Chapter Six
'Kami-sama...why does my head hurt so much?' I asked myself as I sat up, looking around,
noticing immediately that I was no longer in the Makai's forest. 'The Ningenkai?' I recognized
some of the trees as ones that grew only in the human world, but I was sure that, when I was
captured, I was in the Makai.
"You're not in the Ningenkai, Hiei-san..." a voice from behind me said quietly, making me whirl
around. I stared at the kitsune for a moment, wondering why the redhead had a small smile on his
face. He sat down next to me, his green eyes never making contact with mine.
"Who are you?" 'Kurama's never called me Hiei-san...' I thought to myself, knowing there was
no way that this place was the Reikai.
"We're not in the Reikai either..." the young man replied, glancing over at me for a moment.
"You're the first person I've met that hasn't been put under the spell completely...I'm not sure
why, but I think it is because of your Jagan eye..."
"Who are you?" I asked again, glaring at him. 'Spell?'
"Who I am isn't important..." the man answered. The similarities between him and Kurama were
uncanny, but, I could, for some reason, tell he wasn't the youko. "This form that I've taken...it is
of someone you care deeply about...I chose this form, knowing you wouldn't attack me...if I
looked like this..."
"What are you?"
"A youkai, like yourself...now, I have a question for you, Hiei-san...it is your decision if you
answer it...but I can hear your every thought..." the Kurama look-alike replied, then looked at me.
"What would you do if...if you were given a second chance?"
"A second chance?"
"Another chance at life...what would you do? Would you admit to your sister who you
are...would you forgive Kuwabara for being an idiot?...would you talk to Kurama? Would you
remain Murkro's heir?" The man's voice matched Kurama's perfectly, his every movement
mirrored Kurama's, but I knew it was just an act.
"In the future...perhaps I will..." I replied truthfully.
"There is no future...for you..." he said quietly, a slight change in his voice. "You may know that
I am not Kurama...but you don't understand everything...you didn't know that you can never
return...to your old life..."
"Why?" I asked, looking at our surroundings. The air carried a faint scent of roses, the wind blew
gently through my hair, I could even feel the warmth of the sunlight on my face, but I could also
feel a youki surrounding me...one that was unfamiliar, but extremely powerful.
"This world isn't real...and all who enter it...never leave..." he replied softly. I remained still for a
moment, in the back of my mind knowing that he was speaking the truth. "I've been here for
centuries...but you've only been here for a few weeks..."
"What is your name?" I felt a change in the wind, now it was more forceful and when I looked up
into the sky, I could see dark clouds, clouds that weren't there a moment ago, blowing by quickly.
"Nani..."
"I must leave now...but, make sure you don't forget that, no matter what...this world isn't real. If
you begin to think of this as reality...that is what it will become for you..." he said, standing up
gracefully. I watched him walk away, wondering who he was.
"Master...the Reikai Tantai are here..." the goblin stated quietly, bowing in front of a large door.
Kuwabara and Yusuke looked at each other, wondering what they had gotten themselves into.
The goblin turned around and stared at them. "The Master will see you now..."
"Do we have to go back through that forest?" Kuwabara asked, following Yusuke and the others
through the metal door. It shut with a loud, echoing clang behind the orange haired ningen,
making all of the spirit detectives jump slightly.
"No...don't worry, Kuwabara...you don't have to go back through that forest..." a deep voice said
from the other side of the dimly lit room. Kuwabara stared into the darkness as a youkai emerged
from the shadows. "You won't ever leave this castle again...alive..."
"Who are you?" Yusuke asked, glaring at the neko-youkai. "And where the hell is Hiei!?"
"Please, calm down, Yusuke Urameshi...the Jaganashi is here...and I am Kiba..." the youkai
bowed slightly, keeping his slitted eyes on Yusuke. He stood back up and sat down in a chair that
was next to the wall. "Sit...I wish to speak about a...truce...one that I'm sure all of you will agree
to..."
"Nani?" Yusuke sat down on the floor, glaring at Kiba. 'This bastard...is he the dream-weaver?
If he's the 'master' then he has to be...' Yusuke thought to himself.
"I will stop my...attack on Reikai detectives...and free the heirs...in return for one
person...Koenma. Give me that brat and I'll be glad to let your...friends live," Kiba replied,
glancing over at Kurama. "I'll even let all of you leave...alive...it's the most generous offer I've
ever made...so I suggest you take it..."
"What's your thing with Koenma?" Yusuke asked curiously, knowing that he wouldn't hand over
his boss...unless he was sure that the dream-weaver wouldn't harm him.
"He ordered the deaths of my clan...for that, he shall die..." Kiba replied, his monotone voice
gaining a little anger and hatred.
"Then, no...there is no deal...I won't trade the life of one friend for another," Yusuke stated,
glaring at Kiba. "Is there anything else you want?"
"Hai...if you are unwilling to trade friends...trade yourselves..." Kiba answered. "I would rather
have Koenma...but all five of you should suffice..."
"Do I look stupid?" Yusuke retorted, standing up. "How can we be sure that you keep up your
side of the deal?"
"Yusuke..." Kuwabara grabbed onto their leader's shirt as the black haired ningen tried to attack
Kiba.
"I think you need to try controlling you temper, Yusuke Urameshi..." Kiba stated cooly. "And,
since I'm in a good mood today, I'll let all of you live...for now. I'll also show you that I will kill
the heirs if I don't get what I want."
