''''''' Chapter 3 '''''''
Yusuke glanced over at Kurama who was staring at his feet as they rode the bus to Genkai's.(1)
"Hey, fox-boy."
Kurama lifted his head slightly to signal that he was listening.
"Would you stop being so uptight? You're making me nervous."
The kitsune laughed quietly.
"I was trying to be serious." Yusuke said, annoyed.
"Oh, were you?" Kurama asked, looking at the detective. "I couldn't tell."
Yusuke sweatdropped. "Well, someone's calmed down."
Kurama gave a brave grin, but it vanished.
:: Kuuuuuraaaaammaaaaaa..... ::
A chill ran down the fox's spine. "Yusuke... please tell me you heard that..."
Yusuke stared at the red-head. "Heard what?"
Kurama took in a deep breath. "I heard the voice again."
"What's it saying?"
"I told you before, it was just saying my name."
:: Kuuuuraaaaammaaaaa!!! ::
Kurama pushed back his bangs. "How close are we to Genkai's?"
Yusuke looked out the window. "Err.... we have a few miles to go. Why?"
Kurama felt a knot in his stomach form. "No reason," he lied.
:: KUUUUURAAAAAAAMAAAA!!!! ::
The fox paled a little. 'It's louder then before. Please let us be close to Genkai's...'
:: KUUUUURAAAAAAMAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ::
The said boy felt like clutching his head in pain. The voice was getting too loud to bear anymore.
:: KUUUUURRRRRAAAAAAMMMAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ::
Kurama actually grabbed his head that time. The voice was blaring through his mind, and it was like nothing he had ever heard.
"Go away, damn it!" he hissed out in pain.
Yusuke came over to the fox. "Easy there, pal. What's going on?" he asked.
Kurama looked up at Yusuke with pain-filled eyes. "It-it's getting louder. Please tell me we're close to the temple. I really don't think I can stand it much longer." he said.
:: KUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAMAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! ::
The fox couldn't take it anymore. He began gasping out in pain, cursing colorfully.
Yusuke felt his eyes widen. 'I've never seen him do that before. It must really hurt.'
The detective tried talking to him. "C'mon, Kurama. It's a voice. Tune it out, man. Do something! You're the brains of everything, aren't ya?!"
Still clutching his head, Kurama looked up. "Are we there?" he whispered.
Yusuke looked out the window and sighed of relief. "Yes, Kurama. We're at Genkai's,"
Taking Kurama off of the bus wasn't that hard to do, considering the voices were softening and slowly fading away.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't my favorite dimwit."
"Knock it off, old hag. Kurama needs help."
Genkai raised her brows. "What kind of help?"
Kurama swallowed, not able to find the right words. "I've been hearing voices."
Genkai looked over the fox. "Can you describe it?"
Kurama took in a deep breath. "It sounds like a creature.Maybe a demon."
The psychic nodded. "Maybe it's your conscience. Does it sound like former enemies we have faced before?"
Kurama shook his head. "No. It's new to me. It's like nothing I have ever heard."
Genkai pondered it. "You're sure? Think back, Kurama. Maybe Youko has heard it before, or in your dreams."
Kurama felt his eyes widen. "My dreams! Of course! I recognize that voice!"
He remembered the man in the cloak and shuddered.
Genkai sighed and shrugged her shoulders. "It could be stress, or just fear of the dream. Or maybe your dream is trying to tell you something."
"Like a preminition(2)?" Yusuke asked.
"It just might be." she answered.
Kurama exhaled and grinned. "Thank you, Genkai."
"No problem. Tell me if you keep hearing the voices, alright?"
"Hai.(3)"
--------------------------
(1)- I'm not sure, but I think that's how they get there, right? If not, can someone fill me in, please? Thank you.
(2)- A preminition is a glimpse into the future.
(3)- Hai is "yes" in Japanese.
