June 2
12:28 am
The winds blew wildly as Kuwabara tossed and turned in the bed, he just wasn't tired enough to sleep. The walls creaked and the house shook with each blow of the wind. The rain shot like bullets at the window sounding very annoying. Suddenly Kuwabara felt an uneasy feeling; his own door open and closed, turning his head he saw a figure approaching him. Jolting up he was about to throw a punch when the figure stepped onto his own cat.
"Stupid cat?" said Yusuke as the cat scatted under the bed.
"Urameshi, what are you doing? You scared the crap out of me." cried out Kuwabara feeling very relieved that it was just Yusuke.
"Shh..." said Yusuke trying to keep Kuwabara quiet "Kurama is asleep and I don't want him to wake up." he said while he waved a bottle of sake.
Kuwabara smiled widely as they both sat on top of the bed. "Hold on, how did you know I wasn't asleep?" asked Kuwabara a bit confused while Yusuke chugged down his own bottle of sake.
"I dunno." he muttered "I guess if I wasn't asleep there is no way you could have been." he reasoned illogically.
2:32 am
The boys were sound asleep as it rained like cats and dogs. In the other room, Hiei sat on his bed wide awake staring at the shadow on the wall. his ruby red eyes didn't even flinch, as the time went by.
2:38 am
Hiei 's body was still completely immobile; the shadow he was staring at slowly descended from the wall and extended itself towards the fire demon.
2:42 am
The shadow covered the fire demon completely. His skin slowly become blue and his eyes rolled over as he passed out over the bed.
3:30 am
Hiei's door screeched opened and slammed shut, the hallways creaked loudly and Kurama's door quietly opened and closed. Lightning struck outside the window revealing a huge shadow on the wall as if someone was sitting on Kurama's bed. The fox jumped up as he felt a very dark cold feeling.
"Oh Inari-san..." he whispered calming his nerves.
He honestly thought that for a moment that someone was in his room. Thunder cracked through the silence and Kurama's bed began to shake violently, gasping in shock Kurama jumped of the bed. Kurama was very surprised and breathing heavily; that was the strangest earthquake he had ever experienced in human world and he honestly never wanted to feel that again. He sadly let out a low sigh and stood up shivering, looking towards the window he saw that it was open.
"I don't remember opening you." he whispered quietly as he locked it.
5:45 am
Kuwabara was taking a leek while Yusuke was sound asleep; a tall dark shadow descended from the bathroom light and covered the spirit detective. Yusuke was positioned with his stomach down and his face slightly in his pillow, his face slowly turned directly into the pillow and didn't lift up. Loosing air Yusuke woke up and immediately tried to lift his face out of the pillow for air. It was useless, he felt as if someone was holding him down. Struggling, he tried his best to Kick out at his tormentor, but instead he completely missed and accidentally knocked over Kuwabara's digital clock onto the floor shattering it into pieces. The loud sound made Kuwabara jump.
"Urameshi?" called out Kuwabara as he came out of the bathroom. Yusuke was suddenly able to pull his head out of the pillow. "What happened?"
"Some jerk just tried to kill me!" he screamed out in shock.
"You serious?" asked Kuwabara surprised that someone would attack the spirit detective while he was in the other room.
"No I tried to commit suicide, of course I'm dead serious." he said angrily as he rubbed the back of his neck.
Kuwabara came out of the bathroom and Yusuke looked at him looking very angry.
"You alright?" he asked very concerned.
"No, I'm pissed!" Yusuke said angrily and stood up "How the hell did the guy do that without anyone noticing his spirit energy?"
"How am I suppose to know." responded Kuwabara a bit lost.
"Damn it, where is Kurama?" Yusuke asked letting his anger get the best of him.
"Well at this time, we should all be in bed." reasoned Kuwabara seeing as though the raven haired boy was acting unreasonable.
"Too bad, we got a demon on the loose and we need answers."
6:12 am
The two boys finally entered the red heads room, they took a while to get ready since they didn't want to explain to the fox the reason why Yusuke was in Kuwabara's room. The room was freezing cold due to the fact that the window was wide open. Kurama was sound asleep looking like some celebrity; Yusuke didn't care, he needed Kurama's brains.
"Wake up, sleeping beauty." he said as he shook him.
