A/N: I started school this week! I'm going to have loads of homework, though. I'm taking 3 High School credits, and I'm only in middle school! Sorry about the blabbering. Okay, here is the story!

Disclaimer: I like, don't, like, own, like, Yu Yu Hakusho, so, like, leave me alone, okay?

Kurama and the Amulet of Truth

They entered the castle. It was pretty easy to get into, but of course Yoshimi was expected. After a while they came to a split of they hall. "Let's split up," Kurama suggested. "Yusuke and Kuwabara can go left, and Hiei, Yoshimi and I will take the right."

"Aw man!" Yusuke complained. Why can't I go right?"

"Hn," Hiei said. "Fine. It's more likely to be down the left anyways."

"Forget it, then," Yusuke said. "Me and Kuwabara are gonna take the left!" Those two set of down the left corridor, as the others set off down the right.

"You do know that it is more likely that the amulet will be down this way, don't you?" Kurama said, after they had been walking a while.

"Hn. Of course, fox. Why did you think I told them it was the other way?" Hiei said.

Kurama laughed. Well, not exactly a laugh, as much as he laughs usually. "I thought so."

Yoshimi wondered why Hiei had called Kurama "fox." She had a guess, but it wasn't very likely the truth. And she wasn't about to ask.

After they had been walking for quite some time, they came upon a weird bit of shimmering air. "What is that?" Yoshimi wondered out loud.

"Hn. I could be a trap," Hiei said.

"Maybe," Kurama said. "But still, it is the only way through. We will have to risk it."

"Okay," Yoshimi said. "I'll go first!"

"Yoshimi, wait!" Kurama said, but it was too late. Yoshimi was already gone.

Yusuke and Kuwabara were walking down the corridor, arguing as usual. It had started when Yusuke had kicked a rock, and Kuwabara had said he could kick one farther.

"Yes, I can!"

"No you can't!"

"I can!"

"Prove it." Yusuke said with a smirk. He knew Kuwabara couldn't kick a rock farther than him.

"I will," Kuwabara said. He ran up to a rock, but before he could kick it, he slipped and landed flat on his face. That caused Yusuke to break out laughing.

"Ha ha ha ha ha!" He was laughing so hard he was turning blue. He managed to stop just long enough to say, "You can kick a rock farther than me? My grandma can kick better than you! Lemme show you how it's done!" Yusuke sent a rock sailing through the air down the corridor, but they didn't hear it drop.

"Wow, Urimeshi, you must have kicked that rock really far," Kuwabara said. "I didn't even hear it land!"

"Yep, told ya I could," Yusuke said confidently. He strutted down the corridor until he came to a wall of shimmering air. "What is that?" he said.

"Dunno," said Kuwabara, coming up behind him. "Looks like some sort of wall to me. Shoot it with your spirit gun."

"Yeah," Yusuke said. "Maybe I will. Spirit Gun!" He shot a beam of energy into the shimmering thing, but the energy just disappeared.

"Maybe we should go back," Kuwabara said, nervously.

"Yeah," Yusuke said. "We go back, and tell them that this way was blocked."

"Bet I can beat you," Kuwabara said.

"You're on!" said Yusuke, and they started to race down the hallway.

Yoshimi was falling. Down and down, deeper into the darkness. She finally hit the ground, but surprisingly, she wasn't hurt. She was surprised that she wasn't hurt, considering the distance she had fallen from. She got up and looked around. She was in a forest, surrounded by huge gray trees in every direction. There was no color anywhere. She was all alone in a gray world.

"Kurama?" she called, not expecting an answer, but still calling anyway. "Hiei! Yusuke! Kuwabara! Kurama!!!" She flung herself to the ground and started sobbing uncontrollably.

"Don't cry," said a voice from above. Yoshimi looked up. Kurama was there, looking down at her, smiling. He held out a hand to help her up. She took it and pulled herself up. "Thanks," she said, wiping away her tears and smiling. "Now let's get out of here!"

"I'm afraid you can't leave," Kurama said, still smiling. "You have to stay here."

"But...why?" Yoshimi said, suddenly confused. "How can you leave me!?"

"I have to, Yoshimi," he said, smiling the same horrible smile.

"Wait," she said, running after Kurama as he was backing away. "Don't go!"

"I have to," he repeated, still backing away, his voice fading, becoming less distinct. Suddenly, he faded away all together; all that was left in this colorless world was the wind and a haunting memory. Yoshimi collapsed on the ground again, sobbing uncontrollably once more.
