Escape

Hiei was running as fast as he could with out holding anything back. He had tried to contact Caralama with his mind but something was blocking him. He knew that he would have to choose which one he was going to take with him but he had made a plan to make sure that he would get both of them. And heaven help Shigure if he had hurt ether of them in any way.

Hiei kept on beating himself up that he had let this happen. He couldn't believe that Caralama and Yoko were stolen especially Caralama. She was in his arms and yet she was still stolen from him. Then the doctor sent him that image of Shigure giving Yoko just a bit of pain but Hiei knew that there had to be some reason to him putting that liquid on Yoko's neck he just didn't know what.

The laboratory was just coming into view as he remembered that Caralama had fallen into Yoko's arms and then he began to say something. Hiei knew that Yoko was thinking him self as her father and Caralama thought herself as Yoko's daughter. Honestly he would have thought Caralama was his daughter because of her ears, when she turned into a fox and when she purred when her ears were rubbed. Hiei remembered that Yoko's face looked really worried and when Caralama had touched his face he seemed to have winced as if she had hurt him. He also noticed that Caralama looked tired so she might have fainted. It all made since and it all had to add up to that liquid that Shigure had put on Yoko's neck. Hiei began to run faster as he began to remember that Shigure had said Caralama was safe but for how long?

He was hoping that his plan would work as he moved his hand to his neck and touched the dark purple pendant that was around his neck.

Caralama woke to the sound of voices all around her and she recognized them. They were the voices of the Dark Signs, "Oh darn she some how gave him a pendant and its protecting the both of them," Caralama recognized that voice as Samantha one of Kelsey's friends, "How are we going to get at them now Kelsey? Yoko needs to pay for what he has done and we can't do anything to Caralama because she also has a pendant. How did she know how to duplicate the pendant an make it as strong as hers?"

"Keep quiet Caralama as far as I know they don't know that we're awake," Caralama heard Yoko's voice in her head so she just kept quiet.

"What are we going to tell Seifer? He wont be happy with this you know," it was Samantha's voice again, "He is going to go raging mad when he finds out."

"I know, I know but maybe his anger will hit Yoko in some way or weaken the pendant," it sounded like Kelsey was being a bit hopeful when she thought of this, "Or our angel could hurt him. We have never asked him stuff like this, it might just work!"

The door opened and Yoko shielded Caralama from the blinding light as the Dark Signs went out and slammed the door behind them, "What did they mean by their angel Caralama?" Yoko asked as he looked over at Caralama and saw that she had some colour in her cheeks and her skin didn't look translucent anymore. But she still looked like she was weak. Even her voice sounded like it didn't have that much strength as she spoke.

"Well there angel is actually the devil," Caralama took a breath she was so weak, "Did you ever read a Bible before Yoko?"

"No, being a demon I don't read things that are Holy," he said with something in his voice that Caralama couldn't name, "Your still pretty weak by the looks of it Caralama. We had better talk with our minds instead of our mouths we might be watched as well." he suggested as if trying to change the subject.

"I agree with you Yok. The Dark Signs are just out side the door I can feel them," Caralama clutched Yoko and then let go of him. She looked around and then put her hand on the wall and lifted herself her self up. Yoko was instantly at her side but he saw that she wasn't having any trouble with standing up at all, "You don't always have to look after me you know. I can take care of myself and I'm a lot stronger then I look," Caralama looked at Yoko and gave him a smile that didn't show that she was tired.

"Either you're telling the truth or you're very good at masking your weakness," he told her with a smile on his face.

"I'm telling the truth but you on the other hand are pretty weak and don't say your not. I can see that you're a bit shaky. Oh I hate being locked up and not being able to do anything about it," Caralama looked so discouraged but she wasn't angry this surprised him, "I can't risk being angry right now Yoko. If I become angry then I lose energy. I wonder how long we have been in here."

"To long if you ask me Caralama," he said as he sat down against the wall and dragged his legs up to his chest. As he remembered what Nakada had said about any kind of Sign getting weak after a burst of anger. Caralama was right he was weak and he wasn't good at hiding it either. Caralama kneeled beside him and cupped his face with her hand, "You know Caralama I don't feel any where close to what I did to my prisoners," he saw the look of confusion in her eyes, "I always chained them to the wall with tight shackles. Before I was knocked unconscious I saw Nakada and she was angry that she had not thought of going into your mind to get rid of Alfred. I some how got her to calm down and I ended up blushing. She had put her hand on my face to cool it down but for some reason she looked like she had gotten scared. She said she had to go and then she disappeared. I guess she doesn't like demons like me huh?" after he had said this he forced a little smile on his face.

Caralama was still holding his face when he confessed to this holding nothing back, "You have changed a lot from the first time I meet you Yoko. But I don't think Nakada ran away from you because of what you are but because she can't be in an intimate relationship with a man with out killing a certain person. She must have wanted to try and stop herself from getting close to you."

Yoko looked at Caralama hard and asked, "Caralama, Who would die if she were in an intimate relationship with a man?

Caralama put her hand down and wrapped her arms around her legs, "You know I wasn't supposed to be alive after a few days I was born?" Caralama wasn't looking at Yoko but she could since that he was worried, "Nakada knew about this before I was thought of. So she went to Deaths one day and made deal with them. Since all Signs after the age of eighteen don't get sick or die even of the most dangerous or simplest poison she made a deal with Deaths that he would spare my life only if she didn't get into an intimate relationship with any kind of man until I was at the age where I could only die if I was shot in the heart by something solid or my head was cut off. So that is why she ran away from you. Not because of what you are but because she didn't want to get to close to you."

Yoko looked at Caralama as if not believing what he had heard, "So she doesn't hate me?"

"No Yoko she was just worried that I might die if she got to close to you. Now back to serious matters. I think I might have enough power for me to do something," Yoko looked at Caralama with a questionable look on his face, "You remember that spell I told you about that I was learning before I got bored? he nodded, well I mastered that spell. That's why I got bored of it. The spell was how to go through walls."

"Go through walls? Caralama you can actually go through walls?"

"You bet but I can also get you to go through walls. The only thing is I have enough energy for one of us."

"You go Caralama I can easily protect my self."

"No Yoko, my pendant was blessed by god and that is something that cannot be copied so your pendant can't stand the force that the devil will put on it. So you wont survive but I will. So you have to go I already know that you can make the distance from here to the way down. It is the same height going down as the bedroom we were in at the hide out. I will give you some of my energy so you won't land on your hands and knees. Hiei is coming he is about half a mile away. You will be able to see him and he will also see you. The jump that you make wont waist up all your energy so you will be able to tell him everything."

Yoko couldn't believe what he was hearing. He couldn't leave Caralama behind but before he could think or say anything he was instantly stronger and then he felt like he was being pushed and he went through the wall.
