Bellamoura - Oh man, sorry for taking forever to update, school's been a witch and my birthday is in two days, which means mega cramming of the schedule.
Hiei - At least your brother hasn't light the curtains on fire lately.
Bellamoura - Yeah ... thank god. Read and Review!

Yuusuke walked into Hiei's room, followed by Kuwabara, who was pushing Kurama in a wheelchair. Obi-Wan had convinced the nurses to let Kurama have a wheelchair to move around in so they could all talk together. Obi-Wan shut the door behind them, and what they saw made them all give small gasps.
Chiyoko was still sitting in Hiei's lap, asleep with tear-stained cheeks. Hiei, who was still asleep, rested his head on Chiyoko's, his expression peaceful. Obi-Wan and Kurama's expression saddened slightly, before returning to normal, Yuusuke smiled, and Kuwabara laughed. Hiei woke up and gave Kuwabara a glare that shut him up, before looking down to Chiyoko, who stayed asleep. Hiei sweat dropped.
'How could she stay asleep?' He thought, before returning his attention to the rest of the group.
"Did she tell you anything else?" Yuusuke asked, sitting next to Hiei, taking Chiyoko from him so he could stretch.
"Yes, and what she told me I do not like." Hiei stated, stretching out his back before resting against the headboard of the bed. "She said the masters threatened her – with being separated from our group – to never use her dark powers again."
"What?! That's absurd!" Kuwabara yelled, before getting conked on the head by Obi-Wan.
"It may be absurd, but that could also be to our advantage, not using our powers, I mean. If the enemy doesn't know of our powers, than we can use them as a last resort." Obi-Wan stated, sitting across from Hiei.
"Yes, that would be to our advantage, however, it is cruel of them to threaten her like that." Kurama said, his eyes turning gold.
"Down, fox. Turning into Youko won't solve anything. Besides, they have cameras in here." Hiei stated, motioning to a corner of the room. Kurama glanced at them before his eyes returned to green.
"So, what are we going to do? We didn't get any information." Yuusuke questioned.
"Actually, Urameshi, when we were in Damio's office, I snagged a datapad." Kuwabara stated, handing the datapad to Yuusuke. "It says they restored a destroyed undersea Kolto mining field – once used by the republic – and are using it to breed energy demons for our Demon Sith Lord."
"Well, we should show this to the masters, then." Obi-Wan stated, and everyone looked at him. "I don't want to get into any more trouble than necessary."
"Okay . . . we'll show it to them later, after Yoko wakes up and Hiei and Kurama are declared okay." Yuusuke said, and the group nodded.

The group walked back to the ship, Hiei and Kurama had been discharged from the hospital an hour ago. Chiyoko was walking between Hiei and Kurama, Kuwabara behind them and Yuusuke and Obi-Wan in front of them. Chiyoko yawned tiredly, having just woken up.
"So, are we going to show the masters the datapad?" Chiyoko asked, tiredly. Yuusuke turned to look at her.
"How do you know about that? You were asleep when we were talking about it." Yuusuke asked.
"Correction, Yu-kun, I was in a light sleep. Everything you said, my brain registered . . . somewhat." Chiyoko said. "Actually, that was the most logical thing my brain registered. I also thought Kuwabara said something along the lines of pink fuzzy bunnies, but I'm pretty sure that is incorrect." She finished, and everyone chuckled, except Kuwabara, who looked like he just ate a Sour Warhead.
"Oh, come on, Kuwabara, lighten up." Obi-Wan said, smiling, and Kuwabara sighed.
"Ok, fine. At least she didn't say anything about my kitten." Kuwabara stated, glaring off to the side.
"Iyee!! You have a kitty?!" Chiyoko squealed, turning around to face Kuwabara. The other five blinked, before Kuwabara laughed.
"Yup! I do! It's name's Eikichi!" Kuwabara said, and Chiyoko squealed again.
"Aww! How kawaii!"
"Baka onna, stop squealing, it hurts my ears." Hiei said, glaring. Chiyoko huffed.
"You know, there are such things as asking, baka youkai." Chiyoko said, and Yuusuke smirked.
"I guess she's back to normal." Yuusuke said, and Obi-Wan nodded.
"Me, asking? You're out of your mind, baka onna." Hiei retorted, smirking. Chiyoko smirked back.
"Fine, then every time you demand instead of ask, I'm gonna glomp you." Chiyoko smirked.
