Chapter Six: The Rescue Plan

Kuwabara woke up hearing the Cat Dance ring of his cell phone. He leaned over and picked it up. "Who would call this early in the morning? Hello? Yusuke! Why'd you call me? What??? She's been kidnapped?? How's that possible, can't she fight? Okay, I'm coming over right now. Hold on though, I can't wake Sis, or she'll really be—okay, I'm coming. Hey, I am not stupid! Right, bye." Kuwabara quickly slipped on something and rushed over to Yusuke's house.

"So, we need to find Kurama and Hiei."

"Urameshi! What? We don't need that little shrimp. I doubt he'd care about your business. I mean Botan had to bribe him into rescuing you a long time ago."

"Ok, whatever, then find Kurama."

"How should I know where he lives?" Kuwabara demanded.

"Well, you were at the wedding weren't you?"

"Weddings aren't at people's houses! They're at churches."

"Oh, right." Yusuke went and grabbed a phone book.

"Min, Minah, Minam, Minamino, Shiori. There it is. We shouldn't call and disturb the whole family. Let's walk there and eventually find his window."

"Okay, whatever Urameshi, I was just about to say that."

Yusuke and Kuwabara walked to where Kurama's house was. They easily found out which room was Kurama's; it was the only one with lights on in it. Yusuke jumped up onto a small platform before Kurama's window and knocked on it. Inside he could see Kurama look up from a text book then run over to open the window.

"Whoa, I thought we were the only ones awake at this hour," Yusuke said pointing at Kuwabara who was still on the driveway.

"Well, I guess I needed to study for this last exam final before school is over," Kurama said. Kuwabara eventually clambered into Kurama's window.

"Aaaaah!" Kuwabara gasped. "Bio final tomorrow! If I don't pass, I won't make it into college! I need to study—right now. Kurama, you have a book, right? Come on let me—"

"We have more important things to do right now," Yusuke reminded him.

Yusuke turned and said to Kurama, "My sister has been kidnapped. It was by someone extremely fast. I guess I could have caught him, but I just didn't react fast enough because all of the fighting stopped. This person had a strong energy level, so I decided to call us all together."

Kurama nodded. "Do you think it may be a demon that somehow got through the barrier? Well, are you going to call Hiei?"

"Nope. He's probably out somewhere not doing his job, that's it. He probably let some demon in at the barrier somehow and then that demon snatched your sis, Urameshi," Kuwabara said.

"Quit talking, Kuwabara! We're just wasting time. Come on Kurama, let's go." Yusuke jumped out of the window with the two others following.

-----PART TWO-----

Luci woke with the sound of Hiei slicing trees. She rubbed her eyes and then called out to him. "Hiei—"

Hiei jumped to a tree limb adjacent from the one Luci stood on. "We're leaving."

"Wait a second. Can't you tell me something—at least where I'm going and why you're taking me there when you could be taking someone else?"

Hiei was going to say, 'Hn," but when he looked into her eyes, he could see an expression that reminded him of Yukina's sweet smiling face. Hiei jumped to the same limb as the one Luci was on and sat down beside her.

He seems sorrowful, Luci thought, like he's been through a lot of hard things. I can see it in his eyes. On the outside he is proud and arrogant, but in the inside he is very fragile and innocent. He looks as if he wanted to say something to someone...anyone, but he can't. I don't know, maybe I'm just imagining stuff, but even if I were to ask him, I really doubt he would admit it.

"Someone asked me to bring you to them," Hiei finally said. Luci sat down and scooted toward him. "And, he has my sister as a hostage, that's all."

Luci leaned closer to Hiei and whispered, "I knew you had a good reason to go into my window in the first place. Please, tell me more, of your life and feelings. It's okay... and it may be hard, but I'll listen." The more she spoke, the purer and sweeter it sounded.

Hiei found her staring in his eyes and he was blushing slightly. "I was careless when he took her. I've known her for two years almost. When I was just a baby, I was cast out of our home because I was a fire demon. They were all ice people. I was cursed. I was brought up by a band of thieves, but I became so powerful that they were all afraid of me, so I eventually left that place. The only memory I had of my home was the tear gem given to me by my mother, and one day I lost it. That's when I decided I needed a Jagan eye. After I had surgery to implant that third eye, I found my homeland and went there. The people there were all afraid of me. I eventually met one of my mother's friends, and she told me I had a sister, Yukina. I went searching for Yukina and the tear gem, but I was unable to find them. After that I started stealing from the human world, and I was eventually caught by the spirit detective, Yusuke Urameshi, your brother."

"My brother, a spirit detective? That's weird, but do continue."

"Along with Kurama, I was put on probation by Koenma, the son of King Enma. We later both became spirit detectives along with Yusuke and Kuwabara and had many cases, one of which was to rescue Yukina. When I finally met Yukina for the first time, I found that she was tortured for her tear gems by greedy men. When she was rescued, I didn't tell her I was her brother and to this day, she still doesn't know, although she may have some ideas running through her head. Later on, we were soon asked to join the dark tournament in the demon world. We that tournament, but there were many new cases..." Hiei continued on about how he fought Sensui and clarified many things. "I was later asked by Mukuro to join her forces, and I did. But then I returned to the human world for Yukina, but when I went to Genkai's temple, she was gone. Now that man has asked me to bring you to him in exchange for Yukina, and that is all." Why did I tell her all of this anyway? I don't care at all for this human girl. I don't even know her--

"Hiei," Luci murmured, "I feel sorrow for you, although I've never been through anything like that. I'm sorry he took Yukina, and I will go with you to get her back. I promise. Let's go." She leaned on his shoulder.

"I—" Hiei stopped. For the first time in his life, he seemed hesitant about something. Suddenly he could hear someone yelling.

"Luce! Luci!!! You're here somewhere!" It was Yusuke.

"Oh crap, that's my bro, let's go Hiei, I don't want him to find me." Hiei picked her up and leaped away.
