More reviews from Lita Kitsune and Kikira-chan. Oh it was awesome when I checked out Lita Kitsune's profile. It had a story that I had read a long time ago, but I didn't save and I lost it. I was really upset cause it was such a great story, but low and behold she was the one who wrote it! You guys should check out her stories.
Orpheus lost his beloved wife. He went down to hell to save her. He made a pact with Hades; he was never to look upon Eurydice while they were on their journey back to earth. Orpheus broke the taboo and looked upon his wife. Eurydice returned to the darkness, which would be her home for the rest of eternity.
Raenel was leading Hiei, Yusuke, and Kuwabara to where he thought Kurama might be. Hiei was hoping he would be able to find Kurama. He blamed himself for Kurama dieing so if he could save him then he wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. Plus he wanted to hold Kurama and stroke his long red hair that matched so perfectly with his emerald green eyes. Hiei realized he was never even able to kiss him before he died. When Hiei finally rescued him, he would do all the things he could never do. He would do anything just to see Kurama smile again.
"We're here." Raenel announcing their arrival jerked Hiei out of his thoughts.
"What is this? It's freakin' me out!" Yusuke said backing away.
They looked at the ground and saw they were standing on a big glass circle. Inside of it they could see the ghosts of people once alive floating around.
Just looking at all these lost souls made shivers run up each of their spines and brought Yusuke closer to just walking away or waiting in the other.
"Is Kurama in there?" Hiei asked not able to keep the anxiousness of seeing the fox even though he had recently just discovered that he loved the kitsune back.
"He should be. If he's not then I can't help you anymore." Raenel told Hiei. Hiei only nodded a moment not even wanting to think about what he would do if Kurama's soul were not there.
"Your really something you know that? You're the Angel of Judgment! How could you not know where a soul was?" Yusuke yelled at him.
"There are a lot of souls to keep up with! I can't watch them all! Some of them get lost in Hades and become monsters that hide in the ground and eat other spirits." Raenel shot back.
"Kurama wouldn't turn into a monster would he?" Kuwabara asked.
"No. I refuse to believe that he is gone. He has to be in here! Raenel said he was alive just before we came. So he has to be in here." Hiei said.
Yusuke could hear the worry in Hiei's voice. He was desperately trying to convince himself that Kurama was ok, and that everything would be ok. But looking at the situation in front of them, Yusuke wondered if they would be able to save their best friend.
But what would they do if they couldn't? How would Hiei take it? As far as he knew Kurama was the only one who really loved him if he rejected him now what kind of effect would it have on their fire demon friend?
Sure he would hide it inside himself that was to be sure of, but how long would that last? He already held so much inside of him. How much more could he bottle up inside him without breaking?
"Magnified pain...Hn. How can you magnify something that already takes up the entire space without breaking...I'm breaking." He had heard Hiei say once to Kurama in secret.
If that was true then this couldn't be helping in any way and if worst come worst there was no way Hiei would open up to them of all people. He just wasn't that type of guy.
"Ok, Hiei. Actually, finding a soul in here is not that hard, especially since you had such a close connection to Kurama. Everyone get off the platform except Hiei. Yes that means you, Yuki." Raenel said.
"That's Yusuke!" Yusuke corrected him twitching a bit at the mistake.
"Whatever. Now Hiei, just think strong thoughts about Kurama and he should come up to the top the platform." Raenel told him.
Hiei started thinking about everything he would do with Kurama when he got him back. He started thinking about stroking his hair again and kissing him. When he got Kurama he would never stop kissing him. He would never even let him go! He would stay with him in his apartment and they would fall asleep together. He would hold him while they slept and bury his face in his hair. They would live in paradise. They would never separate. He was upset for being so blinded to his own feelings before but now…now all he wanted was Kurama to be with him forever and apologize for what he had done to hurt the fox.
"There he is! I see him! Hiei snap out of it! There's Kurama!" Yusuke screamed.
For the second time that day Hiei was woken up from his daydream. But this time Kurama was there looking at him from inside the platform. Hiei opened his mouth in surprise and screamed his name.
"Get out of the way!" Raenel yelled running to the platform. He was carrying his scythe with him. He stood over Kurama and hit the platform with the end of the scythe. Kurama floated through the platform and was hovering in the air. He was transparent, so anyone would think he was a ghost. But even so Hiei was still dazzled by how well his red hair matched with his green eyes.
"Kurama! It's me! Hiei! I'm here to take you home!" Hiei yelled to the apparition form of Kurama.
"That voice. It's so familiar. Who is it?" Kurama's voice was barley above a whisper. He was looking around trying to find the owner of the voice that had spoken to him. He looked down and saw three people. They all looked like people he had once known. Kurama was pained to think of his old friends. He looked away from them and called to them: "Who are you three?"
"What do you mean, Kurama?" Hiei answered. "It's us! Don't you recognize us? It's Yusuke and Kuwabara…and me. Hiei."
"No. You can't be them. Hiei never came back for me. And Yusuke and Kuwabara wouldn't come down here. You can't be my friends." He said pointing to Yusuke and Kuwabara.
"And you can't be the one I fell in love with." Kurama pointed at Hiei when he said that.
The words seemed like poison for the fire demon to hear now. Besides being the one he loved he was his best friend. How could he say these things now?
"NO! Kurama listen to me and listen to me now! It is us! We're your friends! And I'm you lover. Don't you remember?" Hiei said.
"My eyes are playing tricks on me. You can't be them. But, I will return to my body so I can see you more clearly. Just to make sure." Then Kurama disappeared.
"His body? Did he go back to earth?" Kuwabara asked.
"No! He's going back to my mansion. Back to the body that had 'Hiei' carved in blood in it." Raenel told them.
"Then get us back there now!" Hiei yelled at Raenel.
Raenel whistled and suddenly a dragon came out of nowhere. Hiei didn't even care where it came from. All of them jumped on the dragon and flew back to Raenel's mansion. When they got there they ran to the room Kurama was locked in. Kurama had stood up. He looked around and saw Hiei and the others standing in the door.
"Hiei? It is you isn't it?"
"Yes, Kurama. It's me."
"I will never forgive you."
HAHA! Cliffhanger. Deal with it. Read and review!