Yusuke wondered what he meant by 'show' as the neko-youkai gestured towards one of the
goblins that had been hiding in the shadows. A moment later, another door from the other side of
the room opened and a group of goblins walked into the room, surrounding a much taller figure.
The Reikai Tantai recognized the young heir immediately. 'Shura...' Yusuke thought, racing over
to the youkai and catching him as he fell to the ground.
"Yusuke?" Shura's pink eyes focused on the spirit detective as he sat up, then fell onto his side,
unable to keep himself up.
"I told him not to keep trying to free himself..." Kiba commented, watching as Kurama knelt
down next to Yomi's son, staring at his bleeding arms.
'Wards...no wonder he and Hiei are still here...' Kurama thought to himself, feeling slightly sorry
for the heir as he examined the youkai's tied arms, seeing the deep gashes and burn marks made
by the ropes and wards. "What about Hiei?" Kurama asked outloud, worrying over the small
Koorime.
"The fire youkai is in a little worse condition that him...but he's not...-here- if you know what I
mean, Youko Kurama..." Kiba replied, his answer making Yusuke clench his fists.
"You bastard!" Yusuke said, wishing that he could kill the dream-weaver. 'He...he...put Hiei
under that spell...then...we have to get Hiei out of it...before...' Yusuke didn't want to finish his
thought, knowing that if he began thinking like that, he wouldn't be able to stop himself from
beating the life out of Kiba.
"Don't worry...he's not aging as fast as the others...it must be because of his Jagan...such an
interesting thing, don't you think? An unnatural eye...that gives him psychic powers...and makes
him a -very- powerful youkai..." Kiba stated cooly. "If you want to see him alive again...I suggest
you decide what you're going to do soon...he might not last much longer..."
"He's right...Kurama..." Shura said quietly, trying to sit up on his own again. 'Hiei's
aged...centuries...' the horned youkai thought to himself, picturing the fire demon...the image he
had become accustomed to, not the one that he had been forced to see recently.
"Let us see him," Yusuke demanded. The 'master' laughed slightly as he shook his head.
"You can't see him...unless you pass a...test..." Kiba replied, looking over at Yusuke. "If you can
pass it, you can -have- him back."
"What's the catch?" Kuwabara asked, wondering why Kiba would freely give Hiei up...if they
passed this 'test.'
"No catch...just break free of the dream-weaver's spell...and you can have the heir..." Kiba
answered. Jin and Touya glanced over at each other, knowing that no one had ever broken the
dream-weaver's spell.
"Fine..." Kurama said loudly before anyone else could reply. Touya stared at the kitsune in
disbelief. 'He knows that he'll never escape...so why?' the ice master asked himself, but he knew
the answer. 'I should have known...'
"Are you going to be the only one, Youko Kurama?" Kiba asked, glancing at the rest of the
Reikai Tantai.
"No...I'm going."
"I'm not letting Urameshi and Kurama go alone."
"T' hell I'm gonna let Urameshi 'ave all the fun!"
Touya stared at the four Reikai Tantai who were ready to give their lives, and sighed in defeat. "I
am going as well." 'How could I live...without him?' Touya's eyes landed on Jin and he smiled
slightly at the red-headed youkai. 'Even if he doesn't...know how I feel for him...'
"I'll make sure I send your heads back to Koenma," Kiba commented as the group glared at him.
Kurama blinked his eyes a few times, his eyesight beginning to blacken, then his body started to
go numb. The last thing he thought as he fell to the ground was 'I'm coming, Hiei.'
"Koenma-sama..." one of the ogres said quietly, handing the toddler a remote. Koenma stared at
the black box covered in buttons for a moment, then looked up at the red ogre questioningly.
"It...it's Yusuke and the others...sir...they've...been taken...by the dream-weaver..."
"NANI!!!!!!!!" Koenma's pacifier fell out of his mouth as he stared at the ogre, his eye twitching.
"Could it get any worse...Father is coming to check up on me...in three days..."
"E...enma-sama...is coming..in three...days?!" Botan exclaimed, quivering in fear. 'How could
Yusuke, Kuwabara...Kurama, Jin, and Touya all be taken by the dream-weaver? Kurama and
Touya should have known...should have been able to do something...' Botan thought to herself.
"Hai...is there any other bad news, Ogre?"
"...we found the identity of...the youkai who kidnaped Hiei and Shura...it's Kiba-sama..." the ogre
answered, flinching when he finished.
"K...kiba...oh no...FATHER'S GOING TO KILL MEEEEEE!!!!!" Koenma cried, searching
through a pile of papers, finally finding what he was looking for and handed it to Botan, who had
a confused look on her face.
"Who's Kiba?" she asked as the toddler handed her the paper.
"Read that..." Koenma replied quietly, leaning back in his chair. 'Kiba...he should be dead...he
was supposed to be killed...five hundred years ago...' the toddler thought to himself.
"He was...a warlord..." Botan said, still reading the paper. 'K...Koenma had...his whole army...his
family killed...'
"I had to stop him...if he had gotten any more powerful...he would have taken over the
Makai...then he would have come after the Reikai...or the Ningenkai...I was assured he had been
killed..." Koenma stated. "I felt horrible afterwards, reading the death toll...over four hundred
children...they were his family...
"I didn't know...who was in his army...almost all of them...were young youkai...some not even ten
ningen years old...but all of them were such skilled warriors...I had no other choice..."
"And Kiba was the only one that survived?" Botan asked, glancing over at the deity.
"Yes..."