"You will not glomp me." Hiei said. 'Hey, Kurama, what's a glomp?' Hiei asked telepathically.
"GLOMP!!" Chiyoko yelled, tackling Hiei in a hug. Hiei turned bright red, flustering. Obi-Wan, Yuusuke, and Kuwabara laughed maniacally, and Kurama was biting his thumb to prevent laughing at poor Hiei.
'That, Hiei, is a glomp.' Kurama replied, trying his hardest not to laugh.
'You coulda warned me a little earlier.' Hiei replied, still trying to get out of the glomp. Chiyoko smirked.
"So there, ya see? I will glomp you." Chiyoko said, before getting up and walking ahead towards the ship.
Breakbreakbreakbreak
The group, including the masters, where sitting in the main hold. Chiyoko sat between Yuusuke and Kurama, Obi-Wan next to Master Koth, Master Fisto was sitting next to his padawan, Kuwabara, and Hiei sat on top of one of the computers, much to Master Koth's distress.
"Padawan, get down from there. You are going to fall off." Master Koth reprimanded, and Hiei smirked.
"No I won't." Hiei said in the most childish manner any of the group had heard.
"Yes, Hiei, you will, now get down from there!" Master Koth demanded.
"No."
"Yes."
"No." Hiei said. "Pretty please can I stay up here?" Hiei asked, complete with the trembling lip and puppy dog eyes. Chiyoko and Kurama could not take any more, and burst out laughing. Yuusuke pulled out a camera and took a picture of Hiei's face before joining Chiyoko in rolling on the floor, laughing his lungs out.
Master Koth sputtered, staring at his padawan. "Hiei, are you feeling well?"
"Hn. I'm fine, baka." Hiei retorted, returning to normal, as the group regained their composure.
"Anywho, back to the datapad." Chiyoko stated, acting like nothing had just happened. "Apparently, Kuwabara snagged it off of Damio's desk. There's some rather interesting information on it." What the masters didn't know was that they changed every mention of 'demon' to a 'different race' or 'alien'.
"Yes, there is." Master Fisto stated. "Good job, padawan. However, I am still angry that you six employed such a reckless plan."
"Well, did you have a better idea?" Hiei asked, his voice as cold as ice. Master Fisto spun around to face him, waited a moment, and sighed.
"No, I guess we didn't. But we all were worried for you!" Master Koth stated, and Yuusuke smirked.
"Please. I've had crazier fights that have almost ended with my permanent death, and I didn't need the Force or a lightsaber." Yuusuke stated in the language of the Makai, and the group smirked.
"Damn straight." Chiyoko responded, and the two gave each other a high-five.
"Oh … kay. I'm going to pretend that I understood what you said and move on." Master Fisto said, and the Rekai Tantei smirked.
"Masters, wouldn't it be in our best opportunity to explore the underground facility?" Kurama suggested, and the masters nodded.
"Well, the base actually isn't too far from one of the nearby islands. We could take a boat to the island, then swim to the base." Master Fisto suggested. "That way, it seems less conspicuous."
"Bust Master Fisto, what about the giant sharks?" Obi-Wan questioned, and Chiyoko gulped.
"Giant … Sharks?" Chiyoko questioned, and Obi-Wan and Master Fisto nodded.
"Aww, come on, Yoko. You're afraid of sharks?" Yuusuke asked, nudging Chiyoko in the side of her ribcage.
"Yuusuke, if you fought a shark demon, you'd be afraid of them, too." Chiyoko responded, and Yuusuke gulped, nodding.
"So, do we want to do that?" Master Koth asked, and the group nodded.
"Wouldn't it be wise to split into groups to swim to the base, just to further enforce the idea of tourists diving for treasure?" Chiyoko asked, and Master Fisto thought it over.
"I guess it would be a good idea, especially if they have surveillance on us." Master Fisto responded. "So, we'll leave tomorrow."
Breakbreakbreakbreak
The group woke bright and early the next day. They were walking down to the docks. The masters were dressed in loose brown pants and beige shirts, Yuusuke and Kuwabara were dressed in their school uniforms, Kurama was dressed in a pair of white pants and a matching shirt, Hiei was dressed in black pants and a red wife beater, Obi-Wan was dressed like the masters, and Chiyoko was in a denim skirt and a white wife-beater top. Each of them carried a completely waterproof bag, containing their diving gear and scuba suits, along with their weapons.