"mmm... is it eight already?" Kurama mumbled in his sleep.
"No, but we got trouble." Yusuke said with a frown as he just realized that his friend was really exhausted.
Kurama peeked between locks of blood red hair, and saw the two teens looking at him seriously. He yawned and lifted up so that he was sitting on the bed.
"It's six in the morning." he mumbled trying to wake himself.
"Kurama, what are the few ways to not feel a demon energy?" Yusuke asked immediately.
The fox rubbed his eyes as he tried to cope with what the boy had just asked him.
"Well, one there is no demon, two the demon could be an expert of masking his energy, or three the demon could be an animal." he said and yawned again. "What happened?" he asked a bit concerned.
Yusuke turned his face away from him "I believe I was attacked by a demon." he said with a bit of anger in his voice.
Kurama looked at him a bit confused. "He attacked you and you didn't feel his demon energy?" he asked the boy whom nodded.
"And whats worse was that I was in the bathroom and I didn't feel anything neither." said Kuwabara.
Kurama frowned at what he was hearing. "That is impossible, a demon cannot attack while hiding his demon energy." he clarified as he stood up and walked out of the room, the other two males following after him.
"Yeah that's what I said." Yusuke muttered as he watched Kurama open up a laptop. "What are you doing?"
"When did this happen?" Kurama asked as he typed on the computer.
Yusuke winced as he knew Kurama is going to be mad.
"I don't know about fifteen twenty minutes ago." he said as he watched Kurama click on camera D.
Kurama looked a bit confused as he saw both males in Kuwabara's room. He watched attentively as he saw Yusuke suffocate himself. Yusuke and Kuwabara both stared in amazement as it looked as if Yusuke was having a bad dream and choking himself. Kurama paused it and re-winded it. Paying closer attention to the screen.
"That is impossible, I swear somebody was pressing me down!" Yusuke yelled out a bit defensive.
Kurama observed the tape one more time and was a bit shocked to see the shadow from the wall actually descend upon the detective and the Yusuke struggling.
"Tell me." Kurama said as he looked at the two boys. "What were you doing in Kuwabara's room?" he asked making the two boys look away. "I'm very positive it wasn't because the storm frightened you."
"Yeah, well... I we got a little high..." he muttered.
Kurama shook his head in disappointment. "Well discuss that later then. Now there is a very high possibility that this demon could be either a shadow demon or just invisible." he explained making Yusuke relieved that he believed him. "I need more proof before I can actually be sure there are no other options."
"Okay, so we don't have to worry then?" asked Kuwabara a bit confused.
"On the contrary, that makes our job much more difficult since this demon can hide his demon energy." Kurama corrected but then paused. "Which reminds me, since Hiei has an evil eye, he is able to see things we cannot."
"Really?" questioned Yusuke a bit surprised.
Kurama nodded then looked around "Where is he?" he asked the two boys whom gave him funny looking smiles.
"We were kinda afraid of waking him up since he still seemed hot about the airplane." said Kuwabara as he laughed his goofy laugh.
Kurama sighed. "Well then lets go wake him up."
Going back upstairs they found that Hiei's door was locked.
"Oh come on, Hiei open up!" called Yusuke.
Kurama sweat teared. "I beginning to assume that you weren't afraid at all." he said as Yusuke banged on Hiei's door.
Strangely there was no response, although this was the first time they have ever knocked on Hiei's door so they didn't know how to response.
"Great..." Kuwabara complained.
Yusuke was about to turn to Kurama for help when he decided that he wanted to try and unlock the door himself. "I got this fox-boy." he said as he tried unlock the door. Kurama smiled at the boys enthusiasm and remembered that he had left the laptop on.
"I'll be back in a moment." he said quickly as he made his way downstairs, he quickly closed the laptop and was putting it away when he turned and saw Hiei sitting on the couch. "Hiei!" he cried out scared to death as he didn't even notice the boy.
Hiei sat there looking as if he's been drugged, crimson eyes didn't once turn to look at the fox. Kurama walked over over towards the fire demon and realized he wasn't looking so well. His face was slightly flushed his body was paled and his eyes were darkened.
