Inulover: Hiya. Ok I apologies greatly to Jus Kita, NightShadow131, And Volpe Di Spirito for doing this but… I do realize that there are people that like this story besides the very nice people that have been reviewing. (Two new people just added me to their alert list) the people just aren't reviewing soooo

5 people have to review before the next chapter is up. And really, that is not bad at all.

KuramaHiei: on with the story.

Kurama: this chapter ACTUALLY has a few fight scenes!

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Yukita's voice had disappeared by the time Kurama had rejoined the others. He still felt nervous; actually, he was terrified, not that he would ever have admitted it to anyone aloud. No matter what you were, came from, or believed, it was never a good sign to be hearing the voices of the dead in your head.

Kurama looked up to the tops of the old crumbling buildings in the ancient area, watching as his lover seemingly flew over the crumbling buildings. Frowning sadly Kurama gazed back down to the cracked sidewalk, hands in his pockets. Hiei hadn't so much as looked at Kurama since they had left the house. In fact he had taken to the rooftops the minute Kurama had caught up and the fox didn't enjoy being treated like the plague by his own lover, anyone else he really couldn't have given a shit about. 'He sounded so hurt when he said he wasn't going to ask. Is this really worth it? Keeping this from him?' he glanced back up briefly to watch Hiei speed ahead of the group, 'this isn't doing either of us any good.'

Hiei stopped and glanced behind him to see how far ahead he had gotten. Finding the group still half a block away he sat on a still supportive ledge on the building.

The whole area, Hiei found, was in complete chaos. Buildings were broken in half with their counter parts in a heap of rubble next to them. Others were merely a steel outline, either half constructed or half demolished. Dust rose in clouds to cover the normally beautiful skies, casting a murky shadow over the area.

Feeling eyes on him Hiei let his gaze trail back to the team, or more specifically Kurama. The fox wasn't looking at him though, not anymore, he was to busy studying the cracks in the pavement. Hiei never thought that a frown suited his lover but he wasn't about to go and apologize about what he said anymore then he was about to comfort his fox without knowing what was wrong.

"Do you even know how to read that thing?!"

"Of course I do Yusuke! Look! We're getting closer!"

"Like hell we are! We're going in circles!"

"Urameshi! That's no way to talk to a lady,"

"Thank you Kuwabara."

Hiei jumped down in front of the arguing trio.

"You're all a bunch of morons. Give the damn thing to Kurama," the red head looked at Hiei but only received a glance of cold eyes before Hiei diverted his gaze. "At least he'll be able to get us somewhere."

"Fine then!" Botan huffed indignantly, and shoved the map under Kurama's nose.

Kurama noticed the one red dot that they were supposedly following running circles around them. Without warning the ground rumbled and cracked, tall jagged pillars sprung forth as the tentei plummeted down under the pavement.

Yusuke pushed a large piece of concrete off of himself causing dust to kick up were it fell as he stood, dusting himself off. "Well, that was fun." He mumbled

"We've been deceived," Kurama said after he inspected their surroundings. He walked over to where Yusuke stood in front of one of the many branching tunnels. "He was luring us here."

The cave walls rattled, knocking loose large clumps of rocks from the packed ceiling. The shower of boulders effectively split the warriors apart from each other, trapped in separate passageways.

"Spirit…!"

"Yusuke! Wait!" Kurama grabbed his arm, "Do you want the area to cave in?!"

"Well what the hell do you think we should do then?"

"We look for a way out the old fashioned way." Kurama began walking down the only passage way that was open to them. A sudden invisible force pressed against the base of Kurama's neck and he froze, grabbing onto the wall as tiny black spots appeared in his line of vision.

'I'll be taking over now.'

Yusuke threw his hands behind his head, "Man I hate mazes. Uh, Kurama? Why'd ya stop? Whoa!" Yusuke rushed to his friend asKurama collapsed.

Botan looked the rock wall up and down, "Oh dear, I hope Kurama and Yusuke are alright."

"Don't worry Botan; a couple a measly rocks won't stop Urameshi." Kuwabara looked dumbly at the wall, "Couldn't we have Yusuke use his spirit gun or something?"

