Atamis placed the bubble next to Rika's vat. "RIKA!" Kurama called. "Finally you get here, and it has to be in that..." Rika said. "Silence!" Atamis interrupted. "WHY!?" Kuwabara protested. "Because I don't like to hear you talk." Atamis answered walking over to the bubble. "But now that I have everyone I need, I might as well carry out my revenge." Atamis said walking back to his desk. Rika had a somber look on her face, "Hiei....please come soon..." She thought. A strange green barrier covered the opening to the door.

Meanwhile, Hiei was outside the barrier. He stood watching it. He looked up and saw birds fly through the barrier. He looked down to the left and saw a squirrel hop through it. The to the back right and saw a rabbit jump through it, and a fox stalking it pass through. "It looks like his barrier can't keep out animals. Then animals should be able to withstand his power and attack him with no problem." Hiei said to himself, he sounded a lot calmer. Then he disappeared. He reappeared at the bottom of a cliff by the shore and reached his arm down an opening through the cliff and pulled out a book. He opened it and flipped through it. He reached a page titled, Morph, then read out loud, the chant, "Aldrearion, Anlenthranal, vocrice, corice, hex, manathranal, secun, securois, NOIR!"

Rika was lost in thought with a wistful look on her face as Atamis prepared his plane. "What do you think she's thinking about?" Kuwabara asked. No one said anything. "HEY! When I ask a question I expect an answer ya know!" Kuwabara yelled. Then he saw the somber look on Kurama's face as he looked at his sister while he sat on the bubble flooring. Yusuke wasn't any better. He was sitting down and looking at the ground. Kuwabara decided to shut up and sit down as well.
"Hiei....please come soon....I want to see you again.........I don't like this......." Rika thought as tears filled her eyes that stayed dry for many many years. Then Atamis turned to her holding a glowing ball of energy and said, "I've made a few changes, but they'll work just as well." He said walking over to her, "I'll merely throw your memory back to the day you first went to the prison, and have you forget all this so it'll feel just as real." Atamis held the ball up to Rika. Atamis slowly moved the orb at Rika, who is still in the vat. "ATAMIS STOP! LET MY SISTER GO!" Kurama demanded. "STOP!" "CUT IT OUT!!!" Yusuke and Kuwabara yelled. She couldn't escape. She shut her eye's tight as her heart raced. Finally she screamed, loud, and tears rolled down her face. Then, Atamis screen became fuzzy, and the lights flickered. Rika had stopped by then and opened her eyes. The glass on the screen began to crack and the lights flickered out. Bottles of potions Atamis had on his desk began to crack as well. The vat began to crack, only in small parts though. The heard footsteps coming down the hall. Atamis turned and grew worried. After a minuet, they could see Hiei in the flickering hall light, he was just behind the barrier. "I don't know how you got past my first barrier, but you won't get past this one! Your little girlfriend is going to pay!" Atamis said. "Why does he keep saying that?" Kuwabara asked, whispering. "Say what?" Yusuke asked. "He keeps saying that Rika's Hiei's girlfriend...." Kuwabara said. Hiei had no expression on his face. Then he closed his eyes. The light flicked out. They couldn't see anything. Then they heard a growl from behind the barrier. Then the light flickered again. What they saw, shocked them.
