Yusuke was getting worn out with dodging the oncoming attacks from the monsters tail and bites from its mandibles. He was not always able to get out of the way in time to add to it since he had Kuwabara with him. Reizo's tail launched forward and caught Yusuke's leg causing him to lose his footing and fall. Reizo made a leap for the fallen teenager but fell back with a shriek when a rose dart struck him in the eyes. Kurama ran to Yusuke and helped him up, Reizo distracted with getting the dart out of his eyes, a difficult task seeing as he had no fingers. Kurama quickly handed Yusuke an herb to stop the poison from his leg wound spreading through his body.

"You I'll make sure to eat slowly." growled Reizo finally getting the dart out. Kurama jumped out of the way of an attack from the tail. Another assault came most of the scorpions attacks concentrated on him. The tail hit the metallic wall each time leaving a hole as big as a human head. Kurama dodged each time but with the holes in the walls came rubble which was starting to narrow down his area to evade them. It came to him being cornered by debris and nowhere to jump to. Reizo laughed and lunged with all his force. Kurama jumped sideways onto the wall using it to push off from and jumped onto the monster's back, running over it and jumping off behind him. Reizo went crashing into the wall being covered by the rocks. He burst out throwing large stones around and leaping at Kurama. Kurama wasn't able to move. If he tried to jump out of the way he would have been hit by the rocks knocking him unconscious. Reizo had caught him plunging his tail into the boy's abdomen. Kurama yelled in pain.

"Kurama!" shouted Yusuke who saw the attack. He began powering up a spirit gun but before he could fire it off a fireball blasted and hit the beast first. Reizo backed off and pulled his tail out of Kurama's stomach the fox collapsing on the ground bleeding. The tail hadn't pierced through his spine which was lucky enough so he was alive but in intense pain.

Tora jumped in front of Kurama before Reizo could attempt to eat him.

"Tora, how long it's been." mocked Reizo.

"Yes, sadly it hasn't been long enough for me. Get back to the bottom floor. You know you're supposed to stay there." ordered Tora. Reizo laughed.

"Supposed to stay there? Why ever would I want to do that? It would be different if I didn't have a choice like you. You and your sisters. How is dear Sairi doing by the way?" he mocked.

"Just fine, yeah, she's started dating nonfreaks."

"Think you're pretty funny now, don't you?" Reizo sneered, his tail sneaking to her right side.

"Yes, yes, I do." Tora replied smirking.

"THE TAIL! WATCH OUT FOR THE TAIL! WHAT ARE YOU BLIND?" shouted Yusuke. Reizo laughed and plunged his tail towards the girl.

"Yes that she is."

Tora smiled and grabbed his tail stopping it before it stabbed her.

"Blind yes, but I'm not deaf." She said pulling him and slamming him into the wall by his tail. The hall began to shake with the blow and more and more debris was beginning to pour into the hall. Yusuke cursed and looked at Kurama who was still lying on the ground in a bloody puddle. Making a run for it his path was blocked by the caving in of the tunnel. He pulled back not wanting to get caught in the wall of stones. When the dust settled he realized the entry way was completely blocked.

"DAMNIT! KURAMA!" Shouted Yusuke banging on the wall.

Sairi raced down the hallway after the blur. She accelerated and caught up with him hitting one of his legs. He lost his footing and fell though immediately getting up and lunging at her. She ducked from a slash from his sword and countered catching his side. She backed off and darted down the hallway in a different direction.

"Hn, you're trying to distract me and lead me away from something. It's not going to work." He analyzed. Sairi stopped.

"You're good." Sairi complemented, "because of that I'll give you a choice. We can do this the easy way or the hard way."

"I'm up for a challenge. I'll take the hard way." He replied jumping at her and teleporting behind her right when he was about to tackle her. Bringing up his sword he was about to strike her down but a cascade of rocks fell on top of him stopping his attack. Sairi didn't turn around and her hands began to glow. The rocks that had poured down on top of Hiei were beginning to meld themselves together and get stronger.

"I'll give you another chance to go back. I can very easily make these rocks crush you instantly, but I'd prefer to not have to do that. Now please leave." She warned. Hiei glared and began to power up. The cage of rock began to crack and fall apart. Sairi looked at him in amazement.

"Hn, I'll take my chances."

Tora coughed and waved a hand in front of her face trying to clear the stale dusty air in front of her. When the air cleared she was now looking at a new wall of rocks.

"Hm, that'll hold him for a while. Guess I'll dig him out later and throw him back into the bottom floor. I just hope those guys didn't get caught in the land slide. They still need to kill me." she said turning to head back to Womb. A groan made her turn around. The red headed guy that was fighting Reizo when she showed up was lying on the ground in a bloody mess. His name was Kuroma or something like that was what she remembered. A stone had harshly landed on his arm most likely breaking it. Walking over to him she inspected him a while. He opened his eyes and looked up at her. He didn't look like he was going to last long.

