Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Fire or Ice? ❯ Mission Disaster ( Chapter 11 )

I've been wanting to thank everyone personally from the beginning, but I'm just getting around to it now. Sorry about that. Anyway, here it goes.

 

Icefire2- Thank you very much. Yeah, Ruri is a little screwed in the head. I got the idea for her from Elizabeth Bathory. U know who she is?

 

Blackfire*101- Do you like my cliffhangers?

 

Kyo's little Koneko- Thanks, I like it when people like my oc's and can relate to them. Don't know if you can, but it's still nice to know that she isn't pathetic or anything.

 

Loveable- M- I'm glad you like.

 

Light seer- Thanks for the advice. But, you say that my character is a Mary Sue. Well, if you would have read a little bit more carefully, than you would have found that she is not. She's not perfect. You can tell by the way she's confused about a lot of things, and has problems controlling her powers. And, she has anger issues, just like me. Except, I don't blow things up.

 

Does anyone else out there think that Arc is a Mary Sue?

 

Courntrygirl182- Hiei's back! Don't you love me?

 

Kaiserdragon52- Poor Kurama!

 

Jingenji- Yeah, Hiei is out of character. But, it is hard to make it believable when it's Hiei and an oc story. So, thanks for realizing that.

 

Starlight-dagger- Thanks. I'm glad you like it so far.

 

xXDaRkNeSs RoSeInEsExX- I will always continue this story. Even if no one read it, which is true in some of my other stories. This is my first Yu Yu fic. I usually write Gundam Wing fics, and I have some really good ones, but no one likes to take the time to read and review them. Tear! Oh well.

 

Kokoro Sabishii- Thanks. I'm glad that she's easy to relate to. Don't worry, I ramble also, and I like it when people give me long reviews. I read your story by the way, and I liked it. I'm about to read the new chapters you just put up. And I will review, i always do. Oh, and I thought that I might tell you an awesome manga, called Naruto. It is absolutely wonderful, and I think that you would enjoy it. Check it out!

 

Saiya-Flame-Urameshi- Thanks for the review. I'm so excited that people actually like this story, you being one of them.

 

M.I.A.- Thanks, and like I said earlier. I do have other stories. Just not any more Yu Yu ones. But, I have some Gundam Wing ones, and my friend and I are about to write one for Naruto. Hope you check them out.

 

Dude, identity is not important- Don't worry, there is no rape in this story. I would never ever let anything like that happen to Arc. Glad you like the story.

 

Reborn-soul-09- Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. Don't worry, I think Kurama will get over it. He has too many girls all over him, and besides, I don't think he would be able to handle Arc, on some levels anyway.

 

PsychoFreak48- Hey bitch. What's up? Everyone, this is my friend that I have co-authored a different story with. She's awesome. I love her. She and I are also going to write the Naruto fanfic together. So, yeah. Bye, Shell Shell. Oh, she hates it when I call her that. Mwuhahahahaha

 

SpiritFlame- Thank you very much!

 

Fate's Child Destiny's Friend- Ha ha, it's addictive? I'm glad! I'm evil. Seriously, my friends, family, and even my boyfriend say that I have an evil witch, world dominating laugh. Huh? Guess I never noticed before.

 

Squirrelmaster- Thanks!

 

Redandblackroses- Sorry, but I can't give away too much.

 

OneNightOneDream- Thank you!

 

YouKiyra Solar- Thanks!

 

QueenofTheShadowFangs- I don't know if I want Kurama to have a girlfriend or not. I might write a sequel to this, and have some random girl pop up and have her and Kurama go for it, but it wouldn't be for that purpose. Anyway, I'm glad you like this.

 

XxnoxfearxX- Thanks, and I will check out you stories soon, promise!

 

Chapter Eleven (finally)

Mission Disaster

 

When Arc woke up the next morning, Hiei was gone.

 

She stayed in bed for about two hours, just staring at the empty space beside her.

 

'Why did he leave me', she asked herself.

 

No one answered.

 

When she finally got out of bed, she went to take a bath, and grabbed a pair of her own clothes.

 

'I'll burn this later', she told herself, as she ripped off the blue dress and tossed it to the side of the room.

 

After scrubbing herself to the point where she was bleeding slightly, she got out and dressed.

 

She walked into the living room to see everybody there, except Hiei. She momentarily froze, before thinking, 'No! Where his he?'

