Chapter 8

Confusion

"Wonder what we could find here?" Shara said as she walked to the corridors. It was all made of stone and had moss on the side. There was a faint light from the torch in the distance.

"Besides skeletons, skeletons, and skeletons?" Yusuke said as he and Kuwabara were clinging to Kurama.

"Yes. Precisely." Shara said.

"Moss?" Yusuke said.

Shara rolled her eyes. She looked at Hiei who was behind her. She noticed that Hiei looked away at her. So he was looking at me. Shara said. I knew it.

Shesh! She saw me. Hiei mentally battled to himself, That was embarrassing. No, wait, embarrassing? Me, Hiei, embarrassed? I must be out of my head.

"So you were looking at her, aye?" Kurama said. Yusuke and Kuwabara had already let go of Kurama and were in the front with Shara (whom they thought was Shamel) picking a fight with her.

"Quit it Kitsune." Hiei said.

"Sorry Hiei, the word 'quit' is not part of my dictionary." Kurama said with a smile.

"Thank you Kurama." Hiei said sarcastically.

"You're welcome." Kurama said with a bow.

Soon, they entered a room that had beautifully paved darpet on the floor. "Wow..." was all they all (except Hiei) had to say.

"Hn." was all only Hiei had to say.

A limp figure was leaning in the pillar.

"Shara?" Hiei said confused.

"Right." Mitohino said. He appeared behind Shamel (whom everyone thought was Shara) and smirked.

(You know what? I was reading the Truth or Dare Hiei and I have this insanity feeling of making Hiei say, "This is MY woman! This girl is MINE! Don't touch HER!)

(Then I was reading There's Someone Out There For Everyone and it's like Hiei and a girl named Reanne where they are already er- "married" AFTER so long and many agonizing chapters. It t'was cool bu there were some parts I had to skip But you will never find a cooler story ANYWHERE! I guess, caous there's like thousands of stories already posted in Yu Yu Hakushu)

(Ok, to stop my blabbering fingers, not mouth...)

"Let go of her!" Hiei shouted.

Yusuke and the others except Kurama looked at Hiei amazed. "Um, Hiei, are you really ok?" Yusuke asked.

Hiei death-glared them.

"Ok, sorry for asking..." Yusuke said.

"No you don't have to worry Yusuke." Mitohino said, "I have a little puppet that I want to show all of you." With his fingers, he drew out a limp figure moving around like a puppet.

"Sh-Shara?" Hiei and the others said uncertainly. (The Shara here is really Shamel)

Shamel (whom they thought was Shara [But she's not Shara! k?] and was the puppet) looked at them with her evil little smile.

Flashback (Ok, I know how you guys hate flashbacks but I couldn't help it! It's like 12:32 am and my dad says I still need to groooooowwww...)

"Hm." Mitohino said. Shamel clasped her hands to her head as information upon information began to sip through back to her head.

She looked at Mitohino. Mitohino grinned. "You owe me a lot, remember?" Mitohino said, "You owe me your life, you owe me your self, you owe me your will, and most importantly, you owe me your love."

"Eh?" Shamel said. Yup, things were getting mighty confusing.

Slowly, her anger for Hiei ebbed away. She began wishing that he was here. Even if she could not make Hiei believe that she as the real Shamel, she just wanted him to be with her.

Besides, she had a right, right? She already loved Hiei from the beginning...

"You owe me your love and your life." Mitohino said.

"I what?" Shamel said.

"You- "

"I what?" Shamel said.

"Shamel," Mitohino said crossing his hands, "That style won't work."

"What style?" Shamel said.

Mitohino rolled his eyes.

Back to the present...

"Her fault." Hiei said crossing his arms, looking away from Shamel.

Shamel's eyes grew round.

"Hear that Shara?" Mitohino said to the real Shara, "I mean Shamel." he said after a hesitant thought or two.

(Hey, I got an idea! I'll call the real Shamel and Shara with the name real in front of their names!)

The real Shara (whom the YYH gang thought was Shamel) looked at Mitohino with fear in her eyes.

