Chapter 2:

 

“Hello?” Said Kurama fretfully.

“Hey, Kurama!”

“Oh…Yusuke, just you,” said Kurama with a sigh of relief.

“Well, yeah. Nice to see you too, Kurama! Good job on making me feel horrible!” He teased.

“No, I didn't mean it that way, it's just that I've been having the oddest notion that…er…someone's been watching me,”

“Watching you? Sounds like some horror movie, haha. But anyways, what I'm going to tell you probably won't help much,”

“Go on, anyways,”

“Well, Koenma wants us to do another mission. There have been demonic activates somewhere in…eh…well, I'll get back to you on the place,” he laughed nervously.

“Okay, where will I meet you?”

“Well, Hiei said he was heading over to your place,”

“Okay, I'll wait for him. Ja ne,”

“Bye,”

Kurama sighed and put the phone back on the receiver. This wasn't going to help anything. He needed some time to think about this. He wanted to know who was following him. Then he was knocked out of his thoughts when he felt a light tapping on his shoulder. He froze. Maybe it was the same person who was following him. He quickly spun around and looked at…Hiei?

“Hiei?”

“What?”

“I…eh…I thought that, maybe…never mind,”

Hiei cocked an eyebrow at Kurama's sudden nervousness. But he quickly passed it off as nothing. Kurama was sometimes jumpy when he snuck up on him when he was in deep thought. But there was no time for thought right now, they had to get going to the next mission. The faster it was done the faster he would be away from the idiot (Kuwabara).

“Let's go,”

“Okay,” Said Kurama with a light flush to his cheeks for once again being surprised by Hiei.

Kurama followed Hiei out of his home, remembering to lock the door before he left. Hiei led him to the edge of town where they soon came to a forest. Kurama, without hesitation, followed Hiei into it. They walked for what seemed like five hours. Their steps soon became clumsy from walking; Kurama summoned the plants to make a pathway so that they could walk easily. He cursed that fact that he hadn't thought of that sooner. Almost immediately they came to a large clearing. In the clearing they saw Yusuke and Kuwabara waiting for them there.

“What took you so long?” Asked Kuwabara.

“Oh shut up. I know you've only been for a few moments,” Said Hiei.

“Oh yeah? Well we still got here before you!”

Hiei ignored Kuwabara's last comment and looked to Yusuke.

“Where do we go now?”

“I…uh…heh…heh, that's a good question. The toddler never told me where to go after this,”

“Well, then we should looked around at least before calling him and asking,” said Kurama in his tranquil voice.

“Oh okay,” Said Yusuke with a sigh. He knew that it would just be more work.

***************************************************************** *******

Kurama walked off to a small part of the field. Suddenly he felt like he was being watched, he got that feeling again. Kurama kept walking, wanting to see if it was just his mind playing tricks on him, but the feeling did not stop. He knew there was something with him.

Kurama slowly turned his head to see his friends far behind him looking around on the other side of the field. How did he get all the way here so fast? Wasn't he just over there a minute ago? He let that thought pass his mind. Not wanting to frighten himself, he was a kitsune and wasn't to be afraid of anything. So he kept walking, and soon, he came to an odd bunch of bushed crowded together. Kurama got a strange feeling from them, like something was hiding behind it? Maybe it was the person who was stalking him! Without another wasted moment he quickly summoned the plant to move out of his way, but instead of finding a person he found a…pathway?

He looked over his shoulders at his friend and noticed that they weren't there anymore. Then suddenly a voice made it's way into his mind, a voice that sounded familiar, but to who did the voice belong to? “Good job, Kurama. Now, why don't you follow that path and come to me? It would be suck a pleasure to see your beautiful face again…” The words seemed to come and go with the wind.

“What the?”

Then suddenly he heard his name coming out of nowhere by another familiar voice. This one he knew. “Kurama? Kurama?! Snap out of it!”

***************************************************************** *******

Kurama snapped out of his thought and looked to Yusuke. Yusuke, Hiei, and Kuwabara were all looking at him strangely. That's when he realized that all that had just happened was in his head! How could that be?

