gang stood at the very heart of the makai forest where the youkai was last
seen. Kurama stared at the
wide expanse of greenery surrounding the forest floor, scanning for any
signs of the youkai. Yusuke
at his side stood silently contemplating. "Oi
Yusuke, what are you so nervous about?"
Kuwabara asked from behind him. "Hmm.
Just feeling a bit uneasy." "I
feel it too, like someone or something is watching us."
The carrot-hair Kuwabara added, edging closer to Yusuke.
Kurama did the same just as Hiei flitted next to him.
The redheaded youko was startled to attention, heart beating fast,
but he forcefully clamped down any emotion and thought. Now was not the time to get personal. They had work to do. "Glad
to see you back, shrimp." Kuwabara
said, feeling a bit cheerful. They
were back again. All four of
them, together, back to back, side by side. "Hn."
Hiei grunted. "Whatever
it is, it's coming toward us." Kurama
announced. "And
it's coming really fast!" Yusuke
warned just as a circular ball of energy headed toward them. "Look
out!" Kuwabara screamed. All
four of the dispersed quickly evading the ball of fire that slammed
against the forest trees. "Whew!
That was close!" Yusuke
whistled as he settled on the ground.
Kuwabara was panting on his right, Hiei was atop a tree, Kurama
behind him. The youko snipped the air.
Big trouble was coming or had it come already? He was startled when a cold hand clamped on his mouth and
something stung his head, passing through his brain. Everything went black. Hiei
glanced at his back. He was
sure Kurama was just standing behind him, but there was no sign of the
youko. The fire demon frowned
and was about to undo the bandanna on his jagan, when the redhead
reappeared. Yusuke and
Kuwabara turned and nodded to Kurama. "I
don't get this. Are we just
going to stand here and wait for the enemy to come out?" Kuwabara began to whine. "You're
right. We need to
split." Yusuke
suggested. "Fine."
Kuwabara muttered. "Hn."
Hiei grunted an agreement. Kurama
merely looked at Yusuke. "Kuwabara
and I will go east." Yusuke
announced as he quickly put action to his words. "Let's go, Kuwa. No
time to waste." ******************************* ******************************* |
