A/N: Okay this is the chapter that will explain everything like what's causing Hiei's spirit energy to disappear and stuff.
Chapter 7: Planning and Slaughtering
Soon the next day dawned bright and fair and Hiei watch the sun rose up sighing. Ketsueki and Chimamire both had a plan that was foolproof yet very…difficult. Lots of things could go wrong and if it did they will never have a second chance to do it.
"Now this is the plan," murmured Ketsueki. Chimamire and Hiei sat next to each other and after feeling the surges of power from Ketsueki and Chimamire Hiei felt ready for anything. "First we slaughter all the humans we can," started Ketsueki.
"Why?" said Hiei. Chimamire frowned and Ketsueki looked trouble, "Listen the only way will get into Reikai without killing ourselves and going to Reikai as a spirit is that we need to do crimes so bad that Koenma will be forced to send out Reikai Tanteis," at the word Reikai Tanteis Hiei thought of Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama chasing after him something he did not want. Ketsueki continued his explanation, "And once the Reikai Tanteis capture us we will be escort to Koenma's office and he would send us to Reikai's jail for about maybe twenty years and probably release us. Along the way to the jail we pass the Reikai Treasure Vault and that's when we kill the guards who are leading us the jail and take the blood stone and run back to Ningenkai and hide in the forest. After everything's quieted down we regain our powers give you the blood stone and you give it back to Koenma," finished Ketsueki.
"Wait if I steal the blood stone wouldn't Koenma forbid me of going near Reikai?" asked Hiei.
"Look at yourself you look nothing like the Hiei they know. Once you regain your powers you'll go back looking like your regular self and plus you can say you defeated us and that's how you got the blood stone end of story," explained Chimamire. Hiei looked thoughtful, "Yeah okay," muttered Hiei.
Hiei thought over the plan once more, they have brilliant minds that Chimamire and Ketsueki, he thought to himself. He laid back down on the ground and looked up at the blue cloudless sky and felt…guilty? Yes, he felt guilty. He trusted the enemies that they had just defeated and he abandoned his friends. But he want the power, he wanted his demon energy again. Hiei sighed and closed his eyes.
Kurama had been searching for Hiei for over three hours and he still didn't find him. He sighed and thought back to that day. "You can't tell anyone," Hiei's voice rang inside his head and Kurama sighed. He had too it was the only way he'll be able to find Hiei. Kurama walked slowly towards Reikai making his way up the pathway he saw Botan coming down the same path. Botan spotted him and rushed over to him, "Kurama what are you doing here?" she questioned softly. Kurama smiled at her, "I'm here to see Koenma and I have to tell him something. I need help…I don't know where Hiei went." Botan tilted her head to the side and laughed, "Don't be silly he's probably up in a tree concealed by that black cloak of his." Kurama frowned, "Hiei's lost his spirit energy," he finally muttered. Silence reigned for a few minutes before the message started to sink in. "Oh…Hiei's lost his spirit energy," said Botan her eyes blank then suddenly, "Oh shoot! I think I know why," she said her eyes grave.
"You know why?" said Kurama. Botan nodded her head, "Yes, on the outskirts of your city lives an old human who used to be a demon, but turned human because we punished him for his crimes. Now he's sent out a virus that's turning all demons into humans because he wants revenge on all the pure demons," muttered Botan thoughtfully. Kurama smiled and his eyes shone, "Thank you Botan!" he said happily and started sprinting back towards Ningenkai. Botan watched him for a few minutes until he disappeared from view and sighed she loved that man. Her oar materialized in her handed and she flew into Ningenkai to tell Yusuke and the others about Hiei's problem.
