"I get to be the one who gives you your last tail," Tatsuo examined him. "All of you are growing at an astonishing rate, you're such a good luck charm. Now who should I breed you with?" The terrarium glass moved away. Kurama felt the fresh air around him. Tatsuo gave no warning to hit him in all his chakra points. Kurama gasped and gritted his teeth as he gained all his tails. "Such a prize-winning stud." Tatsuo was proud. "Do you have any requests? I'll let you choose the first one. A numinous Zenko or a mischievous Yako? Personally I like the Yakos better. They seem to be more playful."

"Hmph," Kurama rested his head on the cushion underneath him. "When did we become so friendly?"

"Friendly?" Tatsuo eye him before chuckling. "I guess I was being too nice. If you don't have a preference, then I'll choose."

Kurama smirked. "You don't have the one I want."

"Oh?" Tatsuo was curious. "There is someone you desire? A fox?"

"You thought there was someone else," Kurama sneered.

Just then a soldier had pushed Hoshimi into the room. "I caught her meddling around the breeding area."

Hoshimi rubbed her arm. She was still in her disguise. Tatsuo stared her down for an answer. "I-I was not meddling. You've shown me every area except there, I thought I could see it myself."

Tatsuo chuckled. He glanced at Kurama who had been eyeing them. "You do know what they do in there?"

"I'm an adult," Hoshimi crossed her arms.

"Yes, but they do adult things in there," Tatsuo stepped closer to her while he waved off his soldier. "I could teach you."

Kurama was growing a red rose while Tatsuo was talking. Once it was grown, he ripped it from the vine and used his energy to break through his restraint to fling it at Tatsuo. Tatsuo's hand blocked it from hitting him. The rose pierced through his palm. Blood was dripping onto the floor. Tatsuo and Hoshimi looked at the flower before looking at Kurama. Tatsuo's eyes flashed. He was about to harm him when he noticed Hoshimi was getting closer to the rose.

"Beautiful," she sniffed it. The fragrance wafted her nose before making her fall into deep slumber. Tatsuo caught her with his free hand.

"If I can't have fun, you can't either," Kurama winked.

"Don't think too highly of yourself," Tatsuo carried her over his shoulder. He took the rose out of his hand to crumple it up. "You may have won this time, but you won't win any other time after that."

The glass came back over Kurama. His terrarium was being taken through the secret door. The others were curious for they overheard everything.

"Is she alright?" One asked when they knew it was safe to discuss.

"She's fine," Kurama got out of the other restraint. The only bother was the pumps that were connected to him and the collar. "That rose was only a weapon. It had nothing to do with her fainting."

"She faked it?" Another asked.

"Of course, she did!" One of the males yawned. "Feisty fox like her, why would she want to be with someone who has us coopt up like this?"

"But he is powerful," another argued. "Almost handsome too."

"Her family was the first to be slaughtered," Kurama silenced them. "If anything, she's holding herself back from ripping out his throat herself."

"Her?" The male laughed. "You must be joking."

"She ripped the heart of her rival in the Dark Tournament without hesitation," Kurama smirked. He was equaled out to his soul side that was fused with the human to his demon side that was cold and malicious. He was like Shuichi but he could use his demon abilities without trying to control that side. It felt nice, he felt he was back to his old self without the bloodthirst. "But I am worried that she is getting herself into deep."

"Jealous?" The male flicked an eyebrow up.

"No," Kurama closed his eyes. "I've been on her mind since I got caught thieving. That's not going to change anytime soon."

"Huh?" The others looked at one another.

"Just wait until she gets back," Kurama placed his hands behind his head. "It will be a few hours."

In the human world, Yusuke went to visit the others. His hair grew out again and he had markings all over his body. He wanted his hair to be short again but since they were drawing close to attacking he decided to rough it. He headed to Hoshimi's place only to find all the psychics there with Kuwabara and gang.

"Huh?" Yusuke jumped back as he opened the screen door. "What is everyone doing here?"

Keiko jumped up from her sitting position and hugged Yusuke. "Thank goodness you are alright!"

"Kuwabara what's going on?" He looked over to him while being strained in the hug.

"Since Spirit World got attacked, Human world hasn't been the same either," Kuwabara scratched the back of his head. "This is the safest place yet."

"Safest place? In a demon's home!" Yusuke looked at Keiko who released him from his hug. They all nodded.

"Insects from the Demon World," Yu Kaito explained. "Are flying around."

"Same ones that were attacking me and Keiko," Shizuru added. "They make people into zombies."

