Author: Review for the next chapter.
Hiei pov
It's been a week since the incident, there was a funeral dedicated to the lives that were lost. Families came, Kuwabara cried, I stayed away... There was no way I could have faced the fool, not after what had happened to his sister. Sitting in an old tree, I was engaged into my own world. I actually have foreseen an event before it had happened and it yet I still did nothing about it.
"You really should have gone to the funeral." whispered a soft voice from below me.
I didn't respond, I know what he wanted to know, what he wanted to ask, but what was there to explain if not even I knew what had happened.
"Hiei?" he asked seeming a bit lost at words.
"Don't you have someone else to bother, fox?" I ask trying to make him leave.
He doesn't. Instead he quietly sits beneath me. It's quiet. I'm nervous. The fox seems calm, but I know what he's thinking. I close my eyes in attempt to calm myself down.
"It's almost 3 o clock right now, do you mind to accompany me to Yusuke's ramen stand?" he asked.
Stupid fox, despite everything that has happened he wants me to go out with him to visit Yusuke? Opening my eyes, I looked down at him in frustration. My heart stopped, there lying beneath me in a pool of blood was Yusuke's dear soul mate. Bloody clear eyes stared back at me.
"Help me!" she groaned inhuman-like.
She reached out towards me, and I reached for her.
"Hiei!" She called out sounding strangely like Kurama.
My eyes shot open, since when was it closed? My body hit something soft, shocked green eyes stared up at me... Kurama... but, where was Keiko?
"Hiei, are you alright?" he asked me.
Alright! how the hell did he get under me? My body trembled as I got off him... What the hell was that?
"You really should be careful." he advised me as he pointed up.
I looked at him then back up at the tree... did I fall?... did I actually fall out of the tree? The fox chuckled.
"It's almost 3 o clock right now, do you mind to accompany me to Yusuke's ramen stand?" he asked.
My heart sank, didn't he just ask me that? I felt strange, some what worried. I chuckled, how pathetic; there was no reason to be so alarmed. I mean it was only a dream... hopefully...
Keiko Pov
"See you tomorrow!" I said to my coworkers as I left the office.
Things have been really strange without Shizuru, it was as if there was something missing. Tears wielded in my eyes as I remembered all the good times we had together. Now, now I shouldn't be like this not when I'm about to go out with Yusuke. Clicking the button, I waited patiently for the doors to open. People exited and I entered alongside a couple of other people. The elevator was just beautiful with a full view of the outside world.
"Going down?" asked the gentlemen next to me.
"Yes sir." I responded as he clicked the down button.
Strangely we didn't go up, we went down.
"Dude, we need to go down!" said the man from right next to me.
The gentlemen seemed a bit confused as he repentantly pushed the down button. It didn't stop nor go down, we just kept going higher and higher till finally we reached the top floor. The doors didn't open...
"Are we stuck?" I asked while the men tried to open the door.
"No need to worry mam, we will be out in a jiffy!" said the gentleman.
I knew I should have gotten out earlier...
"People please keep calm, a technician is on it's way." said the speaker.
Hiei Pov
"Sorry we're closed-... ah hey guys!" Said Yusuke as he was closing up the place.
"Yusuke." greeting the red head "Your closing early?"
"Oh yeah, Keiko wants me to pick her up at three o clock sharp." he explained a bit annoyed. "She wants to go see a dumb movie."
"Well what are we waiting for?" Kurama said inviting himself and getting me annoyed, I honestly don't want to see a dumb human movie.
"What, you want to come?" he asked sounding quite excited. "Fine with me, maybe we can also get Kuwabara to come with us!"
Kurama smiled kindly as they engaged into a light conversation, Yusuke obviously trying to avoid picking up his girlfriend on time. I felt very uneasy, something wasn't right. Was it because of what happened the last time we went out or was it because I was worried about the detectives girlfriend?
