The Sea Prince

Chapter 8

There was a tense silence for a moment before Hiei started to shake and Yusuke grabbed his ribs and clenched his teeth together. The assassin smirked "So you've heard of me. Are you ready to piss your pants now?" Poison Peach boy stated cockily. He stared at the 2 then frowned immediately. Yusuke suddenly bent over, tears overflowing from his eyes as he laughed his head off. He then fell to the ground and started banging his fist against the boat. Hiei was a little more dignified and started laughing behind his hand, his sword still up though.

Poison Peach boy clenched his fists and teeth together, his face showing nothing more then pure fury. "WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING ABOUT!!!?" He yelled at the 2 and Hiei was able to stop his laughter mostly, and put on his cocky, evil little grin everyone knows. Yusuke was finally able to get off the ground and smiled barely able to keep in his laughter.

"Nothing Peachy, but I have a question for you, was 'puffy pumpkin' and poppy cake stolen before you chose your name?" Yusuke said and started to laugh and Hiei rolled his eyes.

"Idiot detective, he's probably that assassin who kills people by telling them his name, and then watches as his targets laugh themselves until they've pissed their pants and die. That must be the reasoning for having such an idiotic name." Hiei said smirking. Yusuke nodded, his idiotic grin plastered onto his face.

"Of course, but don't torment him so much, he might throw peach juice on us. Oh pleeeease Peach man, please spare us such torment."

"Yes, because god knows being sticky can be sooo terrible." Hiei ssaid then stater laughing while Yusuke was already laughing his head off again. Poison Peach boy's eyebrow was twitching repeatedly. Beside him, he heard Bui slightly laugh and Peach boy glared at him.

"…" Bui looked at him and lowered his head in apology. Hiei and Yusuke also got a hold of their selves and faced the 2.

"Okay, we're done now." Yusuke said taking a few deep breaths in and out.

"Hn, at least we know he's working for a woman." Hiei said smirking.

"Huh, how'd you know that?" Yusuke asked, now focusing more on the other 2 now.

"It's probably a false name given to him by the client. She's probably a rich one too, if she could actually make him use the stupid title." Hiei explained smirking. Peach boy, was still clenching his jaw and fists. And his temples were pumping in his head.

"I GET IT THE DAMN NAME SUCKS!!! NOW LEAVE ME ALONE!!! AT LEAST I'M NOT SO SMALL THAT PEOPLE CAN'T SEE ME WHEN I STAND BESIDE THEM!!!"

"I rather be short then have your name. Besides I'll grow, you'll die!" Hiei said and flickered off.

The blond headed assassin smiled, "I get the runt first, and you can have the slick headed child."

"…" was the response as he jumped off the sails and landed heavily on the ground. He had to move quick as the part that he was standing on caved in and fell into the flames on the lower end of the boat. Yusuke smirked and started to stretch an arm (by putting one hand on the shoulder, then bending the other hand and moving it in a circular motion… but I don't know how else to explain, let's go back to the story!).

"Looks like I get the tin man." Yusuke said getting into stance, Bui again, said nothing. Instead he held his hand out to the side and suddenly summoned the biggest Ax Yusuke had ever seen. "…shit, how can the floor support your wait?" Bui looked down on the wood around him and shrugged. He didn't know, but that wouldn't stop him from killing this kid.

Peach boy in the meanwhile was watching out for Hiei, the little thing had to be out there somewhere Hiei suddenly appeared behind him and brought his sword down, aiming to cut him in half. However the assassin saw him at the last second and quickly dodged enough, only get a large gash in his back. Hiei smirked as he watched the man fall and hit the ground of the ship.

From the sails, Hiei was surprised to hear laughter from the assassin. The man got up, smiling as the blood fell off his back, landing in a puddle around him. Laughing like a hyena, he looked up like Hiei.

"Man that sword stings, wow… that's really sharp!" He said through gritted teeth. A smile lit his face as he looked up at Hiei. "That pain… has been mesmerized!" he said and took a ball off his belt. Hiei raised a brow in confusion as the man brought it to his lips.

'What is he, a masochist?' Hiei shrugged the thought off as he saw the ball turn to a white smoke. The man slurped on it until it had all been devoured. Hiei's eyes widened as the gash healed, and new fur grew out of his arms and legs. His hair also changed color. Of course this was one of Hiei's first thoughts.

