Reikai Tantei - Down The Well

Yu Yu Hakusho (c) Yoshihiro Togashi. Inuyasha (c) Rumiko Takahashi.
((Don't let the rushed yaoi scene turn you off...remember they were on a mission, and possibly being watched by Naraku. No time to draw it out...yet that is. Hang in there for Kuwabara/Sango, Miroku/Hiei, Kagome/Yusuke, Inuyasha/Yoko, and Botan/Sesshomaru. Heh...if I feel creative maybe even Yoko/Sesshomaru.))

CHAPTER SEVEN

"Ants say yea?" The old miko raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, Kaede." Kurama said. "Naraku must be sending his energy slowly to the well with these."

"Yes, tis possible. And so quiet, we'd never know...hmmm." She looked closer at the jar.

"Kagome...when we were by the mounds did you notice any weird energy?" Kurama sipped his tea.

The group, sans Hiei, sat around the fire in Kaede's hut. They had taken out the mounds, and ants. Even though they were all gone, the warped energy still covered the well.

"Just Naraku's youkai...Why do you ask?" She blinked.

"I'm not certain, but for a moment I sensed another aura. It had the same scent, but the youki was slightly different. It wasn't strong enough to totally hone in on."

"Naraku has an array of demon conglomerate's...All of which come from his own body. We may be dealing with another incarnation." Miroku closed his eyes and took a quiet sip.

"Keh, that just proves we are. All his abominations reek of his stench." Inuyasha showed a little fang.

"It's not that difficult to see what's going on here" Hiei's voice made everyone but Kurama and Yusuke jump.

"And what's your theory, oh elusive one?" Yusuke turned to face him as he stood in the doorway.

"Naraku could have possessed those ants, but do you really think those things could have built the mounds we destroyed?"

"That did bother me..." Kurama nodded.

"And they started in the middle of nowhere. You and Inuyasha said you smelt Saimyosho, why would Naraku watch himself? He couldn't have known we were there, so he wasn't watching us...and I doubt he brought them for the company. Not to mention even with his power, he couldn't have controlled those mounds from the spot we found his imprint."

"Is there a point to this shorty?" Inuyasha was tired and didn't feel like hearing someone else make him feel stupid. Kagome gave him a death glance, while Yusuke covered his mouth to hide his smile.

//That hanyou doesn't know what he's doing...//
The Spirit Detective couldn't hold back the laugh. Hiei gave him a glare that made him want to hide, so he coughed, playing the laugh off. No one bought it.

"Anyway!!" Hiei fumed, "Naraku must have another incarnation and it is they who in fact are controlling the well. Unknowingly being Naraku's pawn." Hiei then flashed out of the hut.

"Humph.."Kurama laughed a little. "He is correct I believe."

"Sounds like the bastards past record. Naraku loves to use people and demons." Inuyasha got up.

"Where are you going?" Kagome looked up at him.

"I'll be back, I'm going to check things out."

"I'll go with you." Miroku stood.

"Keh, whatever." He waved a hand, sighing.

"I'm going to. I wanna make sure no more of those weird demon ants get to the well." Kuwabara bounced out. He quickly stopped and bowed to Kagome, Kaede and Sango, "Ladies..." He said as a short goodbye.

"So, anyone else leaving suddenly?" Yusuke smiled at the remaining people.

"Kagome, will you take a walk with me, please?" Sango stood, suprising them at her tone.

"Ahh, sure." She walked out not knowing why she wanted to walk this late. Shippo worked his way to Kagome's shoulder.

"So, it's just us three then." Kurama shifted from his knees to sitting with them flat out, wincing slightly.

"Sorry, actually it's you two. I must go to the head shrine and place these sutras to protect the well." Kaede exited slowly.

"Hey?" Yusuke's voice was much softer now.

"Hnn?" The sleepy emerald eyes looked up curious, the fire making them dance.

"You okay? You look a little pale." Yusuke crawled over closer to the red head.

"I'm fine, just tired."

"You know, I purposely put you and I together today so we could be near each other...but you went off with Inuyasha."

Just the mention of the days events caused Kurama to blush. Yusuke just assumed it was from what he had said. Kurama stared dreamily as his mind wandered to all the lovely positions he experienced. Until wet lips on the top of his ear snapped him awake.

"Ahh..." He sighed loudly. His body extra sensitive from all the orgasms earlier in the day.

"Did I startle you?" Yusuke leaned in again and kissed his friends neck this time.

"Yu...suke..." Kurama moaned as the Spirit Detective captured his mouth.

He sighed into the kiss as Yusuke sucked lightly on his tongue. He felt his leg twinge as heat rose to his core. He was still so over stimulated. His heart felt it would explode in his chest. Yusuke pulled back and looked concerned at his friend; he was shaking and out of breath, sweaty and flushed. It was all of Yusuke's control to keep from taking him right on the floor.

"You sure your okay?" Yusuke whispered slowly kissing the tip of Kurama's nose.

"Mmm hmm..." He nodded unable to find his voice yet.
//Gods! What has that hanyou done to me?! One kiss and I'm ready to bust...// Kurama's frantic mind screamed at him.

He closed his eyes and leaned into Yusuke's embrace, he felt so dizzy. Even for an entrapped Yoko, this was too much all at once. He opened his eyes to see Yusuke staring deeply at him.

"You want to lie down in the back for a while?...I still don't buy 'your fine'."

Kurama nodded and somehow stumbled to the little mats. When he lay down he felt everything spin and he sighed deeply, laying on his stomach. He felt Yusuke's strong hands rubbing his back thorough the dark pink uniform. He wanted to say thank you, but he couldn't open his mouth. He smiled weakly thinking by now Yusuke could see how dangerously low his spirit energy was. Then, black...

//He's asleep?// Yusuke kept rubbing though.
//It can't still be that plant. What happened that would completely drain him?//
Yusuke let go and sat back, watching his new obsession. How innocent his face appeared, his tiny mouth slightly open. Yusuke smiled and leaned back, trying to figure out his Kitsune.

"Inuyasha? Where did you get all those scratches on your back?" Miroku asked. He couldn't see the hanyou blush.

"Must have been when we fell..." He lied sinking into the hot spring. The two had satisfied their minds and decided it was safe to bathe.

"Must have been some fall..." Miroku wasn't buying it. He, being as promiscuous as he was, knew all to well what 'love scratches' were when he seen them. But who was the scratcher?

"Can we just drop it?!" Inuyasha turned angrily to face him.

"Woah, woah...such hostility. Yari, yari..." Miroku smiled.

"I think I'm done here." Inuyasha jumped out of the spring and grabbed his clothes. Blushing, knowing the monk was staring at his nudity. Within seconds, he had his hakuma on and was gone.

"Humph, looks like I hit a nerve." Miroku leaned back against the rock edge. This could be the only free time he had, he wanted to enjoy it.

The moon was big and beautiful. Just as he sighed in contentment he heard a small splash on the other side of the spring. The two areas were separated by rock and bushes. Curiosity out weighed his relaxation, and he silently wadded to the most secluded spot to spy on the splasher.

//Hmm...now who its it?//
Miroku peeked through some foliage. He was about to give up when a small figure came up from the water.
//It's that one?//
Miroku's eyebrows raised. He hadn't expected Hiei. Maybe Sango, or Kagome...or even Inuyasha again.
//Eh...he's still quite attractive.//
Miroku smiled, his countenance changed when he seen silvery tears streaking the Koorime's face. His shoulders shook slightly.
//I wonder what's wrong?//
