Hey everyone! I'm updating this way faster than I thought I would be able to, because school's finally out, so I can update a lot more! Yay! Well on with the story! Enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do own Cereu, but other than that, I've got jack.

: Chapter 12: Bloody Rage:

Kurama was waiting in what looked like a living room/lobby (once again, I know, weird)

A servant walked through two large oak doors and said "Lord Cereu will be with you in a moment. And I would watch what I say to him, if I were you. He's not in the best mood."

Kurama rolled hi eyes. 'Well this will be fun.' +Yes it will. Because I'm not in a good mood either. + stated Youko.

"Ah, so you must be the human I've heard so much about." A voice came from the doorway. Kurama turned to face the owner of the cold, deep, and almost depressing voice.

"And you must be, lord Cereu." Kurama said in a polite manor, as to not anger the man anymore than what had already been done.

"Yes, I am. Now I've heard some about you through Kagome. But she never told me your name. So tell me, boy, what is it?" Cereu said in a menacing tone, as if trying to scare Kurama.

Kurama kept his clam relaxed look and answered Suichi Minomino. Now may I ask you something?"

"Go ahead."

"Where is Kagome? I suggest you tell me now, before Youko gets here." Kurama warned.

"She's through those doors, all the way down the hall, turn left, and then go through the 2nd door to the right." Cereu answered simply.

'That's too easy. What is he planning?" Kurama thought. +I don't know. But wait just a minute before doing anything. + Youko said.

"Before you can get to her thought…" Cereu started. +Here's the catch. + "I just thought that you would like to know that, I broke my promise in the letter I left Youko."

Kurama's eye's flashed a hint of gold for a moment. "What did you do to her?" Kurama growled.

Cereu smirked and thought Good, if I get him angry enough, than I'll have a great fight ahead of me.

"I harmed her, just a bit. She has quite the mouth on her." Cereu answered.

Kurama's eyes were now completely gold, sliver strikes were starting to take over his red hair, and fox ears were starting to appear on top of his head. "You said you wouldn't hurt her at all if I followed your orders. So I did exactly what I was told to do. But you still hurt Kagome. That pisses me off to no extent." Kurama had fully changed into Youko now.

"Youko it's so nice to see you again." Cereu said, still calm.

"Cereu, don't get bubbly with me now. I don't want you to die happy." Youko growled as he lunged at Cereu. They both tumbled to the floor. Once they stopped rolling Youko startled Cereu, and was throwing punch after punch at him.

Cereu evaded most of them. The he managed to tuck his legs and release a powerful blow to Youko's stomach. You saw it in time and dodged, but still got some of the impacted.

Cereu got up and run towards Youko. He pulled out his dagger, as he got closer to Youko. When he thrust it towards him, he got Youko in the side. Cereu went at him again, but Youko grabbed his wrist and twisted it the opposite direction. Causing Cereu to drop the dagger, but as he did so, he punched Youko in the jaw. Throwing Youko down.

As Cereu went for his dagger, Youko shot a rose at the palm of his hand just before he got a hold of it.

Cereu yelped in pain and pulled back for a moment. When he pulled out the rose blood spued out and there was a green substance in it.

"What the hell is that!" Cereu yelled.

"Do you like it? It's a little concoction of poisons I came up with. If you don't get them out of your system soon, they will kill you. And it will be a long and painful death." Youko answered.

"Damn you…for now we'll end this. But don't think this is over yet, Youko Kurama." Cereu said in a venomous tone as he ran through the two oak doors.

Youko ran through the doors too, but not to follow Cereu, he was out to find Kagome.

He followed the directions that Cereu had given him. When he got to the door that Kagome was supposed to be behind, he opened it. There was a spiral staircase behind the door. Youko made his way down them.

Just as he descended the stairs, Kurama started to get a bad feeling. 'Youko, I think you should go back. It doesn't feel right.' Kurama warned. +No, Kagome is down there. I know it. So I'm not going back. + Youko said determined.

Just as he said that the floor beneath him gave away. Making Youko fall through the hole that had formed.

He landed in a room that had been felled with water up to his neck. Clink-clink-clink Youko looked up to see a grate coming down from the ceiling.

"Crap…" Youko growled.

He went under the water to try to find an exit. There was a camber door at the bottom of the room. Youko went back to the surface for more air.

There was only 3 inches left till the grate hit the water. +Well better make this last. + Youko thought. He went under and found the door. Once he grabbed the wheel (it's like a door on those huge freezers) he tried to turn it.

It was rusted shut. Youko panicked, as the ceiling was only a foot and a half away from him. He tried to turn it again this time giving it more of a push.

The wheel turned and Youko turned it three more times. It flew open and Youko was forced through the doorway.

When Youko got up, he choked for air. 'Youko are you alright?' Kurama asked. +Yeah. + Youko answered as he started to walk towards another door.

