A/N: All i have to say about that last chapter was...It was called premonitions for a reason. If you don't know what that means, get a dictionary.

Yusuke had decided to take a shower....Being as he smelled and Kayko let him know. 'Bless that girl, she's more concerned about my scent than her grades he thought.

He turned the handle as water came splashing down onto his head. It was time to do some serious thinking about all that had happened.

Alright, first Kurama gets beaten by some demon, Yukina gets attacked, I pass out like 89 times, and now that crazy dream! Either someone's not letting in on something they know, or things are going to start to get really wrong, really soon.

Yusuke lathered the shampoo in his hands and gently massaged his scalp. After all, a clean Spirit Detective was a happy one.When he stuck his head under the downpour of water, two words popped up in his head. Fuedal Demons. He didn't know why, but once he thought those words, and even mumbled them aloud, they felt significant. Like they were the last piece to some huge puzzle.

He put his hands on his head and sighed. Another headache, only this one made the others look like bumps in the head. Yusuke doubled over in painand let out a soft yelp. Making sure all the soap was out of his hair, he turned off the water and went to the sink.

Then he realized something. Every headache occured in the same spot, the top of his head. He widened his eyes, remembering something had fallen on his head earlier. He began to search his head, looking for anything on it in the mirror.

What Yusuke saw stunned him. The cause of all his pain and weirdness was a nanobyte. Just as he was about to put his hand on it to flick it off, it gave him a pinching sensation, and he was out like a light.

His head slapped against the sink, then pounded on the hard, slippery floor.

Slowly, he opened his eyes. It was a painful feeling, but he had to. He had to tell someone. Warn someone. Once his eyes were fully focused, he saw Hiei, sitting at the foot of his bed.

"...Hi..ei..." Yusuke whispered, having difficulty speaking.

Hearing his name, Hiei flung himself off the bed and stood.

" ...Hi....ei.......need....K...Ku...rama......."

"Okay, I'll get him, just hold on a second. Hold on."

Hiei ran out the door, leaving Yusuke to hear nothing but the pounding of his small feet rushing down the stairs.

Hold on. He had said it so freely. As if holding on was easy. Throughout everything, Yusuke had managed to hold on. never once did he doubt himself. But now, doubting was all he could do as he felt time thining in his fist.

Hold on. They were such encouraging words, making everything seem alright. Especially when Hiei said it.

All of a sudden, Kurama was by Yusuke's side. Kneeling, clutching his hand. Interrupting him from his thoughts.

But not completely.

Something inside of Yusuke told him to let go. Give up. Everything would seem so much better.He was so weak, to just give in would even refresh him. Just stop holding on. Stop for a few minutes. Let go....

He gave in. Yusuke let go. But a few minutes later, he couldn't come back. He felt as if he was standing in the room, watching Kurama try to carry a conversation with his body. He saw his eyes glaze over. Kurama saw it too.

"Yuske! Yusuke, are you alright??"

He saw himself placing one hand on Kurama's cheek, pulling him in...slowly....Then, his vacant body threw the arm around his neck and hugged. The other arm coming out of the covers, as if it was the hand of death.

Which is exactly what it was.

Yusuke watched helplessly as the hand drew out of the covers, holding a knife, getting ready to plunge it into Kurama's back. He couldn't tolerate another death. He pushed Kurama out of the way, slamming him head-first into the wall as he, himself, was stabbed in the right shoulder-blade.

Suddenly, Yusuke was back in his body. A bloody Kurama lay on top of him.

"Yusuke.........why?" he asked, gazing up at his friend with extreme sorrow, then collapsing unconciously.

He felt the nanobyte fly off his head, into the unknown.

He heard the clicking of heels...boots.....walking across a hard floor. Looking up, he saw Hiei emerging from the shadows.

"It...wasn't....me.....I--"

Hiei put his finger to Yusuke's lips.

"It's alright, Detective. I saw the whole thing. Everything." He pushed Kurama off of Yusuke. Rolling him onto the foot of the bed. "Stand up. Now."

Meekly, Yusuke did as he was told.

Hiei drew out his sword. The sound of the unsheathing echoed in the room for what seemed like an eternity. He aimed the blade directly under Yusuke's chin.

"Well, Detective. Are you ready?" Hiei asked eagerly, staring at Yusuke, who could tell something about him was different.

His aura had changed completely, though Yusuke was too weak to decifer whether it was a good or bad change. But he did notice this.

Blood.

Blood was trickling slowly down Hiei's ear. Down, dripping off the lobe,
Blood was trickling off of Hiei's eye teeth, like a vampire after sucking on his prey.

"Ready........ready...for what?" Yusuke asked with a puzzled expression on his face.

"To-" Hiei disappeared, but not for long. Yusuke felt his presence behind him "DIE?!?!?!" with the handle of his sword, he rammed it against the pressure point behind Yusuke's neck.

However, he had both the time and strength to make this realization.

The nanobyte had gotten Hiei.
