Kurama and Yusuke exited the scene of the bloody murder.

"Do you think that maybe the driver did it himself?" Yusuke questioned softly.

Kurama shook his head. "I doubt it. His hands were still on the wheel, and suicide is usually done while no one is around to stop the death."

Yusuke was silent again. "Hmm..."

Kurama sighed and stopped walking as a car was coming quickly.

Squinting his eyes, he noted that the car was getting dangerously close to the sidewalk they were walking on.

He then figured out that the car was headed straight for them!

"Look out!" He cried, pushing Yusuke and himself out of the way.

The car skidded to a halt and turned around to face the detectives.

"Woah! There's no driver in that car!" Yusuke exclaimed.

This was true - no one was present in the car.

Kurama pulled out a rose, ready to snap it, when it was knocked from his hand. "What the-?"

:: SHALL YOU FOREVER BE BANISHED IN THE FLAMES OF HELL, KURAMA! ::

Kurama cried out in pain and clutched his head.

"Kurama, watch out!" Yusuke called

The fox clenched his teeth and stared at the car that was coming at him at a rapid speed.

He dodged it, barley, still holding his head.

Yusuke came at the kitsune's aid. "Yo, Kurama, you okay?"

:: HELL WILL FIND YOU, YOU FUCKING FOX! WE'LL FIND YOU AND PULL YOU INTO DAMNATION! ::

Kurama cried out again. "The...voices... they're back, Yusuke...." he hissed.

Yusuke nodded and faced the car that was heading at them again.

Preparing his Spirit Gun, he waited for the car to come at him.

But instead, the car zoomed off in a different direction.

Yusuke glared at it before turning his attention back to the fox.

The redhead's teeth were clenched tightly and beads of sweat were forming on his forehead.

"Hang in there, Kurama. We're almost home."

That was all the fox rememebered before he passed out cold.

When Kurama next woke up, he recognized his bedroom. Shiori was sleeping in a chair at his bedside, and he shook her shoulder gently. "Mother?"

Shiori opened her eyes. "Oh, Schuiichi! You're awake! I was so worried about you!"

Kurama blinked. "What happened?"

"Yusuke brought you here. Said you fainted when you were coming home from a friend's house. You were ill for a few days with a high fever, delirious. You kept asking for the voices to leave you alone. Schuiichi, what did you mean? What voices?"

Kurama looked at his lap. "I was delirious, mother. I'm not sure."

'Yes you are.' A voice in the back of his head taunted.

Shiori pulled her son into an embrace. "Schuiichi, please tell me what's going on."

Kurama returned the hug. "I guess I was a little overworked. Don't worry, mother. I'm fine, now."

Shiori released her son and grinned. "That's my boy. Get some sleep, Schuiichi. I'll go make you some soup and wake you up when it's done."

Kurama forced a smile as his mother left the room.

As soon as she closed the door, he turned his gaze onto his lap again.

He sighed and rested his head against his pillow. 'Why on Earth am I going through this?'

The kitsune sighed again and succumbed to sleep.
