The roar shook the cavern as everyone froze.

"What is that?" Amira asked softly to Hiei.

"What makes you think I know!" He snapped at her.

"The way you talk you think you know everything." She retorted as Yoko glared at her to shut up.

The roar continued for a moment and then died out. The cavern stopped shaking as everyone looked around.

Prakash opened his mouth to speak when a stream of light shot out from the locket hole in the wall, cutting a path down the middle. Thieves jumped out of the way as the light races past them, extending on as far as they could see. Satira stared at the light, confused.

'What is this?' She thought puzzled. She then noticed the light blue fog around their feet as it rose and began to intertwine with the beam of light. The temperature began to sharply decline as she wrapped her hands around her arms.

"It's….so cold." She whispered. Puffs of smoke emanated from her mouth which joined the light as soon as it left her mouth. She gasped in surprise, another puff following the first.

"Don't speak." Yoko instructed everyone, breaths coming out of his mouth as well. The beam of light slowly faded and the smoke dissipated.

"What's going on?" Amira finally ventured. Yoko's eyes darted about the cave.

Prakash, who had been standing stunned, looked at Satira. "This is all your fault!" He accused stepping toward her. "You broke the key!" He reached out to grab her when Yoko was at her side in an instant.

"Take one more step and you'll wish you hadn't!" he said in a cold voice. Prakash looked up at the deadly serious Yoko, his arm around Satira protectively.

The room shook again as the roar from before came back, its loud voice shattering the silence. Satira looked down and gasped as she eyed the pieces of the broken locket. They took on a golden hue as they melted into the cave floor.

"My locket!" She yelled in despair as she bent down to try to grab the pieces. She grabbed one as it melted in her hand. The golden liquid ran through her fingers and joined the pool on the ground as it was absorbed into the hard stone. Her mouth hung open in distress when Yoko put a hand on her shoulder.
"Look." He instructed softly as she looked up at the indention in the wall. The liquid had pooled into the heart shape and was hardening.

"It's fixing itself." She said softly, hope returning to her.

Yoko looked at it suspiciously as the locket hardened into the wall. "I don't think so." He said gently to her as the cavern began to rumble. Satira held onto Yoko as he wrapped his arms around her to steady her. Amira was knocked into Hiei's arms as she looked up into his red eyes. She quickly pushed herself out but she could have sworn his arms had tightened around her, just for a second.

"Throwing yourself at me?" He asked her smugly. Amira steadied herself.
"Don't hold your breath." She quipped. Their attention was drawn to the wall as it slowly started to spread apart.

"It's a door." Satira voiced.

"Finally!" Prakash said as he inched closer. "My treasure!" He curled his hands into fists triumphantly.

"Do you know what the first thing I am going to do is?" He asked looking at Yoko. Yoko narrowed his eyes, but said nothing.

Prakash opened his mouth to answer as the walls stopped opening and all was still. Prakash looked around frantically.
"Where is it!" He demanded to know. Yoko looked down at Satira who shrugged, as clueless as everyone else.

"My treasure! WHERE IS IT!" He yelled whirling around to Satira.

"How should I know?" she said defensively as a thin line of something blue shot out from the newly opened path and hit Satira in the heart.

Satira's eyes registered her shock as she fell backwards. Yoko quickly moved to catch her as she fell into his arms.

"Satira!" He said urgently, looking over her to see what was wrong. Amira and Hiei made their way over as well.

"What happened?" Amira asked.

"Something hit her!" Yoko explained as he gently shook her. "Satira?" He said again. Prakash was getting annoyed.

"WHERE IS IT!" He demanded to know as he walked to where the wall had opened. "My treasure! Where is it!" He hissed.

Yoko ignored him as he held his mate.

Sarkan took a step forward as Hiei moved in front of him. "I wouldn't step forward if you value your life." He warned, his sword pointed at his throat.

Prakash's eyes narrowed as he pushed past Hiei and Sarkan, roughly grabbing the unconscious Satira and shaking her.
"WHERE IS IT!" He yelled at her. Yoko growled and made a move to wring Prakash's neck when Satira's eyes shot open, blue flames showing in her eyes.
