Chapter 11

A twitch across the cheek and Kuwabara suddenly awoke. He grunted and was surprised to be alive actually. He thought he was dead. He then remembers that battle he just went through; all the bloodshed and the power crashing spirit energy. He felt disappointed that he just lost another battle for his teammates. He sighed, but tried to stay positive about his actions. His thoughts carried over to Yusuke and Hiei. He wondered where they were.

Kuwabara gradually got himself up and just realized how much pain his body was in. Shit this is not good. How the fuck am I going to defend myself? He leaned his head toward his knee with his hand supporting his head. He thought about how he was going to get out of this pathetic situation he was in. He hated being the weakest out of the group. It gets him so irritated and annoyed. He was no help as always.

Kuwabara suddenly then noticed the hard stoned surface he was laying on. Stones, he thought to himself. Where I thought I died, there were no stones. He opened his eyes even more to notice that he wasn't in the forest clearing anymore. Somebody must have moved him into this room. Once again the scenery reminded him of a past mission. Yusuke and himself went into demon world to go and defeat the four saint beasts. The walls were stone and bare with a couple barred up windows far above him. They were just big enough that a person could stick their head in between them.

He finally decided to get himself up to see if he could get himself out of this hell hole without the help of his friends. He didn't need them. Heh he was starting to sound like the shrimp. He didn't care.

Kuwabara concentrated on his spirit energy and tried to feel it form into a sword. A shining bright yellow spirit filled the room. He could feel his energy following from his body, but it wouldn't take the effect he wanted. With the light showing brightly, it showed a glimmering shadowed within the far distance. Kuwabara was shocked to find that there was something else in here besides him. He held the light from his hand towards the figure in the distance. A shimmer of red hair showed in the light.

Kuwabara gasped and ran over. He knelt down and placed his hand onto the figure and gently shook the person. "Kurama," he shouted. "Kurama! Kurama! Kurama, I know you are still with us. Stop joking around like Yusuke does. Hiei will seriously be pissed, if you don't survive. Don't let him destroy the world."

He lifted his hand away from Kurama, and looked at it. Blood! Where was it coming from? He then looked at Kurama and the floor. Blood was everywhere. Shit, what did they do to you, Kurama? Kuwabara scanned Kurama from head to foot. Cuts, dried blood, and dirt lay upon his face. Kurama's clothes were all torn up, but still somehow manage to cover up his body. Kuwabara sighed and breathed easier because if he saw Kurama naked, he might never hear the end of it from Hiei.

"Kurama. Kurama, please get up we need to get out of here. Just give us some mere hope that you might be still alive for us." Kuwabara silently waited a response from him. The little glimmer of hope he had was gone, but he wasn't about to give up. Kuwabara gathered most of his strength and lifted Kurama from the pool of blood that he was laying in. Kuwabara couldn't stand seeing Kurama so helpless. The only one other time he was helpless was in the Dark Tournament. He slipped into unconsciousness between the two battles and one guy got excited and started kicking the shit out of him. That was the only battle Kuwabara ever saw Kurama lose.

Kurama was surprisingly light to pick up as Kuwabara began to realize, even with the little energy he had left. "Come on, Kurama. We are going to get you out of here." He started heading towards the door in the far off distance. Hopefully they would run into Yusuke and Hiei half way down the castle.

Kuwabara yelled "Damn it," as the door was actually locked. He jammed his body up against the door and slid down with Kurama. Hmmm, how am I gonna get out with you, thought Kuwabara. He suddenly let a little of his energy into a sword and sliced down the door. He picked up Kurama and dashed out of the dungeon. This is surprisingly easy. Kuwabara looked back and realized that no one was guarding them. How thick could these demons be? Are they dumb enough to forget that they had prisoners to protect or they could all just be dead? Or did they just think they had two actual dying prisoners in their mists. Kuwabara refused to think he was dying and the same with Kurama.

As Kuwabara dashed around the castle, in the dead center, the fight with Masao continued. Yusuke and Hiei scattered and charged at Masao from either end. Hiei quickly jumped and resorted to his usual tactics of his sword slashing. He swung and Masao missed his opportunity of dodging and got his by both boys. Hiei's attack did leave as much damage as Yusuke's spirit punch and kick did. Though, they did send him flying into the ground once more. Masao quickly recuperated and jumped up for his next attack at the other demons.

Masao floated in mid air while, Yusuke and Hiei prepared for their next attacks. Yusuke on one hand was preparing a reigun shot from behind the bastard. Meanwhile, Hiei was thinking of finishing with his dragon. He couldn't let Yusuke take all of the credit for killing the demon who took the fox away from him.

Masao finally looked down and realized that he was in some deep shit. Both demon boys were getting ready to use their own attacks. If they used both he knew he would be screwed. Suddenly Masao felt two spiritual pressures heading towards them. The spirits were still pretty deep still in the castle, and one of them was fainting away slowly. So very slowly that it got Masao very angry. He clenched his fists in rage why won't these fricken demons die already.

Yusuke looked up and suddenly noticed that Masao disappeared. Shit, he got away. I was going to finish him. Where the fuck did he go? Damn it. Yusuke looked over to Hiei who got so mad and crushed one of the walls. The stones came stumbling down as Hiei watched. Yusuke wasn't surprised by his reaction. He wanted to do the same thing, but kept his cool.

"Better," Yusuke asked Hiei eventually. Hiei just glared at him.

"Not quite, but I got a lockdown on that bastard Masao."

