Anemone: hey...how's life? good? good...I feel that this idea can
really blossom-
Kurama: heehee I get it...
Anemone: ahem...BLOSSOM, into a decent fic...so, I'm gonna try to continue on with it...unless, of course, you, the readers have any objections?
Hiei: you promised me a bigger part!
Anemone: shh! Ok...moving on, that last chapter was supposed to be the end of an important battle...a lot happens before then, and that's where a few more chapters come in...
Hiei: can you get back to the blasted story, ningen?!
Kurama: Hiei...calm down...
Anemone: here we go, chapter two!
Chapter Two: Lonely Strides
Late one night, in the dead center mid-summer, a lone figure stalked the streets with a weighed heart and an empty void in his soul. He trudged through the park, and was heading in the direction of Yusuke's neighborhood...not really much of a destination, but more walking around His crimson hair was blown in the loose breeze, and his emerald eyes stung into the darkness of the hour.
"Naturally, I am alone," the fox cooed to himself softly, not in complaint, but simply stating a plain fact. Kurama calmly cast his eyes over his shoulder as yet another figure appeared on the scene.
"Yes, Hiei?" Kurama continued his slow stride, ignoring the three- eyed demon stalking him.
"Well, gee, Kurama...you were just complaining about how you were alone, and I figured I'd grant you a favor and grace you with my presence," Hiei smirked calmly.
With a heavy shrug, Kurama continued onward with his meaningless stroll. "Aren't you going to talk, Kitsune?" the shorter of the two commented aloud.
"No."
"Hmpf...so be it, Kitsune," and with that last, seething remark, the demon's entirety disappeared into a smeared flash, and where he once stood was now left barren.
Kurama of course ignored his friend's antics...they were meaningless, and held no distinction that the fox would bother to take to heart. "I suppose, right now...I'd rather be alone, Hiei." the fox breathed calmly over his shoulder, not a blink of emotion reflecting in his tired face. From a tree limb puncturing the air above Kurama's head, Hiei let escape a weighed, annoyed sigh. 'Why are you shunning my efforts, Red? You're too damned depressed...'

"Hahaha!" Botan giggled heartily at Keiko's joke. Both girls were caught in mad hysterics, bubbling over with glee. It was a very warm, yet breezy summer night, so the two girls were enjoying a little sleep-over party out on Keiko's oversized fire escape, where the breeze at least could brush against there faces...of course they'd go inside...eventually. "My Keiko that was some joke!"
"Not as funny as this one time when Yusuke was five and he-" Keiko's sentence was chopped short when Botan's face grew stern. The bluette's facetted pink eyes scanned the area quickly, fear drowning their dark pink into a faint, near white shade. Panic flooded over her as sounds of loose wires cracking grew steadily louder, the last of the fibers of the aluminum wires slowly snapping apart.
"Keiko..." she breathed softly, trying with a mighty strain to remain as calm as her quivering body would allow. "The...fire...escape...is...coming...loose..."
Keiko's caramel eyes broadened to their fullest, a strain of fear staining them. She remained silent for only the briefest of moments when-
"AAHHHHH!"
Kurama's senses jerked back to reality at the sound of the shrill screech. 'A girl...screaming...what could be happening?' the fox's thoughts swarmed over him violently as he broke into a dead-straight bolt for the scream. Even Hiei was slightly intruiged by the sound of the echoing noise, but was a tad too anti-ningen to bother with something that didn't even relate to an evil demon in any way. Kurama, on the other hand, was fully concerned for the safety of this young woman, and intended solely upon himself in necessary on solving her crisis.
-a/n: Hey...yeah, I know...it's a short chapter, but hey, cliffhanger...and I only have so much free time on my hands...I'll try to add more whenever I can squeeze in time.
Kurama: I like this story, Anemone...it's intruiging.
Hiei: I guess it's okay...
Anemone: yay! If Hiei can tolerate it, then I'm in the clear...hopefully...please review
Kurama: ...and please be nice.
Hiei: ...and please do it quickly so I can do more than stalk people...a favorite pastime of mine, yes, but still...and so I have less time to deal with this--*about to say baka about Anemone when Kurama glares threateningly at him...Hiei sighs heavily in annoyance*-- "girl"...
Anemone: if you guys don't like the chapter -- :'( --i'll understand and fix it...hey, i tried Kurama: don't beat yourself up over this, I like it.
Hiei: I personally don't give a damn--*Kurama elbows him, hard*-- Jeez, okay, okay...*heavy sigh* uh, there, there, ningen...
Kurama: refrain from flames if you can *whisper* she's a little sensitive...
Anemone: hey!
Hiei: pipe down, ningen, it's true...
Anemone: gee you're nice...
Hiei: whatever, human...I could kill you in seconds with my Katana if I felt like it!
Kurama: *to Anemone* but alas, he can't for two reasons: firstly I'm here, and secondly...he kind of likes you...
Hiei: WHAT?!
Kurama: please review, continue reading, and ignore Hiei...
Hiei: you dirty lying Kitsune!
Anemone: I hope you are lying, Kurama, dear...although Hiei is one of the coolest characters in all of Yuyu Hakusho, he still kinda scares me in person...
Kurama: exactly why I have to sit between you two whenever we come over...
Kurama: heehee I get it...
Anemone: ahem...BLOSSOM, into a decent fic...so, I'm gonna try to continue on with it...unless, of course, you, the readers have any objections?
Hiei: you promised me a bigger part!
