Read Warning!
I can't believe I wrote this but, it is slight non-con and Hiei torture. Not gory or anything as bad just slightly depressing. The next chapter will be much better! Promise.
"Damn it Kurama! What is wrong with you?" cried out Hiei as he tackled him away from possible death for the fifth time since they had begun fighting. They had been enjoying a dinner party at Genkais temple when they felt a powerful demonic aura cross the net. They had set out to investigate and, surprise, they had ended up resorting to violence.
The red head simply shook his head and gained his feet in time to dodge another attack. They had been fighting for about thirty minutes, or at least it had felt that way and so far no one had been able to land a blow on the enemy. The demon had turned up to be a plant wielder. What species was still unknown.
The real problem how ever lied with Kurama. He had been acting jerky and seemed to have trouble concentrating. He had been pushed out of danger by his team members more than once and he knew he wouldn't be able to last much longer. "What the hell is up with this guy?!" cried Yusuke
He had tried to break trough the impenetrable shield of roots the demon had raised around himself only to be pushed back by more plants. The carrot top wasn't doing any better; he was currently being cut down by the half koorine from where a plant had him hanging upside down by the foot.
If Hiei had not been so aggravated at that time he would have made sure to laugh and mock Kuwabara. He heard Kurama cry out and spun around in time to see the red head jump to the side but not before a plant ripped into his side. Cursing he sprinted towards his partner and shot a ball of flame at the attacking plant.
He was more than a little shocked when Kurama blanched and cried out stumbling into Hieis chest. Seeing no alternative the little demon hefted his injured friend up and spirited from one spot to another avoiding any deadly attack coming their way. Calling out to Yusuke and Kuwabara he waited until they could protect Kurama from all sides before lowering him down.
He was about to roast a plant when he heard Kuramas pain whimper "Please Hiei don't burn them! Stop incinerating them Yusuke!" Letting out and aggravated growl Hiei deflected the plant with his sword. "What the hell is your problem fox?" Kurama slowly raised himself to his feet and took his position next to Hiei
"I can feel them. The plants they are screaming in agony and I feel their pain as mine." No one had been expecting that. Kuwabara being the loudest of them all, well it was a toss up between him and Yusuke, screamed "What the hell does that mean?"
"Just as he said, you stupid human. But then again it might be too much for you tiny brain." mocked the demon. Yusuke had to restrain Kuwabara who had wanted to storm off and "kick his ass so bad not eve his mother would recognize him." Hiei silently offered his shoulder to Kurama who thankfully accepted. "You see this area is under my control and I can't say it likes me very much, but that's ok I won't let it hurt my feelings."
Hiei heard Yusuke mutter something about enemies always talking stupid and quickly dismissed him. So only a part of the forest was like this, then all he had to do was get Kurama out of it. Lifting Kurama up he sprinted towards the edge of the forest and cursed when deadly roots emerged from the earth spearing straight for them. He couldn't burn them so he was forced to dodge, not an easy feat while carrying around someone bigger than him, but he did it.
The demon laughed mockingly "You think you can escape that easily?" Yusuke gave an exasperated cry "Who the fuck are you?" The demon bowed in mock courtesy "A yes, I have forgotten to introduce myself, what with all the excitement. I am Daimon" Hiei snorted 'Well at least his name fit him' Hiei looked at the quivering bundle in his arms. He needed to get him out of here. "Kurama, can you control any of these plants around you? He whispered.
Kurama stirred and in equally soft voice answered "A few, but not enough to gain an advantage or a way out." Hieis mind worked frantically. He hated to see his fox in pain. "Can you make a shield around yourself?" he asked. Startled green eyes looked up at him "Well yes, but what good will that do?" he asked trough gritted teeth. Yusuke and Kuwabara where trying to get to the tall demon that eerily resembled Kasaru making things nearly impossible for Kurama. "Do it." Hiei told Kurama while gently placing him on his feet. Kurama wobbled a bit but managed to stay up "What good will I do behind a shield?" He hissed.
"Listen to me fox, our priority is to stop that demon. You can attempt to take control from him from a safe place. We can not let them get past us." Kurama lowered his head as he sank to the ground calling on a few plants to help protect him. He knew he was just holding them back, but he had never been completely useless before. It was not an easy pill to swallow. As if sensing his thoughts, Hiei crouched down "It will be fine Fox." Reaching a hand inside Kuramas barricade he gave his hand a quick squeeze before fleeting away. That small gesture of reassurance caused him his shirt and a bit of skin off his back as he just barely managed to dodge a vine aimed at him.
