An Extra Nail For Your Coffin

Hiei's body lay limp on the ground in a pile of blood as it continued to flow out of his body. Many deep wounds inflicted on his body, his clothes torn and ragged, his limbs twisted in sickly ways. His Garnet eyes that once held an icy glare now gone and were now lifeless and distant. Hiei…was dead.

Botan awoke with a start as Kurama shook her. She inhaled deeply "It seemed so real…"

"Are you alright?" Kurama asked.

"Yes… I'm fine." She said as she gave him a meek smile.

"We must get going, or I fear we will not make it in time." Botan nodded. Kurama walked to Yusuke and shook him.

"Yusuke, Yusuke you have to get up."

Yusuke swatted his hand away lazily. "Just five more minutes mom I swear…"

"Yusuke, Hiei's life is in danger we must leave!"

Yusuke's eyes shot open as he bolted up. "Well what are you waiting for? Lets go!" He shouted as he ran out of the cave. While Botan and Kurama followed.

"Where's Kuwabara?" Botan asked.

Yusuke thought for a bit. "Damn it!" He turned around and ran back ten seconds later he rocketed past them dragging a screaming Kuwabara behind him.

"Urameshi! What's going on? Urameshi!"

"Hiei!"

Hiei's eyes cracked open, Botan's face in his mind. Her powder blue hair swaying in the breeze as her amethyst eyes filled with worry and concern. Her face stuck in his mind the exact one she made before she flew away.

"Does she hate me too?" He thought. "She should…I threatened her life but, I never would harm her…it was just a bluff so she wouldn't tell Yukina. And the others do they hate me too?" He growled. "I've been hanging around these humans for to long I'm starting to inherit their useless feelings this would have never happened if I wouldn't have met them. But none of that will matter soon…"

Orion overlooked the demon as he stood a couple yards away. His arms crossed. Gram walked up next to him adjusting his belt, which held his scythe.

He stared at Orion. "Tch, don't tell me your feeling sympathy for the little shit."

"Never." Orion said as he uncrossed his arms and walked towards Hiei.

Hiei watched him walk over from the corner of his eye, glaring at him. Orion cut him down as he fell to the cold ground Gram then hoisted him up by his shoulders.

"Today's the day my friend! This is it! You know I've been waiting for this. Looking forward to make you pay for what you did to my wing." Gram bared his fangs as he threw Hiei to the ground. "Now get up!"

Hiei growled as he picked himself up off the ground. Orion and Gram then grabbed his arms and began walking.

They walked through the torture as Hiei looked around him. Many demons were crying and screaming, begging for their lives to be spared. A woman was crying over the death of her lover hugging his corpse when she refused to leave him she was killed. The monsters then threw them into a pit, which was filled with rotting corpses, some not quit dead. Torches were then thrown into the pit the flames crackled as screams from the not yet deceased echoed in the air, but soon all was quiet. Demons feasted on their own trying to survive. Two monsters dragged a woman into one of their bunks while she screamed. "Please no! Don't please don't." They shut the door and began to rape her. Demons were running into the electrical fences committing suicide not able to take the horrors anymore.

Hiei turned his head from the horrible images up ahead was Wraith standing on what appears to be a stage. Gram and Orion halted towards the steps of the stage, as Wraith began to speak.

"My friends today you are all in for a real treat. I have a special guest for you, he is a strong demon, one of the winners from the Dark Tournament, he is one of Spirit World's lackeys, I give you Hiei!" He announced as Orion and Gram brought Hiei up to him. Screams emitted from the crowd of monsters.

"I want to keep his head!"

"I get to eat his heart!"

"Only if you get there first!"

Yusuke looked at what laid ahead of them. "Kurama, is that it?"

"Yes Yusuke that is the Forsaken Forest."

"I hope were not to late you guys." Kuwabara spoke.

"I hope so too." Botan said.

"Gr, come on!" Yusuke shouted as he ran as fast as he could.

A noose was placed around Hiei's neck as he stood on a stool. Monsters continued to shout as they threw beer bottles up at Hiei glass shattering in front of him some shards flying up at him and cutting his skin. Oh how badly he wished he were free from the Spirit Cuffs so he could murder them all.

He growled. "Damn it!" Wraith took out a revolver, Hiei looked at him glaring at him with fire in his eyes.
