Raelyn's POV

It was beginning to dawn on me that this wasn't going to be a situation I was going to be able to weasel my way out of. I was trapped ˗ I hated this feeling. The feeling that you're so helpless, even your own life is out of your control. It was distressing to even think about the predicament I was in, but that's the human mind, unable to focus on anything but the source of it's constraints.

This was now the second time in the past 24 hours that I have been unconscious. As if I wasn't feeling belittled enough as is. I don't want to be here, where ever here is. It feels wrong, like there's something pulling me in every desperate direction from here; anywhere but here.

But then there's my own mind, which wanted nothing more than to stay. The contradiction was nothing unusual to me. More often than not my gut would pull me in a completely different direction than my mind, and it was usually the better choice. But...I can't help but wonder what I've been missing out on all of these years.

Kurama's POV

"She's not going to be happy when she regains her consciousness. You know that, right?"

"Unfortunately, her happiness is not what I've concerned myself with. It is by far the least of our worries."

"Don't you think that's a little harsh, Koenma? I mean, she's not exactly gonna want to do what you want if you treat her like a prisoner." Yusuke did bring up a valid point.

"I agree with Yusuke. Her comfort with this situation is something we definitely need to take note of."

"Then you take care of that. I'm far too busy to make sure her pillow is fluffy enough."

"I think it's time for you to leave, sir. Long hours in the office have made you nothing less than irritable. I'm sure the boys are perfectly capable of handling it from here."

This entire situation with Raelyn has definitely put Koenma on edge. Actually, the pressure this has put on him is weighing so heavily you can practically see it radiating off of him when he walks into the room.

"Hey, Kuwabara, you're pretty big on the whole womens rights thing. Why the hell didn't you say something about the way the brat was talking about her?"

"Shut up, Urameshi. It's not funny."

Kuwabara's POV

What is it with this girl? Whenever I'm around her, I get the tingly feeling, like something awful is about to happen. Something that no matter how hard we try to stop it – is unstoppable. This chick gives me the heebie-jeebies. And what was with that rant earlier? She sounds kinda like the shrimp, except not in the 'I'm going to kill you, you fool' kind of way.

"Jeez, never thought I'd see the day Kuwabara's so stuck in his own head he doesn't even take the time to defend a girl."

Kurama's POV

I remember having seen Kuwabara like this before. Never this long because there was something to distract him, but all the same. Unfortunately, he has no option but to dwell on it this time around. I can smell the nervous sweat building on his brow; I catch every little twitch at the corner of his mouth. I can sense it.

He's terrified.
