Chapter 10
Karasu stares at his phone is shock.
"So what happened?" Kuwabara asked, not able to hear the conversation.
"He went to Koenma's with Urameshi…." Karasu said, not really to Kuwabara but more to himself.
"You're in some deep shiat now if Urameshi's involved. Kurama must've told him when he called." Kuwabara said, hope in his eyes and voice at how his chances to be rescued had grown a bit towards his favor.
Karasu knew this would be a problem. He knew of the tight bond Yusuke had with Kuwabara; their friendship was what made the duo what they were. He hadn't taken this into consideration. Karasu knew Kurama wouldn't have asked Yusuke for help, figuring the ill tempered half demon would make matters worse for the one Karasu had captured; his secret desire Kuwabara.
Karasu sighed.
He couldn't get a hold of spirit world for the fact he didn't know how or who to ask for that matter. He was what Kuwabara had just described; in deep shiat.
"I must contact them…." He mumbled to himself.
"I know how to contact Koenma." Kuwabara said.
He knew it was risky to let Karasu know all of the information he was relaying, however, he figured if he didn't then Kurama or someone else that was close to him would get seriously hurt. He did not want to take that risk. Kuwabara figured that Karasu would take matters into his own hands and the ending result would end up with Kurama or someone else Kuwabara held dear to his heart to be injured or worse.
Kuwabara figured the less aggravated his captor was made and the more information Kuwabara could tell him in order to reach Kurama; there would be less of a chance of those getting hurt. He would die before he would let anything horrible or painful happen to any of his friends.
Karasu looked at the boy who was his prisoner surprised. He never thought Kuwabara would sink to such a low; selling out his friends for his own life. It was dishonorable and against everything he knew the boy to stand for.
"The sooner you reach them the sooner they can get over here to kick yer sorry ass, so I'll definitely give you Koenma's number. It's number two on my phone." Kuwabara said while tilting his head towards his left pocket.
Karasu seemed to give a sigh of relief.
He couldn't believe he would doubt the boy for his kind heart. Karasu closed his own phone and put it back into his pocket. He then reached into Kuwabara's and pulled out basically the same type of cell phone he had, however it was blue with an orange screen.
Karasu snickered.
'Fits his personality.' Karasu thought.
Kuwabara looked at the demon a bit confused.
Karasu looked down at the phone a bit curious.
"Who's number one on your phone?"
"Urameshi, why?" Kuwabara asked, not knowing why that was important.
Karasu chuckled.
"Figures."
"What was that!" Kuwabara shouted.
Karasu glared at him.
"You're in no position to be a smart aXs." Karasu stated.
Kuwabara closed his mouth, realizing that Karasu had been fair up to then and Kuwabara figured he shouldn't push his luck.
Karasu pushed number two on the phone and waited. He hoped that the saying was true; third times a charm.
(Scene Change)
Kurama waited in the park, his nerves were totally shot. He felt as if he was going to collapse any minute. He jumped when Botan showed up.
"Hey Kurama….are you ok? You look terrible…." Botan looked concerned at Kurama, who was pale and looked as if he hadn't had any decent rest for a while.
"I will once Yusuke comes…thank you Botan for doing this." Kurama said, giving the deity a weak smile.
Botan gave Kurama a hard look, not really buying the smile he was giving her, but decided to act like she didn't notice.
She gave him one of her cheerful smiles.
"No problem."
Her smile disappeared as she thought of something.
"Though, I am kind of worried about Yusuke. He sounded upset when I talked to him over the communicator."
She looked at Kurama and noticed the look of misery cross his beautiful features.
'Something is definitely wrong…' Botan thought.
Kurama and Botan's thoughts were interrupted as someone approached them.
"I'm here..." Yusuke said his eyes filled with fire.
Botan gasped.
The last time she had seen those eyes was right after Kuwabara was pierced with Toguro's fingers, and then again after Kuwabara was kidnapped by Sensui.
She knew something had to have happen to Kuwabara just by looking into those eyes.
"So let's go." Yusuke added, looking at Botan.
She snapped out of her worry and nodded, becoming serious.
"Yes."
She out stretched her hand and her oar appeared with in it. She sat on top of it and made a motion for them to do the same.
Yusuke looked at her like she was nuts.
