Chapter Seven: The Plan

A/N: Okay. I haven't forgotten about the whole masked man figure. I might length the story to 11 chapters or something. This is a long chapter so, enjoy.

OH- here's the disclaimer: I don't own YYH. But, I do own the masked man, which will have a name soon.

Kurama, Kuwabara and Yusuke all met at Yusuke's house to discuss how they would get Hiei back. Atsuko was out partying with her drinking buddies like usual. Kurama, Kuwabara and Yusuke all sat on the floor of Yusuke's living room.

Kurama looked at the two of them and said, " Any ideas?"

Kuwabara and Yusuke shrugged. Kurama sighed. This wasn't going to be easy. Kurama thought of any blackmail or any alternatives. Nothing. Then an idea came to mind. He could do a favor for Koenma, a personal one.

Kurama looked between Kuwabara and Yusuke who were thinking very hard, which was a surprise for them at their IQ.

Kurama says, " We could do something for Koenma."

Yusuke says, " Like what, fox boy?"

"Well, Koenma seems to fancy Ayame. If we hook them up, he owns a favor hopefully. We will use that favor to get Hiei out of prison."

" Not a bad idea, Kurama. Not a bad idea at all. But, how shall we do this then?"

Kurama pondered on that for a moment and says, " Listen, here's the plan. First, we talk to Koenma and sort of make him confess him love to Ayame. Then we tell him that we can probably help him with this if he lets Hiei out of prison."

Yusuke and Kuwabara took a second. Kuwabara just nodded.

Yusuke asks, " What if he says he doesn't need our help and just hooks up with Ayame by himself?"

Kurama says, " Let's hope that doesn't happen and if it does, we have to break Hiei out. But, I can't handle Demon World's energy waves for long. So, break Hiei out will have to planned flawlessly.

Yusuke says, " But, if we do that, then You and Hiei will live your life on the run…"

Kurama sighed, " I understand that. So, we'll make sure we do 'plan a' perfect."

The boys all nodded. They had a plan ready for action. They all decided tomorrow they would put it in action.

Meanwhile…

Hiei sat in a corner of a dark and musty cell. Rats squeaked and ran across the floor. Hiei looked as the guards walked up and down the hallway carrying spears for any prisoners who were unruly. Hiei had watched a guard stab a demon who kept growling at the guards. The floor was covered in blood.

Hiei sighed as he looked at his wrists that were bounded by chains attached to the wall. Hiei would normally try to release himself. But, the chains sucked his energy out. Not even a spark of energy was formed.

Hiei heard new footsteps approaching his cell. Hiei looked up and saw the hooded figure stare at him.

The hooded figure spoke, " Hello, Forbidden Child…"

Hiei replied with a mere hn.

The guards looked at the figure. One asked what was his business here. But, he never received an answer. The hooded man gripped the guard's neck, clutching it. The guard started to gag. The other guard ran off to report this. The captive guard stopped gagging and went limp.

The hooded figure let go of the corpse and pulled out a dagger, with one strike. The cell bars broke and clanked to the floor. Just as he broke into the cell, a siren went off and shouts of guards ready to terminate the danger. The hooded figure didn't become alarmed and cut off the bounds on Hiei's wrists.

Hiei rubbed his wrists to ease them and says, " Who are you?"

The hooded figure took off his cloak and Hiei stared.

A/N: OH! I'll stop there. It's not too long. But, it's has some action…
