Assassin POV

I have been watching the boys for four months. They have not completely relaxed their guard against me. But they have slacked off. Four months is longer than I have ever waited in my life. But no matter, anything to ensure success. It is not how long it takes to get the job done, but the end results that matters.

I have discovered each of their weaknesses and their strong points. For Yusuke, his strong point is anyone that he cares about. He seems to lean more towards Kurama, which was a surprise, but he also fights for his ex and best friend Keiko and Kuwabara. He would even seem to fight for the pip-squeak Hiei. As for his weakness, it is the same as his strength. There is a fine line between the two, but if wielded right, he would die to save them, which is his downfall.

Next, is Kuwabara. He took the least amount of research. He is weaker than anybody, just a freak of a human. He pretends to be a strong fighter, but the second he actually begins the fight we see he is a pathetic mortal. His strength is his pride. He would die to ensure the win if it was necessary, but he tends to lose the lesser of the fights.

Then there is Kurama, his obvious weakness is his mother. I have watched him the most, knowing he is more cunning and sneaky than an actual fighter. But he also has a fondness for the rest of the group, and would be the one to take the hit for the team. But, his skill with plants is what made the legendary youko famous. I will have to do some research of the makai plants, since I never studied them before.

Last is Hiei. He will definitely be the strongest, for he has the least amount of weaknesses. But, he also has the strongest one, his sister Yukina. It is ironic, that he criticizes Yusuke from taking emotion into the ring. Yet, had he been one fighting, and Yukina was in danger, he would protect her, just less noticeably. He would do anything to make sure that she does not find out it is him. I can have him under the palm of my hand in no time.

I have decided that my course of action is to take Yukina. I will keep her hidden in my den. This will draw Hiei out faster than the rest of the boys. He will arrive, then I will kill him. I will then proceed to fight the three other boys when they get there. First killing Kuwabara, Kurama, then Yusuke. I will have to be careful while attacking, because they will all want to help each other, but I can do it. If I cannot defeat them, then I deserve to die.

Normal POV

The tentai were, at the moment, having a beach party. Yukina, was wearing a one piece shocking red swimsuit. It complimented her eyes and she had a turquoise sarong wrapped around her waist to compliment her hair. Boton, was wearing a hot pink string bikini that showed her body to its advantage. Keiko was wearing a one piece leopard print that was French cut and had no back. Kurama was wearing green swimming trunks. Yusuke was wearing green swimming trunks with black down the sides. Hiei was wearing all black swim trunks. And Kuwabara was wearing a blue speedo.

" Ewww, Kuwabara! Why do you have to go and wear a speedo? Spare my eyes, I'm blind"

" Shut it Yurameshi."

" I think Kuwabara looks very nice today."

" Why, thank you Yukina. You look lovely today too."

Unbeknownst to everybody, Yusuke had grabbed a large bucket and filled it with water from the ocean.

" WATER FIGHT!"

The water was thrown at Kurama, but unfortunately, Kurama stepped aside and it hit Keiko right in the face.

" YUSUKE YOU JERK!"

SLAP

" Ow, Keiko, that hurt."

" Well, you shouldn't have thrown water on me."

" Oh, the two are at it again, will you two never ease up? Were at the beach lets have some fun! PARTY!" yelled Boton.

" Let's play marco polo."

" OK, you suggested it, your it first Yusuke."

Everyone ran into the water. But Hiei just sat on a rock and looked out to sea. Yukina started heading in a different direction.

" Hey, Yukina where are you going? I will go with you."

Kuwabara started running out of the water towards Yukina.

" No, that is ok, thank you. I am just going to the bathroom. I will be fine by myself."

" Ok, I will wait for your return. Then we can have a water fight, and I, the Great Kazuma Kuwabara, will protect you from any harm."

Yukina giggles and reply's in the affirmative. She then heads toward the bathroom. Once inside the building, she does her business and thinks while washing her hands.

Yukina POV

Everybody is so nice. It is a lovely day to be at the beach. I just wish my brother could be here. I hope that wherever he is, he is happy.

Regular POV

Yukina is all of a sudden grabbed from behind. As she opens her mouth to scream, a gag is stuffed in. She is picked up and slung over a shoulder, then is carried away. All in the blink of an eye.

" I wonder what is taking Yukina so long? I will go check on her. Make sure everything is ok."

" Geesh Keiko! Its not like she fell in or anything!"

" Yusuke you are such a jerk!"

Keiko heads toward the bathrooms and walks in.

" Yukina? Are you in here?"

She doesn't see Yukina, so begins searching the stalls. As she opens the last one, she lets out a scream that everyone heard. Yusuke got there first, just in time to catch Keiko as she falls. ( The bathrooms were close by and Yusuke, as we all know, runs fast when he needs to).

" Keiko! What's wrong?"

She just points towards the stall, where the door has now swung shut. He walks over and opens it up.

" Holy shit. Hiei is going to be pisses."

At that moment, everybody else arrived.

" What am I going to be pissed about? If it is Yukina, you had better say it quickly."

" She was taken. There was a message left. It has been written in blood. She was took by the Shadow Assassin."

" That BITCH!"

" My lovely Yukina! I will bring you back from the loser who cannot fight me like a man. He had to steal you away like the cowardly thing to do."

" Now, Now. That is no way to refer to me. I have taken her, yes, but i have also returned."

There is no more need for talk, as Hiei was attacking quickly and accurately. He swiped with the katana from the side. The assassin twisted away and backwards, then brought out his own sword. Hiei attacked from the top, swiping downwards. The assassin brought his sword up to block. Then quickly grabbed a dagger from his side and held it to Hiei's neck.

" If you do not stop, you will never know where I have put Yukina."

Hiei did not listen to the words that were spoke. He used his opposite hand to grab the dagger, then slid his katana along the length of the assassins, until his was free from the restraint of being blocked. He then backed out of range, and adjusted the sword so it was being held at his hip and was facing the assassin. Then he ran straight ahead. The assassin just stood there, then at the last second, he grabbed a second katana and crisscrossed them, like scissors. He brought them down toward the ground, trapping Hiei's katana.

" STOP!"

Everybody looked around for the feminine sounding voice that seemed to come from everywhere. When they all turned their attention back to the fight, the assassin was gone, and Hiei was looking like he was ready to kill.

" Hey, where did he go, and who yelled out?"

" I don't know Kuwabara, but it seems to me that someone wanted to help out the assassin. Though, how they could hide their whereabouts so well and still be able to distract all of us while remaining hidden, it will remain a mystery"

Thank you to my reviewers. I am making up the story as I go, but I do have a general plot. If any of it does not make sense, please let me know, it is late and I am tired. Reviews are welcome, as are flames.