Authoress: WARNING!!!...this isn't the end to da chapter...I just wanted to WARN you that
YAOI is COMING UP!!!...and if anyone said that I didn't warn ya...*waves ass in front of
'warning'* chew me! Oo...actually, don't...please...Don't kill me please...you know who you are
*cough* Ang *cough* Sam *cough* *cough*
Kurama: do you want a cough drop or something?
Authoress: nah, I'm fine...*salutes theMaven* you didn't say anything against it, so here it
is!...^______^
"Jin?" Touya glanced up at the shinobi, noting the smile on the demon's face. 'Why doesn't he
notice that I...I love him?' Touya asked himself, sighing inwardly. 'I...I've given him enough
hints...but I'm to...afraid to tell him...'
"Touya?" the ice master looked into Jin's eyes at the sound of the youkai's voice. Touya raised
an eyebrow slightly, wondering why his partner had a broad grin on his face. The ice master
pushed his chair back, its legs scraping on the floor, as he turned so he could face the other
shinobi.
"What is it?" Touya asked, smiling at the youkai. 'If he can't feel the same way towards me...then
I will be just a friend...' Touya thought to himself, closing his eyes for a moment. His eyes shot
open when he felt something heavy sit on his lap. 'What the?' Touya asked inwardly as he
blinked a few times, staring into Jin's blue eyes. "Na-" Touya's question was cut off as the red
head pressed his lips against his.
Touya, out of pure shock, opened his mouth. Jin, using his partner's state of shock, let his tongue
dive into the ice master's mouth. Touya snapped back into reality when he felt Jin's hands press
against his...unclothed chest.
His lower body protesting, Touya pushed the red head away, holding him an arm length away
until he was able to breathe again. "Jin...what are you doing?"
"What does it look like I'm doin'?" Jin asked, slowly grinding his lower body against Touya's.
Touya, trying to figure out if Jin was toying with him, or had really fallen in love with him, had
almost forgot about the hardening demon on his lap until Jin began taking off his pants.
"J...jin..." Touya gasped, the wind master's constant grinding and his venturing hands beginning
to affect him.
"Do you want me to stop?" Jin asked, ceasing his molesting of Touya's upper and lower body.
Touya shook his head, positive that he didn't want the youkai to stop his gentle touches and
erotic dance.
Jin, with a impish grin on his face, finished untying Touya's pants, then began sliding them off a
still sitting Touya. The ice master moaned as Jin gave up on his pants, but returned to kissing
Touya. Jin gasped, parting their kiss, when Touya placed his hands on the his knees, slowly
tracing upwards towards his belt.
"Jin...I-" Touya tried, at that moment, to tell the red head how he felt, but Jin's hands, which had
slipped into his pants without his realization, had stopped him. The ice master pressed his
member against Jin's warm hands, surrendering himself to the pleasurable sensations wracking his
body.
"I know..." Jin said quietly, then began sucking on one of Touya's exposed nipples.
'He does? But...he's never...said anything until now...' Touya thought to himself, forcing himself
not to moan in pleasure as Jin began pumping him. "This isn't real..." Touya thought outloud, his
eyes widening in realization.
Jin chuckled, removing his hands from the ice master's pants. "Correct...very good, Reikai
Tantai...I was beginning to wonder if you would figure it out...you pass..."
'The test...' Touya's mind was flooded with recent memories, his mission. "I pass?"
"Hai..." Jin replied, chuckling. "You did much better than I thought...I first thought none of you
would pass..."
"You're not Jin...so who are you?" Touya asked, blushing furiously as he glared at the Jin
impersonator, the warmth in his lower body quickly leaving him. 'I...I almost...' Touya thought to
himself, closing his eyes. When he opened them again, 'Jin' was gone.
"Kazuma..." Yukina glanced over at the orange haired ningen and smiled. "I love you."
"Y...you love me?" Kuwabara could hardly believe his ears, the woman he had loved for
years...she had finally told him her feelings.
"Hai...Let's get married," Yukina said, shocking Kuwabara so much, he fell off of the chair he
was sitting in.
"A...are you sure...you want to?" Kuwabara asked. 'Yukina said she wanted to find her
brother...and only if he accepted her betrothed, would she marry...this can't be for real...'
"You are smarter than you look, Reikai Tantai..." Yukina stated, smiling. "You pass as well..."
'As well?' Kuwabara thought, staring at Yukina. "Who else passed?"
"You'll see..." Yukina replied, standing up. As she walked away from Kuwabara, she glanced
back and smiled. "I'm glad I underestimated you..."
"Keiko..." Yusuke smiled at the ningen woman, her light body lying in his arms, a content
expression on her face.
"What is it, koibito?" Keiko asked, looking up at her lover, stroking his cheek.
"Aishiteru," Yusuke replied quietly, starting to give into his fatigue. 'I don't believe it...Keiko
and I...heh...'
"I love you too, Yusuke..."
'And she loves me...life's good...' Yusuke grinned at this gently kissing Keiko's forehead. 'And
here I was...thinking life always sucks...It just seems too good to be true...' Yusuke pondered for
a moment on his last thought, realizing something. "This isn't real...the mission..."
"The test...very good...you ningens keep surprising me..." Keiko replied. "You pass..."
"Then...you're not Keiko?" Yusuke asked, glaring at the woman he had just made love to.
"No...the others found it out a little faster than you..."
"Others? Everyone else passed?" Yusuke questioned. 'I know Kurama and Touya would
'pass'...whatever this test is supposed to be...but Kuwabara...and Jin...'
