Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ The Shadow Fox Tale ❯ Kurama's Mysterious Relation ( Prologue )

This is kind of short, but since it's only the prologue I guess it's okay. Right? Anyways, C&C are welcome! E-mail me!

A dark figure within a castle-like structure walked down the halls of the dungeons slowly, his light footsteps echoing loudly down the corridor. Suddenly, he stopped in front of one of the heavily guarded cells and turned towards it, nodding to the guards on duty who saluted and opened the cell door for him, the figure walking in.

Inside was another figure, except unlike the first one, this one was warded, chained and dressed in rags, the figure's long silver hair curtained his face though if one searched hard enough, one could barely make out two silver orbs beneath the dirty silver mane.

"How are you doing, my dear?" the voice was low and masculine, "I hope my guards treated you well?"

The chained figure slowly raised his head, showing a perfectly angelic face, definitely female. If it weren't for the sheer hatred on her features, you could easily have mistaken her for an angel. "Oh don't worry about me. They treated me fine," her voice was feminine and sweet, but stern. "How are you?"

"I'm so glad you asked; I've never been better. I've just arranged a huge tournament which will be held in my new arena next month. There are all kinds of youkais coming: youkais wielding all sorts of tricks, weapons and elements. And of course, youkos."

Shock crossed her features in a millisecond but it left just as quick as it came. However, the other figure did not miss the look. "Why are you telling me this? It's not like I'm going to compete or even see the tournament anyways."

His lips curved upwards, "But you are going to see and compete in my little tournament, my dear, unless of course, you want to stay in this dirty cell of yours forever," His smile deepened, "And do you know who else is fighting?"

She snorted. "How am I supposed to know; you know I'm no empath. Besides, what makes you think I'm going to compete? For you, no less."

One word explained it all. "Kurama."

She gasped.
