-Chapter 12: Help?-


Kuronue paced back and forth in the middle of Kazoku's hut, hands clasped behind his back. Youko sat seemingly calm in front of Kazoku, his golden eyes every now and then glancing up to watch Kuronue nervously pace.

"Kuronue," Kazoku snapped, his patience gone a long time ago. "Sit down, damnit, your constant pacing isn't helping anything."

Kuronue sat instantly, his arms folding in his lap. His face was twisted in worry, and he wondered how everyone could stay so calm when Kagome was out there, kidnapped for Kami's sake!

Youko tapped his claws rhythmically against the cup that held the tea Kazoku had made. It took all his will power and then some not to hit something, anything to take his anger out on. But he knew that it wouldn't help matters. It wouldn't help Kagome.

He sat down his cup, clearing his throat. "Whats the plan?"

Kazoku sighed. "There isn't one."

Kuronue glared at anything and everything. "What do you mean, there isn't one?! We have to think of something, and quick before something happens to Kagome, if something hasn't alrea-!" Kuronue didn't even see the blow coming as he ranted on, his head snapping back at the force of his kitsune friends punch. "damnit! What the hell was that for?!" he asked, rubbing his sore jaw, wincing at the tell-tale signs of a forming bruise.

Youko cracked his knuckles, flexing his fingers. "Damn," he muttered, "that felt good." he looked at Kuronue then, leveling him with a glare to instantly shut him up. "We know something could be happening to her, but you don't have to yell it at us. So we don't have a plan, we don't really need one to go an kick this guy's ass for taking Kagome."

Kazoku shook his head, "Not true, we DO need a plan. We know next to nothing about this guy, which means we no nothing of his fighting ways, or even what kind of youkai he is, or even if its just one guy, it could be a whole army for all we know. If we just go charging in, unprepared, we could be going to our death, leaving Kagome in his hands." He sighed again, looking down at his hands. Never, in a million years did Kazoku expect this, or anything like it. He didn't know anything about Kagome capture, and he didn't like that, not one bit.

He stood, "I'm going to the town sear and see if she knows anything." he gave them a stern look. "No fighting while I'm gone, I'd like to come home to a clean hut."

The two watched him walk out, then sighed simultaneously when he was gone.

"Sorry I hit ya," muttered Youko, fidgeting.

Kuronue nodded, "I needed it."

"Yeah," Youko said, agreeing. "you did."

They were silent for a while, only the sound of early morning birds entered the hut. Then Youko shifted, turning to face Kuronue.

"What do you know about Vampire youkai?"

Kuronue thought about it for a moment, then shrugged. "They can be-spell their victims with their mind, but you have to look into their eyes first. They look like any other youkai, fangs and claws, but they seem to have a certain air about them..anyways, they also can turn into anyone of their victims, as long as they made the kill them self's, but they can never change the eye color. I’ve heard they have a distinct smell, like, blood and mint, or something like that." he shrugged again, "Why?"

"Actually, its blood and decay, not mint. And i think that's what we’re dealing with. Kagome would never go with anyone she didn't know without a fight. We didn't hear anything the morning she was taken, and her smell, along with a hint of Reimei’s, was where she was last seen. I also smelled blood and decay, leading me to think the vampire tricked Kagome into thinking he was Reimei, knowing she would go with him."

Kuronue nodded, following along, but then he frowned. "But to use Reimei’s skin, he would have needed to kill....do you think he’s dead?"

Youko shrugged, "Well, he hasn't been seen or heard from since before Kagome disappeared, so its possibility." He thought about it for a minute. "I know that its said vampire youkai are rare, but they usually have a army or two to protect them, right? But vampires themselves aren't very strong, just ruthless. So if we could get past his guards and men undetected, we could kill him easily and get Kagome!"

Kuronue’s eyes brightened at Youko’s plan, and he could also hear his friends voice and face lighten at the though of getting Kagome back. "Sounds good to me, lets go tell the old man."

"Old man?" Kazoku questioned as he stepped back into the hut, eyes landing on the youkai who called him such a name. "Hn, no need to recite the ‘plan’ children, i already heard, and i think its great. But, how do we find the place where Kagome is being held?"

Youko scoffed at being called a child, but answered anyway, "Easy, follow Kagome scent, it hasn't been too long, so there still should be a trace of it left. Enough to get a start."

Kuronue jumped up, pumping his fist in the air. "All right, then, lets hurry the fuck up, we need to get Kagome." he grunted, already starting towards the door. Kazoku tsked and grabbed the back of the anxious koumori's shirt.

"Baka," he drawled, pulling him back in. "We need to rest up. In the shape we're in now, we have no chance, even with the three of us. We've been up ever since Kagome was taken, we need sleep, at least for the night, we will go in the morning." he dropped his hand away from Kuronue, his eyes straying to the window."Nightfall has just begun, sleep now, we leave first thing in the morning."