"Damn it! How are we supposed to fight now?" cried Yusuke. He was tired of being on the offense but he did not want to hurt Kurama. He had looked pale and his face mirrored his pain despite his best attempt at hiding it. "Easy. We nip it at the bud" muttered Hiei before running and doing some impressive acrobats dodging the plants and zeroing in on Daimon. No one knew who was more shocked the Reikei Tentei or the demon when Hiei brandished his sword and Daimon was forced to call forth a hand weapon to defend himself.
"That's it Hiei! Kick his ass!" whooped Kuwabara. It was quite clear the demon was in over his head when he had challenged Hiei. He was bleeding from numerous wounds unfortunately none fatal. Damn bastard kept trying to put plants between himself and Hiei knowing he would not harm them as they would only cause Kurama pain. Finally Hiei saw an opening when the demon stumbled after Hiei had caused a small explosion causing both to retreat a few feet. Before he could launch his final attack a pained scream rent the air.
Spinning around he saw something that made his blood run cold. Kurama was being suspended in the air by vines that threatened to crush every bone in his body. "Damn it Kurama" he cried out "turn Youko!" Hiei only got a pained whimper, cursing he took a step forward preparing to cut him down when jagged roots erupted around Kurama stopping an inch away from the pained fox. Hiei spun around again to face the one causing all the pain.
He was grinning and leaning casually against the tree he was previously going to be pinned against. "It seems I've caught myself a fox" he taunted "Now I suggest if you wish no more harm to come to him, you don't struggle." Hiei looked at his companions seeing the frustration that mirrored his own. He felt something tugging at his katana and reflex made him cut thru it. He inwardly winced when he heard Kurama moan in pain.
Reluctantly he unclenched his fist from the hilt. He watched helplessly as it was strewn across the clearing to land near Kuramas suspended form. He stood stonily as two vines wrapped themselves around his feet and a third around his hands. He bit down his surprised yelp as he was strung up like a fresh kill and glared at his captor. " Now now Hiei I suggest you play nice with me or else." Before Hiei could give a caustic remark Daimon continued "Look closely at the vines that hold your lover. See anything unusual?"
Hiei ignored the lover comment and concentrated on Kurama. He inwardly winced when he saw the vine had actually penetrated the foxes back. From years of fighting, pain and some healing knowledge he knew it was probably lodged somewhere near his spinal cord. As if he could read Hieis thought Daimon began talking again.
"You see that lovely little vine is a pet of mine. It made his new home near his spleen causing almost unbearable pain. Any harm to the plants will cause him double the amount of pain he already feels. Lovely isn't it?" he asked with a sadistic smirk. "You bastard!" cried Yusuke followed closely by Kuramas scream "Fight like a man you coward!" Hiei looked over to see both boys forced to their knees vines wrapped tightly around their upper torso.
"What the hell do you want, bastard?" Hiei snarled. He suppressed a shudder but just barely as the demon stepped close to him with a lecherous smirk and ran a clawed hand slowly down his cheek "You" At first Hieis mind refused to process the information and he prayed it was not what he thought it was, he had left the past a long time ago. "Well if your going to torture me before you kill me you might as well skip the torture, it doesn't work with me."
Daimon laughed "Poor innocent Hiei. You really think I went through all this pain to kill you?" he chuckled and shook his head as if Hiei had just told him a joke. "Although I must admit at first I had planned on taking Kurama but then I saw you." He bit his lip and raked Hiei up and down like a morsel. Hieis lunch threatened to make a second appearance and he briefly considered allowing it but shot it down, he would not be responsible for Kuramas death.
"I knew I had to take you." This time Hiei couldn't restrain the shudder as he felt cold hands run across his naked chest. Through clenched teeth he vowed "I will take great pleasure in handing you a painful death." If anything Daimons eyes lighted more "I'm looking forward to it" he said as he leaned in to kiss him. Hieis eyes widened and he turned his head and grit his teeth when he felt disgusting lips make their way to his ear where he bit hard enough to break the skin.
Hiei bucked and twisted trying to get away from the sick pervert. Years of survival kicked in and he began forming a fireball ready to burn everything to ashes when a light nearly nonexistent groan came from the redhead. Hiei fought his instincts to survive and extinguished the flames his body aching from the effort it took. Daimon had stepped back to see how the little demon would react and was pleased with the result.
