An: Ok, I'm sorry it took me so long to update, it's just hard because I completely redid my whole image of Kurama to myself. I don't think that he could actually talk to Youko seeing as they are the same person.

They don't share a body, because they have the same soul. So really it isn't 'they', it's him. If that makes any sense to anyone else. So if it does, that's good. If it doesn't, just ignore this Author's note.

Besides that, it's hard to find motivation to write. I am into whole vampire thing right now.Currently I am reading 'Interview with a vampire'. Seriously, Anne Rice is an insanely goodwriter. It's like, you fall into the book or something,then before you know it, you've already read 40 pages. Or that' how it is with me.

Anyways, here is the next chapter. I am getting close to the ending. Yay!

"Wow Ryoichi, your apartment is amazing!" Kohana exclaimed as she stared at the living room in awe. Ryoichi laughed lightly. "Thanks Kohana. I will make sure to tell the interior designer that you approve." He said and picked up the suitcases she just put down.

"Do you want me to show you your room?" He asked. The only response he got was Kohana nodded her head. She was completely entranced by his TV. It was huge. "Ok this way." He said and put his hand on her lower back, pushing her lightly to prompt her to walk.

"It is just down the hallway." He said as his excitement grew more intense. When he first moved into this apartment, he had that room decorated so it would appeal to her. He couldn't wait to see her reaction. "It's that door right there." He whispered in her ear and pointed to a door at the end on the hallway.

She smiled and walked ahead of him. "This one?" She asked. "Yes." He said and she opened the door. The room was indeed beautiful. The walls were a creamy yellow colour, and in the middle of the room was a gorgeous four poster bed. Kohana's eyes widened in delight.

"It's beautiful!" She said and Ryoichi smiled proudly. Kohana twirled around and threw her arms around Ryoichi, hugging him tightly. "Thank you so much! I am so glad that Kurama said it was alright that I stayed over for a couple of days." She said, making Ryoichi feel guilty. He forgot that he had lied to her.

"Well, I will let you get organized. I will make dinner later, so tell me what you want when you are finished." He said and quickly left the room. Kohana just looked at the spot where he was just standing. 'He sure is acting weird lately.' She thought and surveyed the room again.

"Oh well." She said to herself and grabbed her suitcase. 'I could get use to this room.' She thought as she started to unpack.

-Half an hour later-

"Ryoichi, where is the phone?" Kohana asked when she had finally finished unpacking. Well, actually she finished unpacking after only 5 minutes, the other 25 she spent reading.

"Why?" Ryoichi asked. He was currently sitting the couch, watching some random television show. "Well, I just want to phone Yukina and them. You know, to check in and see how things are." She replied. 'Shit.' Ryoichi thought as he stood up and plastered on a fake smile.

"Well when I talked to Kurama on the phone, he said that you didn't have to check in. In fact he said he would prefer it if you didn't." Ryoichi said and Kohana stared at him. "Oh." she replied and looked down at the floor.

"What's a matter?" He asked and Kohana shrugged her shoulders. "Nothing." She murmured. Ryoichi sighed and walked over to her.

"Tell me. You know that I could always tell when things were wrong." He said and Kohana looked up at him. Instantly when their eyes connected, he felt even more guilty. She looked so depressed, and on the brink of crying. "Did he sound mad when he talked to you?" She asked and Ryoichi looked confused for a moment.

"No. Why would he be?" He asked and Kohana sighed in relief. "No reason." She said and Ryoichi frowned.

"Your lying tell me." He demanded and Kohana walked over to the couch. "Really, it isn't anything serious Ryoichi. When I told him I was going to be hanging out with you, he just seemed a little mad. So I was surprised when you said he said it was ok if I stayed over." She said as she sat down.

"Oh. Even if he had said no, it's up to you if you want to come over here. You are an adult and you can make your own decisions." Ryoichi explained and earned a glare from Kohana. He sat down beside her on the couch. "I know that. I just didn't want anyone to worry." Kohana said and Ryoichi nodded his head.

"That's not what is bothering you though." He stated and Kohana nodded her head. "I'm just confused." She said and put her head in her hands.