"What, now you're a monkey?"

"Ha, easy for you to poke fun, but no this is Beast armor 1, Simian pelt." The man replied smugly.

"Like I said, you're a monkey." Hiei mumbled. Peach boy just grinned.

"Careful runt, these words might be your last, especially since you can't use that sword anymore." He said smirking. Hiei looked at his sword and back at the assassin.

'Whatever!' Hiei flicker down, and attacked the man, He was there in less then a second and aimed the sword at the man's head. The assassin just smirked and blocked the hit with the arm. The impact shattered the sword and for the first time in the fight, Hiei looked surprised. "How!?" Hiei muttered before flickering backwards to avoid a hit.

"You're too slow kid!" a voice said from behind him and he turned just in time to be hit by the Assassin. Hiei went crashing threw the ground, onto a lower level of the ship.

Yusuke dodged the ax that had come down on his head again and jumped away. He had been dodging the tin man (as nick named by Yusuke) for a while now. He found out the guy could summon as many axes as he wanted, and he was fast. There was no doubt in Yusuke's mind that this guy was no push over.

"Okay, do you think that this was a big enough warm up for us both?" Yusuke asked the silent figure. "Judging by your ability to bring forth a conversation I'd say yes!" Yusuke said sarcastically.

Tin man just brought another ax forth and this time slammed the ax into the ground, then, lifting his ax with ease, he brought out a chunk of burning wood from the ground and flung it at Yusuke. Yusuke jumped out of the way to dodge the flaming wood, but Bui had planned that and was right above Yusuke planning to cut him in half. Yusuke gulped as he watched the ax come down. Glaring he summoned spirit energy to his finger and pointed it at Bui's chest. "REI GUN!!!" He yelled as it hit Bui hard. The man coughed and slid against the boat's surface before going off the side of the boat, going strait out the door Kurama was hiding near earlier. Before the ax fell Yusuke caught it by the handle and put it over his shoulder like Bui.

"Heh, man these assassins are getting worse and worse all the time." Yusuke said cockily. A giant splash came from the water and Bui jumped out of the water, and back on the sinking ship, which was half way under water by now. His eyes glowed from beneath his heavy armor. "So you're not so bad after all!" Yusuke said.

"And you can do more then talk!" Bui said.

Yusuke was taken back. That was the first time the guy actually spoke. He had a surprisingly deep voice. Bui started to take off the armor on his arms and threw it over his shoulder, it was so heavy it went right threw the wood and sunk into the ocean.

"Most people use armor to protect themselves, however with me, it's the opposite. I use the armor to protect my opponents." He explained.

""Why thank you for the consideration, but I'm strong enough to take you on tin man!" Yusuke said glaring.

"Let's hope so!" The big man said and removed his helmet.

Peach boy smiled as he looked at the hole Hiei just made. Hiei jumped out after a moment, there were slight burns on his face, and his cloak was torn and singed. He glared at the assassin before throwing off his cloak, revealing his blue tang top, which was also torn at the straps.

"Impressed forbidden one? You should be," He boasted smiling psychotically. "Listen here fire brat; my body can mesmerize pain, while these 'dumplings' allow my body to withstand the damage. YOU MIGHT AS WELL SEND YOUR DRAGON AFTER ME, IT'S THE ONLY THING THAT WILL KILL ME!!!" Hiei glared at him for a moment.

"You're a fool, and feeding you to the dragon will only get the beast angry. It hates eating weaklings." He said glaring. "You're not worth the dragon's rage!" He stated as his eyes narrowed.

Peach boy growled and ran at Hiei, who blocked a hit to his head, but couldn't block the hit to his stomach in time, coughing he was grabbed by the shirt and thrown into the largest mast oo the ship. Peach boy grinned as he walked towards Hiei.

Hiei got up, spitting out the blood he coughed up, and then rub his mouth eith his sleeve. He hated the taste of blood. His hand hid his smirk as the assassin approached, "raging… fists of the over lord!" He said smiling as fire burst out his hands, covering them like flaming boxing gloves. Not wasting a moment, to truly appreciate his victim's scared face he charged at the larger man, punching him in the gut and face, burning away flesh and eyes! The assassin screamed in pain and fell to his knees as Hiei jumped away.

