Ok, thank you for the reviews and suggestions. I am updating sooner than I thought 'cause I'm baby-sitting… again. Has anyone else notice I suck at babysitting 'cause I never watch them? Hn, it's just my brothers and sisters. Also we found our hamster Eddie (he got out last night) and now she is in the wall and is stuck. My plan is to have it crawl up some chicken wire or something. Well wish me luck, if it doesn't work it will die. And I was just starting to like it. I'm the only one that it didn't bite.
Hiei POV
''Thoughts
"" Talking
I stood in front of Yukina, watching Quizzical every move. As long as he was here I wouldn't let him come near her. Nothing much was going on at the moment. Quizzical was looking very proud of himself, seeing that now he was in control. For now, that is. All I have to do is get this stupid collar off. I reached back when he wasn't looking to try to get it off. "I wouldn't try that if I was you," he warned me smugly. "You don't want anything to happen to your-"
I cut him off before he could say sister. How in the hell did he know that? He turned to me and smiled. "How did I know? I know everything about you."
"What is he talking about?" Yukina asked timidly from behind me. She looked scared.
"Nothing. He's just a moron," I said trying to reassure her. She smiled a little. I turned back to Quizzical. "Besides," I said to him. "You wouldn't do anything to her."
His smile faded, and then appeared again. He flicked his outward in my direction. Yukina yelped from behind me. "Really? Are you that sure?"
"What in the hell did you do?" I asked enraged. I knelt down so I could see her face. I tried to catch her crystallizing tears as they fell. She looked all right. Just a few scratches on her face. "You'll pay with your blood for this." He laughed. "Give me those," he said holding out his hands. I gave him 'What the fuck are you talking about look'. "Those." He motioned to my pocket. Oh the tear gems. Why didn't he just say that and saved us some time. "Or do I have to get them myself?" I handed them over to him. "These could be of use to me later."
He didn't say much after that, just stared. I was trying to make Yukina feel safer. "I'll be gone for awhile," he said going to the door. "I'll have this locked. Don't think about leaving." I waited for him to leave.
"I'm going to get us out of here Yukina," I said.
"But what if he comes back?"
"Don't worry. We'll be back before he even comes." I went over to examine the lock. Since this stupid warded collar was on, this takes longer. I stared to play around with it. "Do you need any help?" a voice said from behind me. It was Yukina. "No," I answered. "He could have done something to it. You should stay back just to make sure." She nodded and stood a few feet behind me. 'Come on you stupid lock,' I told it mentally. 'Open up already.' I looked around. 'There has to be something I can use.'
There wasn't anything really there. All that I found that could work was a knife. I jammed it into the keyhole and twisted it left. I heard the lock clink. 'Great,' I thought. I motioned for Yukina to come over. I walked out side first to make sure it was ok. The sun hurt my eyes at first since I was used to the darkness. Yukina took a hold of my hand. It made me flinch. "Is it ok?" she asked whispering to me. I nodded. "Let's go." We were five steps out when we were stopped by a familiar laugh.
"I thought that you would try that little one," he said.
'God damn it!' I thought. Quizzical was really starting to annoy me.
"Actually, you went faster than I thought you would. Still did you really think that I was stupid enough to leave that poor of a lock with you here?" he asked.
"Yes."
He frowned. "You aren't getting away."
"Then just let Yukina go," I told him, stepping in front of her.
He laughed harshly again. "Sorry, no. She knows too much now." Quizzical suddenly stopped laughing. He grabbed my throat with one hand, and used the other to drag Yukina in. "You little bastard, don't think you can escape me. I know all of your moves. I know everything about you." Or noses were almost touching. He looked really pissed off.
I closed my eyes as I started to slip from conciseness. I heard him give a high yelp, and dropped me to the ground. I opened my eyes again. Yukina kicked him in the shin, and now he was jumping up and down, howling in pain. Yukina pulled me up. "You little bitch," Quizzical hissed. Yukina and I took off. We hadn't got far when I felt a shock go through my body. I fell to my knees in a lot of pain. "Hiei!" Yukina screamed, trying to help me up. But every time I got to my feet I was shocked again. "I told you that you wouldn't get away," Quizzical said smuggling. He was holding some kind of remote.
"What are you doing to him?" Yukina asked tearfully.
"See that collar? Not only is it warded; it's also a shock collar. And guess who has the button that makes it work? Me!" he stared to laugh again. "What will it take for you to give it to me?" Yukina asked. He stopped laughing. "What?" he asked her.
"Yukina, don't," I whispered to her. "I'll be fine."
She ignored me. "What will I have to give you to get it?"
He smiled his devilish smile. "So you want to bargain over his freedom? What are you willing to give?"
"Me."
'God Yukina!' What is she thinking? "Yukina don't. I'll be fine. I can find a way to get out of this, I whispered to her. Quizzical smiled. "Nope, sorry. I was just trying to see how far you would go. I want him. Not you. You were only the perfect bait to get him." He laughed more. "This is so much fun." He grabbed Yukina's arm, and picked me up. The shocks took away too much of my energy so I didn't feel like fighting back. Yukina was struggling as hard as she could too get us away, but Quizzical was a lot stronger that her. He threw us onto the floor. "Let the fun and games begin," he said.
With the others
(Kurama's group)
Kurama, Keiko, and Botan had joined the search now. And they were having much luck. "I lost Hiei's ki signal some where around here," Kurama said. They had split into two groups. Kurama, Botan, and Genki were in a group. And Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Keiko were in the other.
"Should I fly over head and see if I can get a better look from there?" Botan suggested. Kurama nodded. She took out her ore and flew up so she could get a bird's eye view. Kurama was worried and wanted to find Hiei and Yukina as soon as possible. He didn't want them to get hurt. "I wonder if they're ok," Kurama thought out loud.
"They should be fine," Genki said, "Yukina has Hiei to protect her." But she wasn't even sure if that was true. Then who would protect Hiei? Kurama smiled a little. He knew that Hiei would never let Yukina down. Maybe they were all right. Maybe they were just out for a walk.
With Yusuke's Group
"Hiei! Yukina!" Yusuke yelled, cupping his hands.
"Yukina my love! Shrimp!" Kuwabara called.
"You know Kuwabara," Keiko started to say. "I don't think calling Hiei shrimp will make him come."
"Of course it will," Yusuke said. "He will come to kill Kuwabara. Yukina! Hiei!"
"Yukina! Where are you? Shorty, come out already!" Kuwabara yelled. He imagined in his mind Hiei coming from a tree saying 'What do you want baka?' But he never did come. There was no sign of either of them.
"So where do you think they are?" Keiko asked.
"Don't know," Yusuke said.
"The shrimp better not be trying to do anything to Yukina," Kuwabara said. Yusuke made a face. 'Only if he knew that they were brother and sister, he wouldn't be thinking that. That's just twisted,' Yusuke thought.
"I hope we find them soon," Keiko said. "Especially before it gets dark." Yusuke nodded. "I'm sure they would be heading back to the temple before then." 'Hiei, Yukina where the hell are you guys?'
That's all I can right for now. I have to send a letter, and find a way to get Eddie out. We might have to saw it out, but the hole is so small it might hit her. Poor Eddie. I am still taking suggestions. Any one got any? I will most likely to be able to post more this week, but not the week after that 'cause I am going to South Dakota. Eight whole fucking hours of driving with six other people just to see rocks. Not fun. Ja ne.