Stepping behind Hiei, Daimon looked at Kurama "I hear fire demons are extraordinary lovers. Tell me Kurama have you begged him to fuck you? Or is Hiei your bitch?" he asked tauntingly enjoying the helpless rage he could see gathering in the beautiful green eyes and the clenching and unclenching of muscles pressing against him as he licked up Hieis firm neck. He looked to his left when he heard the obnoxious human yelling at him "Get your dirty hands off Hiei you sick pervert!" Waving his hand at the nuisance the plants effectively cut any noise coming form the trash. If he hadn't been having so much fun with his newly acquired toys he would have had great pleasure in finding out just how much a human body could withstand pain.
Wanting to hear his captives deep voice again he dragged his claws down the front of the muscular front leaving rivulets of blood to flow freely down. He was both disappointed and elated when there was no outward sign of feeling the pain. Moving to face the exotic apparition he ran a finger up the blood soaked chest and licked his finger obscenely watching for any reaction.
When none came a strong pull of lust overcame him. His blood was so fucking good but he really wanted a reaction out of his prey. He again tried to kiss him and this time when Hiei turned his head he grasped the slightly pointed chin and forcefully and painfully snapped his head back pressing his lips cruelly to the surprisingly soft lips. Faintly he heard something, something that seemed to be gaining volume. Annoyed he looked back before smiling in sick amusement.
Kurama was bleeding profusely from his efforts to dislodge the plant within his body. He couldn't stand it, his partner, his love was being abused before his eyes and all because of him. "Please just leave him alone! Kill me if you like or take me just leave him alone!" he pleaded. Hieis eyes snapped open he looked at Kurama and he could see the desperation in his eyes. He tried to reassure his fox despite the cold seeping into his body.
'Enough Fox. I can endure this, there is no need for you to suffer further.' Kurama wanted to cry 'NO! I'm not worth this Hiei! Kill him! It does not matter if it causes me momentary pain, it is something I can handle. Please!' he begged.
Kurama screamed from the unexpected pain that flashed through his whole body. A trail of red ran down the vines around him as blood seeped trough the punctures on his back. "Ah ah ah! None of that" Daimon scolded and released the branch he had snapped off. Hiei was terrified, if only snapping a twig caused that much pain how much more would burning three separate vines cause. Possible death was the answer. 'I'm sorry, my Fox. Stay strong' was the last thing Kurama heard before Hiei closed the link between them.
Seeing the desperation increase in the red-heads eyes he smirked sadistically "Now where were we? Ah yes." Grinning he forced his mouth against the soft bruised lips of the fiery demon. He was getting frustrated; he wanted a taste of this burning fire in his arms. Gripping the small jaw he put painful pressure on it until it was pried open enough for him to slip his tongue in. Before getting a true taste he felt sharp canines bearing down and withdrew but not fast enough to prevent them from gauging the tip of his tongue.
This was the fire he was craving for. He dragged his bloodied tongue across Hieis cheek leaving a red trail that was quite becoming. Hiei could feel revulsion and hatred building strongly within him. It helped to overshadow the fear that kept gripping his throat and squeezing tightly. His insides where becoming cold, almost as unbearable as the acts of rape against him. He didn't know how much more of this torture he could handle.
"I like fire in my partners but too much of it may cause unwanted consequences" he warned as his eyes drifted to the silently crying kitsune. Hiei kept his stony silence and hopefully as unresponsive face. "This time no biting and why don't you groan for me?" he said before he pried his lips open again he came across clenched teeth and pulled away. "Fine so be it" he said coldly. Walking behind him he pulled back a fist and punched a hole into the tree.
Kuramas agonized scream rent the air cut off by wet coughing. Hiei could only stare as the red liquid flew out of his fox mouth until he managed to take deep breath a red river making its way down his chin to drip steadily onto the green long sleeve he wore. Hiei whispered "Stop it!"
Daimon came back to face him. "What was that love?" he mocked. Hiei forced the words out "I said stop it" Daimon swirled a finger over the red blanket of blood on Hieis chest making the fire apparition wince. "Oh does that mean you are finally going to play nice with me?" Hiei forced himself to nod, if it was rather curtly. "Good" Daimon slid his arms to grasp a surprisingly full and firm ass that he delighted in squeezing while he forced his tongue into the fiery recess of the little demons mouth.
Hiei forced a small groan from his dry throat. "Louder" he demanded. Hiei took a shuddering breath and groaned louder fighting the urge to be sick desperately. "That is better. Oh what is this? Tears from the great fire demon?" He laughed delightedly and licked at the salty liquid that had accumulated at the corner of Hieis tightly squeezed eyes. Gods it hurt, he wanted it to stop!
