At this moment Kurama would do almost anything for his old body back. Selenay leaned back a bit, moving out of his arms, and looked into his eyes. Kurama put a hand on her cheek, feeling its smoothness.
"Who did that to you? Who bound you to the tree, Selenay? I'm sure they will still come after you. Maybe I can help you." Kurama queried gently, never tearing his gaze from her eyes.
She placed her slender hand over his hand, "I was being careless and let down my guard. There were five figures that over-powered me in my sleep. 'You stole from the wrong people,' they scolded me, but in truth I had been busy looking for you, that I had quit stealing." She looked away from him, and Kurama couldn't help to feel a tinge of guilt, "The figures were tall and wore black garments that covered every inch of their body, except for their cold eyes. Binding me to the tree, they fed me only enough food and water so that I beg for more. They told me they were human bounty hunters, but their scent was of demon blood. I'm sure of it." She stood up and held the bed sheet on herself with one hand. She walked to the window and sighed, "Now that I have found you, I don't know what to do."
Kurama eyes were warm as he looked at her. "I have some friends who may be willing to help and investigate." He offered going over to her and placing his hands on her shoulders.
"I would be grateful." she replied kindly turning to him. Her arms wrapped his neck and she rested her head against his chest.
His arms wrapped around her and he looked out the window seeing the moon about to set, "I must go, but you can stay here. I'll be back later today." He assured her, before reluctantly letting her go. She took a step back, and looked at him for a moment, "If you must."

Kurama had a hard time listening in class. He watched the teacher as she wrote something on the board. He subconciously copied what the teacher wrote. He would study it when his mind was clear from the cluster of thoughts.
Finally the last bell rang, and everyone filed out of the school. He began to walk out when Botan grabbed his arm, "There you are! We're having a meeting! Hurry now!"
Soon he was in Koenma's office. Yusuke and Kuwabara argued at each other and Hiei was only making matters worse for Kuwabara's temper. Koenma cleared his throat trying to get everyone's attention and trying not to loose his own temper. Kurama attepted to stop the fighting by asking, "Koenma, what have you called us here for today?"
"Yeah pacifier-breath. What do you want us to do now?" Yusuke said, turning away from Kuwabara in mid-arguement.
Koenma sighed, "Yeah I was about to get to that. There has been humans that consider themselves 'bounty hunters'. They hunt down innocent demons and torture them to the brink of death. This, of course, is strange, because usually demons are torturing humans. They have been spotted in dark garments, and armed."
Kurama realized that this must of been the figures who attacked Selenay, "Koenma I beleive these humans are truly demons."
"Really? Why is that, Kurama?" Koenma asked sitting back in his chair.
"Yes Kurama, why do you think these humans are demons in disguised?" Hiei queried.
"I've met one of their victims. She explained to me what they looked like and their scent of demon blood. If you don't mind, I'd like to investigate this situation that involves her. Protect her, if possible." Kurama explained.
Koenma nodded, "Fine Kurama. You'll be assigned to protecting her, while the others seek out these 'bounty hunters.' next target."
--------
Kurama entered the small cabin, which was no longer abandoned. In a corner, Selenay sat in a wooden chair, petting a small fox. The fire in the fireplace, made her eyes and hair glow with an eerie beauty. It had seemed she had washed her dress and put it on. She looked up at him, "Kurama your back. Are they investigating?"
Kurama nodded, "Yes. It was coincidence that it was Koenma's next mission."
Selenay's eyes widened, "Koenma? You mean your friends are spirit detectives?"
"Precisely. I'm a detective as well." He answered her meeting her gaze.
"Why aren't you with them investigating?" She asked a little stunned. The way she asked the question wasn't in a rude manner, but in a confused manner.
"I'm going to protect and investigate around you."
