Tristam- Frame of Mind, I remember, Till it's over, Once again

A/N: Decided to rewrite a bit, it was more of an add-on, so you will see everything that was here before, just expanded ^_^

Kuwabara's POV

Hiei glared at me, it wasn't my fault that the demons were stronger than we had been told, Koenma had misjudged the problem and so...Well, I wasn't the only one who got hurt! "You're useless, I don't know why you keep coming along when you're just going to drag the rest of us down!" Hiei shied away from Kurama who reached out for him and flitted out the window with a sneer.

Two words kept repeating over and over, useless, You're useless... He was right, I was, wasn't I? I did get hurt the worse out of all of us, and I was the weakest being human and all after all...There was nothing I could do about that. "Kuwabara..." I shook my head, it was time for me to go, this just wasn't. I wasn't meant for this kind of life, any more then a cat was becoming president. "It's fine, he's right. I do slow you guys down, I should focus on my life more than trying to lose it." I brushed Yusuke's hand off of my shoulder, "I have better things to do anyway."

I shoved my hands into my pockets and made my way out of the temple. It was hopeless anyway, there was so much I could have been doing with my life rather than fighting. Even if it was to save the world, to save a friend, to do any of the things I had done. Why hadn't I just asked Genkai to teach me to repress my powers and live a normal life?

Something moved behind me and I turned. No one was there, I was just deluding myself. They wouldn't come after me because they knew the truth, Hiei was right. I was-A clear plastic bag blocked my view and pulled tight against my throat, I gagged and struggled against the weight suddenly on my back, Thrashing I made out more people coming towards me. Someone grabbed my arms and another my legs. I couldn't breathe, couldn't fight back as my world began to black out...

I started awake, what the fuck just happened?! I opened my eyes and realized I wasn't anywhere I knew, what exactly was this place and why was I here? Had some demon decided it would use me against the others? A fat lot of good it would do it, they would only come because they had honor, not because I meant anything to them, how could I? A door opened, light bursting into the room like fireworks going off, and damn that was a huge man, bigger than most men. That was for sure.

"You are not to fight back, to talk back, or to do anything that we do not tell you to do. Otherwise, we will make sure your stay here is as horrible as possible, you got that?" The fuck was he talking about? I wasn't about to agree to any of that, "You can fuck off." The man smirked at me, his shades hiding most of his face. "I've heard that plenty over the years, but you're the only one who hasn't been afraid while saying it. Either you're very foolish or very brave." Some would say both, Hiei would just call me a moron. "I don't think you understand the gravity of the situation you are in. You see, you're here to be sold to the highest bidder so that they can do whatever they please with you."

Oh, oh shit, this was serious. "I won't let that happen." I was getting out of here, one way or another. "You have no choice in the matter, several of our 'guest' have requested you Kazuma Kuwabara. And you are going to be sold and they will torture you, maim you and make you beg for death before they kill you and your friends will not find you. Ever." This wasn't a random grab that you sometimes heard about, they had been after me. This was about something, maybe the black black club had a few people still alive? Maybe they finally decided to mess with us...And to do that they chose me, the weak link...

Kurama's POV

This was worrying, no one had seen Kuwabara in a week...Had he left because Hiei hurt his feelings? It really didn't feel like something he would do, but there had been nothing, no one gloating that they had taken one of us, and yet at the same time, he hadn't said he was leaving and never coming back.

"Where the hell could he be? No one's seen him in a week!" Yusuke shouted. "He was kidnapped," Shizuru said as she walked into the room. Wait, did I hear that right? "We don't know that." She shook her head; "Pop got a call about it actually. We filed a report when we realized he wasn't with you guys or anyone else, turns out a criminal recognized him and told the cops that he'd been taken so that he could be sold."

Oh, this was bad, whoever had taken him, did they know his affiliation with us or was this something different? "Have they found him?" Shizuru shook her head; "No, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time." Unless it was a demon matter then no one would find him alive..."Did the criminal say anything about why Kuwabara had been taken?" Shizuru sighed; "Something about payback for something. The cops think that Kazuma was up to some illegal things now because of that."

This was a demon thing then, it had to do with someone in our past that wanted revenge. This was not good, we had to find Kuwabara before they sold him because the moment he was sold there was very little we could do to find him...
