Telepathic conversations

Flash Back/Poem

The warehousewas on the out skirts of town. It was run down and basically looked abandoned. No one would have thought it was the headquarters for a demon organization.

"Are you sure this is the right place Urameshi?"

"This is were Koenma said." Yusuke said.

"Maybe he was wrong. I don't sense anything. Do you guys?" Kuwabara said to Hiei and Kurama.

"No. But they probably are blocking it like Hiei can for example." Kurama said.

"I guess we should just storm the place." Yusuke said with a confused look.

"Gee that's a great plan ,Urameshi. Lets just go in and blow everything up?" Kuwabara said to Yusuke looking extremely annoyed.

"Hey! So what do you think we should do, Kuwabara? Sit here and stare at it all day!" Yusuke yelled.

"It'd be better than going in blind!"

"Would you both shut up!"

Both teen turned to look at him. Kurama was shocked that he'd just yelled at them. His head was pounding and his wrist ached. There voices were killing him.

"Kurama's right. Both of your plans are stupid " Hiei said looking at Kurama.

What's wrong with you?

Nothing. I have a headache.

You seem to have those a lot now.

"Um Kurama....You okay?" Kuwabara asked with a worried look.

He's so.... Innocent, Kurama thought. He's never killed someone just to kill. He's never had someone innocent beg for there life at his feet.

I envy him

I envy Kuwabara.

"I'm fine. I think we should try a surprise attack. That should be our best plan." He said with a confident smile.

On the inside he felt anything but confident. He wanted to cut himself. To feel that sweet pain and forget about the world around him. To stop dreaming about his past.

"Crap! Here comes someone!" Yusuke said quickly as voices approached. The group quickly moved behind the warehouse's side.

"If any of you say a thing, I will kill you" Hiei said glaring at Yusuke and Kuwabara.

The group barely breathed as two demons disguised as humans walked by. Kurama was almost positive they were drunk. They were swaying as they walked and the smell of liquor overwhelmed him despite the distance.

"Oi! Bossss Issss gonna kill us for being thisssss late!" One slurred.

"Eh? Oh well. All we have to do is kill that lady we picked up this mornin' an well be good to go!" The other replied.

"Ha! Remember how she cried! Screamed for 'er mother the whole time!" said the first.

"More fun when they beg."

They all flinched at the demons words. Before Kurama could grasp what was happening, he heard a scream and the sound of something heavy hitting the ground. A moment later Hiei reappeared his sword still drawn. It was covered in blood.

"Okay....I think we should go in now." Yusuke said quietly as he and Kuwabara nodded.

What are we getting ourselves into.

The warehouse was dark and empty looking. Kurama didn't know what he was expecting to see maybe, bodies, demons....something. But not emptiness.

"Be careful. There's something here. Don't drop your guard." Yusuke said quietly, his arms up, ready to fire his spirit gun. The others nodded and drew their weapons.

Kurama's whim felt oddly heavy in his hands. It had been a while since he'd used it for something besides cutting.

No one dared make a noise as they slowly began to move to the back of the giant room. He could since there fear. For some odd reason an odd sense of peace and calm fell over him.

Whatever happens doesn't really matter. If I die it will be an escape. If not, well back to my retched existence. Nothing mattered anymore.

"Good god!" Kuwabara yelled in horror pointing at something.

Kurama jumped as he saw what caused Kuwabara to cry out. Bodies littered the back of the ware house. Blood coated the floor, along with lost appendages. Strange torture devices lined the walls. The smell of death ruled the area. For a moment no one said any thing.

"Oh...Oh..G..God" Yusuke mumbled looking green.

"Some are still alive. But there minds are gone. There's nothing left worth saving" Hiei said quietly. Kurama was shocked at the part kroomies reaction to the death and decay around them. He was normally the cold collected one, the human hater. If Kurama had to pick the one of them that would be the least affected it would have been Hiei. But he was wrong.

The fire demon was crying. Yusuke and Kuwabara hadn't noticed, and probably wouldn't but Kurama saw the tear gems glittering against the blood on the floor.

"Some of these are kids. Innocent little kids." Kuwabara said weakly.

Some of the bodies caught Kurama's eye. It was a young woman holding a small child with a teen age girl beside her. The woman and girl were pretty with brown hair and green eyes that were still open, frozen with fear. The girl was missing her clothes. Probably mother and daughter. A mother had died trying to protect her family.

