Tricks and Lies
Yusuke nodded as he ran off as fast as he could with his injury. ' Damn it… why couldn't I see his attack coming… I must have really gotten careless… I just hope I can find Kurama before I find Kuronue.'
Fresh blood dripped from his wound as he ran. " Curse him… This is just one fucked up day… I'll be glad when it's over."
Yusuke tried to locate Kurama's energy but it was hard to track. ' Kurama can be just as bad as Hiei when he doesn't want to be found.'
As he ran he noticed how in some areas the grass was warn down… as if the path was taken before. Yusuke followed it. Up ahead Yusuke caught a glimpse of Kurama.
Kurama could smell the sent of newly drawn blood. He narrowed his eyes when he saw Yusuke running toward him. " Kurama!" Yusuke shouted.
Kurama looked at his 'friend.' " Yusuke… what can I do for you?" The spirit fox noticed the blood dripping down to the floor. " What happen to you?"
" I got in a fight with Kuronue."
Kurama was shocked for a moment. " You fought with…." His voice began to grow in volume. The spirit fox was clearly getting angry at this and he reached up into his hair.
Yusuke placed his hands up in defense. " Kurama… hear me out before you go waving that whip around…"
Kurama took his hand away from his hair and started to listen to Yusuke.
" Alright Yusuke… I'll listen."
" Kuronue came up to me and started to act pretty normal. But Hiei caught him in a lie and he attacked us. The both of us tried our best not to hurt Kuronue. As a result of all this Kuronue got his hands on the Spirit Sphere… and before I could stop him he disappeared."
Kurama was shocked by what he heard. " How do I know that what you just told me isn't a lie?"
" I wouldn't lie to you Kurama… believe me… Kuronue isn't the same person you knew him to be."
Kurama narrowed his eyes and glared at Yusuke. " He wouldn't do this… I know him. Something must have happened. Everything about this whole mess doesn't smell right to me."
Yusuke continued to listen to his friend intently. This time around he was going to hear Kurama out and be fair about this. " I believe that Kuronue is a victim of these power hungry demons. They must have turned Kuronue against me if what you say is true."
" Kurama…. I'm sorry…. I know he was your friend."
Kurama's eyes narrowed. " He's not lost to me yet! I will save him."
Yusuke despite what he wanted began to lose his temper. " Kurama he tried to kill me!"
" He's being controlled somehow… it's the only explanation."
Suddenly a rustling noise could be heard. Kurama and Yusuke looked in the direction of noise. " Whose that?"
Kuronue came out of the bushes. " Kurama… I'm glad I found you."
" Kuronue?" Kurama questioned.
" It's me Kurama…. I'm alright."
Yusuke eyed Kuronue with suspicion. ' He's trying to play that trick again…'
Kuronue looked at Yusuke. " Funny that I ran into you too."
" We did a while ago."
Kuronue cocked his head. " Did we? I don't think so."
" We did… you gave me this!" Yusuke showed his wound.
Kuronue looked at the wound for a moment. " I never would hurt you…."
" Oh yeah." Yusuke said in his wise ass tone. " Well then where did this come from!" Yusuke went into Kuronue's pocket and started to look for the Spirit Sphere.
Kuronue looked at Yusuke. " What are you looking for?"
" I know you have it!" Yusuke shouted.
" I don't!" Kuronue shouted.
Kurama narrowed his eyes. " Stop it Yusuke."
Yusuke pulled out the Sphere. " See!"
Kurama was shocked to see the Sphere in Yusuke's hands. " Kuronue…"
" I didn't steal it from anyone!"
" Then how did you get it?"
" Koruri placed it on me."
" Lies…" Yusuke shouted.
Kurama narrowed his eyes and formed his rose whip. " Enough!"
Yusuke stepped back in fear. " Kurama…. Please…."
Kuronue smiled on the inside. ' Deception is always the best tool… these two will kill each other… and we will get everything we need!'
To be continued…
