A/N: Hey! Sorry I haven't updated in so long, but I had a serious case of writers block, and I was really busy. So (finally!) here is the next installment of...

Kurama and the Amulet of Truth!

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho.


"Where are you taking me!?" Kaori asked, trying in vain to free herself from Tomayo's grasp.

"To the Demon World, of course my dear Kaori," Tomayo said, keeping a strong grip on the struggling Kaori.

"But we don't know where the amulet half is! It could be anywhere! We can't just go around searching everywhere for it!" Kaori exclaimed.

"I don't intend to search everywhere, my dear. In fact, I know exactly where to look," Tomayo said confidently in his deep voice.

"Well," Kaori said. "Aren't you going to tell me?"

"And risk you finding it if we somehow get separated?" Tomayo said quizzically. "Of course not." He speed up, flying away into a hole between the demon world and that of the human world.


Kurama and the others were still in the upper room of the tower, contemplating what to do.

"We could fly after them," Kuwabara suggested.

"Hn. Stupid, we don't have wings," Hiei ridiculed.

"Or maybe..." Kurama said. He was staring at the telaporta cube and the corpora disk. "We could use these to take us to her. I think if one of us could just to envision her face, this cube would take us to her."

"Yeah, but one question," Yusuke said. "Which one of us will go?"

"I should," said Kurama. "I more experience with the demon world than either you or Kuwabara, and besides, she was my responsibility in the first place."

"Okay then," said Yusuke. "But what should the rest of us do?"

"Go back to Koenma. I'll contact you there." And with that, Kurama took the cube and teleported into the unknown.


Kaori and Tomayo had entered the demon world with out much incident, unless you count Kaori trying to escape half a dozen times. The last time, Tomayo had gotten really mad. "If you try to escape anymore, you will be very, very sorry," he had said menacingly. Kaori had stayed with him after that.

They walked into a dingy little pub. "Stay close to me," Tomayo said. "There are some bad characters in here."

"And you aren't one?" Kaori replied.

Tomayo walked up to the counter, Kaori trailing close behind. He had some words with the bar tender then they all went off into a shadowy corner. Tomayo was talking with the bar keeper, and Kaori was just standing there, bored. She didn't have anything better to do than being there, anyway. A couple of times a demon had come up and tried to make a move on her. The second time, she sent him through the wall. She was left in peace after that.

After a while, Tomayo and the bar keeper finished their conversation, which Kaori supposed was about the amulet. She hadn't cared enough to listen too closely. They were about to leave the bar when, with an almighty crash, something fell through the roof.

Chaos ensued. Demons were running around everywhere, pushing tables and anything else that got in their way. From the point of the crash emerged a human. He had red hair and piercing green eyes. When the demons saw it was just a human, they laughed. When the human pulled out a rose, it only made them laugh harder. They stopped laughing when the rose turned into a thorny whip which killed several of their fellows.

That started the murmuring, which turned into shouts and an all out attack. There is no way the human could have survived that, Kaori thought. But when the dust cleared, there was the red-headed human, surrounded by the bodies of dead demons. He looked up, and straight into her eyes. Something in the back of her memory stirred. She felt as if she knew this human from somewhere. But before she could remember anything, Tomayo had grabbed her and they were gone.


Kurama just stood in the rubble, surrounded by the bodies of the dead demons. He had watched the kitsune girl flee, without knowing it was exactly who he was looking for.


A/N: That was it! Once again, I apologize for taking so long. One thing I want you to remember; Kaori doesn't know about Suichi Minamino. And he doesn't know about her. Different time set. Okay please review!
