Disclaimer: Is my name Yoshihiro Togashi? Nope, so I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho. Just the intricate plot and OC.

Chapter 7: Luck? Nah, just a guess.

 

Yusuke rolled his eyes and waited until the demon was done speaking to reply courteously, “Thanks. Now tell me where the hell you have the nymphs before I bust your sorry face in half.”

 

Kurama, Kuwabara and Hiei included sweat dropped at such straight forwardness. The demon however, grinned even more. “You've got spirit kid. I like that, it tastes better.”

 

“Sorry but I don't intend to be dinner, my own stomach needs filling.” replied Yusuke, his brown eyes fixed on the demon, ready to move at any given second, he knew his friends would give him backup if needed.

 

Kurama muttered something to Hiei, who nodded and vanished from the room before Ichi had time to realize it, mainly because Kuwabara caught his attention by creating his spirit sword.

 

Yusuke cracked his knuckles and grinned, “Lets fight this out and figure out who gets to be the bird or the worm.” While talking, he had been gathering energy in his right index finger.

 

Ichi laughed dryly, “That's funny, but you're already squirming under my eyes.” he replied and prepared his own weapon, not the waterproof toy, but an actual ax.

 

“Maybe you need glasses.” shrugged Yusuke, not the least bit intimidated. Kuwabara and Kurama were at the ready, each with their cool weapons, waiting for the enemy to make the first move and react from there. Hopefully Hiei would find what they needed quickly.

 

~*~
Speaking of which, Hiei was zipping through the barely lit stone corridors, trying to determine where the hell the nymphs would be kept. Not too far from the room he had left earlier, he had found a gigantic cell with many different smells. But it was empty now, no traces of anyone whatsoever.

 

The short fire demon could also smell a stronger, more recent smell from a male. Hiei guessed it should be the mastermind behind the abducting of the world's nymphs. Some strange slushing sound to his left made him stop abruptly. His black cloak floated to his right due to his sudden stop.

 

Frowning, Hiei narrowed his glare and stared at the wall intently. Something was there... A drop of water hit his nose and he looked up just in time to take two quick steps back as what seemed to be a tsunami nearly crashed on top of him, again.

 

Well actually no, at that instant it had looked rather ominous and excessive, but now that the water was on the ground, it looked more like the content of a bath tube. Still, normal water does not stick together that much to the point of resembling a-- body?

 

Interesting, it was like the body emerged from somewhere deep within the water, traits blurry at first but then the water itself was absorbed within the body. There, on the ground in front of Hiei, was a teenage girl with blue hair down to her back, dark skin and dressed in-- something weird never seen before.

 

'I guess that's one of them.' asserted the ever so smart fire demon, go Hiei! Without considering the odds that it was a trap, Hiei quickly grabbed the girl by the waist, swung her over his shoulder and zipped right back to where he had left his comrades to fight the ugly demon.

 

Upon arriving there, Hiei saw a growling demon, face first into the ground with a panting Kuwabara behind him. Apparently, a combo of all three attacking at the same time had left Yusuke in a corner after jumping in front of the demon and firing his spirit gun.

 

However, his spirit weapon had been deflected by the ax Ichi fought with. Smart weapon: both offensive and defensive. Anyhow, Yusuke ended up crashing in the wall, but that was the way they had planned it. At that same instant, Kurama had lashed out his rose whip and grabbed hold of the ax's handle and yanked on it while Kuwabara came up from behind and swung his sword through Ichi's legs.

 

Overpowered at the moment, Ichi had heavily fallen face down and was trying to get back up. That was when Hiei stepped in. “I got one. Let's get out.” he snapped, his eyes staring from one friend to another.

 

All three nodded and jumped to the exit, Yusuke lagging momentarily to say: “It was such a pleasure not to be eaten by you.” before leaving.

 

“I suppose we should contact Koenma now, for our ride back that is.” noted Kurama while running through the halls that somehow seemed to pile up with more enemies.

 

“I guess they figured us out.” mumbled Kuwabara, slicing through a demon sandwich.

 

“Ah.” nodded Yusuke who had now caught up. He whipped out his communicator and called for Koenma at least twice before the image appeared, but it was blurry and jumpy. “Yo, get us out!” yelled Yusuke, dodging a badly aimed spear.

