Hey, all. I am back! Thanks to all of my reviewers. You have been the great thing that has kept this fic alive, even though Karasu won't quit bombing it. I don't own YYH. All I own is Kara and Kichi. I may even bring back an old oc. You will just have to find out.

The Hunt for Kara

Kara woke up the next morning hungry. She hadn't eaten anything since breakfast yesterday. She also had a massive headache, probably the aftereffect of her not so happy experience with the tree. She hoped the boys were alright. She knew that they had been blasted, but she didn't know the fate that had befallen her brother and partner. She sat up and got out of bed. She went over to her bag to get one of her fighting tunics. She chose one. The pants and undershirt were white and the tunic was a deep purple with a navy blue sash. She put on her fighter style shoes (like the ones Kurama wears) and left the hut. Kichi was standing just outside the door, "Good morning, Kara. Did you sleep well?"

"Yes, but I have one question."

"What's that?"

"Why haven't you killed me yet?"

"Let's just say that I have other plans for you. Don't worry your pretty little face about it." Kichi walked away. His servant brought her a plate of rice cakes. She ate them gratefully, though she had no sympathy towards her captors. It was going to be a long haul for her. She had to keep herself alive as long as possible. She knew that Kurama would never leave until he found her. She needed a way to find him. Wait, she could use her plants! She could use her Butterfly Plant (whatever it's called) to fly around the treetops until she found him. All she needed to do now was to convince Kichi that she needed to go. She approached his hut, "Kichi, are you in here?"

"Yes."

"I have a question."

"Yes?"

"May I go get some fresh air?"

"You can get fresh air right there." This was not going as she planned, "I have a plant seed that has not been used for a while. It wants out." Kichi looked up, "Fine, but one of my servants will keep an eye on you." Great, now she could lure the demon to Kurama so he could find her. The demon that was to accompany her arrived. She grabbed the seed she was going to use and said, "You will have to watch me from the ground. I will be flying." The demon nodded. Kara grew her seed. Two vines grew to wrap around her to hold the "wings" on. Then, four leaves grew out to form those wings. She took to the air, hoping to find Kurama.

WITH THE BOYS-

Kurama and Kuronue had been awake for several hours trying to formulate a plan. Kurama's com buzzed, signaling that Koenma needed something, "Yes, Koenma- sama?"

"Kurama, Kichi's camp is not too far east of you. Kara is there. Get her and take the potions." Kurama nodded, "Yes." He put the com away and told Kuronue what was going on, "Okay, Koenma says that Kara is in a camp just east of here. We have to get her and fight Kichi. Ready your potion." Just then, a demon walked into their encampment looking at the sky. When he noticed that what he was looking at stopped and smiled, he looked down. He was staring right into the eyes of none other than Kurama.

"Who are you?" asked Kurama.

"I am Jaque, servant to- wait, who are you?" He didn't wait for an answer. Instead, he looked up and yelled, "YOU BLASTED KITSUNE! HE'S GOING TO GET YOU FOR THIS!"

Kurama looked up. Hovering just above the treetops was Kara. She landed softly right next to her brother. Her plant shrank back into a seed and she drew her rose whip, "Now, take us to Kichi's camp. If you try to lead us wrong, you'll be dead before you hit the ground." Jaque turned and began walking east. Kurama tossed Kara her potion, "Here, Koenma told us to take this as soon as we found you."

"We can go to my hut and do it. We have to get there undetected. I'll illusion you, okay?" Kurama nodded.

As they neared the camp, Kara took a seed out of her pocket. She grew it quickly and took off the leaves. She crushed them and handed them to the two boys. Kuronue knew what to do. He had seen it many times before. Both boys swallowed the powder. Now, to anyone but themselves and Kara, there were no people standing there. All they would see was Jaque being followed by an innocent Kara. If he said anything, she would make sure that he died slowly. They couldn't afford to be caught now. Jaque left and Kara led the boys to her hut. The illusion spell wore off. Each took their potions. After the mist settled, Kara led her partners to Kichi's hut.

IN KOENMA'S OFFICE-

The rest of the Tantei had been watching the mission. They had been joined by Shiori, Shizuru, Kieko, Botan and Yukina. They all had their share of screams, except Hiei, who was calm as usual. Shiori had yelled in worry when Kichi had blasted them with his telekinesis. Now, she was watched three demons make their way to a large cabin. It looked to be Kichi's. They snuck into the hut, causing everyone watching to loose sight.

"Koenma- sama, what is going on? Where's my son?" asked Shiori.

"Well, your son is currently not a part of this mission. This is the real Kurama," came Koenma's reply. Shiori nodded.

WITH THE MISSION-

Being the sneaky thieves they were, Kara, Kurama and Kuronue stealthily made their way into Kichi's hut undetected. Just as they snuck up on him, they felt a sudden power surge. They flew backwards, through the wall. All three of them landed on the ground with a thud. The wind picked up, rustling hair and tails, but the two kitsunes and the bat were not moving.

"I should have know you would pull a stunt like that, Kara. You took advantage of my hospitality. Now, you will have to suffer the consequences," said Kichi. Kara didn't respond. Kichi heard a groan as he gave the order to take them away. He turned around and saw Kuronue struggling to get up, "No, she won't. You will- let her- go!" He threw his scythe, hitting the three demons ment to take them away. He ran off into the night, vowing to save his partners.
