I DO NOT OWN and NEVER HAVE OWNED IT OR NEVER WILL OWN YU YU HAKUSHO.
“AAHHHRRRGGGGGHH.” Yelled Matsu who had been trying to find the person Rounuke spoke of ever since his fight with Yuki was so far unsuccessful and it was bothering him, that and all the scratches, bruises, and rashes from weeds and rocks he had now from looking all over the forests.
“ Why, ouch, me.” Complained Matsu, “ why can't it be out in the middle of a field somewhere.” He remembered how angry he had been with Yuki yelling at him, but it didn't compare to how angry he was when he figured out that he didn't even know where to start looking for this person.
But luckily for Matsu, Rounuke realized his mistake on not telling him anything and brought him to the edge of a forest, bidding him good luck, saying that he was on his own for now.
* Flashback*
“ Damn it,” yelled Matsu he was getting pounded with rain and he didn't even know how to get to where he wanted to go. “ Some advise Rounuke, but you forgot the directions.” He growled at the air in front of him.
“ I didn't actually mean to,” said Rounuke as though he had appeared out of thin air behind Matsu.
“ Oh, good are you going to give me some directions now?” asked Matsu impatiently.
“ Nope,” said Rounuke with a smirk, making Matsu's jaw drop open.
“ And why not?” Matsu demanded to know, “ you told me to go see this person, because you want me to save Kurama, but I'm not going to be able to do that if I can't find this person.”
“ Calm down, jeez I never said I wasn't going to tell you where old Dante's at I just said I wasn't giving you Directions.” Said Rounuke like it was some kind of joke.
Matsu let out a frustrated growl and asked “ why not?”
“ Cause, I suck at directions, I'll just take you to the forest where he lives.” Said Rounuke.
“ K' then when are you taking me there?” asked Matsu with a feeling he was about to get wet, no not wet, drenched.
“ Well right now of course, you may have all the time in the world to waste, but I don't.” said Rounuke starting to walk out into the pouring rain.
“ What's so important that you have to do that we have to go out in the middle of this storm.” Asked Matsu mad because he had just found shelter from the rain.
“ It doesn't concern you.” Explained Rounuke.
` Well, thought Matsu, at least he's not ignoring me today'
“ HELLO” said Rounuke very loudly trying to get Matsu's attention.
“ Oh, Sorry I was thinking,” apologized Matsu.
“ Train of thought crash, then?” joked Rounuke.
“ What?” asked Matsu not getting it.
“ Never mind,” said Rounuke rolling his eyes.
“ What did you want?” asked Matsu.
“ I wanted to know why you weren't with Yuki?” asked Rounuke remembering instantly what he was going to ask. “ Does she even know what your doing?”
“ No, and she probably doesn't care, we got into an argument.” Explained Matsu hoping he would drop the subject, as he really didn't want to talk about Yuki right now.
“ Over what?” asked Rounuke his curiousness perking up.
“ Well over a lot of things really.” Said Matsu suppressing a sigh, he really didn't want to talk about this right now, especially not when he felt like he's jumped in a lake, and now the lake was stuck in his clothes.
“ You going to tell me, or am I going to have to guess?” questioned the other demon.
“ Why do you want to know anyway?” asked Matsu trying an unproductively at wringing the water out of his clothes.
All he got for an answer was a shoulder shrug.
“ Well I'm not going to tell you so you can have fun guessing.” Said Matsu aggravated because as hard as he tried he just could not get the water out of his clothes.
“ Nah I think I know what it's about anyway,” said Rounuke while looking up at the sky.
“ Yes!” yelled Matsu scaring off some birds nearby, as he discovered that he had not been pelted with raindrops for a while. “ The rain stopped,” he explained as Rounuke looked at him as though he was crazy.
“ Well that's good for me, but it doesn't do you any good.” Said Rounuke stopping at the edge of a forest.
“ Why not?” asked Matsu finally successfully ringing some of the water out of his clothes.
“ Because we're here and you wouldn't have been rained on in the forest anyway too dense.” Explained Rounuke stretching, “ well I'm not taking you any further, you're on your own from now on, good luck.” Rounuke said before jogging off as though that's what he had been doing the whole time.
“ Well,” Matsu said to himself, wondering where Yuki met him, “ that is one weird demon.”
* End Flashback *
` If I ever see him again I'm going to strangle him' thought Matsu as he pulled all the weeds and roots that clung to his wet and muddy clothes off.
Matsu began to look around now that he could see properly, and found that he was in a clearing and in the clearing about twenty feet in front of him sat a cabin with a demon on in front of it looking at him, then rubbing his eyes and looking back at him again, as though not sure of what he was seeing.
“ Ah hello,” called Matsu hoping to let the demon that he was not seeing things. “ Are you Dante?” he asked remembering what Rounuke had called him.
“ Depends,” came a hoarse voice and it sounded as though he hadn't spoken to anyone in years.
`Though thought Matsu that's a highly likely idea with him living all the way out here like this.'
“ On what?” he yelled back
“ How did you find me?” came the same hoarse voice.
“ A demon named Rounuke sent me, he said you knew something about another demon named Kuronue's death.” Explained Matsu.
“ Great,” muttered the older demon, “ just what I needed company.”
Matsu who heard him said, “ I don't plan on staying long, just long enough for you to tell me what you know about Kuronue.” He explained walking closer to the demon, Dante.
“ Why do you want to know,” came Dante's hoarse voice again, and it made Matsu wonder if he really never used his voice.
“ Because he was a brother to a friend of mine, and she wants revenge for her brothers death, but I think she's blaming the wrong person for his death.” Explained Matsu.
“ Ah,” said Dante who looked lost in thought, “ who is she blaming?”
“ Kurama.” Said Matsu instantly.
“ Well, your right about her blaming the wrong person, she should be blaming, a demon called Wasaki.” Said Dante taking a breath and starting again, but not before he was interrupted by Matsu.
“ Wasaki!” Yelled Matsu shocked.
“ Yes, Wasaki now shut up and let me finish what I was saying. Anyway when I found Kuronue he was about fifty feet away from where you are now, I tried to save him and couldn't but he told me what happened first.” Explained Dante
“ What happened then?” asked Matsu a little too curious for his own good.
“ I said shut up, and I'll tell you,” said Dante grumpily he did not like to be interrupted. “ He said that this demon Wasaki was supposed to be helping them, but instead used them and then ratted them out so they would get caught, Kuronue said his pendant string snapped and he had to go back and get it. He said when he went back to get it he was caught in a bamboo trap and told his companion to run and save himself. He got away after his partner fled, but by then he had already lost to much blood he died in my house up there,” he said jerking his head towards the house.
`Damn it I knew that stranger was no good' thought Matsu remembering when Wasaki had come to talk to Yuki right after she had learned of her brothers death.
“ You can talk now.” Said Dante thinking he was being quiet because he had told him to shut up.
“ Ok, well thanks, but I have to go tell Yuki this before she does something she'll regret.” Said Matsu getting up to leave.
“ Good luck,” said Dante his voice not so hoarse anymore.
“ Thanks, called Matsu over his shoulder, then stopped to turn around and ask, “ is there an easier, or shorter way out of this forest?”
“ Nope, sorry” called Dante before he went back into his house shaking his head.
“ Great,” muttered Matsu to himself as he rolled his eyes “back threw the dark, muddy forest, joy.”
