Chapter 8

The room was dark and dank. Chains was strung from one wall to another, and caught in the center of these chains was none other than Yusuke, who lay unconscious. A green light glowed around the chains that held Yusuke in place. An hour had passed since he had been kidnapped, at first he struggled, but he soon learned any energy he used was absorbed into the chains.

A loud creaking sound came from the door, and a strip of light poured into the room. A girl who could only be twelve or thirteen with short brown hair and pale skin stepped in, the look on her face showing she didn't want to be there. She held a wooden bowl in her hands. Her gaze landed on Yusuke and a frown spread along her face. Taking a few steps closer to the boy she took him by the shoulder and shook him awake.

Feeling someone shaking him Yusuke slowly opened his eyes to stare into hazel eyes, which kept shifting to look at anything but him. About to question the girl he was stopped when she held the bowl to his lips. Inside the bowl was what looked like water. Eyeing her suspiciously Yusuke drank the water.

When Yusuke was finished drinking the girl pulled the bowl back and was about to leave. Seeing his only chance at figuring out what happened slipping away Yusuke shouted at the girl. "Hey, wait! What the fuck is going on here? One moment I was at the docks, the next I'm here! Care to explain!"

Sighing the girl turned to face him. A look of pure sorrow was on her face. "I'm sorry but it seems my master has taken an interest in you, and because of that he has kidnapped you."

"Master?" confusion could be heard in Yusuke's voice as he said the word. "Does that mean the demon who kidnapped me kidnapped you too?"

The girl shook her head. "No. In Demon World power is everything, and I have very little so if I want any I need someone to teach me. Sadly my master was the only one who was willing to teach me." Turning her back on Yusuke she began to leave him alone again. "Now excuse me but I have chores to do."

"Wait! Who is your master?" Actually remembering something Genkai taught him, he tried to figure out everything he could about his opponent before facing him.

Not even glancing over her shoulder the girl said in a monotone voice. "Someone who you will hate instantly." And without another word she left and Yusuke was left alone by himself again.

Kurama sat in his bedroom waiting to receive an answer from Spirit World. After Yusuke had been kidnapped he immediately contacted Koenma, and the toddler told him to wait for instructions, saying that they couldn't rush into things just yet.

He was on edge. He didn't think it was possible for anything to be stolen from him since he was once a great thief, yet Yusuke had been stolen right in front of him and he couldn't do anything about it. The whole thing was unnerving, and he knew things were only going to get worse.

A tap on the window alerted Kurama to the presence outside. Standing up from the chair he had been sitting in he slowly walked over to the window and opened it. He knew who was on the other side, and knew nothing good would come from this visit.

Crimson orbs glared at Kurama. Dressed in his usual black attire Hiei was kneeling on the tree branch in front of Kurama's bedroom window. Not wasting anytime Hiei went straight to what he wanted to know. "Where is my detective, Fox?"

Yusuke gasped as the feeling of cold hands touched his now bare chest. After the girl had left he had gone back to sleep, but feeling the icy hands roaming his chest shook him out of his sleeping state. He could now see his enemy with ease. The demon was a few inches taller than him, and had sliver hair that went a little past his shoulders, and was tied back in a low ponytail. He wore only black pants, revealing his lithe and muscular form.

A teasing smile played on the demons lips, and he chuckled when Yusuke tried to move away from his cold touch. "Aw now don't be mean detective I just want to play." The demon pouted and Yusuke's jaw dropped.

This so-called powerful demon was acting like a five year-old who's best friend said their mom wanted them home right now. "What the fuck is wrong with you! First you kidnap me and start acting like some little kid! What are you retarded!" (Akira: Sorry to anyone who takes offence to that comment)

Excitement flashed through the demon's eyes. Still stroking Yusuke's chest up and down he replied childishly, "No I just want to play with my new toy."

"Toy! Now listen I am n-" Yusuke was cut off. A pair of lips touched his own, but they weren't soft or warm, the kiss he was receiving didn't feel like anything. Trying to move away from the demon Yusuke found it impossible to get away. The demon bit Yusuke's lip and forced his tongue into Yusuke's mouth.

Feeling disgust worm its way around in his stomach Yusuke bit down on the demon's tongue. The demon pulled back, but that annoying childish smile was still on his face. "Aw so the detective doesn't want to play right now. I guess I'll be nice and let you rest for now. After all you need to get used to your new home after all."

Before Yusuke had a chance to yell at the annoying and childish demon he had skipped out of the room, leaving Yusuke in a daze, and wondering what self-respecting demon skips. Sighing in defeat Yusuke looked down at the ground and before he was even aware of what he was saying the word slipped pass his lips in a breathy whisper, "Hiei."
