I threw open the palace doors and stormed over to the rooms that were currently being occupied by Kurama and Meera. I went to Kurama's first. I slammed the door open in order to wake him up. It worked; he jumped three feet into the air and landed on the ground. He quickly got up and looked around before he spotted me. Any other time I would have found this amusing, however, I didn't have time for it and was rather annoyed.
"Hiei? What is it?" He asked sleepily. I ignored him and went to do the same to Meera. Once they were awake I explained everything that happened, everything I had found. They just stared at me like I was crazy.
"She said she's lost in Atlantis?" Meera asked. I nodded. "But she knows Atlantis like the back of her hand. There's no way she could be lost."
"But she is. She said that it's Atlantis but it's different." I explained.
"Okay, so we've established that she may be lost in her own mind." Kurama started. "And that she is in Atlantis. Could she be in an Atlantis that was before she was born?" He asked. Meera looked thoughtful and I believed his explanation to be reasonable.
"She's been alive for over six centuries though. And as far as the history books go, Atlantis has stayed relatively the same for over a millennia." Meera said. "There's no way she could be lost." I was becoming annoyed for what seemed like the hundredth time.
"Who cares?!" I growled. "It doesn't matter. All that matters is that we need to find her and bring her back. It may be our only chance to free her." I said. They seemed a little surprised by my outburst but I couldn't care less.
"Hiei's right. But how?" Kurama agreed. I gave him a flat stare.
"I'll go into her mind and find her." I said. "It's simple as that."
"But if you go into her mind that will put you into a coma too. What if you don't come out?" Meera started to rant.
"I'll come out," I said as I left, "And she will too."
"Wait, we're coming too!" Meera shouted as she ran after me.

We passed through the portal and informed Genkai of what was going to happen. She said that she would tell Koenma if need be. We set up another futon beside Amara's. I stood over her, staring into her face. I used my jagan to transfer my mind into hers.
I could feel my conscious mind slipping away from my body and into hers. I fell into darkness. It was a long fall, one that I could see no end too. Hell, I couldn't see anything. But, I could sense her presence, along with several other presences.

Author Note: That's the fourth chapter. I'd like to tell you all something. A lot of you are saying that this story is predictable and that you already know what is going to happen. News flash people, looks can be deceiving and not everything is, as it seems. They're in a world where everything and anything can and will happen. For all you guys know, this story could have a sick twist at the end. This may not have a happy ending... Oh yeah, don't forget to review.
