Chapter one: A Long Battle

~KURAMA'S POV~

"KURAMA! MOVE!" Thank Inari Yusuke has a big mouth. I leapt to the side only milliseconds before the blast of energy hit. Apparently, Tamachi had tried to ambush me from behind with his Serpent's Fang attack. After all, he was invisible, and hiding his energy very well. I looked at the large hole-no, crater in the ground where I just was, and scowled a bit.

The grass around the hole had already began to turn a nasty greenish-yellowish color, and I knew the Serpent's Fang's poisonous effect had begun to take place. I tightened my hold on my Rose Whip as I scanned the area, searching for Tamachi's energy signal. But I found none. He was hiding it again. I began to form another plan in my head, but it was extremely risky.

However, the only way I could attack him now was to wait until he unleashed his Serpent's Fang, and then attack by using the released energy as a guide. After all, it would have to come from somewhere, right? So I crouched, prepared myself, and waited.

Hiei, had his Jagan Eye exposed on his forehead, and it was glowing purple. I knew he was searching for Tamachi, but by the look on his face, he was not succeeding. I quickly sent a mental message to him, telling him I had an idea, and why it would be a bad idea if he Dragon of the Darkness Flamed everything.

"Serpent's Fang!" An immense amount of energy rushed to my senses, and I impulsively lashed out with my Rose Whip. I pulled on it hard, and to my delight, something was pulling on the other end. Using the whip as a rope, I slammed the resister into the ground, and the invisibility spell wore off.

A poison demon with a shock of bright blue hair appeared, glaring at me through fiery crimson-colored eyes. Yet, he made no movement. The whip was already half-buried in the back of his neck, and any more movement would me certain death. Too bad. I jerked the weapon, and the battle was over. Finally. I sighed, and uncoiled my bloody whip from around Tamachi's neck, and transformed it back into a regular rose. I was just tucking it back into my hair, when Yusuke and Kuwabara ran up to me.

"Good going, Kurama!" Yusuke grinned, slapping me on the back. I slightly smiled, and nodded, keeping my calm personality. But inside, I was so ecstatic, I could have danced to "Ultimate You" if I wanted to (AN: Oh yeah, I don't own that either). The complete opposite of me, however, was Kuwabara. He was laughing and jumping around, glad that the battle was finally over. He was obviously very expressive with his mood and emotions.

"Yeah! I know, let's celebrate! Party at my house on Saturday!" I smiled at the prospect, but Hiei only huffed and began to walk away. And it wasn't until later that I found out why. It seemed that Mukoro had called him away for a mission before the fight with Tamachi, yet he never carried it out because of Koenma's interruption. So, he had to go back to Makai and fulfill Mukoro's mission. Yes… a bit confusing, and it was even worse when Yusuke and Kuwabara had tried to explain it to me.

But maybe it was for the best that Hiei wasn't going to be at the party. After all, Hiei was not the type you would call social. And with Yukina being there, he was even less likely to talk, much less do anything. So, obviously, we could omit him from the guest list. Oh well.

Over the next week, Yusuke and Kuwabara planned for the party. Hm… I believe that would be the first time they worked hard on something besides fighting. Maybe they're getting more mature. Actually, Kuwabara did most of the planning. The most Yusuke did was write up the guest list, being Yusuke. Of course, the whole Reikai Tentai, (minus Hiei) would be there, and Yukina, Botan, and Keiko. Shizuru was out of town, so she couldn't come, and Koenma was just too busy. Typical.

After a long week, Saturday finally came, and, donning some casual clothes, I headed for Kuwabara's house at 8:00pm precisely.

~NORMAL POV~

A shadowy figure crouched in the bushes, watching Kurama walk by. He completely masked his energy, making it all but impossible for the fox to detect him. In the dark shadows of the night, his eyes glowed a ruby red color, and giving him the look of being possessed. Running a hand through his dark blond hair, he growled softly.

"You're the one. I remember you. You will pay, Kurama. You will pay for killing Tamachi!" And he disappeared.

AN: Oooohhh… cliffy! Yay! Heh heh… so… who is this mysterious stranger, and what sort of connection does he have with Tamachi? And what about the party? What kind of chaos will ensue there? Ack… I'm starting to sound like Kurama… I've been putting him as the main character too long… maybe I should do something with Hiei as the main character… (hint, hint of a new fanfic) I have REALLY got to get my lazy butt working on When You Snap...