Someone had slaughtered innocence.

Just like him.

FLASHBACK

"please, I beg of you take me but not my baby. She's still young! Please." the woman begged shielding the young child in her arms. The youkai in front of her gave a harsh laugh.

"Quite, you miserable human. You and your little brat are both worthless. Neither of you deserve to live." And with that the kitsune lashed his whip out upon the woman killing her and her baby on impact.

The rest of the woman's village lay in ruin around him. She and the child were the only survivors of the raid. Well had been the only survivors of the raid. As he surveyed the wreckage around him he tipped his head back and laughed a harsh cold laugh. A soulless laugh.....................

"No have mercy!"

"Please not my family!"

People fled at the mere mention of his name. He was one of the most feared demons in the Rekai. He slaughtered whole family's with out blinking.

Everyone feared Yoko Kurama

"I beg of you, take the girl! She's young! A virgin!"

The man was a rich merchant. He was a tyrant. Cold blooded and selfish, he offered his only daughter in exchange for his own life.

The girl was young and pretty. She wore a silver silk kimono and tear stains own her cheek. Yet she still tried to smile at him.

"Hmmm... Akkito Asakura. She's pretty all right, but is she worth your life?" Yoko said a smile on his lips. This was the part he loved. When they begged. Forgot every thing else but the will to live. Oh how he loved that sweet terror in their eyes.

"Sir, is there anything I can get you?" Sakura Asakura asked. she'd grown greatly during her time with him. She was still beautiful ,but with one immense change. She'd stopped smiling Her eyes were dead She was dead on the inside.

She'd been like that ever since her father had sold her for his life. Only to be murdered the next day.

He should have known. No one can escape Yoko Kurama.

"Master we found Sakura!" The demon said breathlessly as he kneeled at his masters feet.

"Bring her to me." He said quietly. Malice glittered in his eyes. His aura reeked of loathing.

"Um....... We can't sir." The demon said cowering in fear of his masters rage.

"What do you mean you can't?" Kurama asked.

"She's dead sir. She killed herself. Ayumi found her in the forest with the blade still in her hand." The demon said cowering in fear of his masters rage.

For a moment he just stood there in silence blinking slowly. Then a smile crossed his lips.

"Fine. Leave. And tell Ayumi to change and come to my chambers." The kitsune said still smiling as the disgruntled demon backed out.

No one escapes Yoko Kurama.

END FLASHBACK

"KUARAMA! WHATCH OUT!"

Demons were coming out of the wood work. They were all over the place and more were coming . Yet the kitsune just stood there his green eyes blank his whip held lightly.

"SPIRIT GUN!" Yusuke yelled launching into his signature attack.

Sakura.....When was the last time he thought of her? She had been so pure. He had killed her, not the blade. He had murdered her family, including her tyrant father who sold his own daughter without blinking. But she was one of many. So many young girls he'd taken, violated the murdered. Sakura, Eri, Emi, Kagome, Rin, Chika, Ayumi, so many innocents lost. All because of him.

"Kitsune! Snap out of it.!"

Kurama blinked shocked. He was on the floor covered in blood. Hiei had tackled his, saving him from one of the many attacking demons. Yusuke and Kuwabara were fighting near by.

"Damn! Get up!" Hiei said picking himself up. Quickly Kurama got uop and drew his whip, launching in to an attack.

His mind went blank. It had been so long since he'd been in battle. It felt so normal, so right. For a few minute he was himself again.

A/N Okay I'm terrible with fight scenes so were just gonna skip ahead 'kay?

The demons were gone. They weren't very powerful and were no match for the detectives. Kurama felt good almost happy.

"Okay...So what do we do now?" Kuwabara asked from the other side of the room.

"Lets spread out. See if you can find anyone." Yusuke said in response.

Kurama slowly began to walk to the back wall of the ware house trying not to step on any of the bodies covering the floor. He was careful not to look at the mother and her children.

The walls of the ware house had chains hanging down from them. Some bodies still dangled from them. Blood and mucus spattered the walls. Kurama was suddenly aware of the smell of the place. His eyes began to water as memories and sense matched, forming horrid pictures in his mind. His high of a few minutes ago faded

Sometimes I wanna keep on living

Keep on hearing life's call

But then Hopes lifted High

down depressions endless fall

Daisuke comes in next chap. You learn about he and Kurama's past. Warring cliffhanger