Youko opened it and saw that it led to a dungeon. +Well that's a fun way to get to a place where you're going to get tortured. + Youko said. 'I think it was made to kill someone Youko.' Kurama stated.

I knew that Kurama! I was just making a joke. Trying to lighten the mood. + Youko said.

When Youko looked to the right of him, he stopped dead in hi tracks. He saw something that terrified him. It was…Kagome chained and bloodied up. It sickened him.

"Kagome are you okay?" Youko asked as he pulled out a lock pick.

"Youko?" Kagome asked as she picked her head up to look at him.

"Yeah, it's me. Don't worry. I'll have you out of here in a minute." Youko said as he picked the last lock holding her.

"Youko why are you soaking wet?" Kagome questioned.

'Well I ran into Cereu earlier. We got into a little tiff. When that was over I went down this one stairwell. That happened to have a trap door, which led to a room full of water. And well it tried to drown me. But I'm find, now." Youko said as he got the last lock undone.

Kagome fell into his arms. He gave her a soft kiss. "Okay let's get out of here." Youko said as he put her on his back. Right away he found the stairwell that led them out of the mansion.

Youko found the portal Kurama had come through earlier and quickly found a way to open it. As they came through the other side, it disappeared, and Youko looked around trying to figure out where they were.

But his vision started to blur. "Kagome we have to stop for a bit." Youko said as he sat her down against a tree. When he got no response he quickly turned to see if she was ok.

Luckily Kagome only passed out. Then Youko felt a shot of pain at his side. He looked at his side that Cereu had stabbed and noticed that he had lost a lot of blood.

No wonder why I couldn't see straight. + Youko thought as he sat down next to Kagome. +Well we can rest here for a bit. + Youko said as he drifted to sleep.

:Hiei:

Hiei had been training for the past 5 hours. And was tired as hell. When he stopped, he thought he heard someone talking, but brushed it off.

'There's no one out in these parts of the woods. And if there is their probably lost.' Hiei thought as he smirked.

Then he heard a stick crack. It started to make him curious as to what was moving around so much. So he put his katana away and walked towards the sound.

As he walked through some bushes he saw Kagome laying against a tree, passed out. Then he saw Youko next to her, with his eye closed, and soaking wet.

'Hn. I see he found her.' Hiei thought to himself.

'Hiei?' Kurama asked as he made a mind link to him.

'What fox?'

'Can you take Youko and Kagome back to Yusuke's house?' Kurama asked.

'Why would I do something like that?' Hiei questioned.

'Because they're both injured. And because I need you to do this favor for me.' Kurama answered.

'Fine, but you owe me for this.' Hiei said as he walked towards the two.

'Thank you Hiei.'

'Hn.' With that Hiei cut off the mind link. He picked Kagome up and put Youko over his shoulder.

Hiei ran of in the direction of Yusuke's House.

:Yusuke's House:

"I wonder if pap found mama yet?" Shippo questioned.

"He probably got caught in a trap again." Inu-Yasha spat out.

Sango and Shippo winced at the statement as memories of that sorrowful day came back to them.

"He only got caught once, Inu-Yasha. Now lets drop it." Sango said. "Tch. Why do you always get so emotional when I mention something like that?" Inu-Yasha asked.

"Because I thought that papa died that day! That's why!" Shippo yelled as he busted into tears. Sango picked Shippo up and took him into another room to comfort him.

"You know, you really shouldn't make kid's cry like that." Kwuabara stated.

'The kid needs to be toughened up." Inu-Yasha said.

"Ok, now I'm gonna' stand up for the kid." Yusuke started, "If you were his age and thought your dad had died, I'm pretty sure that you would act that way too."

"Tch. Just let it go." Inu-Yasha said.

Then they all heard a thump outside the front door. Yusuke got up and opened the door to find Hiei with Kagome and a soaking wet Youko.

"Hiei?"

Hiei passed him and set Youko on the ground and Kagome on the couch. "What happened? Why is Youko so yet?" Kwuabara asked.

"Hn, how would I know? I found them in the woods." Hiei replied. Just then Youko started to wake up.

"Hum…what the hell…where am I?" he said groggily.

"Back at my place. You just got here." Yusuke answered.

"Oh…"

Youko started to sit up, but the way he sat himself up, hit the place where he had gotten stabbed. Sending a shot of pain through his body. He winced and lied back down.

"You ok Youko?" Kwuabara asked.

"Yeah. I just need to…uh…lie back down." Youko said.

"Hey you why are you so wet?" Miroku asked.

"Oh I fell into a room filled with water." Youko stated flatly.

The guys gave him odd looks. Then all of the sudden Shippo ran out of the room Sango had taken him into.

He jumped on Youko and yelled, "Papa! I knew you'd be back!"

Shippo just happened to land on Youko the right way, so that Youko jerked and pulled Shippo off of him.

Then Youko went into the fetal position and said, "ow, ow, ow, ow, ow..."

"Papa? Are you ok?" Shippo asked.
