Kurama and Ruby had a little moment at the park, classic! Still, I might as well say Yoko and Ruby had a moment at the park. What is going on with our sexy lil' spirit fox! And Ruby is acting weird also. Let's find out and Chi-Li shall tell the past. chibi grin HIIIII SPIKE!


-Kurama's POV

sigh... this life is so boring...

It's been two weeks since Ruby and I last spoke. Heck, it's been two weeks since I've seen her. It's been breaking my concentration in half lately wondering why she's been absent from school... because half of me is Yoko and he can't stop thinking about her. As Mr. Rogers says his final words... my breath comes short...

It's finally summer's Break!

I smile as the students rush out the door, singing the old song: "No more teachers, no more books! No more principal's dirty looks!"

I -also- amglad the get away from this school. Summer means more missions, which means no more boredom for three months. Suddenly, Yoko comes to. He had been in deep thought ever since he wrapped Ruby in his arms.

Shuichi, take us to Ruby's house.

Why?

Don't ask questions.

I concluded that Yoko wanted to see Ruby after the weeks of absence, so I started to walk to the apartment complex. On the way, Yusuke and Kuwabara join me from their school. They were also singing that old school yard song.

"Hey Kurama! Whaz up?" Yusuke asked.

"I'm my way to a friend's house." I answer.

"Who's that?" Kuwabara asked, with a sly grin on his face.

"It must be a girl if you haven't talked about her until Summer time."

"Oh! A girl for the summer, Kurama? I didn't know you were that sneaky, you fox!"

I blush slightly. Those two can be highly perverted when they want to be, but they have been worrying about me. Yusuke, Kuwabara, and especially Hiei, have all been worried about my sleepless night. My thoughts poured into my face and Yusuke sees it.

"Don't worry about it, Kurama. Everyone has certain problems with sleep. I bet even demons have trouble with it." He said, putting a friendly arm around my shoulders.

"Sure. Still... I don't think that my friend would appreciate me bringing guests over her house. I haven't even seen her at my school for over a week, so I don't know what to expect." I warn, still not telling her name.

"That's okay. If you must know, Koenma sent us to follow you, anyway." Kuwabara sighed.

I blink nonchalontly. "What for?"

"He says that your friend's house is letting out some strange spirit wavelengths thingies... like someone trying to looking into time." Yusuke answered.

"You mean... looking into the future and past?" I ask.

Kuwabara nods. "Yeah, that's about right."

It was then that I made my next steps quicken with Yusuke and Kuwabara behind me. I had this sudden urge to see Ruby and to make sure she was okay. Whatever has happened in her house, me... no -Yoko- wanted to hold Ruby again in his arms reguardless.

As we finally reached Ruby's apartment door, I don't give Yusuke a chance to ask me a question and knock on the door.

A woman answers it. She has a black and purple komodo on with a purple bow. Her hair was a blissful purple and her eyes held black rocks. She looked highly frightened.

"Oh... may I help you?" She asked.

"Yes. I'm Shuichi, Ruby's friend. Is she in?"

The woman's eyes held back tears.

"I'm Chi-Li, her mother... and I'm afraid... she can't even get out of bed..." She whispered.

The three of us gasped and ran into the house, making sure to kick off our shoes and to not push Chi-Li out of the way. Even though I've never been in her house, I knew the way... Yoko could sense it. We stopped at a door and Yusuke opened it slowly...

The whole room seemed to be filled with a spiritual peace of mind and power.

Ruby lay in her bed, seeming to be sleep... but her eyes were wide open. Her orbs seemed filled with a clouded presence and Ruby's bed glowed shades of white and black.

"What is this?" Yusuke gasped.

"It feels like... that girl... is the source of all this energy. Like this energy is trying to explore."

"I'm surprised you didn't feel the disturbance from outside, Kuwabara." I comment.

Yoko was in an unnatural panic that didn't suit him.

What's wrong with her?

I don't know.

Find out!

Chi-Li came behind us, tears down her face.

"Ruby-chan's been like this for two weeks. Her eyes look cold and dead, and when you try and get near her... that shield thing lets out so much energy, it almost feels like waves of water pushing you back." She explained.

Slowly, Yoko walked my body closer to the bed, taking one step at a time.

"Wait, Kurama! Don't be stupid!" Yusuke called out.

"We don't know what it that can do." Kuwabara backed up.

But, Yoko didn't care. He cared about Ruby too much and needed too many questions answered to stop. In the end, my hand reached out for Ruby's forehead... and my mind was sudden left blank...

-Normal POV

Yusuke and Kuwabara looked in awe as Kurama's body suddenly became limp and collapsed onto the floor. But, then, another body was heard hitting the floor. Yusuke turned around to see that Chi-Li had collapsed as well.

"What's going on?" Kuwabara freaked, getting the ghost creeps.

"We should find Hiei. He's better at this type of shit."


Somewhere in the Park, a troubled father had staryed from his family to be alone. Jason was currently sitting on a park bench, looking at the blue sky... but all the while... knowing her daughter was going through a plight. And, all the while, knowing what the plight was.

Then, he started to speak to nothing, it seemed.

"You know, you always had a thing for stalking people."

Suddenly, Hiei dropped down in front of him.

"Don't start it, Jason. You and I both know that Ruby has killed another human."

"Yeah. It's probably from that new school of hers. She's been having a field day in there."

Hiei snorted.

"Don't you know that if she gets in this habit, she's bond to devour you next to get the needed energy to find out her past. I can tell Ruby's willing to go that far to do it."

Jason stood up, towering over the fire demon.

"Don't you think I know that... but I think that if Ruby kills me to find out her roots, it will be my debt for the pain I caused her race. I was lucky to survive She-Devil's attack all those years ago... and still look this young." Jason joked.

Hiei had to laugh.

"You always had a sense of humor, Jason."


Hiei: I don't laugh...

Now you do.

Kirby: eating McDonald's food Want some chicken nuggets, Hiei?

Hiei: I don't think so.

Kirby: Come on! You'll love it! It's made of white meat.

Hiei: It's poison.

Kirby: But, I haven't died.

Hiei: Unfortunately...

That's not nice! Say sorry to Kirby!

Hiei: NEVER!

Kirby: That's okay. I was going to give you this Subway sandwich, but you were mean to me...

Hiei: starts to drool but huffs I don't like Subway anyway.

Kirby: Pulls out a Quizno's sub

Hiei: can't stop drooling

Kirby: just like the rats in the commercial for Quizno's subs We love your subs!
