Revenge Isn't Always Sweet Chapter 1
"Hiei!" Kurama yelled when he saw Hiei drop to the ground in front of him after being hit by a huge energy blast. "That blast was intended for me. Why did you get in the way?" Kurama pleaded as he kneeled beside Hiei.
Hiei winced in pain. "I couldn't let him kill you. I'll be fine. Don't worry about me. Just defeat Shiren."
Kurama nodded, "I'll do my best to defeat him. You better stay alive." He ran towards Shiren. "I'll make you pay for that somehow, Shiren."
Shiren began to laugh, "Please, you can't even get close enough to hit me with that whip of yours." He prepared for another energy blast. "If you dodge this, it'll hit your wounded friend back there. I'm sure he won't be able to survive this."
Kurama stopped running. "Leave him out of this."
"Why should I?" He released the energy. "Dodge it if you want him dead."
Kurama remained still accepting the full power of the blast. He flew back landing only feet away from Hiei. "I'm sorry, Hiei." He closed his eyes as a wave of pain engulfed him.
Shiren walked over to Hiei. "It's a pity he didn't let you die. Oh well, it doesn't matter. I'll still get what a came for," he laughed.
Hiei growled, "What do you mean by that?"
"I was planning on taking him uninjured, but he seems to care for you greatly," he replied.
Hiei tried to stand but failed. "Don't touch him."
Shiren smirked, "What are you going to do about it?" He stepped over Hiei and picked Kurama up. "I'm waiting. What are you going to do?"
Hiei narrowed his eyes. "Damn you, put him down." He reached for his katana and swung it at Shiren's legs.
Shiren jumped up avoiding the blade. "Nice try, but not good enough." He landed in the same spot.
Hiei growled and swung the katana again, this time making contact with his target. "I figured you wouldn't be prepared to dodge it twice."
Shiren fell to his knees still holding Kurama. "Just feel lucky that I'm choosing to ignore the fact you injured me, otherwise, I'd kill you." He stood up. "Don't bother coming after me. I'll kill him if you do," he laughed as he disappeared.
"Don't think I'm through with you, Shiren. I'll make you pay," Hiei yelled. He looked around. "Where are the spirit detective and that idiot? They should have been here." He closed his eyes. "Kurama."
*Five Minutes Later*
Yusuke and Kuwabara stepped out of a portal. "Ok we're here. Hiei, Kurama where are you guys?" both asked in unison.
"Hiei, where's Kurama?" Yusuke asked.
Hiei didn't move. He just stared at the ground.
"Answer the question, shrimp," Kuwabara yelled.
Hiei sighed, "He's gone. Shiren took him."
"What? How can that be?" Yusuke asked.
Hiei shook his head, "I don't know. Somehow he beat us and took Kurama."
Yusuke kneeled beside Hiei. "It looks like he beat you good. Come on let's get out of here."
"No, I won't go. I have to stop Shiren."
"Hiei, you need to heal first, and you can't go alone. Shiren is obviously to powerful."
"Don't tell me what to do. I can take care of myself," Hiei snarled. He stood up and ran as fast as he could.
"Hiei, come back," Yusuke yelled. "Damn! Why doesn't he listen."?
*******
Shiren walked into his house hidden deep in the forest. "This is a perfect plan to get back at Hiei. He took my love from me, so I'll take his lover's life." He placed Kurama on his bed. "I'll keep you alive for now Kurama. It will be better to see Hiei's pain if I kill you in front of him." He began laughing. "First I need to make sure you live long enough for Hiei to come." He summoned his healer to the room. "I need you to heal him enough so he'll live."
"Yes, sir," she said. She began to glow. Do you want him conscious?"
"No, just heal him so he'll live."
She nodded and began to heal Kurama. She made sure all his major wounds were healed. "Ok, I'm finished. His worst wounds are healed, and he will live," she stated.
"Good, thank you. You may leave."
She bowed to Shiren and walked out of the room.
Shiren stared out of the window. "I know you'll come for him, Hiei. I'll be waiting for you." He walked over to the bed and smirked.
*******
Hiei was looking around franticly. "I've got to find Shiren. For some reason he seems familiar from somewhere." He turned around. ~How did they find me?~
"Hiei," Yusuke said, "wait. Wait for us. We can help you."
"Yeah, Kurama is our friend too," Kuwabara added.
Hiei growled, "You two will have to keep up with me if you want to help."
Yusuke sighed, "You know we can't keep up with you. Let's work together. There's a better chance of beating Shiren that way."
Hiei narrowed his eyes, "I won't work with you if you can't keep up or stay close." He took off running. ~Kurama, I'll find you. I promise.~
Kuwabara looked at Yusuke. "Now what do we do Urameshi? He's too fast."
"We run," Yusuke replied. He began to run followed by Kuwabara.
~They'll never be able to keep up with me.~ Hiei smirked and began to run at full speed.
"Hey, Urameshi, I lost sight of him," Kuwabara yelled.
"I know, so did I. He must not want us to follow him."
*******
Kurama woke up with his head pounding. "What happened? Where am I?"
Shiren walked over to him. "You and Hiei lost the battle. I brought you here to my house. You are the perfect bait to get back at him."
"What do you mean?"
"Hiei killed my only true love. I wanted revenge, but I was weak. Now I'm stronger, and I have a way to get my revenge. You are his lover, Kurama. I'll kill you in front of him to make him pay," he replied.
"Do you really think he'll let you live if you kill me?"
"No, of course not, he'll probably kill me, but not until after my revenge."
Kurama sighed and mumbled to himself.
Shiren laughed and pulled Kurama out of the bed. "Come with me."
"It seems that I don't have a choice in the matter."
Shiren glared and drug Kurama out of the room forcefully. "Don't test my patience. I could kill you now if I wished to do so." He pulled Kurama down some stairs into what looked like a dungeon. You'll be staying here from now on. If and when Hiei gets here, I'll kill you, but if he doesn't come, you'll stay here until the day you die." He pushed Kurama against a wall and put his wrists in shackles. "Have fun," he mocked. He walked out of the dungeon and back upstairs.
Kurama lowered his head.
*******
~Where could he be?~ Hiei had searched nearly half of the Makai. He took off his bandana covering the jagan. He began searching for any sign of Kurama or Shiren. He pushed the jagan to its limit. ~I still can't find them.~ He sighed, "I'll find you somehow."
*******
Yusuke and Kuwabara gave up the pursuit on Hiei. They decided to look on their own.
"Urameshi, do you think Kurama is still alive?"
"Of course he's alive. Why wouldn't he be?" Yusuke yelled.
"Um, I don't know. I was just asking."
"Don't ask questions like that. Kuwabara. If he was dead, Botan would have told us."
"Oh, you're right, Urameshi."
