Hatred and Despair

Darkness filled the entire room.

Karasu had locked up Kurama's family inside a cellar of the old, broken down house. He was sure that no one would be able to sense that they were there, mainly because the whole house and it's surroundings was surrounded with wards, strong enough to not be detected by Reikai's officers.

He smirked at the four unconscious figures of Kurama's family, at the bodies that were soaked with their own blood. Humans, they just have no endurance. Yet, he still have no plans of killing them, what a sight it must be to see a family see each other slowly be killed. How it would feel to see your brother be raped.

And of course, Karasu had known how cunning the fox is, that he wouldn't give in without a fight. So Karasu conjured plans of his own. And was one step forward than Reikai's tantei.

His power was strong enough to prevent Kurama from using his powers for only a few hours, so he had to have something as back up incase the kitsune though of a way successfully to kill him.

He had been going around the place, and he noticed that the basement area was empty. So he filled the whole place with wards, and closed every single escape route he had found.

It was time to meet the fox.

*****

Genkai had searched the entire Minamino house, searching for certain ki, or anything that may link them to Karasu's whereabouts.

Kurama had been summoned by Koenma, and was told that they were trying to find out where Karasu had taken his family, but they were having trouble because of the surrounding wards, which concealed the whole place. But they were sure that it was only around Japan. And, determined to find them, Koenma had sent Yusuke and Kuwabara to search for any signs.

But Kurama cannot wait until Reikai found them; it may be too late when that happens. He would rather die than see his family dead.

He had planned to see Karasu on the lakeside. Alone.

It was already too much that his family was in trouble, and if his friends will also get hurt because of him, he wouldn't be able to stand that. Surely, once he kills Kurama's family, he would bring with him one of his friends, Botan, Yusuke. Who knows what is going on in Karasu's mind. He doesn't want any more people to be included between him and Karasu.

But, to be sure, he had told Yusuke that if ever something happens, he should continue his search for them. He had also sought help from Genkai, who told him possible ways to win over Karasu. And warned him not to show any emotion when he meets him, because when Kurama does, it may prove fatal for him.

"You must not hesitate. You have kill him at once." Genkai stated, sincerely

It was time to meet the raven.

*****

The Lord of the Dead sat comfortably on his chair, his brow furrowed as he filed through the folders his helper, George Saotome had piled on his desk and underlined as *urgent*. But it wasn't like any death papers were important right now.

'Why am I going through this when everyone is in such trouble finding Kurama's family?' Koenma mumbled.

Koenma shifted, and a few folders fell on the floor. As he bent down to pick it up and settle it on the desk once more, he froze as he saw what was written in the folders.

There, highlighted in sharp yellow, were Kurama's family's names.

'Minamino, Shiori'

'Minamino, Hatanaka'

'Minamino, Hatanaka Shuuichi'

'Kourin/Minamino, Sakura'

Koenma barged through the door and, shifting to his teenage form, the young god went in search for Botan, forgetting the piles of work he had to do.

He had never expected this to happen.

*****

"Well, Kurama. I thought you would never come."

Kurama didn't say a word, glaring relentlessly at Karasu and stopped himself from feeling nauseated or throwing up as Karasu slided his fingers through Kurama's hair.

"You haven't changed, Kurama."

Kurama still willed himself to face Karasu with a blank expression.

"Where have you taken my family?"

Karasu chuckled, eyeing the redhead who was obviously trying to hide his anger. It really amazes him how that fox could remain so calm.

Kurama grasped the small blade of grass on his hand, and with one swift move, sent it across Karasu, it's fatal sharp edges almost cutting Karasu's throat.

Almost. Kurama was a split second to late. Karasu had definitely expected that maneuver.

And with a blink of an eye, the whole place exploded as thousands of bombs went activated simultaneously....

Smoke filled the still, humid air. And there was no more trace of Kurama, only a dark silhouette shadow that burst through the night.

To be continued.
