Disclaimer: I just want to get this stupid thing done so I can get to the next chapter. I swear to God, if I have to say that I don't own Hiei I'm going to kill someone! Eyes land on Kuwabara
Kuwabara: Gulp
Hiei: Do it, Yume-chan.
Kurama: Shakes head Hiei-san.... do not encourage her... if Kuwabara is to die then Yume will be massacred by Yusuke. You above all else should know this.
Hiei: I know that.
Kurama: Changes Subject Yume-chan does not own Hiei, Kuwabara, Yusuke, Me, or any of the other Yu Yu Hakusho cast, except Hinoki, Damien, Shoken, and Hinoki's Human Mother: Korin. She also owns the black bladed katana.
Kuwabara: sighs with relief
Me: I feel better now! Thanks, Kurama-san! Hiei-sama... you'd best get into your position for this scene.
Hiei: Hn... quiet, fool. You needn't tell me to hurry up. Heh, it's in my nature.
Shoken: BUT I DON'T KNOW MY LINES!
Yusuke: Comes in Do you even have any?
Me: A few... he'll have time to memorize them, though... not that he really needs them. Just get into position and be ready with your lines later.
Note: Hey, all! This one should be pretty fun. I have gotten an e-mail because some girl was mad that Hinoki had both Jin, Shoken and Kurama after her when she was only after Hiei. Well, I think I should straighten that up because the girl would not listen to my full e-mail. I'm not going to say who it was, because I'm nice that way. But anyways, Jin and Hinoki only had a temporary puppy love... they are only very good friends now. Hinoki is with Kurama so far. She isn't exactly after Hiei right now, she doesn't even really know that she likes him that way or that Hiei might be getting feelings for her. She's kinda clueless. Her heart says one thing and her mind denies it and says another. Just to straighten that out is all I had to say. Anyways... let's get this show on the road. And if you could tell all those clueless people that this is the sequel to Hiei and Kurama to the rescue I'd be very happy. Thanks. Maybe even advertise this on your story updates if you will.
The whole group, both humans and demons alike watched Hinoki leave them as she went inside.
"She seems really bummed." Kuwabara said.
"Of course she is, you incompetent fool. Like us, she has had someone taken from her that was close to her heart." Hiei snapped.
"They haven't been killed yet. That we can be sure of, so far. He's planning on using them as bait, as Hinoki had explained earlier." Kurama pointed out.
"Well, that makes sense, I guess. But couldn't he have done something other than kidnap Keiko to make sure we went." Yusuke said with a scowl as he jammed his hands into his pockets.
"It makes sense. We aren't competing, so he hasn't taken anyone we care for." Touya said.
"It would be an efficient explaination as to why he had done it." Shishiwaukumaru had said.
"Let's go inside, mates! It's bloody coldah than a freeza' out here!" Chu whined.
"Right he is! The chill is gettin' me down to the bone!" Jin said with a shiver.
"Yeah, it is getting a little cold. Let's go inside." Yusuke said folding his hands behind his head as he walked off.
"Maybe Genkai will let us have some hot cocoa and marshmallows!" Kuwabara shouted hopefully.
Inside, Hinoki ran her finger around the communication mirror's surface, tears welling up in her eyes as flashbacks occurred in her mind.
She heard the boys murmur things as they came inside. She walked off to the room that Genkai had asked for her to share with Hiei.
She closed and locked the door behind her. She planted her rear on the edge of the bed, she opened the mirror and watched the screen flicker on.
She expected to see Koenma sitting in his chair expectantly waiting for her call, but instead she had gotten the white haired and grey eyed Shoken. He sat on a tiled floor, his legs sprawled out.
He wore black hammer pants similar to Hiei's as well as black boots. He didn't have a shirt on, either. It was obvious he was trying to entice her.
Hinoki rolled her eyes. She was about to make smart remark, but something caught her eye. Behind Shoken the hostages were unconscious. Their hands and feet were bound together with some rope. Hinoki saw that it wasn't only her brother that was kidnapped, but Korin, her human mother as well.
"What the hell!? I thought you only took Damien!" Hinoki shouted.
Shoken chuckled, "Now now, my dear. I see you have been crying. If you missed me so much, I could be over there in a few minutes."
