Sick Lie
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho.
Information: Blah is flash backs. Blah is Kurama's thoughts in the normal time.
Kurama was kneeling on the ground in the forest by the city. He's breath came out in sharp, choking, pants. This was because of the sprint he had just pulled off. It would seem as if he had been training, but his eyes we're wide in horror. He was shaking voilently and crushing the grass of the forest floor in his hand. He's eyes pricked and the tears that began pouring down his cheeks were no noticed. His mind, the one that was always think up some clever plan or form of teasing, was blank. He couldn't think. The questions 'who am I', 'where am I', and 'why am I here' crossed unanswered. He expected Hiei to show up and state how weak he looked. Hiei...where was Hiei? He was just with them, right? Then it came back and it felt like a slap in the face. He was remembering bit by bit.
Kuwabara, Hiei, and himself had been heading to Genkai's temple to spar with Yusuke. They had just returned from the battle with Sensui days ago.
"I swear Urameshi just doesn't know when enough is enough." Kuwabara sighed.
"Funny, you were the idiot who was so hyper about it yesterday." Hiei commented.
"Shut up, tiny!"
Kurama snickered at the two. When they reached the temple Kuwabara called out for Yukina. That was normal, but Yukina never came. He tried again, but nothing happened, it was quiet. Too quiet.
"Hiei, Kuwabara, go to the training fields. I'll check the house." Kurama ordered.
No! Don't listen! Don't go back there!
The two nodded and head towards the back as Kurama entered the house. He carefully looked in each room. He didn't find anyone, until he saw a small figure against a wall. He ran toward the familar old woman, Genkai. She was in bad shape, bleeding through her clothes and eyes only open a small amount. There wasn't much life in them.
"Genkai!" Kurama yelled, kneeling to help.
"No." she whispered.
"What?" he asked dumbfounded."We have to treat your wounds. Where are the others?"
Genkai stared at the floor. Kurama's aready worried expression turned paniced.
"Where are they?! Yukina?! Botan?!" Kurama shouted.
Don't answer, please. Don't.
"They... They're dead." she whispered.
"No." Kurama said.
"Yusuke... Yusuke!" Genkai was trying to speak as she held on to Kurama's shirt.
"Yusuke? What about Yusuke?! Is he alive?!"
"Yusuke...is...he," she took a deep breath."Yusuke...killed...t-them."
She died. Kurama sat there with a look of pure shock. Then it turned to a disbelieving one.
"No." he mumbled.
It's true.
"You're lying. Yusuke would never. He could never." Kurama reasoned with heimself.
A scream made Kurama run out to the training grounds. What he saw was what scared him. Kuwabara was on the ground, his eyes rolled back and lifeless. He was in a puddle of his own blood. Hiei was alive, but a clawed hand had just ran through his stomach. Hiei choked up blood and turned his gaze to Kurama. Kurama looked to the face of the owner of the arm.
No, don't look.
It was Yusuke. In demon form. Killing Hiei. The bodys of Kuwabara, Yukina, and Botan around him. He looked at Kurama.
That's not Yusuke.
Yusuke grinned wickedly. He was enjoying this.
He would never. He's not Yusuke! He's not!
Yusuke pulled out his arm and Hiei fell face-first into the ground. The new-born demon started toward Kurama slowly. Kurama's eyes were glued to Hiei, who raised his head and mouthed a word. Run. Kurama turned and ran, he ran as fast as he could, as far away from this sick lie as he could.
Now he was here. Sobbing on the forest floor, agony clear on his face. His friends were gone. He had lost Kuwabara, Botan, Yukina, Hiei, Genkai, and...he had lost Yusuke. What was he going to do now? Was Yusuke coming to kill him too? Was he going to join his friend's bodys? Was he going to die?
Am I going to be killed by the one who saved my life? Is this some cruel twist of fate? Is someone in spirit world or demon world watching and laughing, does this amuse you?! Please. I can't-I can't take this. Wake up. This is a dream, wake up. Wake up. Wake up...
"Kurama! Hey, buddy! Wake up!"
Two green ords snapped open. Kurama looked around him, the faces of his friends stared down at him with concern.
What? How?
"He's awake!" Kuwabara stated.
"Really, I couldn't tell." Hiei said.
"Shut up, runt!"
"Now, now kids." Yusuke mock scolded."Calm down."
"Fine, but he started it." Kuwabara mumbered.
The people in the room laughed cheerfully. Kurama continued to stare at them with wide eyes.
"Are you okay?" Yukina asked.
He tried to speak, but nothing came out.
It was a dream? They're alive?
"Hello?" Botan said waving a hand infront of his face.
It was a dream! Oh my god, thank you!
He stood and everyone stared at him dumbly as he walked around the room and hugged everyone, even Hiei. They we're all pretty surprised of the fox's actions.
"What the hell is wrong with you?!" yelled Hiei after he regained his senses."Why did you just-! Kurama, why are you crying?"
Kurama smiles as the tears rolled down his cheeks. He chuckled and sat back down.
"It's nothing." he replied.
They're alive!
"Just a bad dream."
Fishy: I don't know why I wrote this really. I guess I'm kinda depressed. It holds it's own message though. Okay! Thanks for reading and please review!
