It had been hours since the fighters had arrived in Makai and nightfall had come. "Hiei, I think we should stop. If we go straight there we won't have any strength to fight. And besides, everyone is tired." Kurama said walking beside Hiei. "I'm not." Hiei replied gruffly. "Hiei, come on man. We need to get some sleep." Yusuke replied. "I mean look at Botan." Yusuke said pointing up. Botan was lying down on her oar, sleeping. (o.o; How'd she do that?) Hiei's brow slanted in frustration and he walked over to the nearest tree. He hopped onto a branch and leaned against its trunk. "Fine then. Rest while you can." Hiei said closing his eyes.
Yusuke sighed with relief and looked up at Botan. "Hey! Botan!" He hollered. Botan sprung awake and looked down at Yusuke. "Get down here! We're taking a break!" Botan immediately flew downward and her oar vanished. "Thank goodness. I'm absolutely exhausted!" She said plopping down on the ground. Kurama walked over to a large rock and leaned against it. Yusuke looked over to Kuwabara who had fallen asleep standing up. "Hey. Hey!" Yusuke said pushing Kuwabara over. Kuwabara landed flat on his back, but continued to sleep. "Just leave Yusuke, he'll be fine." Kurama said closing his own eyes.
"I guess." Yusuke said lying down and stretching his limbs. He placed his arms behind his head and fell asleep.
Castle-------- Kage/ Kyota--------
"Isn't the boss supposed to be coming down here to check?" Kyota asked quietly. "Yeah." Kage replied. "What are we gonna tell him about the girl's Jagan? Do you think he knows?" "I don't know. We just tell him what happened." "We can't! Then he'll know that I made her cry!" "It's your own fault." "KAGE! KYOTA!" A voice rang out through the dungeon walls. Kage and Kyota immediately came to attention, Kage remaining calm and Kyota slightly worried. "How's the girl?" A figure asked stepping into the shadows. "She's fine! Absolutely fine!" Kyota replied. Kage glanced over to his brother and rolled his eyes. "Master, did you know that this child has a Jagan?" Kage asked. "What!" The figure hollered, walking over to the door. He looked through the bars of Hina's door. He saw the small red eye on her forehead and the damaged wall. "Dammit!" He muttered loudly.
He turned around to the two brothers behind him. Do not let her out of that cell! No matter what! If Hiei finds her signal, then her power might increase!" Kage and Kyota nodded, showing they understood. The figure turned and walked away. "This damn child is not making my job any easier!" He muttered. "You're the one who wanted the kid." Kyota muttered. "What!" The figure hollered. "Nothing!" Kyota said quickly. The figure continued to walk away angrily, until he was gone altogether. Then, Kodoku appeared. "Something wrong master?" "Quiet! Send someone over to Hiei! Tell them to kill everyone!" "Yes master." Kodoku replied vanishing the next second.
Hiei----------
It had been a few hours since the gang had fallen asleep, it was even still dark out, and everything was quiet. Some cloaked figures were slinking around, sneaking up to the gang. There were three in all, all of them carrying daggers. One of them snuck up to Botan who was lying on the ground fast asleep. The cloaked demon raised the dagger ready to strike. "Move and you die." A voice said behind him. The demon froze as it felt a sword on its back. Hiei was awake and pushed the sword through the demon, killing it instantly. Hiei threw the body over by the other two demons waiting fort their next move. The other two demons charged at Hiei silently, daggers ready. Hiei's Jagan glowed and the demons suddenly froze. Their eyes were wild and one began quivering, hold its head. Suddenly, the demon was still and its eyes were white. Hiei's Jagan stopped glowing and the demon's body fell to the ground. The other demon stood there shaking from fright.
Hiei walked over to the other demon and pulled him up by the collar of his cloak. "Tell your master that I'm coming. And that his life is mine." Hiei said his eyes narrowed. The demon nodded and began to run. Hiei saw a dagger by the dead demon and picked it up. He threw it into the cloaked demons arm. The demon let out a cry of pain and held its arm. "And tell him, if he hurts Hina, the pain you're in now is what he'll be in a hundred-fold. If he hurts Hina, I'll destroy his soul along with his body." Hiei said quietly. The demon staggered holding its arm, and began running again.
Hiei walked over to the others and sat down for a moment. "Are we going to continue now?" Hiei looked over to Kurama who was wide awake. "Yes. Hurry up fox. I'm not dawdling." Kurama sighed and stood up he walked over to Kuwabara and shook him awake. "What's the deal Kurama?" Kuwabara asked yawning. "We have to go. Come on." Kurama said simply.
Hiei walked over to Yusuke and kicked him in the stomach. Yusuke automatically woke up and looked at Hiei. "What was that for?" Yusuke asked rubbing his stomach. "We're leaving. Get up." Hiei said walking away. "What? I barely got any sleep." Yusuke said stretching his arms and legs, then standing up. "Would rather gone without any?" Hiei said while walking up to Kuwabara who was still sitting down. "I said get up!" Hiei said raising his voice. "Who made you leader of this crew?" Kuwabara said his eyes narrowing. Hiei glared at Kuwabara and frowned. He turned his back on him and walked away. "Get up or be left behind." Hiei said bluntly.
Botan then woke up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. "What's going on? Quit being so noisy." She said sitting up. "Come on Botan. We have to keep moving." Yusuke said walking past her. "What? Already? The sun's not even up!" Botan said. "Then stay here with these fools then!" Hiei spat kicking the bodies of the demons. "Whoa! When did that happen?" Kuwabara asked eying the dead bodies. Yusuke poked them with his foot. "Yep. They're dead." Kurama simply walked past the bodies, not really that interested. Botan looked in disgust at them and jumped over them and quickly joined the crew.
"He's really down about this. He's just not himself." Yusuke whispered to Kurama. "Yusuke, it's his child. Wouldn't you do the same as him?" Kurama whispered softly. "Then… It doesn't matter even if he does hurt Hina, He'll kill him anyways just for taking her." Yusuke thought. "How much farther is it?" Kuwabara asked. "Well it depends, how far did we walk yesterday?" Yusuke asked. "At least a dozen miles." Botan said. "Then we're almost halfway there already!" Yusuke asked surprised. "I guess so." Botan replied. "Then hurry up! I'm not wasting time to get there!" Hiei said walking faster. The others joined him and walked on, still looking for Hina.
