*Editor's Note- Ok. The last two chaps were sappy. Not my fault. It's the mood I wuz in! :p I can't promise not to write any more sappy ones! It all depends on my friends' ideas and my mood. K? Don't blow a fuse out on me!

" Where are you taking me?" Kitty asked while being dragged through a hallway.
" We're taking you to see Koenma. He'll sentence you to whatever he likes!" the lead ogre laughed.
Kitty fell silent. She started thinking about Hiei, Kurama, and Alaira. " I wonder what they're doing?" Kitty thought, " Are they missing me? I doubt it. They're probably glad to be rid of me. But, I really miss Hiei. Look at me . . . here I am . . . Daughter of the Damned . . . being dragged behind a troop of guard ogres . . . and thinking about whether a fire apparition misses her or not. What's happening to me?"
Kitty then noticed that the lead ogre had left the group and entered a tall majestic door. She heard a voice from the other side of the door start yelling something. She was then forced to stand up by the ogre holding her chains. " Get up, tabby. Koenma wants to see you." the ogre said snarling.
Kitty just looked at the ogre with murder in her eyes. " No one calls me tabby. I'm the daughter of Lucifer, Lord of the Damned. You'll never get away with this!" Kitty said as she was pushed through the doorway.
She saw a desk with a ton of papers on it at one side of the room. A tv screen hung on the opposite wall. " So . . . this is one of the culprits who stole the items?" said a high voice from behind a stack of paper. " Doesn't look like much, just a girl."
" Show yourself. I have no time for games. You wait until I reach my brother! He'll come to rescue me along with my best friends!" Kitty said as she took a step towards the desk.
" Well aren't we in a bad mood. I guess I would be too . . . being taken hostage by those ogre guards." the voice said again. Then all of a sudden a small toddler popped out from behind the paper stack. The toddler had on a blue outfit. He had a pacifier in his mouth and the letters "JR" on the front of his yellow and blue hat. Kitty looked startled as the toddler stood up and said " Hello. My name is Koenma. I'm the Ruler of Spirit World in my dad's absence."
" My name is of no business of yours. I'll tell you that right now." Kitty said looking at Koenma again.
" Ogres . . . you are dismissed. I want to talk to this girl in private." Koenma ordered.
" But . . . sir . . . this is a dangerous prisoner. She is unpredictable. She might attack you!" the lead ogre said surprised.
" I said leave her here and you leave. Are my orders clear?" Koenma said looking at the ogre guard.
" Yes sir. I understand." the lead ogre saluted and then hurried out the door.
" Now . . . who are you, young lady? Are you a demon or human?" Koenma asked while sitting back down in his chair.
" I'm a demon. Ice apparition. I am the daughter of Lucifer. Sister to Yoko. Friend to few." Kitty said looking Koenma in the eyes.
" My . . . I've heard your name before, Daughter of the Damned isn't it? Also known as Kitana Sesshome Koragame or Kitty. Am I right?" Koenma said looking up from his book.
" If it is, so what?" Kitty said snarling.
" You're too touchy. Tell me who pressured you into stealing the items? Hmm . . . or let me guess . . . it was your brother or maybe that friend you keep talking about." Koenma said, hoping that Kitty would give in and tell him.
" I said I'll never tell you. I stand by that." Kitty said.
" We'll just have to take drastic measures to make you talk." Koenma said with a half smile.
Kitty didn't like the smile on his face. She also didn't like the way he had said ' drastic measures'.
" Drastic measures? What does that mean? Are you going to punish me by shaking rattles in my face?" Kitty said laughing.
Koenma thought to himself " Man . . . this girl is a tough nut to crack. I hate to do this but I have to . . . there's nothing but the Mid-Evil torture devices left to use on her."
" Ogre come back in here to receive the girl's sentence." Koenma yelled at the ogres standing outside the door.
The ogre ran in and saluted to Koenma and asked. " What must be done with the prisoner sir?"
" She is sentenced to the Torture Treatment." Koenma ordered.
" I don't care how much you torture me. I'll never betray the ones that I love." Kitty said tears forming in her eyes. " Hiei, I hope you're proud of me." Kitty thought to herself, " I'm doing this to protect you! Did you hear me Hiei?! I'm doing this for you!"
*Back in the mortal world*
Hiei is still laying on Kitty's bed clearing his head. He then bolted upright. Kitty's words flashed through his head. " Huh? What was that?" he thought to himself. He then heard the words again, 'I'm doing this for you!'
" I would swear that Kitty's actually talking to me. But how?" Hiei said. He then concentrated his thought to reaching Kitty. " Kitty, Kitty are you there? Can you hear me?"
He then heard these words, " Yes, I'm here. But where are you Hiei? I can't see you."
" I know I'm here at your house with Kurama and Alaira. Where are you?"
" I'm in Spirit World. These ogres captured me when the gateway wouldn't open! I'm so scared. I've been sentenced to something called the Torture Treatment."
" Oh . . . God not that. That's the worst thing that you can be sentenced to. I wish I could be there. I'd get you out."
" I wouldn't want you to be here. You might just get caught. It's better that one of us got out than both of us caught."
" Kitty, I miss you."
" I miss you too Hiei. Where's Kurama?"
" Kurama is in the kitchen with Alaira. Do you know what part of the Palace you're in?"
" I'm in a room with Koenma. It has a desk in a corner piled with papers and a tv screen on the opposite side."
" You're in the main room of the Palace. There's no way to get out of there. I hate that I'm not there. I could've gotten you out of this!"
" It's ok. I think that the ogres suspect something because I haven't cussed them out in a long time. I'll try to talk to you later! Remember Hiei . . . I . . . I love you."
" Yea. I...umm . . . I love you too."
" Goodbye."
"Goodbye KitKat."
Hiei just sits on Kitty's bed wondering what just happened. He can't believe that Kitty was sentenced to the Torture Treatment. " She might not survive that. Rarely has a person been able to walk away from those torture devices. And she said that she wouldn't betray me. I can't imagine the torture she'll go through . . . and just to protect me!" " How could I have let this happen?!" Hiei yelled punching the pillow he was laying on. Alaira was coming up the stairs when Hiei had shouted. She came running into the room worried. " Hiei are you okay? Did something happen?"
" Alaira, do you believe in talking by means of thought?" Hiei asked.
" Uhh . . . what do you mean by that? Did you talk to Kitty by thought?" Alaira said curiously.
" Yes . . . I think I did. I'm not sure though. She said that she was in the Palace and she was caught by the ogre guards. She also said that she was sentenced to the Torture Treatment until she tells Koenma about us . . . but she said that she would never betray me." Hiei said looking at the floor.
" Hiei, I can believe that. Kitty has these kind of telepathic powers. She can talk to anyone she wants by means of thought. If you think you talked to her, you probably did." Alaira said.
" She told me that it was better that one of us was caught than both of us . . . if only I had been there . . . I could've stopped them from capturing her." Hiei said still looking at the floor.
" Hiei let's not talk about this again until we've eaten dinner. Come on down to the kitchen the food is getting cold. We can talk about this later." Alaira said getting up and walking out of the room and down the stairs.
" Right . . . you can put it off . . . but I can't . . . I don't know why but I love her and I'm not going to let her be submitted to torture because of me. I'm leaving . . . I'll probably be gone for a while but oh well . . . I never felt welcome here . . . " Hiei thought to himself as he picked up his sword, the Shadow Sword, and Kitty's diary. He put Kitty's diary in his cloak and put his sword back around his waist. " It's time to go." he said as he jumped out of the window.
