Lei: Hey there! This is my first ever YuYu Hakusho fanfic!
Vulpus: And I'm her muse... How unfortunate for me.
Lei: -glares- Well any way -swtiched to smiling- I hope you review, Flames ARE accepted, they keep me warm at night. I just love the smell of wood smoke...
Disclaimer: Do I have to? Oh well... Well any who, I don't own YuYu Hakusho or any of the characters... but you should know what a disclaimer is by now so...
Vulpus: So, on to the story!
It had been several months since the Rekai Tentei had last seen Kurama, and they were beginning to worry. Koenma had sent the red haired youko on a mission into the Makai, and he had yet to return. Yusuke, Kuwabara, and even Hiei were restless in the Ningenkai, and not even Keiko or Yukina could reassure them that Kurama was all right. And any news that Botan brought only increased their worry.
The tiny lord of the Spirit world had sent the Kitsune on a mission into as of yet, lands that were not completly charted. But apparently when he offered the mission Kurama had already known his way quite well around the lands, and offered to go. It was a solo mission, despite the fact that Yusuke, Hiei, and Kuwabara had protested that some should accompany the red head. Koenma declined their pleas, and had sent Kurama along his way.
The fox was to retrieve a necklace that had, at one point been under the care of Koenma many centuries back. Demons had stolen it, and then hidden it. Of course, it was onlt recently that the small Lord of the under world had located the necklace. And the retrieval should have only taken a month tops. But Kurama had been missing for three. This did not bode well.
Three Years Later
Three years had passed preceeding Youko Kurama's disappearance. Of course this meant that Shuichi Minamino had also disappeared, cause havoc within his family. That havoc did not last long, unfotunately, for exactly one year after the red head's disappearance, Shiori Minamino her step-son, and her husband, were all killed in a drive by shooting. Had Kurama been present, he would have probably tracked down the gunners and slaughtered them in revenge. But the kitsune was still no where to be found.
"Koenma, you've sent out thousands of search parties of the past three years! And they haven't found a single thing as to where Kurama is!" Yusuke glared at his Boss, an action that actually had the tiny lord flinch. Yusuke and Kuwabara, now eighteen, had both grown rather handsome. Surprisingly Kuwabara had taken a complete 360 from his rather ugly appearance three years prior. Yusuke had let his hair grow, and he had it loose, Kuwabara no longer had his hair in the pompadore style and kept it short in a rather attractive style.
"Yusuke, I'm terribly sorry, but what ever happened to Kurama left no clue as to where or when it occured!" Koenma was rather stressed, to tell the truth, seeing as one of his detectives was missing, and no trace of him had been found for the past three years.
"Hn... You mean you're just incompetent." Hiei's voice cut through the air, as he stepped out of the shadows and into the light of the room. Hiei had definitely grown, now standing only a mere inch taller than Kurama had been before he left. His hair now hung about mid back, and no longer attempted to defy gravity (AN: lol, I'm actually going to try and draw this, I'll set up the link sometime if I ever do)
"Unfortunately Hiei, that's not the case. It's as if he's disappeared of the face of the earth." Koenma sighed, and tried to speak again when a voice rang out.
"So who is it that's disappeared of the face of the earth?"
Lei: Omg! Who is it? It might be an enemy!
Vulpus: ...You, I swear. You derive pleasure from this!
Lei: Derive pleaseure from what? -innocently tilts head-
Vulpus: Torturing your readers! AND your MUSE! -is currently tied up in corner on a chair, ears and tail twitching angrily-
Lei: Awww is a poor foxy uncomfy? Don't worry. I'll try to update soon! And ya never know. It might NOT be who you think it is.
Hiei and Kurama: riiiiiight...
Lei: ...O.o... When'd you get here...
