A cry rings out from one of the demon world's many woodlands, its owners life being added to the quickly growing list of demons who have attempted to test fate and attack two of the three remaining members of team Urameshi.
"Hiei, do you plan on killing every living thing we come across?" Kurama asked, as he looked over the fire demon's handiwork.
"Only if they test my patience." he replied. Kurama glanced at the small demon and shook his head, releasing a sigh of exasperation.
"Killing everything in sight won't fix matters with Yusuke. You do realize that, don't you Hiei?" the youko finally said after a few minutes of silence, as the duo made their way through the underbrush.
"Hn," was his only reply.
After a few minutes of more walking in silence, Kurama again tried to start a conversation with the fire demon. "So, what are you going to do if we go our separate ways, Hiei? Or, for that matter, after we get off probation?"
Again, Hiei didn't respond. So with a shrug, Kurama kept walking. And so it went, for what seemed to be hour, after hour of pointless searching for whoever it was they were looking for, neither of them saying anything the entire time.
"Kurama," Hiei said, causing the youko to jump, "Do you think we made a mistake, by not going with Yusuke?"
Kurama stood there for a moment, considering Hiei's words Finally, he spoke, though not the most reassuring words Hiei had heard, "In my opinion Hiei, I do not know. We can only learn that answer as we go."
"That isn't the answer I asked for, Kurama. Do you think we made a mistake? Yes or no." The fire demon replied, a threatening undertone in his voice.
"Yes, Hiei," Kurama said after a moment, "Yes, I do believe we've made an error in judgement. But our other option isn't that appealing."
Hiei nodded, and was about to say something when a blood curdling scream resonated through the wood. Simultaneously, both demons jerk and looked in the direction the scream came from, their weapons already in their hands.
"I believe we have just been given the final clue to getting done with this case." Kurama said.
"Shut up and move fox," Hiei snapped, instantly vanishing, the only sign of his passage being a slight breeze. Kurama quickly giving pursuit.
As silent as the fox he once was, Kurama came upon a clearing, the sent of death hanging over it. In the clearing he saw two demons standing over an unconscious human, and what appeared to be the split remains of one of their own. Neither of the two demons took note of Kurama's presence, as they were distracted by something farther in the clearing, just out of the youko's field of vision. 'Oh well,' Kurama thought as he removed a seed and a twig of bamboo he had keep as a memento of the neither world fiasco, 'Might as well take any luck I can.'
Hiei smirked as yet another one on his three attackers attempted to catch him by surprise, only to swipe at nothing but thin air. With a barbaric shriek, one of the demons attempted to 'cash in' on Hiei's 'mistake', seeing as how the fire demon had appeared with in it's striking distance. It only had a second to realize the trap it had fallen into as a sudden pressure appeared on its shoulders. The demon barely let out a peep, it was so stunned, as it felt the cold touch of metal slide down its spine, and into its heart. Risking a quick glance towards his charge, he noticed the human was slowly, but steadily, being drugged toward where Kurama hid, as two vines slid, unnoticed, under the two demons. The fire demon looked toward his remaining opponents, a feral smirk crossing his face.
At that moment, the human regained consciousness and let out a yelp as he realized he was being pulled toward something. The two demons guarding him immediately spun around and stared in shock as the human was pulled completely into the forest. Right as the two began to recover from their shock, they finally noticed the two vines under them. One of the two immediately leapt to the side, as the other cried out terror and pain as it was ran threw by the bamboo shafts that had suddenly erupted from the pair of vines. The remaining demon charged toward were Kurama now stood, standing between the fallen man and the charging demon. With a depressed sigh, he pulled a seed out of his hair, which instantly sprouted into a rose.
"Rose Whip!" He exclaimed, flicking the hand that held the rose, sending a log green thorny vine hurling through the air, to slice through the charging demons neck. Instantly, the demon fell to the ground, its head rolling to a stop by Kurama's feet. Kicking the head away, The Youko looked over to where Hiei was slicing his remaining opponent in half. Sighing, he turned back to the human who had fallen back into unconsciousness, Hiei seeming to blink into existence by his side.
"What are we to do with the human?" Hiei asked, sounding to be in a better mood than he had been a few minutes ago.
Kurama shrugged, "I guess we take him to Koenma. Let him deal with him."
"Hn." Hiei grunted in response, stepping over the man. Kurama just shook his head, before grabbing the man by the arms and dragging him after the fire demon.
The wise old spiritualist, Genkai, sighed as the security wards of her temple went off. After a few moments of waiting, she heard the familiar voice of Yusuke echoing from the stairway leading to the temple.
"Damn it! Why did that old hag have to put so many damn stairs leading up to her temple," he complained, before shouting, "Oi! Grandma, I'm here!"
Taking one last sip of tea, Genkai slowly stood up and opened the door to the court yard, glaring out at the heir to every thing she owned and was willing to teach.
"What do you want dimwit?" she asked, her irritation belying her calm expression.
"You haven't heard of anyone named Lord Voldemort, have you." Yusuke replied, standing before aging women, an expression of dead seriousness on his face.
Genkai raised an eye brow, her curiosity getting the best of her, "Why do you need to know, dimwit?" She asked as she walked back into the dining area of the temple and resumed drinking her tea. Yusuke sat down across from her, and just stared at her for a moment, before finally responding.
"Some guy attempted to kill Kuwabara, and tried to recruit Hiei into some sort of army. They claimed to work for some guy named Voldemort."
Genkai stared down at her now cold tea, pondering over Yusuke's words. "Did you asked Hiei what he managed to pry from their heads before he knocked them out?" She asked, a smirk tugging at the corners of her mouth, as she already new the answer. An almost inaudible moan from Yusuke, only confirmed her thought. "You should have gotten all your information together, before, you went to the annoying brat."
"Yeah, well, we thought that this just might be important enough, that Koenma would at least check it out, to see if it was true, instead of completely blowing it off, like it was no big deal!"
"Noone every said Koenma had a brain in that over inflated head of his," Genkai sighed, "Yes, sadly, I've heard of Voldemort. He's a psychotic wizard from England, who enjoys torturing muggles-"
"Um, excuse me," Yusuke interrupted, a look of confusion on his face, "But what the hell are you talking about! There are such thing as wizards, and what the hell are muggles!"
Genkai just shook her head, "I know a place in England where you can get more information on Voldemort. Come back in a week. Oh yes. I'll also need to borrow Puu."
"Uhh...Why?"
"None of your damn business! Now get out of here, and bring Fox, Idiot, and Sociopath with you."
"Fine," Yusuke grumbled, standing up, "See you in a week."
As he walked back down the stairs, a look of deep concern came over Genkai's face. 'Dimwit. You'd better not underestimate Voldemort, he's more dangerous then you relies.'
