Kurama was wandering through the woods after school one Friday afternoon. He had had a long day. First, he had a test in math, then he had a report in English, then a speech due in history, and thenproject in science. He stopped in front of a tree and sighed.

"This has been one heck of a day." Kurama said as he leaned his back against the tree. He stood there and watched the sun start to set, unaware that he was being watched.A tall man with black hair and a mask covering the bottom half of his face watched Kurama from a tree not far from him. Kurama watched the sun set a little longer and then he started to wander deeper into the woods.

"That's it, just go deeper into the woods." Karasu said to himself as he started jumping from tree to tree as quietly as he could.

Kurama came to a clearing in the woods and stopped to rest. He sat down on the grass and continued to watch the set. Karasu landed on a tree about five feet away from him. He reached into his into his back pocket and pulled out a tranquilizer gun. He loaded it and aimed it at Kurama.As he lifted the gun, he lost his balance and nearly fell off. He caught a branch above him and stepped on one below him. He started to pull himself back up when the branch below him snapped. Kurama turned and looked around him. Karasu got back on the branch he was on and took aim again. Kurama, who was begining to feel a little worried, started talking to his demon form, Yoko.

"Your senses are better than mine, you go see if you can sense anything," Kurama said.

"You want me, to go out there, with a stalker?" Yoko asked him.

Kurama gave him a stern look and Yoko knew not to argue. He switched places with him and looked around. Now instead of the redheaded human that had sat there, there was a siver haired person sitting in his place. He had fur covered fox ears and a tail that sat perfectly still. Karasu took the gun down and loaded a more powerful tranquilizer in it and took aim again. "Three...Two...One..." he counted down and he fired the weapon.

The tranquilizer landed in Yoko's shoulder. He felt it go in and he looked down at his shoulder. He reached over, took it out, and looked at it. Karasu smirked under under under his mask and jumped down from the tree. Yoko turned around, looked at him for five seconds, and took off.

"Run all you like, the tranquilizer won't take long." Karasu said and he started walkingin the direction Yoko ran.

Yoko jumped from tree to tree. He could feel the tranquilizer starting to work. His vision became blurred, he was barley landing on the trees, and his head was hurting like crazy. He finally lost control, as he jumped for a tree, he lost his footing and fell. He landed on his side and tried to get up, but he couldn't even find the strength to do that. He fell back down and let the tranquilizer take over. Karasu walked up to him, cautiously, and used his foot to turn him over.He walked a few feet away and got his cell phone out and called someone.

"Well..." they asked.

"He's out like a light and waiting for transportation," Karasu said.

"They're on their way." they said and they hung up the phone.

Karasu hung up the phone and turned back around. A few minutes later, a larger van arrived and started putting Yoko in.

"Be careful, you don't want to take the chance of waking him." Karasu said.

They put him in a steel cage, in case he woke up, and they drove off. a few hours later, Yoko woke in a dark cell, with his hands chained to the wall above him.
