Cry For Me Sky
Lightning slashed through the sky as rain continued to fall to the muddy ground. Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama and Botan sat in a cave. They had seeked shelter once it had started to rain. Kurama was leaning against the wall of the cave, Botan sat on a rock and Yusuke and Kuwabara sat on the floor with red handprints on their faces.
Flashback
"Ok…umm…I spy…something big and round." Yusuke said with a smirk on his face.
"Uhh…umm…the earth?" Kuwabara said.
"…No…"
"Oh I know! Kurama's head!" Kuwabara shouted proudly. Kurama gave Kuwabara a silent glare.
"Nope…."
"Is it…umm…Botan's chest?"
"Yup!" Yusuke said.
"You perverts!" Botan shouted. She then smacked the two boys as hard as she could across their faces. "Now…NO MORE I SPY!"
End Flash Back
The two boys rubbed their sore cheeks as they recalled the memory. Botan put her chin in her hands as she leaned forward. Her eyes didn't hold the cheery brightness that people were accustomed to seeing. Instead they held a sad, gloomy, far off look. She was in deep thought.
"Hiei…please be ok…" She thought as she stared at the ground.
Kurama watched her out of the corner of his eye. "She has not been herself since Hiei has been captured…even when Yusuke had been captured she hadn't been this melancholy I wonder if she…"
Crimson eyes shot open, darting around wildly. He sensed something he could feel it, it was very close. Hiei used his sword as a crutch as he tried his best to stand up. He carefully looked around scanning the shadowed woods. Thunder roared as rain continued to fall. Something caught Hiei's eye he thought he had spotted some movement in the shadows. He stood perfectly still not moving for five minutes. Still nothing, he began to turn away when the beast lunged from the shadows at Hiei.
Hiei shot his head back in the beast's direction. He held his sword out ready to attack the beast let out a roar as it ran at him. He swung his sword down, but the beast caught it by its mouth it bit down hard breaking the metal. Hiei's eyes widened as the pieces of the sword fell from the beast's mouth and clanked off the ground. The beast jumped at Hiei sinking his teeth into his arm.
Hiei let out a cry of pain as the beast bit hard into his arm. Blood dripped from its fangs to the ground. The beast shook Hiei around by his arm and dragged him across the ground while leaving a small trail of blood.
Hiei's foot hit something as the beast was dragging him. He saw that it was a piece of his broken sword. He made a grab for it and then whipped his head towards the beast. He let out a growl as he lifted his arm up high into the air and then plunged the piece of the sword into the beast's skull.
The beast howled in pain as it released Hiei's bloody arm. It then fell to the ground, dead. Hiei held his arm he looked down at it. If he had been thrown around by that beast a little longer it would have torn off his arm.
Hiei took what was left of his cloak off revealing a black shirt, which also was torn in numerous places. He used his cloak as a bandage for his arm.
He limped into the shadows of the woods not knowing where he was going and not caring where he led himself to.
Beep, Beep, Beep, click! Orion looked at the tracking device the last beast had been killed."Heh, the little son of a bitch pulled it off after all." He took off into the air in search of Hiei.
Orion looked through the woods for Hiei. He spotted him lying on the ground. He swooped down for a closer look at the demon. Orion landed on the ground next to Hiei. He was not dead, but passed out from blood loss. Orion swung him over his shoulder and took him back to the camp.
Hiei awoke later in his cot he made a move to get up, but immediately decided against it once he found how immense the pain was. He just laid there in silence staring up at the ceiling.
"I never felt pain like this before…its so immense…I need to get out of here before the day of my execution…but what's the use…with my wounds I will get no where…maybe the ferrygirl went to tell the detective…maybe their on their way to help me? Hn, who am I kidding their probably all glad I'm gone what with all the pain and insults I through at them. I don't need their help anyway I can get out of here on my own! If they even were to help me that oaf would gloat about how he saved me! Hn, I would rather die."
He turned his head to the side with a saddened look. "They don't need me and I sure as hell don't need them…"
