I think I should have put this earlier, but I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho, or anything else in this fic. (Anything that comes up)



As he walked down the street, Kurama thought about his dream again. (Why can't I get this off my mind?) he wondered. (I think I've worried myself enough about it!!) He tried to think of other things, like, what he was going to do that day, or what Yusuke and the others were doing, but in a back corner of his mind, the dream lurked, as persistant as ever.
"Hey, Kurama!!!" Kurama turned and saw Kuwabara running down the sidewalk toward him. "I've been calling your name for about a block now, but you never even took notice of me. What's up?" Kurama smiled.
"I thought I made it clear that when you adress me in public, my name is 'Suichi'," Kurama said. Kuwabara paused for a moment.
"Oh, sorry," he said. "I guess I forgot." (Again,) Kurama noted mentally. "Like I was saying, you've been spacy lately. What's up with that?"
"I guess I've been thinking about things harder lately," Kurama said. Well, it wasn't exactly a lie. He was thinking hard about the dream . . . but still, it was, for the most part, a lie. (I lie by silence,) Kurama thought as he studied Kuwabara's face for his reaction. Kuwabara seemed satisfied for a moment, but after a hurried excuse to leave, he turned to face Kurama again.
"Are you sure that's it?" he asked. Kurama had to smile at the human's kind heart.
"Yeah, I'm sure about it," Kurama said. "So . . . were you just going to stop me to have a five-minute-chat, or was there something more to it?" As sincere as he was about the statement, it still sounded sarcastic.
"Yeah," Kuwabara said. "Urameshi told me to find you."
"Really?" Kurama said. "What's up?"
"I don't know," Kuwabara said. "He just called and said that he wanted me to find you."
"Oh, well, let's go then," Kurama said.
"Yeah!" Kuwabara yelled.

Yusuke Urameshi sat in Kuwabara's room, waiting for him and Kurama to come. Meanwhile, he stared at the tape that Botan had given him earlier that morning.
"Botan, it's way too early in the morning for this type of thing," he had moaned through a yawn.
"Shush," she told him. "I have a tape from the Spirit World describing your next case." He had took the tape and noticed a note on top of it.
"What's this?" he asked, taking the note of the top of it.
"Oh," Botan said. "I guess I didn't notice that. It's a note from Koenma. I'd suggest you read it." Yusuke looked at the note again.

Yusuke,

I want you to make sure that Kurama comes with you on this case. I know, I know, you're wondering why. Well, the thing is, Karasu has returned. You remember, right? The one Kurama fought? Even if you don't, we believe that Karasu is planning his revenge against Kurama. So, we want you to keep Kurama busy while we track him down and bring him back to the Spirit World.

Luckily, this came up right after he did. We want you to go and find the criminals in the Spirit World. It's described better in the tape. Signing out,

Koenma.

"Well, okay," Yusuke said. "But I'm going back to bed until I'm ready to watch this."And with that, he had walked off.
"Yusuke, you're inpossible!!" Botan had yelled. Yusuke, of course, had ignored her.

"So, it's another one of those things from Koenma," Shizuru said, coming in and sitting down beside him. "I hope it's not another Tournament. That was . . . "
"Not fun," Yusuke finished the sentence for her. "It's something about going to the Spirit World and tracking down the people who did something wrong."
"Why haven't you watched it yet?"
"The note on it was talking about Kurama," Yusuke said. "Koenma wanted him to go on this case, so I sent your brother to find him."
"Are you sure that was a good idea?" Shizuru asked.
"Not sure," Yusuke said.
"URAMESHI!!!" Kuwabara's voice rang through the house and into Yusuke's ears. He covered them, and Shizuru winced and walked out.
"There's no need to yell," came a softer voice. "He's right here." Yusuke smiled at Kurama as he walked into the room. "So, what's up?"
"Koenma sent me another tape with a case on it," Yusuke said, over the sounds of Shizuru smacking Kuwabara. "And I thought it might be a good idea to have you over."
"Because Koenma asked for him?"
"Hey, Shrimp," Kuwabara said, walking in. There were several lumps on his head and his left eye was rapidly going black and blue. "Why are you here?"
"I saw you and Kurama walking, and I decided to come," Hiei said. "Good thing, too, after what I heard."
"Why would Koenma ask for me?" Kurama asked. All three of the others shrugged. "Fine. Let's just watch the tape." Yusuke popped the tape into the VCR.

"Do you think Kurama will fall for it?" Koenma asked. He was fidgeting nervously at his desk waiting for Botan to return with news of the four Spirit Detectives.
"I'm not sure, Koenma sir," Jorge said.
"Where is Botan?" Koenma demanded.
"I think she's still watching Yusuke and the others, sir," Jorge said. "I think that Kurama's smart enough to see through it . . . "
"Who cares, Ogre!!" Koenma said.
"But, Koenma sir," Jorge said.
"Koenma sir!!" Botan came running in.
"What's the news, Botan?" Koenma asked.
"Yes, do tell," Jorge commented.
"I don't think Kurama fell for it," Botan said. "But he's playing along with it anyway." Koenma sighed.
"I though this would happen. Oh, well, we'll have to hope that Kurama will just play along until we catch Karasu," Koenma said.
"We will, Koenma, we will," Botan said as Koenma turned on the television where they watched Yusuke.

"So . . . that's it?" Yusuke said. "We just have to catch some robbers and take their treasures back to Koenma?"
"That's simple!!" Kuwabara said.
"I do admit, it doesn't look very challenging," Kurama said. He was glad to have something to take his mind off of the dreams. Hiei gave him a glance, and Kurama smiled.
"I think that they could have sent someone else to do this," Hiei said. "I'm not gonna help this time."
"I though you had to-" Yusuke trailed off as Hiei jumped out of the window.
"Just let him go," Kurama said. "He's the one who's going to miss the action." If Yusuke hadn't known any better, he would have sworn that Kurama was happy about getting a new case. He shrugged it off.
"Well, let's go, then!" Yusuke said.
