Okay. Here's Chapter Two.
Midnight
Chapter Two
The other three had spent the next half hour looking for Kurama. He was nowhere to be found. They tried to open the doors and windows to get out somehow to get help but they were hopelessly jammed. They were starting to fear Kurama wasn't inside his house anymore. And they couldn't get out. Hiei had tried breaking down the door and there was some force field protecting it. Made of demon energy. They had called Kurama's name in vain. Only getting moaning and laughter in return.
In the living room once more, Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei thought about their situation.
"We always get moaning and laughter whenever we call him, right?" Hiei questioned. The other two nodded.
"Yeah, what's your point?" Kuwabara remarked. Hiei shot him a Death Glare before continuing.
"Next time we hear the moaning and laughter listen to hear which direcion it's coming from."
"But we already checked the entire house." Yusuke complained "There's nowhere we haven't looked. If we go around again it would be wasting our time." Hiei hung his head and sighed, trying to prevent an upcoming headache.
"Listen. Do you want to find the fox, or not?" They did. "Then let's go. For all we know he could be dead by now." And they wondered throughout the house again, calling their friend's name the whole time until they heard voices. They were right through the door to one of the bedrooms. Hiei motioned for them to hide up against the wall with him while they listened to whomever was inside.
The demons' voices were gruesome. They were the kind of voices that made your eares bleed. And they were threatening Kurama.
"So, the legendary fox demon falls into our grasp. Looks like we finally out smarted you for once, boy!"
"Yeah," the second one agreed "We out smarted you. Now we'll just have to wait for your companions to arrive. They'll be in for a treat, too."
Outside the room Yusuke cringed. Must be pretty smart if they can out smart Kurama. Yusuke didn't know anybody smarter than Kurama. Strong, too. If they could capture him and make him moan in pain like that.
"How are we going to get in?" Yusuke asked, turning his head to Hiei, who was right beside him closest to the door. Hiei laughed under his breath and answered: "Like this." And unlike the doors that reached outside, this one didn't have a force field, so Hiei could bust it right down. The Fire Demon spun around all martial arts-like and kicked down the door, startling Kurama and the two demons.
"We're here! And ready for anything you throw at us!" Yusuke announced, ready to fire his Spirit Gun at the two demons. They put both hands up innocently, and began to explain themselves.
"We only wanted to play a little game with you guys!"
"Yeah, yeah, a game!"
"What kind of game?" Kuwabara asked, raising an eyebrow.
"A real fun one. You have to fight us, solve riddles, whatever. But if you don't complete them before midnight, your friend...well...you can guess what will happen to him. He looks bad already. I think we used too much poison on this one! Ha ha ha!"
The three looked at Kurama, who was in handcuffs and ankle chains on the ground in a corner. He looked awfully pale. White seemed as dark as black compared to how pale he was. His muscles were weak and feeble. He couldn't move if he wanted to.
"You're probably wondering how we captured such a legendary fox so quietly. Well, yesterday we planted an immobilizer under the carpet. Kurama didn't see it because it was so dark, and boom. Easy. You messed up this time, thief! The last time you screwed up you were forced to give up your being fully demon! This time you screwed up you'll be forced to give up your life!"
Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei shot those two demons a look as fierce as Yoko's.
"What do you want us to do?" Kuwabara asked, looking at the ground angerly.
The two demons stood there and thought for a moment or two. They whispered something in each other's ear and nodded.
"You will defeat this demon." And right out of nowhere who else but Karasu was to appear right in front of them.
