A/N: Hey guys! Even though I only got two reviews (hint hint) I decided to update anyway. Enjoy!

Chapter Seven: Bustin' Out

Enrikka's POV

"There. That didn't take long." I said cheerfully as the last prisoner was set free. I had told all of them to stay hidden somewhere until they didn't hear fighting anymore.

"Why bother?" Hiei asked. "They didn't help you."

"And I promised myself I would never be like them." I told him solemnly. "C'mon, I think the exit is this way."

We walked a long way without running into anyone else. Finally we reached a staircase, and ascended. I had never been upstairs before. I had been knocked out when I got here, and when I woke up I was being dragged thorugh the basement.

The room was big, and empty; at least, that's how it seemed. I felt Hiei tense beside me and immediately knew we weren't alone after all. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up, and instinctively I turned to look behind me. For a second I thought I saw a shadow or something, then it was gone.

Hiei...

"Show yourself coward." Hiei called out into the room. Suddenly something grabbed my ankle.

"Hiei!" I yelled, looking at the hand around my ankle. It was protruding from the floor. 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 start to surround Hiei.

"Hiei..."

"Just don't let go." He unsheathed his Katana, but I knew he couldn't fight while playing tug-o-war with whoever was trying to pull me through the floor.

"Good luck." I told him as I let go.

"No!" He yelled, reaching for me, but I was pulled back to the basement.

The person who had pulled me down let me fall to the floor. "Ouch!" I said as I landed on my rump. I looked around, and found myself back in one of the torture chambers. The body of Toguro was on a table, and pieces of the Saint Beasts were in labeled jars.

"Disgusting!" I exclaimed.

"Welcome back." I looked up at the owner of the voice, who also happened to be the owner of this sick place. "I can't believe you two managed to escape!" He exclaimed, chuckling to himself. He was sitting by the table. "To think I had to drag you back myself." He shook his head.

"Are you done blabbing to yourself?" I asked. "'Cause I'm ready to get out of here." The demon narrowed his eyes. His long blue hair swayed when he stood up.

"Do what I have commanded and maybe I'll let you go." He said, a mocking tone in his voice.

"Do you think me stupid Benji? You let me go after I do what you want, and the dead I raise destroy all of Ningenkai? I'd die anyway." I scoff at him. He crosses the room before I can move, grabbing me by the throat.

"Raise them." He says into my face. "Make me their master."

"Drop dead. Then I can raise you for target practice." He squeezes my throat, and I try to force his hands off.

"Do it. Or I'll kill you here and now." I look into his cold eyes that are trying to threaten me.

"Go ahead," I tell him, my voice fierce. "But you will never find anyone else with my power."

It was a gamble, but it worked. He pushes me away from him. "Fine, maybe I'll have to kill your cellmate then. To convince you." The air catches in my throat as something flickers inside. "I thought so." Benji says.

Back Upstairs

Hiei's POV

'I have to get back to the basement.' I think as I cut down guard after guard. 'Why?' Another voice in my head pipes up. 'She's just a human. You're going soft, You've been on parole too long.' Another guard meets my cold blade. 'I escaped with her help.' My inner battle did nothing to impede upon the outside one. 'She healed me.'

My loyal nature won the battle, and as I destroyed the last idiot, I turned and went back down the stairs. 'Darn human.' I thought as I went down the steps; 'If she hadn't healed me I wouldn't be in this predicament.'

A/N: Alright, it wasn't going to be this short, but I'm leaving my dad's really soon, and I wanted to post. For those of you who reviewed...thanks you two. Alright, please leave me more reviews, and maybe the chapters will come faster!

Next time:

Still chapter Seven...part Two

There will also be some attempted funniness, which might not be so good.

Hiei's POV

I walk in as some guy with long blue hair says, "I thought so." to Enrikka.

"Ah, welcome. We were just discussing my need to kill you."
