bonbon: Chappie Eight!!! (does a happy dance)

Ember: You're going to get writers block.

bonbon: (grins at Ember) Nope. I have ideas swimming in my head for chapter nine & ten.

Ember: (looks at bonbon a little surprised) You're on a roll aren't you.

bonbon: (grins) Yep! (looks at reader) I hope you enjoy the next chapter of Animal Magnitism. Enjoy!

Ember: She doen't own Yu Yu Hakusho. (looks at bonbon's grinning face and sighs) And if she did there would be more Kuronue. (glare at bonbon) Happy?

bonbon: Peachy.

"Yo! You mother fucking tree!" I yell racing up to him a few days after Scamp's departure.

"Still no manners." He sighs. I glare at him as I come to a stop.

"Why didn't you tell me your master," I spit out. "Would go all psycho killer on me?!" I snarl. He shrugs his vine shoulders.

"Don't' know, but maybe…" He trails off in thought.

"Maybe WHAT?!" I yell getting very frustrated. I pant heavily my anger getting the better of me.

"He could be more in tune with his demonic nature than I thought." He says calmly, causing me to pause in shock.

"His demonic nature?" I ask in surprise, completely forgetting my fury.

"Yes. You see in demon world wolf demons and fox demons are sworn enemies. Wolf demons have been known to rape and kill vixens. They also kill kits and dog foxes, but they don't always succeed, in the case of the dogs. So it could be that my master is just following his instincts and being a normal territorial male fox demon." I stare at him with my mouth gaping open.

"Ok, didn't expect that." I lie down in exhaustion. "So he was only being territorial?" The tree nods his head. "That would explain why he was so much calmer at my house."

"Ooh!" He says. "My master was at your house; wonder what he was doing there?" He asks looking at me pointedly. "Or should I say who he was doing there?" I stand up growling.

"Never in a thousand years."

"He is a thousand."

"Shut up!" He chuckles. I huff at his stupid attitude.

"Well your first plan isn't working-"

"Why not?" He asks innocently.

"Did you miss the part where I said 'psycho killer'?" He sighs.

"We'll just have to find you another way to get to demon world, but how?" I sigh tiredly.

"I'm gonna take a nap, ok?" I ask lying down next to the tree in the shade of his branches.

"Sure, sure." He says. I fall asleep to his mumbling. I hear a loud scream, causing me to jolt awake in alarm. I stand up and look around frantically. There was nothing but bamboo and darkness in every direction. Another scream comes from my left. I spin around and race towards the sound. Bursting through the bushes I come face to face with a group of demons, but none of them acknowledge me. They stand in a circle around someone. Curiosity gets the better of me and I squeeze through the bodies to find the most beautiful man I've ever laid eyes on. His dark black hair hiding his eyes as his head rests on his chest. I look at him in horror, because pieces of bamboo were pierced through his body freezing him in place. His wings that were spread out behind him were also pierced through with bamboo. I whimper crawling over to him. He raises his head and his eyes connect with mine, his beautiful indigo eyes. He smiles at me as one of the men step forward. I stand up. What-? The man raises his sword.

"Die you disgusting thief!" He yells bringing his sword slashing down. I leap for the bat demon.

"Kuronue!" Suddenly something pokes me in the side waking me up. I jump up panting.

"What? Where?" I look around confused and worried. The blossom mouth moves in front of my face.

"How do you know that name?" He asks curiously.

"What?" I ask. I look around to find myself back next to the tree.

"That name, Kuronue. How do you know of it?" He asks saying it slowly. I shake myself of the creepy feeling that dream had settled on me.

"I don't know. It just came to me in a dream." I say looking up at him worriedly. "Who is he exactly?" The tree sighs sadly.

"He was my master's old partner and a very close friend. I find it odd you would know about him." He says suspiciously.

"Hey don't go pointing vines. I just had a freaky dream about the dude, ok?" He gets in my face and looks me all over.

"I don't think he would be reincarnated as a girl, but that wouldn't the weirdest thing I've heard of happening." He looks me up and down again before shaking his blossom. "Nah couldn't be. I would at least feel a little spark of power by now."

"Ok, what?" I ask completely lost.

"My master's friend could've been reincarnated like him."

"Oh. Ok then. What would he look like?" The tree shrugs his shoulders.

"I don't know. He would look different then he used to, just like my master." I sigh.

"So we're back where we started. No plan what so ever." I look over my shoulder at the way I came when a thought hits me. I look back at the tree.

"Have you seen Fuka?" The tree fidgets. I growl at him suspiciously. "Where is she-" I pause as another thought hits me.

"What is your name?" The tree looks…well acts surprised by my question.

"Well," He says looking thoughtful. "I've never had a name." He looks down at me. "Do you want to give me one?" I look at him shocked.

"Um…Well sure." I look away nervously thinking of different names. "How about Lee, like a leaf." I suggest lamely. All of the sudden vines wrap around me in a suffocating hug.

"Thank You!" He squeals happily.

"Can't breathe!" I gasp.

"Oh. Sorry." Oxygen floods my lungs as they expand. I release a slow and easy breath.

"Well…Lee," I say remembering how we got on this subject. "Where is Fuka?" He laughs nervously looking away from me.

"Well…YouseethatlittlefiredemonthreatenedtoburnmetoacrispifIdidn'tgivehimFuka, butIdidn'." He says in one breath and really, really fast. I look at him in confusion and slight awe.

"One, I did not know you could talk that fast and two, huh?" Lee sighs.

"You know that little fire demon that tried to kill you?" He asks warily. I nod my head. "He took Fuka." My body freezes in place from shock. Not Fuka. No not her.

"How?!" I scream. Lee looks away again.

"She came here after that boy scared her off and waited for you to come get her, but, you see, you never came. So she waited and waited till one day that little fire demon came to sleep in his cave and he spotted Fuka. I tried my best to keep him from her, she did her best too, but neither of us can stand up long to a fire demon." He looks down at me sadly. "I'm sorry." I could feel water pooling in my eyes. I shake my head of the pest and look up at him with a grin, hoping it looked happy enough.

"It's not your fault. I don't expect you to risk what's left of your life to save my spirit beast." I look away as the tears flow. Throwing my head back I howl my heartbreak. Fuka! I collapse onto the ground and curl into a ball. This day just got worse.

bonbon: And the plot thickens. (looks around evilly)

Ember: (sighs at bonbon's stupidity)Expect the next chapter soon.