Ketsueki and Chimamire arrived back in the clearing to find Hiei sitting down staring at the ground boringly. "Okay it's time," muttered Ketsueki to Hiei. Hiei looked up and frowned at them Ketsueki had changed his hair color and eye color and so did Chimamire, "It's so no one recognizes us," explained Chimamire. Slowly he stood up and the three of them walked towards the city. "Okay I'll take this part of the city and you two choose whichever one's you want," said Ketsueki running off into the city with his sword held tightly in his hands. Chimamire nodded and she pointed out to the left of her, "Take that side," she muttered and vanished. Hiei smirked and unsheathed his katana soon he found himself in a bustling section of the city. Suddenly someone from behind bumped into him nearly making Hiei land on his sword. Hiei growled angrily and turned around about to slice off the human's head when he stopped there standing before him was Kurama. Kurama smiled, "Ah sorry, but I was in a hurry and don't play with sharp objects kid," he said softly and started running towards the outskirts of the city. Hiei stood there in shock not understanding what just happened, what the hell…? Why didn't Kurama recognize me unless, suddenly Chimamire's words rang in his head, "Look at yourself you look nothing like the Hiei they know." Hiei shook his head and headed back towards the city feeling guilty that now he was going to kill the humans and Kurama might be the one to stop them. Suddenly screams went up from different parts of the city and he quickly and hurriedly got to his task. Chimamire and Ketsueki had already started. He cut off the person's head that was next to him and people stared in horror as the life blood gushed out and the dead body fell to the ground bleeding on the pavement. Then everyone started screaming and running to and fro bumping into each other and falling over one another. Much to Hiei's surprise he smiled and started to laugh. What was wrong with him?
Kurama arrived in front of an old run down house and he peered cautiously inside. No one was inside and he frowned. "Looking for someone?" questioned a voice behind him. Kurama jumped and turned around finding a white haired old man. "Um yes are you the one who sent the virus?" asked Kurama as he peered at the man carefully. The man frowned and then a wicked grin lit up his face, "I see so the virus got to ya heh? Well you pure demons deserved it! You don't look so bad yourself though, but soon you'll grow old like me," he laughed.
"Um…actually no it didn't," he muttered. The man's eyes widen, "Then you're a human with spirit energy?" Kurama nodded slowly this old man didn't have to know of the other self inside him. The old man narrowed his eyes at Kurama and muttered under his breath angrily. "I was just curious as to how we can stop the process of a demon becoming a human?" he said softly pushing his luck farther. The old man laughed again, "Heh, there is no cure. No one can escape from my virus's grasp! They will just get older and older and they will never return back to their demon self." Kurama cast his eyes to the ground and sighed, "Thanks," he muttered not having the heart to kill the old man. The man watched him go and smiled as he walked back inside and laid down on his bed. Suddenly the communicator in Kurama's pocket rang and he pulled it out. "Yes?" asked Kurama as he saw Koenma's face pop up on the screen.
"Forget about Hiei for now we have a major crisis in your city!" shouted Koenma, "Three humans with spirit energy is murdering innocent humans and they're starting a riot. I already sent Yusuke and Kuwabara you have to go now and capture them, but don't kill them. Once you capture them bring them to Reikai and I'll decide their punishment there." The communicator screen went blank and Kurama tucked it into his pocket and started running back towards the city. He saw Yusuke and Kuwabara in the distance with Ketsueki and Chimamire, "Heh these two are going to jail," muttered Yusuke. Ketsueki growled at him and turned away from them. Kurama frowned for they seemed very familiar. "Kurama could you get the last one?" asked Kuwabara as he was struggling to hold onto Chimamire. Kurama nodded, "Sure thing, Kuwabara." He ran into the city looking for someone and using his senses to find any trace of spirit energy. Strangely he felt none and finally off in the distance he spotted a long black haired man slicing people with his katana. Kurama growled softly and ran after the man slowly he snuck up behind him and grabbed him from behind. "Agh! Stupid bastard!" shouted the man as he struggled free. Finally the man was able to get a look at Kurama. He instantly stopped struggling and his eyes widen with an unknown emotion. Kurama took the katana from the man and led him back towards Yusuke and Kuwabara. "I got him," said Kurama. Yusuke nodded and they all headed towards Reikai. When no one was looking Ketsueki winked at Chimamire and Hiei.
