Sneer.

*swish*

*splatter*

"AAAAAGGhhh. . ."

Hiei wiped his red-stained sword, sheathed it, and tossed a fifth corpse over the edge of the rocky, moss covered cliff.

The first had tried to kill him.

The next two; rob him of his katana.

The fourth had obscenely cursed, which – of course- deserved punishment.

The last had fled, leaving his comrades' bodies behind.

Coward.

Oh, well. He was dead now.

The koorime idly watched the deceased bandits drift down the foaming river, and set off once again at a mild pace, all three eyes scanning the horizon. The visible two watched for living beings; the hidden Jagan through the unsuspecting being's mind for useful information.

It was going to be a long, irritatingly boring day in Makai.

# Blood's Inn #

Youko Kurama and Suiichi Minamino had come to an agreement. The kitsune could take charge, as long as he took care to listen to the advice given to him by his ningen half. And in place of his "normal" white garments, the kitsune youkai had donned a less vain outfit.

A simple black cloak concealed all but his feet, which he chose to keep bare and unhindered. A combination of Trisap (A/N: I made that up! ^_^) and ground rosewood had darkened his silver-white complexion and hair to a duller gray, though it would wash off in cold water. The only attribute he had not been able to alter was his height, which was, by demon standard, only medium. His build was unchangeable, as well as a few other traits.

Nonetheless, to most he was recognized merely as a shabbily dressed, but handsome demon. Few would even think to compare him to the great thief of the past.

He strode into the dank inn, placed himself upon a worn stool, and some money upon the counter.

"What would ye like?"

"Sake. . ."

Unfortunately, Youko was still very fond of certain drinks.

# Somewhere in Makai #

"Urameshi, where the hell are we?"

"Err. . ."

"Nani!?!? Yusuke! Have you gotten us lost?"

"No! . . . at least I hope not. . ."

"You moron. Botan, you have your little oar. Go do your thing," Shizuru ordered. The cheerful deity nodded and flew off into the wispy clouds above.

"There's a little stream up ahead," she called from her hovering perch, " only about a quarter of a mile away! There's a cottage, too! Follow me!" Botan soared away, the hem of her pink kimono flapping.

------------------------------------------

# Stretchy cell! #

"No. . .no. . .no . . .nooo. . . . . . . . . . . . ."

"What is it? Have you found something?"

Kuronue stared at a small spot on the wall in front of him. "No. but I've definitely seen that little white speck before." Touya sweatdropped.

"I think you're getting bored. Maybe you should come look over here," he indicated an area a few feet away.

"Nope. Already looked there."

"What was we lookin fer again?"

"A crack in the wall. Really thin."

". . .I saw something like that a while ago!"

"How long ago?"

"An hour or so."

"Jin,"

"Aye?"

"I'm going to kill you."

# little cottage place #

Botan leapt lightly off her oar and turned to face the rest of the slightly panting crew. "Ta-da! Isn't it pretty? I wonder who built it," she exclaimed. The neat thatched roof shone in the sunlight, and its open shutters revealed small, but nicely decorated rooms.

Her orange-haired friend glanced around nervously. "I don't know about that, Botan. . .I got that creepy feelin that someone's here. . "

"My, my, isn't he smart." A sarcastic voice purred. "I'm surprised you didn't notice sooner!" a pale, slender fox lounging on a boulder stood, stretched and trotted towards them. Kuwabara stared. And screamed.

"AAAAAHHHHH!!! IT'S A POSSESED TALKING FOX!"

"Shaddap, ya moron," Yusuke told him, "it's just a spirit fox, like Kurama."

The kitsune's eyes widened. She glowed for a moment, and somewhat disturbing changes began. The whiskered snout shrunk into a face, and the light fur covering her body fell away, revealing a plain, white, silk kimono instead. After finishing her morph into her demonic form, which was that of a beautiful young fox demon, she turned and gazed at them pleadingly with large golden eyes.

"Kurama. . .? You know my brother?"