“Welcome back, Kurama,” Said Yusuke sarcastically. “Now, let's hurry and start looking around,”

“No…,” Said Kurama suddenly. “I know where to go,”

“What? But…you didn't even no where to began and now you know were to go?! Okay, fine. Be my guest and tell us where to go,”

Then Kurama mentally debated with himself if he should tell them. He had a bad feeling about going that way, and that voice…it wants him to go there. But who's voice would it be? Maybe it wasn't someone bad…

“That way…” Said Kurama while pointing over his shoulders.

“Umm…okay, let's go for it,”

They all followed Kurama to the small part of the field. Kurama soon got that feeling again. But this time it was stronger, but he ignored it with all his strength. Then he came to the cluster of bushes, it was all the same. He summoned the bushes to move and they did. And behind it laid the pathway. They all looked at Kurama with surprise on how he found this.

“Kurama…how?” Asked Hiei.

“I don't know…I think I had a…I don't know, it just all came into my mind all of a sudden,”

“Well, let follow it. Hopefully it won't lead us to death,” Said Hiei with a smirk.

“I hope not,” Said Kurama with a sheepish chuckle.

Kurama was the first on the path. He led everyone for what seemed like miles through twists and turns and then they finally came to something. But what the “something” was surprised them all. It was some sort of mansion, a very large one. But it looked old, like something from the early 1900's.

“What is this place, Kurama?”

“I…I don't know,”

“Well, you should. You did lead us to it,”

“Maybe we should go inside,” interrupted Hiei.

They cautiously walked slowly up the large steps to the door. They were all ready to attack for what might be in there. Kurama was the first to go in. He opened the large wooden door a crack and went in, followed by the others. It was huge on the inside! There was a grand staircase leading upwards and doors lining the halls and one dirt covered door that seemed to lead downwards, probably some sort of dungeon or cellar.

“We should split up and look around,” Said Kurama suddenly. The words seemed to come right out of his mouth without him thinking of them…like someone wanted them to separate.

They all agreed and went different ways. Yusuke took the left side of the hall, Kuwabara took the right, Kurama to the left staircase and Hiei took the right one.

Kurama started up the staircase and found that it led to a rather large hallway that stretched for what seemed like miles before it turned into another direction. As Kurama walked on the scarlet rug of the hallway he noticed various pictures of the walls. All the pictures were of beautiful sceneries. They all had vast fields and rivers and things that would be found in a place of virgin nature. He stopped and marveled at a few of them before continuing on his way. Soon he came to the turn in the hall, it looked like the other one. He walked down this one too and soon began to think that he should probably go inside some of the rooms. Something in his mind was telling him, and at the same time he got that “feeling” again. He thought it was best to try going into a door, maybe he would find something out. The first one he chose was the one on the right nearest to him. The door was made out of some sort of pine that was neatly finished with a type of paint that made it look shiny. Kurama grabbed the brass knob and turned it. It gave a faint “squeak” when it turned, but opened. Kurama walked in and looked around. Everything was very pretty. It was a…bedroom? And a very pretty one, at that. One that fit Kurama's liking very well, it had many roses in it.

Kurama outwardly gasped without knowing. It was like…the room was made for him. How strange.

Then suddenly all the curtains in the room were drawn shut all at once. Kurama once again let out a gasp, but it was a gasp of aghast and not of surprise. Suddenly that feeling came back, but it was stronger then ever. Then suddenly a dark and oddly familiar chuckle filled the room as it echoed off the walls. Kurama quickly turned to the door, but before he could get to it, it slammed shut in his face. He was trapped. He got ready to yell for the others, but his voice was caught in his throat as he felt a blindfold being tied on him. He suddenly couldn't use his voice anymore; he felt a cold mask being strapped onto his face. The mask made it hard to breathe and he knew that very soon he would run out of air. Then he heard that familiar chuckle again, followed by the words: “Goodnight, kitsune”

And those words were followed by darkness…
