Prologue
Kurama walked silently through the park, enjoying the moist air and sent of roses and wet soil. The after noon showers that had recently been gracing Japan where a welcome blessing in his eyes, sitting down on a dry bench he sighed and began to think again about Hiei. Why is he such a puzzle? Kurama wondered closing his eyes, all of a sudden he felt familiar cold hands running through his hair. His felt sick to his stomach and terror struck his heart as he desperately hoped it wasn't who he thought it was. "What's the matter Kurama? Didn't you miss me?" it was that silky voice, the one that haunted Kurama's night mares since the dark tournament. He began to shiver uncontrollably "Karasu…" he managed to choke out. A cold laughter answered his comment "Scared? You should be." Karasu whispered as he leaned forward, but was forced to draw back when a thorn of Kurama's rose whip sliced his cheek. Kurama whirled around now with a serious look on his face "How?" He demanded "That, my lovely little fox, is an explanation best left for another time." Karasu laughed as he made a bomb explode between them. When the smoke cleared he was gone, Kurama reluctantly dropped his guard, transformed the rose whip back into a rose and placed it back into his long red hair. I must find Yusuke. He thought as he ran off into the set direction of Genkai's temple.
