~*~Too late to go back~*~

a/n- okay, just to let you know three people voted! :trumpets sound: so far no one has chosen the same one. But I should probably tell you that it can't be Sayko and Shizuru. It's not that I don't like them or anything, it's just it doesn't work with the story. To tell you the truth, it's who you want to be with Botan… Koenma, Hiei, or Kurama. Oh, and to answer a question, Hiei didn't find her with his Jagan because then this one other thing wouldn't that I wanted to use. Ok well back to the story!

            "Wh-where am I?" Keiko said softly as she opened her eyes. Her head spun with a constant nagging throb. Keiko was wrapped up in what seemed to be a cocoon made of vines and leaves, she was hanging from a tree she found out as well. The demon who had captured her was gathering wood. Keiko didn't speak. She didn't move. All she did was think.

            'What am I going to do? I can barely move. Maybe if I threatened. The demons seem to know who Yusuke is… no that wouldn't work. They hate him. I'll I can do is pray that someone who won't eat me to come and rescue me, but I doubt that will happen. I might as well face the facts.' Keiko closed her eyes.

            "Do not be sad little girl. It'll all be over soon." he chuckled menacingly.

            "I won't give up." Keiko said calmly.

            "Sorry to say but you don't get a choice."

            "…"

            "Now take this, it will put you to sleep so know one will hear you scream." He thrusted a small vile of liquid in her mouth. Keiko immediately began to feel drowsy, and her head began to spin.  Suddenly a  tall, strong man was walking that way.

            "It's ok Keiko, you'll be fine, I'll take you back." He told her. That was the last thing she heard or saw before losing conciseness.

~*~*~

            "So… what are we doing again?"

            "Fool, for the hundredth time we're investigating on where that girl may be." Hiei spat out.

            "Hiei, she has a name you know, I don't believe she would appreciative you calling her 'that girl.'" Kurama said.

            "Hn. I know what her name is."

            "Then say it shrimpy!" Kuwabara said, exasperated.

            Hiei was getting very irritated and was about to punch Kuwabara when he got a strange feeling from his Jagan.

            'Why would he be there?' he thought to himself.

~*~*~

            "Togouro!"

            "Yes, it's me. You'll release the girl at once and give her to me."

            "Bu-but sir! She's a worthless human! Why would you possibly want her?"

            Togouro thought for a moment.

            "That is none of your concern, just give me Keiko."

            "I can't! Once a victim is in my cocoon, they cannot be released!" He exclaimed. (*cough*over confidant in ablilitys*cough*)

            Togouro shot some air at the area which was holding Keiko up from the ground. It seemed to be the main vine that was holding the whole thing together. As he predicted, the vine snapped and released the girl from her prison. Before she landed on the ground, Togouro caught her. With out tuning around, the demon who had captured Keiko, died.

            "Yusuke, I know you saw the whole thing. Come out now."

            "If you as much as touch her, I swear I'll-"

            "You need not tell me what will happen to me, I don't intend to harm her." Tougoro turned around and gently dropped Keiko into Yusukes arms.

            "I advise you to spend time with her. She's seems like a nice girl and you should tresure that because no one knows what will happen tomorrow8." And with that he left.

            "Why in the world would he help me?" Yusuke whispered.

~*~*~

            "brother?" The older toguoro asked in a caring voice.

            "Yusuke reminds me of myself some times, And the girl, Keiko she reminds me of-"

            "Then it'll be prefect."

A/n- hmm, I wonder what they're talking about… well I know!
I know everything that's going to happen in this story! Except for botan and X. so vote!
