A/N: Hey guys, hope you enjoy this chapter and review at the end! Feedback will prompt me to continue…
Warning: attempted humor that probably sucks. Just to let you know, and you can't flame me because I warned you.
Bustin' Out, Part 2
Outside with the guys, Yusuke's POV
"Well that's that." I say, rubbing my hands together. "Let's go inside." I look around, noticing a certain red-headed demon is not with us. "Hey Kuwabara, you seen Kurama?" Kuwabara starts to answer, but stops to listen to something. I hear it too; laughing.
Insane laughter.
Insane laughter that sounds strangely familiar.
I start to walk towards the sound, motioning for Kuwabara to follow.
"What do you think it is Urameshi?"
"Don't know, but I'm gonna find out." I tell Kuwabara.
We look around the corner of the castle at the same time. It sounds like that is where the laughter is coming from. I can feel my eyes bug out of my head as I look at what I'm seeing. I hear my friend choke back a scream.
Before us lay the bodies of the guards; with vines coming out of every inch of their bodies. Some were still moving or…twitching.
The silver head of Youko was bent over another victim, inserting something into the guy's nose. So Kurama wasn't joking… Youko stands up and turns toward us, and the laughing stops.
"He was laughing about it…" Kuwabara whispers to me. I nod dumbly, my mouth hanging open.
"Well?" Youko asks lightly, turning back into Kurama. "Shall we go on?" He starts to walk toward us and we jump out of his way.
"Remind me never to tick you off." I tell Kurama, stepping up to walk beside him. He just turns and smiles darkly. I stop and look at Kuwabara in a horrified way, he looks scared too.
"I think I'm scarred for life." I don't know which one of us says it, but Kurama chuckles. I think he's got Youko syndrome right now.
'Man, I didn't know Kurama liked Hiei so much. Maybe he…no, no, way too sick to think about.' I shake my head vigorously and start to catch up to Kurama when up ahead I hear him saying, "Yusuke, I can read your thoughts, and if you ever think something that inappropriate about me again, I am afraid I will have a special seed for you."
Kuwabara chuckles as I "eep". We go into the castle as I think, 'I can't believe I just eeped, but the way he was so calm and polite about it…it's just creepy. Definitely Youko syndrome.'
Back Inside
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." The blue haired demon states. I raise and eyebrow, amused.
"Leave him out of this Benji, this is between you and me." Enrikka says.
'Benji must be the owner of this place.' I think.
Hiei, quickly. Can you destroy Toguro's body, and the remains of the four Saint Beasts? Enrikka thinks to me. I am at the table I just noticed in a second. I use my powers to set fire to the jars and Toguro's body and soon they are just ashes; there is no way Enrikka can raise them.
"Hiei look out!" I jump out of the way as a sword passes through where I was just standing.
"I'll destroy you for that!" Benji shouts at me.
"If you can." I state, dodging out of the way his blade again. "Which I highly doubt." My comment seems to send the demon into a fit of rage as his blade comes faster.
Then he stops for a second, and I notice a blue kunai sticking out of his elbow. He roars and turns toward Enrikka. A stupid mistake, and I think the battle is won as I bring my katana in a downward strike to slice him in half.
My blade meets with nothing, and yet passes through his body. I realize then that he is the one who pulled Enrikka through the floor, and he can phase through whatever he wants.
Ignoring me as I continue to hack at him (trying to find solid flesh to connect with), he walks toward Enrikka. "You know, it is not honorable to stab someone in the back." He tells her, and I hear her snort derisively.
"It was your elbow, not your back." She retorts, then continues. "It is also not honorable to prey on those weaker than you or pull people through floors. Or keep us in cages like animals."
During this I stopped trying to cut him down and let him get halfway to her, realizing he'll never be cut if I keep at it.
We need to catch him by surprise. I tell Enrikka, and she charges Benji to distract him. I take my position looking on for the opportunity I need to end it.
A/N: Hope it didn't suck. Please tell me if I was able to make you laugh, and at which parts! Next time!
Chapter Eight: Cavalry
Enrikka's POV
I have to show you. I get no reply, but I can feel Hiei trying to get inside my head now. I know I can't hope to keep him out longer than a few minutes, so I put my plan into action.
I may need you to help me after.
A/N: Oh no! What is Enrikka thinking that she can't let Hiei know ahead of time? Guess you'll review to find out! I love being evil, but you guys know I love ya!
Hasta Luego,
Katana Blade