"Actually...Kuwabara figured it out faster than the rest of you..." Keiko replied, standing
up. "Already, you have proved me wrong...I hope you Reikai Tantai can keep doing so..."
"Who are you?" Yusuke asked, sitting up. "You're not the dream-weaver...so who are you?"
"No one...just another...prisoner of this place..." Keiko answered quietly, leaving the bedroom.
"C'mon Touya...we've gots to be doin' somethin!" Jin exclaimed, pulling the quiet ice master
behind him.
"Jin...what's gotten into you?" Touya asked, smiling slightly at the red head.
"We're free, Touya...no more shinobi...no more Reikai Tantai..." Jin replied. "We don't have to
do anything for anyone else!!! We've gots to be having some fun!"
"I guess you're right," Touya said, chuckling. "What do you suggest?" Jin smiled as he lifted the
ice master into his arms and shot into the air. Touya clutched his arms, shaking in fear. "Put me
down!" Touya exclaimed, glancing down below them.
"Don't be crazy...that's some fall," Jin replied, laughing. Touya, after a few minutes of flying,
calmed down slightly and loosened his death grip on Jin's arms. "See, it's not that bad."
"I...guess...but you didn't have to grab me and fly off..." Touya retorted, looking back down at
the ground underneath them.
"Would you have come if I didn't?" Jin asked, smirking.
Touya shook his head, laughing. "No...you know I'm afraid of heights."
"Well, you best be getting over it!" Jin pointed out, his smile widening. 'Touya told me when we
first met...when I first be taking him up into the sky...he didn't like heights...ever since then...he's
been makin' sure I don't fly him off anywhere...' Jin thought to himself. 'All I wanted was to let
him see...everything...'
"What is it?" Touya asked, looking up at Jin.
"Do you love me, Touya?" Jin questioned, glancing down at the youkai in his arms.
"I...I think so..." Touya replied.
"The Touya I know was always bein' sure of everythin'..." Jin commented, getting a laugh from
Touya. "Nani?"
"Very good..." Touya answered, smiling. "Now I can see why all of you are the best Reikai
Tantai Koenma has. You pass, Jin..."
"Pass?" Jin asked, remembering what he was supposed to be doing. "Where's everyone else?"
"You'll see..." Touya replied. Jin stared at the ice master, his eyes widening as he watched Touya
-fade- away until there was nothing in his arms.
Kurama groaned, cracking one eye open to look around his room. He finally found the reason he
had been so rudely awoken. He hit the offensive alarm clock until he found the snooze button,
then curled back underneath his sheets, praying for a few more minutes of sleep in his warm bed.
He froze when he felt a warm body lying next to his own. Kurama ripped the sheets off of his bed
and smiled, staring at the sleeping Koorime.
"Hn...Kitsune no baka..." Hiei mumbled sleepily, blindly grabbing for the sheets. Kurama sighed
pulling the sheets up to the fire youkai's chin. Hiei purred as he turned, wrapping his small arms
around Kurama's midsection.
'What happened?' Kurama asked himself, staring down at the cuddly fire demon. 'Hiei's anything
but...cuddly...why IS he purring?' Kurama asked himself, listening to the soothing rumbling
coming from Hiei.
"Hiei?"
"Nani...can't I sleep?" Hiei asked, opening his red eyes to look at Kurama. "What is it?"
"What happened...between us?" Kurama questioned nervously. 'Hiei doesn't seem...forced...or
angry at me...so I couldn't have done anything unchaste with him...'
"I'll show you, kitsune..." Hiei replied seductively, pushing Kurama onto the bed and straddled his
waist. Kurama groaned, his lower body already responding to the small Koorime on top of him.
"Hiei..." Kurama stared at the fire youkai, letting his hands roam up Hiei's thighs, and onto the
Koorime's small rear.
"Fuck me, Kurama," Hiei said, rubbing his lower body against Kurama's hardening member.
Kurama, happy to oblige, flipped over, pulling Hiei beneath him. The youkai smirked as he
pressed his lips against Kurama's, bruising the kitsune's mouth, but Kurama didn't mind at that
moment, while Hiei had captured his mouth in a deep, passionate kiss.
Kurama felt Hiei's small hands moving across his back and chest, gently scraping his nails on the
youko's skin, but he still left large pink scratches. He furrowed his eyebrows when Hiei began
sliding down the bed, but figured out what the Koorime had in mind when he began running his
tongue down his hardened shaft.
'Hiei...he...why?' He asked himself, looking down at the Koorime between his thin legs.
'He...how...he couldn't have forgiven me...' Kurama thought, disbelief racing though his head.
'This can't be...' Kurama's green eyes widened as he sat back, pushing Hiei away.
"You've found out as well...good..." Hiei said, smiling. "It took you the longest to figure it out...I
was beginning to wonder if you would put it together at all..."
"Who are you?" Kurama asked, glaring at the nude fire youkai between his legs. 'Hiei' smirked,
shaking his head. "Nani?"
"I'm no one of importance..." the Hiei imposter replied. "Now that all of you have finished
this...assessment...you can try to pass the real test..."
'This...this wasn't the test?' Kurama asked inwardly, wondering what the real test could be. 'At
least everyone else...passed...this youkai's test...'