"NO you idiot! Do you want the whole thing caving in on us!?" Hiei yelled.

"I know that! I mean, couldn't we just have him use a tiny spirit gun?"

"Hn, Idiot," Hiei muttered under his breath.

"Whadga say twerp!?"

"Alright children, lets not stay here all day!" Botan scolded. Kuwabara and Hiei glared at each other before giving in and following the fairy girl.

'Who ever trapped me alone with these two idiots is gonna pay with their life.'Hiei thought heatedly.

Yusuke attempted to rouse the red head from his fainting spell, all the time wondering why the hell he had passed out in the first place; he didn't look sick. The fighter sat back on his heels as Kurama began moving. "You had me worried there for a minute. Ya alright?"

Impassive emeralds scanned the area before the lithe form pushed itself up. "Whoa! Hey! Lay back down..." Yusuke froze, dark coffee eyes locked with steel cold emeralds. He wanted to back away from the piercing gaze but couldn't find the will in himself to move. He held back the sigh a relief when the gaze finally left him. Something about them had seemed to chill his blood. "You alright now? Kurama?" he ventured cautiously.

'Why do I feel like he might attack me?' Yusuke thought and again attempted not to move away as those frozen eyes fell back on him.

'Damnit! That fool set me up with the wrong one! Aracnus, what the hell where you thinking sending Shin for this?'

Kurama stood up, "I'm fine…detective. Let's get outta here." Yusuke stared at Kurama's retreating form.

'What? "outta here"? What the fuck! He hit his head or somethin? And what's with this "detective" shit?'

"Kurama? Do you even know how to get outta here?"

"Yes."

"Man of few words today," Yusuke followed Kurama at a safe distance, he still didn't trust him, not now.Kurama's eyes had left a lingering chill in his bones; Kurama never looked at anyone with such an icy stare. A low chuckle echoed down the cavern.

"Why so wary of me detective?"

"I dunno, maybe it's the way you keep calling me 'detective'"

"There's no reason to fear me. I'm your friend, remember?"

"What's my name?" They both ceased moving, Kurama went slightly ridged.

"What is the significance of telling you your own name?"

"You're not Kurama. What did you do with him?" he growled at the imposter earning another low chuckle.

"You're not as dumb as you look detective."

"What did you do with him?" The imposter smirked and gestured at himself.

"I assure you, he's all right here. He's just… taking a little nap." He said coolly; as plain as if he'd been reading from a book. "But now…" his voice darkened, "… I'm afraid you know too much for your own good!"

Yusuke jumped over Kurama's head to avoid the charging fox. Kurama's rose whip shot out in the air, dragging Yusuke down in mid-flight. Yusuke had never realized before how his friends small and seemingly fragile frame hide his true strength until he was being restrained on his back; Kurama on top of him and a sharp bamboo sword deathly close to his throat.

"I wouldn't have had any reason to kill you if had just kept your mouth shut!"

Yusuke kicked Kurama off, sending the red head crashing into the rock wall. Wasting no time he jumped up and aimed at the prone form lying on the ground. "Spirit gun!" Kurama barely managed to jump out of the way as the attack collided with the wall behind him; causing a chain reaction and throwing large boulders down as the cave shook and a wall built up between the two competitors.

"Didn't your little friend warn you about using that nasty little thing in here?" He spoke to the air while walking off unscathed.

Kuwabara was the first to spot the kitsune appearing from within the tunnel adjacent to them. "Hey, Where's Urameshi? I thought he was with you?"

"He was but we got separated."

The cave rattled and a huge spider lunged at Kurama. The rose whip flashed through the air, knocking back his offender, the same size as Yukita's true form. "Not me, you bumbling idiot! You never could see past your own two fangs!" Yukita's familiar voice hissed out under Kurama's lower one.

The spider-Shin- dove at Kuwabara, throwing him down before turning to Hiei and spitting muddy-green colored acid at him. The fire demon dashed out off the way, unsheathing his sword and landing behind the youkai, pointingthe gleaming steelat the spider demon.

