A/N: Yes! Yes yes yes! I don't know if any of you have read any of my reviews, but someone just asked me if they could use my idea! And you know what?...

I'M TOTALLY FREAKING OUT THAT SOMEONE WANTS TO USE MY IDEA!

Yes, and that makes me so happy that I just had to tell everyone. I gave my permission, and am really looking forward to reading it. If anyone wants to know, it will be written by Mercurial Pheonix.

Okay, enough about that...I don't think there's much else to say except that this chapter mainly focuses on Youko and Suuichi. So, I'm not going to bore you anymore with my notes. Even though I'M STILL TOTALLY FREAKING OUT THAT SOMEONE WANTS TO USE MY IDEA! X3

Yuuki crawled into the room, scurrying over the cold cement floor on his stomach. His ears were flat on his head and he was doing his best to have his glowing fur blend into the dull settings he was in.

This is stupid, this is insane, I can't believe we're doing this... Suuichi ranted. Tell me again, just why we couldn't wait for people who actually have limbs to save Kagome?

Because they may be too late. Youko shook his head and put his nose to the ground. It had been very, very easy for him to follow her scent; the shampoo Kagome favored was a very unique style that could only be found in a handful of stores. Plus, not many women used it, so it helped there, too. After all, those idiotic guys that kidnapped her wouldn't have stayed put. And wasn't I right about that? he retorted.

Suuichi pinched the bridge of his nose...or would've, if he could. Look, couldn't we have just freaked out and started to drag a person around? We could have even found this place, and then gone back and gotten someone!

No, we couldn't. You heard the boy call Yuusuke. The detective will no doubt send someone after us and try to stop us. I won't leave Kagome in some insane maniac's clutches a moment more than I have to.

So you'll finally admit that you have some feelings for her?

Only if you do. Now shut up, I need to concentrate. I nearly lost the trail.

Suuichi subsided slightly and left Youko to do what he did best. In reality, both of them were very afraid that Kagome would be hurt. It still amazed the two at how quickly they had fallen for the young maiden. Of course, it helped that she talked about them all the time, both in human (or demon, depending on the moon cycle) and fox form.

The silver canine reflected dully over the past hour (or so) of events while he padded down a dim hallway. He had broken out of the house, left behind a frenzy of humanoid panic, found and located the trail he needed to find Kagome, and followed said trail to the source. And he had yet to meet the kidnappers.

Neither Youko nor Suuichi had been paying attention to where their trail was leading, and so neither entities saw the wall that Youko so gracefully walked into.

Falling back with a yip, Youko shook his head. Alright, what kind of person puts a wall in the middle of nowhere? he accused the air.

Suuichi looked up and Youko's gaze followed him. Someone who decided they needed a room and a door.

Youko stood slowly and examined the door. It's a nice make, if a little old. Sturdy, metal, a decent lock on it...He trailed off when he heard scuffling inside.

The trail leads in there, and if there's movement, it's got to be Kagome! Suuichi cried.

I know, Einstein! Now shut up and let me work! Youko's snap had Suuichi shutting his mouth with a click. Satisfied he wouldn't have any more interruptions from his other half for the moment, Yuuki began to yip softly.

Inside the cell, Kagome couldn't believe what she was hearing. "I'm hallucinating," she muttered to herself. "Yuuki is with Souta, back at my house, stuffed in a closet." She still felt a bit guilty about having to do that to her friend, but she couldn't have taken him with her.

Even as she told herself she was just imagioning it, the yipping refused to cease. In fact, it grew in noise level and frustration.

Get your mind around the fact that we're here! Youko was calling. Look up, you dolt! You just have to look through those pretty bars over that window thing, and you'll see we're right here. Come on, we haven't got all day to get you out of here!

Kagome shook her head. Deciding that it wouldn't hurt to put her overactive thoughts out of her head, she picked up Shippo (who had yet to wake up) and set him gently on the ground. She wanted to move the young boy as little as possible.

Standing, she limped over to the cell door. She had twisted her ankle sometime down the line. Peering outside the cell, she gasped. Yuuki was jumping in front of her door, wagging his tail furiously and looking like a puppy whose treat was just out of reach.

As soon as her face had appeared, Youko began to circle in frustration. He couldn't tell her what he wanted to know, so he would just have to show her. Running back a bit, then returning to the cell, he hoped she got the message.

Kagome watched Yuuki and her brow furrowed. Well, wierder things have happened. I mean, they did have a Lassie at one time... She nearly chuckled at her own joke. Shrugging, she whispered softly. "Hey boy, how'd you find me? Never mind about that, I wonder if you can understand. Listen, there are two men in here that are keeping me and Shippo captive." Yuuki froze at the mention of the young fox he had began to like, and Kagome continued. "He's doing very badly, and is only getting worse over time. I need you to track down the men and find a key ring or something and bring it here. We need to get out of here soon."

Youko snapped out of his stupor and yipped softly. Laying his ears against his head, he whined slightly and hoped Kagome knew it was worry over her that made him do it. Then, not wasting a single moment more, he turned around and began to follow a new scent trail. One that had been ignored in favor of finding his mistress; the trail of the kidnappers.

Just inside a well furnished room (which Youko and Suuichi were creeping into), Naraku slammed his fist on a delicately carved table. The wooden furnishing shattered, age making it brittle and weak. The fact that it was an old antique didn't faze the furious demon, and Yuuki took note on it.

"What the hell is he thinking, making me sit here. He gets to go out and about, and instead he leaves me here! Not only that, but he's preventing me from seeing my woman!" Naraku growled again and turned his anger upon the other objects scattered about the room, most of them already spouting evidence of his frustration.

Youko paused just inside the door, crouching behind a white couch. Besides being ugly and kidnapping Kagome, what do you make of him? he asked Suuichi.

The red-head observed him a moment more before coming to a small conclusion. He's definately dangerous. He's also Kagome's co-worker, the one that followed her home and wouldn't leave. Youko nodded in agreement. We need to be especially careful, since he is a demon. Otherwise, it shouldn't be harder than stealing from Hiei. They both share the same sort of temper, only this guy doesn't know how to control it.

My thoughts exactly. So, here's what I'm thinking. We need to get rid of this guy, otherwise he could be used as reinforcements when Kagome is escaping. Youko dodged a chair leg flung at the wall beside him and continued. It's going to be hard enough getting the keys, but how can we make him stay here?

Suuichi pointed to a place high on the doorway and made a circle around the room. Those would probably help, he said.

Youko smirked. You know, it's times like now that I'm glad I learned to supress my demonic aura. At least we know why he's flipping out, now. Those sutra's have got to hurt if he tries to leave.

So, now all we have to do is steal the keys, return to Kagome, bust her out of her cell, and make it back to safety without getting caught by the other guy.

Piece of cake.
