Yusuke and Kuwabara simply stood there looking after Kurama's vanishing form before looking back and forth between themselves and where the fox had just disappeared to. With out a second thought the two hightailed it back up the thousands of stairs they had just descended.

"Where do you think they could have gone?" Yusuke panted as they reached the top of the stairs and once again entered into the entry hall.

"I don't know," Kuwabara panted back. "I didn't even hear anything."

The two boys proceeded to glace quickly around all the hallways connected to the entry hall hoping to find something out of the ordinary. "What do you think they heard?"

"I don't know but I bet it wasn't good. Especially if what Kurama said was true and that they heard a scream," Yusuke shivered. "After all, Sesshomaru was ready to rip me to pieces. What else would have stopped him?"

As the boys continued to search around the seemingly abandoned castle they heard the sound of metal on metal, which could mean nothing else but fighting was happening somewhere in the castle.

"Does that sound like swords to you?" Yusuke asked as he ran in the direction of the disturbance, which happened to take them back through the entry hall and down the corridor to the West Wing.

"Yeah, this can't be good," Kuwabara stated as he sprinted off with Yusuke.

The Disturbance

The two boys ran until they reached a pair of large oak doors with the insignia of the Lord of Makai inscribed on it, with other intricately carved symbols on it as well. From behind the doors they could hear growls and the sounds of heated fighting. The two quickly opened the door to find quite a scene before them. But unfortunately for the two fight happy boys, it seemed as if they had just missed the fight.

In the corner of the room were four beings wrapped in Kurama's rose whip. Blood covered the two walls near them in what appeared to be an office with a small library on the selves behind the desk. The desk, along with the papers on it, and the books on the wall behind it were covered in blood. Though a question still remained, who's blood?
