Chapter 28

After Koenma explained the story to the girls they were in a panic, how could Hoshiko do that to them? Take away the lives of the guys they loved so much.

Once again the girls, Kayko, Yukina, and Botan were left behind as the guys went on their next mission.

"Yusuke, you must bring back Hoshiko and stop Natsu before he gains access to that girl's powers. They are extremely powerful I am afraid that if Natsu succeeds, not even you will be strong enough to stop him." Koenma explain before the group departed to search for the kidnapped girl.

After a whole day of looking, they gave in for the day. Kurama was the one must distressed by the girl's sudden disappearance. That night he had a dream....

^^ Dream ^^

"Kurama? Kurama help me." Said an angelic voice.

"Who are you? Where are you?" Kurama asked

"If I tell you he will know. He will not stop. Kurama I don't want to hurt you anymore. Please forgive me."

"Forgive you? Show your self." He ordered

She stepped into the light. Kurama saw her clear as day. "Hoshiko." He let the name linger on his tongue. "Where are we?" Kurama asked, looking around at a world of black trees and grass. The sky was white but the clouds were also black.

"We are in the land between dreams." Hoshiko said. "I cannot stay long." She turned to leave but Kurama grabbed her wrist.

"Don't." he said, "What is it that you wish of me?" he asked as he took a step closer.

"Don't come near me." She warned and he took another step.

"Why? What is going on with you?" He asked, "tell me where to find you?" he was now before her and he reached out his hand to touch her face. Her teary eyes looked up at him with sorrow and sadness. She felt so real and he could feel her tremble at his touch. "Please?"

She ripped away from him. "I will show you. You must hurry, please Kurama." She said and Natsu's palace appeared behind Hoshiko. "There I have shown you. Kurama, it might be too late for me, but if you could apologize to everyone for me..." He saw a tear leave her eye so he wrapped his arms around her. "I don't..."

"Shh. I forgive you. And I will save you." He said

"I must go." She disappeared.

^^End dream^^

"I know where she is!" Kurama yelled.

After calling Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei, Kurama and the others made their way to his room. (Sorry there are no fight scenes cuz I want to save it all for the last dude, but there will be booby traps)

Well I think the next chappy will be the last unless you would not mind me writing another one. Will Kurama and the others make it to Hoshiko in time? Will they need a woman's touch? Hint Hint.