"Tora, he's hurt. Please, can we help him?" Kyoko spoke in Tora's mind. Tora wondered if she had sent the message to the guy on the floor too for he opened his eyes a little more as if in some hope. A groan built up in Tora's throat as she looked at the dieing male on the ground.

"Don't suppose you can walk." she sighed looking at the hole in his stomach, "Nah that would be too much. Right then."

Kurama cried out in pain when Tora lifted him off the ground. He was drifting in and out of consciousness from loss of blood.

"Sorry about that, I'll try to be more careful. First time I've ever tried helping someone that was injured. Heck, first time I've ever tried to help someone at all." she said carrying him down the hall. Here and there she opened up a hidden passage way or door letting them skip up to ten floors with one hallway. Finally they came to a door that needed extra scans and passwords to open. Kurama brought his head up to see the door open to the Womb.

"Well here we are! Welcome to our humble home. It sucks monkey." Tora dumped Kurama on the couch as she opened up a spare tank. She threw him in without a word. Kurama panicked a little attempting to keep his head above the water. He felt things grabbing at him and attaching things to his body. He shouted out.

"Quit fighting. It'll only make your wounds worse." Tora ordered not looking up from her book, "Oh yes."

She stood up and grabbed a thick wire hooking it up to Kyoko's tank and Kurama's. Brushing her hands off like she just completed a difficult task she walked to a couch and seated herself.

"Do your stuff, Kyo." She said waving a hand.

"What was the reason for that?" he asked her.

"You'll heal faster if Kyo's tank is hooked to yours." Tora simply stated

picking back up her book. Kurama was growing tired from trying to keep his head above the water.

"Please, calm down. The tank will do nothing to harm you." A female voice

spoke in his head. He was still confused on what exactly was going on so he continued looking around.

"The water is okay to breathe in. It'll just feel strange for a second. You can also open your eyes too." explained the voice.

"Where are you?" he asked out loud still struggling to keep his head above the water.

"She's in the middle of the room, moron." shouted Tora. Kurama scowled and looked toward where she told him to look, but all he saw was another tank. Looking closer he then realized there was a girl in the tank.

"I see, telepathic messages." He said still aloud.

"You shouldn't speak. Please, just trust me. The water will help." pleaded the voice again. Kurama hesitated but submerged under the water.

"Psh, finally he gets it through his head. I'm going to go put Reizo back and see where Sai is. Late." she stated going through the door.

Hiei gave a shout as he continued his onslaught of slashes. Sai had several cuts but still showed no sign of her strength diminishing. She was completely matched with him which annoyed the hell out of her.

"Hn, how long are you planning to keep this up? Do tell, what's so important that you fight so hard for?" he asked. Sairi looked at him a protective glare.

"Same thing that you fight for." She simply told him.

"You can't possibly know what I fight for, fool." he sneered. Sairi blocked and parried one of his attacks.

"Oh really? Then why are you defending the fact so vehemently? Are you one of those 'I don't need anyone, but I really do, I just won't admit it' kind of guys?" she teased. This pissed Hiei off and made him speed up his attacks. Sairi backed up against the wall. Hiei lunged in at her. She had been waiting for her chance. Bringing her hand down on a hidden scan plate, the scanner checked her finger prints and opened up. She moved out of the way Hiei's momentum carrying him forward into the passage way. Sairi closed the door back up immediately when he was completely inside. That tunnel would lead a person ten stories up with the activation codes but seeing as how he didn't have them, it would be a good chance that he would end up somewhere around the 8th floor. Sairi smirked and headed back, her face wearing a pair of scratches from Hiei's sword.

Tora met up with her at the 117th floor. Promising each other brief explanations, Tora demanded that she would go first, which rose Sairi's level of suspicion immediately.

"…and so now he should end up somewhere around the 8th floor." She finished. Tora smirked.

"Nice." She complemented. Sairi waited.

"Well?" she asked.

"Yes?" Tora asked innocently.

"What happened?"

"Actually it was mostly Kyo's doing, so let the hammer fall on her not me."

"I'll decide on who gets 'hammered' when you tell me what happened."

"Well, okay, it all started when I was two and my parents wer-"

"Stop it." Sairi warned reaching her rope's end. Tora frowned.

"Okay, I'll stop." She stated. There was another moment of silence.

"Stop but…TELL ME WHAT YOU DID!"

"Alright, alright, geez, someone woke up on the wrong side of the tank. Okay dokey, how to say this. Ooo! I know. Another tank is full."

"E-excuse me?" the cat girl stopped.

"Well, you see the red head was all bleeding and bleeding-like, and Kyo was all like 'Oh no! We should help!' and I was all like 'whatever' but then Kyo was all like 'Help him back, please' so I did." Tora explained, "The end." Sairi looked at Tora as if she didn't believe her. After a while she shook it off.

"Right, if he ends up killing us all, I'm blaming it on you."

"I love you too, Sai."
