Hi! I'm back with another story! (I'm like one of those pests that you can't get rid of, aren't I?) Anyway, this story is darker and bloodier than my other ones, but it does work humor in too.
Warning: Shonen-ai, KuramaxHiei as usual. Violent scenes, character death (sort of). The characters may be a little OOC because I haven't seen many Yu Yu Hakusho episodes, so I take their personalities from the manga that I've read and other fanfics.
Disclaimer: on my profile. Go look and tell me if I'm lying.
Chapter 1: Darkness
Kurama was floating alone in a black void. He couldn't see anyone, but he could hear their voices. Voices he knew, his friends talking to each other. The fox didn't know what they were saying, but he had the impression they were in trouble.
He tried calling out to them, but the only response was a soft echo.
I wish I could see them. Kurama thought.
He was getting scared because he didn't know what was going on, and didn't seem to have any control over it. Suddenly, a fuzzy outline of what appeared to be people became visible. The image sharpened until Kurama recognized Yusuke, Hiei, and Kuwabara.
He gasped and tried to dart over to them, but found that his body refused to move. Yusuke and Kuwabara, both bleeding from severe wounds, were kneeling next to Hiei, who wasn't moving at all.
The fire demon had multiple slashes all over his body. The bandages that usually covered his right arm were missing, revealing that he'd used the dragon. Kurama was beginning to worry about his lover's stillness when Hiei's eyes fluttered open.
"W-where's Kurama?"
His voice was hoarse, and, as he spoke, a small line of blood trickled from the side of his mouth.
Kurama tried to tell the demon that he was all right, to worry about himself; but nobody seemed to hear him, and he was still unable to move. The fox wanted to run to his lover, hold onto him and tell him everything was okay. He wanted to heal him, to take away all the pain Hiei was feeling.
But he couldn't.
He was completely helpless, and it was driving him crazy.
Yusuke was speaking now, his voice shaking, "He-he didn't make it, Hiei, I'm really sorry."
Kurama was forced to watch as disbelief, and then pure agony took over the fire demon's features.
"What?" he said softly, looking as if he was trying very hard to keep calm.
"He didn't make it, Kurama's dead…" Yusuke repeated. He seemed to be attempting to hold back tears.
I'm…dead? But, how? What happened?
"No…" Hiei whispered.
Kurama's shock turned to terror as Hiei drew a dagger from nowhere and plunged it into his heart, oblivious to Kurama's anguished screams.
So, what do you think? This is my first attempt at any sort of angst, so tell me how I did please. I personally like this fic; it might just be my favorite so far.
Hiei: WTF! Why am I dead!
Kurama: Yes, why is my Hi-chan dead, and, for that matter, why am I dead!
Me: Err, well, if you'll just wait till the next chapter, I'll explain everything!
Both: glare
Hiei: You'd better. goes over to kiss Kurama
Me: -.-#
