Hiei found himself in a part of Makai he had never been to. Nothing seemed familiar; it had an odd sort of smell. Hiei was confused. Normally he would only get transported to places he'd already been to because his energy would recognize the place. How had this happened?
This really didn't concern him though: he'd just find a place he was familiar with and rest the night, then go out in the morning on a demon killing spree. Yes... that sounded like fun. He started forward. He looked around himself: He would have to remember this place. It was filled with the scent of blood, and weak demon aura peaking out of every crevice. This was obviously someone's territory, and whoevers it was, he would find them and kill them, and take this place over.
He decided not to take a path through the trees: there was a slight path formed around them, lined with long grass and tree roots. Whoever lived here had obviously made this path, but had not been here for a very long time. The long grass was starting to grow back into the middle of the path, and overhanging tree branches were low enough to whip him in the face.
He rounded a corner. There was a cave off to one side. Two plants were standing on either side of the entrance. They seemed harmless, though here in Makai, you could never be too sure. Hiei decided to sprint across the opening, so the plants would not have any time to attack him, if in fact they were deadly. In a split second Hiei went from a stand still to a full sprint, and in just a split second, a vine outstretched itself at the height of Hiei's stomach. His legs flung under and he did a complete flip around the vine, before being flung back to where he had first seen the cave.
"What the hell?" Hiei muttered. How in the world could a plant move as fast as him? Who had the power to even create a plant that moved as fast as him? Now Hiei was interested. If the owner of these plants was a strong demon, he would like to meet him and hopefully become allys. If not, maybe learn a few tricks, like he had with Shigure.
Hiei knew the plants were alive, so he spoke telepathically to them. Where is your master? I would like to meet with him.
We talk to none other then our master. We were told that if anyone comes near here, to kill them, so that is just what we will do to you! One of the plants growled at him. Before he knew it, a vine had appeared behind him and pushed him towards the other vine that had stopped his sprint. It was still outstreached. Hiei tried to duck under the vine, but another appeared, equally as fast as the other two. He tried to jump, but that was also to no avail. He was trapped! He wished Kurama was here. He'd call off the plants, then Hiei'd tell him that he loved him.
"NO NO NO!" he shouted to himself. He was again disgusted that his thoughts were straying to that fox at a cruicial time like this.
A vine appeared beneath him and wrapped itself around his left leg. Another appeard and wrapped itself around his chest. He had no time, or space - as he had been pushed extremely close to the other vine - to dodge the vines that were ensnaring him. He tried to summon his energy to get ready for his dragon of the darkness flame that could scorch all these vines to oblivion, but found that his energy was trapped within him from the plants. Exactly like what Gama did to Kurama with his face paint.
Hiei realized he had run out of time as he saw a thick fog emerge from within the cave. He knew immediately what it was: poison gas. His eyes widened with fear. The plants would only let him go once their pray was unconcious. Hiei had no choice in this matter. He would die.
Yoko Kurama found himself in Mukuro's territory. "Why am I here?" he wondered outloud. But whatever the reason, he knew Mukuro would find him here sooner or later, and he was in no mood for a fight. He quickly escaped through the bondaries of her territory, and once out, tried immediately to sense Hiei's energy. But he was unable to. It was like Hiei had masked his energy, but Hiei would never do that. He liked to pick fights with weaker demons and would purposely show off his energy so demons would come running to him to get a chance at his head, for they knew him as Murkuro's heir.
Kurama didn't sense Hiei's energy, but did sense a capture of his plants. He tried to remember where he had set traps. Oh yes! The cave where he and Kuronue hid all of their stolen items. Kurama frowned. It was just going to be a lower class beast, like he always sensed when he returned, which wasn't often.
He might as well get rid of whatever was busying his plants so they could be ready for another capture if another demon happened to come along. He made his way through the forest, which he knew led right near his hideout. Just a few minutes later he emerged from the forest. If anything, he could eat the demon for dinner, and continue his search for Hiei in the morning. Though as Kurama drew near, he became confused. There was no demon aura coming from the prey his plants had captured, as if they had only captured a stick. He knew his plants had the power to trap ones energy inside their body, but would only do that if they knew the demon they captured was a strong one...
Kurama suddenly gasped and sprinted the rest of the way towards his cave.
Hiei lay unconcious on the ground. He was not yet dead, but in fact he had just passed out, and may still have a slight sense of what was going on around him. The plants had dropped him, and the poison gas was still surrounding his weak form.
