Waking the Fallen

Chapter 5: spirited away

Ryu sat in a tree, somewhere off-campus. She had sent Kurama back to his dorm, telling him she needed time to think. And think she did. Until a hand clamped over her mouth. Ryu clawed viciously against the hand and struggled, but it was no use. Someone had painted the world a lovely shade of black.
"Heh. What a pretty little kitsune. She fits the description perfectly. This has to be the right one."

Kurama was getting worried now. Ryu hadn't come back yet. After a couple of more hours of pacing an indent into the dorm carpet, he sighed and went into Yoko-mode. Kurama picked up her spirit energy immediately, ran outside and jumped from tree to tree. At one particular branch, he stopped suddenly. The ankle cuff that she always wore was hanging off a little twig. Kurama felt his heart stop, and then freeze over as he detected the spirit energy residue of someone else. This time, he took off faster than he had ever gone before. 'Please, Ryu. Stay alive until I get there.'

authors note
that was really short. but its quality, not quantity, right? if you don't like it, well, boo frickety hoo. if anyone cares to update, feel free. you don't have to. I wont freak out and refuse to write if you don't. I'm writing for me, not for you. Having an audience is just a perk. Flamers will have their heads bitten off, tho. I mean, come on. Get a life. It's just a story. Kami. shakes head and walks away
