Hi everyone I'm back. I have an excuse for not updating in a while. I was out of state. I would like to thank those that reviewed. (Come on I know more of you read this story than that lol.) Anyway I hope you enjoy this chapter; more of who likes who will be revealed and I might be putting more stories up. Most likely cross overs with other movies. Any way I'll shut up now so ya'll can read the fic. Oh yeah I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho or the movies that crossed over into this fic. Just my character and the whacked up idea to combine the two stories.

CHAPTER FIVE WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON

Kurama checked Hiei's neck for a pulse and breathed out a sigh of relieve. "He's alive." The whole group seemed to have been holding they're breath. "We need to get to a safe place." Yusuke nodded but where. There were probably twenty or more of those damned mutant snakes around; plus this was rain forest. They had more than the mutant snakes to worry about. Like head hunters, other demons, and the regular deadly creatures that lived there. "Kuwabara can you carry him?" Kuwabara nodded his head. Keeda moved so he could pick him up. Kuwabara bent down and picked Hiei. He was limp and cold to the touch. He didn't have his cloak on him and the bandages he normally wore on his right arm were gone. He'd definitely been in a battle.

"Where can we go?" Botan asked. She had a point, like there was any where to get out of the rain that was safe enough to stay until Hiei woke up. They heard hissing. No, not now; not when they're cornered. "Hurry up we can't just stand here!" Botan hissed at them.

"What about a cave, sometimes they're caves behind waterfalls and this place has plenty of water falls?" Yusuke asked.

Kurama shook his head, "The snakes would use it as a nest." Yusuke let out an annoyed growl. This was getting him highly pissed off. Keeda looked around, she knew the snakes were coming and fast. They needed an escape route if they weren't gone by the time the snakes got to them. Then she got an idea.

"Kurnue come with me for a minute," she said as black bat wings came out of her back, they looked just like his. They flew up through the trees and out of sight.

"They better not be hauling ass," Yusuke said.

Kurama shook his head calmly, "No they wouldn't do that. I think they're looking for a safe place from up there. Many tribes live in this forest. It is possible if luck is on our side that they could spot an abandon village from up there."

"Well lets hope they do. Cause if they don't we're in some deep shit." Kurama silently agreed with him.

Botan looked at Hiei with worry; it looked like he wasn't even breathing. Did the snakes attack him? Were the snakes really why Koenma sent them out here? Or were they just guarding whatever was really killing the humans off? What was odd was that she hadn't sensed a single demon since she got here. (A/N: one of few talents she actually has.) Well except Keeda and Kurnue. To tell the truth she didn't exactly like Keeda. 'She seems like a traitor to me.' 'Or maybe it's because you think she likes him.' A voice said inside her head. She tried to push the thought out of her mind. That was the least of her problems right now.

Meanwhile up in the air Kurnue and Keeda were having one hell of a time trying to find a safe place to stay. Everything seemed to have a grey shadow cast on it. "Damn rain; I swear sometimes I hate nature!" she muttered. Kurnue gave a small chuckle. It amused him to see her pissed off. "Shut up bat for brains! Damn it; I can't see a damn thing!"

"Then why don't you use that gifted eye of yours. It's gotta be good for something."

"Well, as long at those two baka detectives don't notice." A few minutes, "Found it! It's about a twenty minute walk though across the river we're at and it's up in the trees. Perfect place."

"Ok smart ass how are we supposed to get midget up there?" Keeda simply tapped her head with her index finger. "Oh yeah I forgot about that." She rolled her eyes and mumbled something that sounded like idiot. She flipped over backwards and dived back down. Kurnue followed her.

"Did you find a place?" Yusuke asked as they came back down. Keeda nodded and told him about it as her wings disappeared, seemingly to melt into her back. "Sounds good; now lets get our asses in gear. We don't really know how bad off he is." The others nodded and followed him and Kurama. They ran a little the whole way there. Kuwabara couldn't really run for fear of hurting Hiei more than he already was but they had to get there quickly. They reached the bottom of a huge tree, when they looked up they saw a hut that had been built around the trunk of the tree what must've been a hundred feet up.

"How the hell are we supposed to get up there! I mean obviously the two bat brains can fly but…"

"Yusuke shut up," Kurama said. He walked towards the base of the tree. Vines sprouted from the ground and went up the tree and Kurama started climbing them.

"Keeda are you going to…" Kurnue started whispering to her when she interrupted.

"No, I'll just carry him up there." She walked to Kuwabara, "Kuwabara let me see him; I'll fly him up there." Kuwabara was surprised at the tone in her voice, instead of the arrogant, smart ass; mess with me you die tone it was sweet and innocent sounding; which she clearing was anything but.

"You sure, I mean for a shrimp he's kinda heavy."

"I can carry him." Kuwabara handed him to her. Her wings cam back out and she and Kurnue flew up to the landing around the hut. Once everyone was inside they took a look around. The place had been deserted for a long time. There were three benches with a cloth on them; no doubt a head hunter's version of a bed. Keeda laid Hiei on one of the benches. She looked around some more, there was a small table and about four chairs scattered about.

Botan and Kurama both grabbed a chair and pulled them up next to Hiei. "Did any body bring any bottled water?" Botan asked. They all shook their heads no.

"Botan this is a rain forest; hence the word rain, the water's good enough to drink so we didn't bring any," Yusuke said.

