Yello everyone! And yes...I said yello (grins) I actually say hello like that in real life hahaha.

Anyway, I'm going to have to warn you all that from this chapter til chapter 13 or something like that there is going to be...humor that will make you laugh but its the dark/silly humor hehehe, you'll have to see! Also, the plot thickens at this point!

Actually the next chapter is my favorite because I crack up everytime I read it (sweat drops) but this one leads into that one. Oh, and sorry about allll of the cliffys! I just like doing that because I'm afraid you guys won't come back for more (sweat drops) Hey, blame the people I lost from NOT doing cliffys...(mumbles) stupid people that never came back to review even after I told them when I would come back with the story...(normal voice) Anyway, I'm sorry for the wait and I hope this chapter makes up for it (winks).

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story line PERIOD.

ENJOY!


Chapter 7

Last time in chapter five...

The phone rang; Kuwabara's phone rang.

Kurama's eyes snapped open, his head jerked towards the phone that sat on Kuwabara's desk. He reached for the phone and answered it, his breath hitching in his throat as he brought the receiver to his ear. He knew the only way Karasu could have known of Kuwabara's phone number was if he got it out of Kuwabara him self.

'I swear….' Kurama thinks as he shakily answers the phone.

Now this time...

"Hello?"

"Kurama?"

Kurama blinked at the phone. That voice wasn't Karasu, nor was is a distraught Kuwabara.

"Yusuke?" Kurama asked in total shock.

"Hey Kurama, I didn't know you visited Kuwabara's this late. How's everything with you? Like how is your mom and that new dad and brother of yours?" Yusuke asked.

Kurama was still in shock and let out the breath he had been holding in that whole time.

"They're fine. Yusuke…don't you know it's three in the morning?" Kurama asked, a bit surprised how late Yusuke was calling.

"Yeah, but I always call Kuwabara at this time."

Kurama is a bit surprised at this fact, especially since Kuwabara doesn't like to be bothered while he sleeps.

"And he doesn't mind?" Kurama asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Naw, he thinks there's a time difference here. He thinks that when I call him it's three in the afternoon, not in the morning."

Kurama became more confused.

"You know that's not true, we have the same time as they do in Tokyo." Kurama said.

"You, Hiei, and I know that, but Kuwabara doesn't." snickered Yusuke, his smirk seeping through the phone.

Kurama couldn't help but chuckle.

Of course it was like Yusuke to trick his best friend into believing something that was utterly wrong.

"So where is the idiot? Don't tell me he fell asleep already? He knows this is the time I call him every night!" Yusuke shouted, sounding like he's getting a bit annoyed at how impatient his friend was.

Kurama was quiet for a minute. He glancesd over to the still blood soaked sheets of Kuwabara's bed and felt a sting in both his eyes and his throat.

"Kurama?" Yusuke asked a bit worried. "Hey Kurama, what's up man? Did something happen? Is Kuwabara alright?"

Kurama could tell Yusuke's voice began to sound a bit in a panic with that last line. Hetook in several breaths, trying to calm himself down.

"Answer me damnit! Did something happen to Kuwabara! You wouldn't be there this late unless something did!" Yusuke shouted, now starting to lose his cool.

Kuwabara was his best friend; he would go through Hell and back to help him; as would Kuwabara would do for him.

"Yusuke…I…." Kurama started but found that he couldn't find anything to say.

He didn't want to tell Yusuke, for fear of how he would react. However, he knew he needed to tell his friend what had happened to his best friend.

"What?" Yusuke asked his voice a bit calmer now.

Yusukewas more then worried and he knew freaking out would not help what ever mess his idiot friend had gotten himself into.

"It's Karasu, Yusuke…" Kurama started clenching the phone to his ear.

"Huh? He's back…wait…did he come after you! And what does that have to do with Kuwabara?" Yusuke asked.

"He kidnapped Kuwabara and is using him to get to me….Yusuke…there isblood on Kuwabara's sheets…and….and there is a mark that looks like it could be from one ofKarasu's bombs…" Kurama said.

Dead silence met his ears.

Kurama's heart quickened. His throat closed. He could sense Yusuke's emotions through the phone.

"…No…" Kurama could barely make out over the phone.

"Yusuke don't panic. You and Kuwabara were the only ones who could easily contact Koenma. We need to figure out a way to get Kuwabara away from that sick bastard and kill him once and for all. Maybe we'll find out how he escaped from limbo in the first place." Kurama said trying to calm Yusuke down, even if his own heart was in a complete state of panic.

Yusuke's breath started to become a bit ragged as he talked.

"I swear that bastard's going to pay…I'll meet you at the park in 15 minutes. I'll call Koenma and have him get Botan to bring us to his office…" Yusuke said, anger in his voice, though it was the same tone he had at the Dark Tournament; the deadly calm voice he used after Toguro had killed Kuwabara, or had thought killed Kuwabara.

Yusuke hung up the phone.

Kurama stood there to a dead line tone in his ear. He finally placed the receiver down and left the room. He pasted by the bathroom Shizuru had been puking in. She had stopped and was now on the floor sobbing.

"That was Yusuke. We're going to Spirit World and figure out what to do."

Shizuru didn't move.

"I swear…we'll bring him back and kill that bastard."

Kurama walked out of the house and towards the park.

Up stairs in Kuwabara's room; a phone rang...


Hehehe, sorry about another cliffy, but I bet you can't guess who THAT is hehehe (winks). Anyway, you can tell all Hell's gonna break lose now that Yusuke knows...and where's Hiei during this? Will he be there too? Oh the plans I have for this you will all love...espeically how it ends...I think most of you will hug me yet killme at the same time for my ending (winks).
