Farewell Butterfli

By Ryoken

“SHHHHHHHHH!!!! You want to wake the dead??!” Yusuke hushed as VT shouted. Mizu stirred in her sleep and opened her eyes.

“Hey, Mizu. We're sorry if we woke you up,” Kurama said.

“No, it's ok...” she said sleepily. Mizu noticed VT's hand. “VT, what happened to your hand?”

“It's nothing; forget it,” VT said, quickly hiding it behind her back.

“VT broke a beaker with her hand; it made some pretty nasty cuts,” Yusuke said. As soon as he said it, he was on the floor.

“Yusuke, be quiet!” VT said. Suddenly, she stiffened. “Wow, I just hit Yusuke Urameshi...And I wasn't even trying...” VT blinked. Suddenly, the door opened and in walked the doctor.

“Well, hello there, Reim,” the doctor said. Hiei caught her visibly wince as the doctor looked away for a moment. “And how are you doing? Any pains at all?” Mizu shook her head. Even so, the doctor came to the side of the bed and examined her wrist, gently lifting and lowering it. He nodded affirmatively, and left. Yusuke sat on the floor and rubbed the back of his head.

“Ow...Geez, you sure do hit hard, VT,” Yusuke said. “Kinda reminds me of Genkai...” He said thoughtfully. VT seemed to blush at the comment, though she tried to hide it.

“So, uh, Mizu,” VT said, changing the subject. “When will you be able to play the violin again?”

“The doctor never said,” she said. “Then again, I never asked,” she added thoughtfully. Then she popped the big question. “So, why are you guys here, anyway?”

Three out of the four boys looked away in avoidance to the question, but Kurama was the one to speak up. “It's...not something that should be talked about. At least not here, Mizu."

"Why not?"

"It isn't safe to speak of these things here."

Suddenly, a nurse came in. She had brown hair, and looked ordinary, like all of the nurses.

"As soon as we put a cast on that wrist of yours, you can go home, Reim," she said, making Mizu wince once more. "Come with me." Mizu got up, a little wobbly at first, and followed the nurse down the hall and out of sight.

"So why isn't it safe?" Vt continued.

"We can't say right now," Kurama answered.

"Why?"

"Because it isn't safe here."

"Why?"

"Because it isn't..."

"Why?"

"Because we said so," Kurama tried to finalize, more than a little annoyed at the game she was playing.

Vt frowned. "Don't you trust us?"

"It's not that, it's not safe here."

"Why?"

"Baka ningen, stop asking why!!" Hiei growled angrily. When everyone stared at him, he scowled some more and left the room.

--------------------------

For the next twenty minutes, the four sat in silence, Vt sitting on the window ledge, bumping her heels on the wall. Out of boredom, Vt looked out the window. Her eyes widened and her face grew even more pale when she saw a familiar red-head struggling to get away before she was forced into a black limousine.

"Guys, Mizu's being kidnaped!!!" Vt cried as she continued to watch. The others gathered around the window, struggling to see, but all they could make out was a black form being tossed into the limo as the door was shut.

"Well what are we waiting for, let's go!!!!" Kuwabara said as he threw back his fist to knock out the glass.

"Hold it!" Yusuke said, making Kazuma stop before his fist hit the window. "If you do that, it's gonna alert all of the nurses around here, and then we'll never catch em. Kurama, you go and find Botan, tell her what's happened. Vt, call a nurse and have them call the police-"

"No! I'm going to go catch the bastards who are kidnaping Mizu!!"

"Vt, you won't be able to keep up with us. Besides, you can't track Hiei's energy, if that was him they threw in. Please, just stay here and alert the police, ok??" Furious, Vt stomped out of the room, but knew there wasn't much she could do. "Let's go, Kuwabara!!"

The two ran down the stairs as fast as they could, but by the time they got to where the car had been, it was gone.

“Damn!” Yusuke said. “Alright, time to do some energy hunting...” Yusuke tried sensing Hiei's energy, but couldn't find it, which could mean one of two things: Hiei was either dead, or unconscious. Yusuke hoped it was the latter.

