A Rose to Stop Darkness By MysticHakai24





Summary: AU. Yuusuke never did stop Hiei and rescue the Shadow Sword or Keiko. Thus, the world has come to an end. All of Reikai, Makai, and Ningenkai are now under the control of their Master, Hiei. But news has suddenly come to them that Hiei's true desire was not his sister, but Kurama. Yaoi - H+K









Yuusuke looked up from his spot on the floor. He felt useless. He was covered with blood from head to toe, his vision was hazy in a way, and his entire body was battered and limp. Yuusuke felt completely useless. Hiei smirked down at the boy, his lips twitching upwards in an evil smirk. "I told you, Urameshi. I did tell you that you were no match for me. And now," he picked up all three treasures, "I can have all bow down to my feet! Life is wonderful, don't you agree?" "You bastard!" Yuusuke spat. He coughed up some more blood. It splattered on the ground, joining the rest. "I'm gonna beat you into a ragless doll covered in your own blood!" He tried to pick himself up, but fell as his weight rested on his broken hand. Hiei cackled, his voice being an intrusion to the other's ears. "Don't you think that it's a bit late to be saying that, ningen? And excuse me if I'm wrong but I think you are the ragless doll on the floor coated by your own blood." His gaze rested on three other people a little farther. "And I think that your friends are in a bit of trouble." Yuusuke looked to his right and he wondered if things could get worse. Botan was blowing her hand which bore many cuts upon it. Kurama was now trying to get his hands to stop the Jagan from opening on Keiko's forehead. His pale and slender hands were now cut and bruised. And Kurama was still holding on; longer than Botan had done. "They're being a nuisance," Hiei stated. "Once I rule the three worlds, I'll need a slave. So with me I shall have your beloved KEEEIIIIIIIIKKKOOOOO! Ha!" He immediately transformed back into his green- skinned, eye-covered body. And to Yuusuke, it looked worse than before. "Ah!" Kurama was blown back. A large bunch of static electicity had just bolted out from the Jagan and now the third eye was opeing faster than before. Botan quickly rushed to stop it but she was too late and too slow. The third eye had opened completely. "NO!" Yuusuke exclaimed. But it was no use, Keiko was now a demon. The only good thing was that she was still unconscious. "Keiko... Iie..." Yuusuke felt his power grow immensely, charging all the way up. "You... You... You BASTARD!" He raised his fingers swiftly to point at Hiei who was still eyeing his new 'slave'. "Rei Gun!" A large blast of energy flew past, aiming for the demon. Hiei sensed it and turned, only to be blinded by a flash of light. His eyes were blinded but his legs moved quicker than his mind and the shot missed. Hiei cursed himself for being too careless. "Nearly killed me," he muttered. Yuusuke stared, his brown eyes widened. How could he have missed the shot? He had much energy and it was a surprise move! "Damn!" he cried. Then to himself, he muttered softly, "As if I wasn't going to already." Hiei grabbed his cloak and flung it on. "You know what? I know a little fact. Want to hear it?" Yuusuke just glared and remained silent. "Well, I'll tell you anyway. When you're the Master of all three worlds, everyone will obey you. There will be no fun. So I'm gonna let you train a bit and when you're stronger than you are now, come see me. We'll have a friendly match." He picked the three treasures up again and was about to leave when a voice shouted: "Rose whip!" Kurama appeared behind him with a long green wip covered by sharp, pointed thorns. "You forgot about ME!" He lashed at Hiei who jumped up and narrowly dodged. Hiei soon appeared at the entrance. "I suppose so. I did forget about you." He spat on the floor. "But same thing with the ningen. Train up a bit, will 'ya? Hn." He walked out and turned one last time. "Sayonara."

Kurama gave Yuusuke a stare that was compared to the stare from his gaze upon his mother's sick form. "I-It's entirely my fault. I should have- " "Don't say that! It's no one's fault! And if someone is to blame, then blame on that asshole!" Yuusuke cried, tears on his face. "I've let Keiko down..." Botan came running up. "He's gone right?" The two males nodded. "Okay. You two take care of Keiko. I've got to go and tell Koenma-sama. And you two, don't leave your houses. Actually, Kurama, go to Yuusuke's apartment. This way I can contact you if there's a problem." Botan sighed wearily and shook her head sadly. "And I think that Koenma-sama would want to talk to you." She gently touched her wounded hand and looked up after gving a small wince. "Ja." Botan took her oar out and hopped on it, flying away quickly to report to the Spirit World. "And try to heal!" she cried back. Yuusuke calmly walked over to Keiko and looked down at her. "Keiko... Gomen nasai..." He picked her up gently. "Kurama. Let's go." The redhead nodded and let Yuusuke catch up to him before continuing. They walked away from the warehouse (?) and quickly down the streets. The two broke into a run and approached Yuusuke's apartment in no time. They ran up the stairs, the elevator wasn't working. Kurama was currnetly blaimng himself for the occurance. His guilty expression was hidden by his blood-red hair. Yuusuke found his apartment. He forgot his keys, but that wasn't a problem. Yuusuke kicked the door open, leaving a a piece of the door falling on the floor. He took off his shoes while running and collapsed in his own room. Kurama took his shoes off calmly and shut the door with a soft 'click'. He looked around the apartment and pinched his nose. There was a very strong alcohol smell lingering throughout the room. Many cans of beer and sake lie on the floor, scattered among newspapers. Kurama felt Yuusuke's ki and quickly ran to the younger boy's room, wanting to leave the strong odor. He shut the door behind him and winced as he saw Yuusuke's wounds which were being ignored by the owner. "Yuusuke, it won't help Yukimara-san if you're injured." Kurama found some bandages and medicing under the bed, in case of gang fights, he presumed. "Let me help you wrap your wounds up," he said softly, remembering the hole in his stomach. But friends came first. So Kurama ignored it for now.
