Neko Yasha: Hi every one! Welcome back! I was just a little upset that I only got 2 reviews for that chapter, but that's ok because I know it sucked.

Hiei: however, this chapter should be a lot better. We hope.

Chibi Kurama: yep! *giggles*

Neko Yasha: (gets down on knees) please review for this chapter! PLEASE!

Hiei: (sighs) all right. Well, lets just get onto chapter twelve.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(Kurama's P.O.V)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I looked about the scenery and smiled happily as we walked through the park, the cool brisk autumn wind whipped through my long red hair, which was pulled back tightly in a high pony tail to avoid being thrown about by the harsh wind. Yusuke and Kuwabara walked up ahead of me, Yusuke playfully slapping his lover's rear as Kuwabara laughed and made unmistakably false death threats. I couldn't help but laugh along with them as I watched them wrestle and roll about the leaves, but at the same time I felt sort of lonely and upset by the fact that my own lover couldn't join me. Although I deeply longed for Hiei's presence, I was also grateful that I finally got a moment to my self as Yusuke and Kuwabara were much too busy making out to notice me. As I watched the pair lying in the leaves, engaged in a fight for dominance, I began to look back on how it all began. It seems strange that only 5 months ago, Kuwabara was absolutely obsessed with Yukina, but after she moved on with her life and fell deeply in love with Botan (1) Kuwabara soon realized that he was not only BI-sexual, but he was also in love with Yusuke, which also helped me realize my feelings for Hiei. This caused a smile to cross my face as I thought back on the moment when Hiei had pledged his love for me in one of his letters, which was so unlike him. The mere thought of the words in his letter made my heart thump violently against my chest. I still remember every word to it like I had read it yesterday. Well, almost every word. Despite his tough exterior, Hiei was really sweet inside. He just had a funny way of showing it. It's almost the same thing with Kuwabara and Yusuke.

Although most of the time they're either fighting over the remote or arguing about some wrestling match, when they're alone they're sweet as can be. Just like Hiei and i. Feeling a bit awkward watching the kissing couple, I quickly scurried off towards a large fountain in the middle of the park, which wasn't too far off.

I sat down on the edge of the icy water and watched as the tiny Japanese carp swam about, occasionally

Pecking at one another, fighting for the tiny flakes of fish food that floated along the surface. I sighed as I began to grow weary, and a little nauseous from walking around so much, so I got up and walked over to the now fully naked pair. 'How can they do that in this weather?' I wondered to my self. "Um, you guys, I'm going to head back home. It's getting cold." All I got in response was a muffled grunt from Kuwabara as the two continued their actions. Once I was sure they knew I existed, I began to walk away from the duo, muttering a quick good bye. After about 5 minutes of walking, I came to an ally that I had passed through many times on my way home from school. I was still about 15 minutes away from my home, but I kept on walking, ignoring the harsh weather and the sharp pain in my stomach that only seemed to be growing worse. Vaguely I realized that there was some one up ahead, but I was too far away to see who it was.

My head was pounding and my knees began to grow weak, but I couldn't stop now. If I didn't get home, Hiei would worry. Soon the pain began to feel like a thousand knives stabbing me repeatedly until I felt I couldn't bear it any more. Just as the figure came into proportion, I collapsed in the light layer of snow,

Using all my strength just to tip my head up and look into the figure's face. I gasped at the sight.

The figure was tall, easily towering over 6 feet. He had waste long black hair, which flowed freely in the wind as he turned to face me. Most of his face was covered up by a small mask, but his eyes shown clearly.

They were pitch black. Blacker than the darkest nights. Blacker than any thing that could pass through my imagination. And in his eyes, I saw no emotion. All I saw was a stone cold stare that could strike fear in even the hearts of the bravest men. And it did mine as well. I could tell by first glance that he wasn't here to help me. As he stepped closer, his raven black strands falling into his pale face, he leaned in so that his face was right next to mine and even through the mask, I could feel his ice cold breath against my skin, making the hairs on my neck rise. I gathered up the last of my strength, and tried my best not to black out from the pain as I whispered one last word. "K-Karasu.." with that, I fell back against the snow that had piled about my body and let my eyes slide shut, although I was still very much awake. "You remember me Kurama. What a surprise. I was thinking after all these years you would've forgotten about me by now. After all these years I'm afraid I had forgotten about you. That is, until I young woman named Kita came my way."

I gasped. "Oh, you know her? Good. That makes things so much clearer. A few months ago, she came to me and clamed that you had done her wrong. I had no idea that it was true. Hn. oh well. She sent for me to go after you and bring you to her. That is obviously what I'm here for." I gasped again as he reached down and lifted me up. I tried my hardest to fight back, but the pain was too much. I couldn't bare it any longer.

I gave one last shove to attempt to wiggle free, but Karasu's grip was much too strong and I soon found my self slipping into unconsciousness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Neko Yasha: (gasp) what's going to happen to Kurama?! What will Karasu do?!

Hiei: "O_O" what did you do to my fox?!

Neko Yasha: (giggles) I'm not telling! Or at least not until the next chapter.

Chibi Kurama: (sniffle) I don't wanna weave my Hiei-Chan!

Neko Yasha: don't worry! I wouldn't kill you!

Hiei: (sighs in relief) good.

Neko Yasha: yet.

Hiei and Chibi Kurama: "O_O"

Neko Yasha: hehe. So, any way, please R&R!

Hiei: flames will only be used to roast marsh mellows.

Chibi Kurama: Yummy!

Neko Yasha: so, please review! Bu-bye!
