Chapter 1: Before the Fire

 

Kurama sat on the subway, looking out the windows at concrete walls that flew by. The lights flickered as the subway hit a bump. Kurama presumed it to be the person who had done the wonderful “drawings” on the stone tunnel's walls. He sighed and looked around the compartment he was it.

He was alone…

He was used to that…

His life had gone downhill socially. He still had the fan girls that drooled over him, but not any friends…

The Spirit Detectives has disbanded five years ago. They all lost touch. The fact that Kurama had moved halfway across the country didn't help too much, either.

Suddenly he was jerked out of his thought as the trains lights went completely off. Leaving him in an utter darkness...

Kurama wasn't afraid of the dark, but he didn't feel comfortable in it either. He slowly got up, not wanting to show himself as hesitate, and walked to the door.

He put his hand on the cold metal handle and tried to turn it, but to his confusion, it was locked? Why would anyone lock his door? He pushed that thought out of his head and went back to his seat to wonder what was going on.

He sighed and crossed his legs while leaning back. He closed his eyes for a moment to relax, but then opened them quickly as he heard a faint scratching noise on his window. He opened his eyes and looked towards the sound. But it was useless, he was in total darkness.

He closed his eyes and tried to relax again, the sound was probably nothing, air hitting the windows, nothing more. And soon it ended, he was in silence, expect for the soft air he could feel hitting the train. But the sound did not last long.

It was then that the subway came to a screeching halt. Kurama was jolting forward and tried to quickly reclaim his balance. Now everything was still, everything was quiet. And in the eyes of his stalker, everything was perfect…

Unfortunately, Kurama was not able to reclaim his balance, and ended up on the hard carpeted floor. As he was getting up, he heard a faint “click” from the door.

It was unlocked.

Kurama inwardly smiled and got up and approached the door. But then halted…he felt something. Something was amiss and wrong…but he just couldn't figure it out.

The door clacked open by itself…

The room was suddenly filled with a dark and forbidding aura. A familiar one. Kurama's eyes became shrouded with fear. It couldn't be. He…he was dead! This couldn't be happening!

Suddenly there was an explosion and the metal door of the compartment fell over. And one sentence was heard. And that was all that was need for Kurama…

“Hello, my kitsune…my prey,”

It was with a chuckle. It was sadistic…it wanted him.

He backed up as he felt it advance on him. It wasn't long before he was backed up against a wall. He couldn't see his face, but he knew who it was.

“Karasu…” breathed Kurama
