   Lookie see! I can post more often now!
Refi: True dat! {and you were probably thinking I was permanently resorting to shorter post, sorry, the stories are back!} Now that I have net access, you’re going to be seeing a lot more of me on here! BUWAHAHAHAHA *crosses arms over chest* WAHAHAHAHAH! *ahem* So as promised, I finally will be posting the next part of KuramaXRaven…and your wait was worth it, I’ve made it so it is really good! Although…it may be in a not G-rated category like how I like to keep things on my site >.> < .<

Refi: *looks down then back up and shouts* Hey! I'm wearing drawstring sweatpants, I don't have a zipper! *back to normal* Well hopefully this goes over well ^^ In the meantime, I came across some noteworthy videos on YouTube. Now I’m not one to share, but if you’re comp is like mine, you can start loading it while reading then you can watch it when you’ve finished the story ^^ Today I will share a bonus clip from the new Tales of Symphonia OVA. Now this is only in Japanese, but if you are familiar w/ the game (and maybe even if you aren’t) this it’s worthwhile to watch! It’s just funny to see them animated and moving and responding like Teen Titans I LOVE IT! ^o^ Going on w/ other vids by the same user, I Watched he whole first episode!!! Anna appears in it! ^o^ (well, it’s just a silhouette, but still YAY!)
Narrator: Last time {technically five post ago} Kurama and Raven were discharged from their assignment, but despite that they continued to gather clues regarding the mystery. After searching the character Ditz’s home cartoon to no avail, they decided to check out Demon World here in Kurama’s home cartoon YuYu Hakusho due to what they were told by Ditz while he was impersonating Hiei. Their search lead them to the dreaded Tower of Terror where many demons from this and other cartoons have suspiciously been gathering. The miasma to the tower is thick, but Kurama and Raven will not let this deter them! But what will they find inside this hideous tower?

*Title with some unrelated pun shines on the screen to music*

*The actual episode starts out with Kurama and Raven crossing the terrain shielded from the surrounding miasma thanks to Raven’s power. They reach the out side of the Tower of Terror*

Raven: It doesn’t look like it’s hard to get in.

Kurama: If they need all sorts of demons, then they would have use of anyone who tries to get in, so defensive measures are unnecessary. It is rare for a human to tread this far into Demon World, so only Demon’s are likely to enter, which will serve their purpose, but if a human bychance wanders in…well…with all the demons inside, you can imagine that they all would at some time get hungry and the human would not last long.

Raven: *flatly* Lovely.

Kurama: Shall we enter as unsuspecting victims, or try thinking of a less expected means of entrance?

Raven: Well, if we can enter inconspicuously through the front door, there is no need to search another approach.

*They take a peek into the front entrance and see nobody about. They walk in and start down the corridor.*

Raven: *emotionless* Wow. This is really terrifying.

*Suddenly they hear a creak behind them and turn in shock to see the doors behind them close, trapping them inside. The complete darkness only last a moment for out of nowhere lights, colors, and marionettes surround them with plastered smiles*

Marionettes: It’s a world of laughter a world of tears. It’s a world of hope it’s a world of fears. There’s so much that we share that it’s time we’re aware, it’s a Small World After All!

Raven: I just had to say something.

*Kurama and Raven wince as they cover their ears*

Kurama: What is the meaning of all this?

Raven: I take it this is a means of torturing demons.

Marionettes: It’s a small world after all! It’s a small world after all! It’s a small world after all! It’s a small, small, world!!

Kurama: Quick we must think of a way out of here.

Raven: You can use your whip on them while I make them fly against one another.

Kurama: NO! I think they may be the original Disney figures used on the ride that toured all over; it would be a crime to harm them.

Raven: I don’t even want to know how you know all that…

Kurama: Besides, tampering by force may cause worse harm to us, after all many other demons entered and were unable to damage them.

Marionettes: There is just one moon and one golden sun, and the smile means friendship to everyone. Though the mountains divide and the oceans are wide, It’s a Small World After ALL!!!

Kurama: This way! *grabs Raven’s wrist and runs straight ahead despite the ominous smiling faces, pulling her along* Jump!

*Kurama leaps into the air soon after giving Raven enough time to prepare herself as she jumps behind him. Kurama curls and flips in the air and Raven follows the movement so as not to twist her arm that Kurama has himself still attached too. They pass over the Marionettes only to find a carnival-like wall behind them, but Raven makes a black circle appear that they go through and both do another flip before landing. They rise and both use a free hand to push the hair away from their faces.*

Raven: You know, we could have just flown.

Kurama: But this way was more fun *hand slips down to hers and smiles*

Raven: *blush*

MEANWHILE IN SALLY SUE’S SECRET LAIR:
Sally Sue: *watching Kurama and Raven on a screen* WOOT WOOT! Victory! *pushes a tape button that starts playing Romeo and Juliet music and does a victory dance that has a completely different beat and mood* Somebodies owe M&M’s!!!

