Hey people, chapter two, and I'm still asking about Kuronue's weapon!!!
What's it called, my friend thinks it begins with an "n" but we're not
sure...Its like the thing Kohaku uses from Inuyasha...The scythe thing on the
chain where you throw it and the blade spins through the air, ripping
through the victim and then when you tug on the chain it comes back??? Any
help? Please, I'm begging you...help me by reviewing and telling me what its
called!!!

He was dressed completely in black and had black bat wings coming from his back...He stood there swinging a pendant back and forth to what seemed as an invisible rhythm.
Kurama staggered backwards and bumped into some of his guests, knocking them to the ground. They stood up and looked towards the door for the first time.
"It's a demon!" One of them yelled. Everyone else looked up from what they were doing and stared at the figure at the door.
Botan had finally caught up to Kurama and grabbed his arm again. She looked at his eyes and saw a look of pure confusion. "Kurama, w-what's wrong?" She turned her attention to the figure who just stood there swinging a pendant back and forth. His black hat shielded his eyes and he seemed to be looking for someone.
"It c-can't be, it just can't be. He's dead, I saw him die, it can't be him." He just kept saying the same thing over and over again.
The figure walked into the house and gave everyone a monstrous death glare, which caused them to get out of the house, whether it meant running out the front and back doors, or jumping through the windows. "Where's Yoko?" The figure demanded.
Just then, Kuwabara came up from the basement to see what everyone was yelling about and saw the demon standing just inside the house. "Whoa! What's that?" He shrieked, jumping back.
The demon looked up at Kuwabara and began to walk towards him. "You have a death wish?" He asked in a deep voice.
"W-what do you want? I've got a sword, I'm warning you!" Kuwabara cautioned.
"Oh shut up you fool, your sword could do nothing against him." Hiei sneered, coming into the house. "Can't you see he's a high-class demon who could kill you whenever he wanted to?"
Kurama, coming to his senses, got up and walked between the two. "K- Kuronue, stop it, he doesn't know who he's dealing with."
"Kuronu-who?" Yusuke asked, walking up behind them.
"Yes, how do you know my name?" Kuronue asked.
"I-its hard to explain." Still a little shaken up. "I um..." Kurama began.
"I have no time for your ningen games, either tell me where Yoko Kurama is and how you know my name, or get out of my sight." Kuronue sneered. "But you two," He said, pointing to Botan and Hiei, "You are not ningens, why do you waste your time with these lowlifes?"
"Hn." Was Hiei's only response.
While Botan just sat there staring. "Kurama, w-what's wrong?" Botan asked again, still hugging his arm.
Kuwabara and Yusuke were still standing there clueless and Hiei stood in the corner only pretending to be uninterested. Keiko and Yukina slowly came up and stood behind Yusuke and Kuwabara. "Yeah Kurama, what's wrong?" Kuwabara asked.
"You're Kurama?!" Kuronue spat at them, "You think you can fool me with this pathetic imposter?" He took a step forward making everyone take a step back.
Kurama removed Botan's arms from his and took a step forward. "Leave them out of this, this is between you and me."
"Ok, I'll agree that your energy doesn't quite seem human, but there's no way you can be my old partner Yoko Kurama. Yoko was a strong and ruthless demon, you're just a human with a few special powers." Kuronue remarked. "I bet you couldn't tell me the first thing about Yoko."
"Sure I can." Kurama stated. "You and I were partners and on your last robbery, you and I went to the demon palace and as you were escaping, your pendant broke and you ran back to retrieve it. You triggered a trap and the bamboo shoots came down supposedly killing you. Your last words to me were, "Run Kurama!" and I ran." Kurama paused. "I felt terrible as I ran that day. And that's not all I can tell you. I was and still am a kitsune, who loves to crack codes and thievery. You were my best friend, I knew everything about you. You never attack from the rear and you would never just throw your pendant away. That pendant means everything to you."
"Yes, that's all very touching, but I'm still not convinced. You see, it seems as if you hang around with demons. All you would have to do is talk to one of them, and they would tell you everything they knew about me. No, you'll have to prove it to my by showing me." Kuronue explained.
"Hey buddy, why can't you just accept the fact that this is Kurama?!" Yusuke yelled. He stepped forward and pointed his finger at the bat demon. "Either you believe him, or I'll blow your head off."
Kuronue took another step forward, not at all phased by Yusuke's threat. He grabbed Yusuke's arm and twisted it back. Yusuke yelled out in agony while Kuronue wore a smirk on his face.
"Kuronue, that's enough. Now you still haven't given us the full reason you're here." Kurama said, stepping in and taking a hold of Kuronue's arm. Kuronue released Yusuke's arm and turned towards Kurama once again. Yusuke backed up rubbing his arm.
"Why I ought to..." He began.
"Stop it Yusuke." Kurama interrupted, not taking his eyes off of Kuronue. "Answer my question, why are you here?"
"I'm running from Spirit world. I broke in to the vault a week ago and now I'm on the run. I believed that if I found Yoko, he would be able to help me and we could go back to old times." Kuronue explained.
"Um, it's a good thing Koenma passed out a couple minutes ago from yelling at me in the kitchen." Yusuke said nervously.
Hinageshi ran in to the living room from the kitchen. She looked at everyone as if she had some important news to tell, until she saw Kuronue. She stood there speechless. "W-who are you?" She said after a minute.
Kuronue took off his hat and kissed her hand. She began to blush and backed up.
"And this is Hinageshi, a ferry girl from Spirit world." Kurama introduced.