Kurama pulled out a small bottle with neon blue liquid in it out if his back pack. Botan pulled out a first aid kit out of hers. "Do you have enough power to heal him?" Kurama asked.

"Not all the way, but enough to where he can defend himself if need be. But I'd advise that he didn't. Those wounds on his chest are really deep." She put her hands about an inch over his chest. Yellow light started coming off of her hands. After a few seconds she quit with a look of shock and worry.

"Botan what's wrong?" Kuwabara asked.

"I can't….I can't heal him."

"Why the hell not!" Yusuke yelled.

"The only way that could happen is if he'd been poison."

"Hold up; you don't mean to tell me that those giant slithering hand bags have venom. I thought the only thing that could get that big would be like an Anaconda," Yusuke all but yelled.

"The one that attacked the boat wasn't an Anaconda it was a python, as of what kind I don't know," Keeda said.

"And just how the hell would you know that?" Yusuke asked relatively calm compared to what he just said.

"I used to have a couple back in Makai."

Yusuke slapped his forehead, "You mean to tell me that those giant snakes are pythons that are venomous?" No one answered him. They didn't know. All they knew was that needed to get out of this hell hole. But how?

"Kurama, can you give him an antidote?" Yusuke asked.

Kurama shook his head, "Not without knowing what type of poison it was other wise it could make him worse." Yusuke sighed, he walked to the door and watched the rain come down, the hut had no actual door. He had to get his team out of here, it was his responsibility; it was his responsibility if some one died too. Yeah right, how the hell could he do that when he didn't really know what the hell they were up against? Giant snakes, no mutant snakes; well whatever the hell they were they'd be dead by the time they left. He'd get his team out of there no matter what. He just had to figure out how.

"Do what you two can for him. We'll stay here till morning. Kuwabara get a hold of Koenma. I'm gonna get that toddler's ass when we get out of here." Oh yeah, he was pissed. Kurama took two pieces of cloth and wet them with rain water as Botan took Hiei's shirt off. He gave one to Botan and helped her wipe the blood off Hiei. He then took another rag and dumped some of the liquid onto it and wiped it on the wounds.

"What's that do?" Botan asked she was getting the bandages out.

"It'll keep his wounds from getting infected."

Kurama lifted him into a sitting position so Botan could wrap his wounds. She put a small patch on the gash on his head. "Ok, um he's good," Botan said. She sounded like she was about to cry.

Kuwabara was trying to get through to Koenma. He finally got through and Yusuke took the Communication Mirror from him. He used cursed words that none of them had ever heard while he was cussing Koenma out. "And I thought Keeda was bad," Kurnue muttered.

"Just what the hell are we really after Koenma because something tells me you knew damn well what was killing them people off!"

"Yusuke I swear I didn't know," Koenma said calmly; too calmly, that's it he was definitely lying.

"Let me explain something to you diaper boy. Thanks to you one of my friends is almost dead!"

"What?"

"Yeah; you know Hiei, the one you sent out here on his own." There was silence between them. Then Yusuke said, "You wanna tell me what you know now?"

Koenma sighed, "All right, I knew what you guys were up against. But I knew you wouldn't go unless one of you had already went after them. Hiei was the one that came to me about the demon. He'd fought the demon before and knew what he was after."

"Which would be what?"

"Human women with sixth sense. This demon had picked up the scent of Shizuro and Botan. Hiei went and spied on one of their meetings. It was done in the warehouse where you and Hiei fought. The leader along with six other demons were down there. They were talking about Shizuro and Botan when another one of his followers said that there were two other young girls that were normally around them. That being Yukina and Keiko. Keiko has developed a small sixth sense since learning about the existence of demons. They wanted Yukina for her tear gems naturally."

"But why did you send him on his own!" Botan practically screeched.

"Hiei didn't want to wait for the others, Kurama was checking on something for me at the time and Yusuke and Kuwabara were training with Genkai. He said he'd either leave and keep me informed or leave and I could figure it out for myself. I knew if he went then I could send the rest of you when you were done training. But he disappeared."

"And why the hell didn't you just tell us!" Kuwabara yelled.

"Because I knew you would've just kept an eye on the girls the demons would've came and there would've been a full scale war in your town. Hundred of humans would've died."

"Well you screwed up big time. Because if he dies, more people will die because we will have one less fighter."

"That's the least of your worries. Two on Rei Kai's most wanted list have escaped from Makai. They've taken human life before and may do so again."

"I don't really care; I just wanna get my team out of here. Now what do you know about the demons and snakes?"

"Nothing, Hiei knows though. You'll have to ask him."

"Well I can't do that since he's unconscious!"

Koenma let out an annoyed growl, "When he wakes up call me back if he's not up in a couple of hours call me anyway. We need to discuss your next case." With that the screen shut off.

"What the hell did we get into?" Yusuke wondered aloud.

Well what did you think? I tried to make it a little longer since I hadn't updated in a while. If got any questions write them in your review and I'll answer them (if I can; which would be bad if I couldn't). If you have any suggestions you can put them in there as well. Funny thing Sci Fi's having a snake movie marathon while I type this. Oh yeah if you're wondering about the poison think about the Python movies and the "poison" they used. Got it? If you guessed right then yeah I am mean. Sayanora and Review