 

Hiei was expertly making his way through, not moving from his course. The obstacles simply had to be removed from his path, hence the bloody katana. Anyway, by the time they reached the front gate of the castle, there was a portal waiting for them to hop in.

 

“Nice.” smirked Yusuke, snapping his communicator shut as he sped up, shooting a shot gun blindly over his shoulder. One after the other, the gang jumped in the portal, landing safely in Reikai.

 

A sort of reassured Koenma greeted them, staring at the body over Hiei's body. The blue hair was nearly brushing against the floor since she was a bit taller than Hiei and her hair was relatively long. “We only found one.” pointed out Yusuke, shoving a thumb over his shoulder at Hiei. Duh, thank you very much.

 

“About that...” started Koenma, looking semi tense, “According to our map, all the nymphs have returned to their original country... Except the Japanese one. However, when scanned for their powers, nothing came up.”

 

Kurama frowned, “But... then-- where are their powers?”

 

“Excellent question,” nodded Koenma, sucking on his pacifier, “I myself have been doing some research and-- there's only one way to answer that.”

 

“... And that is?” Yusuke asked once the silence lengthened.

 

“Hiei, give the girl to Botan.”

 

Without a word, the said demon stepped forward and swung the girl off his shoulder, giving her to Botan. “Oh dear, she's as light as a feather!” remarked the Grim Reaper as she took the unconscious girl to another room.

 

It was true, Hiei hadn't thought of that at the time because he was fighting his way out, but he wouldn't have known he was carrying her on his shoulder if he hadn't been holding onto her waist. He was about to say she was made of water but realized it was a Kuwabara statement -meaning stupid- and said nothing.

 

Hiei's eyes flickered quickly across Mizu's features while Kurama just noticed her right arm was hanging uselessly before Botan disappeared. But dear Shuichi still had no idea who the girl really was, he hadn't been given enough time to thoroughly look at her.

 

“Thank you very much, you're dismissed for the moment.” said Koenma, waving a tiny hand to shoo them away.

 

Yusuke twitched, “At least tell us if we saved Japan or not damnit!” he cursed.

 

“Language, Yusuke.” reprimanded Koenma shaking a finger in a 'no-no' gesture. “And you'll find out tomorrow. If you die, then no, you failed. If not... all for the better!”

 

Yusuke was about to reply but Kurama placed a reassuring arm on his shoulder and pulled him toward the exit. “Have faith in Hiei, Yusuke.” cooed Kurama. A grunt answered him, which basically meant “fine.”

 

“I'm sure he had a good reason to pick her. He probably would have taken her instead of anyone else on the street, if you know what I mean.” he continued. Yusuke nodded and sighed.

 

“Yeah, you're probably right... as always.” he added and glanced back at Hiei. “Speaking of which... What made you choose her?” he quirked an eyebrow.

 

Hiei debated whether telling the truth, or half the truth and imitate Yusuke. “It was luck, she was the only one there.”

 

Yusuke stopped dead in his tracks, staring wide eyed at Hiei's back. He did not just say that! “Woah-- hey-y...” he stuttered, his breath frozen midway out. “... Are you-- sure she's the right one though?”

 

Smirking, Hiei did his best to shrug as if he didn't care. Kurama chuckled, “A typical Yusuke answer.” he concealed his smile with one hand, glancing at the twitching Yusuke.

 

“That's not funny! I already died once, I don't want to die again!” he fumed and stomped off. Poor Kuwabara was just left out of the conversation but was following nonetheless. He, too, wondered what made Hiei pick that specific girl.

 

~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~

... I just remembered, in Japanese, Kuwabara is actually “Kuwahara.” Doesn't it sound cooler? Maybe I should start using that instead... I don't know... Doesn't really matter. ^^;

 

One thing though, if you see any stories on any website that seemingly resembles mine but mine was posted before, please let me know. Thanks!

 

DamnBlackHeart: Haha yeah... it'd be quite interesting. :P I wasn't sure I described it right how he would flip his hair back with one jerk of the neck but hey, if you got it... ^^ I'll update once I get another review or so... But thanks for the review, I'm so very glad this chapter wasn't as sucky as I thought it was.

 

KasaiKage: Yeah I just um, noticed that my pages had weird margins, so in the future I'll try to write more. ^^;; Hehe sorry about that... But yes!