The group reached the docks, and rented a boat, quickly traveling to the closest island. There were two cabins on the island, and the group split up, the boys in one cabin, and Chiyoko in the other.
Breakbreakbreakbreak
The boys came out five minutes later, dressed in their scuba suits, strapping their lightsabers, and other weapons, to their suits. Chiyoko walked out of her cabin, pulling her hair up in a high ponytail braid. Chiyoko's suit was black, while the others were blue, and Chiyoko's fit her in all the right places, looking more like a body suit, even with her weapons strapped to her waist. She finished pulling her hair up, and turned to look at the five boys, who where staring at her.
"I can see you all are likin' what you see." She stated dryly, and they snapped back to normality, blushing brightly.
"Chiyoko, maybe next time you should … choose a different cut top." Yuusuke said, motioning to her rather tight-fitting top.
"What? Don't you like my boobs?" Chiyoko asked, and the guys all spluttered and blushed. "You know what, Yuusuke, you just say 'No Comment' and let the question go, ok?"
"Erm … ok. I'll have to remember that." Yuusuke stated, blushing and looking away.
"Well, I see you all are done." The masters said, coming out in their normal outfits, the scuba gear underneath. "We will be picking the partners, ok?" The group nodded.
"Hiei and Obi-Wan, you will be one of the groups," Master Koth stated, "and I will go with you."
"Kuwabara, Yuusuke, and I will be in the second group." Master Fisto stated, "Kurama and Chiyoko, you will be in the last group." The two nodded.
"Now, there is a chasm about twenty meters down and out from this exact spot, we will all meet there, okay. Don't go beyond the chasm, or the sharks will see you, okay?" Master Koth said, and the group nodded, before splitting off, waterproof datapads in hand.
Breakbreakbreakbreak
Hiei, Obi-Wan, and Master Koth were swimming towards the chasm, when Hiei and Obi-Wan dropped back a bit.
'Hiei?' Obi-Wan asked, using the force.
'Hn. What, Obi-Wan?' Hiei responded, scanning his surroundings with the force, wary of the supposed 'giant sharks'.
'Do you like Chiyoko?' Obi-Wan asked, and Hiei nearly face-faulted in the water.
'Hn. What do you care, ningen? If it means anything to you, I have an … extreme liking for her.' Hiei responded, trying to sound uncaring, but failing on the last six syllables.
Obi-Wan smiled slightly, looking over to Hiei. 'I thought so, you two would be cute together.'
'Hn. I'm not cute.' Hiei stated, and Obi-Wan laughed.
'Are you two keeping up?' Master Koth asked quickly.
'Yes, master!' The two replied simultaneously, swimming faster to catch up. In the distance, they could see the three others.
Breakbreakbreakbreak
Kuwabara and Yuusuke had decided to race to the chasm, Master Fisto following behind them. Currently, Kuwabara was trying to catch his breath, while the other two waited quietly, not to attract the attention of the sharks.
Breakbreakbreakbreak
Chiyoko and Kurama swam quickly and quietly. Chiyoko had managed to convince Kurama to braid his hair, so it did not get in his face, and Kurama was grateful for it. Chiyoko kept sweeping the sea around her for anything large with skin and pointy white teeth.
'Yoko-chan, you need to calm down. Your fear will feed them.' Kurama said, looking over to Chiyoko.
'Sorry, Kura-kun. I dislike the ocean enough as it is, and the whole uberly-giant-sharks-thing really freaked me out.' She replied, looking over to Kurama before swimming up next to him. Kurama gave a reassuring smile to her, before swimming ahead.
'Yoko, may I ask a question?' Kurama ventured, and Chiyoko nodded.
'Okay, shoot.'
'Do you like Hiei?' He asked, looking at her. Chiyoko stopped, blushing.
'Like? Like, like-like?' She asked, and Kurama nodded. 'Well … yes, I do. You're not upset, are you?' She asked, and Kurama shook his head.
'No, not at all. You're more like a younger sister.' Kurama replied, and Chiyoko giggled.
'That means you get to give the older-brother-to-younger-sister's-boyfriend speech, you realize?' Chiyoko stated, and Kurama chuckled.
'Yes, but I think Yuusuke has chosen to do that.' Kurama stated.
'Damn straight I do.' Yuusuke cut in, and Chiyoko blushed furiously.
