Chapter 5:
"I hate this…" Yusuke complained. Lee circled around him like a kitten.
"Hate what?" Lee started.
"This."
"This what?"
"This mission!"
"What mission?"
"This one!"
"One what?"
"The mission we're on!"
"Who's we?"
"US!"
"Us who?"
"You, me, Kuwabara, Kurama, Hiei, and Ailias!"
"And what are we doing?"
"We're on a mission!"
"What mission?"
"Kurama! SAVE ME!"
"I can't…" Kurama said while twitching.
"WHY? Is she annoying you too?"
"No, not Lee… Ailias keeps on saying that I'm doing it wrong!"
"Doing what wrong?"
"I. Don't. Know…"
"Hey Lee," Ailias said with a chuckle. "The baka keeps on saying, 'I don't know." It's kind of scaring me…"
"I think you're scaring him!"
"OH, good. I thought I was doing it wrong!" Kurama tries to hang himself. "Hey fox boy… You're doing it wrong."
"I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" Yusuke yells.
"Can't take what?" Lee asks innocently, behind him suddenly.
"Good Lord! They're EVERYWHERE!" Kuwabara yells, running into a tree. Hiei was beside the tree, rocking back and forth while clutching his sword like a stuffed animal.
"It's OK." His eye twitches. "It'll be OK… Just stay by Kuwabaka and everything will be OK. He, He's one of them!"
"Oh pipe down sparky! I think those demons we were after are heading this way!"
"YEAH!" Lee agreed. "You guys… act like you're dead."
"Will you leave us alone?" Yusuke asked hopefully.
"It'd be kinda weird if we tortured dead guys… so… YEAH!" Ailias snapped at him. They all collapsed. Lee had some last minute fun. She snatched Hiei's sword and threw it across the path way they were walking on and growled when he tried to retrieve it. She made Kuwabara into a human pretzel, and threw Yusuke in the bushes. Kurama was fine the way he was, hung up to the tree looking as if he'd been hung. He was still trying… How sad. Ailias and Lee looked at their handiwork as the unknowing demons appeared.
"THE REKAI TANTEI!" One of the demons shouted. "They're… The Rekai Tantei is…"
"Dead." Ailias finished for him. "The little one and I took them down."
"Wow. It's S class demons like you that make me proud to be living here in Makai." Another spoke.
"And it's worthless D class demons like you who can't see the difference from a trail of aura, and an aura it's self!" Lee scolded. Before the demons understood what had happened, Lee and Ailias sent their all mighty powerful wave thingy, KO-ing the dirty… criminals.
"Kay, you guys can wake up now. Nice acting!" The guys begin to move, except for Kurama. He has KO-ed himself with his attempt at suicide.
"Oh Bloody Hell!" Ailias yelled. She cut him loose and flung him over her shoulder with some other demon under her arm. Yusuke and Kuwabara grab one demon each.
"Are we ready then?" Yusuke checked. Everyone nodded… well, except for the unconscious Kurama and Hiei who was across the pathway steaming like a teapot because Lee touched his katana. "Lets get gone!" They walk through a portal Hiei had created, leading back to Spirit World.
A Week Later:
"Go to bed!" Ailias scolded Lee.
"But I'm not tired."
"Don't make me send for Hiei!" Lee scrambled into her soft, cozy, Hiei free bed. This entire week, Hiei has beaten her to a pulp during training when she wasn't allowed to use her special KO wave. Ailias decided to mock her. Lee turned away from Ailias so she couldn't see the tears forming under her eyes. Ailias sat down next to her.
"Hey… it's OK…"
"An S class demon should never be defeated by a mere B class!"
"He's a master swordsman. You vary with all kinds of techniques. If it were fist combat, you'd kick the tar out of his Gothic ass."
"Can I stay up for 3 more hours if I say that made me feel better?"
"No." Ailias tucks Lee in and enters the main part of their den, to see a very pissed off Hiei standing in the entry way.
"Can I help you Dark Lord?" Ailias mocked.
"Hn."
"What cha here for? Imouto is asleep."
"You confuse me…"
"Why? Is it my radiant beauty? Do I keep you up at night because you fantasize about me in your dreams? OH! Hiei! You're way out of your league."
"When you're done making a fool of yourself, I'll talk."
"Then speak, or forever rest in peace."
"Why did you turn your self in?"
"Because we were done."
"Done what?" Ailias leans against the wall of her den.
"Wouldn't you like to know."
"Don't play with me onna."
"Oh getting feisty are we?"
"What were you done with? It doesn't seem to me like you were tired of killing. Sick of the blood rusted on your hands! No! I think you enjoy a good kill!"
"As do you…"
"What are you done with?"
"Revenge. Now leave."
"Revenge on who?"
"Hn."
"Answer me!"
"Leave! You'll wake the little one!" And with that, Hiei turned to leave. He'd rather not deal with both of their moody selves. He'll ask Lee at training in the morning. Ailias walked to the den's entrance and watched as Hiei left the woods. Once he was no longer visible, she turned in the sack, resting beside Lee. She watched Lee toss and turn in her sleep with a smile. Eventually, Lee cuddled into Ailias and Ailias fell into sleep.