"Shouldn't we be meeting up with your mate, detective." I said immediately cutting the conversation between the two.
Both males look at me confusedly; I knew I sounded nervous, but right now I don't care... my heart is racing, something happening and it is going to happen now.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot." he lied playfully.
Keiko pov
It's been a while since we gotten stuck, there was a technician on the roof of the elevator. Looking at the elevators clock I noticed it was exactly three o four... looks like someones going to complain after he rescues me. I smiled, Yusuke was so not the romantic type, but that didn't mean he was never there for me. All of a sudden the elevator shook.
"What was that?" I asked a bit alarmed.
"Calm down mam we'll be alright!" said the gentlemen from beside me.
"Shut up man!" Yelled the other male.
"Calm down."
"I said shut up!"
I felt very uneasy as the two argued; suddenly the other man threw a punch.
"Stop it!" I screamed.
The man went to throw another punch and I tried to stop him. He turned at me with a dark expression and I felt a huge hand come across my face sending me flying at the glass wall making it crack. Blood dripped down my face as my vision blurred. There were sounds of fighting in the back, but I couldn't make it out... Yusuke... where are you?
I looked back and the other two boys, they were wrestling on the floor. I was scared, I wanted Yusuke, I wanted to get out of here! The elevator doors opened, but instead of being leveled with the other room we were just below it. I don't care, I just want to get out of here! Jumping up I was able to hold on and pull myself up. I was half way through between the floor and the elevator when I herd a scream from behind me.
"Get down!" was all I herd when the elevator began to drop crushing my back in between the floor and the elevator.
I can't move... I can't scream... pain... the elevator kept dropping snapping my back, blood gushed out of my mouth. I can't breathe... red... everything is red. I'm crying now, it is also red. The men behind me, are pushing me forward, the circuits are snapping, voices are screaming. There becoming quieter by the second. Liquid is running down my ears... it's hurting me... Yusuke where are you? Blood is running down my nose I cant breathe, I'm suffocating. Yusuke please, please help me! There was a horrifying snapping sound, soft screams filled the air, my back was free, but so was my body as I fell back into the elevator...
Yusuke pov
Hiei doesn't look too well, me and Kurama keep looking back at him as we wait for Keiko to come out of the building. He's staring at the floor, he seems anxious which is strange since I've never seen him like this before.
"Wow, this is a new record." I said breaking the silence. "normally she's out by two fifty, three o clock. It's three o five." I said looking back at Kurama.
He smiled at me kindly making me bight my bottom lip, he's such a girl. I opened my mouth to continue the conversation when suddenly I caught sight of my snobby Inspector.
"Is that the Inspector that gives you hard time?" Kurama asked me as he eyed the man.
"Yeah he's such a dumb ah-." I was about to curse the guy out till I saw Kurama walking over towards him. "Kurama, don't go over there." I begged, I really didn't want Kurama to get in the middle.
The fox looked back at me as he was half way across the road, his kind soft features quickly became fearful and pale.
"Yusuke!" he screamed out in pure horror.
The next thing I knew, I was on the floor. There was a huge crashing sound, I opened my eyes to see Hiei above me. Scarlet eyes stared blankly beside me; what the hell happened? I turned my head slightly to see what he was staring at, what he had saved me from, and my heart dropped. There was an elevator on the floor where I was standing, there were dead people in it. The fact that an elevator almost crushed me didn't scare me, the dead people's face didn't make my heart drop; it was the fact that my girlfriend was half way out cover in blood from head to toe.
"Keiko?" I whispered, my blood froze as my heart began to race. "Keiko, Keiko!" I screamed. My greatest fear has happened and whats worse... I could have done something about it... here I stand before my dear Keiko, she lays lifeless before me. Bloody tears are placed on her terrified face, she was my world and just like she came crashing down so did my world...
Author: trust me i was stuck for three hours in a freakin elevator, it is not pretty, but it did inspire me to write this up.