 

“Hiei's outside”, Kurama said, not turning away from the T.V. screen.

 

“...oh”, she said, as she went off into the kitchen.

 

She didn't see Hiei that day, nor talk to him the next.

 

XXXXX

 

Arc had stayed at Genkai's for about a week and a half, doing nothing but training. She was upset and angry, as Hiei and the others could tell. Hiei felt like it was his fault that she did all of this, just because he was too weak too defend himself against Ruri. He just couldn't look at her the same; knowing that he could of lost her, just because he was so weak. And the sympathy that she showed for him, he couldn't understand. He just couldn't see how she was worried about him when she became a prisoner of Ruri.

 

Each day, as before, she would leave early in the morning, and come back late at night. Sometimes she didn't come home until sometime late the next day, as well as Hiei. Nothing seemed to wear her out. She was always on the watch, always waking up at night, and not eating right. She just couldn't let it go.

 

It was her fault that Hiei had been hurt. It was hers', and Ruri's.

 

She would make sure that neither of them could ever hurt any of them, ever again.

 

She would kill Ruri, if it was the last thing she ever did.

 

During the second week that she was there she left during the night, thinking that no one else was awake.

 

“Where do you think you're going”, a voice from behind her asked.

 

She turned around and stared at two garnet orbs, that shone brightly from the moon light beaming down on them.

 

“Hiei”, she said with her head bent down.

 

“Why”, he asked in a commanding voice.

 

“I can't stay... this is something I need to do by myself”, she said with her head still bowed.

 

Without a second to blink, Hiei popped up in front of her, and she stumbled back.

 

“You're not leaving!”

 

“Hiei...”, she couldn't stop staring into his eyes. They made her feel even more guilty at how she was just leaving them without even telling them goodbye. But, it was for the best. If she was gone, than Ruri wouldn't come after them. They would be safe.

 

“I can't stay”, she said more firmly as she stared coldly into his eyes.

 

'I'm doing this for you Hiei', she thought.

 

'I'm doing it for all of you.'

 

He just stared at her, looking her dead in the eye.

 

“No”, he said with determination.

 

Before she could protest, Hiei grabbed her and carried her back into the temple.

 

“Hiei”, she almost screamed as he threw her down on the couch.

 

“You're staying”, he said in a finalized voice, as he stared at her coldly.

 

She stood up and said, “No, I'm not!”

 

He pushed her back down and smirked as she sighed and tried to get back up, only to be slammed further against the couch.

 

“Hiei, you ass hole”, she muttered.

 

“Tsc tsc, what a mouth”, he mocked.

 

She swung her arm at him, and he caught it with no problem and grinned even wider if possible.

 

“I believe you just tried to assault me in my own house”, he teased.

 

“What-”

 

“That means I can put you under house arrest until the police get here.”

 

“Hiei-”

 

He grabbed her as she tried to sneak past him, and threw her into her room. He took the bed sheets off the bed and tied her feet together, and around her hands.

 

“Too bad I forgot to call the police”, he said with a grin that couldn't be seen in the darkness.

 

Arc struggled against the binds and Hiei's amused tone of voice. She wanted to scream, but he had shoved a dirty sock into her mouth.

 

“My my, aren't you quite the rascal.”

 

She spit out the sock and growled, as he sat on her wiggling body.

 

“Ow, you're heavy!”

 

“Well, if you would stop trying to escape, than I wouldn't have to sit on you.”

 

She stopped struggling and he got off of her.

 

“Just be lucky that I didn't shove one of Kuwabara's socks in your mouth”, he said.

 

“If you did, than I'd kiss you, and see how much you liked the taste in your mouth”, she grumbled.

 

Hiei became very quiet and told her to shut up, as he backed up into the corner of the room.

 

It wasn't long before Arc gave up. Hiei was one damn good knot tier.

 

“Damn you Hiei”, she mumbled as she drifted off to sleep.

 

“You have no idea”, he answered back, as he watched her sleep from the dark corner of the room.

 

XXXXX

 

Arc woke up the next morning with the sheets wrapped around her, but not in knots. She shot up and fell out of bed, as the ones still tied to her legs brought her down.

 

She grumbled and untied them.

 

“Damn you Hiei! You sick, twisted bastar-”, she stopped short as Hiei suddenly appeared in front of her, making her fall on her back.

