At first, the three of them ate in silence until Shiori spoke, "I don't mind if you two are having fun, just be sure you're safe!"
Yuri smiled as Kurama choked on his food. "Don't worry Shiori-san, we haven't done that yet. We are waiting 'till we are older." Shiori placed her hands on Yuri's shoulder, "That's good! I'm glad. So, tell me… just how well does my son kiss?"
At this, Kurama had fallen onto the floor and went swirly eyed. Yuri glanced at him, sweat-dropped, and turned back to Shiori whispering. "Hehe.. Well, he's the best I've ever had!" She placed a finger to her lips and smirked. Eventually, Kurama snapped out of his previous state and joined the girls in finishing breakfast. After they were done, they began cleaning up. Kurama helped Yuri with the dishes as Shiori wiped the counters and the table.
Kurama turned to Shiori, "Mother, I am going to hang out with Yusuke and Kuwabara. I'll be gone most of the day." She nodded and smiled, "Why don't you spend the night at one of their houses?" He thought for a moment then gave a nod, "I'm sure we'll go to Yusuke's."
Yuri glanced at him, hopeful to be able to at least go to Yusuke's apartment. Kurama saw her and shook his head 'No.' She sighed and continued with the dishes. When they finished, Shiori headed off to work. Yuri walked with Kurama to the door and gave on last effort, "Please can I at least go with you to Yusuke's apartment!" He sighed and embraced her, "Please understand. I don't want to lose you like I almost lost my mother." She pouted at him, "Yes, and what about you? If you die, I swear I'll go to Reikai and beat your soul bloody!" Kurama smiled at her, "Okay, I'll keep that in mind. Now, I will see you later." Yuri nodded, "Alright, bye bye-bu!" He kissed her on the cheek and headed toward the elevator. Though, before he pressed the button on the wall, he turned toward the window. She shook her head as he grinned back at her and leapt out. Yuri went back into the apartment and closed the door. Walking to her room, she decided to take a nap for the time being.
Meanwhile, Kurama had gotten together with Yusuke, Kuwabara, Botan, and Genkai. They got on a train and went to Mushiyori City, where they met Kaitou, Kido, and Yana. All of them split into two groups. Kurama leading Kaitou, Kuwabara, and Botan. Yusuke with Genkai, Kido, and Yana. Each went their own ways to search for an clues that might lead them to the one opening the portal.
As they walked about Mushiyori City, Yuri eventually woke up. She got up and went over to the window. Summoning some plants, she commanded them to find Shiori and protect her while remaining unnoticed. The plants obeyed and moved along the walls and ground. Yuri smiled after them, then stood in the middle of the room. She held a seed in her palm. With ease, she transformed it into a black rose. Holding it in the air, she concentrated her spirit energy. The rose began to glow a radiant red color as her energy flowed into it. She called out, "Rose Whip!" and the black rose transformed into a long rope, lined with thorns. She looked at it proudly and jumped up and down slightly. "Yes! I did it perfectly!" Grinning to herself, she walked to the desk and pulled out some paper. Picking up a pen, she wrote a note to Shiori. She grabbed a little backpack and packed some essentials. Seeds, toothbrush, toothpaste, a brush, some money, and a map. Yuri walked out to the kitchen, backpack on, and set the note on the counter. She opened the front door and locked it behind her.
She made her way to Yusuke's apartment, knowing that they would be there. It was night-time as she approached the apartment building. She began walking up the stairs of the building. When Yuri reached the top of the stairs, she found five young guys holding beers in their hands. They stood between her and Yusuke's apartment door, which was further down the hallway. Without a glance, she proceeded to walk past them. Before she was able to step any further past them, the blocked her path. Yuri turned slightly and found she was blocked from behind as well. They looked at her hungarily, then one of them grabbed Yuri's wrist firmly.
"Why don't you come in our apartment, sweetheart? We'll show you a real good time!"
She tried to pull her wrist from the drunken man's grip, but was only grabbed by two others. Her eyes widened and she realized she would not be able to summon a plant. If she did, she might possibly lose control of the plant and have the death of five people on her hands. Desperately, she continued to struggle. Then, on opened the door to his apartment and they began to effortlessly drag her through. Yuri cried out as she was being forced across the small length to the door. "Please! Let go of me!" They laughed loudly and ignored her pleas for help, one replying. "Don't worry... We are going to help you loosen up!"
