A Raven and A Siren Chapter 3: Tantei, Youkai and Royalty's Tale

(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)( *)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)

Lorraine quickly found herself inside of Makai.

She went to the place she had left Kuronue, hoping that he would still be there.

But he wasn't.

It was getting dark; the coldness in Makai grew every second she searched for the youkai's ki. She was getting tired; the cold was so intense, her legs couldn't run as fast as they should be running. She thought that she needed a rest, but Lorraine knew she must find Kuronue first. If she could manage to find his ki, she would definitely find Yoko.

The siren felt a strong ki in the innermost part in a dark forest. She slowed her pace; trying not to let the youkai, or whatever it was, hear her presence.

A cold voice, colder than the current climate she was feeling, got her by surprise: "Trying not to be found siren?"

Lorraine turned around to see who was talking to her. She saw a rather large, white fox that transformed into a handsome, 7-feet-tall youkai. His shining, amber eyes looked calm, non-stressed and emotionless to her face. That way she could have no idea of what he was thinking. His silvery hair was very long, the complete opposite of her ebony-dark and short one.

"Yoko Kurama?" Lorraine asked, trying to sound confident and not scared nor intimidated.

The youkai just nodded in reply, and asks: "Who wants to know?"

"I am Lorraine, Reikai's Tantei"

"What is your mission, then?"

"I was sent to look for both you and Kuronue" Lorraine stated, praying that Kuronue was with him.

Soon her prayers were answered. A male raven closed his large wings to walk towards the siren.

"Miss me already?" Kuronue mocked her, as always.

Lorraine just chuckled and said: "Hi Kuronue"

"I see you have already met my partner, Kurama" Kuronue noticed Kurama's lost expression and explained: "We met yesterday, while she was trying to arrest me" He turned to Lorraine and said: "What did Koenma say?"

"He didn't ask me and I didn't tell him. We have graver matters that require more attention than that one. Matters that also require your help"

"How come?" Kuronue asked her

"Come with me to Reikai and Koenma will tell you"

"How do we know it isn't a trap?" Kurama asked, "How do we know we won't get arrested?"

"You'll have to trust me on this one" Lorraine assured him.

They went back to Reikai where Koenma greeted them with a serious expression. For the first time Koenma looked like a worthy prince of the spirit realm.

Hiei was already there. Lorraine guessed that Botan was still looking for Mukuro. Hiei sat in the dark corner of a window, gazing at the full moon, when they heard someone knock on the door. It was Botan. She entered the office with Mukuro behind her.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Hiei asked Mukuro. She closed her blue eyes and replied calmly, "I was required to come"

Koenma explained everything to them and surprisingly they all agreed to help. Maybe it was because Hiei, Yoko and Kuronue's criminal path would be erased and Mukuro would have a new army to fight against Yomi's if they agreed.

Lorraine was surprised when Koenma informed her that she must go with them, but she also agreed.

They went out of Koenma's office and into Makai once more. It was very late in the night, so they made a fire in a nearby forest.
