Hey! Good buddies how life is. Very quickly, for we get started I'd like to thank dark Latias for the entertaining round up of the scary horde of Kurama fans they were getting kind a scary there. I swear if you turned your head fast enough you could see there, eyes glow red. It was scary…now on with da story.

Chapter 4

The other side

Then out of nowhere, a bright black portal appeared. It was as if the portal had its own aura and it was strong. Stronger then most auras though it was brought by dark energy the portal itself was what seemed like a mix of good energy and it was like a healer as the spirit detectives were caught and dragged through.

On the other side, they found them in a beautiful forest in front of a temple that look somewhat like Genkai's but as they drew closer, they saw it change.

It turned form the lush gardens and tall trees to black gardens and trees that bent over and seemed to make one feel uncomfortable. The trees looked as if they were to fall upon you in seconds (They stood strong though with no intention of falling).

"So what do you think their going to do with us?" Kuwabara asked as he lend towards Yusuke.

POP! Kuwabara was hit upside the back of his head by what felt like part of a fishing pole…you know, the REAL FLEXIBLE part…he yelped.

"Stay away from each other! No talking!" the man yelled as he raised the rod to pop the boy again cause he had almost slipped and was now lagging behind.

"Stop it, or I'll pop you with that you fool!" A man had walked out of the doors that the group seemed to be headed straight for; he was tall at least 7'4'', he had piercing moonlight eyes that stared that them through dark brown shaggy hair. He stood smiling at Kurama for a few minutes then finally as they got up to the steps he said some thing, apparently directed toward Kurama.

"I've heard of you…you must be…" there was a pause, "Yoko…No Kurama…No Suuichi…"

He's Yoko. His human name is Suuichi the friends and others also call him Kurama around him. Now whip that happy look off your face. It's scary.

"…Yoko…" the man said in a curious manner to see what the red head would do.

Kurama just stood there looking at him then gave a false smile "Yes I am."

"Well, how nice; we have the man I've been looking for, for quiet some time and the girls he hangs out with to…it's a real big step down don't you think form the demons you used to hang with down to worthless humans that can hardly hold their own against…" he stopped seeing the look on Kurama's face. "Are you seriously thinking of protecting them…humans? Who wouldn't protect you in the same…"

(A/N: He referred to Yusuke and Kuwabara as girls ignoring that Hiei was there. He tends to leave people/ creatures out a lot)

"You'd be surprised how much they back each other up. Unlike your theory 'all for one and none for all'." Kurama interrupted.

"Come on in now it's going to rain. Don't want to get our new pets wet can't have them getting sick. No, No. Can't have that." The man said quickly.

"What do you mean pet, and I'm NOT A GIRL! Who are you anyway?" Yusuke yelled.

"Oh, someone is cranky. Oh Yes I've forgotten to introduce myself. I am Secunia. Oh yes you will be our faithful pets before long you'll see it will be fun. You'll practically get pampered." The man said, Kitsune in the back ground shaking her head with a grin as if to say true, true. (A/N: If you have not noticed, which it was somewhat hard to see Kitsune is not of free will she has control of many things but Secunia is her master and she is uncomfortable about being on a leash as one might say.)
"They seem strong so put them in the chains." Secunia whispered to a man beside him, "put them in different rooms and make sure they can't find/see each other."

He turned back to the four that stood there quiet and unmoving they couldn't move they had be paralyzed when walking in the room.

A mark carved in to the wall on this side of the doorway. The mark's glowing not a good thing… Kurama was brought back to a foot in his back that made him fall to the floor.

"Hay! DON"T DO THAT AGAIN, REIGN!" Kitsune yelled as the 7'1 demon that dragged Kurama by the back of his shirt over to the doorway.

"You hurt him and I swear your dead!" Kitsune yelled.

"You act as if you care for him…is it true little Kit. Has a soft spot for a fool?" Reign turned quickly to look at Kitsune. Kitsune smacked him.

"Shut up!" Kitsune yelled.

Reign getting mad that she actually smacked him walked out of the room dragging Kurama now by his right foot. Kurama was helplessly being dragged in to anything and every thing down the hallway, starting with the knock on his head from slamming into the doorway on the way out of the room. The stairs were the last straw the thumping against the back of his already throbbing, bleeding head was just enough to knock him out.
When he woke he was in a cell like white room with what looked to be blessed shackles at his wrists no dough the others were wearing the same things. He looked around to see Kitsune staring at him as she was seated on the other side of the room.

"You're awake? Well that bleeding was bad. I hope you didn't mind I had Shadow change your clothes."

Kurama looked at the Dark blue, baggy pants and the ivory color shirt that he was now wearing.

"You friends are okay their around here and there." Kitsune continued.

"I can't tell you were though because that would be no fun if you got free. Though big dough's on that one those shackles wont open until I wish it and then with the proper permeation maybe. I wish it didn't have to be this was, Yoko."

"Why did…you do…this, Kitsumie?" Kurama asked.

"My dear Kurama I did this for you. However, you declined on some thing you were to far in to start with. Hay around lunch we loosen your chains and then play fun, fun music for all. If you need any thing just call, kay?" Kitsune said as she turned to walk away. "Oh and don't tell any one I was here." Then she walked away.

"Master. Please tell me a story. Please." A younger Kitsune said.

She was at least 200 then (she's about 753 years old that as far back as she can remember at least) she looked up and as the memory became less blurry Kurama say that Kitsune's Dark warm eyes stared up at Kurama.

"Okay." He smiled, "once upon a time there was a man who fell in love with the Angel of Death." The memory started to fade as he was being shaken awake by cold hands the last thing he heard was himself say…"And then the world shook..."

He was awake staring up at a man and Kitsune staring at him.

"Shadow is he okay?" Kitsune whispered.

"Kurama what's wrong?" Shadow said as he felt Kurama's head for signs of a fever and in fact, he had one.

"Nothings wrong I'm fine." Kurama said as he looked at shadow who refused to believe it. Shadow popped a thermometer in Kurama's mouth and waited.

The thing beeped twice and shadow pulled the thermometer from Kurama's mouth. It was flashing 107 degrees.

"You're not fine! You sick…what happened? You were so fine until…it might be this room your subcontuosly hating this room for some reason.

"Kit. You know how much Master loves a healthy pet. Therefore, he will understand if He was moved. Take him some where you know he will not escape…Your room! There take him there." Shadow said as if he were talking guy to guy.

Kitsune blushed, "I can't do that! He has not been in my room for…" thinking for a second, "…well Decades! And he can't stay in my room; you know how mad master would get!" Master mad gladly. Give him here he can sleep in my bed. Cannot say it that pain has candy cams everywhere. Must make it look like he forced me to…

"Come on, Kit. He's your play toy." Shadow turned just in time to see Kitsune almost punch him but stopped in mid-punch.

"Fine, but he gets chained to the. Never know when he's going to wakie wake." She said in a low tone.

"Oh so naughty of you, Kit." Shadow said as he started to laugh only to be hit in the head.

"You Hentai. Don't take every thing I say and twist it like that." Kitsune said as she picked Kurama up breaking the chains and walked down the hall towards the door. "Come on loser before I lock you in that cell permanently…Wait…" She said thinking for a second. "…that sounds like fun…Hi, Hiei." She said as she caught a glimpse of Hiei locked down to the wall and staring straight at her.

She laughed as he squirmed and the purple eye glowed on his forehead.

"Your so funny, Hiei….don't worry just moving my dear to a nicer room he's not feeling to good and we don't want our pet to be, unhealthy. You understand?"

Hiei just stared at her as she moved farther towards the door; Shadow started to open the door for her as she walked away.