"All right. Lead the way, three eyes."

While Hiei and Yusuke were tracking down Masao, Masao blocked off Kurama and Kuwabara. Kurama was still unfortunately unconscious. Kuwabara was holding him tightly as he was running. Kuwabara was trying to keep them both alive with his own ki. If he dies, then it is a good possible chance they both will.

Masao swiftly and quietly landed in front of another entrance hall. He blocked the way, so the boys couldn't be reunited with each other. Moments later, Kuwabara showed up frightened as he saw the enemy. If they battled, he didn't know the outcome, but he knew for sure that one of them would be dead.

Kuwabara shouted, "Get outta the way, punk."

Masao just grinned, but his stare was lurking elsewhere. He spoke, "What makes you think that, I'm just gonna let you walk away. Time is running out for you, Kazuma Kuwabara. You won't be able to save Kurama either."

Kuwabara stood there shocked at the demon. He watched as Masao stroked his long golden and black hair. He flipped it back out of his way and suddenly a burst of energy came out of his hand and crushed Kuwabara into the wall. Just in time, Kuwabara blocked most of the blast from hurting Kurama. Kurama didn't need any more damage.

"Damn you!"

"Damn me, ha. You all need to just die."

Another blast fired into Kuwabara. Kuwabara fired up his ki and his spirit sword suddenly appeared. His sword protected himself and Kurama. He was excited that his energy was coming back to him even though, it has been draining severely.

"You're so gonna pay with your life," replied Kuwabara as he stood up from the debris. He suddenly charged at Masao with his spirit sword gleaming in the darken fire burning light room.

Hiei finally stopped at another entrance clearing. He listened and heard the familiar battle cry of the buffoon. Though, there was something strange about what was up ahead. There were three spiritual pressures clouding his senses. Hiei scolded himself. By reminding himself that he has to be nice to the idiot later. This gave him a very unpleasant feeling. He was suddenly brought back to reality when Yusuke stood next to him. They finally entered the room.

Hiei's ki suddenly arose as he saw Kurama lying on the floor still unconscious. Kuwabara swung Masao into the ground with one of his punches rather than his usual tactics. Dust and debris clouded the room, he looked up and barely making out Yusuke's and Hiei's shadows. He jumped up from the dust and landed in front of his friends. Hiei then suddenly disappeared and reappeared next to Kurama. The other two boys followed suit. Yusuke and Kuwabara guarded Kurama's body, while Hiei looked the fox over.

"You alright, Kuwabara," Yusuke asked his friend.

"Yeah, nothing too bad. I'm gaining back my strength."

"Awesome," replied Yusuke. He then turned to Hiei. He was about to tell him something when Kuwabara shouted "Yusuke watch your back."

"Huh?"

All of them watched as Masao soared into the air, flipped and dropped kicked Kuwabara square into the ground. He quickly got up and punched Yusuke in the stomach. Yusuke smashed into the ground by the punch. Masao wheeled around for another kick, but when he looked for the three eyed demon, he was no longer in the spot. Hiei suddenly reappeared behind Masao with Kurama in his arms. He swung his sword at him, but at the same time Masao pulled out his own attack. Both attacks hit the demons. Masao struck his hand into the ground and pulled himself into a stop. Hiei's sword cut across Masao's chest and a large slash formed. Blood gushed out and poured onto the floor. He coughed up blood and stared Hiei down with an evil death glare. Hiei landed and smiled.

Kurama was still magically uninjured from the last attack, but still out cold. Hiei turned to Yusuke and Kuwabara, who were watching the fight from a distance. He gave Kurama to Yusuke. He looked at him, and kind of knew what was going on.

"Yusuke, I'm entrusting you and the fool to get Kurama into safety. Idiot-" Hiei trailed off not wanting to finish what he began. Kuwabara politely nodded his head yes and knew what Hiei was going to say.

Yusuke retaliated to Hiei. "Hiei, I want to kick his ass, too. The bastard deserves it."

Hiei sighed and understood Yusuke's frustration. "This is my fight. Save Kurama, that is the more important." Yusuke wanted to say something. Kuwabara added "Don't start let the shrimp have his fight. He's doing it for Kurama. It's the same situation like you would be with Keiko."

Masao shouted, "NO!!!" He got up from his crouching position and stood up. Yusuke, Hiei, and Kuwabara all looked around to notice the move he was just about to perform. "I won't let you leave. Every one of you is going to die here and now. There will be no escape."

An insane laughter could be heard throughout the room. Hiei yelled "Go, now." The boys listened and Kuwabara picked up Kurama. Though, it was too late, Masao made his last move and it struck all of them. Kurama opened his eyes and his screams could be heard. Hiei whipped around and took the shock away from them. He fell to the ground. He grinded his teeth as he took all of their pain. Kuwabara said, "Yusuke let move."

Yusuke moved in front of Kuwabara and they made the split from the castle. Kurama had slipped back into his dying form, but Yusuke and Kuwabara were keeping him just barely alive with their own ki.

Hiei was just released from Masao's last attack on them. His ki flared into the room and Masao created a spiritual shield to protect himself. Hiei grinned and released the piece of cloth that hid his Jagan. Masao smiled. He would now finally be getting Hiei's full potential power. He was ready.

"The fight has only just begun. Your death has now finally arrived; you'll get what you deserve."

"Am I now? What about you? Don't you deserve your own death?"

"It's possible. But for now, it's my revenge. Go to hell."

"Aren't we already in hell, Hiei?"
