Me: Keep reading.

Haana kept running, just as Kazu wished, and didn't stop until she fell from exhaustion.

"Ouch!" Haana yelled. She had been running as fast as she could for who knows how long? She panted.

"Maybe I should have paced myself as I ran. That way, I would have more energy and less blisters on my feet." She looked at her feet and sighed.

"I'm going to try to find a river or a lake so I can cool myself off." She stood up and winced from the pain.

"I just hope I don't run into any demons while I walk."

Meanwhile...

A silver haired fox demon was sitting in a bush, hidden as he watched the villagers that were after him run by without noticing him.

"Heh, that was easy," he commented and looked at the loot. Gold jewelry and coins is what he was after.

"Hmm... I could've done better, but that damn wolf demon had to come in at that moment," he scowled.

"Where is Youko Kurama, Satoshi?!" a villager yelled.

"The hell if I know!" Satoshi replied.

"Tch, dumbasses," Youko said before running away from the scene.

Back at Haana...

"Ahh... heaven," Haana said as she dunked her feet into a lake. She watched the fish in the lake play with her feet.

"Hmm... I am hungry..." Haana said as she watched a plump fish start to play with her feet.

"Hehe..." She put her hands in the water, making the fish curious as to what they were. They swam up to it and their scales touched her hand. Haana couldn't make any sudden moves until the plumpest one came near.

"Come on... It's just my hand..." Haana said. The plump one looked at her hand and touched it. Then, Haana grabbed it and threw it ashore, scaring the other fish.

"All I wanted was you," Haana said hungrily. It squirmed and squirmed and then it finally died.

"Yes!!" Haana said victoriously. She took it and walked into the forest to find some fire wood.

"Well, that was fun, but now I have to leave this forest so I don't get into trouble," Youko said as he threw a dead wolf demon to the ground. He ran away from the wolf, with gold coins on his back.

"Where is all the damn wood?!" Youko stopped and listened.

"A girl?" he wondered. He looked from behind a bush and saw a fish that a girl was holding.

"Grr..." Haana said, looking for wood. Youko sniffed the air and gasped.

"A half breed!" he thought. Haana was oblivious to the fact that a dangerous fox demon was watching her every movement.

"Aha! There's some!" she exclaimed as she grabbed some wood. Youko walked slowly and quietly over to her as her back was turned. She was about to turn, so Youko jumped into the tree above him.

"Hmm? I thought I heard something," Haana said.

"And a beautiful half breed at that!" Youko thought as he got a good look at Haana's face. She shrugged and sat on the ground, about to start a fire with the wood when she felt a fox aura around her. She looked around and then looked up and saw Youko.

"AAHHHH!!" Haana screeched and ran away. Youko jumped down from the tree and ran after her. Haana ran as fast her wolf legs would let her. She looked back and made a mistake. She had cut her foot on a sharp vine and fell. Youko ran over to her.

"Hey, are you- Leave me alone!" Haana screamed at him, cutting him off. He growled. Then vines from everywhere came out of nowhere and grabbed Haana's cut foot, lifting her upside down.

"What do you want with me?!" Haana yelled at him.

"I just want to know what a half breed like you is doing out here all alone in the middle of the forest!" Youko screamed back.

"None of your damn business!" she snapped.

"Fine. Then I'm just going to leave you upside down like that until you answer me," Youko said, sitting on the ground and watching her. Haana stared back at him with her gray eyes. They stared at each other until Haana finally broke.

"OK," she said. "I'll tell you." Youko's ears raised as he stared at her.

"You should know about the wolf-fox war, right?" Youko nodded.

"Yeah, and?"

"King Enma doesn't know about the war," Haana said.

"So? Maybe it's for the better," Youko said.

"It's not for the better! My father wants me to alert Enma about the war so he can stop it!"

"Kid- Don't. Call. Me. Kid," Haana said through clenched teeth.

"Fine. And your dad wants you to alert Enma why?"

"Because the war is tearing everything apart with family and friends! Dad was killed because my mom had me and he was the father!" Haana said. Youko watched her as she continued.

"And now- Wait. You're an orphan now?" Youko asked her. She stopped.

"I... don't... know... My mother is a fox demon and I don't know if she had been killed or what." It was quiet after that.

"Well, what's your name anyway?" Youko asked after a few minutes of silence.

"Haana. Yours?"

"Youko Kurama."

"Nice to meet you." Youko looked at her and sighed.

"Huh? Is something wrong?" Youko shook his head and the vines that kept Haana upside down slowly let her down to the ground. Haana winced from the pain in her foot.

"What?" Youko asked. Haana lifted up her foot and showed Youko her foot. The vine she had cut her foot on cut in pretty deep, because her foot was bleeding more and more and wasn't stopping. Youko stood up and left.

"Where are you going?" Haana asked him.

"Somewhere," he replied and was gone.

"Well, some fox he turned out to be," Haana said. Then she felt something grab her waist. "HEY!!" She turned and saw Youko.

"Oh, be quiet. Let me see your foot," he said. She turned all the way and showed him her foot again. He had taken something out from a cloth bag and sat on the ground.

"This will sting for awhile, but it will help heal your foot," he said with a bottle of something.

"What the- YEOW!!" Haana screamed.

"I said it'll sting!" Youko said as he wiped up some of the blood and put more of the liquid on her foot. She screamed again. Youko sighed and blew on the cut, calming Haana down a bit.

"There," he said. "That better?" She nodded.

"Are you done yet?"

"No. I need to put some bandages on it," he said as he started wrapping the bandages around her foot.

"Now I'm done," he said. There was some blood on his shirt, Haana noticed. She got some of the water she had gotten from the lake and asked for a cloth.

"Uh, here?" Youko said. "What do you plan on doing with it?"

"Lay," she said. Youko sighed and did what she demanded.

"Here," she said, squirting some water on the cloth and rubbing his shirt. "Let me get some of the blood off of your shirt." She got most of the blood off, but some of the blood stained his shirt, so he had some blood stained on his shirt.

"At least it doesn't look like you murdered someone," Haana commented. Youko laughed.

"Anyway, do you have any idea where the Rekai Tantei is, Haana?" Youko asked.

"No... Wait, do you know where the Rekai is, Youko?" He nodded.

"I have... friends that work for Enma's son, Koenma, so I know where the Rekai is."

"What about where the Fox Village is?"

"Haana, I am fox demon. I come from the Fox Clan, so I would know where the Fox Village is."

"Could you take me there?"

"Huh?"

"Take me to the Fox Village," Haana said. Youko thought for a moment. He sighed.

"Where do you want to do first?"

"The Fox Village." Youko stood up and helped Haana up.

"Fine. I'll take you there." Haana squealed and hugged Youko, shocking him a bit before slightly hugging her back.

Me: Aww... Youko can be such a softie when he's not shown in the episodes!!
