Kuwabara's POV

The mountain temple, a place I had spent so much time in...I missed this place and being able to come back. That was a blessing. I was back where I belonged...Sort of. I could never go home, I could never stay in the human world because there was nowhere that would accept me. Humans would no doubt try to capture me and dissect me to see how I ticked.

I made my way inside and frowned, Who smelled like sweat and blood? I knew that slightly spicy, green scent belonged to. Kurama, it was nice to know he was here, Yusuke was here too by the scent of his favorite cigarettes.

"Hiei, it's not your fault." Hiei sighed it had been so long since I had heard any of their voices; "It is, even he thinks it was." I did, still did and it was about time I proved to him for once and all that I wasn't useless anymore. I rushed into the room and slammed into Hiei, both of us going out the window, Hiei shouted and I threw him into the tree's following him before he could get his bearings I was on him punching him, he slid out of my grasp and ran, I followed after him forcing him towards the cliff near the ocean.

He seemed to realize this eventually and attempted to get away but I simply hounded him back onto the path I wanted him on. He stopped at the edge of the cliff, I was going to kill him and that would be that. Hiei looked so frightened as he turned and spotted me. "Kuwabara." I dove at him and we both fell off the cliff into the water, I pushed away from him and swam up, of course, that didn't kill us. My head broke through the water and I gasped for air.

I noticed movement and spotted Kurama looking panicked and rushing into the water, he shouted; "Hiei isn't a good swimmer!" Shit, I looked around for the little bastard and he hadn't come up yet. He wasn't going to, was he... That was what he'd been afraid of, not me. I dove back under and swam hard back down, Hiei was floating downwards His eyes closed. Shit, if he died Kurama was going to murder me.

We got to shore and I dropped Hiei onto the sand. "Oh god, he's not breathing!" Someone shouted and I placed my hand on Hiei's chest, yeah because his lungs were full of water, I gently pried Hiei's mouth open and used my powers to draw the water out and away. Hiei coughed and spluttered turning onto his side. "Hiei!" Kurama placed a hand on Hiei who shuttered. "We need to get him inside." Yusuke picked Hiei up and rushed towards the temple.

Kurama turned on me, flicking his wrist the rose whip appeared. "Who are you!" I sighed; "I thought you knew when you shouted at me that Hiei was a terrible swimmer." Kurama frowned; "I was telling Yusuke that...Why the hell would I tell you that?" I blinked, he seriously didn't realize it was me did he? "Well, considering you know. Knew. Me, yeah I thought you were talking to me." Kurama froze, his eyes going wide. "Kuwabara?" I nodded, "I go by Raiden these days."

Kurama shook his head; "Why didn't you come back! It's been nearly a year since you escaped!" I sighed; "Because I was out of control, I needed to learn to harness my new powers and the only way that was happening was if I was in the Mankai."