"Hiei, are you feeling alright?" he asked putting a hand over one of his cheeks. Hiei still didn't answer causing the fox to frown. "Hiei...?" he asked again sounding very concerned. His body temperature was abnormally high yet he was tremblingly.
7:30 am
Hiei laid wrapped up in a blanket sound asleep on the couch, Yusuke Kuwabara and Kurama sat at the kitchen table and pondered on what to do. Kurama massaged his temples in effort to calm his headache while Yusuke tapped annoyingly at the table.
"So what do we do now?" asked Kuwabara a bit confused at what to do since Hiei wasn't feeling well. "I didn't even know that demons get sick."
"They normally don't." Kurama said in a serious manner. "Perhaps he must have caught something between the trip. Being in an airport you are surrounded by people from all over the world."
"It doesn't matter how he got sick, what matters is that he gets some rest and we catch the demon before someone else gets hurt." said Yusuke. The boys nodded in response and Yusuke stood up. "We need a plan."
"Well, there is a huge possibility that this demon is either invisible or a shadow demon." explained Kurama. Yusuke frowned for a moment then grinned widely causing the boys to look at him a bit confusedly.
"Guys, I got a plan." he said grimly.
9:36 am
The house was pitch black due to the fact that all the windows were covered. Flour covered the floor and the gang waited with the camera to see if anything would come out.
9:45 am
No body appeared.
9:50am
The gang grew a bit worried, there was no sign of a demon.
10:06 am
The Yusuke and Kuwabara were watching TV in the dark while Kurama read a book with a flashlight. From time to time they all took a glance behind them but there was still nothing.
10:12 am
They were all asleep.
10:15 am
The TV turned off making everything too dark to see anything.
10:17 am
The hallways creaked and the floor pounded. A strange sensation filled the air causing the group to jump up.
"Oh shit I can't believe we fell asleep!" Yusuke said as he suddenly realized whats had just happened. Kuwabara quickly turned on the lights, shockingly there was footprints all over the living room, the kitchen, the hallway and even the doors.
"Damn!" said Yusuke amazed that in such a short period of time the demon did all this mess. "Lets split up and see if we can find the beginning and end." he said receiving a nod from Kurama and a thumbs up from Kuwabara.
"I'll take the Kitchen." said Kurama looking at Kuwabara to see if he didn't mind. Kuwabara smiled he honestly didn't like the idea of splitting up, but he wasn't bound to let them know that.
"I'll stay with Hiei, you know just in case the demon decides to come back into the living room." he responded. Yusuke rolled his eyes and made his way to the hallway.
"What ever, I'm going this way." he said and disappeared into the hallway.
Kuwabara smiled and let out one of his goofy laughs as he turned his attention back to Hiei. "look who's in charge." he said bending down to the fire demon. His smile quickly faded, there were flower footprints all over the blanket that covered the fire demon.
"What the-!" he cried out in shock.
In the kitchen Kurama purposely had the lights off; he knew that if it was a shadow demon then it would be obvious for an attack, although it was very strange that a shadow demon left footprints behind unless it wanted them to know his existence. Kurama easily followed the footprints with his flash light, it lead him straight to the basement door. Opening the door he shuttered as the cool wind blew right through his body. The footprints continued down the steps so he followed them leaving the door open behind him.
"Where are you going?" he asked as he continued down the stairs.
The door slowly closing behind him. The footprints led straight towards the trap door. His flashlight suddenly went out. Kurama let out his breath that he didn't even realize he was holding. Putting down the flashlight he opened the trap door and peaked down. It was even darker then the area he was in. chills went down the foxes spine yet he didn't feel any spirit energy.
"How peculiar." he whispered unwillingly.
"Run!" screamed his instincts. The whole creaked and Kurama bent in to hear and recognize the sound. Bending over he felt as if he was pushed in the whole the trap door closing quickly behind him. The trap door rattled and shook viciously.
Yusuke walked through the hallway and came to a pause in Hiei's room. It was a complete mess, he frowned and followed the footprints back downstairs and towards the living room.
"Urameshi!" called out Kuwabara immediately once he saw the spirit detective.
"Whats up?" he asked walking over.
"Check this out." he said showing the spirit detective Hiei's wrist. It was a dark shade of a bluish purple in shape of a very large hand. "This guy not only walked all over the house but was on four feet, his blanket is covered in flower."
