"Urameshi, this is hopeless." Stated Kuwabara as he sat on the ground. Currently the gang was in the middle of the woods.
" Kuwabara, this is the only clue we've got. I'm sure Hiei isn't wrong when he said it's this way." Said Yusuke looking at Hiei.
" I'm positive, now get up!" said Hiei as he kicked Kuwabara.
" Hey! Stupid shrimp." said Kuwabara as he got up rubbing his back where he was kicked.
Hiei glared at him and drew his sword up against his neck. " Do you have a death wish?"
Yusuke stepped in between the both of them. " GUYS! We have more important things at hand."
Hiei did his 'Hn' and Kuwabara just stuck his tongue out and followed behind Yusuke as they continued walking threw the woods towards Kurama's spirit energy.
He deserved it. It's his own fault for putting a move on me and throwing Tsume on the ground. Jerk. Thought Chiisuteru as she walked where Tsume was.
" Uh, his legged ripped. Now he has a hole." Chiisuteru stuck her finger in the hole and pouted. " Wait, what's this. " She felt something hard was rubbing up against her finger. She took her finger out and ripped the hole a little bit bigger so she could pull whatever was in it out.
" Listen, I don't like people treating me in the manner you treated me girl." Said Yoko walking over to her enraged.
Chiisuteru ignored him and pulled out what was in Tsume. She found it was a stone perfectly round with a dark blue glow and appealing gleam. "Could this be……" She stopped midway threw her sentence Yoko had grabbed the stone from her and took it into his hands.
"Hey!" she yelled looking at him. "That's mine"
" Well, what's your is mine as well." Was his reply as he analyzed the stone.
"And what does that mean? Don't play smart with me." She leaped straight towards him trying to take the stone back.
He just dogged and then took her in his grasp. He hugged her with one arm against his chest while the other held the stone away from her reach.
" Nah, Nah, Nah, Your not touching this. I have the feeling that this is what everyone has been looking for, and to think you had it all along. You really do make things easy for me Princess." Replied Yoko.
Chiisuteru elbowed him in the chest and he just laughed. He took the stone and placed it into his pocket. Then he took her by the wrist and said, " Come now, if I have it then you don't have to worry about the responsibility of keeping it held against you."
" Yeah, that would be great if I could do that, but I rather deal with it then hand it over to anyone." She tried pulling away.
" Listen, It's mine now, so your not going to get it back, and I'm getting tired with your attitude towards me. You never treated Kurama like this. So don't treat the King of Thieves like that either."
Chiisuteru stood silenced. King of Thieves, wait I remember that name it was on that painting in the Mansion. Oh, gosh, ………and how does he know about Kurama?"
" How do you know Kurama?" she asked.
Yoko looked at her and then his ears twitched. "Someone is coming, follow me." He dragged her behind the corner of the castle.
"Are you prepared to give your life away to that brother's of your Reiji." Said Topaz as he walked towards him, knife in hand. "Are you going to listen to him, him, who is clearly not suitable to be King? I don't, and that's why I had this plan all set out. I'm tired of taking orders from someone younger than me and clearly a bastard."
"Don't call him that, I admit at times he's hard to get along with and he's not the nicest person, but he has his good qualities." Said Reiji as he walked away from Topaz keeping his eyes on the knife.
"HA, don't make me laugh; he's a useless selfish bastard, who in the end, I will kill. Then when that's over I'll take his kingdom for myself."
"You won't do it, not if I stop you. I'll tell him and this time he'll listen."
"So you tried and it didn't work. That is beautiful, all my years of slaving over him and gaining his trust worked." Topaz started laughing.
It was an awful laugh, one of pure evil. Reiji couldn't stand it and he took this time to grab the desk lamp and smash it into the nearby bookshelf causing it too burn up in flames. It was due to the whisky that was on one of the shelves. Topaz watched the books become inflamed and Reiji took this as his advantage to run. Topaz saw him coming. Reiji knew he had to found a way pass him and out into the hall. It was then that he noticed a perfect place to pass him. Taking a deep breathe he ran in a rush towards Topaz and slid on the floor under his feet.
" You stupid kid." Topaz quickly turned around and stabbed the knife into Reiji's stomach. Reiji quickly drew one hand towards his wound. He looked up at Topaz and saw the evil in his eyes. His dark coat and the fiery flames behind him surely made him look like one wicked man.
