A Warm Compassion | A Hiei Love Story

Byakko vs Hayami

Third POV

Hayami's water mirror appeared again and it showed Botan, Ryuji and Ranumi. She showed it to Yusuke and the others, despite that Kuwabara is still on the ground.

"Yusuke, this is Botan. You copy?" Botan said,

"Sure." Yusuke replied,

"Hey tell them I said hi!" Kuwabara said and received a slap on the head from Hayami.

"How are things in maze castle? Please tell you have defeated three of the four saint beast by now." Ranumi said, worriedly,

"What? Are you crazy, Ranumi? We've barely beaten two of them." Yusuke said, "These guys aren't easy."

"I understand Yusuke, but I'm afraid that it is not fast enough." Ryuji said, "The city is loosing its grip. The mayor told that these victims under the makai are thinking that they are just insane. So far the police have detained the ones controlled by the makai, but it won't be long before the police are infected as well."

"Okay, I get it." Yusuke said,

"I hope you do." Ranumi said then screamed at another one of the affected victims.

Ryuji pulled both of them out of the way and kicked him on the head.

"Sorry about that. As you can see we're quite busy here as well." Botan said,

Hayami nodded and made the water mirror disappear.

"See ya later girls." Kuwabara said it too late,

"Hayami hung up." Yusuke said, "Stupid. You can't be too injured if you're still flirting."

"Shut up." Kuwabara said,

"Well, shall we go then." Kurama suggested as they all nodded,

Suddenly a loud roar was heard and the ground they're standing on starts to shake.

"Don't tell me..." Yusuke said,

"He's alive." Kurama said as the ground starts to crack. "Hurry, it's collapsing."

They all run towards the next tower, while Hiei carried Hayami bridal style and jumped up to the tower podium. She was caught off guard and was flustered after that. She was thankful no one, but Hiei saw that as he smirked at look on her face.

'Hiei! You didn't have to do that!'

'Don't want to get left behind now, do you?' Hiei smirked upon seeing her reaction.

Hayami just looked away from him, trying to calm down her flustered face. Everyone got there in time as they watched the stone platform crumble and fall of. Byakko's voice then starts echoing through the hallway of the castle, saying that Kuwabara became a worthy prey.

"Hey aren't you dead yet?!" Kuwabara said,

"Ha! Very much alive. But to award your strength, I suggested to come to my lair. My room of hell." Byakko said,

"And what if we say no?" Kurama asked,

"You don't want to say no." Byakko said,

They all run inside to see a door. They pushed open as a warm and hot air welcomed them.

"Oh that's great, now we're like walking into a preheated oven." Yusuke said,

"Who cares, as long as it leads to Byakko." Kuwabara said,

"Okay, then you go first." Yusuke suggested,

"Let's get in." Hayami said as they all walked towards a bright yellow light, until