'Damn it, Yuusuke! How long were you listening?!' Chiyoko demanded, blushing furiously.
'Long enough. Where are you two? We're waiting.'
'We're coming, Yuusuke.' Chiyoko stated, and the two swam faster.
Breakbreakbreakbreak
Kurama and Chiyoko reached the reef to find the others waiting for them. 'What took you so long?' Kuwabara asked, and Chiyoko responded.
'Someone was watching us, I think, so we went to the other end of the island.' Chiyoko stated, and Kurama nodded in agreement.
'In that case, be extra careful.' Master Koth stated. 'We will travel together from here. Try your best to be quiet, and do not move too fast. We don't want to fight the sharks.' The group nodded in agreement, and activated the gravity on their suits, so they were walking on the sea floor.
'Kurama, Chiyoko, pull your hair down, it's floating up.' Yuusuke stated. The two pulled their hair into buns.
'Master Fisto, I think we are going the wrong way.' Chiyoko stated, and the group stopped. 'The datapad stated it was less than one kilometer from the Republic Embassy, and we are currently .75 kilometers from the embassy. It should be around here somewhere.'
'Master, I think she is right.' Kuwabara stated.
'Alright, we should not split up. What way do you think we should go?' Master Koth asked, and Hiei jumped in, pointing to the right. The teenagers started walking that way, the masters following Hiei.
The group reached a ravine in a short amount of time. At the bottom was the "abandoned" base, as well as giant sharks patrolling the base of the ravine. The group knelt down at the top of the ravine.
'Well, what now?' Yuusuke asked, and the group peered over the ridge, looking for a back entrance.
'There!' Kuwabara stated, pointing to a hidden entrance at the bottom of the base, too small for the sharks, but big enough for them.
'Good work, Kuwabara. Now, we will all sneak down there and into the entrance.' Yuusuke stated, and the group nodded, carefully sneaking down the ravine, the masters following.
The order eventually went as this: Yuusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, Hiei, Master Koth, Master Fisto, and Chiyoko. The first three made it inside the entrance safely, waiting for the other three. Master Koth, Master Fisto, and Chiyoko snuck in after them.
Breakbreakbreakbreak
The group collected in the underground sector of the base, which was still destroyed, a majority of rooms filled with water. The suits had dried, and now they where looking at the datapad, trying to develop a plan.
"So, which way do we want to go?" Yuusuke asked, and Chiyoko thought for a moment.
"Well, we might want to – dare I say it – split up. There is too much ground to cover in a short amount of time." Obi-Wan stated, and the others groaned.
"No." Chiyoko stated, sternly, and the others looked at her. "Think about it, if there was anything of value on this floor, they'd have gaurds and droids patrolling this area, including the inside of the entrance. No, this floor holds nothing of value, we best proceed up to the next level."
"Well done, padawan Chiyoko." Master Koth stated, looking towards the others. "Chiyoko is right, this floor would have far more security if it did indeed hold the information we seek."
"Then, let's go upstairs!" Kuwabara shouted, before being smacked upside the head by Yuusuke.
Breakbreakbreakbreak
The group crept quietly up the emergency stairs to the next level, not daring to use the elevator, lest they alert the gaurds. They reached the top of the stairs, and walked into the hallway. The group gasped. Strewn about the hallways were remains of Sith soldiers, blood surrounding their bodies and coating the walls. The masters and Obi-Wan looked slightly pale, as well as Kuwabara. Yuusuke looked around, assessing the damage with the other three.
"Yuusuke, they were attacked by demons." Chiyoko stated, examining the claw marks on one of the soldiers.
"They tried to breed to many, and their plans failed." Hiei stated, kicking one of the soldiers. "Baka ningens."
"We need to find these demons and destroy whatever's left. They have all gone insane, you can smell it in their blood." Kurama stated, and the group nodded.
"Master Koth, Master Fisto, they were attacked by what they were trying to breed. We need to find them and destroy them. Judging by the state of rigor mortis on the bodies, they all have probably gone insane and started attacking anything within range, including each other." Kurama stated, and the Masters nodded.
"We need to split up for this one. Also, see if you can find any information on the Sith plans." Master Fisto stated, and, in a flash, all the padawans split into the groups they had in the catacombs of the Jedi Academy, leaving the masters with looks of disbelief on their faces.

Bellamoura - Yay! Chapter 16 done! Woo Hoo!