Hiei's smile fell when he heard the man start laughing after a while. "That pain…has…been mesmerized." He said, barely able to speak. But he grabbed the dumpling and started slurping up its fog like he did the last one.

This time, his fur changed into yellow scales or feathers, Hiei couldn't tell which. They grew along his arms and face, forming the sharpest wings ever. His chest was also covered now, bur with a lighter coat, showing his abs and chest. His old vest, barely hung on to one other arm, for the other was torn off.

"From a monkey to a canary, what's the next pathetic creature you'll turn into?" Hiei asked bored.

"Heh, you laughed once and all that happened was your butt got kicked. But now you have nothing but your stupid dragon, and once you send that out then you'll be week and helpless. Before that though let me introduce my new armor; Beast armor 2, demon avian pelt."

"Hn, more stupid birds," Hiei muttered rolling his eyes. He crouched down, getting ready to fight again.

Peach boy smiled and charged at Hiei who blocked quickly, but got hit in the head. Instead of being flown away like last time though, Hiei grabbed the guys arm and used his strength to throw Peach boy in front him. The assassin hit another mast, making it fall over, and its sails going into the ocean. Hiei turn in mid air and kicked the man in the stomach when they collided. The man grunted, but grabbed Hiei's leg then slammed him onto the ground. Hiei coughed, and the bird like assassin slammed him against the mast again.

"HA! THIS IS THE FAMOUSE JAGANSHI!! Yeah right, this is just an annoying weak link, pathetic! I guess it's true, orphan children are just weak and unworthy of anything." He said with a sneer. Hiei's eyes opened and his fists caught fire again. Glaring He pounded the man with a fury of punches, that did barely anything except make the man let go. "And you say I'm pathetic." Peach boy said laughing as Hiei flickered away from the man, trying to get some space between the 2.

Peach boy would have nothing of the sort. Faster then before, he grabbed Hiei by the neck and slammed him into the ground. 'No doubt now… he definitely is getting stronger…' Hiei thought and he coughed a little. The man above him smiled.

"I wonder what it feels like, to hear your neck snap in 2…" He said, smiling sadistically. Hiei glared as the man choked him. "Goodbye Jaganshi…"

Blood sprayed across the night sky…

Yusuke gulped when the man revealed his face. He had Green hair, with a very strange scare on his forehead. He also had a very good physique, but Yusuke was more concerned about the over powering aura pouring out from the man. It suddenly exploded and the man started levitating in the air. Yusuke took a step back from the assassin.

"Shit… he's like a pizza pop!" he muttered.

"That's creative, especially since you'll probably never touch me!" He yelled. "Let alone, defeat me." He yelled and sent a ball of energy at him. Yusuke jumped out of the way just in time, but the thing turned and followed him.

"SHIT!!! It's the ninja stars all over again!" He yelled and kept dodging; running from the things the best he could. Seeing the ax, he grabbed it and threw it at the blasts. It exploded on contact. "Yup, definitely like the ninja stars…" He muttered, remembering one time where he fought a ninja that used something close to the spirit gun, except he used his whole hand. In the fight he threw stars at him that exploded. Yusuke won by a fluke in the end.

'Wait, that worked once before...' Without thinking twice, Yusuke suddenly charged at the man. Bui shot another ki blast and Yusuke rolled sideways, the blast went past him and Yusuke ran forward at him again. Bui smirked. A blast was coming from behind the teen, grinning he sent another at Yusuke. He was now trapped between 2 energy bombs which were both going at him from the front and behind, Yusuke smiled and jumpedtowards the ground, smashing threw the burning wood and into the lower region of the ship. The bombs hit each other and blew up in Bui's face. Cringing Bui looked around, Yusuke had seemingly disappeared.

"Where'd he - huh!?" He looked below him, and the ground was glowing blue. "uh oh…" He mumbled before he was hit by a huge beam of spirit energy sending him flying. 2 levels below 3 feet of water was Yusuke with a few burns on his face, arms and chest. He was holding up his finger, where some smoke was coming from.

