Chapter 13:

"Hurry up you slow assed punk!" Lee scolds Kuwabara. He hangs off the side of the mountain with the rest of the Rekai Tantei on the very top. Eventually, he gets his lazy ass up the mountain and they enter stealthily. They walk into a maze of hallways.

"Great…" Hiei admits, "Now what?"

"Kuwabara?" Kurama asks. Kuwabara nods. He does his little sensing thing. He points to the far left hallway. IN THEY GO! They pass many chambers until Yusuke spots Ailias chained to the wall in one chamber.

"AILIAS!" He cries out. They all turn to see a very bloody Ailias passed out. Hiei melts the bars. Lee rushes in.

"NEE-SAN!" Kuwabara makes an awkward face.

"Uh… how do we wake her up?"

"Lets use Lee's tail to make her sneeze," Hiei says sarcastically. Lee bends over and begins to shake her tail in Ailias's face. "Uh… I was just kidding." Ailias sneezes then coughs up blood. Lee freaks out.

"Nee-San! ARE YOU OK!"

"SHH!" Ailias scolds. "I'm fine Kit. What are you doing here?"

"We're saving you?" Kurama says. Hiei melts the chains. Kurama bends down to examine the woman's wounds. ALL OF THEM! "You seem to have been in a fight with a pin cushion."

"Don't mock me fox boy."

"Well lets fix you." After about a half an hour of bandaging Ailias, they exit her chamber. You can barely recognize Ailias with all the bandages.

"And where do you think you're going?" says a voice from behind.

"Atani!" Ailias yells, turning to see the ningen.

"Well, don't you look all nice and purty."

"WHY MUST EVERYONE MOCK ME!"

"Cause you're easily mocked." Ailias lunges forward to strike her, but Kurama grabs her and pulls her back.

"LET GO KURAMA!"

"No way! You can become permanently injured!" He scolds her.

"I believe that is up to me to decide!"

"I'm not going to let you hurt your self!"

"My body, my rules! Now let go!"

"Aw. How sweet. But, I don't think you can hold her back red head." Atani comments.

"What?" Atani sends a spirit disk, called a Spirit Disk, at Kurama, throwing him backwards. Ailias goes with him. They both got nailed in the stomach. Hunching over, they try to catch their breath.

"Next?" Atani says with a smirk. Hiei and Lee charge her with their swords out. Hiei acts like he's going to attack her from the right, so she blocks there, allowing Lee to slash her across the chest. Atani flies backwards.

"Next?" Lee repeats. Atani glares at the two small people, wiping blood from her lip.

"Damn you, KITSUNE!" She tackles Lee, trying to bite her neck.

"A bit childish, don't cha think?" Lee criticizes, throwing Atani off of her. Hiei throws Lee's duel swords to her and prepares for another attack.

"You won't get me with another one of those fake attacks!" They jump over her and slice her body in two, blood spitting everywhere. Hiei and Lee are covered with it.

"Shall we be going?" Hiei asks.

"You're not leaving…" Atani's voice tells them. They look at the blood spill as a body forms out of the pool. The Rekai Tantei all gasp.

"HOW!" Ailias shrieks. Atani is now fully reformed.

"How? That's not the question. It's 'When are you going to realize that you're not leaving here?'" She draws an extremely large sword from her own body. She charges at Hiei and knocks him into a wall. She turns to Lee, towering over the Shadow fox.

"You must be Lee." She says with an unnerving smile spread across her features.

"What of it?" Lee backs up. Atani raises her sword and begins to swing down on Lee, but Ailias turns into her tiger form and bites Atani's hand off.

"That's alright. I'll just grow another one." Kurama transforms into his demon form.

"Your first mistake if you choose to make it," He threatens her. He flicks his hand for no apparent reason.

"I do." She grows back another hand and picks up her sword. She points it towards Youko Kurama. "You'll be first fox boy!"

"Where have I heard this before?" As she charges him, Youko puts out his hand and begins chanting.

"Praying? Even prayer won't- AH!" She suddenly stops. She looks at her regrown. Roots pierce through her wrist, blood spurting. The roots grow up her arm and to her neck. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" She screams. She drops her sword. The roots wrap them selves around her neck and tighten. Atani gasps for air, turning blue. The root tighten them selves more until Atani's golden eyes become pale, white. Her body falls limp on the floor. Kuwabara and Yusuke have been extremely quiet haven't they? Well, they were going gaga over how hott they thought Atani was, but they still know she died. Yusuke comes to after his 'Hott Girl' coma.

"That's kinda a cruel way to kill someone. With a plant."

"How'd you do that?" Kuwabara asks with interest.

"Who cares how he did it," Lee explains, "Just be glad he did and lets be going. Somebody, wake up Hiei." Ailias limped over to Kurama as Yusuke started to try many random ways of waking Hiei. Such as: Slapping him in the face, using Kuwabara's shoe, burping in his face, using Lee's tail, shaking pepper on his nose, (don't ask where he got the pepper), putting hot sauce on his tongue, (or the hot sauce), and many other ways.

"Suuichi told you," Youko teased. Ailias growled and transformed back into her demon form.

" 'Suuichi' can shove it," She said faintly as she lost her balance and Youko caught her in one arm.

"Stubborn woman," He muttered. They walk out of the chambers only to be greeted by a horde of demons…