Yusuke took hold of Hiei's hand and examined the bruise. "Son of a gun. I'm amazed he did this without Hiei waking up." he said as he slightly rubbed it.
Hiei's eyes suddenly bolted open "Kurama!" he cried out scaring the other two.
"Relax, he's in the kitchen." Yusuke said calming the fire demon.
Hiei looked at him in disbelief and stood up clumsily. Kuwabara quickly stopped him and nicely laid him back down.
"Your not strong enough yet." he said keeping the fire demon from protesting. Hiei tried to push his arm away with all his strength, but failed as Kuwabara didn't even move an inch. Yusuke sighed at the view.
"If your that bothered about it, I'll go get him." he said heading for the kitchen. "Kurama!" he called out as he busted in. there was no recall. Turning on the lights he was amazed to see no one. Looking around the room he noticed that there was the Kurama mixed his footprints in with the demons. It led him directly towards the basement.
Opening it up he called out again. "Kurama, get your tail up here!" there was still no response. Yusuke then felt a sickening feeling in his chest, something wasn't right here. He quickly skipped the first step and ran down the stairs. There was a rattling sound in the air.
"Kurama?" he called running towards the sound. Finding the trap door he tried to open it. It rattled and shook but it did not open. "Damn it!" he screamed as he pounded and pulled on the door. It still wouldn't open. Yusuke was becoming frustrated now. The freaking door won't open and it wasn't even locked.
He finally stopped and the rattling stopped. Yusuke felt very awkward but he tried to open it again. It worked. Flashing his flashlight into the whole he saw the fox at the bottom of the floor covered in blood.
"Kurama!" he screamed out.
11:21am
Kurama was being patched up by Yusuke, he was filled with nasty looking scratches.
"So you don't remember anything?" he asked the red head. Kurama slowly shook his head.
"All I remember was falling, and them something trying to get me to open my mouth." he responded very slowly. His body trembled with every touch. "That was not a shadow demon." he said sounding somewhat hysterical.
"What do you mean?" Yusuke asked a bit confused.
"That wasn't even from the Makai." he said again as he pulled his knees towards his chest and hugged on to them.
"Then what was it?"
"I don't know."
1:00pm
"Document number thirteen, date June 2." Kurama documented warily. "it is approximately thirteen hundred hours and we have made contact with the suspect yet we have no description." he said as he nervously watched around the area. "We have no proof of there being a demon, and we are now about to push forward into the investigation."
Yusuke watched him sadly, ever since the incident from earlier his friend has been a bit paranoid.
"I think that's enough for now." he said grabbing Kurama's arm.
Kurama obediently turned off the camera and turned his attention to the laptop to check the cameras. Rewinding and forwarding the video, they watched as the basement door creaked open and close. The footprints immediately began to appear and go around the kitchen as if it was searching for something. It went through the hall way into Hiei's room.
"Okay..." said Kuwabara "What's with this guy, he wanted a tour or something?"
In an instant the objects in the room moves simultaneously. Yusuke Kuwabara and Kurama jumped. There was no logical way that could have happened. The footprints then continued down to the living room. It walked around them then over Hiei. Hiei turned as the blanket was moved a bit.
"Dejamentrar!" the camera screeched as the boys woke up.
"What was that?" asked Yusuke a bit shocked.
Kurama re winded it and played it again listening care fully.
"...dehame entrar..." it said strangely.
"de-hame entrar?" repeated Yusuke.
Kurama frowned. "Thats spanish for let me in." he sounding a bit discouraged.
2:30pm
The boys were eating lunch in the living room, keeping far away from the basement door.
"So it's not a demon?" Yusuke asked.
"I didn't say that." Kurama corrected him pushing his untouched meal away from him. "I said it's not from the makai."
"Then what is it?" Kuwabara asked a bit freaked out.
Kurama didn't answer him he just sat there deep in his thought. Kuwabara shivered, he felt chills in the room. Looking around his eyes fell on Hiei. He wasn't eating.
"You okay?" he asked.
Hiei looked at him for a moment before turning away.
"There is no living person here." he whispered catching all of there attention.
The room fell silent.
"... Hiei, there was footprints all over the house, your wrist is bruised, and Kurama was literally scratched up. Your telling me that there is no one here?" asked Yusuke in an angry tone.
