Ok, The font will not grow anymore; again, I'm sorry about the size of that font on chapter 2. Anyway, back to the normal credit I give Yoshihiro Togashi for making up Yu Yu Hakusho, I didn't. PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO FLAMES EITHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"NO! Please! I'm begging you! I didn't mean to, I swear! PLEASE?" Came a voice a couple rooms down from Kurama, Yukina, and Apollo. All three were silent, and rushed over to the room. Someone forgot to close the door all the way, so they could peek in. A young boy, no older than 12 was standing there handcuffed. A huge crowd was around him, as he cried. A man was holding an axe above the boy's head. Kurama took a seed from his ruby red hair, and immediately, the axe was gone away from the man, and the handcuffs were gone by a dark green plant. The boy ran away, out of the room, and Kurama, Yukina, and Apollo ran after him. They each entered the same room, the room next to the room Kurama first met when he came. When the young boy opened the door, the four stood there for a moment at there only chance for living. The room was huge, and perfectly clean and empty. A mouse couldn't hide inside that room. It was enormous, and it looked like it might never end. But when Kurama stepped into the room, he could see the ending point. Hiei, please… come to me, oh Hiei… I wish I were with Hiei, not stranded here… Immediately, guards rushed inside the room. They took the young boy into the other room again, while the other three left him alone. In a minute, they heard a quick scream, then Silence. The boy was gone. Kurama realized you couldn't work things out with this king. He was just plain evil. Guards came back into the empty spare room.

"AAAHHH! Let me go you- you- you stupid armor wearing idiotic pig!" A guard took Apollo's arms and covered his mouth. Another one took Yukina, and Yukina said "Goodbye, Kurama. I do hope I will see you again!" Her eyes were teary, and jewels fell from her eyes as she cried and was led away.

Kurama could hear Apollo screaming at a guard in the hallway. "WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME, MEANIE??"

"SHUT UP, AND I MIGHT TELL YOU! AND HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A STUPID ARMOR WEARING IDIOTIC PIG!!!!!!!!!" came the guards voice. This guard must have been pretty stupid, because the two were fighting over what names to call each other.

"You, my Youko, will come with me." Kurama felt hands touch his own shoulders. Then he blinked twice, and turned around. A plump man wearing a gold crown with sparkling jewels all over it was standing right next to him holding Kurama's shoulders.

"Who are you?" said Kurama, already knowing who he was.

"King Hintou, but do call me Hintou, my love." Said that nasty king, right in front of him. Who does this king think he is? Why would I love him when there's Hiei? Kurama felt he shouldn't say anything, but was thinking terrible thoughts to himself.

"Shuichi. Turn into Youko Kurama now. If you do not, I will kill your mother and your beloved Hiei."

"But I do not know how." Kurama's body felt sick and he just wanted to go home. He tried to take out a seed from his hair, but his hand trembled too much. He could barely even move his mouth. "You will not destroy my Hiei, or my mother. But not Hiei. I will kill you before you destroy either one of them."

"Then because you do not know how, you will spend the rest of your precious life doing slaves work. Off you go!" About five guards came into the room. Suddenly everything went black.

"Get up, you fool!" Kurama felt his voice box in action, for he screamed very loudly. He felt a touch hit is back, and it happened again, and again, and again. Each time this touch occurred, he screamed. Every second, the touch became harder, and harder, and harder. At last, he was awake, and realized this touch was not a hard slap, but a whipping of a whip. Kurama didn't know where he was, or what he was doing, but he stood up. More Guards untied him from string he didn't realize was on. One handed him a bucket full of rags soap, water, and paper towels. He looked around him and saw a filthy floor full of dirt and dust, and messy windows full of prints of all sorts. Kurama understood what he had to do, and the guards left the area. The room was large with a lot of windows, and Kurama knew he had much work to do.

**** Botan hurried up to Koenma's room, and pulled Yusuke and Kuwabara with her.

"Yusuke. I've heard and seen The River Styx is gone, along with the Golden Seal. I've identified where they are, and they are with King Hintou. Also-" The door opened loudly and quickly. Hiei stood there, out of breath. He came in and said, "Where's Kurama? I can't believe I let him disappear in front of me like that. I- I- I don't understand. I just don't understand."

