Hiei Pov

We went through the Makai in search of the flames, I was getting nervous that we may not make it back in time or not find the rose at all. Normally I could care less but when it came to family I would do anything for them.

I felt the familiar pull of the Makai fires. For some reason I always felt a slight pull to them when I was near them. The familiar black fires came into view. "These are it?" Yusuke asked.

Kurama and I nodded. He tried to go forward but he quickly stepped back. His skin had a slight red tinge to it. He couldn't go any further. "Damn." He muttered.

Kurama and I continued through the fires, Kurama was an S class demon that was why the fires didn't burn him. A large dragon demon with red eyes and silver/black scales came in front of us. "Why are you here in my domain?" he hissed.

"We are looking for the Black Rose." I stated.

"The Black Rose? Ha! You will not find it for you will not get past me." I growled. For each minuet we dealt with him the closer Kagome came to deaths doorstep.

"You will move or I will kill you." I sneered.

"Two little demons such as yourselves think that you can kill me? Such a foolish thought,"

Kurama and I were quickly loosing our patience. I drew my sword while Kurama got out his rose whip. "You had your chance, now die!" He proved to be a worthy opponent.

He grabbed Kurama's rose whip and flung him further into the fires. When he didn't return I assumed that he was knocked out.

I jumped on his back and ran my sword down his scaly back. He yelled in pain and flung me off. He had gotten me on my bad day. We charged at each other again, he tried to fry me but I dodged and countered by attacking his leg.

'Come on Kurama, where are you?' I thought as I dodged another attack.

"Don't turn your back on me little one." He laughed as he got my arm.

I hated being called little one. "Little one?" I growled. He knocked my sword out of my hands. If I used the dragon of the darkness flame then I wouldn't have enough energy to find Kurama, get the rose, and get back. My day just wasn't turning out very well.

"I said that you both were no match for me." He said as he ran his claws down my back.

I yelled in pain as my world went black. 'Kagome, we won't make it back in time. Please my little sister, forgive me.' I thought as I passed out.

Is it just me or does this seem to be getting hopeless for them?

Well I am the one writing it so I should know.

I hope that you all like the chapter!

I know I am a little slow on updating my other stories.

Right now I am trying to finish this story up so I can concentrate on the ideas to put into it without

thinking of ten-thousand other ideas for my other stories.

Hope you all can forgive me.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or Yu-Yu-Hakusho. I do own the dragon demon though.

Please read and review!
