When the Darkness Takes Over

ForestSprite

Chapter 7

The gang sat outside the school waiting calmly. Well almost all of them were waiting calmly.

"Where is she?" Yusuke demanded angerly as he paced back and forth in agitation. Botan was

sitting on a bench beginning to get annoyed with Yusukes frequent pacing back and forth.

Kurama and Hiei just sat down and relaxed not at all bothered. Kuwabara was leaned against the wall.

"Calm down Yusuke." Keiko said as she joined them wanting to see the girl again.

"She's the one that set up this meeting. She should be here by now." he said defensively.

"She only set it up because she was sick of you guys trying to track her down." Keiko said.

"Keh. She better have a good reason for being late." Yusuke replied.

"My mother always had a reason for the things she does. She doesn't shirk her duties." a soft voice said behind them. The group whirled around to find a small red-headed boy, sparkling green eyes that were probably usually dancing around in amusement but at the moment were full of a seriousness rarely seen in one so young. He slightly resembled Kurama in a way and was on a large cat. A fire cat. Just as Keiko had told them about when the girl had saved her life.

"No fighting." another voice said as a figure dropped from a tree to land next to the red-head.

"I promised I wouldn't. Though I wish I hadn't." the red-headed boy muttered.

"Mother would be disappointed with you." the other boy said to him.

"Let's just finish this ok? I don't like leaving her in that situation." he replied.

"Neither do I but she told us to come. Besides we know she's been in worse predicaments.

We'll try and get this over as fast as possible though ok?"

"He didn't have to insult her that way though."

"That's how he is." he replied shrugging his shoulders.

"Hmph."

"Don't worry. She's been in worse predicaments then this remember. Besides I was finally able to contact him." the boy said slightly smugly.

The red-headed boys eyes widened slightly, mouthing a silent oh. Then he pulled himself

together smirking. "About time. Those two were made for each other. They're both so

stubborn." he sighed. "Fine let's get this over with ok. As much as I love to put my faith in her I can't help but be worried that something will still happen to her." The two stood together talking quietly while the rest of the group waited. Yusuke most impatient.

Two demons though with their sensitive hearing heard what the two boys said and looked at each other carefully.

The blue haired boy turned around then to look at the group with the other boy.

"Where's the girl at?" Yusuke asked bluntly.

"She's busy at the moment unfortunately so she sent us in her stead." the blue haired boy said.

He looked thoughtful at the boy before him. "Didn't I say before I wouldn't do business with you anyways? You're, the word I think I'm looking for is tempermental. Yes you're too tempermental."

Keiko, Botan and Kuwabara began to laugh at the other boys expense as Yusuke began to

sputter. Kurama chuckled quietly and Hiei didn't do anything but you could tell on the inside he was laughing.

"Let's just get this over with." Yusuke said.

"Fine by me." the red-headed boy said. "Don't know why she even agreed to doing this

anyways."

"Red." the other boy said warningly.

"Fine Blue. I just want to get this done with."

Kurama stepped forward. "I'll do the deals with you." he said

"Hmm yes the kitsune you were telling me about Blue. I see what you mean." Red muttered quietly but Kurama still picked up on it. "Did you find that info. you were looking for?"

The other boy nodded not looking away from Kurama. "Good. Somebody who won't try to blow us up." he said smoothly.

"OK here's the deal. She says she won't bother you if you don't bother her. You don't mess in her affairs and she won't feel obligated to hurt you." he began but was cut off by an angry Yusuke.

"`She won't feel obligated to hurt you?'" he repeated angerly.

"I'm quite sure that's what I just said yes." Blue said.

"I don't think she can hurt us at all."

The smaller boy the one called red turned angry emerald green eyes on him. "Do not

underestimate our mother, Yusuke Urameshi. She's not some simpleton demon that you fight a lot of. She's much more then that."

"Calm brother." Blue said. Red glared at him but stepped back to stand by the huge firecat.

"I almost forgot. Kirara you should change back. Not a lot of people are used to seeing a giant cat on the loose in the middle of Tokyo." Red said.

The cat meowed quietly at him then in a puff there was suddenly a small two tailed cat in its place that jumped onto the boys shoulder rubbing against his cheek in an attempt to help calm the angry young boy.

"Forgive my brother. He's been with mom a lot longer then me so he's sometimes hostile when people insult her." Blue said in a smooth voice. "Anyway back to our discussion. She knows you guys want her information she was going to give before but due to some set backs and some misfortunate turn of events when she first met you she believes it's wise for you not to know anymore then you already do. She believes you might ruin any chances she has of gaining anything in her search. She says though that even though she wasn't able to meet you guys here she is completely sorry for not showing up and hopes you understand. Otherwise if you don't and still continue in your search with whatever little clues you have Koenma might be in need of looking for new spirit detectives." he looked at them all calmly. "Do not take her threat lightly.

She is serious and will not hesitate to put a stop to you all. You are a threat to what she's

dedicated her life to. If you get messed up in this you'll be getting her killed." his grip he had on keeping up an emotionless face slipped for a second and you could see the saddness in the boy and the pain. They glanced over to the other boy to find him looking up at them having the same expression his brother just dropped. Completely expressionless.

"I believe the meeting is done." Red said. The cat jumped off his shoulder growing into its large form. He jumped onto it's back. "Come Dai...Blue."

Blue looked up at him and moved swiftly onto the cats back. Red turned the cat back to look at the group. "Remember the warning she..." he paused as something seemed to bother him. The other boy behind him suddenly jumped up in alarm.

"Hurry Kirara. We got to go. They're in danger." Blue urged as the cat suddenly took of at a quick pace soon out of sight of the gang.

"What was that all about?" Botan asked.

"I don't know but they seemed bothered by it." Kurama replied.

"Think it has to do with the girl?" Keiko asked.

"Maybe." he answered

"I say we go to Genkais and " Yusuke began but stopped as he felt a powerful flare of energy.

He stumbled slightly when he felt it.

"What the hell was that?" he shouted to the the other three boys in the gang and Botan. (Keiko couldn't feel it at all) The five looked around wildly trying to pinpoint the location of the energy but couldn't do it.

"Hiei what about your Jagan eye?" Yusuke asked

"It can't detect it." he said somewhat surprised.

"Come on let's try and follow it in the direction it's coming from." Kurama said

"Where do you suggest we go I can't pinpoint an area because it seems to be coming from all around." Yusuke said irratated.

"Follow in the direction that the boys went." Kurama said as though it was the most obvious thing.

"Why?" Keiko asked confused.

"Because they sensed it before we did so they must be heading toward that direction." Kurama said as he took off in the direction the firecat disappeared not long ago Hiei not far behind soon passing him. Yusuke, Kuwabara and Botan followed close behind the two fast demons and Keiko just stayed behind knowing she wouldn't be able to keep up anyways.

Up ahead the demons raced trying to get to the spot all the energy was from and noticed some familiar land marks. They were near Genkai's place!
