Sorry it took me long to up date!!! SORRY!!! Well I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho. I own my characters though. (

Chapter 7: Flicker of an Alliance

Yusuke was with Boton and Kurama at this moment, they weren't far from where Hiei and Sybell was. Soon, they found each other.

"Sorry guys. I just needed some time to think." Said Sybell. "We were just relieved to find you!" Said Boton.

Kurama had a smile played on his face. 'Best to keep it on.' He thought. But it faded as he remembered someone. "Where's Kuwabara?"

Yusuke scratched his head and said, "Yeah, the guy has been gone a long time." "We should look for him." Suggested Sybell.

"All right. Hiei, Boton and I will look around the East are of the woods while you 2 check the West." Said Yusuke. They all nodded and went their separate ways.

Meanwhile...

Genki and Koenma were making their own pace in the forest. "Where do you think they went?" Asked Koenma.

"Knowing that lazy student of mine, he's probably lost in the forest somewhere.Lost." Said Genkai. Koenma thought on this. "Your probably right...."

YET AGAIN MEANWHILE....

Ein was standing on top of a high cliff over looking it all. "What do you think?" Asked a voice from behind him.

He turned to see Luda standing in the shadows behind him. "I think hirering assasins isn't the way to get rid of someone."

"It works for me." Says Luda. She shrugged and came to stand beside him. "Anyway I just have to stand here and look pretty." She said.

Ein looked at her and narrowed his eyes. Luda stroked a blue hair from her eyes. Instead of her black kimono, she wore a purple one with a gold bow.

"Just so you know, I have connections and I can get rid of you any time, any where." Said Luda.

"And I can do the same to you Luda, in the blink of any eye." And after saying those words, Ein disappeared in a puff of black smoke.

WITH KURAMA AND SYBELL...

They walked down a used trail. Both were quiet as time passed.

Suddenly, Kurama stopped and knelt to the ground.

Sybell had gotten a bit a head of him before she stopped. "What is it?" She asked Kurama.

"Someone's been here." He answered. "How do you know?" Sybell asked.

"Look," He said pointing to a path of snapped twigs. "these broken twigs and trampled brushes show he went this way." Kurama watched where the path led.

The two followed the path.

YARU AND MARU

Maru sat in a cave watching Yusuke's group through a cloud. Sighing she placed her head in her hands. Her yellow kimono was a bit wrinkled but she didn't care.

A smile was on her face as she watched a certain demon. He was her height and very quiet and strong. ((killafella: HEE HEE! Hiei:..... Killafella: He's giving me the death glare!))

Little did he know who was watching her.

Suddenly, Yaru appeared at her side. She wore a crimson red ninja suit. Yaru dropped Kuwabara down and formed a bendable beam in her hands.

"What are you doing?" She asked. Maru looked surprised and then said, "Watching our next victim."

But sadness swept over her at the prospect of killing the one she cared for.