"If that's the best you've got then you're even weaker then that pathetic mother of yours," Hiei mocked with a malevolent sneer. The large youkai charged,

"Don't you dare talk about my mother!" he screamed, spitting his acid again. The Koorime easily jumped over his head and slashed a long bloody gash all through Shin's back. Hiei landed smoothly and sheathed his sword again as the spider fell to the ground in a twitching gory mess of flesh.

Feeling a strong, boa constrictor like grip running up his legs he quickly looked down, spotting thick vines rapidly winding themselves around him until he was lifted off the floor, incased in a wall of crawling vines. Seething eyes turned to Kurama, the creator of this prison.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" he screamed, "Have you lost you're mind!"

"I'm quite sane, thank you." The boy walked over to Hiei, ignoring the complaints of his other captives. He took Hiei's chin between his thumb and index finger, "Shame. Now that I look at you, you are rather cute." A low chuckle and a smirk made Hiei growl, ripping away from his boyfriends hand. The familiar face moved in close to the tiny youkai's ear and whisper: "Your lover has good taste. To bad you both have to die."

Hiei attempted to fry the vines by flaring his Ki, stopping when both Botan and Kuwabara screamed in agony. "What the hell?" he mumbled

"I wouldn't try that again, unless you want to toast your friends to a crisp." Kurama licked his lips, "I haven't tried humans cooked yet but I'm willing to try it."

"Yukita!"

"Oh? You figured it out already? Shame. I was having such fun toying with you."

"What have you done with Kurama?!"

"Simple minds think alike, eh? Your little detective friend asked the same thing. And I can safely say that he's all right here."

Hiei struggled against his restraints fruitlessly but the vines tightened their grip.A lone leafy limb wrapped around the koorimes throat, slowly tightening once Kurama snapped his fingers.

"I've become rather skilled at controlling your lover's powers haven't I? In barely a day and a half I've learned many of his skills; even how to control his plants." The vine tightened aroundHiei's throat more as if reacting to Yukita's words, robbinghim of air.

Electric blue light encased them and turned the vines to brittle dried out steams, sending Yukita into the wall. Enraged Emerald eyes glared at the cocky detective smirking in front of them.

"Did ya forget about me?"

"How the hell did you survive?!" She yelled at him.

"You really thought you killed me?" he laughed, "Yeah right."

"Bastard!" She jumped upand lashed the whip at Yusuke in a flurry of thorns.

He caught the whip in one hand, crimson dripping down the thorns of the whip. Yukita watched him disbelievingly as Yusuke yanked the cord out of her hand and it changed to a wilted rose, falling to the floor along with a shower of blood red petals.

The demon charged at him, Yusuke jumped and landed behind her, putting her in a choke hold with one arm, pinning the failing arms with the other against his friends back. The demon struggled and then stilled, chuckling lightly.

"What's so funny?" Yusuke growled.

"You can't hurt me, I'm already dead." A cold piece of steel pressed against the pale flesh of Kurama's neck. Yukita frowned and looked at the swords wielder.

"And what makes you think we can't kill you?"

"Because you'll only kill your friend," she smiled again, "you clearly don't under stand possessions do you?" another laugh, "If you do end up killing this boy I'll just find another body."

"It's me you want so leave Kurama out of this!"

"Aww, how sweet. Trying to save your lover? Sorry to tell you that I have other plans for this body." Jade eyes flashed golden and red hair changed to long flowing silver locks. Kurama grew in stature and Yusuke's grip slackened. One of six fluffy tails knocked the sword out of Hiei's hands as the form of Yoko Kurama darted out of the cave. "We'll meet again detective!"

Yusuke watched the form disappear with a frown, 'Damn it.'

"Hey! Where'd the twerp go? And what the hell just happened?"

"Wha…?" Yusuke looked around to find Hiei and his sword gone and sighed, 'poor guy, I feel sorry for him.'

"Yusuke?" Botan spoke in a quiet voice, "do you think he'll be able to fight him?"

"I don't know."

"Would someone please clue me in!"

Hiei attempted to follow Yoko Kurama, no, Yukita, that wasn't Kurama anymore. After mere minutes he had lost sight of her in the twists and bends of the tunnels. He continued out of the tunnel and tried to search for Kurama's energy but couldn't find a trace of it. He cursed to himself and took to the roof tops. 'How could I have let this happen? Damn it!'