"Whoa, Hiei. You are acting really odd." Yusuke teased Hiei for a moment, when Koenma said, "As I was saying… The Koorime that goes by the name Yukina was kidnapped to be a slave, along with Kurama." Hiei jolted, and then froze. Koenma told Kuwabara, "Go get Hiei some water please." Kuwabara ran away. In about 5 seconds, He came back and said, "Where do I get water?"

* * * "Now that Kuwabara is gone, I will tell Yusuke what the deal with Yukina is." Koenma said when Kuwabara ran off the second time. "She's Hiei's sister. Kuwabara mustn't know, though." Kuwabara ran back in and poored the water on Hiei. Then a picture of Yukina appeared on the big screen. Kuwabara stared into her eyes, and his face turned bright red.

Suzaku walked into the room. "I have an idea to save the three trapped in the castle." Although I can't believe I have to do this stupid work…

***Finally, I finished! Thought Kurama, and looked outside. It was late afternoon, and soon the sun would go down. Kurama smiled, although he wasn't happy. If you hadn't known that, you would've thought he was happy to be a slave by his smile. To his surprise, guards came into the room and said, "Come here." Kurama got up, and the guards took him to a new room, and threw him into a kitchen, where he saw Yukina washing dishes.

"Kurama!" She shouted excitedly, when she noticed him. "I'm so glad your ok!"

"Yes, I'm glad to see you, too!" Kurama said thoughtfully. He looked around. Broken and dirty dishes were everywhere, and rotted food and drinks were on the floors. Sake bottles were shattered, too. To his luck, he had no shoes at all. "This castle is filthy."

"Yes, I do agree, but I still feel bad for that little boy. He didn't do anything, and we couldn't save him." Another crystal came down and hit the floor.

Kurama didn't know what to say, for he couldn't do anything either. So, instead of talking about the boy he decided to talk about--- someone else. He said after a couple moments of silence, "I wonder if we'll see Apollo again." Yukina stopped crying, and looked up in the most curious way. She blushed and said to herself,

"I wonder-" but she was interrupted by more guards coming in and pulling them both away. Kurama told himself, "first they tell us to do chores, while telling us to go somewhere else…" They came to a door, and when they opened it, they could see it would take a good 30 minutes to get down all those stairs. After a dull half hour of just walking down, at last they reached an entrance to a new place. When the door opened, a huge dining room they entered. It was very fancy, and then the King Hintou came in. He forced Kurama and Yukina to look out the window. A beautiful river was glistening. Then he held up something golden. Slyly, he put it away. He pulled off Kurama's shirt, while Kurama got that same uneasy and terrible feeling. He couldn't speak, but in his mind, he thought, What are you doing, and let me go!! Soon, the Guard that had been "mean" to Apollo came in and handed the king a whip. Kurama slowly felt his heart stop, and his body froze. Who was up to this, King Hintou? What did Kurama do? Why was he to be whipped again? How should Kurama take this pain? When was he to be rescued? Where was Hiei? At last, the pain eased against his back. He felt the blood come out from inside him the last words he heard were "KURAMA!!! NO!!! PLEASE DON'T HURT HIM!" as he felt one of Yukina's Crystals hit his back.

*** Hiei woke up quite quickly, hearing Kurama was a slave. And also, Yukina. Hiei's sister he'd been searching for. He saw Kuwabara looking at the screen with Yukina's picture on it. He also noticed his look of love. At once, Hiei said to Kuwabara, "What are you thinking, you fool?"

Then Suzaku's voice came from behind him. "I have a plan." He spoke with intelligence. "Listen. I've found that dimension with Hintou. I think Koenma could take us there when I show him the information. I know Koenma wouldn't have found it until maybe three weeks, so I took the time of my own. You see, I think we could…"

Yo! Ok I hope you liked the chapter. Nothing much to say, so BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry if there is a white spot below. Oh yes, Kuwabara couldn't know about Yukina being Hiei's sister because he would tell the whole world with his big mouth….