"Come with me...and I'll show you what you must do to save Hiei-san..." the Koorime said
quietly, his voice sounding slightly higher than Hiei's ever was. "And, I wish you luck...Hiei-san
seems like a nice person...I don't want him to be stuck here...like me..." The short youkai stood
up and held out his hand for Kurama. For a moment, the kitsune stared at him curiously, then got
out of the bed and looked for his clothes, blushing slightly.

Chapter Six
'Kami-sama...why does my head hurt so much?' I asked myself as I sat up, looking around,
noticing immediately that I was no longer in the Makai's forest. 'The Ningenkai?' I recognized
some of the trees as ones that grew only in the human world, but I was sure that, when I was
captured, I was in the Makai.
"You're not in the Ningenkai, Hiei-san..." a voice from behind me said quietly, making me whirl
around. I stared at the kitsune for a moment, wondering why the redhead had a small smile on his
face. He sat down next to me, his green eyes never making contact with mine.
"Who are you?" 'Kurama's never called me Hiei-san...' I thought to myself, knowing there was
no way that this place was the Reikai.
"We're not in the Reikai either..." the young man replied, glancing over at me for a moment.
"You're the first person I've met that hasn't been put under the spell completely...I'm not sure
why, but I think it is because of your Jagan eye..."
"Who are you?" I asked again, glaring at him. 'Spell?'
"Who I am isn't important..." the man answered. The similarities between him and Kurama were
uncanny, but, I could, for some reason, tell he wasn't the youko. "This form that I've taken...it is
of someone you care deeply about...I chose this form, knowing you wouldn't attack me...if I
looked like this..."
"What are you?"
"A youkai, like yourself...now, I have a question for you, Hiei-san...it is your decision if you
answer it...but I can hear your every thought..." the Kurama look-alike replied, then looked at me.
"What would you do if...if you were given a second chance?"
"A second chance?"
"Another chance at life...what would you do? Would you admit to your sister who you
are...would you forgive Kuwabara for being an idiot?...would you talk to Kurama? Would you
remain Murkro's heir?" The man's voice matched Kurama's perfectly, his every movement
mirrored Kurama's, but I knew it was just an act.
"In the future...perhaps I will..." I replied truthfully.
"There is no future...for you..." he said quietly, a slight change in his voice. "You may know that
I am not Kurama...but you don't understand everything...you didn't know that you can never
return...to your old life..."
"Why?" I asked, looking at our surroundings. The air carried a faint scent of roses, the wind blew
gently through my hair, I could even feel the warmth of the sunlight on my face, but I could also
feel a youki surrounding me...one that was unfamiliar, but extremely powerful.
"This world isn't real...and all who enter it...never leave..." he replied softly. I remained still for a
moment, in the back of my mind knowing that he was speaking the truth. "I've been here for
centuries...but you've only been here for a few weeks..."
"What is your name?" I felt a change in the wind, now it was more forceful and when I looked up
into the sky, I could see dark clouds, clouds that weren't there a moment ago, blowing by quickly.
"Nani..."
"I must leave now...but, make sure you don't forget that, no matter what...this world isn't real. If
you begin to think of this as reality...that is what it will become for you..." he said, standing up
gracefully. I watched him walk away, wondering who he was.
"Master...the Reikai Tantai are here..." the goblin stated quietly, bowing in front of a large door.
Kuwabara and Yusuke looked at each other, wondering what they had gotten themselves into.
The goblin turned around and stared at them. "The Master will see you now..."
"Do we have to go back through that forest?" Kuwabara asked, following Yusuke and the others
through the metal door. It shut with a loud, echoing clang behind the orange haired ningen,
making all of the spirit detectives jump slightly.
"No...don't worry, Kuwabara...you don't have to go back through that forest..." a deep voice said
from the other side of the dimly lit room. Kuwabara stared into the darkness as a youkai emerged
from the shadows. "You won't ever leave this castle again...alive..."
"Who are you?" Yusuke asked, glaring at the neko-youkai. "And where the hell is Hiei!?"
"Please, calm down, Yusuke Urameshi...the Jaganashi is here...and I am Kiba..." the youkai
bowed slightly, keeping his slitted eyes on Yusuke. He stood back up and sat down in a chair that
was next to the wall. "Sit...I wish to speak about a...truce...one that I'm sure all of you will agree
to..."
"Nani?" Yusuke sat down on the floor, glaring at Kiba. 'This bastard...is he the dream-weaver?
If he's the 'master' then he has to be...' Yusuke thought to himself.
"I will stop my...attack on Reikai detectives...and free the heirs...in return for one
person...Koenma. Give me that brat and I'll be glad to let your...friends live," Kiba replied,
glancing over at Kurama. "I'll even let all of you leave...alive...it's the most generous offer I've
ever made...so I suggest you take it..."
"What's your thing with Koenma?" Yusuke asked curiously, knowing that he wouldn't hand over
his boss...unless he was sure that the dream-weaver wouldn't harm him.
"He ordered the deaths of my clan...for that, he shall die..." Kiba replied, his monotone voice
gaining a little anger and hatred.
"Then, no...there is no deal...I won't trade the life of one friend for another," Yusuke stated,
glaring at Kiba. "Is there anything else you want?"
"Hai...if you are unwilling to trade friends...trade yourselves..." Kiba answered. "I would rather
have Koenma...but all five of you should suffice..."
"Do I look stupid?" Yusuke retorted, standing up. "How can we be sure that you keep up your
side of the deal?"
"Yusuke..." Kuwabara grabbed onto their leader's shirt as the black haired ningen tried to attack
Kiba.
