Kanna: NEXT CHAPTER!!!! I'm updating this story as fast as I can for those of you who want me to update it
~Chapter 2~
~*!~Investigation~!*~
Kurama comes to a clearing. He began to walk cautiously through the clearing, listening for any alerting sounds. When he was about ¾ the way he heard a rustling noise and spun around to find Hiei not more than 3 feet behind him. He smiled, "Hiei…"
"Kurama, I need to talk to you about something," Hiei said, cutting the kitsune off.
"Talk to me about what?" Kurama asked, clearly confused at Hiei's bluntness. The shorter demon standing in front of him had absolutely refused to talk about anything earlier but now… Then Kurama remembered that Yusuake and the others had been sitting in the room behind him and understood his friend's reluctance to talk about what was bothering him while they were at Genkai's
Hiei stood there silently. He wasn't sure where to begin. Instead he stared intently, unblinking, into Kurama's bright, intelligent green eyes.
All of a sudden Kurama fell forward towards Hiei. His hair changing from red to silver as his ears appeared and his eyes became gold before fluttering shut. He had become Youko Kurama in a matter of seconds.
Hiei caught his friend and gently lowered him to the ground. After making sure Kurama was all right Hiei looked around for whatever demon or human could have done what had been done to Kurama without either of them hearing it coming. He removed the white headband, allowing the Jagan on his forehead to seek out the attacker.
After a second or two, Hiei knew exactly what direction the attack had come from. Hiei picked up the unconscious Youko Kurama and took him back to Genkai's.
Just as Hiei was about to leave Genkai's he ran into Yukina (his twin sister although she doesn't/isn't allowed to know). He hadn't bothered to replace the headband, wanting to be able to track the movements of Kurama's attacker.
Yukina saw Kurama laying unconscious in the room Hiei had just left. "Hiei, what happened to him?" She asked, not bringing up the fact that she and the others had heard his argument with Kurama.
"Take care of him Yukina," was all Hiei said as he brushed passed her, heading in the direction of the attacker.
Yukin stared after him. She wasn't sure if she should stop him and force him to explain or do as he asked her. Then she saw Youko Kurama begin to stir. She was about to call after Hiei when she realized that he was long gone.
Instead she went into the room that the kitsune lay semiconscious in. "Kurama?"
"Yes?" He replied, looking up at her. His vision was fading in and out.
"Hiei told me to take care of you but I'm not sure why," Yukina explained.
Kurama just smiled to himself, not bothering with a response.
* * * * *
Hiei jumped from tree to tree with as much speed as he could muster without losing track of his prey.
Moments later he came out of the forest in the middle of a large, open meadow. He stood at the edge of the meadow, scanning it. Hiei was quiet cautious about exposing himself openly to someone as hard to keep track of (even for him) as who ever he was up against..
"Well, well, well. It took you long enough to get here but it appears the Forbidden Child has finally found his way to us," Someone said, chuckling, from behind Hiei.
Kanna: Really wish these chapters were longer but I know you people just want me to continue with the story as soon as possible. Then again I'm kind of glad the chapters are short, I don't know about the rest of you but I always hated it when the author would type up really long chapters especially if I was doing the book as a report for school and I had to have a certain amount of chapters read by a certain date.
