"By myself?" Hiei asked. "The Detective isn't completely useless." "Yes I know..but Kuwabara has less time then we imagioned. The toxins are spreading through his body even faster then we thought. There isn't much time for him. Yusuke would only slow you down." Koenma explained.

Hiei knew he couldn't argue with that logic. Then again he prefered not hearing how little time Kuwabara really had. Yusuke stepped inside, putting a hand on Hiei's shoulder. "Kuwabara's a tough one. He's not about to give up." He reassured him.

"Im sure you know where to go Hiei." Koenma said. Hiei didn't say anything to either of them. He turned, pushing passed Yusuke as he made his way out the door. He stopped infront of Kuwabara's room. He stood there for about 20 seconds lost in thought before he snapped himself back into reality, reminding himself that every minute counts.

Boton escorted Hiei to a certain location before leaving him on his own and he took off, stopping occasionally, to look around and make sure he was on the right path. He couldn't have been too far. Demon flowers grew in bunches and it didn't take long for Yusuke and Kuwabara to find themselves right in the middle of a field of them.

Several hours later he was sure he was close. He walked slowly into a clearing, dead tree leaves crunched under his feet. The area here was quiet. Very..quiet. He growled, looking around. If this had been it he would surely be attacked by dozens of demon flowers..so..where the hell were they? He took another step. Crunch. And another. Crunch. He clutched a glass container in his hand.

Slowly from the darker parts of the forest. The demon flowers indeed knew he was there. But they've grown smart, and waited for an opportune moment to strike. They waited another step before all at once. Three to four of the beasts jumped out at him. Hiei whipped his head to the side, seeing what looked like the jaws of a funky colored, oversized venus fly-trap. He dodged it with ease as well as the other's that had lunged for him. He landed just as more and more came after him. It wasn't long before about ten of them were snapping at his ankles. There wasn't any way for him to keep still long enough to kill one or all of them... for that matter. He landed on the ground for just two seconds, long enough for a thin vine to wrap around his leg, preventing him from evading. He fall backwards onto his butt as the jaws of the flower dived for him. Even if he had pulled his leg free there would not have been enough time to escape. He felt a cold chill run through his body and he shut his eyes tight. After a few seconds..he felt nothing. Infact everything around him had gone quiet.

He opened his eyes, the demon plant stood before him. Its monsterous jaws opened wide, but it seemed to be frozen in that spot. He crawled back away from it, getting to his feet. He turned, and looked around. All of them were frozen. Before he could even ask himself what was happening he felt a calming breeze against his back. It seemed familliar to him, and it left the scent of...roses? He turned quickly. "Kurama?" He asked.

And there he was. Kurama stood before him. A constant wind gently blew his hair to the side. He held a rose to his nose and smiled, a petal blew off, gliding across Hiei's face. Hiei reached his hand out, noticing Kurama's figure was transparent, it made him unsure that he was even there. But he had to be. "Kurama..." He said again. But Kurama pointed to the flower and his figure slowly disapeared. Hiei felt his heart sink as he turned back, watching the venom drip from the creature's jaws. He popped the lid from the container and let the venom fill it. He capped it and took a step back. He took a closer look, noticing a piece of fabric inside its mouth. There was no doubt in his mind that was a piece of Kuwabara's shirt.

"So your the bastard..." He hissed, slowly drawing his Katana. Suddenly it was able to move again. Its giant teeth sunk into Hiei's skin, but at the same time the blade of Hiei's Katana pierced it's stem, forcing it to let go and retreat back into the woods. Hiei scrambled to regain his balance and he ran as quickly as he could out of the area. He stopped a safe distance away, ripping his shirt a little too look at the damage. It got him right under the ribs. He was already beginning to feel faint. But he couldn't pass out here. He looked down at the container. He had to get this back to Koenma...

He ran but not near as fast as he could and within minutes he was only walking. His vision blurred, but he kept moving. He felt his feet being dragged from under him and everything began spinning. He fell to the ground and blacked out.

It lasted only minutes but the next thing he knew Hiei found himself walking through darkness. The same darkness as the dream he had where Kuwabara was calling for him. Only this time he saw him. "Hiei..." Kuwabara said weakly. He was laying on the ground, looking up at him. Hiei rushed to his side and knelt down by him. He lifted him up carefully. "Kuwabara, I got it. Your going to be fine." He said. "I don't..know about that." Kuwabara said, smiling weakly. "You gotta stay awake first." Hiei was taken back by that. He wasn't aware he was unconcious. Kuwabara closed his eyes and Hiei felt his body go limp in his arms. "Kuwabara?" Hiei said, shaking him lightly. "Kuwabara...Kazuma open your damn eyes! KAZUMA!"

"Kazuma! Kazuma !" Hiei's eyes shot open. He lifted his upper body with his arms, he couldnt get up. His body was shaking all over. There was no way he could keep going. He put one arm out infront of him and dragged his body forward, only to collasp again, slowly everything around him was engulfed in black.
