59Hello. Carinne here. I'm writing this chapter and be warned, there is some Latin in this chappie. There are translation notes at the end so read those. Well…nothing much to say besides enjoy!
Dislaimer: We don't own YYH. We are only borrowing them to play with. So please don't sue. You won't get much only pocket lint and maybe some gay Skittles which we also don't own but there's this really funny story that happened in Science class there was a manly Skittle and then there was a Skittle with dimples and we named them Eiri Yuki and Shuiichii Shindou and and I'm gonna shut up now…
-o-o-
Hiei opened his eyes to find himself in a dark room. There were candelabras everywhere and a sickly sweet scent was filling the air. He felt dizzy and disorientated as if he had been hit in a pressure point. He looked around slowly, taking in his new surroundings. There were no windows or doors that he could see. The sparse walls were covered with black, silver and deep midnight blue hangings to make up for the lack of anything else. There were some squishy pillows around the room and Hiei found that they were actually quite comfortable.
A sudden movement behind him made him try and look behind him to see what it was. Struck by a wave of dizziness he fell over onto the floor. Looking up as far as his dazed state would allow him, he found himself face to face with a pair of plush leather boots.
/Damn bastard must have drugged me…/ He thought, glaring as much as he could.
"Indeed I have and such language is most rude, child." His voice was silky and cold, sending shivers down Hiei's spine. Getting up as best as he could he found himself chained to the floor by his wrists. Placing a cold finger under his chin, a very beautiful face bent down to look into his eyes. The demon was male with longish, shaggy white blonde hair. He had bright blue-grey eyes that seemed to pierce into ones mind. He was of lithe build and had on black and silver silk clothes that seemed to cling to his body. He aura was very sexual and cold, a mix of pleasure and pain.
"Hn. I'll say whatever the hell I want, you pansy." Hiei spat in his general direction.
"Hm…very feisty aren't you. I could fix that but…I'd rather know your name pretty one." He looked up thoughtfully. After a short pause he said, "Hiei….that is your name yes? It is very interesting that the famed Forbidden Child would be at a temple. But where are my manners. You may call me Nex Vigeo."
Nex stood up slowly, seeming to be thinking deeply. He walked in circles around the chained fire demon. Hiei just stared sullenly at the demon, realizing that this guy was so pretty that he could turn any guy gay. Well, almost any guy; Hiei would hang onto is manliness thank you very much. "Why do we always get the weird guys…" he muttered under his breath. However the underlying message was /Kurama's gonna get hit on. Again./
Caisius stopped his pacing, spinning around to look straight into blood red eyes. "Did you just think the name 'Kurama'?"
"You should know just as well as I do that one cannot lie within one's own head." Hiei retorted.
"Actually yes you can. If one is in denial. But that is another matter to discuss at a different time. So you did mention Kurama. The Great Youko I presume?"
"Yes. And since I can't beat your ass now, he'll have to do it for me."
A sinister smile spread across Nex's face. "Ah…how wonderful it will be to see you again Kurama, my old friend." And by the way that he had said the word friend, he could tell that they hadn't left in the best of company. Hiei realized that they were all somewhat screwed over.
-o-o-
Bullets whizzed by, striking at the ugly faced demons that were coming out of the walls. Vanessa's boomerang came flying out of no where hitting the ones that Carinne had missed. The demons were slow and cumbersome, easy targets but threatening all the same. They had discovered early on that their spit burned like acid and caused a numbness in the limb it touched. Thankfully Botan was there to heal most of their minor wounds. But that was one of the ONLY things they were glad to have her for.
Currently, she was nearly flat up against the wall, trembling at how close the bullets and the boomerang were whizzing by her head.
"Can't you please watch where you're aiming you twits!" She froze when Carinne turned on her, pointed her gun near her face and shot a demon that had almost bit off the grim reaper's head. "Wh-wh-wha?"
"Do you hate my aim now?" Carinne shot her a cold glare and spun on her heel, stalking down the corridor.
"You know," Vanessa said, as she wiped some demon guts off of her weapon, "she wouldn't be so pissed if you actually helped out some, besides healing us."
"Yeah well, what the heck is she doing here with us anyways? We don't even know if she is the same as you guys. She could be a regular human! Don't you feel even the least bit uncomfortable with the fact that she might get killed?" Botan pointed in the general direction Carinne had went off to.