"I really like him, but how can we even think about being together. He is with my sister. Sure I hate her, but I couldn't do that to her." She whispered, more to herself then to Ryoichi. Ryoichi rolled his eyes, and put a hand on her back.

"Don't worry about it. If you really like him, it shouldn't matter. Besides, stop looking so sad. I am sure they will visit soon or something." Ryoichi said, while rubbing her back. "What do you mean?" She asked, but Ryoichi never answered.

He was to wrapped up in his thoughts. 'They should be finding my letter soon. I guess we will fins out soon how much they really care about Kohana.' He thought and Kohana shook her head. "Let's watch a movie or something. I am not going to be worried about something so stupid." Kohana said.

'Will they really be able to chose between Suki and Kohana?' He thought as Kohana went through his DVD collection.

-With guys-

"Hello Yusuke. How was your date with Keiko?" Kurama asked Yusuke as he walked into the living room. "Good. How was Kohana's date with Ryoichi?" Yusuke asked and Kurama clenched his teeth.

"It wasn't a date. You heard her, they are just hanging out. I don't know if she is home, she could be in her room." Kurama replied, his anger and jealousy pushed aside. Yusuke smirked when he saw how Kurama lost his cool. "I wonder if she will even come home tonight." Yusuke said, joking around.

Kurama just looked at him. "I'm sure she will be coming home." He said. Yusuke rolled his eyes in disappointment. "I am going to go see if she is here. Like you said, she could be in her room." Yusuke muttered. Kurama nodded his head at Yusuke and went back to watching TV.

Yusuke walked upstairs to Kohana's room. He was surprised to see the door open, because it was usually it was closed. "Kohana?" He called out as he entered her room. She obviously wasn't in there, but there was a white envelope on her bed.

'What's this?' Yusuke thought when he saw it. His curiosity aroused, he went to see who it was for. On the envelope was Kurama's name. 'Why did she write a letter to Kurama?' He asked himself and left her room to give Kurama her letter.

"Hey Kurama, Kohana left you a letter." Yusuke said as he re-entered the living room. Kurama raised his eyebrow as Yusuke handed him the letter. "Why would she write you a letter?" Yusuke asked and Kurama opened the envelope.

To Kohana's friends,

You don't really know me, but I am Ryoichi Hart. I was friends with Kohana as she was held captive at my family home. All of you probably remember it, you guys did after all rescue her from there, however unintentional it was.

I suppose you are wondering why I wrote you a letter and left it on Kohana's bed. Well that is simple. I 'kidnapped' Kohana. Now don't worry, I am not going to harm her. There is a reason why I did it. Suki, her sister, hired me to do it. You see I am an assassin for hire. It's what I do for a living.

Anyways, the story is that Suki came to me. I accepted the job before I knew what it was unfortunately. I am suppose to torture her and then sell her tear gems. After 'we' made enough money, I am suppose to kill her. So that is why I wrote this letter. I can't kill her. So you have to come 'rescue' her. I don't know what you will do with Suki and I don't want to know.

All I ask is that when you do get Kohana, she probably will never want to talk to me again. So please give her the other letter in this envelope. Also, there is a map in the envelope. I already highlighted to best route to take to get to my apartment.

Ryoichi.

"So what did she say?" Yusuke asked and Kurama handed him the letter. As Yusuke read, Kurama got the map out. Ryoichi wasn't lying, he did in fact highlight the route to his house. "I can't believe it." Yusuke said after he was finished reading.

"What are we going to do?" Yusuke asked and Kurama looked up at him. "Go get her of course." Kurama replied and Yusuke rolled his eyes.

"Of course. But what about Suki? And his letter to Kohana, are you going to give it to her?" Yusuke asked. Kurama looked at the map again, memorizing the route to Ryoichi's house.

"Well the thing about Suki had to be a lie. And of course I will give Kohana his letter." Kurama replied and stood up. "Let's go. We should probably get to his house as soon as possible." Kurama said and was about to leave but Yusuke stopped him.

"What about Kuwabara and Hiei?" Yusuke asked. "You get Kuwabara and I will find Hiei. We will meet back in front of the house, then we will go get Kohana." Kurama said. Yusuke nodded his head and went to phone Kuwabara.
