Chapter 5
Hiei ran through the city. Looking for signs of something, anything, since he had no idea what he was looking for. But than he caught a glimpse of two people moving at an incredible speed… towards Yusuke's home. "What do they want?" Hiei turned and followed after them.

"Kurama?" Botan asked as she watched his face fall. "What is it?"
"There isn't a cure for the poison that she might have gotten." Kurama said as he held his head in his hands. "She showing the symptoms of scypher poison. A poison that can, when entered into the bloodstream, will slowly eat at your spirit energy, than your life energy. Putting you through so much pain that you just wish someone would kill you than and now."
"So she'll…" Botan gulped as she looked at the Neko, who's shape kept rapidly changing. Her actual form, to human, to other creatures. "Poor Karu."
"You're dead wrong!" Someone screamed from the window. "She's a demon, and she'll beat this like she beat everything else!"
"KARASU!" Kurama hissed as he watched the black haired man enter through the window, followed by a smaller demon with white hair and red eyes. "What are you doing here?"
"To help my partner." Karasu sneered as he walked over to the bed, where Karu was writhing in pain. "What is the moon phase tonight?"
"What?! What does that have anything to do with her and poison!?" Kuwabara screamed as he grabbed Karasu's shoulder.
"Just tell me!" Karasu roared.
"Full moon, why?" Kurama said with a growl as he watched Karasu pick up Karu's hand.
"Shunu, supply her with enough spirit energy till nightfall." Karasu said as he turned to the short white haired demon. "Her changing period will only last the night. When you give her enough, transport us all to the forest."
"Her changing period?" Yusuke looked at the demon with disgust, but curiosity.
"A time where every youkai's senses and needs take hold of their body. Depending on their nature, they could either walk around, slaughtering everything that moves, or sits quiet until the sun rises the next day." Hiei's vice answered from the windowsill. "Including her immune system works at top speed, which would hopefully drain the poison from her system."
"And what if she turns into a creature of death?" Botan asked as she watched Karu more closely. "Will she come after us?"
"If she trusts you, than no." Shunu replied in his high pitched voice. "But the main question right now is if she can survive till the sun sets."
"The sun will set at 7:32 tonight." Kurama answered as he looked at his watch. "She can survive an hour, right?"
"She should. She has survived worse than this, at times." Karasu picked up her body and walked to the window. "You can follow or stay here for all I care. But I would be careful. She is a ruthless killer whom doesn't care how you die as long as it's painfully."
Everyone gulped. Shunu pulled an orb from his cloak and started to chant, soon a flashing orb of purple engulfed the three. "You are not leaving with her without us!" Yusuke screamed as he jumped into the orb, quickly followed by the others.

"We are here." Shunu answered as the purple light faded. They were surrounded on all sides by trees and the scent of youkai.
"How long till the sun sets?" Kuwabara asked as he looked at the neko.
"It'll set quicker here. I give it about ten minutes." Kurama looked around. "And be on your guard. We're ambushed."