"…I'm more uncomfortable with the look she's giving you right now." She nodded over Botan's shoulder. Carinne had a very evil look on her face that swore a very slow and painful death. "Do you think she's PMS-ing?" Vanessa tapped at her chin thoughtfully.
Grabbing the front of Botan's shirt, Carinne started the drag her down the left adjoining hall way. "Come on let's get moving, this place isn't stable. And I'm not PMS-ing for your information."
Vanessa sweatdropped. "Just throwing ideas as to why you are so…ticked off." She ran up smiling and slung an arm over her new friend's shoulder. Using a tone that betrayed her smiling face she said, "What do you think is up with this labyrinth?"
"I dunno, but its giving me the creeps. I'm just hoping that the others are okay. Oh, damn." She swore softly as she heard Botan, who was being dragged by her shirt, hit a switch and more demons came out.
Drawing their weapons once more, Vanessa idily commented, "I bet they're having better luck than we are."
"No duh."
-o-o-
BANG BANG BANG BANG!
Meagan and Olivia jumped in surprise. They had only been walking around for twenty minutes and already the fighting was starting. They could recognize the gunshots as those from Carinne's gun. Meagan frowned in disappointment. "How come we aren't getting a slice of the action!"
Olivia gave her a look, "Are you crazy? We should be glad that we don't have to deal with that! It gives us more time to find Hiei!"
"Yeah yeah, whatever. The midget can take care of himself. I wanna fight something!" She started to jump up and down, brandishing her weapons. They continued on like this for a while until, SQUOOSH!
Meagan tripped on a rope that came out of no where and fell on top of Olivia. Demons that looked like a cross between a wolf and a snake appeared on top of them. They were caught!
"This has got to be the fastest we have ever been captured." Olivia sighed in defeat.
"AWW! NO FAIR!" Meagan just beat her fists on the ground. The demons proceeded in wrapping them in their tentacle-like appendages and taking them to their master through inky black portals. The last thing they heard before the cold of the portal knocked them out, were screams of distress.
-o-o-
"KUWABARA! DUCK!" Yusuke quickly shot at a bat like demon that was going for Kuwabara's head. A few minutes after the gang had split up, the two of them had been attacked nonstop. They weren't tired of fighting, its was just that it was impeding their finding of Hiei.
The two of them ran down the hall, fending off demons left and right. Leaping over a demon and shooting it from between his legs, Yusuke reached a fork in the passageways. A sudden yell behind him made him pause. The floor had collapsed and Kuwabara was falling into the pit!
"Hang on man!" Doing a baseball slide, he snatched at his friend's hand. He grunted in exertion as he tried to pull the orange head up. He almost had him up when the floor gave under his weight and they tumbled into the abyss.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"
-o-o-
Meagan and Olivia glared at their escorts. They had been walking around for a while now and they had no idea as to where they were being taken. The air around them was getting colder and colder. They rounded one more corner and the little party stopped in front of a blank wall.
"Captus es hic Vinco." One of the guards hissed.
"Valde bonus. Intro." A cold ethereal voice echoed through the hall. As Meagan and Olivia looked around for the source, a door slowly etched itself out. Qui penetro mos nunquam reverto ut lumen. EGO animadverto tantum obscurum ut mos sulum alius was carved along the top of it, and the two gazed questioningly at it.
"What's it say?"
"Do I look like I know how to speak Latin?"
"Who knew demons spoke Latin in the first place?"
"SILENTIUM!" One of the gaurds screamed at them and forced them into the room that had appeared. There they saw a dead looking Hiei on the floor, eyes wide open and glassy.
"OH MY GOD!" Olivia started to scream shrilly. She started to try and break away from the demons and get to her boyfriend. "Hiei! Hiei! Wake up!" When she couldn't get away she broke down, sobbing.
Meagan just stood there, observing the room. She took it all in, trying to find a way out. A fog crept around their feet, wrapping its tendrils higher and higher about their bodies. Dizziness washed over them and they fell on their knees next to the prone fire demon.
"Hello, and welcome to my humble abode." A tall blonde demon stepped out from behind them. Olivia gave him a dirty look as he prodded at Hiei with his foot. "Hm. Such a pretty one…not much I could say about you." An elegant eyebrow arched as he gave the two a nasty smirk. "Now tell me…what are you doing here?"
"To save him and take you down!" Meagan said and gave him her best raspberry. "We have our friends here and we are gonna kick your butt!"