"I think you need to try controlling you temper, Yusuke Urameshi..." Kiba stated cooly. "And,
since I'm in a good mood today, I'll let all of you live...for now. I'll also show you that I will kill
the heirs if I don't get what I want."
Yusuke wondered what he meant by 'show' as the neko-youkai gestured towards one of the
goblins that had been hiding in the shadows. A moment later, another door from the other side of
the room opened and a group of goblins walked into the room, surrounding a much taller figure.
The Reikai Tantai recognized the young heir immediately. 'Shura...' Yusuke thought, racing over
to the youkai and catching him as he fell to the ground.
"Yusuke?" Shura's pink eyes focused on the spirit detective as he sat up, then fell onto his side,
unable to keep himself up.
"I told him not to keep trying to free himself..." Kiba commented, watching as Kurama knelt
down next to Yomi's son, staring at his bleeding arms.
'Wards...no wonder he and Hiei are still here...' Kurama thought to himself, feeling slightly sorry
for the heir as he examined the youkai's tied arms, seeing the deep gashes and burn marks made
by the ropes and wards. "What about Hiei?" Kurama asked outloud, worrying over the small
Koorime.
"The fire youkai is in a little worse condition that him...but he's not...-here- if you know what I
mean, Youko Kurama..." Kiba replied, his answer making Yusuke clench his fists.
"You bastard!" Yusuke said, wishing that he could kill the dream-weaver. 'He...he...put Hiei
under that spell...then...we have to get Hiei out of it...before...' Yusuke didn't want to finish his
thought, knowing that if he began thinking like that, he wouldn't be able to stop himself from
beating the life out of Kiba.
"Don't worry...he's not aging as fast as the others...it must be because of his Jagan...such an
interesting thing, don't you think? An unnatural eye...that gives him psychic powers...and makes
him a -very- powerful youkai..." Kiba stated cooly. "If you want to see him alive again...I suggest
you decide what you're going to do soon...he might not last much longer..."
"He's right...Kurama..." Shura said quietly, trying to sit up on his own again. 'Hiei's
aged...centuries...' the horned youkai thought to himself, picturing the fire demon...the image he
had become accustomed to, not the one that he had been forced to see recently.
"Let us see him," Yusuke demanded. The 'master' laughed slightly as he shook his head.
"You can't see him...unless you pass a...test..." Kiba replied, looking over at Yusuke. "If you can
pass it, you can -have- him back."
"What's the catch?" Kuwabara asked, wondering why Kiba would freely give Hiei up...if they
passed this 'test.'
"No catch...just break free of the dream-weaver's spell...and you can have the heir..." Kiba
answered. Jin and Touya glanced over at each other, knowing that no one had ever broken the
dream-weaver's spell.
"Fine..." Kurama said loudly before anyone else could reply. Touya stared at the kitsune in
disbelief. 'He knows that he'll never escape...so why?' the ice master asked himself, but he knew
the answer. 'I should have known...'
"Are you going to be the only one, Youko Kurama?" Kiba asked, glancing at the rest of the
Reikai Tantai.
"No...I'm going."
"I'm not letting Urameshi and Kurama go alone."
"T' hell I'm gonna let Urameshi 'ave all the fun!"
Touya stared at the four Reikai Tantai who were ready to give their lives, and sighed in defeat. "I
am going as well." 'How could I live...without him?' Touya's eyes landed on Jin and he smiled
slightly at the red-headed youkai. 'Even if he doesn't...know how I feel for him...'
"I'll make sure I send your heads back to Koenma," Kiba commented as the group glared at him.
Kurama blinked his eyes a few times, his eyesight beginning to blacken, then his body started to
go numb. The last thing he thought as he fell to the ground was 'I'm coming, Hiei.'
"Koenma-sama..." one of the ogres said quietly, handing the toddler a remote. Koenma stared at
the black box covered in buttons for a moment, then looked up at the red ogre questioningly.
"It...it's Yusuke and the others...sir...they've...been taken...by the dream-weaver..."
"NANI!!!!!!!!" Koenma's pacifier fell out of his mouth as he stared at the ogre, his eye twitching.
"Could it get any worse...Father is coming to check up on me...in three days..."
"E...enma-sama...is coming..in three...days?!" Botan exclaimed, quivering in fear. 'How could
Yusuke, Kuwabara...Kurama, Jin, and Touya all be taken by the dream-weaver? Kurama and
Touya should have known...should have been able to do something...' Botan thought to herself.
"Hai...is there any other bad news, Ogre?"
"...we found the identity of...the youkai who kidnaped Hiei and Shura...it's Kiba-sama..." the ogre
answered, flinching when he finished.
"K...kiba...oh no...FATHER'S GOING TO KILL MEEEEEE!!!!!" Koenma cried, searching
through a pile of papers, finally finding what he was looking for and handed it to Botan, who had
a confused look on her face.
"Who's Kiba?" she asked as the toddler handed her the paper.
"Read that..." Koenma replied quietly, leaning back in his chair. 'Kiba...he should be dead...he
was supposed to be killed...five hundred years ago...' the toddler thought to himself.
"He was...a warlord..." Botan said, still reading the paper. 'K...Koenma had...his whole army...his
family killed...'
"I had to stop him...if he had gotten any more powerful...he would have taken over the
Makai...then he would have come after the Reikai...or the Ningenkai...I was assured he had been
killed..." Koenma stated. "I felt horrible afterwards, reading the death toll...over four hundred
children...they were his family...
