Copycat: Welcome back! Yes I am still alive… -trys to ignore mass tugging of hair by Shayba- T.T Ouwies… Hiei had to go on a coffee break, so in what little time I have left to live I have decided to write this next chapter to offer as a peace treaty to both Hiei and Shayba for my life and my hair… ; -Starts typing rapidly-

Megumi: I'll get us started then. We are not responsible for the actions of the characters of YYH. We don't own them. We do, however, own Suka's gang and Kasumi. We accept full responsibility for any acts of violence or general stupidity they may commit. On with the story. –Ignores murderous glares from the cast.-

The group stared at Hiei in shock as he stood above Yusuke's lifeless body, his sword plunged through his heart, a calm and relieved expression on his merciless facade. Botan was the first to recover from her shock, jumping up and glaring at him as he pulled his sword free and sheathed it silently, regarding Botan with a cool eye.

"What do you think you're doing?! HAVE YOU LOST IT?!" Botan shouted, barely able to believe it was happening. Kurama stood, his guard up as he approached Hiei quickly, whip in hand. "I am assuming you have an explination? And a good one for your sake."

"That wasn't Yusuke."

"What do you mean it isn't Yusuke?! His spirit signature is the same!"

"An illusion… see for yourselves." Hiei retorted, gesturing to the body. They turned in time to see Keiko scrambling backwards as Yusuke's body turned a muddy brown, cracking into small clay chunks starting from an odd rune symbol engraved on his forehead until there was nothing left but dust.

"A golem." Hiei said simply, turning towards the window.

"I don't believe it…"

"Believe it. We are dealing with a powerful earth demon now… not to mention we must still find that sky demon as well. And it seems our Spirit Detective has decided to go missing in the process, leaving us even more work."

"Well… it seems we are in quite a distressing situation… again." Kurama said, returning his whip to its proper place in his hair.

"Yes… our favorite kind to be in. Where shall we begin?"

"Well… we need to find Yusuke before we can go much further in either case… Split?"

"I suppose it might be a good idea. You follow up on the earth demon. You may be able to counter their control and see if you can find out where Yusuke is… and Botan… Take the oaf back to his house to watch the little monster… and maybe Keiko as well…" He said, glancing over at the shaken young student.

"And what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to find where that sky demon is hiding."

"Don't do anything rash Hiei. Just because R…"

"Silence Kurama! The world does not need to know." He hissed, storming out the door in an instant. Kurama sighed and walked over to Keiko and put a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, we'll find Yusuke." She looks up at him before sobbing into his shoulder. They calmed her down a little before Kurama left to investigate the demonic temple. Botan sighed and lifted the unconscious Kuwabara onto her oar, lifting him up and heading towards the door pulling Keiko by the arm.

"Come along… Let's get you both home… I'm sure everything will be fine…"

Copycat: Okay! That was short… but I'm tired… and I didn't know what to write and I'm losing my hair so I'm giving you a cliffhanger free chapter!!! –curls into a ball with her hands on her head.- Can I have my hair back now? You can have Hiei in exchange! –gives you Hiei in a bubble.- Anyway… I still hope everyone will continue to read and review… because if you don't I might just never write again… ToT…

Megumi: Ignore her. She's sleep deprived and tested out. She had a math exam today that killed her brain which is why this chapter may not be the best. In the mean time, please read and review to maybe revive her brain faster. She'll get better. I promise. –Forces Copycat to bed and shoves chicken ramen down her thoat.- She hates soup… ramen will have to do…
