Chapter 27: you were planning to KIDNAP ME?

As the gang secretly pondered Rei's betrayal, another group was also pondering about Rei. Team Akihiko stared and sweat dropped at their newest member. Rei was in the corner sulking muttering to herself.

"Um...Rei-chan, are you okay?" asked Jiyuu. "You haven't moved from that corner since yesterday." Rei's head slowly turned to Akihiko, who was trying to hide behind Jiyuu. It wasn't working since he's much taller. Jiyuu's 6'1 and Akihiko is 6'5. He should have hid behind Yajuu, who was at least 7'. Since we're on height Shashu's is 5'9 and poor Rei is 5'2. She's taller than Hiei, who used to be 4'9 but had a growth spurt and is now 5'. Anyway...When Rei's eyes connected with Akihiko he coward even more. Rei's eyes were glowing with anger.

"You! It's all your fault!" she growled leaping towards him. Shashu grabbed Rei's waist and held her back.

"My, my, isn't she in a lovely mood," joked Jiyuu. "You were the one who gave you friends such a cold look."

"But it's all his fault! Those looks they gave me! They think I betrayed them! Hiei's look was the worst. His eyes were so...so cold," she said as her struggles lessened.



"Hey! I didn't make you break up with Hiei. You did that all on your own. Now, blackmailing you, threading you, and planning to kidnap you, that's my fault," said Akihiko as he stepped out from behind Jiyuu.

"You...you were planning to KIDNAP ME!" Rei yelled as she tried once again to attack him. Akihiko smirked and ran out the door. Rei broke free from Shashu and shot after him.

"My lord!" shouted Yajuu, almost about to go after him but was stopped by Shashu.

"Don't worry about them. We have to get ready for our fight," he said.

"Let's go Botan!" shouted Yusuke from outside the girl's room. His mom hit with her fist.

"You shouldn't rush a lady," she growled. Botan came rushing out.

"Sorry! Sorry! Koenma was talking to me. He wants to tape the fight because he has a meeting."

"We should hurry," said Kurama, "the last bus to the stadium will be leaving soon." The others nodded and began running towards the bus.

"Welcome everyone! Today should be an exciting match! In the left corner we have The Five Musketeers! "yelled Yuri into the mic. The five musketeers all wore white Spanish shirts, brown pants, and a hat with a feather in it, each a different color. Each also had a rapier attached to their side. "And in the right corner we have Team Akihiko!" Cheering erupted in the stadium, much to Team Urameshi's dislike.

Kuwabara blinked. "Hey there're only three of them. Where the hell are Rei and that other guy?"

"That's a good question," muttered Yusuke. Jiyuu stepped up to the ring.

"I shall fight first," he said. He was about to say more but was cut off by Akihiko's booming voice.

"JIYUU! I SHALL FIGHT!" he yelled. Everyone looked up into to the sky to see his figured with the sun right behind him. He gracefully fell from the sky and onto the ring. "I, Akihiko Nikkooyoku Hatoyama, son of Daiki Haruki Hatoyama the Duke of Southern Makai, will fight the first real battle!" At the end of his speech he gave an epic pose.

"Is he saying that my fight wasn't real," Yajuu ask Shashu.

"That's what I heard," said Shashu.

"My lord, that hurts my feelings."

"I shall take you all on if you want," said Akihiko continuing his rant, completely ignoring Yajuu.



"My Lord, as your adviser and long time friend, I'd advise you not to," said a very calm Jiyuu.

"But…But…I want to fight!" cried Akihiko. The gang sweet dropped. The never pictured the son of the Duke to be a crybaby. Spoiled yes, but a cry baby?

"If you get hurt this early in the fight we'll be the ones getting yelled at by your father," said Shashu.

"Absolutely not! No way!" yelled Yajuu.

"AKIHIKO!" yelled a voice.

"Oh no, she found me!" Rei came jumping in the arena and attacked Akihiko with her fist. As she attacked he dodged. Suddenly he stopped, surprising Rei making her trip and fall flat on her face.

"I have an idea! Rei shall fight with me that way if I get hurt then Rei will get blamed!"