"I didn't know...who was in his army...almost all of them...were young youkai...some not even ten
ningen years old...but all of them were such skilled warriors...I had no other choice..."
"And Kiba was the only one that survived?" Botan asked, glancing over at the deity.
"Yes..."

"Jin?" Touya glanced up at the shinobi, noting the smile on the demon's face. 'Why doesn't he
notice that I...I love him?' Touya asked himself, sighing inwardly. 'I...I've given him enough
hints...but I'm to...afraid to tell him...'
"Touya?" the ice master looked into Jin's eyes at the sound of the youkai's voice. Touya raised
an eyebrow slightly, wondering why his partner had a broad grin on his face. The ice master
pushed his chair back, its legs scraping on the floor, as he turned so he could face the other
shinobi.
"What is it?" Touya asked, smiling at the youkai. 'If he can't feel the same way towards me...then
I will be just a friend...' Touya thought to himself, closing his eyes for a moment. His eyes shot
open when he felt something heavy sit on his lap. 'What the?' Touya asked inwardly as he
blinked a few times, staring into Jin's blue eyes. "Na-" Touya's question was cut off as the red
head pressed his lips against his.
Touya, out of pure shock, opened his mouth. Jin, using his partner's state of shock, let his tongue
dive into the ice master's mouth. Touya snapped back into reality when he felt Jin's hands press
against his...unclothed chest.
His lower body protesting, Touya pushed the red head away, holding him an arm length away
until he was able to breathe again. "Jin...what are you doing?"
"What does it look like I'm doin'?" Jin asked, slowly grinding his lower body against Touya's.
Touya, trying to figure out if Jin was toying with him, or had really fallen in love with him, had
almost forgot about the hardening demon on his lap until Jin began taking off his pants.
"J...jin..." Touya gasped, the wind master's constant grinding and his venturing hands beginning
to affect him.
"Do you want me to stop?" Jin asked, ceasing his molesting of Touya's upper and lower body.
Touya shook his head, positive that he didn't want the youkai to stop his gentle touches and
erotic dance.
Jin, with a impish grin on his face, finished untying Touya's pants, then began sliding them off a
still sitting Touya. The ice master moaned as Jin gave up on his pants, but returned to kissing
Touya. Jin gasped, parting their kiss, when Touya placed his hands on the his knees, slowly
tracing upwards towards his belt.
"Jin...I-" Touya tried, at that moment, to tell the red head how he felt, but Jin's hands, which had
slipped into his pants without his realization, had stopped him. The ice master pressed his
member against Jin's warm hands, surrendering himself to the pleasurable sensations wracking his
body.
"I know..." Jin said quietly, then began sucking on one of Touya's exposed nipples.
'He does? But...he's never...said anything until now...' Touya thought to himself, forcing himself
not to moan in pleasure as Jin began pumping him. "This isn't real..." Touya thought outloud, his
eyes widening in realization.
Jin chuckled, removing his hands from the ice master's pants. "Correct...very good, Reikai
Tantai...I was beginning to wonder if you would figure it out...you pass..."
'The test...' Touya's mind was flooded with recent memories, his mission. "I pass?"
"Hai..." Jin replied, chuckling. "You did much better than I thought...I first thought none of you
would pass..."
"You're not Jin...so who are you?" Touya asked, blushing furiously as he glared at the Jin
impersonator, the warmth in his lower body quickly leaving him. 'I...I almost...' Touya thought to
himself, closing his eyes. When he opened them again, 'Jin' was gone.
"Kazuma..." Yukina glanced over at the orange haired ningen and smiled. "I love you."
"Y...you love me?" Kuwabara could hardly believe his ears, the woman he had loved for
years...she had finally told him her feelings.
"Hai...Let's get married," Yukina said, shocking Kuwabara so much, he fell off of the chair he
was sitting in.
"A...are you sure...you want to?" Kuwabara asked. 'Yukina said she wanted to find her
brother...and only if he accepted her betrothed, would she marry...this can't be for real...'
"You are smarter than you look, Reikai Tantai..." Yukina stated, smiling. "You pass as well..."
'As well?' Kuwabara thought, staring at Yukina. "Who else passed?"
"You'll see..." Yukina replied, standing up. As she walked away from Kuwabara, she glanced
back and smiled. "I'm glad I underestimated you..."
"Keiko..." Yusuke smiled at the ningen woman, her light body lying in his arms, a content
expression on her face.
"What is it, koibito?" Keiko asked, looking up at her lover, stroking his cheek.
"Aishiteru," Yusuke replied quietly, starting to give into his fatigue. 'I don't believe it...Keiko
and I...heh...'
"I love you too, Yusuke..."
'And she loves me...life's good...' Yusuke grinned at this gently kissing Keiko's forehead. 'And
here I was...thinking life always sucks...It just seems too good to be true...' Yusuke pondered for
a moment on his last thought, realizing something. "This isn't real...the mission..."
"The test...very good...you ningens keep surprising me..." Keiko replied. "You pass..."
"Then...you're not Keiko?" Yusuke asked, glaring at the woman he had just made love to.
"No...the others found it out a little faster than you..."
"Others? Everyone else passed?" Yusuke questioned. 'I know Kurama and Touya would
'pass'...whatever this test is supposed to be...but Kuwabara...and Jin...'
"Actually...Kuwabara figured it out faster than the rest of you..." Keiko replied, standing
up. "Already, you have proved me wrong...I hope you Reikai Tantai can keep doing so..."