Bob: *walking by then backs up to stick head in through doorway* Hey, shouldn’t you be assigning “real spies” to figure out why your “fake case” turned real?

Sally Sue: But Kurama and Raven are persuing the “fake case” against my orders, I’m sure they’ll be able to uncover what is really going on, and look! My original plan is still working reguardless! *hits replay* They just held hands! We get M&Ms now!

Bob: I don’t think those rules you set up with your roommates carry over to cartoons. >.> Besides you should be more concerned about Ditz being on the loose than candy.

Sally Sue: I am concerned about Ditz, and I’m watching them find the answers for me so I can put things back the way they go! *resumes victory dance*

Bob: *sigh* There is just no reasoning with you…

*Zoom in on the screen Sally Sue was watching to return to:*
THE UNSUSPECTINGLY STALKED COUPLE
*Quick as Kurama’s hand slipped down to hold Raven’s, it continued to slip as he turns and walks down the corridor.*

Raven: Wait!

Kurama: *turns back* Yes?

Raven: Uh… *cheeks turn red as averting eyes* (thinking: I kind of want to kiss him right now…What am I doing? His hand just brushed against mine, he wasn’t trying to hold it. But then again there was back at the parlor where his friend called me his girlfriend, but that was really Ditz in disguise, but he said that he mimicked him well, so the thought isn’t completely bizarre. I mean it really wouldn’t have been any trouble for me to fly, so was he just looking for an excuse to touch me and that was why it was more fun? Or did he just forget I could levitate? Why am I even stressing over this?! I’m just over-analyzing the situation. I’m looking too deep into this. I need to get control over my emotions and not let them rule me.) *looks straight at Kurama and states* I need to meditate.

Kurama: Um, okay. *lets Raven go off to a dark secluded corner* (thinking: Did I offend her by grabbing her wrist? I guess I’m moving too fast.)

Raven: *off in own little corner* Azeroth Metrion Zinthos. Azeroth Metrion Zinthos. Azeroth Metrion Zinthos.

*Hours pass until Raven comes back to where Kurama has been waiting, leaning against the wall*

Kurama: Welcome back.

Raven: I am ready to proceed now.

Kurama: While waiting, I did some scouring through my grape vines *holds up a gnarly twig* and found some things.

Raven: Like where Ditz is and what he is doing here?

Kurama: Not exactly, but I have been able to pinpoint the location of Hiei. Apparently he is being held captive, this way. *signals direction and starts walking, following a vine*

Raven: (thinking: I suppose before that was nothing after all) *follows Kurama*

Kurama: Perhaps when this is all done we can go to a café or something together. Have a cup of herbal tea, share some poetry?

Raven: *petite smile* That sounds nice. As long as your poetry isn’t “Roses are red, vi…” *giggle*

Kurama: *chuckle* “Raven is sweet?” *pause*

Raven: *blush* “And so are you.”

Kurama: *Smiles* Then you can recite Poe’s Raven? “Nevermore?”

Raven: I do have others I could share.

Kurama: As do I... *comes to where vine is emerging from the ground* Hiei is in the room right below us.

*Raven nods and makes a black hole appear underneath her and slowly descends into the room below where music and Hiei’s screams become apparent*

Marionettes: IT’S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL! IT’S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL!

Hiei: NO! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOR THE LOVE OF MAKE IT STOP!!!

*Raven lands in front of Hiei who is chained at the wrist and wriggling to break free and cover his ears. Raven surrounds them in a black sphere to drown out the noise and colors. Relieved, Hiei breathes heavily with his head hung. Raven envelopes the chains with her power and causes them to break off. Hiei falls down to the ground in a curl.*

Raven:*monotone voice* It’s okay now. Kurama and I have come to get you out of here.

Hiei: *looks up at Raven* Kurama? Where is he?

Raven: He’s up above waiting for us.

Hiei: *stands up alertly* FOOL! You’ve left him in a trap!


Yusuke: *narrating while clips of the next episode flash across the screen* Hey have you guys all missed me? Sure Hiei gets to pop up and spoil Kurama’s date but what about me? I’m the star of the cartoon that they’re in right now! And I don’t even get a stupid cameo! Puh. So we found the real Hiei, but now Kurama is in danger? Well, as long as there’s no more of those freaky puppets. The next episode should be more appropriate for adults to watch, so tune in Next Time! And tell Sally Sue to have me join in on their mission!



Bonus Feature:
I submitted fanarts! I know that happens once in a blue moon, well there was a blue moon last month so I figured it was time. My friend drew them and I colored them ^^ Enjoy!
