Chapter 4 is here! I have found time between HW and flute practice and decorating for x-mas to bring you another glorious installment!

Will you stop waxing eloquent?!

I am not waxing elephant! I did that Friday.

Whatever. Get on with it!!

Boy, someone woke up on the wrong side of the rafter today. Is he always this irritable this early in the morning?

(Raven) ::glances at clock it says 1:51 pm:: Umm…it's not morning.

Oh well!

"Dang! This place is huge! How in heck are we supposed to find Kurama in this place?" mutters Yusuke. Quietly and carefully! This place is a rat's nest of minor demons. Individually, they're pushovers in large groups they're pests and trouble. As the group absorbed this information, Raven took a head count. "…3, 4, 5. This is everyone? Good. Now let's get moving we won't find him standing around, now will we?" Raven stated in a matter-of-fact tone.

meanwhile

"Well, well, well, you're finally awake. Right now you are of use alive vice dead. Now that I think about it, it's safer to have you alive rather than have you report to Koenma as a spirit." Murmured Kurama's captor. "Who…who are…you?" Kurama gasped, still in great pain from his wounds. "The next ruler of the three worlds!" the mysterious figure answered. (A.N.: boy he don't ask for much do he?)

back to Yusuke and co.

"Just how many of these things are there? Cuz this got old awhile ago!" Kuwabara asked after helping demolish yet another group of the aforementioned minor demons. The feeling is mutual; this is getting old it's like they're coming out of the stonework! We are however getting closer to Kurama. "And the bad news? I heard the 'but' on the end of that!" Raven prompted. Hmph you know me too well! There's a malovent presence in close vicinity, possibly the same room. We can probably safely assume this is our, ah, host. "Fabulous, so to get to Kurama we have to bust major ass." Groaned Yusuke. Pretty much.

Back to Kurama and captor

"Your friends draw closer; they are starting to exhaust my supply of expendables. Ah, what's this? Shadow and Raven, hmmm…this is rather unexpected I'll have to watch my step now, won't I?" murmured Kurama's still nameless captor. You still haven't introduced yourself." Kurama noted. "I will, I will. All in good time everything will become clear." He whispered in mock soothing tones.
