"Hiei! You're the only one that can help me save Keiko! Are you in?" Yusuke asked in quite a hurry. Hiei glared and turned away.
"I'll think about it," He rudely replied with an evil smirk going across his face. Yusuke pulled at the chains until they finally snapped.
"Finally, Hiei you have to help me. I've known Keiko ever since I was a child. I can't loose her now. It would bring too much pain." Yusuke sighed and looked to the ground. You could practically see the sadness in his eyes.
"Why should I help you, detective? What have you done for me?" The assassin asked in a matter a curiosity.
"Well, I have rescued your little sister many of times. Is there much more I could do? I don't have much time to spare!" Yusuke yelled.
"Fine, I'm in. Detective." Hiei replied as he smiled gently at the spirit detective, Yusuke. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kurama's Whereabouts ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A sudden flash appeared just before the Rekai prince and Keiko. The girl stepped back as Koenma called in Botan.
"So...this is Keiko? What a boring creature. How could my Yusuke like such a hideous thing!?" Kurama said first thing he showed up. "Now I will have to kill you all!" He finished with a smirk and a bloodthirsty look in his eyes. "Boring!? I'm so not boring! Yusuke isn't yours because he's my boyfriend! I've been with him for as long as I can remember!" Keiko yelled back at the youko as her hair swayed and bounced up and down. "Tisk, tisk. You know not to speak to me like that." The youko grinned as the Rekai prince grasped her hand.
"C'mon, Keiko. Let's run!" The said with a sprint for Spirit World's gates. Keiko's eyes flashed with anger. Why was she always being saved by, by someone!?
"Excuse me? Why are we running you know Yusuke will come and take him on." She yelled at Koenma.
"And something gives me the feeling Kurama has Yusuke. I don't know why by I can just feel it." The prince said frowning.
"And he's right," Kurama smiled appearing in-front the two in a blink of their eyes. They both stepped backward and headed for the Nigen Kai. "You know...I am getting tired of being the cat chasing the mice. Let's change the game to Capture the Mice. Here's how the game is played. I will give you two seconds to get as far away as you can from me, but if I don't think it's far enough you both will be locked in my dungeon or cell until I decide to kill you. Oh and Koenma if you get caught not only will I do that but I'll take over Spirit World." The youko said in a death ringing tone.
"Deal! One thing though...How will you be able to take over Spirit World with my father around?" Koenma asked awkwardly.
"I have my ways." Kurama replied.
"Two seconds!? That isn't enough!" Keiko yelled in the back round.
"One," Kurama started as Koenma and Keiko dashed a short distance. "Two. You both loose." Kurama muttered.
"What? That wasn't fair! You counted too fast!" Keiko shouted. The youko glared for a moment.
"I know what I'll do with you." He snickered and began to laugh like a mad and evil scientist. The youko pulled a seed from his hair and shot it directly into the girls heart. "That was my death plant. You won't be able to move soon and then after five minutes you will die." He laughed once more.
"Kurama, please reconsider!" Koenma pleaded desperately. The youko frowned and glared once more.
"No. That is my final answer. I will not change what ever is done. She'll die so I can keep Yusuke to myself." Kurama smiled.
"Kurama, Yusuke would be-" Koenma cut himself off to see the girl fall to her knees. He knew it was her last few minutes before dying. She soon dropped down flat and her heart stop beating. "W-would be heart broken. KURAMA! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?" Koenma screamed in shock.
"I did what had to be done. I didn't like her much anyways. She was a disgrace even for humans." He replied in a cheerful mood.
Koenma looked to the ground and handed the youko the key to the Spirit World. Suddenly two bright lights appeared in-front of the prince and youko.
"It can't be...Hiei and Yusuke. I thought locked you two up for good?" Kurama questioned in amazement.
"Keiko!!!!" Yusuke yelled running to her side and picking up her hand to see if there was still a pulse.
"She's already dead. She was in my way anyways. Like I said I did what had to be done." Kurama took in a deep breath and looked at the assassin.
"Hn. We didn't need her anyways. Right detective? Detective?" Hiei turned to see a tear trickle down the spirit detectives cheek.
"I c-can't let him get away with it!" He screamed as he swung a punch that almost landed on him.
"Aw...Yusuke's is being bad. If you don't stop you'll end up like your X!" The youko snickered.
"I'd rather be dead with her than be with a creep like you!" Yusuke replied. ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^* ^*A/N: Finished chapter three! I'll put chapter four up when I get 30 reviews!
