The next
morning, Kalia woke up to the feeling she was being watched. When she
opened her eyes she saw Hiei looking out the window.
"What
are you doing in here?,"Kalia asked.
"Well, we're
partners on the mission today,"Hiei said.
"That still
doesn't give you liability to my room. You would probably have sliced
my head off with your katana if I had went into your room,"Kalia
told him.
"So you're gonna cut my head off, huh?,"Hiei
said, smirking.
"I just said what you would do,"Kalia
said, getting up.
"I wouldn't,"Hiei said,"Maybe if
Kuwabaka came in here I would."
"That Baka,"Kalia
laughed,"I'd kill him if he touched me."
"Hn, not
funny,"Hiei replied.
"Sounding a bit over protective,
don't you think?," Kalia asked.
"If anything happened to
you, I'd kill the person who did it,"Hiei said.
"Aren't
you sweet,"Kalia said.
"Stop being sarcastic,"Hiei
said.
["I wasn't"
"I'll be back out in 10
minutes and then we'll get some breakfast, okay?,"Kalia said.
In
10 minutes, she was back out and they went for breakfast.
"Nali,"Kurama
whispered in her ear,"Wake up."
"Huh?,"Nali
said.
Kurama smiled at her remark.
"You have to wake
up."
"Why?,"Nali whined.
"We have a mission
today,"Kurama reminded her.
Kurama got up and went into her
closet. He took out something for her to wear and dropped it on
her.
"I'll wait for you, then we'll go for breakfast,"he
said and went and sat in a chair.
Nali turned into a fox and
growled, but wen to get ready.
10 minutes later, she was
ready.
"Lets go,"Nali said.
"For someone who
didn't want to wake up, you sure are awake now,"Kurama
said.
"C'mon, I'm hungry,"Nali said, dragging him to the
kitchen.
After breakfast,
everyone was in Koenma's office.
"Alright,"Koenma
said,"The mission you are going on is to retrieve an artifact.
The artifact can cause water to take over cities. What I mean is, if
you've heard of Atlantis, you know what I mean."
"Ahh,
whats Atlantis?,"Kuwabara asked.
Everyone stared at
him.
"Baka, this is no time to explain what your feeble mind
can't process,"Kalia said.
"HEY! But I-,"Kuwabara
began.
Kalia took out her katana.
"If you value your hair
or the head on your shoulders, you'll find it wise to SHUT UP!,"
Kalia threatened.
Kuwabara hid behind Boton. Hiei had a look of
pride in his eyes.
"Well, anyway,"Koenma started
again,"It is in a castle guarded by demons. There are 3 parts to
the castle. You have been broken into 3 groups. Nali, open a
portal."
Soon, they were in front of a creepy castle. There
were 3 doors to chose from.
"Boton, Yusuke, and Kuwabara take
the far left, Hiei and Kalia the right, Nali and I will take the
middle. Lets go,"Kurama said.
Everyone took off.
Inside
the castle it was dark. 15 minutes into the castle, the middle and
right tunnels became one. Hiei, Kalia, Nali, and Kurama all decided
to go together until there was another split.
"Well, looky
here. It's a party of good demons,"a voice with an Australian
accent said.
"Who are you?,"Kalia asked.
"I'm
Torin. Sorry gals, but I'll be takin' you two hostage right about
now,"the voice said.
The girls felt their partner move closer
to them.
"That won't happen,"Hiei snarled.
"Yes,
it will,"Torin said.
In 2 seconds, all 4 had been knocked out
from behind.
When both guys woke up, the girls were gone. Torin
was watching the guys. Hiei pulled out his katana and Kurama pulled
out his rose whip.
"Looks like you have a second
mission,"Torin said and disappeared.
"Now what?,"said
Hiei, angrily.
"We'll have to find the girls. Yusuke's group
are probably the ones who will find the artifact,"Kurama said
calmly, but his eyes showed that he was very angry.
They walked
for 5 minutes until they came to a fork in the tunnel.
["Hiei!"
Hiei
looked down the right fork.
"Kurama, you should go left, Nali
should be that way,"Hiei said,"I just heard Kali
telepathically. It seemed to come from the right."
Kurama
nodded and they seperated.
[Kali, where are
you?"
["I'm in a room where I can't see a thing. Hey,
whats with the nickname?"
["Don't bother with that now.
The room is that dark?"
["Duh, what did I just
say?"
["So you have no idea about your
surroundings?"
["Right."
["Are you
alright? Nothing wrong or out of place?"
["No, not if
you count the part that I'm only in my underwear."
["Are
you serious?"
["Would I lie? Don't answer that
question. They probably think I had some weapons somewhere in
them."
["Turn into a wolf."
["Why?"
["You'll
be able to see better."
2 minutes go by...
["There
is nothing in here except a table. Its pretty empty."
["Give
a howl so I know where you are."
1 minute goes by...
"Owww!
OW, OW, OWWW!," a wolf called.
Hiei heard it from a door off
to his right.
When Hiei opened the door, he saw a wolf for a split
second before it was Kalia.
"Hiei, don't shut the-,"Kalia
started, but Hiei had shut the door and it was locked.
This time
though, the lights remained on. Hiei went over to Kalia and hugged
her. He took off his cape and put it around her. They found her
katana on the table.
"Lets go find the others and go back to
Koenma's,"Hiei said.
He threw his katana at the door which
made it break. That made it easy for them to get through.
"Nali?,"Kurama
kept calling.
After 2 minutes...
"Kurama!?,"Nali
called.
It had come from a door on his left. He broke it with his
Rose Whip. He rushed over to Nali and held her in a tight
embrace.
"Are you alright?,"Kurama asked.
"I'm
okay, don't worry,"Nali said.
"Don't worry?! Of COURSE I
WAS WORRIED!,"Kurama said, skeptically.
"I was worried
you were hurt,"Nali said.
"I'm fine, now lets get out of
here,"Kurama said.
20 minutes later, everyone was outside.
Yusuke's group had gotten the artifact so they headed back to
Koenma's office.