" Prepare to die." Topaz held the knife up right over Reiji's head.
Reiji held his left hand onto his stomach as blood drip down to the floor. Then he smiled at Topaz, and with his good hand made a fist and punched him square in the face causing him to fall back into the fire. Being older and bigger, but not having brains to go with it, isn't going to work at all if you want to be King. Jackass. Then he opened the door and ran out of the room. " I need to get some help with this. I need Kippei's and Kenichi's help to convince Shizuro that Topaz is after his title."
" You little ass hole! Come back here!" yelled Topaz from within his room.
" And I got to get to them quick." Said Reiji as he ran dripping blood along the way.
" What a mess." Said Yusuke.
" Look, all the guards are unconscious . Who could have done this?" Said Kuwabara as he was examining one of them.
" It was him, hurry he's very close." Said Hiei as he led the others toward the castle.
Chiisuteru could hear the voices of the others, but even if she wanted to yell for their help she couldn't. Being held hostage by a Silver Fox who was holding his huge hand over your mouth left no room for escape.
"Come, this way. They aren't going to find me that easily."
Thus the race began. Chiisuteru quietly followed behind Yoko as he dragged her threw the halls of Shizuro's castle.
" Can you let go of my hand?" she asked. "Your making my wrist hurt."
Yoko looked at her and let her hand go. "I'm sorry." He mumbled while he continued walking.
He was sorry. That was weird, he was nice. Chiisuteru walked behind him and curiously watched as his tail wagged from side to side. She wanted to know how it felt in-between her fingers and being as she is she reached out to it. Wow, it is soft. Hehehe.
While lost in her own thoughts of how soft his tail was she didn't noticed he had turned around. "Would you stop that!" he yelled. She drew her hand back.
She looked at him and mutter under her breathe, then they continued walking. It was then something he said earlier struck her mind.
" Umm, Mr. Yoko, sir."
He turned around and looked at her. "What do you want?"
"Earlier you mentioned Kurama; I wanted to know how you knew him."
"Well, I'm him. In one way you could say I'm his better half." He grinned while he said it.
"That, No, you can't be Kurama."
"I am, right now at the moment the Kurama you're talking about is fast asleep in my self conscious."
"That's not possible. I don't believe you. Your two are nothing alike. He's sweet, generous, and REPSECTFUL."
Yoko walked up to her leaning his face into hers. "I'm sweet, and I can be very generous."
"Yeah, well how about being respectful?" She glared at him, arms crossed.
He took a step back and shrugged. "To an extent."
"Ah, your hopeless, bring Kurama back right now!" She stomped her foot on the ground.
"There is only one way he will come back."
"How's that?"
"I'm not telling."
"You suck."
Yoko laughed and they continued their walk.
" So Kippei what did Shizuro say to you." Asked Kenichi from behind his computer.
"Nothing really, he's just really happy because he has the princess back." Said Kippei as he sat on the sofa.
" Well, maybe you should go visit her." Said Kenichi.
" Yeah, okay, I will, see ya." Kippei stood up and walked over to the door. "Don't work to hard." He said as he opened the door. " Reiji."
Kenichi slid out of his chair to look at the door. " Reiji, I wanted to…..oh , my."
They both helped him onto the sofa. " Reiji who did this too. You're bleeding yourself out." Said Kenichi.
Reiji gulped as he held his hand tighter to his wound. " It was Topaz, guys he was the bloody traitor, he's going to kill Shizuro. We have to stop him." He tried standing up but Kippei pushed him back down.
"You're not going anywhere like that. Let us treat that wound first okay."
Reiji stopped wrestling and kept still as his friend tended his wound. Brother
As Chiisuteru walked behind Yoko she started noticing a blood trail. She grew suspicious and wondered what happen she tugged on Yoko's sleeve to get his attention.
" I know, someone was hurt, and they are but a little ways ahead. Come on, I can still sense that they're following."
" Hiei, are we there yet?" asked Kuwabara. "This place is like a maze, I swear we just walked down this hallway."
" Kuwabara are you taking me for an idiot?" asked Hiei turning around and give him a rather icy glare.
" No, I'm just saying that we've been here before."
" It doesn't matter, because we haven't. Now stop your yapping and walk."
Yusuke watched behind as his two companions bickered. I do hope your okay Kurama.