"Wow that actually worked!" Yusuke said smiling. "Awesome, that's another great plan from me!" He bragged and jumped back onto the deck, while in reality it was all just dumb luck. There was a green ball coming at him when Yusuke looked up. "Huh?" he muttered getting into a defensive stance. At a closer look, he could see it was Bui charging at him from mid air. Yusuke quickly jumped out of the way to try to avoid collision, but Bui changed direction in mid air, and punched Yusuke in the stomach, making his insides bruise. Yusuke coughed blood and was limp on the fist for a moment.

"I heard your name was Urameshi Yusuke, Prince of King Raizen's territory, his distant son, 40 times removed wasn't it? Impressive, I heard you were close to getting your demon blood released. It's a shame really, that his legacy will end with you." Bui said sadly as he summoned another ax. Yusuke looked up and gasped, with his stomach in so much pain he couldn't react enough to shoot the guy. It was like slow motion as the ax came down…

There was a tense moment of silence as Hiei glared at the man above him his left arm shook slightly before the assassin screamed and got off Hiei. In his eye socket was a pointy stick, which Hiei had stabbed him with at the last second. Now that the man was off him, Hiei quickly got up and made distance between the 2.

"YOU LITTLE BASTARD, RUNT! Grr… heh, whatever…" The man mumbled and he took the wooden stake from his head, his eye came out with it, making him flinch. Man that was painful. Hiei just stood there looking bored from a distance, a sail fell from its hangings, burning it caused another hole in the ship. Taking a quick look, Hiei could see water in the lower levels of the ship; it was surprising the ship lasted so long. However the fight had to end soon, or else they would fight underwater, a place where Hiei had no chance in hell.

'I should end this, usually only one dumpling is enough. However this guy had forced me to Avian, he's good. With the last dumpling however, he will lose.' Peach boy thought.

"I'm ending this…" He said and took out the last dumpling Hiei's eyes just narrowed as he watched the man eat the ball and transform again. This time, the man fur grew out again, but it wasn't frizzy like the monkey coat, this time it was smoother, longer, and covered all of him. His hair also went down and became smoother, his eye grew back again. His face became more pointed and Hiei's eyes widened when he realized what he was becoming.

"That's right brat, beast armor 3: beast pelt."

"…Are you a dog?"

"I'M AWOLF IDIOT!"

"Still sausage meat …" Hiei said glaring. If there was one thing Hiei hated, it was wolves and dogs. To him they were cheerful, loud, slimy, drooling beasts, and the worst ones were the wolves. They always seemed to be mocking him with their packs, and team work and loud voices! He hated they're high pitched squealing!

Peach boy smiled, his muzzle looking more repulsive as he did. Hiei crouched down getting ready for the next and last round. Grinning, the new wolf man charged at Hiei, who did his best the block the hit that came at him from the front. He even blocked the second, as a clawed hand came down, and barely scratched his cheek. He caught the hand and threw him over him, but the wolf flipped in mid air.He charged again, pounding him in the gut, making him go flying again. He skidded against the ship before hitting one of the smaller masts again. Trembling for a moment, Hiei started getting up but when he moved, he felt his arm get cut on something really sharp. Looking sideways to see what it was, he saw something that made his eyes widen. It was the hilt of his sword, the rest of the pieces, were probably scattered around the area but he didn't have the time to look for them. However that one piece of metal, had given him an idea. Standing up, heard the other fighter laugh.

"Don't you see? I'm superior in speed and strength, your flames won't affect me at all, neither will your pathetic sword skills either; I'm purely superior!" He boasted.

"Probably…" Hiei said as he picked up the sword by its hilt. "Too bad this fight has to end now." He grinning evilly, the ground behind him caught fire and fire rose behind him, making him look all black for a moment, except his eyes, which were glowing blood red; promising death of the worse kind for the assassin, as his Jagan glowed behind his bandana.

The assassin wasn't intimidated. "Trying mind games are we? Or have you got another ace up your sleeve?"

"Not an ace, just a move that I rather not use if I can avoid it." Hiei explained.

"Is that all? What pathetic last words." The Assassin said before disappearing. Hiei felt the man reappear in front of him, and the wolf punched in the chin making him go in the air. After going up for a few seconds, he felt strong claws dig into his shoulders, and sharp fangs, enter his shoulder. It was understandable now; Peach boy was planning on ripping Hiei apart, literally!

