Me: I think i'll try making this chapter as long as the beggining chapter. I used to make 2500 word chapters but not now.

Shuichi: Well going further into a story you start to lose inspiration.

Me: Yes I suppose your right...

Ashira: But I do think she should make her chapters longer and update faster.

Shuichi: You definately have problems with being patient.

Ashira: tackles Shuichi

Me: Here they go again.

Hiei: walks in on the two What's going on here?!

Me: There fighting again because Shuichi called her impatient...again.

Hiei: They are fighting more often.

Me: nods

Shuichi: changes to Yoko and gets away from her

Ashira: tackles him once more

Yoko: Damn it woman! Leave me alone! It's not my fault I said the truth! getting away from her again and now constricting her with vines

Ashira: phases through the vines and chases after him

Me: Well I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho or Ashira Jaganshi

Hiei: But she does own the other charecters.

Me: And the fic shall begin.

Ashira and Yoko: still fighting with each other

Me: Oh brother...

Chapter 9: The Search

Yoko braved to talk to her on their way back to the village. She was still pissed and giving off an immense amount of energy.

"Ayare..." he started, to get her attention.

"Yes Yoko?" she asked in a controlled voice though anger was still evident in her tone.

"Maybe we should go back to Hiei's village. Hiei could help with the problem." replied Yoko

"Yes that would be a good idea." she sighed, letting out a bit of the anger. "Let's go then." she turned back to the direction of Hiei's village. Yoko and Kuronue followed.

While they were walking there Ayare had many thoughts running through her mind, 'Where is Rei? Is he alright? What happened to him? How did he disappear? I still think Blade had something to do with it. His threat a few years ago are still fresh in my mind. It was three years ago...'

Flashback

Ayare, Yoko, Rei and Kuronue were training in the clearing that they usually trained at. The one where Yoko and Ayare almost faught. Ayare was sparring against Yoko and Rei was sparring against Kuronue. Ayare and Yoko were fighting with their rose whips while Kuronue was fighting with his scythe on it's chain and Rei with his katana.

Both fights were going pretty well when all of them stopped. They sensed a very familiar and unwanted energy and knew exactly who it was. Blade. Both kitsunes put their whips away which changed back to their red and white rose. Rei sheathed his katana and Kuronue put his weapon away as well. As expected the dragon demon was walking towards. Ayare was about to speak though Kuronue beat her to it.

"What are you doing here Blade?" asked the bat demon with his usual annoyed voice while speaking to Blade.

"What, is it a crime to walk around the forest?" Blade asked in his arrogant,cocky tone of voice.

"It is if it's you doing the walking..." muttered Kuronue

"Is that so?" asked Blade

Before his sister or Yoko could speak he spoke, "Just tell us what you need to and leave." he said in an even tone.

He growled slightly at the two, Rei and Kuronue, glaring at them as well, "I'm just passing through."

"I'm sure you were..." another mutter from Kuronue.

"Watch it Kuronue or i'll kill you." said Blade

"Like you could." Kuronue replied

"I'm sure I could kill all of you." said Blade quite confident

Finally she spoke, "You sound confident."

"Only because it's true, vixen." he said with a little name he had started to call her.

She growled, "I'll kill YOU if you call me that again!"

"Hn, not if I kill you first." and not waiting to hear the reply he walked off.

Flash back end

A growl could be heard while she recalled this memory. Yoko and Kuronue looked up at each other wondering what had happened to her to make her growl besides just her brother having gone missing. As if having caught the silent question she gave a few words explaination.

"Just recalling a memory." she said, glancing back at them, trying to calm from the memory.

The two nodded to her. In a few more miles of walking they made it to Hiei's village. Many of the demons steered clear form them, or mostly Ayare since she was still pissed off, looks and all. Feeling her familiar energy Hiei soon walked over to them, Ashira along with him of course. Seing her obviously not in a good mood wonders what's wrong before asking.

"What's wrong? Why are you here?" he asked with a bit of worry as to what the problem might be.

"Rei has disappeared and we have no idea where he has gone. Yoko said that coming here for help would be a good idea." replied Ayare, her emotions changing completely from anger to anxiousness.

Hiei nodded, "Well I can help. I'll use my jagan to try and find him."

He took the headband off and opened his jagan eye. It glowed for a while. After a few moments it closed and he wrapped the headband back on, "I know where he is. He's at Ureshii Palace."

Ayare's eyes looked at him questioningly as did the others, "What would he be doing there?" asked Ayare.

Hiei shrugged, "I have no idea but he was there. I recognized one of the rooms we passed by when on previous thefts."

"Well let's get going then." said Ayare

"Alright and i'll come along too." said Hiei

"I'll come too." said Ashira

Ayare nodded to the two, "Thanks." she then started off in the direction of Ureshii Palace.

While they were heading in that direction Hiei spoke, "And we'd better hurry. It looked like something bad was happening to him."

With that they continued in a run.

Meanwhile in Ureshii Palace what Hiei had spoken of was exactly what was happening. Ruri had Rei in a cage made of spirit energy. Rei had burns all over his body from trying to escape the cage. He looked up and glared at the people that captured him.

"Blade, i'll kill you if I ever get out of here." his usual kind natured voice filled with anger growled out. (A/N: Think about something similar to Kurama's voice.)

"Well that is if you ever get out of their." Blade replied in an amused tone of voice.

"And I assure you that you won't be getting out." said Ruri. She was watching a screen showing Ayare and her friends coming to the castle.

"Well, they've come as expected." said Ruri, "A bit soon too. How did they find you?" she asked Rei

"Well if you must know Hiei most likely helped them." Rei replied

"Ah, he used the jagan." she said, "Well I'd better get ready for their arrival." and with that said she shifted her form and it looked exactly like Rei.

Rei looked at her in surprise, "Your a shapeshifter!"

"Very observant." she said in his voice.

"What are you planning to do?!" he demanded

"Well you'll see soon enough." and with that she suddenly disappeared.

Rei soon looked to the screen that she was just watching. Blade did the same.

Me: Well there it is. I'm really sorry Rei...

Rei: It's alright. It's part of the story.

Yoko: It's good to finally be out again.

Me: Well that would be her fault. I point at Ashira

Ashira: Well he shouldn't call me impatient.

Me: Even though it's true?

Ashira: Don't you start Ayare...

Me: Fine, whatever. Anyway could you please review. I would kindly apprieciate it.

Yoko: Aren't you forgetting something?

Me: looks thoughtful then a dawning of realization comes to her Oh yeah! My Inuyasha story with Sesshoumaru and Kagome and the others will be in part two of this story and it will be a crossover. It's the only way I could make the story.

Yoko: Well we should go and inform them then shouldn't we?

Me: nods Well we're off. me and Yoko walk off

Hiei: Well all of you that are reading, review her story.

Rei: Yes and she also reviews other stories so in your review you can ask her. looks around Where are Kuronue, Blade and Ruri?

Hiei: I don't know.

Ashira: Neither do I.

Rei: Oh well. Thanks to all of you that will review.
