Chapter 7: What is going on?

Solaris: They've tried tying me up and I got free of that, so here I am! Standard disclaimer: I don't own YYH + Foxglove doesn't own YYH = Us no own, you no sue. That said, on to the story!

Foxglove: SOLARIS!

Solaris: And my run! Byes! ^_^;

"Rose? What is she doing out here?" Kurama asked himself. She couldn't have a fox tail and ears; she was human, so far as anyone knew. He made up his mind to follow her as she walked away. Silently and swiftly he trailed her, her ears and tail making her easy to follow. Even so, she wasn't easy to keep up with. Suddenly, she stopped and turned around.

"There's no one there," he heard her whisper.

"Course there wouldn't be, you're in the tree." Kurama heard Hiei whisper from behind him. "I've been following her for a while now. When I saw you, I decided to let you follow ahead of me. Then you jumped in the tree."

"Well, one mystery solved. Any clue where she's going?" Kurama asked, relieved it was only Hiei. Hiei shrugged and they resumed following her again. She stopped at a nearby stream and sank to her knees. The sound of sobbing was audible even from the few feet's distance away.

"Why is this happening to me? I can't find her to exact my revenge! She killed me, I want my revenge!" the fox girl cried. Kurama moved to a better vantage point and saw the silvery tears streaming from her brilliantly brown eyes. He knew that this was indeed Rose, no other person he knew had brown eyes that brilliant. Suddenly, Youko Kurama spoke up. (A/n: For a while, this is going to be in script format. Okay? Good.)

Youko: Hey, I think I know her! Let me talk to her.

Kurama: You ought to know her; I know her. And why should I let you? Last girl you talked to ran off screaming "hentai! You hentai!" It took weeks to convince everyone that I am not a pervert.

Youko: No, I mean I know her. From when I was a thief. Let me talk to her.

Kurama: And repeat the "pervert" incident? No way!

Youko: Come on. I'll tell you about her when we get home. Please?

Kurama: Well, all right, but I'm only giving you one chance.

Youko: Thanks.

(A/n: Okay, enough script format.) Youko stepped out of the forest. The fox girl looked up, tears still falling. "What do you want, Youko?" she asked, a touch of venom in her voice.

"So you remember me, Thorne. Good." Youko smiled. Thorne got to her feet and slapped Youko hard.

"Of course I would! After you tried to steal those jewels that time, I think I can remember that! You and your little friend Kuronoe attempting to charm me and Lexi so you could get our jewels! Well, I'm wise to you now, and I go on instinct now, not feelings!" she shouted angrily.

"Too bad you can't say the same for Lexi, now, huh? She fell so in love with Kuronoe that she killed you after he died. She thought you had him killed. We all know better, right?" Youko taunted.

"If I could have I would have! But I haven't got links to mercenaries, baka!" she shouted furiously. "Then Lexi killed me and I had to wait to find a suitable body!"

"So? I found the one your mortal self likes. Which shows how kind fate is." he said, smiling. Thorne scowled.

"I don't have time for this! If you'll excuse me, I'm going to mourn how my life can't be normal!"

"No one's life is normal. Give up." Youko said. Thorne stormed off and Youko smiled. "My job is done."

Inwardly, Kurama sighed and reminded Youko of his promise. "All right, all right, I'll tell you. Now I'm transforming back and I'll tell you at home." Kurama changed back to his human self and nodded in satisfaction. He'd find out the truth without having to visit Koenma.

Solaris: I'm afraid for my life now. Foxglove has threatened to mortally injure me if I didn't get the second chapter of the Tokyo show on the air now, so I have to go. Please read and review!