The key word was planning…

Hiei took his chance at the last moment and made a sword, sharper then before, but hotter then his normal flames and sliced him threw the man a dozen times…He was dead before he started trying to rip him apart.

As dismembered body parts fell to the ground, Hiei did a flip in the air and landed on 1 of the sails. Grabbing the head that was still attached to his neck he pulled it off him and looked into the dead eyes of the assassin. "I aimed for your neck first, that way I could answer your question earlier about what the neck sounds like as it snaps off." Hiei stated calmly and dropped the head in a pile with the rest of body parts, which would be the place where the man would be cremated Hiei cut a line above his head and another sail fell down and landed on the assassin. In secounds, it caught fire burning the body. Hiei turned his back on the wolf and looked around.

"Where'd that idiot detective go? He and his opponent have been distracting me that entire fight. Why does Yusuke get to fight the stronger one?" He muttered to himself. Another thing he hated was getting the weakest of the fighters when he fought. The one Yusuke was fighting seemed to have enormous power, so great that he couldn't fully focus on his own fight, and in the end giving him more wounds then he should've had.

Looking around a little more, he spotted the 2 and his eyes widened when he saw Yusuke falling over the big man's fist. He glared as he saw an ax transform in the man's hand.

"Damn it Detective" He almost yelled and he flickered off.

Yusuke closed his eyes, 'at least I'll die with out regrets…except maybe one…' Yusuke suddenly felt a huge pain in his ribs and he was thrown off the fist.

Groaning he looked up and his eyes widened in surprise. Hiei was standing near where he was, holding the ax's blade above him, a thin line of blood went down his arm as he glared at Bui who looked shocked. Hiei must have kicked him away, saving Yusuke.

"Understand this Tin man, only I am aloud to kick the Detective around!" Hiei said and he sent ki into the ax, melting the entire blade. "By the way Yusuke, why do you always get the strong ones?" Hiei said and turned to glare at Yusuke.

Yusuke blinked for a moment and just sat the looking at Hiei before laughing. "You just saved my ass and that's all you got to say? Not to mention you look like shit; the other guy must have given you some entertainment."

Bui stayed silent before sighing. "Urameshi Yusuke." Yusuke looked over at him curiously before getting up.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry for taking it easy on you it was rude but let's"-

"Your bird is in danger." Bui stated making Yusuke shut up and stand in shock.

"…What- WHAT DID YOU SAY!" Yusuke yelled thoroughly pissed. Hiei's eyes also narrowed.

"Peach boy made the plan, to get you 2 split up, after all, all we need is Hiei… I'm sorry to say that we're not interested in you at all Urameshi, sorry for the inconvenience." Bui said calmly.

"SCREW THAT!!! TELL ME WHERE PU IS OR I'LL SHOVE MY SPIRIT GUN UP YOUR ASS AND WATCH UR BLADDER POP OUT YOUR MOUTH!!!"

"Hn, calm down Yusuke," Hiei said glaring at Bui. "It's obvious now who they wanted, they just attacked you because they wanted to split us up, knowing you wouldn't step down and let me fight the 2 at once. You get your idiotic beast and I'll finish the fight.." Hiei said stepping forward; Yusuke reluctantly nodded still glaring at Bui.

"Okay then, now tell where he is!" Yusuke said while glaring.

"Somewhere in the cabin. I'm not sure where though; Peach boy was the one who hid the poor thing." Bui explained. Yusuke glared some more before turning to the ship and running inside the burning cabin. Hiei turned to Bui glaring; he put his arms down and a black dragon tattoo made its way to his arm, showing it's self for the first time on the ship.

"Just so you know, I hate cowards who hide behind harmless creatures, so may your deaths be long and painful." Hiei said glaring and Bui nodded.

"It wasn't my idea, he just did it. Is that the reason you burned him alive?" Bui asked.

"No, he was dead anyways, I just did that because the 2 of you ruined my ship!" Hiei explained as his eye roamed around his once beautiful ship.

