Chapter 5

Chapter 5- The new recruit

The Urameshi three ran though out the forest, heading to the other side. Kirma was last seen to be there and more people, demons included were dead. The scene was different though. The three were greeted with the sight of dead demons, but they weren't killed with Kirma's kitsune attack. This attack was different from his. It was almost familiar…

Yusuke bent down and touched the thin mark on the ground. "This is a strong whip thingy…and its's precise too…" he said eyeing the injury on the dead demon.

'Rose whip…' Hiei thought as he looked at his surroundings. The whip would usually cause a great amount of injury and it was so familiar to this one. ' Least I know its not Kurama, I don't recognize his chi anywhere…'

"You think its someone else?" Yusuke asked Hiei.

"Nani?"

"Shrimp, pay attention man! This is so familiar to Kurama's attack, but he'll never do this…you think its someone else?"

"course!" intervened Yusuke. "Kurama would never so something like this! That's it for today, why don't we rest and continue this tomrrow? He said, eyeing the moon.

"Ya! Over here!" Kuwabara pointed to a clearing and unpacked his belongings for an uncomfortable sleep. Yusuke started the fire and fell asleep himself. Hiei was up in the tree, thinking.

---------------------------------

It wasn't long when Kuwabara stirred in his sleep. Usually his dreams were all centered around one ice demoness, but today's was different. He kept on hearing a familiar, alto voice. It was pleading, like it was asking for help.

--Dream

uwabara was sitting crossed legged in a clearing covered by smoke. The fog was affecting his vision and he only had glimpses of what to see.

Bright Red hair. Kurama! Someone was towering over a little youko, probably Kurama. A whip was in its arm and it lashed down resulting in a piercing scream from the youko.

The image faded and then it showed another kitsune, a different one, with bandaged arms. Smoke was encircling it and a golden sign appeared. Its eyes faced Kuwabara and faded away again.

Kuwabara winced at his last vision. Kurama was standing in front of him, the familiar friendly gleam out of his emerald eyes. His rose whip was called out and it was almost ready to attack. He looked deadly, just evil. He stood there for a few seconds and a tear ran down his eye. Kuwabara heard it. Help me… It was a quiet request and the evil gleam was lost in his emerald eyes. It went away and Kurama lashed out his rose whip at Kuwabara.

"Wha?? NOOO!!!!! Ku-"

Kuwabara looked around. The whip went right through him to a different target. Behind him, were the remaining members of the Urameshi team.

----------------------------------

"Ahhhh!!!!!!" Kuwabara bolted up banging his head on Yusuke's. He was breathing hard and sweat tricked down his face.

"Damn, Kuwa! You're screams could've woken up everyone!!!!!"

"It did." Hiei threw down a dead youkai at the ground.

"So, watcha dream 'bout Kuwa?" Kuwabara couldn't speak. He was speechless, the horrid vision playing in his mind.

"Ku-"

"Nani? Aww, is the big and tough Kuwa scared of an itty witle little nightmare? Is it about Yuk-"

Kuwabara grabbed Yusuke's collar. "Kurama" he breathed and fainted.

"Kurama." The word coming from the Kuwabara's mouth caught Hiei's attention.

"What bout Kurama?" he snarled revealing a bit of fang.

"I…dunno, he fainted." Yusuke replied looking down at the ashen face.

"He's not going to be up in a while you know…"

The two turned and saw Mukuro. "Nani?"

"He had a strong vision. It took a lot out of him. He's like you Hiei when you use your dragon attack." Mukuro left.

Yusuke asked "A vision? Like predicting the future that kind of vision?"

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Yusuke grumbled and rubbed his sleep-blurred eyes. He had less than the amount of sleep he needed and was in a bad mood. As usual, Hiei was gone.

"HIEI! HIEI! WHERE ARE YOU MAN?" Looking around, and still no sign he cursed once more because of the mood that he's in.

"DAMN IT HIEI! WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?"

"Hn."

Yusuke whirled around, to see Hiei land on swiftly on the ground a few feet from the unconscious Kuwabara.

"And where the hell were you!!!!!????"

"Let's just go, k?" Hiei shot one of his deadly glares and flitted off.

"Just great…just great! I get to carry the heaviest man in the world!" Muttered Yusuke as he slung Kuwabara over his back.

-----------------------------------------------

They didn't go far when they recognized a familiar chi. Kurama's.

"Yes! Kurama's here! He can help now!" Yusuke dashed off trying to find Kurama.

Hiei heart did a somersault when he felt Kurama's chi. He followed Yusuke in a hurry, wanting to see Kurama as soon as possible.

Hiei had a confused look as he saw Yusuke stop in the edge of the forest path. 'What is he doing now? That baka!' Kuwabara dropped from Yusuke's shoulder as Hiei landed down next to Yusuke.

His eyes widened as he saw what Yusuke saw. There was Kirma, leaning against a tree, a smug look on his face. In front of him was Kurama, his rose whip out and the deadliest look in his eyes…
