Chapter whatever....lost track...anwho
Maria watched frightened as Sarasu charged Kurama, neither of them had unsheathed their weapons yet...it appeared that they would collide. Sleeker stood next to her, watching her and the fight at the same time. He could sense the fear in her...and, for some reason, he wanted to help her; though he knew he couldn't. Suddenly, in a flash, Kurama had drawn his rose whip and Sarasu had unsheathed his sword that he had had tied around his waist. The two weapons clinged and, if Kurama's rose whip were metal, sparks probably would have flown. The force of the impact sent the two flying back a few feet from each other.
"Kurama!!!!" Maria cried out. If she wasn't chained to the stupid thrown, she would have run right into the middle of the fight to stop it. Kurama and Sarasu appeared not to hear the cry, really they were consentrating on the other, trying to determine the next move his opponent would make. Sarasu sighed, the began to laugh...seemingly out of nowhere((A/N - DoubleAgent...does that mean it pops out of the shadow realm?)).
"What is so funny you leech?" Hiei hissed from where he was watching. He didn't like the fact that Kurama's opponent could laugh so easily in battle.
"Me...oh I don't know. It is just funny, the predicament that Kurama is in. If he wins, he gets to go, if he loses, he loses everything - even his life. Oh what a shame that would be, " Sarasu said with a hearty laugh. "Oh...and one more thing, he would lose Maria to me," he said and smirked. Sarasu started to charge again and Kurama readied his rose whip.

"Ms. Sutana, I don't know where she could be," the police man said. Maria's mother, Akio, Jade, and Kurama's mother were all standing in front of Maria's house. Ms. Sutana put her fingers to her temples and sighed deeply, Ms. Minamino doing the same.
"We are trying everything we can to find Maria and Suuichi, but nothing has turned up yet, we will notify you when we find a lead," the police man continued. Jade shook her head and stalked away from the group. She began to head down the sidewalk, Akio running after her.
"Akio...Jade...where are you going!?" Ms. Sutana cried out.
"To find Mari," Akio answered. The two women ran after them.
"Then we are coming too," they told Akio and jade in unison. The youth and child nodded their heads, the policeman was left behind.
~~~~~~
The rose whip connected with skin and Sarasu cried out. Kurama jumped back, as did his opponent. Raising an arm, Sarasu's brows furrowed with anger.
"You shouldn't have done that," he told Kurama and began to move towards Maria. When he got to her, he pulled the ends of the chain off from around the thrown, breaking the stone leg of it in the process. He yanked on the chains, and Maria stumbled forward.
"What are you doing?" she asked him as he yanked her onto the middle of the floor. All she got for a response was an evil grin.
"I am a demon, that means I have certain level of power. So if I..." he began. He lifted his hands in the air then pulled as if he was pulling on something. The chains that were around Maria's wrists stood straight up in the air, lifting her a foot off of the ground in front of Sarasu.
"Now...you have to get around her to get to me, oh and one more catch, I can move her anyway I want," he said and smacked her butt with a hand. He laughed as Maria tried to kick him, but failed.
"Kurama, you better do something!" Kuwabara called out but was jabbed in the side by Yusuke's elbow. Yusuke shook his head at his friend, trying to say, 'shut up, he knows that already.' Kuwabara got a clue and closed his mouth and turned his head back to watch.
Kurama stood, his face showed a scowl on it. THough he didn't say anything, he knew if he did he would just be distracted, something that he didn't want to do. He was working on a plan, and plan that would allow him to get to Sarasu without hurting Maria in the process.
From her place above the ground Maria called out, "Just hurt me, gosh darnit...and kill this guy!" She knew Kurama wouldn't do it, and truthfully, she was hoping he wouldn't. But she wanted him to know that if it came to that, he had her approval.
A/N - I hope you all like this Chappy!