Bui laughed slightly before smiling insanely. "Hiei Jaganshi, I challenge you! Only an energy which is stronger then mine can hurt me. I want to see your black dragon to see if you can defeat me." Hiei regarded him for a moment before smirking.

"So that's why the other wanted me to use the dragon. You would have saved him and then he would kill me while I would have been out of it, interesting strategy." Hiei commented, Bui smirked and nodded.

"However, I won't give you a choice now, YOU WILL FIGHT ME WITH THE DRAGON!!!" He yelled and summoned all his energy. Hiei's eyes widened in surprise when he felt the energy come from the guy and he took a step back. When it finally stabilized, the man got ready to charge and Hiei knew, he had no choice but to release the dragon.

Yusuke punched the door off its hinges and jumped into the cabin. Some wood fell down blocking the exit, but it was nothing he couldn't handle later. He ran through the water, which was at his heels as he rushed through the cabin. He was calling Pu's name, hoping for a response from the poor bird. Running he saw a room and pushed it open, slightly burning his hands on the way. Looking inside, he saw Pu screeching as it tried to untie itself from a chair. Sighing Yusuke walked up to the poor thing.

"Man you're a trouble maker Pu; I was actually worried ya were hurt." Yusuke said grumpily. He was relieved the bird was safe, but because of Pu, he couldn't finish his fight. When Pu was released he flew out the room yelling its name repeatedly, but instead of going to the exit, he went another way and went deeper into the ship. Yusuke ran after him.

"YOU STUPID BIRD, YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY!!!" He yelled and followed him. Pu stopped above a stair well that was flooded and dived under, and started using its ears to paddle itself through the water. Yusuke looked perplexed at that. Pu didn't swim, or at least he never did before…oh well he was a penguin... sort of.

Deciding not to think so much He dived into the water and swam after Pu. Pu stopped near the middle of the ship and tried pointing at something with its ears. Looking over Yusuke saw what Pu was trying to warn him about… in the middle of the ship, was a huge bomb, which could go off at any moment. Swallowing a huge amount of spit in his mouth, and some salt water, Yusuke knew what the assassin's plan was from the beginning. They separated Yusuke and Hiei, so when Hiei used the dragon he would be helpless to block the bomb or swim through the ocean's currant. Yusuke grabbed Pu and hauled him back. He had to get to Hiei before it was too late.

Dark flames erupted from Hiei's hand as dark rays of light went through the clouds. An aura like no other was pouring out from Hiei. Bui smiled, his plan was to force the dragon back on Hiei, and so it would eat him whole. To do that he would have to use everything he got.

Hiei's aura was so great that his shirt was burned off, and his pants got cuts in them. His tattoo moved around his arm before coming out. In an eruption of black flames, and a shape that came from the pits of hell was black dragon. It attacked Bui as Hiei called its name "DRAGON OF, THE DARKNESS FLAMES!"

The dragon unleashed it's furry and attacked Bui; its jaws, clapping down on him, but unable to get through his powerful aura. With amazing strength Bui was trying to stop the gaping jaws of the flaming beast from closing on him. Hiei watched, amused, allowing a smirk onto his face.

Bui had to use all he had if he wanted to survive. With one last burst of energy, he was able to fling the dragon off of him, sending it straight to Hiei. Hiei looked surprised as the dragon came toward him, and then glared before the jaws clomped down on his small body, and taking him into the air.

Bui landed on the ground and cached his breath. An insane smile went over his face as he started laughing. "I did it, I killed Hiei, the the wielder of the Jagan eye. MUHAHAHAHA!!! I KILLED THE ADOPTED FORBIDDEN CHILD!!! AHAHAHAHA-"

"What are you laughing at?"

That voice cut threw Bui's laughing and he stopped immediately. And he turned, beads of sweat pouring down is face. "N-no…it's"-

"Impossible? What a fool you are." It was Hiei, the dragon was disappearing and its form was changing to Hiei's. Bui looked up in shock as the flames were absorbed into Hiei's body. When Hiei landed on the ground, for a moment he was just a shadow, before his features appeared. He looked better then before the fight. There were no wounds, no scratches, it was like there was never a battle.

"Idiot, didn't you know that the dragon of black flames isn't just a weapon? It's much more, it doesn't just kill the user's enemies. No what it really does for true masters, is increase their strength by the thousands." Hiei explained walking forward. Bui stepped back in shock before running at him; punching him in the face as much as possible.

