Elves Are More Trouble Than They're Worth
Chapter 5
Rune woke up and looked around. He didn't recognize his surroundings and was beginning to panic until he heard his 'brother's' voice.
"Finally up?" he asked, chuckling slightly.
"How long have I been out?"
"About a week," Kurama replied calmly.
"A week!?!" Rune shouted, looking up at his brother with a horrified expression.
"Yes, and in case you're wondering, you in spirit world."
"How did I get here? And why am I here for that matter?"
"We brought you here after you were attacked. As to why you're here..." Kurama trailed off, not wanting to tell Rune the truth, but yet not wanting to lie to the younger boy either.
"Kurama?" Rune asked in a concerned voice. "What is it?"
"For some reason there are demons after you, so we've decided it's safest for you to stay here," Kurama said, not looking at his brother, already knowing what his reaction would be.
"What?! Why?!" he asked. He was completely confused now. "If there were demons after me before when I was in the human world, then why can't I stay there? Nothing happened!"
Kurama suddenly looked at the elf, a stern look in the fox spirit's eyes. "Rune, things did happen! You were given a sleeping poison, nearly kidnapped, followed home from school, and now a demon picked you, out of all of us, and tried to kill you!" Kurama's tone of voice matched the look on his face.
"I'm sorry, Kurama. I just don't want to be stuck here with nothing to do. I just want to go home, I want life to return to normal," Rune said looking down at the blankets that covered him.
"I know, Rune," Kurama said in a heartbreaking, soft voice. "I wish that everything would return to normal as well, but until it does you have to stay here. We don't want to lose you, Rune."
Rune didn't reply. He didn't even look up when he heard Kurama sigh and leave. His hands clutched the sheets tightly and he tried to stop tears from falling. He could protect himself, but Kurama, Yusuke, Hiei, Koenma, and even Kuwabara didn't seem to think so. They always had, he had just never said anything about it. But now, even though Kurama hadn't said anything to give it away, but the way he had acted told Rune that they truly didn't believe in him.
He couldn't take it any more. He had to get out of here.

"Does this area look familiar?" Ruwalk asked. He was sure he had seen this place before.
"It looks somewhat like the faire forest," Thatz answered.
Lykouleon's eyes suddenly widen in realization. "This is the world the elves originated from!"
"What?!" Rath, Thatz, and Ruwalk asked in unison.
"Elves were not original born on our own world. They were born on another and then came to ours' when people started to hunt them. This must be the world their from."
"But if fairies were from another world, why didn't Rune tell us about it?" Rath asked.
"My father placed a spell on their minds after hearing their story. He made them forget about the old world in hopes to keep them peaceful creatures."
"What do you mean by 'in hopes to keep them peaceful creatures?'"
"The elves were turning into angry, hateful creatures when they came to the dragon lord. They were fuelled by one thing: Revenge," Tetheus explained for the dragon lord.
"Wait, what happens if Rune remembers this world?" Thatz asked, worry clear in his voice.
Lykouleon sighed and found he couldn't look at the earth knight. "We don't know."

"KOENMA!! KOENMA, SIR!!!" Botan yelled, running into the office.
"What is it, Botan?" Koenma asked. The toddler was still in shock that Yusuke AND Hiei had agreed with him on something.
"I don't know how it happened, sir, but, but..."
"But what, Botan? I don't have all day!" Koenma snapped at the ferry girl.
"Rune's gone!" she finally cried out. "I'm sorry! I know there were suppose to be people watching him but, I just don't know how he got out!"
"It seems we underestimated the elf," Hiei said in a cold voice, but those who knew him could hear the hint of concern.
"That's probably why he left," Kurama said sadly, not making eye contact with anyone.
No one asked what he meant. Everyone knew, including Kuwabara.
~*~*~*~*~
And knowing Rune's luck in my stories, he's going to get himself into a lot of trouble before anyone finds him. Oh well. Let me know what you think and I'll update soon. I should also be able to update Cage Bird in Death in a few days also, so watch out for that.
