Another story... I love angst.
"Don't leave me alone..."
"I would never."
A warm hand, a gentle shoulder to lean against, a tender arm around a shoulder.
"How is he?"
"Not very good."
Yusuke Urameshi set his friend down on the ground, carefully. He looked back looked back up at his friends.
"Go get Yukina... or Genkai... or anyone! I don't think he can walk any farther..."
Hiei nodded, red eyes dotted with tears. Tears...? He was crying? Shaking his head, the demon turned and ran off into the darkness.
"C'mon, don't give up..." Said Yusuke, supporting his friends bloody head with an arm, "Please."
"Don't leave me... behind..."
"Don't worry. Yukina will be here soon. Hiei won't fail you..." Said Kuwabara, kneeling on the ground.
"I don't know what happened... they... came out of nowhere... Somehow..."
"I know... I'm sorry. Don't talk, just concentrate on staying alive, okay?" Yusuke felt tears burning in his own eyes, threatening to fall.
Silence.
Silence.
Silence.
Footsteps.
"Over here!" Cried the heavy voice of Hiei, and soon the shadowed form appeared beside Yusuke and Kuwabara.
Yukina, looking confused and worried, gasped when she saw the bleeding form. A pale hand over her mouth, she walked closer.
"You have to help him!" Pleaded Yusuke. Yukina nodded, and placed her hands over the most serious wound.
"Yusuke... What happened...?"
"They came out of no-" Yusuke was cut short.
"No... to Kurama... what happened?"
"He jumped in front of you to protect you. He didn't make it..."
"I hope his soul gets cleared..."
Kuwabara watched as the wound slowly began to disappear. The blood, however, did not. It had soaked deep into his friends shirt and Yusuke's arm was stained with it.
"Yukina... stop... you're wasting your energy."
"I am not. You're my friend! I won't let you die... like other people." Cried Yukina, crystal tears scattering everywhere. Her hands glowed brighter.
"It is a fatal wound..."
"Dammit! Stop talking like that!" Yelled Yusuke.
"You'll live! I know you will!" Put in Kuwabara.
"You've been through some bad things... This won't stop you." Said Hiei, putting a hand on his 'friends' shoulder.
"You would think... One demon attack... and it's all over. Yukina, I said stop it!"
Yukina narrowed her red eyes, determined. One pale hand reached up and batted hers away. The koorime gasped and recoiled.
"Listen... I can't be saved..."
"If you won't let Yukina heal you, then I will!" Yelled Yusuke, "I'll did what Kuwabara did after I beat the Saint Beasts!"
"That... won't work..."
"Please... What will we do without you?" Asked Kuwabara, tears falling.
"You'll shape up... I know... I'll..."
Eyes closed, then reopened.
"You guys were the closets things I ever had to real friends."
The three members of the Spirit Detectives still living bowed their heads.
"Kurama... will... get passage..."
A gasp, a choke.
"I... promise..."
"And you?" Asked Yusuke, brushing a stray strand of hair out of his friends eyes.
"I... don't know... they never told me... what will happen... when I die."
Silence.
Silence.
Silence.
"You'll be happy. Just kick some demon ass in hell for us, okay?"
"You can be sure of that, Yusuke."
And thus, Koenma, prince of the Spirit World, passed on to the great abyss known as death.
Woah. Another one from yours truly.
How was it?
Ehh, damn plot-bunnies.
Killed off two of my favorite characters in one fic.