Hiei kept smirking as he was hit over and over again, before catching the man's fists. "I am more then just the forbidden child, I am the black dragon!" He ushered before burning the man's fist and punching him in the stomach making him fly. Hiei flickered behind Bui, then faster then the other could see and hit him in the head sending him crashing to the ground. "For the record, Yusuke was just going easy on you, in reality, he's even stronger then me."

Bui moaned and looked up. "Aren't you going to kill me?" He asked. Hiei stared at him before answering.

"Die your self, I don't care…" Hiei started walking away, feeling very tired. The battles and summoning absorbing the dragon had completely drained him.

"I think I will… I hope you won't mind… joining me…" Bui muttered as Yusuke ran onto the deck.

"HIEI WATCH OUT!!!" Yusuke yelled but it was too late, as Hiei turned tiredly, he saw Bui press a button before falling back. Hiei fell on one knee as the ship shook violently Yusuke barely kept his balance when water started to fill the deck.

Yusuke ran and put Hiei's arm over his shoulder, when an explosion happened close to them.

"Detective… Is this your fault?" Hiei muttered tiredly while glaring at the taller man the best he could. Yusuke laughed and shook his head.

Bui however wasn't quite done, picking up a piece of his armor he threw it and it clapped itself around Hiei's leg. The weight caused his foot to sink threw the wood and he fell to the ground. Bui smiled as a bomb exploded from under him, causing his death. 'At least my target will fall to…' was the man's last thoughts before he was killed.

Hiei and Yusuke tried to pull his leg out but it wouldn't budge.

"DAMN IT!!" Yusuke yelled as he finally pulled Hiei's leg out.

"Hn… I guess I'll see you in hell detective." Hiei said making Yusuke look up at him in shock. Hiei took his chance and punched him as hard as he could in the taller man's face then grabbing his arm he threw him across the boat sending him flying. Yusuke looked back and saw Hiei working on the clasps on the armor. No matter how tired, Hiei would never stop fighting until it was all over. When Yusuke landed in the sea, he looked back and saw Pu flying towards him, dropping some wood in front of him. Yusuke looked back in time to see the ship completely explode.

"HIEEEEIII!!!!" Yusuke yelled before a wave landed on him. Yusuke despite it all, swam towards were the ship formally was. When he got there, he franticly searched for his friend, but couldn't find the small demon. He called over and over again, but got no response. "No… he's not dead… no… DAMN YOU HIEI!!!" Yusuke yelled as he punched the water.

When the boat exploded, Hiei was thrown threw the air and landed into the ocean away from the ship and Yusuke. Now Hiei was was sinking fast and had no help. There were new burns all over his body, but the armor on his leg was the thing dragging him down. Finally, after sinking for so long he was able to undo it, and he tried swimming up. However, no matter how exelent a swimmer he was, with all the youkai Hiei lost and the battles he faced, he was too exhausted. No matter how hard he tried he couldn't swim threw the tide, and after a while, he couldn't move at all. His lungs were burning, he couldn't do anything.

'This is pathetic! Death by drowning! Hn, this is the worse, the detective…will pr—probably…never…l-lemme… live... it…' Hiei let the rest of the air escape from his mouth as he sank.

"NO WAIT, HANG ON HIEI!!!"

'Someone's…calling… who?' Hiei felt someone grab his wrist, and with the last of his strength, he looked up and saw a person, with beautiful green, concerned eyes looking down at him, and pulling him up toward the surface. In a mater of seconds Hiei and the man reached the surface. Hiei coughed up water as the person held him to his chest keeping him above the water.

Looking through the corners of his eyes, Hiei saw red hair all around him.

"Don't worry; as much as this might hurt your pride, I'm here to help. Just sleep and regain your streangth"

Hiei knew the person was right, and he grumbled and before passing out, he muttered 2 words. "What... name…?"

The man smiled and looked down at the smaller demon. "It's Kurama." As fast as the merman could, he started swimming towards a place were he could rest Hiei. It was a huge island known as Alaric.

DONE!!! man, was that lame? I tried to make it interesting but I'm not sure if it was.