"There's no way I'm riding on that thing." He growled, crossing his arms over his chest.
Kurama walked up to the oar and sat behind Botan. He turned towards Yusuke.
"Come on Yusuke, this is not the time to be stubborn…."
Yusuke's eyes flashed in pain as Kuwabara's image flashed before his eyes; lying cold and bleeding on the ground at the Dark Tournament. The scared look his best friend had on that boat when he was bond and gagged surrounded by hungry demons. Yusuke had made a promise to himself and a silent one to Kuwabara that he would NEVER let ANYONE or ANYTHING hurt him again, he had already let him down twice and he wasn't going to break that promise no matter what.
"You're right."
Yusuke walked towards the oar and sat behind Kurama.
"You guys ready?" Botan asked, trying to ignore the pain that seemed to cross the two boy's faces.
"Yes." both said.
Kurama wrapped his arms around Botan's waist, while Yusuke did so to Kurama, though a bit more hesitant.
He felt weird, as if he wasn't suppose to be holding him; as if something wasn't right.
"Alright, hang on." Botan said before flying off to spirit world.
Once they touched down in spirit world, Yusuke and Kurama ran towards the demi-god's office, ready to learn the answers for the questions they had.
Yusuke was the one who barged into Koenma's office with out a knock or anything else to warn the demi-god of his entrance.
"Koenma!" Yusuke shouted, running into the office pissed off.
Koenma looked up from the piles of paper work he had piled up on his desk. His eyes were in shock to see Yusuke and Kurama barging into his office, though it was more Yusuke barging in then Kurama.
"Yusuke! What are you doing here! Do you know what my dad will do if he finds out you're here!" shouted Koenma, worried for not only his own life but for the lives of this two favorite demons; other then Hiei of course.
"Karasu escaped." Yusuke growled.
Koenma's eyes widen at the news before going back to normal.
"There's no way he could escape limbo. If he did, we would have known of it." Koenma replied.
"It's true Koenma-sama. He kidnapped Kuwabara-kun…" Kurama started, but was interrupted by Yusuke.
"He's using Kuwabara to get Kurama! Kurama just came from his house. He told me there was a lot of blood and most likely it's from Kuwabara!" growled Yusuke.
Kurama sighed.
This was the exact reason why he wasn't going to tell the hanyou. He was always over dramatic when it came to his friends and loved ones, especially when Kuwabara was involved. Kurama found himself a bit jealous at what Yusuke and Kuwabara shared. Their bond was like a mate bond. The only difference was they weren't mated.
They knew each other so well and were so compatible that Kurama felt like he was competing for Kuwabara with Yusuke; however he knew that wasn't true for the fact that Yusuke not only had Keiko, but both boys were straight, or that was what everyone thought and knew about the two.
Koenma was at a lost of words. He didn't know what to think or what to say. He couldn't believe what Yusuke had told him. What didn't make sense was the fact that Karasu had kidnapped Kuwabara to get to Kurama.
Koenma thought if the crow really wanted to get to Kurama, then he would have gone after his mother; however he chosen to go after the human who wasn't even close friend's with the fox; not as close as Yusuke was with the human that is.
"What gets me is why he went after Kuwabara to get to Kurama." Yusuke said,as he gave a sigh,relaxing a bit.
He had grown up a bit in the past three years and with the help of Keiko and his other friend's, he had learned to control his temper a bit.
"That's what has me curious." Koenma said, glancing at Kurama who wouldn't look at the two of them.
Just then, Koenma's communicator went off. Koenma looked at it confused.
'I thought only Yusuke and Kuwabara had this number….' Koenma thought, never really finishing it as he looked at the caller ID and gasped at whose phone it was saying.
"Who is it?" Kurama asked curious as to why Koenma looked as if he saw a ghost.
"It's Kuwabara's cell!" Koenma said,
Yusuke out stretched his hand.
"Give it to me."
Koenma looked at the fire deep within those chocolate brown eyes, and sighed.
Koenma didn't think it would be best to give Yusuke the phone; however the look that was on Yusuke's face had done it for the demi-god.
"Fine, but please stay calm." Koenma said, handing the still ringing phone to the pissed off hanyou.
"Don't worry." Yusuke said as he answered the phone. "I will."