 

“Hiei”, she screamed in a frightened tone.

 

“Hn.”

 

“Don't you Hn me”, she commanded.

 

Which didn't work.

 

“Hn.”

 

“God damn you”, she jumped at him and they tumbled around on the floor for a few seconds before Yusuke came in the room, yelling Hiei's name.

 

Yusuke started laughing and yelling for everyone to come and see the, “Two Lovebirds”, as he called them.

 

Hiei threw Arc off of him and jumped up to grab the detective by the collar of his shirt.

 

He growled and Yusuke scrambled out of his grasp, and ran down the hall.

 

Hiei chased him, and than beat him up. What else is new?

 

Arc got off her ass and went to the living room to see Yusuke sprawled out on the floor with his butt in the air. Kuwabara was laughing his ass off, and Kurama was talking to Botan.

 

'Botan', Arc questioned in her mind.

 

“Oh Arc, I'm glad you're all right”, she squealed as she hugged Arc.

 

Botan than turned to the heap known as Yusuke on the floor.

 

“Hiei, you know you didn't have to beat him up that badly? We still need him for this mission, even if he is an idiot”, she sighed heavily as Yusuke stood up and started to yell in his defense.

 

Botan bopped him over the head.

 

“So, are you four coming”, she asked annoyed.

 

Hiei looked at Arc and than said, “She's coming with us!”

 

“OK”, Botan answered as she led them outside and opened a portal.

 

Hiei basically dragged Arc out there, and than just picked her up and slung her over his shoulder and carried her through the portal.

 

“Hiei, put me down”, she screamed.

 

“I did not go through all that trouble last night just to let you run away today”, he answered her in a calm voice that made her stop kicking for a few minutes.

 

He dropped her on her butt when they arrived on the other side of the portal.

 

She looked around and wondered where in the hell they were. Botan answered before she could even ask.

 

“All right, Koenma wants you guys to take care of the smelly ogre that lives here. His name is Raidon, and he controls lightning and thunder. So, have fun”, she told them in her bubbly voice.

 

“Why do we have to get rid of him”, Arc asked.

 

Before Botan could say anything, Hiei interrupted her.

 

“You're here so that you can't try to run away again. You are not helping us in any way”, he said sternly.

 

“Why would you run away”, Yusuke and Kuwabara asked.

 

Kurama and Botan stayed silent.

 

“She tried to run away last night while we were asleep”, Hiei answered, as he stared daggers into her.

 

“WHAT”, they both said in unison.

 

Arc growled.

 

“I'll explain later. But, right now, WE need to take care of this ogre. Since I'm here, I might as well help. I'm not going to just sit around and just watch you guys have all the fun.”

 

She stood up and walked off towards the castle, with everyone looking after her.

 

“You all are just going to let her go by herself”, Botan asked.

 

“Oh”, Yusuke mumbled as he followed her. Then they all followed, feeling rather stupid.

 

“Arc, wait up! You don't even know where you're going”, Yusuke yelled after her.

 

She slowed down, and than asked, “And you do?”

 

“Well...”

 

“Didn't think so.”

 

They caught up with her, and Hiei pulled her beside him.

 

“You better not get the shit beaten out of you”, he said, not looking at her.

 

“What a nice way to tell me to be careful Hiei. Thanks”, she said sarcastically.

 

“Shut up, you two”, Yusuke whispered as they neared a small door on the side of the castle.

 

Botan was already gone by the time they creeped into the castle.

 

They walked through the darkness, raising their senses as they couldn't see very much.

 

They soon reached a circular room that had torches on all sides, and opened archways that led to more dark corridors. They decided to split up, and take a different path. They each took a torch off the wall, and went down one of the corridors.

 

Hiei was about to take Arc with him, but he resisted the urge, and kept on telling himself to go on. As long as he could feel her presence, than he knew that she was safe.

 

Kuwabara shone the light on the floor and celling every few seconds, afraid that spiders or rats might jump on him. He jumped when a rat ran across his shoe, and he ran down the hallway, and hit a door.

 

“Ow”, he grumbled as he tried to open the door.

 

“It's locked.”

 

“Oh well, guess I'll just have to break it down”, he said with a grin.

 

He broke down the door, and fell on the floor inside.

 

He looked up at a pair of petite feet, and continued to look up until his eyes came across the persons face.