"What?" growled Rei quickly getting up. The other three team mates clapped.

"Very good idea, My Lord!" cheered Jiyuu.

"Don't tell him that! It's a very bad idea!"

"We shall allow you to fight with Rei," said Shashu.

"Don't go making decisions for people!"

"But My Lord, I should fight with you!" yelled Yajuu.

"Yeah, he should fight with you!"

"I'm your bodyguard!"

"Yeah he's your body guard," echoed Rei.

"Plus, I'm a much stronger then her!"

"Yeah he's-Wait? What? No you're not!"

"No. I'm fighting with Rei and that's final!" wined Akihiko, "Jiyuu, you may return to the side lines."

"Yes My Lord," he said while bowing.

The gang frowned as they watched the scene below.

"I don't get it. They're treating him like he's the king but he's only the son of a duke," said Kuwabara.



"A well known and respected duke," said Kurama.

"Eh?" questioned Yusuke.

"Daiki Hatoyama is a very powerful and well respected figure to most demons, especially to those that live in the southern Makai area. The Hatoyama family use to rule alongside Yomi, Raizen, and Mukuro but demoted themselves due to a family conflict. From what I heard they still had the same amount of power just kept in a smaller territory," explained Kurama.

"Oh," said Yusuke and Kuwabara.

"Let's begin! It's Lord Akihiko himself and his servant Rei against Paul and Don!"

"Servant! Who's a servant?" yelled Rei. 'Ghaaa now I'm even more pissed off!' Rei took out her gun getting ready to attack.

"Ready! Go!" Akihiko raced towards the two poorly dressed demons but skidded to a hault when he heard gunshots. He dropped to the ground as the bullets flew passed where he once stood.

"Hey! That could have hurt if it hit!" cried Akihiko. Rei ignored him, turned around and walked towards the edge of the stage. "Hey, what about-" Akihiko looked back towards the two they were fighting to see bullet holes in their 'third eye'. "Ahhhh, Rei I wanted to fight too!"

"Yeah, whatever."

"She's still in a bad mood," sighed Shashu. Shashu sweat dropped to see he was taking to no one.

"Are you okay, My Lord?" asked Jiyuu helping Akihiko up.

"See My Lord, you should have let me fight with you!" complained Yajuu. One of the other team members raced towards Rei in rage.

"Hold it right there! I'm going to take you down!" he yelled. Rei smirked and turned to the raging demon. When she was completely facing the demon she shot at him with her rocket launcher. No one knows where it came from, it just appears. The unnamed demon blew up into little pieces. Rei was in a very bad mood.

"That's three wins. Looks likes we take this round," Rei said while smirking evilly.

"Umm…I guess true…Okay the winner is Team Akihiko!!" Cheers erupted in the stadium. "Next time let's hope form more blood and destruction!"

Back in the gangs hotel room they talked about the anti-climatic fight.

"She's not the same Rei we knew," said Yusuke sitting on the couch next to Keiko.



"She seems angry and…sad," commented Kurama.

"Maybe it's because of…" started Botan as she and the other turned their head towards Hiei.

Hiei coldly looked out the window. "Don't look at me like I'm the bad guy. It was her decision. Besides, who cares about how she's feeling. She's our enemy now."

"Hiei! That's cold!" shouted Keiko.

"Hn." With that he flew out the window.

"ERRR! That guy! What is his problem?"

"This is just Hiei's way of coping," Kurama said defending his best friend, "He'd never felt like that before and then she goes and rips his heart out. Try seeing it from his point of view."

"Yeah your right."

Hiei was jumping from tree to tree in a nearby forest when he suddenly stopped on one of the branches. His eyes widen in shock. There in the branch that he was about to jump on was Rei, sleeping. Hiei jumped on Rei's branch, being careful not to wake her up. He gazed at the face before him. Slowly he leaned forward sort of like he was in a trance. Slowly he got closer and closer when he was finally an inch away from her. Hesitating at first, he finally brushed his lips upon hers. Realizing what he was doing her slowly backed away but not fast enough. Rei's eyes slowly opened to find Hiei an inch away from her. The both stared at each other with wide eyes.

'Crap,' thought Hiei.
