Revenge on the Kitsune Chapter 2

Yusuke was awakened by a very loud tapping at his window. He wasn't exactly happy when he saw that it was 3:10a.m. He heard Hiei shout at him that if he didn't open the window, he'd break it. "Can't you bother Kurama?" Yusuke asked as he opened the window.

That's the problem. Kurama's gone!"

"Maybe you wore off on his and he's just out." Yusuke didn't believe his own words and could tell Hiei didn't either. Besides Kurama wouldn't sneak out unless it was really important, and even then he would leave his mother a note.

"Right and he would leave these?" Hiei held out a few seeds that Yusuke recognized as the one's Kurama kept in his hair, and a small bag of leather.

"How did you get those?"

"They were on his floor. The powder in the bag is a strong yet rare sleeping powder. The thing that worries me though was that his room had Karasu's odor everywhere."

"Karasu is dead though! So how..?" 'Wait a minute,' Yusuke thought to himself, 'did he just say that he was worried.

"Get the idiot, we're going to have to go to Koenma."

Koenma walked down the hall toward his office, when Botan came running toward him. "Koenma, you need to get to your office! I think Yusuke and Hiei are going to destroy it."

"What?" Koenma was running down the hall almost as fast as light. And sure enough, going through his flies were Yusuke and Hiei.

"Did you find it yet?" Yusuke asked Hiei without even noticing Koenma run into the room.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" Koenma yelled forcing Yusuke, Hiei, and even Botan, who was now a mile away, to cover their ears. Hiei, taking his hands off his ears looked at Koenma who was now sobbing. "I had those in order too!"

"What order?" Hiei suddenly jumped up.

"Found it!" came a muffled voice and from under a bunch of flies out came Kuwabara.

"Well what dose it say?" Yusuke asked.

"Uh, he's not dead. He somehow escaped the ferry girls."

"Great, just great." Yusuke groaned. Both he and Hiei were out of the room in seconds.

"What was that about?" Koenma asked.

"Uh, something about Kurama is missing and Karasu being alive," Kuwabara said, sort of confused.

"You idiot! If Karasu has Kurama he's dead!"

*****

Kurama woke to find that his arms were chained above him and he was about an inch off the ground. "Well, well the little fox has finally decided to join us." Kurama looked up to see Karasu, Bui, and the elder brother of Toguro.

"What the hell?" Kurama's eyes had begun to adjust to the darkness, but he didn't like finding that he was in a room of trouser. Kurama also noticed that Karasu didn't have his mask on. 'Oh great, I'm in just the perfect place right now.'

Karasu came closer to him and reached out to touch his face. "Still so beautiful. It's a pity you have to die, but at least not yet."

"What happened to your brother?" Kurama asked directing the question at the elder brother of Toguro, trying his best to ignore Karasu.

"Oh, my dear brother was the only one that truly died."

"And you will have to say hello to him for us later." Karasu was now only inches from Kurama's face.

*****

Yusuke and Hiei were trying their best to find Kurama. They both were worried for their friend (although Hiei would no longer admit it.) It had been two days since he had been kidnapped. Koenma, Kuwabara, and Botan were trying to find out how Karasu could even be alive. Hiei knew that Karasu would have to take Kurama some place near, for the powder restricted Kurama going very far.

They couldn't find anything to lead them to Karasu and it was getting frustrating. Yet it seemed as if Yusuke got his wish, because they now had another case.
