-1Deadly Adventures

A/N: Again with what happens when I'm not allowed online for a long, long time.

Summary: Desperate for a win in the war against Lykouleon and the dragons, Nadil casts a spell to summon more demons. And he got more than he bargained for. Answering the call were Kurama, Youko, Hiei, and Kuronue. Unfortunately for Nadil, only one of the answering demons actually made it to where he specified. The other three found themselves in an odd world and not exactly welcome. Especially for the one that found himself in the vicinity of Rath.

Category: Yu Yu Hakusho and Dragon Knights crossover.

Genre: Angst. Drama. More? I'll let ya know.

Rating: M/NC-17.

Couples: Youko/Kuronue. Rune/Rath. Will Hiei and Kurama end up together? Maybe. I haven't totally decided yet.

Dragon of dreams: Thank you very much for that compliment. It never really sinks in that people like your stories until you hear it from a complete stranger. Thank you.

"Fine. I will let you come with me." Rath grumbled, lowering his insanely large sword. Inside, Hiei breathed a sigh of relief.

"I have a question. Who is 'Nadil'?" Hiei demanded, stopping Rath before the Dragon Knight could move.

"Why does Nadil matter to you?" the girl that was traveling with Rath asked, folding her arms over her chest.

"Because, whoever he is, he currently has a…companion of mine with him." Hiei growled. "I would prefer to pick the human up before something should happen to him."

"Human? You have a friend that is human?" the girl asked incredulously.

"I never said he was a friend. And he is basically human. He shared a soul with a yokai for many, many years. But that is not the point. Who is this Nadil and where does he live?" Rath shrugged at Hiei's demand.

"I don't know where Nadil is. However, Lykouleon might. So the sooner we get to Draqueen, the sooner you may be able to help your 'companion'." Rath said, pushing past Hiei, Crewger, the dog, following.

"Rath…Why do you keep denying me? You wouldn't have come along on this trip if you weren't worried that something would happen to me." Cesia said, reaching out to the distant knight. Rath pulled away from her.

"I didn't come to protect you. I came to hunt demons and to revive Crewger. Stay the hell away from me." Cesia's eyes brimmed with tears from Rath's words. Neither of them paid enough attention to realize that Hiei was watching their little soap opera from a tree that he had decided was his resting place for the night.

/Hmph. Didn't you say that Rath's lover Rune was waiting for him/ Hiei thought through his link to Youko.

/Yeah, why/ Youko responded. Hiei was sent an image of a young blond boy with sea-blue eyes.

/This Cesia chick is all over him./

/Oh, yes. I remember Thatz saying something about the girl being delusional and thinking that Rath was in love with her./ Youko replied boredly. Hiei then received an image of a boy with green hair.

/So you can't reach Shuuichi either/ There was silence from Youko's end for awhile.

/That's right. I keep trying but he won't answer. He's ignoring you too/

/As if. I can tell when there's something going on with him that keeps him from responding./ Hiei retorted.

/What do you think has happened to him/ Youko's mental voice sounded a little upset, though he'd deny it at any time.

/This Nadil guy has done something to him. He's probably incapacitated or something./ Hiei's mental voice did not betray any of his worry, though he really was worried for the safety of the red-head.

/That's what Kuro thinks. He's talking with the Dragon Lord right now. He said it'd be better if I just sat around and continued trying to contact Shuuichi and waiting for him to contact me back. Because apparently, I get distracted easily-OOH! Shiny!-But I have no idea where Kuro would get that idea from./

/I think I might have an inkling…/ Hiei severed his link with the fox as he watched Rath stalk away from the fire, leaving Cesia crying. Crewger quickly followed his master, as did Hiei. Only Hiei stayed in the trees.

Rath sat down on the edge of a cliff, staring out on the sea of stars that continued for miles. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a ring that had a ribbon looped through it. Rath fingered the ring for a while, twirling it through his fingers and swinging it around by the ribbon.

"Rune…Dammit, I should've gone with you instead…" Rath whispered, though Hiei heard it clearly. Crewger sat beside his master and nuzzled the knight, attempting to offer comfort. "Thanks, Crewger…"

"So. This 'Rune' means a lot to you?" Hiei asked, jumping down from his tree and approaching Rath slowly. Rath jumped and looked around, though he relaxed once he saw that it was only Hiei.

"…Yeah. Rune's the only person that has ever loved me for me." Rath turned his back to Hiei.

"The ribbon is his?" Hiei sat on the other side of Rath, so as not to crowd Crewger. The two didn't get along very well.

"Ring too. He gave me the ring, but I took the ribbon while he was sleeping on one of our missions." Rath gave a short bitter chuckle. "He was so pissed the next morning when he couldn't find it. He uses them to tie his hair up."

"He never found out that you did it, though. Or you probably wouldn't be sitting here, am I right?" Hiei glanced at the knight.

"Nah. He wouldn't have killed me. He would've just made me give it back." Rath sighed. "How do you know about him?"

"I can speak telepathically with two of the other members of the group that was summoned here. One of them is currently at the castle with Rune." Hiei answered.

"Is he ok? How did his mission go?" Rath turned to Hiei, eager for news of his love. Hiei sat quietly for a second.

"I'm not sure how the mission went; my source didn't ask. All that Youko knows is what Kuronue told him."

"I want to hear whatever you know." Rath assured him.

"All right. Apparently, Kuro had been transported to wherever Rune was and Rune tried to kill him. He claimed that Kuro had killed all of his kind, though Kuro had nothing to do with their massacre." Hiei said, shrugging. "That's all I know."

"…His kind was massacred…? Then…they're all dead…He's all alone…" Rath looked down. "Dammit…"

They sat quietly for a moment, each reflecting on thoughts of those close to them. However, their reverie didn't last long, as a scream sounded throughout the woods.

A/N: Here ya go! By the way, I couldn't remember how to spell Crewger.