------------------------

“Nurse!!!...Nurse!!!!” Vt shouted down the hall on her way to nurse's station. “What the...” Vt pondered out loud. The halls and help desk that were normally bustling with activity were completely empty. “Helloooooooooooooooo?!” Vt echoed into a deserted hallway. Ignoring the need to find a nurse, Vt stepped into the back office to find a phone. To her surprise, she found the reason as to why the nurses and doctors weren't wandering around: they were lying unconscious on the floor. “Talk about lying down on the job,” Vt said as she used the phone to call the cops.

------------------------

“Kidnaped?!?!? Oh, great!!!” Botan said through the communicator.

“ What's wrong, Botan?” Kurama asked after he had explained what had happened.

“I just found out from Koenma: those are the two you're looking for!!!”

“Perfect...”

-----------------------

“Hiei, wake up!” Mizu pleaded, gently slapping the side of his face. “Hiei, please!!!” This time she got a groan out of him.

“Ugh, what happened?” He said as he sat up, rubbing his temple.

“I don't know. I thought the nurse was taking me to get my wrist rebandaged, but then she opened a backdoor into an alley; that's when I felt like I was being pushed into this car, so I struggled. Then they threw you in with me.”

“All I can remember is following you and then getting hit on the side of my head,” he grumbled. Suddenly, the car stopped and the right door opened. On the other side was the right entrance to another limousine, this one white. Both doors opened to create a small hallway, so that the both of them couldn't run away until they could jump quite high. Otherwise, there was no one there.

“I guess we're supposed to go into the other one,” Mizu said.

Get out of the car, but when we get to the middle, hang on, Hiei said into her mind. She stepped out of the car, and once Hiei had gotten out, he swiftly picked her up and jumped on top of the white car. From there, he began jumping from one side of the building to the other. Mizu, being afraid of heights, held on a little tighter with each jump. Once Hiei reached the top of the skyscraper, he set Mizu down on her feet.

“Where are you going?!” Mizu asked when Hiei turned around to jump back down to the alley.

“Going to get some answers. I wanna know who and why-“ but he was interrupted as a black floating apparition flew up from the alleyway. “Mizu, get out of here,” Hiei said as he drew his sword. Sensing that she wasn't moving, he looked behind him to see Mizu frozen in fear. “Mizu, snap out of it!!!” Suddenly, the once stationary apparition lunged towards Mizu. “Fist of the Mortal Flame!!!” But the attack went straight through the black mass like a plane would a cloud, and the thing kept it's course. Hiei raised his sword in defense when the wretched thing reared back, screaming in a piercing voice, and dove back into the alley. “What was that thing?” He asked. Not receiving an answer, Hiei turned around to look at a blue aura outlining Mizu, who was squatting with her hands and arms protectively covering her entire neck, her eyes shut tight. He dared to touch the aura with his index finger, and when he pulled it away, the tip of of finger had the same glowing effect, as well as a warm tingling feeling.

“It's gone now,” he said. Slowly, Mizu got up, and as she did, the aura faded away.

“What...What was it?” Mizu asked shakily.

“I don't know, but I'm going to find out,” he replied. He was about to jump off the edge of the building when Mizu's hand stopped him.

“Wait,” Hiei looked at her with a raised eyebrow. “I-I don't think you should go after it.”

“Why not?”

“That thing...It was in my dream...” She said. Intrigued by the mysterious nightmare she had had that made her go running out of her hospital room and away from him, he turned around.

“What did it do?”

“It...it slit my throat,” she said as she unconsciously put a hand to her neck. “I could feel the blood filling up my lungs, drowning me...”

“If you think it's going to kill me, you're sorely mistaken.”

“No, that's not it.”

“Then what? I don't have time to play guessing games, Mizu.”

“I can't tell you...”

“Why? Why can't you tell me? It must not be so important if you `can't' tell me.”

“I can't tell you because it's too distressing...too disturbing...”

“If you won't tell me, why don't I just look for myself,”

“No!!” She said, shaking her head back and forth.

“Hn,” Hiei grunted. He turned around to follow after the apparition again when she stopped him again. “What!” He yelled.

“I WAS going to apologize, but if you want to be jerk about it then fine, you...you...gouzen ken gumin baka(arrogant and ignorant idiot)!!” She yelled, then she stomped off to the door that would lead to the stairs.

“Hn, ningens...” Hiei said to himself. “Why do I even bother...”

Ok, I've got writer's block at this point in the story, so I'll just need to start off somewhere in the next chapter, no problem!! I hope you enjoyed, though it wasn't very exciting, in my opinion.