"Then they really did get Suzaku's soul," Yusuke blinked.

"Suzaku?!" Kuwabara stood up. "Are you saying that the guy is alive?!"

"It's not just him but the rest of the Four Saint Beasts are alive, Rando, Gama, Karasu, and who knows who else," Yusuke looked Kuwabara in the eye. "What else is happening on this side?"

Majority of them shook their heads. "People are going against demons now."

"Huh?" Yusuke saw the dread on each of their faces.

"Even those who are different," Tsukihito Amanuma pouted. "People know that there are several missing. It's even getting around that demons are kidnapping humans and none of them have returned."

"We will have this sorted out," Yusuke confirmed. "We're close to attacking the guy who is starting all of this."

"Is that why you look like you could be in a visual kei band?" Mitsunari joked.

"Huh? Yeah," Yusuke twisted one of his hair strands. "I can't cut it off yet and these markings won't go away either but Hotaka said it would get like this once I keep gaining more power."

"You're gonna look like you are in a visual kei band for the rest of your life?" Kuwabara started to chuckle.

"Yeah, and you're gonna be the blockhead who wishes he was one," Yusuke stepped up to him.

Kuwabara got into his face. "Like you can sing? I remember that you're a terrible singer." He busted up laughing again.

Shizuru hit them both upside the heads. The two rubbed the back of their heads. "Human world is now becoming afraid of demons. Demons are now fearing humans since the first rule is to not harm humans. They are more afraid of the King then the humans."

"Wait, then Yukina, you aren't going to class?" Yusuke asked. She shook her head. "Are any of you going to class or work?" The others shook their heads. "Aren't the demons fighting back?"

"The ones who would, are back in Demon world, the rest those like Yukina, who would not harm a fly," Kuwabara explained. "They're overpowered. Those who seem different are being treated the same as if they were a demon. Genki is getting worse as well." Yusuke's heart clenched. "She's hanging in there. Most of the demons went to her place to hide. They've been healing her while she protects them."

"Damn," Yusuke clenched his fist. "We're close to fighting this guy off, but Hotaka also wanted me to ask all of you and any others to fight against the demons and humans on this side that are supplying humans to the army. Kaname knows where the portal is at. Since it's bad then please be careful, and take down the those who were human trafficking." They nodded in unison. He sat down to go over the information.

Hoshimi opened her eyes to see Tatsuo sleeping next to her. She was about to reel away in horror but had to remember that she had to keep her cool. He woke up to her staring at him.

"Mmm, good morning," he eyed her. His arm reached up to her. She chided away. He let out a chuckle. "Although you are an adult, you still act innocently like a child." He got up to prepare for his morning routine. "I have something to show you," he threw down a few clothes on the bed for her "Come."

She changed into the clothes he had for her and followed him out. They headed to a room where terrariums were hooked up to the walls. In the terrariums were the demons with the stolen souls.

"Wake up new friends," Tatsuo pushed on a key pad.

The group woke up. It took them awhile to adhere to their surroundings. They were surprised to find they were in bodies like their own.

"I'll let you free to do whatever you want if it doesn't defy me," Tatsuo explained to them. "The only thing I ask in return is to kill in my name."

"We can do that," Rando clenched his fist. "Who's the babe?"

"Not yours," Tatsuo flashed his eyes. "If you can move freely enough, you can leave the terrarium. My soldiers will update you on what's going on."

Hoshimi took in all of them. They were moving about, stretching, and laughing. It sent a shiver down her spine but she had to hold it in. These were the ones Yusuke had to battle. She knew about some of them beforehand but the information from Yusuke and the gang let her know that they mostly all aligned with Tatsuo's ideals. Tatsuo had some other business and he sent Hoshimi back to his chamber. Hoshimi snuck away from Tatsuo's chambers. She headed back into the secret room. She shifted from her disguise to her true form. The plant bloomed. She touched some of the petals.

"Aren't you going to hide?" One of the males spoke with a soft voice. He didn't want to take up the others.

"No," Hoshimi blew on the pollen. It swirled up and started to glow. "Brother?" The others woke up to the soft glow in the room. "Brother?"

"I'm here Hoshimi," his words could be heard by all the foxes in the room.

"It's time," Hoshimi was firm with her voice. "They're all awake. I am ready on my end."

"We're ready on this end," Hotaka confirmed. "You can begin. See you again soon little sister."

"I'll be waiting big brother," Hoshimi ended the call.

"What starts?" Some of the males muttered.

"We're going to be saved?"

"Finally!"
