(As soon as I thought of it, A.F.I.'s Girl's Not Gray popped into my mind. Hence, songfic. Anyway, this is /kinda/ Hiei and Jess stuff, but not really. The basic plot is that both of 'em got trapped in a dungeon by a wannabe demon lord, and they gotta get out. Can you say disaster?)
I'll lay me down tonight
Much further down
Swim in the calm tonight
This art does drown
"You do realize this is all your fault, right?"
"Hn."
The two Forbidden Children hadn't stopped arguing since they'd been tossed into the cold stone dungeon. Truthfully, it had been a trap, but neither would admit to being trapped so easily. They'd been around Genkai's temple earlier, arguing over which was the best ice cream flavor, when two somethings swooped down and walloped them over the head. Not pleasant at all. When they woke up, they'd been chained up in this godforsaked dungeon. Well, 'chained up' didn't really suit Jess' situation. She was practically in a chain straightjacket.
"You probably badmouthed one of these buffoons and they've gotten their revenge!", the hybrid demoness accused, wiggling around futilly. Her companion snorted, muttering "At least I don't have a bounty /and/ an Exile on my head."
"Shorty."
"Furball."
"Mincemeat."
"Elephant ears!"
The bronze-haired girl gasped indignantly, glaring at the demon and sulking as one ear flopped down.
"It's still your fault."
Thankfully, before any blood could be shed, the dungeon door creaked open, revealing their captor. It was a Crow Harpy, distinguishable by the black feathers around his arms, similar to Kuro Momotaro's Phoenix armor.
"Well, well, well, what have we hear? A boy and his cat, it seems!", he cackled, gray eyes glinting.
(What follows) me as the whitest lace of light
(Will swallow whole) just begs to be imbrued?
(What follows) has lead me to this place
where I belong, with all erased
What follows...
"Who in Enma's name are you?", Jess grumped, immediately angered that they'd been captured by such a low-level nuisance.
"My name is Irusadaka, lord of this castle. I already know who you two are, Jess the Drakk Slayer and Hiei Jaganshi.", the Harpy replied smugly, walking forward to about three feet away from the two.
"If you know who we are, then you'd know that you're going to die soon.", the fire apparition replied coldly, staring the Crow straight in the eyes. But their captor only laughed.
"Ha! What could a pair of weaponless little Forbidden Ones possibly do to me in my own domain? Once your friend Yusuke realizes your absence, he'll come to me and I'll force his hand. His section of Makai for your lives."
Jess burst out laughing, with that bordering-on-insanity laugh that even gave Hiei the chills. "He doesn't even realize if we're gone for weeks! And besides, your cocky. Which means you're in the dark on a few facts about us."
The Crow Harpy simply chuckled. "Ah, but you see, your toushin friend won't realize that he's not going to gain anything. I'm killing you at sunrise tomorrow. I win either way."
All insects sing tonight
The coldest sound
I'd send God's grace tonight
Could it be found?
The Crow bent down to their eyelevel. "And you can't do a thing about it."
Hiei simply said "Hn." But Jess' approach was more direct. Opening her mouth, she spat a lick of acidic flame directly at Irusadaka. The Crow screeched out in agony, covering his burned cheek. Anger filled his eyes as he glared down at the defiant little hybrid. Lifting a hand that was actually a bird talon, he smashed his claws against the side of Jess' face, blood spattering on the wall. The force of the blow had both knocked the cat-eyed girl silly and snapped the staightjacket-like chain around her. But Irusadaka had obviously heard of Jess' ability to rip things to literal shreds, and took precaution with shackles around Jess' hands, ankles, wings, and neck. As blood seeped into the cracks of the stone floor, Hiei glared like a basilisk at their captor. But the Harpy simply harrumphed and waltzed out the door.

The fire youkai then looked down at his companion. The wound where she'd been hit earlier to be knocked out had reopened, leaking crimson fluid. Four long slashed ran from her forehead down her neck. She hadn't moved yet, which worried Hiei slightly. Carefully, he placed two fingers on the unwounded side of the hybrid's neck, checking her pulse. It fluttered lightly, but it was still there, so she wasn't dead. Jess groaned slightly, trying to blink blood out of her eyes. Clearing some of the hot blood out of her eyes, Hiei carefully lifted the wounded demon's head onto his lap. She grinned feebly at him.
"Y'think I have too big of a mouth?", she mumbled, shifting into a slightly more comfortable position.
I'll lay me down tonight
Much further down
Watch stars go out tonight
On sinking ground
Hiei chuckled, which is a rare thing indeed, and shook his head. The hybrid looked over at his cloak and muttered "Good thing you're wearing black, otherwise this'd stain."
The apparition snorted, pulling a few strands of her hair away from her face.
"Getting tired of this place?", he asked quietly, eyes searching over the stone walls. Jess nodded, and he replied "Me too." Easilly snapping the chains on his wrists and the ones connected to Jess, he stood up with the hybrid on his back. "Why didn't ya do that earlier?", she asked weakly as the fire demon punched a hole through the wall with ease.
"Needed to see who caught us so I could kill him later.", he replied, setting foot onto the soft grass.

The bronze-haired demoness chuckled, looking up at the full moon in the sky before she fell asleep in weakness. But before she did, she managed to mutter "Toffee crunch is still beter than Neopolitan..."