Kurama screamed again his throat aching and most likely torn "Stop it! Please! Leave him alone!" Hiei shuddered with every word his fox shouted. He couldn't open his eyes it was too painful. "Oh I don't think so. But don't worry Kurama after I'm done with him I'll make sure to enjoy you as well." At that Hieis eyes snapped open
'The hell he was!' Hiei had to find the perfect shot. He had formulated a plan as the sick fucker had free reign over his body but now he needed him to get close enough to give Hiei the only chance he needed. Daimon could see the fire that had become mere embers in Hieis eyes rekindle. 'Interesting' He felt Daimon go behind him again and tensed visibly. "Now Hiei I want you to moan real loud for me. "The fuck I will' he thought murderously.
He nearly chocked from swallowing the insults that threatened to spill from his throat when the sick fucker grabbed his crotch. "No Hiei? Well maybe I can persuade you again." He snapped his fingers and the vines that had been gagging Yusuke and Kuwabara retreated. Before they could gather a breath deep enough to flay Daimon alive he snapped his fingers again and the vines contracted. The vines began to grind their bones together cutting off their air supply at the first tortured scream. Hiei stared wide eyed as the humans began to turn a sickish blue from lack of oxygen. It wasn't until he hear several unmistakable snapping of bones did he react.
"Alright Alright!" he cried. Instantly the vines loosened and the young men tried to take deep breaths supplying their deprived lungs of the much needed oxygen. "Since you have been a bad boy I think you deserve a punishment, Hiei. I want you to look at your lover in the eye while you moan for me. Understood?" Hiei craned his neck back hoping only the glare showed and non of the horror or revulsion. They must have escaped because he could see the triumphant smile graze the sickening face.
Hiei could see Kurama was half unconscious and probably delirious from the excruciating pain. He was surprised he was even conscious. When he felt the revolting hand grope him again he forced himself to look towards Kurama and moan. He could see the utter horror in his fox eyes and felt what little of his heart had revived wither and crumble. Kurama must have seen it because he began to struggle weakly calling out his name in an even weaker voice.
Daimon was in nirvana. He jerked Hieis head to the side by his hair forcing him to look at his friends. "Look at their expressions Hiei. Tell me do you think they will still proudly call you their friends? Or even a passing acquaintance? Do you see their disgust and horror?" the most hurtful part was how true Daimon words where. "You will be alone in this world Hiei, spurned for the rest of your life."
Hiei turned dull eyes in his directions "Loneliness and pain have always come hand in hand Daimon and they and I are no strangers. I lived my life that way and I see no reason why that will ever change." 'So it was done' Daimon thought Hiei is finally broken.
'Hmmm pity. I would have liked to play with him for a bit longer.' Moving forward he planned to give him a last kiss before he disposed of him when he heard intangible garble. He leaned close "What was that my broken precious?" Hiei lifted his eyes and he saw the fires of hell in those eyes "I said its time for you to die Mother Fucker." Hiei lunged forward and sank his teeth into the demons vulnerable jugular.
He felt an animalistic pleasure when he felt bones snap and tortured scream turn to gurgles. As soon as the vines released him he created a sword from the fires of hell and ran him thru the abdomen knowing it was far more painful and a slower death. He watched as the flames slowly began to lick their way over his writhing body. Gurgled screams and pained filled eyes where all Hiei could see.
He was snapped back when he heard hoarse cries calling Kuramas name. Spinning around he tried to run to Kurama but his legs where not steady and it hurt like hell to move. Still he walked as fast as he could force his pained body to move. Yusuke and Kuwabar where besides Kuramas prone body. Slowly the turned him over and Kuramam blinked. Looking up he saw Hiei standing a few feet away uncertain eyes darting from him to Yusuke to Kuwabara.
For once Hieis shields where gone and they caught a glimpse of the frightened child that lived inside. The one who feared pain, rejection and loneliness. But they could not be sure for the years of hardship and practice where put into place and they could see no more just a cold face of acceptance.
Kurama reached a trembling hand to Hieis calling out his name shakily. Hiei stared at him forlornly before hesitantly reaching out, half way there his hand froze and he stared at his bloodied hand. Acute pain flashed across his eyes before he could hide it. He dropped his hand to his side and Kurama gave a cry of denial. Hieis name came unanimous from the three at his feet.
"You need to rest your strength. I will get you to safety, at least that you can count on." Hieis jagan began to glow and the wrappings began to disintegrate. "So long" were the last sorrowful words they heard before they where sent into a dreamless sleep.
Happy Chapters ahead! I can't believe I wrote that! I didn't know I had it in me. Please leave a review! Much appreciated.