Everyone but Hinageshi looked at the bat demon with nervous eyes. Suddenly Botan piped up. "Wait, I remember hearing about that. You're the one who stole Koenma's favorite scepter."
"Yes, I remember hearing about that too!" Hinageshi exclaimed. "That was you!?"
"Now Botan, lets not get to involved in your work..." Kurama said, "Remember, he's a friend of mine, remember, I used to steal from Spirit world too, but you still love me, let it go..."
Kuronue looked at them and then back at Kurama. "So, Yoko, if that is you, who are these friends of yours?"
"Um, well, this is Botan, also known as Death, that's Kuwabara, his IQ is about 3, oh and that's Hiei, he's the only other demon in the group." Kurama started, "And that's Keiko and Yukina, Yukina is going out with Kuwabara and Keiko is going out with Yusuke who happens to be Spirit world's most recent Sprit Detective. And just to inform you, Koenma, King Enma's son is passed out in the kitchen, so I'd advise you to keep your voice down."
"Koenma?" Kuronue started to become a bit nervous.
"Yes, but if you keep a low profile, we can hide you from him for as long as possible." Kurama offered.
"But how do I know I can trust you?" He asked.
"I'll show you, that I have been telling the truth this whole time." He put his hand behind his ear and pulled out a rose.
"Yes, a rose, Yoko's favorite attack, but this proves nothing." Kuronue laughed.
"Rose Whip!" Kurama yelled out and the beautiful rose began to glow and became a long prickly whip.
Kuronue stood there speechless staring at Kurama. "W-what happened to you?"
"It's a long story that will have to wait until later, we have to get Koenma out of here before he wakes up. Botan, Hinageshi, go take Koenma back to Spirit world and tell him nothing of Kuronue." Kurama ordered.
"R-right." They said their goodbyes and went into the kitchen to get Koenma.
"There's been something I've been meaning to ask you." Kurama stated. "How did you know to come here?"
"Oh, right. I just went to where I felt the most spirit energy. This was the third place I checked." He looked at Hiei, "The energy must have been coming from him."
"Hn. I'm bored. I'll be leaving now." Was his response. Hiei got up and left the room. He went down into the basement looking for a place that was quiet. As he walked down the steps, he heard the sound of clinking bottles and the room was filled with smoke. He noticed two teens sitting in the corner laughing their heads off holding a bottle of beer. One of them had a lit cigarette in his hand, the source of all the smoke. Hiei walked into the room and up to the two. "My, my. What have we here?"
The two boys looked at him and smirked, "What are you gonna do shorty?"
Hiei looked at them with a wicked smile on his face. "I believe you two will take away my boredom." He walked up to one of them and picked up the cigarette. "Smoking is bad for you, you know..." He stuffed the lit cigarette in the boy's mouth and watched him spit it out in pain.
The other boy sat there with his mouth wide open. "Just w-who do you think you are?"
Hiei got down into the boy's face and smirked, "Someone you don't want to make mad. And you my friend have done just that. My name's not Shorty." He grabbed the beer bottle out of his hand and smashed it down onto the boy's head. "Drinking's bad for you too!" Despite what he had just said, he bent down and swiped his finger over a small puddle of the liquid on the floor and licked it. "Hn. There, you see, I'm not bored anymore."
The two boys got up and ran up the steps into the living room, saw Kuronue and ran out of the house screaming.
Kurama and Kuronue looked up at the two boys, one had a big burn mark next to his mouth and the other had blood coming down his forehead as they ran out the door.
"Now, I'm curious to know, what happened to you? Why do you look like this?" Kuronue asked, as if nothing had just happened.
"Ah yes." Kurama started. They all went over to the center of the room and sat down, leaving the door lying on the ground. "It all started fifteen years ago. I was trying to escape from one of my burglaries, all was going fine, I had the pallets with me and I was about to receive a great deal of money. But as I was leaving, I was wounded by a spirit hunter. He chased me for hours until I realized I was to weak to heal myself and I took refuge in the human world in the body of a soulless, unborn baby. From that moment on, I've been stuck in this body and have had to watch this body grow up for the past fifteen years. So yes, I am confined to this body, however, I am able to transform into Yoko at choice times."
Kuronue sat there speechless. "You're stuck?" He couldn't believe what he had just heard. "But you're still you right?" He was beginning to become a bit uncomfortable.
"Yes Kuronue, I'm still me, I didn't loose my mind when I took on this body." Kurama laughed. "No, I'm completely sane."
"And you can still use your powers, that's good." Kuronue stated. "But I don't know, this is going to take a while to get used to." He got up and began to pace back and forth. "I mean, its like its not you anymore. You're different, you've changed, I can sense it."
"Yes I am different, I'm not as cold-hearted, but with my new priorities, I'm just as strong." Kurama said, hoping to convince the bat demon.
"Yes, now I can sense your power, you aren't as strong as you were when you were Yoko, but I can tell you still have high spirit energy. I'm sure I can get used to the new you, but it will take some time." Kuronue said.
"I don't blame you, when I first met Kurama, I had to have some time to get used to him." Keiko said.
"You? You didn't even know he was a demon when you first saw him!" Yusuke said, pointing at her.
"That's the thing, I had to get used to him being a demon!" She shot back.
"Fine, fine, you both had to have time to get used to me." Kurama said, waving his hands. "Now how about we get things cleaned up, its almost 2:30am. We also need to figure out what to do with Kuronue. He can't go walking around here with his bat wings, people will get suspicious."
