Chapter 18:

 

Kuwabara cringed waiting for the final blow that would surely end his life. It never came. Kuwabara opened his eyes and looked to see why he wasn't in spirit world yet. One of the guards, that had run to tell the others, was standing between him and the war hammer wielding guard. Senko stepped out from the hallway and chanted something; the guard under her control now attacked one of his own. The war hammer guard screamed as the other guards hand protruded though his chest and out of his back. The one guard's black heart still twitched and beat, though the blood that was left in the heart dripped onto the marble floor. Yusuke and Kuwabara stared wide eyed at the guards, then over to Senko.

“What just happened?” Yusuke asked, since he was the first one to gain the use of his voice. Senko smiled mysteriously.

“He agreed to join me for this mission” Senko said, she moved over and drew a hidden dagger, she slit the mind controlled guard's throat, killing him instantly. “Now, we have to hurry.” She said, wiping the blade on one of the dead guards clothing. `Disgusting creatures' Senko thought, heading towards the hallway, Yusuke moved over to Kuwabara and checked to see if he was alright before following after the female demon. Kuwabara followed also.

Dr. Ichigaki glared at the door after he left the throne room. He didn't like taking orders from that red headed bastard, but since Rando promised revenge, he agreed to help. He turned to go back to his laboratory, only to run into Kujirada. “Watch where you are going you stupid reptile!” He growled low in his throat and narrowed his eyes. Kujirada glared at the troll.

“You're the one who walked into me, Doctor” He said, his voice dripping in distain at the last part of his sentence. Dr. Ichigaki glared at him and walked on, not rising to the challenge. Kujirada watched him leave before going into the throne room. He walked up to the throne and bowed. “You called for me Milord.” He said. He didn't see the rage enter Rando's face.

Rando stood and moved down the dais and back handed Kujirada across the face. “I told you not to touch her” He growled out. Kujirada stumbled backwards, recoiling from the hit. He held his cheek, looking up at the stronger demon.

“I didn't touch her”
“Don't Lie to Me…” Rando said, reaching for a video tape. “I have the proof right here” Kujirada blinked.

“I…” He stuttered. “Honestly I didn't know. She provoked me. It wouldn't show on that tape” Rando narrowed his eyes. He knew the reptile was lying, but he'd deal with him later.

“Get out of my sight” Rando ordered. Kujirada was only too happy to oblige. He ran from the room. He slinked down the corridor towards the doctor's laboratory.

Kurama and Hiei landed on the ground on the other side of the wall. The guards were elsewhere for the time being. They moved to the castle and slipped inside as one of the guards turned the corner.

“I think that finding Kira is our safest bet.” Kurama suggested.

“If we run into Gouki, you go on and find Kira, I'll take care of him.” Hiei said as they slipped though the door. Kurama led them, disarming any traps as they came across them. Silently, they ran though the corridors, knocking out the guards that got in the way. As the corridors got wider and longer Kurama and Hiei slowed their pace a little, saving their energy for the upcoming fights. They paused in a door way, hearing a guarded corridor. Hiei started to unwrap the bandages on his right arm, only to have Kurama stop him.

“What the hell? We don't have time for this.” Hiei whispered, not caring to kill anyone just as long as he got to make sure his mate was okay.

“There are other ways of dealing with things like this. Conserve your energy” Kurama said, reaching into his hair. Hiei stopped and watched his brother in law. Kurama pulled out a seed. He fed it some of his ki, it took more of youko's ki than his own to bloom, thus changing forms as he made the flower bloom. He gently shook the pollen loose. “You…er should cover your nose and mouth.”

“Why?” Hiei demanded, “Fool, we don't have time for this.”

“Damn it Hiei…Just do it.” Kurama growled at Hiei, his golden eyes looked up at Hiei from his crouched position.

“Why?”

“This …er… is sleeping pollen… except for youkos, they are immune to that.”

“What makes you so special?” Hiei asked, moving his white scarf off of his neck.

“It has the opposite reaction…it gets us horny.”

Hiei and Kurama looked at each other then away, both blushing.

“Don't worry, I have the antidote.” Kurama promised. Hiei grunted and covered his mouth and nose. He looked up at the fox and nodded.

“Let's do it.” Hiei said, opening the door. Kurama blew the pollen into the air and closed the door. The two demons waited for the thuds of bodies. After the last body hit the ground, Kurama opened the door.

“Okay its safe now” Kurama said, moving out into the hallway. Closer. Each step they took brought them closer to their goal. To save a mate and sister and destroy the ones that hurt her.

They sprinted to the other door. Hiei was about to slice down the door when Kurama opened it for him. Hiei moved through the door. Another hallway it looked like. The end of the hallway was shadowed. Both Hiei and Kurama narrowed their eyes; they both knew the ki signature that stood at the other end of the hallway.

“Well, I wondered when you two would show up. The little lady was such a treat.” Gouki smiled, it wasn't a pleasant smile at all.

“Where's Kira?” Kurama asked. Both he and Hiei were seething after his previous comment, but if he was dead, then they couldn't get any information out of him.

“Hmm…let me think.” Gouki said, pulling slightly on his chin in a thoughtful manner.

“Don't let it strain yourself” Kurama quipped, his mind calculating. “if he's here then we are closer to Kira. He wouldn't have left her on the other side of the castle. He's not that smart after all.” He thought. Next to him Hiei started to draw his sword.

Gouki growled at the insult. “You'll pay for that statement Kurama.” He said. “Oh wait, Little Kira already paid” He smirked. Kurama felt his insides freeze in horror then boil in anger. He was about to speak but Hiei beat him to it.

“You better have not touched her with your disgusting hands.” Hiei growled, stepping forward. The whites in Hiei's eyes flashed red as he finished drawing his sword.

“Or what?” Gouki challenged. That was going to be the last mistake he was ever going to make.

“You'll pay for all that you did to her … with your life.” Hiei charged forward, moving faster than the normal eye could see. Even Kurama had a problem keeping watch of Hiei's movements as he moved onward and upward into the tower.