"Hm. You mean these friends?" Yusuke and Kuwabara dropped down from the black abyss that was the ceiling. They hit the ground with a sickening crunch. This time it was Meagan's turn to scream.
"You BAKA! Get up and whoop this guy's pansy ass up and down this place! Come on!" She took off her shoe and hit the poor boy on the head.
"Ow! That hurt! My head is sore enough with out you hitting it!"
Nex looked on in boredom. "Oh my, a lover's quarrel, I remember when Youko and I used to have those. Hm. Always ended satisfactory if you know what I mean. Tea?" A tray poofed out of nowhere.
"Wow. Could your pansy ass get any more pansy-like!" Yusuke yelled. "Where's your manly pride!"
"Hm. I have none at this point. But I think this makes up for it." Snapping his fingers, walls appeared out of nowhere, separating the gang into different cells. "I hope you enjoy your stay. You'll be here a while."
-o-o-
"Oh god. Snap! Run Vanessa!"
Vanessa, Carinne, and Botan were still lost. They had no idea as to where they were and Carinne was running low on ammo. A dagger could only do so much. They had done the sacred "eenie-meenie-minee-mo" and gone though one of the doors they had found. Bad choice as it had led into a room of never ending demons. The entire surface was black and the things kept coming out of nowhere.
"Run where! There's no where to run!" They began to claw desperately at the wall, trying to get some where, anywhere but there. Carinne hoisted Botan's body, up higher on her shoulder, the girl had been knocked out. "We have to break though this wall!"
They began to try and punch their way though the wall when they were sucked in. The girls screamed as icy tentacles wrapped around their bodies.
-o-o-
Kurama rounded yet another corner, back into the same hallway with the same door.
"Why are we going around in circles?" Eunice was a little apprehensive. They hadn't run into anything yet and they had heard all sorts of discouraging noises. Yet, they had been getting nowhere.
"I recognize this place…it couldn't be…" Kurama wasn't paying any attention to the girl. He was still walking at the same pace, muttering quietly to himself. His eyes kept on darting left and right and a cold sweat was trickling down his neck. Something was obviously up and Kurama was too spooked to tell.
He suddenly stopped in his tracks and gave Eunice a strange look. His eyes were glinting with slight panic and he grabbed her arm. Spinning her around he proceeded to walk down the hall way in the opposite direction. After a little while, things weren't looking so familiar anymore. Eunice couldn't tell if that was a good thing or a bad thing. Kurama continued down the new hall way but was stopped by a concerned Eunice. Planting her feet firmly on the ground she refused to move.
"Kurama? What's wrong? You've been spazzing ever since we got here. You know something. Now tell me." Taking in the determined look in her eyes and her stance, he sighed resignedly.
"Look, I can't explain it to you. Not here, not now. All I can tell you is that we need to find the others and get out. Now." He gave her a look and they ran through the door on their left.
It was a garden in there. Hanging vines filled with huge flowers and plants that gave off exotic and wonderful smells. It was beautiful. Just beautiful. Slipping her hand out of Kurama's, Eunice stopped and tried to take it in. She was always into appreciating things like this. Sight was something of utmost importance to her. When asked what sense she would miss the most she answered sight. Eunice loved to take it all in and stare.
But this wasn't a good room to do it in.
It took Kurama precious seconds to realize that he had left his girlfriend behind. He spun around just in time to see that the vines were starting to wrap their way around her body and drag her towards the plants. Yelling in panic he started to run back to her. He clawed at the vines trying to get them off of her. But they began to wrap around him.
He tried to gain control over them, but they wouldn't listen, Kurama was quickly dragged along as well.

Visit me soon at my link in gaara no suna's profile. We have a more mature co-write up there. Check it out. I have stuff coming as well. Read my Strawberry Gashes fic. Its not that bad if I do say so my self…
Olivia: Are you advertising your writing again?
Carinne: …ummm…yes? I have only around like 20 reviews! I don't feel the love!
Olivia: uh huh.
Carinne: Anyways, I will ask Olivia if I can do the next chapter as well. I have Nex and Kurama's story to tell. That or it will have to wait for later….I dunno. Well, ja ne.
TRANSLATION NOTES:
Qui penetro mos nunquam reverto ut lumen. EGO animadverto tantum obscurum ut mos sulum alius Those who enter will never return to the light of day. I see only darkness as will everyone else
Nex Vigeo d eath bloom
The dialogue before the long Latin sentences is pretty self explanatory.