"No, there is definitely someone here." he clarified quietly. "but it's not alive."
Yusuke raised an eyebrow but said nothing. Hiei was sick and human sicknesses make people delusional. He gently patted Hiei's hair.
"I see." he said calming Hiei's nerves.
4:45pm
Kuwabara watched Kurama set up Yusuke's room.
"So until we defeat this monster, we are going to be staying in the same room together?" he asked helping Kurama move the mattress to the floor.
"It would be wise to stay together, we don't know anything about our enemy so our strength is in numbers." he explained while he made the bed.
"Oh okay."
Kurama shivered the room was cold. Turning to look at the source he saw that the window was opened.
6:35 pm
Hiei watched the wind blow wildly out side.
6:36pm
He walked over to the window and opened it.
6:38pm
Kuwabara came into the living room and saw Hiei gazing out the window.
"Hey shrimp, your not gonna get any better if your in the cold!" he said walking over and closing the window.
Hiei watched him, in a zombie like state. Kuwabara easily took Hiei back to the couch. There wasn't a single sound of a protest. Laying him down, Kuwabara left to get something from the kitchen.
6:44pm
Kuwabara came out of the kitchen and was about to go upstairs when he saw Hiei in the same position he was in earlier.
"Hey shrimp, your not gonna get any better if your in the cold!" he said walking over.
The fire demon then lifted up his left arm and took hold of the window. He then looked back at Kuwabara and smiled. Kuwabara looked at him confusedly and then paused for Hiei had his right arm stretched out beneath the window.
"Hiei, no!" he screamed as the fire demon slammed the window on his own arm.
7:00 pm
"Hiei, why did you do that?" asked Kurama in shock at what the fire demon has done to himself.
Hiei didn't respond making Kurama furious.
"What is going on Hiei!" he said angrily. Hiei still didn't answer him. "Answer me!" he said again raising his voice.
Hiei looked at Kurama with a strange expression on his face. "I don't know." he whispered.
Kurama was silent, he didn't know what to say to Hiei. Grabbing Hiei's shoulders, he bended down to the fire demons level.
"Just- don't do that again." he said sounding very worried.
7:23pm
"Yusuke, I believe Hiei might need a doctor." Kurama said sounding very concerned.
"Yeah I noticed, but how about his jagan? I'm sure normal people don't have three eyeballs." Yusuke responded a bit irritated.
"Well, we can't let him out of our site then." he said pushing back some strands of hair.
"Why don't you go relax, I'll watch Hiei for now." Yusuke said giving the fox a thumbs up.
8:45pm
Kurama was asleep on the couch. The lights flashed making an annoying sound. The red head turned a bit but didn't wake up. The window opened and the cold air came in.
9:00pm
Kurama shivered and woke up. Lifting up his face he noticed that the window was opened again. Lifting up he angrily closed it. The fact that they had to defeat an unknown demon was a headache on it's own, someone opening all the windows was something Kurama was not going to take.
"Who on earth is-!" he then paused as he saw a trail of potato chips.
Kurama put his hands on his hips and tapped his foot a bit in annoyance. Following the chips he came into the kitchen.
"Kuwabara, if you are going to eat then at least..." he looked around the room and saw the bag of chips on the floor.
He bent over and was about to pick it up when he saw the basement door opened. His head slightly tipped as if looking at a different angle would help make the situation make sense. He walked over and looked down the stairs.
"Kuwabara?" he called out.
There was no response so Kurama closed the door. Turning around he was going to go pick up the chips bag.
"You called." said Kuwabara startling the fox.
"Kuwabara!" he said with a hand on his chest.
Kuwabara smiled "Didn't mean to frighten you." he said sweetly helping him pick up the chips.
"It's all right." he responded slightly looking at the door.
10:45pm
All the boys were sleeping. Hiei was facing the corner humming. Chocolate brown eyes slowly opened at the sound of music. Lifting up he looked at Hiei confusedly.
"Hiei?" he whispered.
The humming suddenly stopped. Hiei turned his head towards the detectives direction. Droplets of blood were on Hiei's face. Yusuke stood up in shock, Hiei's fingertips were covered in blood.
Hiei smiled "Que Dios te bendiga!"
