Chapter 4

Kurama trembled in the dark corner of his cell; he could feel the cold metal of his chains on his cheek as he buried his face in his hands, trying to hide the silent tears that were streaming down his cheeks. His shirt was torn into shreds that barely clung to his shoulders, as the remaining pieces were scattered on the stone floor. The redhead winced in pain, suffering from a number of bruises on his chest. The dark figure laughed, a cold, menacing laugh, watching Kurama. The demon knelt down, cupping the redhead's face in his hands, bringing them face to face.

"There, there, now, there's no need for tears, pretty one." Kurama said nothing, his eyes cold with hatred. The figure threw back his head and laughed,

"What is this? Are you not grateful to your master? I have spared your life for the time being; you should be on your knees, thanking me a thousand times over, for no words will express your gratitude." He raised an eyebrow in amusement.

"No matter, I'll have no need for you, once I become king." Provoking no response from the ningen except widened eyes, he smirked.

"Oh poor thing, are you so frightened that you've forgotten my mission? The Four Saint Beasts, the mighty gods of the City of Ghosts and Apparitions, my masters, died trying to be rid of… "intruders..." He got to his feet and turned, his deep cobalt eyes, gazing far away.

"…leaving behind a task unfinished. So it is now my duty that I, their loyal servant Masanori, shall fulfill the will of my masters in revenge of their deaths. Once I escape through the shield trapping us into this realm, we'll be free at last. I will use my power to build an empire like no other; I will do what my masters could not. The Human World alone is not enough for a rising leader." A devious smile touched his lips.

"No, not even the Demon World will suffice." Slowly, Masanori turned back to face Kurama, his gaze, intense.

"I will build a realm worth ruling, a land fit for a king where demons will take reign, and all will bow before me, even Lord Enma will tremble in fear at the sound of my name. So tell me Kurama, what better a kingdom than all three worlds combined? My army of demons will carve out a new era, and I will be their leader…I …have waited so long…so long for this day…" He whispered. Seconds dragged by, and his eyes hardened.

"However…I must eliminate all obstacles for my new ruling. My subjects shouldn't disobey their new king." Kurama tensed, anger flashing in his eyes. Masanori gasped and took a step back in shock, as he saw a flash of gold in his emerald eyes. 'Wha-….what is he? Some special power to trick me, perhaps? …No…wait….masaka…a youko? ...but how can that be?….No, he's a youko…he has to be.' Cobalt eyes sparked with interest.

"Hmm, perhaps I'll let you live after all."

Hiei cursed, dodging flying arrows that flew mercilessly at their new target. He had entered the tower easily enough. Unfortunately, unlike he hoped, the traps were still quite active. 'Damn, this is taking too long, that guy better not hurt my fox or I'll…' He clenched his teeth and growled at the very thought. 'Hang on Kurama, I'm comi—' His thought was cut off by an arrow that whistled by his head. '…crap…'

The two remaining Reikai Tantei stomped through dark and dank woods, with Kuwabara muttering to himself all the way.

"Damn that lil' shrimp…always running off...thinks he so great, that he can handle anything…they even had to shrink his stupid sword size 'cause he's so damn short….but he thinks he's SOOO cool with him and his stupid dragon wave….well, he doesn't scare me….nuh-uh, I, Kuwabara Kazuma am gonna kick his stupid sorry little ass….stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, barely four feet tall arrogant bastard…stupid, stupid, stupid…" Yusuke, with his hands folded behind his head, sighed at his comrades idiotic mutterings, and called out,

"Will ya just shut up, Kuwabara? I know that maybe you got some issues, and a bit touched in the head, but really, I hate it when you start talking to yourself, it makes you look even stupider than you already are." Kuwabara jerked his head up in rage,

"NANI! WHAT DID YOU SAY!" Yusuke turned his head to the angry Reikai Tantei.

"Ah? What, that you're stupid?" Yusuke sneered.

"Well gee, Kuwabara, ya kinda are." Kuwabara turned beet red,

"PREPARE YOURSELF URAMESHI, FOR I, KUWABARA KAZUMA, SHALL MAKE YOU PAAAAAAYYYY!" Yusuke sweatdropped,

"Alright, alright, daijoubu, I'll admit, " Kuwabara grinned triumphantly,

"you're not THAT stupid…just a little." Kuwabara glared and opened his mouth to snap back, but Yusuke quickly put his arm around the other's neck in a half Nelson.

"Yea, yea, uh-huh, that's great Kuwabara, now be a good little boy now, and let's get going." Kuwabara stuttered in rage, while Yusuke half dragged, half carried Kuwabara through the damn woods.
