CHAPTER 2

When lunch came, Yuri was waiting for Kurama outside his classroom. His group of fan-girls looked on in disgust. "She waits for him outside his class. How clingy!"

Kurama walked up to Yuri and they left. Looking for secret places , they decided the roof might be deserted. Together, they climbed the stairs to the roof. Sure enough no one was there. Yuri sat down and pulled Kurama to sit down as well. They grinned and leaned in to "kiss".

Suddenly, a voice from above (dun dun duuun ) "Do you always make out when you two are alone?"

Kurama and Yuri had just looked as Hiei appeared in front of them. They blushed as crimson as Hiei's eyes at being caught in the act. Kurama spoke first, snapping out of his embarassment, "I very much doubt you would interrupt us just to that, Hiei."

Hiei merely smirked and replied "I just came to see if you were alright or not. Especially after your encounters with those rabid ningens." After saying that, he disappeared.

Kurama and Yuri both sighed. Then Yuri said, "I guess we should go now.."

They gathered their stiff and walked down the stairs. When the pair reached the bottom of the stairs, they heard someone yelling, "Kurama!" Yuri and Kurama turned to see who was yelling and saw Kuwabara running towards them.

"Kurama! There's something important that I need to tell you! Yusuke was kidnapped!" Kurama coveredKuwabara's mouth and brought him to the side.

"Kuwabara... Be careful of what name you use. People know me as Shuichi here. Now tell me, do you know who kidnapped Yusuke?" At this point, he let go of him and glanced around for people. Slightly out of breath, Kuwabara replied, "All we found was a letter."

He pulled a crumpled up piece of paper and handed it to Kurama. After reading the letter, Kurama nodded. "Well now.." Kuwabara dumbly asked, "Are we going to get him back or not?"

Yuri smacked herself in the head as Kurama replied "Naturally." Using his famous one worded line. ( He sounds so hot when he says that! ) Then Botan appeared out of nowhere. "Would you know where Hiei is?" Yuri spoke this time, "We saw him only a little bit ago. Though, we dont know where he went."

"Okay then, I suppose we will just have to find him." Botan began walking to the back of the school. The others followed her out and into the woods behind the school. She stopped just a little ways from the edge. Pulling out a whistle she explained, "This is a Demon Whistle. Only demons can hear it." Botan started to blow on the whistle then stopped, looking at Yuri and Kurama. "You might want to cover your ears." As they covered their ears as she suggested, she blew into the whistle. After several seconds, Hiei fell out of a tree. Botan smiled as Kurama and Yuri placed their hands at their sides. They watched a grumbling Hiei stand up and dust himself off.

He looked up at Kurama and Yuri, "Nice to know that you two aren't making out anymore."

Kuwabara looked dumbstruck, "Eww... You guys were sucking each others faces? I bet you have even done IT!" Both Kurama and Yuri looked very agitated by this point. "Actually, Kuwabara, we haven't done it... " Kurama said trying to control himself.

Then grinning, Yuri pointed out, "Not in this lifetime at least." Botan laughed nervously as Kuwabara held his head and yelled "AHH! Now I've got mental pitcures in my head!"

Hiei was clutching his katana menacingly. "I can relieve you of those images, you baka."

Botan, now realizing what was happening, yelled at them. "Can we please worry about Yusuke? This is important! Who knows what they are doing to him?" They all looked at her and nodded. Kurama turned to Botan and asked, "When are we planning on going to this place?" He indicated the letter in his hand. Botan blinked "Well... Now of course!"

"I'm going with you!" Yuri said, standing beside Kurama.

He shook his head and turned to Hiei. "Since you are the fastest, Hiei, could you please take Yuri home?" Hiei nodded and Yuri pouted at Kurama "But I want to go!" He took her by the shoulders and said sternly "No. We don't know yet of the dangers. So it's best if you just stay home." She grumbled as Hiei appeared behind her. He grabbed her around the waist and disappeared.
