Insaneningen14: yay, I got two reviews!
Chapter 2:
-(With the Spirit Detectives)-
"Why couldn't we have just looked for some stairs?" groaned Kuwabara.
"Because that would have taken too long," Kurama responded. "This is faster."
"It would have been less dangerous though!"
"How do you know whether there are guards at every staircase?" snapped Hiei. "Just quit your whining and keep your mouth shut."
Kuwabara grumbled, clinging onto the vine more tightly than ever, causing it to creak ominously. "Are you sure this won't snap?" he asked tentatively.
"SHUT UP!" Yusuke's and Hiei's combined voices echoed through the elevator shaft in which they were suspended.
"Be quiet!" Kurama hissed. "Guards might hear us!" He then directed his speech to Kuwabara. "I assure you, Kuwabara, it is perfectly stable and able to support us."
"I found them!" They looked down to see a guard standing in an elevator entrance. "They're in the elevator shaft!"
"Take them down!" came a static-filled response from the radio the guard held to his ears. "I'll send reinforcements!"
"Yes sir!" The guard raised his gun to take aim at the person closest to him, which was Kurama.
"Drop Kurama!" shouted Hiei. He obeyed, letting go of the vine and dropping down. The guard turned his weapon on Hiei instead. Hiei swung to and fro, rebounding off the vine to tackle the guard. He quickly knocked him out.
"You all right Kurama?" shouted Yusuke.
"Quite!" came his response. "Come down here!"
The duo of humans slid down the vine, which had grown longer under Kurama's influence. Hiei followed, landing with a thump.
"Help me open the door." Kurama stopped Yusuke from shooting his rei gun. "Unless you can keep it controlled, no." Yusuke grumbled.
"I can do it!" Kuwabara stepped in, slicing out the doors using his spirit sword.
"Congratulations to the idiot." Hiei swept past.
"WHAT WAS THAT SHORTY!"
"Shut up, you're going to attract more guards, which is amazing, seeing as you're so ugly," responded Hiei.
"Be quiet you two." The foursome began walking down the hallway. This level, unlike the others, was not made us stone. It was white, and they could hear the hum of technology from different doorways. Flashes of light were emitted from the bottom of the doorway to their right. Silently, they entered.
A demon glanced up, dressed in a white lab coat. He looked human, but a line of flesh colored horns decorated his skull. "Are you the new sponsors?" he asked, looking them over.
"Umm……" They looked at one another. The scientist glanced suspiciously at them.
"Yes." Kurama took over. "These are my colleagues. We've come to look at what you offer."
The demon nodded. "Come with me." He pulled back a curtain to reveal a glass box. They could hardly see through it, because mist and other vapors swirled around in it.
"Is this it?"
"No, no." The demon pressed a button on the side, and it began to vent out inside. They could make out a form sitting against the side. "Something much better."
"We have been experimenting with her. She has, like her father, Lord Osamu, powers over water and electricity. But he won't let us know any other of her powers, sadly."
"So what are you trying to do to her?" Kuwabara asked.
"What do you mean?" The demon looked disbelievingly at him. "You should know what we're doing here. That's why you came."
"Of course we do." Yusuke tried to make up for his friend's slip up. "This little idiot here isn't as informed as us."
"I'm sorry to say this, but I don't believe you. I'm afraid I will have to call the guards." He pressed a different button.
"Yes?" The same voice of the commander crackled over the intercom system.
"I have four strangers here in the lab. I do believe they are intruders."
"I will send some men immediately." In the background, they could hear him yelling "They're down on the bottom deck in the lab! Move!"
"You idiot," snarled Hiei.
Kurama sighed. "How many?"
"Forty. He's draining off his guards to get us."
"There they are!" The demons pointed their guns and other various weapons at the tantai.
"Who's going to get the girl?" Yusuke asked out of the corner of his mouth.
"Hn." The heavy glass suddenly shattered- the girl's eyes snapped open.
-(Yuki's POV)-
'What's happening?' I feel the thick mist being ventilated. But I don't want to open my eyes. I can't really hear the voices accurately, but I don't bother looking to try and find the source of them either. Now there's shouting, and the glass cage shattered.
"Get up." A strange man. I just stare at him. Spiky hair, blood red eyes, and carrying a drawn sword.
"I told you to get up."
I scrambled up. "Who are you?"
"You don't have to know."
OO; 'Ooh- cold as father.' I sneak another glance at him. He glares back. 'What a strange man.'
"Shoot!" The guns held by the guards instantly released multiple bullets. A bullet whistled past my head- the man had grabbed me out of the way.
"Don't hurt the girl!" The shots were discharged thereafter more warily.
"Move, unless you want to get shot," snarled the man. "Kurama, let's get out of here already."
"As you can see Hiei, we're slightly busy," responded a long-haired redhead (now know to me as Kurama). "Rose Whip Wheel!" Several guards were taken down by his weapon, a long whip covered in thorns.
"What's going on?" I asked again.
"Don't worry. We're going to get you out of here," he assured me.
'Why would I want to leave?'
"I want to know-"
"Baka. Just shut up." He- no, Hiei leapt forward and engaged himself in battle, along with the three others. One with black hair, dressed in a green uniform, and another, dressed in a blue uniform, with a tall and awkward form and curly orange hair. And Kurama.
'I have no clue about them, why should I go with them?' I slowly back away, towards my cage, trying to hide in the jagged remainders of my refuge. There were only about eighteen guards left. After a crackly message from the radio, they retreated.
"Where is she?"
"There." I cracked an eye open, watching warily. Hiei started towards me with a growl.
"Go away."
He didn't listen, grabbing me by the arm and forcefully dragging me with him.
"Let go of me!"
"Baka." He hit me over the head. Instantly I started to black out. The things got fuzzier and melted into darkness as I slumped to the floor.
(Normal POV)
"Let's get her out to the portal," Kurama said calmly. Hiei was carrying Yuki in his arms. The Spirit Detectives filed out onto the ground level, aware but seeing no more guards.
"Where the hell did everyone go?" asked Kuwabara, confused. "It's freaking me out."
"Their commander pulled them back. They are saving their men- trying to take her back would just be a futile attempt," stated Hiei.
"Still… Kuwabara is right. Something feels kinda strange," Yusuke ventured, walking across the grounds with his friends.
A dark figure watched them from a window. His huge form turned to where another demon sat. "We'll let them go, ne?" He drew back his hood, revealing bronzed skin. A small white horn (1) protruded from his dark jet hair that barely reached his shoulders, often brushing them, and completely black eyes (no whites, the iris and the rest of the eye undistinguishable from the other) watched another intently.
"Yes. I have my solution and no longer need her." Lord Osamu rested in his chair. "All I have to do now is to regain my strength. Then I will help you Ichiro."
