Chapter 1- Cursed

The serene forest scene was interrupted by the sounds of a nearby battle. Birds took flight from their nests. The deer took their young to safety. Rabbits perked their long ears and dove for burrows.

Kurama stood next to a tree. One could almost swear that they saw the eternal flames of Hell within those green orbs. Across his stomach was a giant slash. His tiny hand could barely contain the steady stream of bright red blood.

Yusuke was on his hands and knees trying desperately to stand. He had tapped into the very last of his spirit energy and now he could feel its effects. Such devastating effects they were. It was almost impossible for him to breathe.

Kuwabara shakily stood and stumbled to his friend. Red trickled from a cut over his right eye. Blood also flowed freely down his pants leg from a hidden wound. The red fell and pooled on the lovely green grass. Oh what a sickening color the two made when mixed together. That color could make the strongest shudder.

Hiei ran over to the demon sword unsheathed. Chuckling the blue monstrosity flung his hand out backhanding Hiei. Taken by surprise by this attack he was unable to defend. That one mistake of underestimating the enemy bought Hiei a one way ticket to an old oak tree.

The blue demon turned his head to the unconscious fire demon. The red headed fox ran over to his fallen friend. Smiling wickedly the demon stepped closer to the unconscious form.

Instinctively Kurama laid himself over his fallen friend. As the demon raised his hand Kurama closed his eyes and waited for the blast. Injured as he was there was nothing else that he could do except hope and pray that his sacrifice would save his friend.

"Hey ugly forget about me?" The demon glanced behind him and found Yusuke in his spirit gun pose.

"You're weak. You don't scare me!" He turned back to the two demons. "Once I'm done with the demon traitors I'll deal with you."

'That's what you think' Yusuke thought as he gathered up the very last of his energy. "No way jerk." Reaching as deep as he could Yusuke fired out the very last of his spirit energy. Then Yusuke bravely, or perhaps stupidly, gathered a small amount of his life energy. He watched as it made a direct hit against the demon's broad back.

Gasping the creature feel to his knees. His violet eyes rolled back as he fell to his side. Kuwabara and Yusuke ran over to their two fallen comrades. Kurama still had not opened his eyes since closing them. Bright red liquid flowed freely from the young boy and sickenly mingled with Hiei's black hair.

The demon slowly opened his eyes and muttered "Kysy Euhu Ikoi Kiri Onin Aa."

Hearing the words repeated over again started to anger Kuwabara. It was bad enough that his two friends were badly hurt but now he had to listen to some monster say nonsense.

As the blue demon repeated the words once again Kuwabara yelled, "Shut your mouth or else." He stood unsteadily and summoned a miniature spirit sword.

An evil laughter erupted from the blue mouth. Evil eyes glared at the two teens as he whispered, "As I die I laugh because I have placed a curse upon you. In seven days you will be no more unless the unbelieving believe." With that the blue giant breathed his last breath.

Kuwabara's eyes glowed fiercely as he crawled over to the beast. His life was hell enough right now, the last thing that he needed was a stupid curse. "What do you mean?" he demanded.

The only response was an evil smirk that never left the beasts face.

Sitting there holding a red head in his lap Yusuke stared at the blue creature. Horror registered in his eyes as he understood their fate. With this curse they would all die in a week. Somehow they had to break the curse. Somehow.
