Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho.

Hiei burst into Koenma's office angrily startling the young lord. "Is there a problem?" Koenma sputtered revealing himself from under the desk.

"Where is everyone?" Hiei questioned.

"They went to get your daughter back, thinking that you were too preoccupied with your feelings..." Koenma explained.

"What, how dare they! They know that they can't do this without me!" He shouted once again grasping the young lord's collar.

"Not this again...Listen I didn't tell them to go! Please don't take your anger out on me!" Koenma angrily shouted.

Keiko quickly walked towards the two her footsteps echoing through the room. "Hiei..." She whispered as she placed a small hand on his shoulder.

He quickly relaxed letting Koenma go. "So they headed off already? Guess I have to follow them don't I?" He mumbled placing a hand on his sword.

"Don't you mean we!?" Keiko cried tightening her grip on his shoulder. Hiei quickly turned to face her and gave her a true smile.

"I don't need you to get in this mess..." He whispered striking her softly in the stomach. Keiko gasped as she fell into his arms.

"Take care of her Koenma..." He ordered as Koenma jumped out of his chair. "Put her here. And go do your job..."

He placed her in the chair and kissed her softly on her forehead. "I know I said that we were both going to get her together. But Keiko, I can't risk you too."

With that said the fire demon quickly sped off.

"Helpless fool..." Koenma sadly muttered as he turned to see the sleeping Keiko.

The others were currently in a forest walking to the east. Kuwabara was ahead of the two trying to sniff out some energy. In other words he looked like a hound dog on all fours. ( I just love Kuwabara, he's so funny!)

"What the hell is your problem Kuwabara!" Yusuke shouted. Kuwabara was currently making a face as he waved his arms around. "I can't catch any spiritual energy you guys!" He shouted.

"Of course you can't. We aren't messing with an ordinary demon..." The fox stated walking ahead of the two.

The trees blew wildly with the wind, taunting their visitors.

"This is a pretty creepy place..." Kuwabara stated as shivers ran down his spine.

"Scared..." Yusuke teased. "Shut up Urameshi!"

"Would you two be silent for once...I hear something..." Kurama whispered looking around.

"What is it?" They both asked dumbfounded.

"A messenger..." A voice giggled flowing with the wind. The team looked around desperately, trying to find the owner of the voice.

"Who are you little girl, and where the hell are you hiding...!" Yusuke shouted glaring at nothing but the haunting wind.

The wind blew harshly against them blowing them aside. Kurama avoided that strike and looked at a certain tree. Quickly getting his rosewhip out he swiped at sending birds off into the sky.

The same giggle was heard again. "Sorry mister but that was wrong..."

"This isn't a game little girl so come out. We won't hurt you!" Kuwabara shouted.

"But sir I believe this is a game...and you just lost one chance! Two more to go..." She laughed.

"What kind of sick game is this..." Yusuke whispered standing his ground.

"It's not sick game...it's hide and go seek. Now try to find me again..."

Shadows appeared in front of the three trapping them in a zone of darkness. "Ring around the rosies...pockets full of posies..."

"What's that...who's singing that!" Kuwabara whispered.

"Ashes...Ashes..."

"Show yourself!" Yusuke shouted tired of the sick game that frustrated the hell out of him.

" YOU all fall down!" She finished as the ground started crumbling sucking in the three confused boys.

They landed in a meadow full of flowers, birds chirping, and butterflies flying allover the place.

"What the fu–"

"Yusuke shut up, can you hear that?" Kurama asked.

Kuwabara squinted his eyes following the sound. "Those seem to be kids..." He grumbled getting up from the fall.

"Ring around the rosies, pockets full of posies, ashes, ashes, we all fall down..."

"It's that song again! I can't stand it. As soon as I find the person who's singing this I'll rip out their vocal chords and..."

"Yusuke this in no time for threats, they're just a bunch of little children..." Kurama explained in a hush tone. He pointed at a few children in the distance who were holding hands and spinning in a circle, happily singing the song.

They walked over to them as the children stopped and ran away frightened. A little girl appeared in the center of once was a circle of children and smiled at them.

"Are you the little girl that took us here?" Kurama asked kindly.

Zi took a curtsey and laughed. "Why sir I do believe I did..."

"Why were you singing that damn song!" Yusuke asked, anxious to hear the answer. In truth that song and her tone of voice was really starting to creep him out.

"Oh it's one of my favorite songs..." She giggled curling one of her hairs.

"And why is that...?" Kurama asked making small talk with the young girl.

"Oh sir it contains such a marvelous story!"

Kuwabara stared at the girl peculiarly and asked what was plaguing everyone's mind. "What story?"

"OH...it's about one of the black plagues, such a wonderful story. The victims would get circles around their eyes representing the phrase, ring around the rosies. And the coughing up of dried blood from the lungs, are the ashes, since it looked like ashes. The pocket full of posies was a belief that posies held some cure for the evil plague. That carrying one around would save them...how foolish. And finally the last line tells of everyone fallen down, to there unavoidable deaths..." She smiled.

The three stared at her with disgust as they saw here evil smile.

"What the hell...she's crazy..." Yusuke said freaked out. "Tell me about it..."

"Now little girl tell us on why you have led us here?" Kurama asked walking to the girl. "Oh sir I thought that you would know the answer to that question. To kill you..."

"Where the hell are they?" Hiei whispered running through the forest. A dark wave of energy stopped him. "This feels wrong...I can feel them here but then again I can't..."

His eyes darted everywhere trying to find his fellow companions. "Those fools leaving without me. They couldn't find there way out of a paper bag...well Kurama probably. But the other two are hopeless..." He sighed. Her finally spotted their bodies on the ground and quickly rushed over to them. "Hey are you idiots...sleeping!"

Keiko slowly awoke a pain growing in her stomach. "What happened..." She yawned grasping here stomach in pain. "Hiei took off, and left you here for your protection..."

"What!"

"Keiko, don't get so angry. He knows what's best..."

Keiko glared at Koenma and only smiled. "I guess so. But then why do I feel so worried...?"

"Because you love him..."

Okay! I'll end it there! I so hope you people will enjoy it! I hope it wasn't too short! Oh and I got the history of the rhyme from www. simpletoremember. com
