Chapter 2:

 

“Kurama, I think you should relax a little. You're always so strained,”

“You don't know that, you've only known me for half a day. And am I supposed to like being kidnapped by a stranger?”

“I don't know…do you? If you do, you're in luck,”

Kurama had managed to get Karasu out of the bedroom and into the living room…with the bribe of a kiss of course, which Karasu stole very greedily. Kurama sat on a love seat with his legs tucked under him his hands on his lap. Karasu sat in a chair near him with his legs crossed and resting his head in his hands while looking at Kurama affectionately, making Kurama feel a bit uncomfortable.

“Well…no, I don't. And I would have rather stayed at my job,”

“With that fool of a boss of yours, I don't think so. He barely paid you, I can tell,”

“He wasn't so bad, and he paid enough,”

Karasu dug into his pockets and took out a handful of something. He took Kurama's hand and brought it to him with his free hand and then put something in Kurama's hand. Kurama was shocked to see gold coin fall to the floor and fall into his hand. “W-what's this for?” Gasped Kurama while looking at the gold, noting that it was the amount that he got paid in a year.

“I'll pay you more if you stay with me,”

“Let me get this straight. You will pay me to just live in your penthouse? What's the catch?”

“None, it's lonely here, as you can imagine. I'd like someone here while I'm gone, you know, to look forward to seeing after a long day,”

“You mean like a home keeper?”

“No, of course not. There are other people to take care of this place. I'm talking about…say a friend? Maybe even a lover if fate allows??”

“I'll be glad to be the first role. And…why didn't you just ask? I'd be foolish to not take such an offer. But about the lover thing-,”

“You changed your mind?”

“No…not quite. I already have an intimate friend, I'm afraid,”

“Who?”

“Ummm…Fredric,”

“Oh really? Where might he be?”

“Uhh…”Kurama thought hard. “Dead. But I'm not ready for anyone else,”

“Dead, huh? What cemetery?”

“The one up-town,”

“Well, how about you and I go pay him a visit?”

“B-but wait! Look outside, it's getting dark, we really shouldn't,”

“Nonsense, let's go,”

“But, I don't know…” Kurama tried to reason.

“Shh. Come on,”

Karasu grabbed Kurama's arm and pulled him out the door and into the elevator. Kurama fretfully thought about what he should do. Then it came to him! He could find just any random Fredric and say that was his boyfriend! Yes! It would work out perfectly! There were quite a few graves in that cemetery, there has got to be one Fredric!

Soon the elevator stopped and Karasu walked out, still holding Kurama's arm. They walked out onto the slate sidewalk and waited for a taxi. Soon enough, one of them stopped. Karasu put Kurama in and then got in for himself.

“Up-town cemetery, my good man,” said Karasu to the driver.

The man nodded with a grunt and started driving. Kurama nervously played with some cotton that was coming out of the seat they were on. They passed many lit up buildings and stores. Kurama soon relaxed at he looked at them. Though he lived very close to the city, he had never been in it. Soon the lights became to fade and they were leaving the city, they were now in an almost pitched black atmosphere, if it wasn't for the full moon above them. Soon the car came to a stop. Kurama looked outside and saw a large jagged black fence. Karasu opened the door and got out into the cool night air, but it was a warm night. There was a slight warm breeze. Karasu paid the driver and then reached in for Kurama, but Kurama wasn't moving to get out.

“Kurama, come on,”

“N-no! It's dark out there,”

“That's not true, it's warm and there's the light of the moon, now come on,”

“But-,”

“Now, Kurama,”

Kurama let out a sigh and opened the door slowly and stepped out onto the hard gravel.

“See? That wasn't so hard,” chuckled Karasu.

“…”

Karasu grinned. “Now let's go, Kurama. I want to see this person,”

“Okay,” Said Kurama with a bit of uncertainty.

Kurama and Karasu started walked to the fence, but then the driver called to them. “Do you want me to wait?”

“No, that's okay,” answered Karasu.

“What?! But how will we-,” Karasu put a hand over Kurama mouth and continued walking to the fence. Kurama watched as the taxi pulled away. Kurama pulled Karasu's hand off of his mouth and looked at Karasu with anger.

“Now how are we going to get back?! We're miles away from the city!”

“Oh, well. I'll find something. Now, let's go find this Fredric man you spoke of,”

“Okay…”

Karasu walked Kurama to the first row of graves. The first stone said:

 

Marylyn Martin

1769-1805

 

“I don't think that's him, itooshi,” Said Karasu with a smile.

“Of course not! That's not even a man name!”

“Then shall we continue?”

“I guess so…”

Karasu led Kurama through the first row, and there were no Fredric's. Karasu led him to the second, row, three, forth, fifth, sixth, and all the way to the eightieth row. But there were no Fredric's in the whole grave yard.

“I think he may have gotten up and left, Kurama. I don't see anyone by that name. Are you sure that was his name?” Laughed Karasu.

“Uhh…I think I saw a Roderick, that might be him! Let's go back!”

“Kurama…that guy was born in the sixteen hundreds…are you lying to me about your age?”

“Umm…are you sure you checked everywhere?”

“There's always that tomb house over there, I don't believe we looked there. Let's go,”

Kurama cast his view over to the stone tomb; it sent a shiver down his spine. “I…I don't think he's in there,”

“Let's just go and check,”

“B-but!-,”

“Come on! He's not going anywhere, let just go inside,”

Karasu walked over to the stone door and looked at it closely. It was covered in vines and the stone was rough.

“Maybe it's locked…I think it is, let's go back!”

Karasu pushed the door open and looked at Kurama with a gleam in his eye. He motioned Kurama to go to him. “It's not locked,”

Once Kurama was close enough to Karasu, Karasu grabbed his arm and started to pull him into the tomb. Kurama franticly tried to get away. He pulled on his arm until it was numb. “Ah! Let go!! I don't want to go! Help! I'm being assaulted! I-,” Karasu clamped his hand over Kurama's mouth and chuckled. “Shh, Kurama. Don't be scared, I'm here,”

That thought had Kurama struggle even more, but soon he was completely in the tomb, and Karasu had sealed the door closed…
