There was rarely a time where Touya lost his cool but, even though he remained calm and collected on the outside, on the inside he was panicking. He examined his surroundings. 'From the looks of it, it seemed like there was a struggle…' he thought to himself. 'But who would want to kidnap Yukina?' No name came to mind, and Touya had to think of where to start. Suddenly, he had an idea, Touya ran out of the park to his destination.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Botan wandered around town beside Hiei (who was wondering why he was still with the blue haired woman.) "Look Hiei, an arcade!" she pointed out excitedly.
"Hn…" the short fire demon was uninterested.
Botan dragged Hiei to the arcade and put a quarter in a game that was labeled 'plush crane game'. She looked as if she was concentrating very hard as she moved the crane to exactly where she wanted and pushed a small red button. Hiei looked intrigued as the crane descended, dropped onto a plush animal, and ascended again empty.
Botan sighed. "I suppose I'm not very good at this game…" she said.
Then, surprisingly, Hiei stepped up to the arcade game. "I'll try." He announced as he put a quarter in. Hiei began to control the crane, moving it to an exact spot and only pressing the little red button when the crane was in the exact position he wanted.
The crane dropped onto a pink plush bunny, latched onto the doll, and dropped it into the prize slot.
Botan watched in awe. "Wow, you got one!" she announced in admiration.
Hiei grabbed his prize from the slot and handed it the blue haired woman. "Here, have this." He offered.
Botan's eyes widened. "Are you sure? I mean, you did win it after all…"
Hiei rolled his eyes. "Of course I'm sure. What am I going to do with a little pink bunny?"
Botan blushed visibly and accepted the gift. "Thank you…" she said quietly, smiling a bit.
Suddenly, a hand was placed in Botan's shoulder. The woman gave a startled gasp before turning around. Her expression softened when she saw who the visitor was. "Touya? What are you doing here? Where's Yukina?"
Touya looked down. "I don't know…"
Hiei's eyes darkened. Before Touya could explain himself he cut in. "What do you mean you don't know!"
Touya looked directly at the enraged fire demon. "Someone has kidnapped her. I don't know who or why but I remembered about your jagan eye and thought you could help."
Hiei clenched his fist. "I'll do more than help. I'll find her myself! And if any harm at all has come to her, I'll kill you too!"
The ice master narrowed his eyes. "I didn't ask for her to be kidnapped Hiei. Don't you know that I'll never forgive myself if she's hurt? I lo—" He stopped.
Hiei watched him. "Say it Touya. You what?"
Botan interjected. "Come on you two." She started. "Fighting won't settle anything. You could be using the energy that you're wasting by arguing with each other to find Yukina." She sighed. "Let's start by going to Yukina's house. It might give us a clue about who took her."
Hiei turned and began to walk. "Fine."
-----------------------------------------------
The three of them began looking through Yukina's stuff to find any sort of hint as to where she was at the moment.
Botan was looking through her diary, Touya was searching through her desk, and Hiei was searching through letters. Neither one of them were having any success.
Touya slammed the last drawer shut. "This is hopeless!" he said and turned to Hiei. "Can't you use your jagan eye to find her?"
Hiei looked annoyed. "Don't you think I've tried!" he yelled. "Whoever has taken her has done something to make sure I can't locate her."
Before Touya could respond the doorbell rang. "I'll get that." Botan assured them. The room was completely silent until she returned with a letter. Her eyes were wide. "Hiei… it's addressed to you…" she handed it out to the fire demon.
Hiei took the envelope and opened it, reading the letter inside.
My dear Hiei,
Don't worry about your sister. She is unharmed… for the moment. I also have refrained from telling her what her actual relationship with you is… again, that is only for the moment. Meet me at the very bench where I abducted her at midnight tonight to avoid any one (or both) of these things to change. You may bring companions (it makes no difference to me) but I would strongly advise against it because I will make no promise to let them leave unharmed.
Hiei clenched his fist and turned to Touya. "Where exactly were you when Yukina was taken?"
Sorry that this chapter was pretty short, but the real exciting stuff starts next chapter. We are nearing the end for this story, so please review so I will stay modivated!
