Krystal Fox: This story idea is my own, but all characters do to with YuYuHakusho are not mine but those who created it.

Chapter 7 Lost forever?

Hiei watched as Lord Raasin scolded Yuusuke for not coming by sooner. It was amusing. It was even more amusing to see the demons of the court wondering why a full human was standing with the group completely ignoring them and rapidly questioning one of their group.

"Alright we will move on to the comprehension study." Shizuru said loudly. "You will listen to me read and then I will ask you a series of questions and you will answer them."

Kuwabara groaned, "Please Shizuru can we have a break? We have been going non-stop since three days ago, besides meals and sleeping."

Raasin watched this exchange looking amused, silencing Yuusuke as he watched.

"No, idiot, you will study till you have this book memorized and can pass the college tests with flying colors…." She was about to start again when Raasin interrupted her.

"Young Lady," He said rising and walking towards her, "You are a very interesting human, I believe I have never had a full human in my courts that lived beyond a few minutes. What is your name?"

(For he hadn't heard Kuwabara call her name out)

"Well…I am Shizuru and you are?" She hadn't been paying attention to anything besides quizzing her brother.

"I am the Lord of these lands. Raasin." He motioned for her to take a seat beside him and said, "My heir tells me that you are searching for a mismatched family of humans and demons. What are your thoughts on this adventure?" He said recognizing her wisdom.

"I believe we should just leave the family alone and say "pah" to Enma and be done with it." She said stating her anger towards Enma.

"Hm. That is an interesting idea! But if you do just abandon this mission you must realize that this family won't know it. Someone must find them and tell them." He said smirking at Shizuru as she glared at the demons who were drooling at her.

Yuusuke watched this exchange in shock! His ancestor was taking advice from a human!

Hiei thought it was amusing, to watch the two idiots with their mouths open.

"Trying to give the flies a place to stay idiots?" Hiei asked in a monotone voice.

"Hm. Now that we have this issue dealt with I have a new mission for my young heir." Raasin said turning to Yuusuke.

"What is it this time?" Yuusuke asked annoyed that he had been ignored.

"Two of my best slaves died the other day and I am in need of new ones to replace them. I need a lady demon of great beauty and a male of dark features. It matters not what demon race they are from as long as I get them soon. Their work is important to my home." Raasin said rising to leave.

"Um, exactly what will these slaves be doing?" Yuusuke asked nervously.

"Oh, you would want to know it wouldn't you?" He said with the same smirk Urameshi gave when he knew another was setting himself up. "I need a new maid servant and new male steward of my quarters and stables."

Shizuru and Hiei sweat dropped like "oh brother."

Yuusuke nodded and then turned to leave for the Black Market of Makia's slaves.

Kurone looked around the body packed marketplaces and held tightly to his wife. He would not loose her in his fray. Infact he had a mind to carry her just so that he would know that he had her.

Looking at Youko saw that he looked just as worried, he held Light in his arms and wasn't letting her even go anywhere, but she wasn't pushing it either.

Picking up his wife even at her dark looks, walked towards the rooms they would stay in for a time so that they might distract the Tentai from finding them.

"Youko, our usual room?" Kurone asked as Youko too picked up Light following him.

"yes, but let's do the south window this time, I believe it has less of a chance of others getting in then the north window." Youko said with a smirk

Kurone nodded and headed for an alleyway. Then let his wings spread and up he went to a window that was small and had a barred latice across it. Taking a key from his pocket he unlocked it and pushed the window up and let Dark slip inside shortly following behind.

Youko bent his knees and in one giant leap went right into the window landing gracefully on the floor.

"Show off." Light whispered in his ear. He nodded and said back, "Anything for you."

Looking around the room the girls saw rich furniture that was beautiful to see, tapestries and two HUGE four-poster beds sitting on opposite sides of the room.

"What is this place?" Light asked looking at all the stuff, "There's no door!" She said looking behind each tapestry and set of drawers.

Dark realized also that sure enough the only way in and out was the little window that they had just entered through.

"This place is a hiding place that Youko made about 10 years before I met him. He had secretly built this in a frame of an inn and no one has noticed it yet because of the powerful forgetfulness plants he has at all the corners, and radius' of this building." Kuroen said with a smile.

"It is the perfect place to hide because this inn happens to be right beside an herbal shop so any smells that demons get they think comes from that shop." The bat continued.

"Well we will just have to wait them out." Light said laying down on the bed. "But for now I am really sleepy and even if you guys aren't I am going to sleep."

Youko sat on the same bed and soon the other two saw they were both fast asleep. Kurone smiled as he secured the bars and then the window then locking a second bar from the inside of the room as extra protection. Going about the room lit two huge candles, they were about 4 feet tall each and looked like once they got to one foot more wax and wick had been added to it.

"Your light?" Dark said motioning to the candles.

"Yep. We found that candle light is the only lights that doesn't bring any attention around this kind of neighborhood." Kurone took her hand and led her to the bed when they too fell asleep from the exhaustion of the day.

Krystal Fox: Alright here's a longer chapter. Hope you like it. It's building on to an exciting end.
