Time and Space

Part II: Oh Crap

Youko Kurama waited patiently. They say patience is a virtue. Unfortunately it wasn't one of his good assets. His foot tapped the floor eagerly 'awaiting' for what the hell was going to happen to him next, he could care less, it was only to pass the time. Koenma came out of the office with an unsure look on his face. The others waited to hear what Koenma had to say. Koenma looked at them and sighed.

"Are you sure you can't change back to your human form?" he asked Kurama once again. The youko's eyes twitched in annoyance. He had been asked this question several times and he gave the same response. Besides, now he can be like his cold heartless self since his human counterpart, lets just say, disappeared for a while. It felt good to have his own body back.

"I have said I can't," Kurama stated rather coldly. Koenma shivered at the tone of voice.

"What do you mean you can't? You've done it before!" Kurama walked calmly but with a dangerous air around him up to Koenma. His height added more fear to the demi-god.

"As I have said, I can't. Lets just say, Shuuichi's body isn't available to hide in anymore."

Everyone gasped as he said that.

"What are you talking about?" Kurama glared at being asked more questions.

"It's exactly how I said it is."

"You…killed…him?" Koenma said in surprise. Kurama rolled his amber eyes in annoyance. No one got it yet.

"No! If I did I would've been dead too. That stupid lowlife demon only separated us! I don't know how!" Kurama calmly explained the best he could but it was hard when the present hearers were being dense.

"What does that mean?" Kuwabara asked out of the blue. Kurama was about to kill everyone but refrained himself from doing so.

"Fine, I'll explain to the less fortunate. We have separate bodies, but one soul. Get it now?" Kurama growled out in annoyance and anger, if you could catch it. Everyone realized what had happen.

If the demon was here, where was the human?

-------------------------------------

It was somewhat light when the redhead woke up. Searching green eyes scanned the scenery. Different dark plants were all he saw, as Shuuichi looked further. He realized that he was somewhat somewhere in the Makai. But that was impossible…

He just realized something. There was nothing. Absolute silence. Nothing was in his head, no voice no nothing. He jumped for joy mentally. He realized that his head is now his. He's alone for the first time in sixteen years. He doesn't have to share.

After celebrating silently he looked around. He needed to find a way back home. He for sure as hell knew that this isn't the ningenkai. His memory gathered what he knew in being somewhat merged with the youko. He heard rustling in the bushes. Now he didn't like this at all. His mind was telling him to move and move he did. He walked towards the other side away from the noise. Before he could take another step demons came out and surrounded him. He grimaced at their appearance.

As he surveyed his situation he didn't like what part he was playing. Now how the hell is he going to get out of this situation?

He then thought of something. He just hoped that he could actually do it without the kitsune inside of him. Maybe some of the youko's power leaked into him. He felt around his hair for some seeds, maybe a rose whip would do.

Amazingly enough he spotted the weapon a few feet away. Apparently it didn't get reverted back to it's original rose. He made a quick dash for it and just swung trying to hit at least one of them. Surprisingly it was easy. He managed to get a couple of them sliced up and continued his little self-defense fest. As minutes gone by he was starting to get tired. Three were only left.

Shuuichi cursed mentally as he was kicked and slid through the rough ground. His back hit a bush and he curled up at the pain. It hurt; he felt like crying but refrained from doing so. He needed to run. He quickly got up and began to run in any direction, forward seemed like a logical choice. He continued running ahead avoiding all the obstacles but he was getting tired. The demons were still behind him and catching up.

This wasn't good.

Shuuichi glanced briefly behind him to see that the demons were about to catch him. He pushed himself to go faster but his strength was deteriorating quickly. He was stopped when something grabbed hold of his arm. He was pushed back into two other demons. Now how the hell is he going to get out of this one? The leader, he predicted, spoke something to the others. He could understand some of it. The only two words he caught were: beautiful and girl.

Shuuichi's eye twitched. Other humans like him, he could understand, demons like them, well…let's just say they're in trouble right now. Before any of them noticed the two holding him were knocked out or dead he didn't know how much brain damage he did. He then went after the others and either trying to kill them or knock them out. The former seemed much more appropriate. Making them cripple was much more fun.

Unknown to our gleeful human crushing the demons' bones, he was being observed. A curious demon sat in the trees watching this scene play by. He needed something to do since he was resting there after a raid. He was running from the other direction since the demons wanted to chase him. He was sure that he didn't see the last of them. It was only in a matter of a day would they actually catch up to him. As he observed what was going on he became even more infatuated with the redheaded human. He had to have him.

He was too busy watching that he didn't notice that he miscalculated the time and barely dodged a spear thrown at him. He jumped down to face them since he hadn't killed in a while. It wasn't fun when you've gone about a week without killing someone, if you were a demon that is. He instantly took care of them with the help of the plant life around him. He then went to check on the human and see if he was finished. He'd never seen a human in the Makai before and the redhead being somewhat familiar with demons. It wasn't that common. He wondered if they were aware of them like all demons were aware of them. As soon as he saw the redhead finish he jumped down and proceeded to walk behind and surprise him.

Shuuichi was aware that someone or something else was coming. When he figured it close enough he made an attempt to hit whoever it was but his wrist was seized. To him it wasn't good. He struggled but this grip was strong and it was hurting him. A bruise might form there sooner or later. An arm snaked around his waist and pulled him against a strong chest. He froze. He could tell that this one is stronger than the rest. A warm breath blew past his ear sending shivers down his spine.

"Ah, ah, that wasn't very nice."

Shuuichi now was even more frozen. That voice…it was very familiar. He tilted his head up and gasped in surprise. He was face to face with his demon.