Hinoki growled. He knew damn right that she despised him, yet he continued to try and claim her. "Never in a million years would I waste my tears on a pathetic waste of puny penis like you. So stop flattering yourself! If you really want to come over here, then do it. But you had best harbor a death wish, because I will obliderate you the second you arrived. You wouldn't have time to blink!" She shouted again.
"Must you resort to threats and name-calling? It is quite arousing!" He said.
Hinoki shivered in disgust.
He was sexually harassing her, and she wasn't enjoying it.
"You look so beautiful when you're angry." Shoken said sweetly.
"Shut up! Just SHUT UP! Your words are poison for the ears!" She screamed.
Only seconds later, the door was broken down by Genkai's spirit blast.
The other demons had left now and only Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, Hiei, and Genkai remained.
Genkai took one look at the mirror and looked at Hinoki, "Shoken?" she asked.
Hinoki nodded slightly, traces of anger still apparent on her face.
Yusuke took this moment to snatch the mirror from Hinoki's hands and began shouting at Shoken, "Listen you Jerk-ass sonnuva Bitch! If you so much as touch Keiko I'll kick your ass in a heartbeat!"
Shoken chuckled, "Hinoki's threats excite me more than yours."
Yusuke growled at this, but before he could respond Genkai snatched back the mirror from him.
"Control your temper, dimwit." She snapped.
Genkai then turned her attention to the mirror's screen with a fierce yet professional gaze.
"Why have you kidnapped these people? They are innocent, not to mention that we have already agreed to partake in your tournament." She growled angrily. She was obviously trying to control her temper as well.
Shoken only laughed, "I wanted to be amused during my wait, so I raised the stakes a bit.I wanted to see how far she would push herself in her training knowing that many innocent lives rested with the outcome of that training. If she is going to gain everyone back alive, she must train hard. If she is to lose one match at the tournament, one person will be killed at random."
A thread of pure ravenous rage shot through everyone as their brows furrowed angrily. Their gazes hardened and became sharp. If looks could kill, Shoken would have been on the floor massacred in millions of pieces. His severed head would have been oozing foam.
"You're insane." Genkai managed to say.
"I know." Shoken crowed, "Oh! I almost forgot! I should warn you that the tournament has a little test similar to the Dark Tournaments. A Pre-free-for-all, if you will. You see, a large and dark forest borders this arena to be able to get through without getting lost takes skill. Your team's members are to seperate and get through the forest as best they can alive. If you are to run into another team's member you must fight them to the death. If a member dies your team is disqualified. Only ten teams actually are allowed to get through. Meaning the top ten to make it through alive are the ones to move on."
"You could have warned us sooner, jerk!" Kuwabara exclaimed.
"I don't have time for foolish games, turn him off, Genkai." Hiei snapped.
"Yes, but before you do, I should ask you if you have notice it growing considerably cold so early in the year?" Shoken asked, amused.
"How do you know?" Kurama asked.
"Let's just say I bent a promise I made. You see, it will get colder as time drags on. However, you no longer have a set time limit. The moment the first snow falls, you must abruptly end your training. If you don't, they all die." Shoken mused, followed by maniacle laughter.
Hinoki snatched the mirror from Genkai and before hanging up she shouted two words: "Go Menstruate!"
She looked to everyone in the room for support, but found none.
Everyone looked away from her. Now everything really did rest on her shoulders.
Hinoki looked to her feet, "We should... continue training, Hiei."
Hiei looked at her, "Are you sure you can handle it?"
Hinoki looked up at him, her eyes full of burning eagerness.
"Hiei, I can't play these games. I have to take whatever you throw at me. Don't hold back. Do whatever you have to that's necessary to increase my strength at least seven fold." Hinoki growled.
Hiei nodded.
"Hinoki, in a week, I will test you to measure how much you have grown." Genkai announced.
"And I will meet you here when the first snow falls." Kurama said sweetly.
"Right, now let's get to work, guys!" Yusuke shouted.
Back in Makai, Hiei jumped from treetop to treetop followed closely by Hinoki. Hiei had made her leave her katana with Kurama. She was not going to improve physically if she continuously needed to rely on a weapon.
