Aha! I'm back again. I have 39 pages left in my notebook. That's about 4 or 5 chapters. So, I'm going to start a poll now. Do you want to have me make a sequel?

"Just get on with it." Draco interrupted.

It's an important question! And now I'll answer the reviews.

Yuki Amida: Well, hope you didn't get too bad of a hangover. Thanks for reviewing.

Dra Gan the Dragoniodian King: I completely forgot about having Hiei calm down! My mind is so random, I went straight to something else! I don't think it will be needed, though. This chapter is. . . oh, I don't know.

psycogirl234: Why do you want to take over the world? My friend wanted to take over the world. She got as far as the whole city, then was told to stop.

"Are you done yet?" Draco asked.

Yep, I'm done. And I'm actually doing the disclaimer today too. I do not own anything except Crystal and Shiara. Bursts into tears. I wish I did. That's what you guys can get me for Christmas!


Last time on CS: Hiei and Crystal get ice cream.

Kurama was working in the garden when Botan rushed over. "Shiara's been kidnapped!" she gasped.

Kurama finished patting earth over a winter seed and stood up. "Say that again, slower." He said, brushing his hands off.

"Shiara's… been… kidnapped." Botan said.

"Alright. Go get everyone and tell them. We'll meet in the living room." Kurama said. Botan nodded and turned around. "And Botan? Don't tell Crystal her best friend has been kidnapped. Leave that to me. Get her first."

"Bingo." Botan said before leaving.

Kurama headed for the living room. Crystal had just entered, looking confused. "Kurama, what's wrong? Has something happened?" she asked when she saw him.

"Crys, Shiara's been kidnapped."

"What! Who did it! I'll kill them!" Crystal yelled as Botan led everyone in the room.

"I take it you told her?" Botan asked.

"Botan! Where was she when she was kidnapped?" Crystal asked desperately.

"In the ningenkai" Botan said.

"What was she doing in the ningenkai!" Crystal asked, confused.

"Shopping." Botan replied cheerfully.

"Let me rephrase that. What was she doing in the ningenkai without me?" Crystal asked.

"OK, enough questions from you." Kurama said. "Botan, any idea where she was taken?"

"As a matter of fact, I do." Botan said. She described an old, deserted building Crystal had seen before.

"Who lives there?" Yusuke asked.

"Demons, hanyous, and humans." Botan said. "Let me know when you need a portal there." She left.

Crystal was sitting on the couch, half-listening to the conversation; her head was in her heads. It wasn't until she heard "leave now" that she sat up.

"We should wait 'til nightfall." She said.

"Why wait? We should go now." Yusuke said.

"If we wait for night, then the humans and hanyous will be asleep. We will only have to deal with the demons." Crystal explained.

"Makes sense." Yusuke nodded. "Wait, we? You are not coming with."

"For your information, I am coming, and you can't stop me. I've been training with a sword. I will help." Crystal said hotly.

"Who would train you?" Yusuke asked.

"Hiei." Crystal said. "No more discussion. I've been in the building, I can fight, and my best friend is in danger. I'm coming." She turned and stalked upstairs.

"Have you really been training her?" Yusuke asked, turning to Hiei.

"Hn." Hiei went upstairs as well.

"I'm confused." Kuwabara said. Everyone ignored him.

Crystal was in the middle of changing her shirt when someone knocked on the door. "Two seconds" she called out, pulling her shirt on the rest of the way. Then she went to open the door.

Hiei stood there, holding a scabbard with a sword in it. The belt was wrapped around it. "Revenge." He said simply. He handed the sword to her and left.

Crystal closed the door and pulled the sword out. The hilt was made of two running foxes. The sword curved like a katana. Engraved in it were symbols. It wasn't Japanese. It was Elvish. The whole sword screamed Elvish handwork. Crystal put it in its scabbard.

"Who knew Hiei knew the Elves?" she said to herself as the finished changing. The she tied the scabbard about her waist and went downstairs to wait.

Hiei saw what Crystal was wearing before Kurama did. He smirked. The fox would be in shock for quite a while. 'Fox, look at the door.' He told Kurama telepathically.

Kurama looked up… and froze. Crystal was wearing skin-tight black leather pants. Her shirt was like a red party top. It tied behind her neck. It stopped just before her stomach. She wore leather boots with no heal. A sword hung at her side.

"Kurama, you, Yusuke, and Kuwabara are attracting flies. You might want to close your mouths." She said cheerily as she went to sit on the couch. Kurama quickly sat next to her.

"I thought you didn't wear outfits like that." Kurama said.

"I said I didn't wear dresses or skirts. I wear this sometimes." Crystal said. "Kuwabara! Close you mouth before I do it for you!"

Finally it was time to go. 'Thank god.' Crystal thought. 'A few more minutes of Yusuke and Kuwabara, as well as Hiei threatening to kill me for what Shiara did and I would have gone insane.' They went through a portal to the deserted building. Their plan? Bust in there, find Shiara, bust out, killing whatever you can in the process. Great plan, ne?

They stood in a garden nearby, waiting for full night to fall. Crystal started singing.

"Come on somebody, why don't you run?

Old red's itchin' to have a little fun.

Get my lantern, get my gun

Red'll have you tree'd

'Fore the mornin' come." She sang.

"What's that?" Kurama asked.

"Some song. Don't remember the name of it." Crystal whispered back, shrugging. Silence fell once more, until…

"Now!" Yusuke yelled. Full night had fallen. They ran in the doors.

Crystal pulled out her sword and started killing. She did a backflip now and then to avoid getting hit herself. She didn't care who she was killing; they had all helped kidnap Shiara in her mind.

Suddenly, she came face to face with him. There was the man who raped her, right in front of her. She shook with anger, but couldn't move.


Aha! A cliffy, I think. Dra Gan, is the reference enough? If not, I can think of something to do in the next couple of chapters. I'm talented like that. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Oh, and I do not own the part of a song that I added in. Uh, oh, I think Hiei's comin'. It's hard to tell here, when I'm in my human illusion. Draco, is he coming?

"He's about five feet from your house." Draco replied.

Uh, oh. Gotta go peeps! I'll see you guys next time, if I'm still alive! He hates what I did to him! AHHHHHHHHH! Runs away screaming, leaving the computer chair spinning slowly.