 

He jumped up and almost fell down again as he looked down this time at her.

 

She backed away from him, looking a bit frightened.

 

“Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you”, he soothed.

 

“Who a-are you”, she asked in a soft, trembling voice, that reminded him of Yukina.

 

“I am Kzuma Kuwabara. And I am here to kill the evil demon that did this to you”, he said as he stuck his chest out.

 

She smiled slightly, as the visible tears left her red eyes.

 

“Do you know how to get to him”, he asked.

 

She nodded her head, sending her long silver hair over her shoulders.

 

“Lead the way.”

 

She went out the door, her back straightened as she became a bit bolder. Kuwabara didn't note any of this as he followed her.

 

XXXXX

 

Yusuke came across a dungeon room with a few demon girls, scantly dressed, that were chained up to the wall.

 

'Thank you, whoever is up there', he thought as he stared at their low cut dresses. He continued to stare at them and up the sides of the dresses that had long slits that went up to their thighs.

 

He helped them down and carried two of them out of there, seeing as the third one could walk a little.

 

“So, what are you three doing down here”, he asked the girl that walked behind him.

 

“R-raidon likes to.... collect us”, she stuttered.

 

“You won't have to worry about him anymore. He'll soon be dead”, he said with assurance.

 

She laughed and than said, “Oh no, Detective. Not him but, You!”

 

The torch she held clattered to the ground as the two demons he held attacked him, and the third one jumped on his back. Two of them bit him before he threw them off. The one on his back bit his neck, and he fell over on his knees.

 

“Ah.... What the hell”, he mumbled as the blood that gushed out of his neck and arms turned black.

 

“Have a good sleep, detective”, she said as he blacked out.

 

XXXXX

 

Kurama thought it odd to find prisoners at the castle, since Botan didn't mention any. But, he couldn't just leave them there.

 

He had two blue haired, and green eyed demons on either side of him as he walked down the corridor, holding the torch.

 

'Why don't they have anything wrong with them? They're not bleeding or anything, not even a bruise?'

 

His questions were soon answered as the light from the torch suddenly turned to ice, and shattered. The two demons attacked him. He shoved one of them roughly into the wall, but the other one that was on his right side bit his throat, and he dropped the now extinguished torch.

 

He flipped her over on her back, and tried to run away, but the other one grabbed his leg. He kicked her off and ran for it. But, he didn't make it far, as his vision blurred, and he couldn't make out anything.

 

He fell to the floor and started to cough up black blood. He held onto his neck, where the beast had bitten him, and felt warm liquid run down his hand. He fell to the floor, and the two demons each grabbed an arm and dragged him off.

 

XXXXX

 

Hiei and Arc were now the only ones left that had not been captured. They hadn't realized that they were being tricked. Not yet, anyway.

 

Hiei was the first one to stumble across his prison guard. Even though he put up a good fight, she was overwhelmingly stronger than him, which is why she was sent specifically after him.

 

Her poison drifted through his blood stream and dripped to the ground as she carried his limp body over her shoulder.

 

He was her prize. And his, was the her arm that she carried in her hand.

 

Red and black blood dripped in unison to the floor.

 

XXXXX

 

Arc stumbled across a highly raised ceilinged room, that had devilish paintings of torture on the walls. A grand bed was against one of the stone walls, and was covered in red velvet blankets and curtains.

 

A freshly painted portrait rested on a stand close to the bed. She walked over to it and peaked at it under the light cloth that was draped over it.

 

It was a painting of herself and someone very familiar to her.

 

“I'm so glad you could join me, Archer. Don't you like the painting? I got one of the ningens from your world to paint it for me, of course it doesn't compare to your real beauty. Since he couldn't actually see you. I had to help him out a bit. But, it worked out well in the end. Well, not for him.”

 

Cold laughter filled her ears as she turned around and stared at the one person she vowed to kill. But, she felt paralyzed. She couldn't move, couldn't speak, she couldn't even breath. Even as that laughter echoed off the celling, and hit her ears, making her heart sink into the ground.

 

XXXXX

 

Oh, I kinda messed up in the first few chapters when I described the way that Arc looked. I've always pictured her with light blue hair and light blue eyes. But, I accidentaly put that she has dark blue hair. Which isn't true! Sorry! So, what you think of this chapter? Sorry it took me so long to update. Anyway, hope you enjoyed it.

 

Later,

Robin
