Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Yu-Hakusho or the characters. Just the plot and the additional (3) characters.

Summary: Kurama and Hiei are left with more questions but with a more of an at ease mind. Yusuke sees only more additional questions.

Warnings: NONE

Miscellaneous: Still nothing major is going on, but on the next chapter things are going to start to pick up speed. Unfortunately there still isn't any action, but it's getting there, so just wait a little longer.

~Question Everything~

~KURAMA'S POV: DEMON WORLD~

Even though Hiei and I finished interviewing Kouken within a day I wasn't done investigating. The next day I had Hiei get a bird eye's view of the surroundings of the castle. On the third day I talked to random rouge demons in the forest. Fourth day I talked to some demons in the village that was nearby. And the fifth day I paid another visit to another village that wasn't too far from the castle. For the last five days I stood with an old friend.

"Who is this witch?" Hiei tried to understand who we were going to meet.

"Her name is Sachi Suitougakari (author: Don't try to pronounce that). She is a fortune teller. She can't see the whole future. Just bits and pieces. She knows more than even I do. I am sure if anyone can make any sense of this it is her." I responded.

"Hn. If you say so."

When we got to Sachi's place I greeted her with a smile.

Sachi was a very old fox demon that lost her sight in battle. Ever since then her ability to see a glimps into the future increased tremendously. Just by being near an item she can tell more about you before you even introduce it. Still, the more information she has before she starts the further her power stretches. Either way, now she stands one foot shorter than Yoko (who is six feet tall) with grey hair that is braided in the front and the rest hang down.

"Ah, Yoko Kurama, long time no see." Sachi greeted. "What can I do for you?"

"Oh well, you see, Kowenma has us looking up as much information as possible on this demon named Kouken. I have a few pieces of knowledge that I am hoping you can grow into something more." I clarified my reasons for being here.

"Mhm, continue." She nodded her head.

"First with the rumors from ear, the demons say that Kouken is a well kept to himself demon. That he hardly fights and he only fights to protect what is in his territory. He only came to the villages when in need of something. As far as that goes that's all I could get. Hiei got a bird's eye view of the surrounding area of his new castle, and there turns out to be some sort of symbol. According to what he said it looked like symbols that was engraved in the white room he took us too. Kouken had said that room was the room that…"

"Of the all knowing." She interrupted.

"What do you mean?" Not surprised that she interrupted me.

"The room holds the books of everything about the world and what is to happen to it. And still holds un-answerable questions, and leaves some logic out." She explained.

"Yes…that's pretty much what he said."

"Mhm. Hiei, do you mind if I take a look at your image?" Sachi got closer to Hiei.

"How is a blind demon supposed to see an image?"

"Your jagan. You must relax."

When Hiei did you could see her power at work.

"I see. This is a seal. But a seal I have never seen before, therefore I can't really tell you for what. Allow me some time Kurama and Hiei, and hopefully the knowledge will build upon itself. I welcome you to stay here."

Hiei and I happily agreed to stay.

~YUSUKE'S POV: HUMAN WORLD~

Only five more days before Hiei and Kurama come back and I felt like I was going insane. To help me try to keep attach of my sanity I talked to Kuwabara every once in a while and even bothered Keiko but it just wasn't enough.

I came to my last resort: Bryin. Ever since the day he left in that car I haven't seen or heard from him. I decided maybe stopping by wouldn't be a bad idea.

Thirty minutes later I finally came to his house but I saw at least five different cars. I figured he had company over and now wouldn't be a good time to pop in on him. I saw multiple shadows, heard a little bang and then a lot of laughter. Sighing I walked away, back to my house.

I didn't feel right leaving, but I didn't know him or his family well enough to just bang on his door and yell hi. The more steps I took to walk away the more I felt like I should regret it. But I pushed the feelings aside and continued home in silence.

~KURAMA'S POV~

It's been two days since we came to Sachi when she finally approached Hiei and me.

"I have news. I can't say that it is good. But I can't say it's bad either." She started.

"Spit it out old hag. We don't have the rest of our lives." Hiei ushered.

Sachi only smiled at Hiei's response.

"It is not something that I can tell you. As time passed, my heart understood the signs more and more. But I still don't know what it is. I just know, as you guessed, it is the inevitable. Nothing we do will stop it from coming and going. Even though I know you and your friends should stay out of it…I don't think you will. I just hope you won't regret it." She informed. "What I understand is only what you can feel. Due in time, you will understand what I feel." She finished.

With that, Hiei and I were to take our leave.

~YUSUKE'S POV: SAKYO HIGH~

School was back in session and I was more than happy to know Kurama came back safe and sound. All of us, Kuwabara, Hiei, Kurama, and I, scheduled to meet during our lunch hour and discuss what they discovered.

I greeted Keiko and a few minutes later Kuwabara. When things settled my eyes caught Bryin in his usual corner, his eyes lost in the sky.

"Hey." I caught his attention walking up too him.

He simply looked up at me. A bandage on his right lower check, a bandage on his upper left check, right eye slightly swollen. Eyes more dull than usual.

"Hey, what happened? Did you get bullied during the break?" I asked concerned.

He simply shook his head and looked down at his desk.

"Eh…"

Before I could try to weasel an answer out of him, class started.

As soon as lunch came around Kuwabara and I made a run for Kurama's school. As soon as we got there Hiei popped up and we made our way to the side of the school.

"So what did you get?" I asked.

"Nothing really. Just something that we can't avoid, according to everyone we talked to." Kurama answered.

"The demon is a lunatic. He claims that we are not to get involved or we will only get ourselves killed. And he says if we get involved he will have to hold us back." Hiei informed.

"What is he talking about?" Kuwabara asked. "I don't know anything that the Spirit Detectives can't be involved in."

"Yes, he said that our job of helping the world has reached its limits. The fortune teller, Sachi, says that we will understand in time. That what she was able to capture for information was something that can't be spoken, but felt." Kurama finished.

"What kind of bull shit is that? If it involves keeping the world at peace we can get involved in whatever we want!" I yelled.

"Hush Yusuke. We are still at school." Kurama reminded.

"So what now?" Kuwabara asked.

"Kowenma wants us to just sit back and relax for now. He sees no threat at the moment. When he does he will have Botan inform us." Kurama finished.

"Oh…well I guess that's that." I finished the conversation.

When Kuwabara and I got back to school I almost said good-bye and skip the rest of the day until I caught eye of Bryin. So instead I told Kuwabara I would catch up to him later and walked up to Bryin.

"Yo." I smiled at him.

Bryin did a small fake smile.

"So are you going to tell me what happened?"

He cocked his head to the side in question. I pointed to his bandages. He raised a…wrapped up, bandaged hand. I grabbed his wrist and he gave a quick tug to pull away.

"What happened?" I questioned him sternly.

He shook his head slowly, fear in his eyes. I had to wonder why he got scared so easily. As soon as the bell rang, he yanked his hand away hard enough to have me let go and quickly ran off to class. There was no way in hell I would ever understand that kid. And at the same time I had a bad feeling of what was going on. Nothing made sense…and until something happened it would continue to not make sense. One thing I knew for sure was that the longer this took to start, whatever it was, …the bigger it was going to be.
