Hiei held his right side as it bled more than he expected. "Blood," Yukina whispered and started shaking her head.

"Yukina, wake up," Hiei said as he looked at his hands that were now bright red.

"Kill them!" she said and made more iciciles.

He ducked and dodged a few but several cut through as well, causing more blood to spill. Killed by my own sister, he thought, after the life I've lived I can't let that happen. At that moment he realized what he needed to do. He moved in close again, and just before she attacked he said, "You wouldn't kill your own brother, would you?"

The life returned to her eyes and she snapped out of it instantly. "My brother?" she asked, "Hiei-you finally said something!" She jumped forward and hugged him tight, knocking him over onto the ground. Hiei flinched in pain. "Hiei?" Yukina asked as she sat back up, "Where am I? What happened to you?" She looked around the hallway.

"Kurama was kidnapped," he answered as he held his wounds, "and he was brainwashed to attack. Yusuke's further inside. Hurry."

"You're injured!" she said nervously as she started healing him.

Hiei stood back up and said, "There isn't any time to worry about that, hurry up!"

"This is our mastermind behind all of this," Yusuke said as he held a midget demon by the neck in front of Hiei.

"You!" he shouted, "You broke my brainwashing on the girl! How could you?"

"Hn," Hiei said, "the mind isn't a weak as you think."

"Is that so?" he asked, "Kurama, kill them!"

They all turned around and saw a bloody and beaten down Kurama slowly walking toward them as he glared at them. "Dammit," Yusuke said, "that plan didn't work. Hey, freak, break him from his brainwashing or I break your face!" He punched him to prove he would do it.

"Waken!" the little demon shouted and Kurama's eyes suddenly returned to normal.

Kurama gasped and fell to the ground as he asked, "What happened?" He clutched his bleeding wounds.

"Let me heal you!" Yukina begged and she started healing his injuries.

"They're all out cold," Yusuke said nervously as he stood over knocked out Genkai, Botan, and Kuwabara in Genkai's living room.

Kurama said, "They're not the only ones." He looked over at Yukina who was fast asleep after spending hours healing Kurama all the way. "I still can't believe all of that happened."

Yusuke asked, "So how did you get kidnapped?"

"I was wondering the same thing," Hiei said as he stood in the doorway.

"They cornered me in an alley," he explained, "and threatened that they'd kill my mother if I didn't go with them. After I left with them willingly did they brainwash me into wanting to kill." He looked at his blood stained and tattered clothing.

Hiei walked out of the door. "Hiei?" Yusuke asked, "You're just going to leave Yukina here? Hey, how'd you get her to snap out of it?" He disappeared into the trees.

Kurama smiled and said, "I wouldn't worry about him, Yusuke."

"How about you?" he asked as he sat down on the floor, "Do you remember anything that happened while you were attacking us?"

"It's clouded," Kurama explained as he looked back down at his clothes, "I remember saying that I was going to kill you, and then, my rose whip suddenly came back at me and I was in so much pain. I lost some of my seeds. Then, I don't know."

"It's probably best you don't actually remember everything," Yusuke said as he saw Kurama in pain.

"My name," he whispered, "someone mentioned my mother and I couldn't take it, after that I don't remember." He looked over at Yukina. "I wonder what she remembers."

Yusuke said, "Hiei didn't seem so keen on talking about it. I wonder what he said to her."

"Can you guys keep it down?" Kuwabara asked, half asleep, "I'm trying to sleep here."

Yusuke looked at him and said, "Guess we'll never know for sure."

"I'm being serious!" Kuwabara shouted as he sat up, "Wait a minute, why am I at Genkai's? Urameshi what happened-wait a second I remember now!"

Yusuke asked, "So, Kuwabara, are you going to tell us what happened here?"

"It was insane," he explained, "over 100 demons or so came out of nowhere. They took Yukina so fast and beat up Botan and Genkai easily. I killed off a bunch of them no problem but there was too many of them and they all retreated after Yukina was taken. So what happened to you guys. Whoa, Kurama!" He examined him and saw how covered in blood he was.

Kurama replied, "It's a long story, but we're all alright now."

Kuwabara looked over and saw Yukina. "She's okay!" he said happily.

"Yeah," Yusuke replied, "we rescued her once we saw you failed." Kuwabara threw a pillow at him.

"So how'd you save Kurama anyway?" he demanded.

"We had to fight him," Yusuke answered seriously, "and damn you're tought to beat. Even Hiei had a hard time."

"Hiei's never defeated me before," Kurama replied.

"You mean you two fought before?" Kuwabara asked.

"It was how we first met," he replied, "but it's all in the past now."
