A/N: Hey guys! I tried to get this up the same day I posted chapter 5, but I had to go. So I had three pages typed, but couldn't update. I'm at my dad's now, retyping those three pages just for you guys. So I want some major reviews!
Note: I don't dislike Kuwabara, I just like to use him as comic relief...and he isn't the brightest crayon in the box. But he's loyal.
Chapter Six: Calm Before the Storm
Enrikka's POV
"Well?"
"I'm trying."
"Try harder."
"Maybe I would if you'd shut up!" I said to Hiei.
"Hn. We don't have all day."
"Shut up!" Honestly, if he would be quiet I could...there! Got it! "There are fifty dead people around this building...if I...then they would rise about the same time..." I knew I was muttering to myself but I didn't care. I was glad to have my power back, and in the process of possible escape. "There!" I slumped against the corner I had insisted upon sitting in. I knew after not using my power for a week or two it would take a lot out of me, and I didn't want to fall off the cot. Plus, being on the ground sometimes helped the process along.
"Good work." Oh my gosh, he must really want to get out of here. He actually complimented me. Wow.
"Thanks, there are fifty zombies surrounding the place, all with orders to let a demon and two spiritually gifted teens to pass."
"Good." An alarm went off somewhere. "Now we can get out." Hiei reached over to the door and punched it down after muttering "Fists of the Mortal Flame." Pretty impressive. "Where do they keep the weapons?"
Delmar City
Author's POV
"Whoa! I'm getting that creepy feeling in waves from the forest." Kuwabara said to the others looking at him expectantly.
"Let's go." Kurama and Yusuke both said, starting off determinedly. Neither noticed their comrade's hesitation until he stopped them.
"No way! What if they attack us?"
"You moron!" Yusuke answered Kuwabara. "The dead are helping us! It's the guards we have to worry about." Kuwabara still wasn't convinced.
"But..."
"You are going!" Both Kurama and Yusuke said at the same time.
"Fine." Kuwabara said, taking the lead towards the 'creepy feeling'.
An Hour Later
"A CEMETARY?" Yusuke yelled. He stalked ahead and stared out at the field with gates marked 'Old Bones Cemetary'. Yusuke looked back to where Kurama was staring with disbelieving eyes at their companion. "Some rescue party we make." Yusuke muttered.
"Sorry guys." Kuwabara said as Kurama and Yusuke gave him glares that chilled him to the bone. "Maybe the person with Hiei hasn't raised the dead around them yet." Kuwabara knew the excuse wasn't much, but it was worth a try.
"You better not mess up again. This is life and death!" Yusuke said.
"I'll try again." Kuwabara told his friends.
"Better get it right this time!" Kurama growled, Youko obviously close to the surface. He pulled out a seed that looked suspiciously familiar. Yusuke's fist became engulfed in blue energy as he stared threateningly at his 'friend'. They both started laughing maniacally.
"This way guys!" Kuwabara yelled, running out of the forest. Yusuke and Kurama laughed mirthfully when he was out of sight.
"I don't think he'll mess up again do you?" Yusuke asked Kurama.
"No, I don't think so either." Kurama answered. They both took off after Kuwabara, Kurama once again wondering when they were going to get a car. Or...when Koenma could be pursuaded to.
Weapons Room
Hiei's POV
I was surprised to see the human strap a dagger onto her belt on both her right and left side, three throwing knives onto each wrist, and then pick up a staff with a big curved blade at the end. A naginata. Plus, all her weapons matched.
The staff part of the naginata was ice blue, and the part around the blade blood red. Each sheath for the throwing knives (one sheath for three knives) was black, while the kunai (throwing knives) themselves were ice blue, and the two daggers were blood red.
Enrikka then went into another room and told me not to follow. I shrugged and picked up my katana. A second later Enrikka came back, now dressed for battle. She had on a black sleeveless dress down to her ankles with slits up to her waist. The collar was to her chin, and blood red, which matched the red pants she was wearing underneath the dress thing. Her black sneakers completed the outfit.
Enrikka handed me back my cape as three guards came into the room. I strapped my cape on and unsheathed my katana from where I had just returned it to my side. Let's have some fun.
Following up on the message, Enrikka attacked the guards. I was surprised to hear a thought like that from her, but she had the biggest reason to enjoy the fighting. Who knew how long she'd been here, where I'd only been here three or four days. And I wasn't summoned for torture.
Enrikka took down all three guards, taking keys from all of them. "What are all the keys for?" I asked her, for once letting curiosity overcome my usual bored tone.
"I'm setting all the others free." She told me.
"I thought we were escaping." I told her, I was not going to unlock every cell in this huge place. Enrikka must have noticed the 'What a waste of time' look on my face.
"Look, the cells aren't all occupied, and you don't have to come." She told me, casually running a guard through with her naginata.
"If they're weak enough to get caught..." I started, only to be cut off.
"We got caught." She was quick to remind me.
"But we got out." Nevertheless I was intrigued, and followed her when she left the weapons room. She smiled at me as we walked down the corridor.
"Change of heart?"
"I don't know the way out." I answered calmly.
"You could read my mind." She was smirking now.
"Hn. Don't tempt me." I warned her; me myself not knowing why I didn't do just that.
Outside
Kurama's POV
'Almost there.' The place Hiei was being held at was a castle made of stone, surrounded by a stone wall; and about fifty zombies. Not to mention the hundred or so guards, who were currently cutting down said zombies.
"Ready to kick some butt?" Yusuke asked.
"Yes. Youko wants to try out some Vine of Death seeds." Yusuke looked at me oddly.
"You have more than one?" He asked. To this I answered with a dark chuckle.
Suddenly we heard an alarm from inside the castle. "Time to go." We walked down the hill that overlooked the castle, and found our way over a stone wall. 'The owner must be very powerful to have this many guards. And to think there are more inside.' I thought as the guards spotted us dropping over to their side of the wall.
"Hey girls!" Kuwabara and Yusuke chimed together. "Mind if we join the tea party?"
A/N: Next chapter: (if I get reviews)
Chapter Seven: Bustin' Out
Enrikka's POV
Hiei grabbed my hand as I was pulled part way through the floor.
"Don't let go." He ordered me. Yelling came from the entryway, and looking over I saw guards stream in and surround Hiei.
"Hiei..."
"Just don't let go." He unsheathed his katana, but I knew...