"Only fools rely on weapons. A true fighter relies on both inner and outer strength. Weapons are mere tools that enhance your strength. If you rely on it too much, you will become weak and forget how to defend yourself unarmed." Hiei explained as they continued their way.
Hinoki acknowledged this with a small "mm-hmm."
Hiei had suddenly stopped in a branch high above the ground near a bald spot in the forest.
Below their were many varieties of low-level demons.
Hinoki looked to Hiei for an explaination, but found none. She was startled when she felt a push behind her. Hiei was pushing her off the branch to fight the hoard of demons.
"Hiei, you can't be serious!" She shouted.
"You must fight them to get stronger. You must grow in physical strength." Hiei explained.
"But didn't we already cover that in the cliff thing?" Hinoki asked, looking for an excuse.
"This is a way to test and see if you have improved due to that." Hiei countered.
Hinoki sighed and jumped down from the tree. She calmly approached the group of demons with her hands jammed in her pockets.
Hiei had better give her credit for this.
The demons turned from their newly caught meal and looked at Hinoki.
"A demoness! Lovely." Said one demon.
"Should we feast upon her innerds... or use her for other purposes." Asked another demon.
"You won't lay a hand on me... not before I kill you..." Hinoki said coolly.
She suprised herself how great her attitude had grown since her training with Hiei began.
"She is confident. Shall we prove her theory wrong?" Asked a demon.
"Lets!" Cried another.
At once all the demons charged at her.
Hinoki jumped into the air, and pulled her hands from her pockets. She focused on her sword forming from the glove when she remembered she no longer possessed it. "Shit." She murmured.
She looked up and saw a demon coming at her with it's claws poised.
Hinoki jumped up and used used a tree to propel herself to another tree, then used that tree to propel herself. She looked at her hands and saw claws forming from her fingers. She no longer had the irritable human nails, but long and sharp claws.
She jumped down from the trees and sliced open a demon with her newly formed claws.
Once she had finished, her hands were stained with demon's blood. And she had kept her promise. Not once did any of the demons touch her.
Hiei jumped down from the tree, "You did well... for a beginner." he said.
Hinoki smirked, "Well... shall we give the cliff another shot?"
Hiei nodded.
Back at the cliff Hiei tightly tied a rope around Hinoki's feet. This wasn't the same cliff, this one had less ledges to grab onto and more sharp rocks awaited her at the bottom.
"How many times have you done this as a child?" Hinoki asked Hiei as he finished the knot.
"Many time." Hiei answered.
Before Hinoki could ask him to be more specific, Hiei had pushed her down once again.
The first snow had finally fallen and Hinoki had been tested numerous times. A few times she did acceptionally well, and a couple other times she broke the punching machine.
Hiei had increased her speed and stamina as well as strength.
He didn't want to admit it, but if she had been given the Jagan eye she might have been more powerful than Hiei.
However, Hiei thought ahead and while Hinoki was dreaming, he did his own training.
They had packed everything they had needed, including clothes and such.
Hinoki couldn't see them as of yet, but she snuck home and packed her things. She was told how to get to the stadium by Kurama, who had looked into it shortly after she had continued her training with Hiei.
She tied her duffle bag to the back of the motor bike and started the engine.
Her family wasn't home, so she didn't need to worry about waking anyone.
Hinoki had put on her nicest set of clothes, which happened to be a golden, dress-like piece of clothing.
It had slits on both sides up to her thighs and had short sleeves. It was a fighters outfit similar to the red on Genkai wore, only shimmering gold and it had small sleeves. Hinoki wore no pants underneath it.
The slits were not that wide, so pants were not necessary.
For her feet, Hinoki wore cloth with bottoms like a shoe.
Her hair she styled into a short and spiky ponytail(Her hair is just above her shoulders, so the hair won't flop down).
With a couple of revvs, Hinoki drove out of the driveway in style.
Note: This might be a little short, but I'm updating a lot. Anyways... I could really use people advertising this because I am getting sick of getting reviews asking me to put up more when Hiei and Kurama to the Rescue is finished! IT'S KAPUT! DONE! FINISHED! Just tell people to look it up... I really don't want to have to yell at people again.
Kuwabara: Gulp
Hiei: Do it, Yume-chan.
