becoming scared.
"I couldn't find them," Botan said through her tears, "They aren't in Spirit World."
"No sign of them in Makai," said Hiei.
"Nothing," said Kurama, "No one's seen them."
"They aren't in Ningenkai either," said Yusuke, "We've checked everywhere."
"Where could they be?" asked Koenma. Faith and Hope gasped.
"You've only searched Earth!" said Hope.
"They're in either the angel Realm or Hades," Faith said quietly, "And Hades is one place I will not go."
"I'll search Heaven," said Hope. She flew straight up, until she was out of sight.
"Who will search Hades?" asked Kurama.
"I will," said Charity, "I'm half demon, so I can go."
"No," said Faith, "I won't let you go!"
"Then who will?"
"No one. Not until we hear from Hope."
Koenma watched the skies. Hope flew in the window and embraced him, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"They weren't there," she said, "The other angels said they saw Delanthar take six children into Hades!"
"We have to tell the others," Koenma said as he blinked back tears.
"No!" Botan burst into tears. The other children stood frozen with fear. Faith's eyes watered.
"We have to get them back," Hiei said, "But who's going to go?"
"You can," said Samantha, "After all, you're a friend of the Darkness. You could get in and out and no one would care."
"I can't go," Hiei explained, "I married and angel. Delanthar was watching us until I married Faith. I would be killed if I went.
"I'll go," said Charity, "They don't' know about me."
"True," said Faith, "But I want someone to go with you."
"I'll go," said Sarah.
"Me too," said John.
"I'm going too," said Taishi.
"Be careful, princess," said Yusuke.
"Don't get yourself killed," said Kuwabara.
"Good luck," said Kurama. (AN: Come on, people, you should know who they're talking to.)
Well, that's it for this chapter. It's longer than the rest of them. It hit the third page. Well, anyways, it's time for tidbits.
"I'll go with you," said Hiei, "As far as I can."
"What?!" Hiei fumed, "When was that part of the deal?"
"Hiei!"
"Dad!"
"Jaganshi, you idiot!"
Hope that keeps ya interested until the next chapter. Ja ne!
