More apocalypse! Since it's easy to write I can update quickly and without being bored!!!

Enjoy!

How… how does this man know me?

Kurama stared into the cat like eyes, trying to sense his aura but feeling none. A cry of frustration averted his attention to Hiei. The fire demon was crying out in rage, fighting against something…

Fighting against his moving body…

"Hiei cut the crap! She's your sister!" Yusuke was too worked up to notice that Yukina was there, listening, "Drop the sword!"

Yet, the demon remained standing, never lowering his sword.

"That's not Hiei." Mukuro finally said, "He would never hurt his sister…"

Kurama saw Mukuro preparing to attack the unmoving demon and panic filled his heart. This was not Hiei, Hiei wouldn't do this!

"He's being controlled!" Mukuro turned to stare at the fox and that's when Hiei attacked. Luckily, Yusuke saw this and kicked the short demon hard, sending him flying into the trees.

The blonde demon laughed suddenly, eyes mad and wide, "You are as smart as always, Kurama. That is very true. Good day to everyone. I believe I haven't introduced myself…"

The tall demon bowed humbly, smiling at them all, "I am Tsuki, demon of Time."

Out of the trees Hiei came, torn up and injured, yet still moving quickly. His body bracing for a fight, but his eyes filled with pain and sorrow.

"What the hell are you doing to our friend? You can't just control him like your very own puppet!" Yusuke yelled at the demon, shaking in anger.

Tsuki raised an eyebrow, "I can't? You are very wrong, Spirit Detective, because I can control him. Why? Because he is my puppet…"

Everyone was silent as the demon continued, "I'd prefer to call him my weapon. You see, the truth is that I created Hiei myself, twisting time and faith to create a forbidden child. Without me, Hiei would have never existed. Funny isn't it?""

Kurama couldn't believe what he was hearing. Hiei was…

Artificial?

"More like enhanced; mutated perhaps…" Tsuki corrected the fox, as if he were reading his mind.

"Don't play with us, asshole." Mukuro said coldly as she launched herself at him, but as she raised her hand to attack, Hiei came in the way of them. She held back her attack, and shielded herself quickly from Hiei's sharp katana.

She rejoined the others, clinging onto the sleeve that Hiei had sliced slightly. Nothing could stop Hiei. He could not even stop himself…

Just as the fire demon raised his sword, Tsuki clapped his hands, making Hiei scream in agony.

"Time is short; we'll have to cut off our little meeting. My apologies." With that the blonde demon disappeared with the screaming Hiei, and the ship faded into nothingness.

"Damnit!" Yusuke yelled, fists tightly clenched, "We lost Hiei, and Yomi! What the hell are we supposed to do now?"

Kurama's mind was a blur, he simply held on to the injured Yukina, not being able to say or do anything. What kind of friend was he? He didn't even stand a chance. Yukina shook him weakly to get his attention, and then whispered chokingly, "Help my brother, please… That demon is going to kill him! He is; I know it!"

Tears streamed down her face as she closed her eyes, succumbing to exhaustion.

Mukuro was silent for a few minutes, but then she turned to them determinedly, "Look, I can feel the ship going toward Yomi's fortress; I can feel it storing energy… I think I know what it's going to do…"

"He's going to take over the Demon realm?" Kurama placed Yukina carefully on the steps, healing her punctured shoulder.

"Worse. He's going to destroy it," Mukuro said bluntly, "And when that happens, all the debris and demons will come upon the Human and Spirit Realm. It's going to throw everything off balance!"

"Dude, that's not cool!" Yusuke said seriously, "We gotta stop it!"

"But then, how's he going to fuel the power…" Kurama trailed in his question, fully knowing the answer.

"What? What?"

"He's going to make Hiei," Kurama watched the eerie purple clouds swirl around the sky, "Oh God, he's going to make Hiei a lightning rod…"