"Who are you?" Yusuke asked, sitting up. "You're not the dream-weaver...so who are you?"
"No one...just another...prisoner of this place..." Keiko answered quietly, leaving the bedroom.
"C'mon Touya...we've gots to be doin' somethin!" Jin exclaimed, pulling the quiet ice master
behind him.
"Jin...what's gotten into you?" Touya asked, smiling slightly at the red head.
"We're free, Touya...no more shinobi...no more Reikai Tantai..." Jin replied. "We don't have to
do anything for anyone else!!! We've gots to be having some fun!"
"I guess you're right," Touya said, chuckling. "What do you suggest?" Jin smiled as he lifted the
ice master into his arms and shot into the air. Touya clutched his arms, shaking in fear. "Put me
down!" Touya exclaimed, glancing down below them.
"Don't be crazy...that's some fall," Jin replied, laughing. Touya, after a few minutes of flying,
calmed down slightly and loosened his death grip on Jin's arms. "See, it's not that bad."
"I...guess...but you didn't have to grab me and fly off..." Touya retorted, looking back down at
the ground underneath them.
"Would you have come if I didn't?" Jin asked, smirking.
Touya shook his head, laughing. "No...you know I'm afraid of heights."
"Well, you best be getting over it!" Jin pointed out, his smile widening. 'Touya told me when we
first met...when I first be taking him up into the sky...he didn't like heights...ever since then...he's
been makin' sure I don't fly him off anywhere...' Jin thought to himself. 'All I wanted was to let
him see...everything...'
"What is it?" Touya asked, looking up at Jin.
"Do you love me, Touya?" Jin questioned, glancing down at the youkai in his arms.
"I...I think so..." Touya replied.
"The Touya I know was always bein' sure of everythin'..." Jin commented, getting a laugh from
Touya. "Nani?"
"Very good..." Touya answered, smiling. "Now I can see why all of you are the best Reikai
Tantai Koenma has. You pass, Jin..."
"Pass?" Jin asked, remembering what he was supposed to be doing. "Where's everyone else?"
"You'll see..." Touya replied. Jin stared at the ice master, his eyes widening as he watched Touya
-fade- away until there was nothing in his arms.
Kurama groaned, cracking one eye open to look around his room. He finally found the reason he
had been so rudely awoken. He hit the offensive alarm clock until he found the snooze button,
then curled back underneath his sheets, praying for a few more minutes of sleep in his warm bed.
He froze when he felt a warm body lying next to his own. Kurama ripped the sheets off of his bed
and smiled, staring at the sleeping Koorime.
"Hn...Kitsune no baka..." Hiei mumbled sleepily, blindly grabbing for the sheets. Kurama sighed
pulling the sheets up to the fire youkai's chin. Hiei purred as he turned, wrapping his small arms
around Kurama's midsection.
'What happened?' Kurama asked himself, staring down at the cuddly fire demon. 'Hiei's anything
but...cuddly...why IS he purring?' Kurama asked himself, listening to the soothing rumbling
coming from Hiei.
"Hiei?"
"Nani...can't I sleep?" Hiei asked, opening his red eyes to look at Kurama. "What is it?"
"What happened...between us?" Kurama questioned nervously. 'Hiei doesn't seem...forced...or
angry at me...so I couldn't have done anything unchaste with him...'
"I'll show you, kitsune..." Hiei replied seductively, pushing Kurama onto the bed and straddled his
waist. Kurama groaned, his lower body already responding to the small Koorime on top of him.
"Hiei..." Kurama stared at the fire youkai, letting his hands roam up Hiei's thighs, and onto the
Koorime's small rear.
"Fuck me, Kurama," Hiei said, rubbing his lower body against Kurama's hardening member.
Kurama, happy to oblige, flipped over, pulling Hiei beneath him. The youkai smirked as he
pressed his lips against Kurama's, bruising the kitsune's mouth, but Kurama didn't mind at that
moment, while Hiei had captured his mouth in a deep, passionate kiss.
Kurama felt Hiei's small hands moving across his back and chest, gently scraping his nails on the
youko's skin, but he still left large pink scratches. He furrowed his eyebrows when Hiei began
sliding down the bed, but figured out what the Koorime had in mind when he began running his
tongue down his hardened shaft.
'Hiei...he...why?' He asked himself, looking down at the Koorime between his thin legs.
'He...how...he couldn't have forgiven me...' Kurama thought, disbelief racing though his head.
'This can't be...' Kurama's green eyes widened as he sat back, pushing Hiei away.
"You've found out as well...good..." Hiei said, smiling. "It took you the longest to figure it out...I
was beginning to wonder if you would put it together at all..."
"Who are you?" Kurama asked, glaring at the nude fire youkai between his legs. 'Hiei' smirked,
shaking his head. "Nani?"
"I'm no one of importance..." the Hiei imposter replied. "Now that all of you have finished
this...assessment...you can try to pass the real test..."
'This...this wasn't the test?' Kurama asked inwardly, wondering what the real test could be. 'At
least everyone else...passed...this youkai's test...'
"Come with me...and I'll show you what you must do to save Hiei-san..." the Koorime said
quietly, his voice sounding slightly higher than Hiei's ever was. "And, I wish you luck...Hiei-san
seems like a nice person...I don't want him to be stuck here...like me..." The short youkai stood
up and held out his hand for Kurama. For a moment, the kitsune stared at him curiously, then got
out of the bed and looked for his clothes, blushing slightly.