Strange... Hiei thought, Why is she scared of Mitohino? She has nothing to be scared off since Mitohino only wants to kill Shara... Unless... This Shamel is not the real Shamel but Shara...

(Confused? In short, Hiei was starting to figure out that maybe the fake Shara was really Shamel and that the fake Shamel was really Shara.)

Mitohino took the real Shara by the cuff of the neck and whispered violently in her ears, "You will pay for what you did to me later..." he said, "Right now, I have to kill this meddlesome Rekai team."

Kurama and Yusuke looked confused. Kuwabara was looking around.

"Then if you want to destroy us, what is the point of making allies with the Spirit World as you have told us?" Kurama said.

Mitohino laughed. "I have my very own KINGDOM! Do you think that I would be willing to share this Kingdom of mine to the Spirit World? No meddlesome fools! They will take every of my riches. Everything!"

"Then what is the point of sending us here?" Yusuke said.

"I want to kill the troublesome detectives that could cause the obliteration and separation of my kingdom." Mitohino said stroking the real Shamel's hair. Mitohino was a head taller and a half taller than Shamel.

"Like how?" Kuwabara said as his Spirit Sword appeared in his hand.

Mitohino laughed again. Before the detectives could dub him as insane, Mitohino looked at them angrily, "I will tell you as you have all no escape."

"Go ahead." Hiei said dully.

Mitohino grinned. "Put it this way. I have a growing kingdom however it is not big enough. I need all support and power that I can imagine to bring warriors to me! However! That is not what I need. I need people! People who will follow my command and fertile land in which my people can toil upon and in which no one but my people can enter in!"

Hiei was not listening. He was looking at the real Shara who was whimpering beside him. I have never seen Shara. However, I have seen Shamel. Hiei thought, This is all getting too weird. Too weird... Who is who? Who is the real Shamel and who is the real Shara?

"And so?" Yusuke said as he raised an eyebrow.

"I needed a forcefield." Mitohino said, "A living forcefield so it can differentiate my people and those who are imposters."

"Impossible!" Kurama said.

Hm, if I was Shamel, what would I do? Hiei was thinking. Suddenly, he had a vision of himself singing a ningen nursery rhyme. Ok, that was not helping... Shamel... Yup, Hiei was desperate for her. I mean, he did not want to go on loving the wrong girl, did he?

He knelt down and wiped the sweat from the real Shara's forehead in a caring manner. The real Shara breathed deeply.

"Thanks Hiei..." the real Shara muttered.

"Hn." Hiei said.

"Impossible! Yes, I know!" Mitohino said, "However, I could weave around the word impossible and came around Shamel." he said holding the real Shamel who was lifeless.

The YYH gang looked at each other confused. Wasn't that Shara and the one beside Hiei Shamel?

Unless...

"I wanted to kill you detectives!" Mitohino said, "To kill you all so I can use her!"

"Even if you kill us, there will be the Special units Force to Deal with." Kurama said calmly but with the rose whip in his hand.

"However! It will bid me enough time! Enough time to gather Shamel's energy to create a forcefield of my own!" Mitohino said as he laughed evilly.

Just then a loud voice was heard.

"HOW DARE YOU!"

"No, Hiei, stop, I-it hurts..." the real Shara said as Hiei had his long fingers around the real Shara's neck. "H-Hiei... it hurts..." the real Shara said.

"How dare you trick me?" Hiei said, "HOW DARE you to impersonate SHAMEL?!" Hiei said ringing the real Shara's neck in his hands.

"Hiei, put her down!" Yusuke said. The YYH gang struggled to get Hiei's hands pried open from the real Shara's neck. Soon, after a few long agonizing minutes, they managed to pry Hiei's hands open.

Hiei made no effort to clasp the real Shara's neck into his bloodstained hands. He reached for his sword and pointed it at Mitohino.

"Do not dare harm Shamel, Mitohino." Hiei said his eyes blazing, "Do not dare harm Shamel..."

Inside the real Shamel, Shamel felt so good to be called Shamel again.

She hoped things would turn out fine.
