Die and Death
Chapter 2
Hiei was like a huge volcano in second he saw through disappeared cloud and didn't feel any spirit's energy from his fox. His flame was mad as its master's furious and appeared all around his body, forcing the two beybladers and older twin whom had just arrived to stay far away from him.
"How dare you touch my fox!! Leave. Him. Alone. Now."
Pair of calm of the older youkai's eyes just opened to look challenging at the other crimson pair. White fangs let pale neck go, only said mocking the tempered youkai.
"Your fox? Don't mess me with your stupid claim. This kitsune have been mine and even before he met and knew you, hothead. You're just like that mere youkai in Makai. And if you forget to take a look or stupid enough to say that, it's obvious that he's already claimed and bonded, so he's official and legal mind."
"Look like I care?" The short youkai just said smirking back.
The chimera finally laid the dying one on the ground gently and stood up, facing the short youkai. Before the black flame youkai or the others would know what had just happened, right dragon tattooed forearm suddenly was cut and dropped on the ground, blood spraying all over. Red crimson eyes widened with shock and horror, yet none any sound or scream got through his lips. He gritted his teeth and was more furious at the smirking bat youkai. He did know, that chimera did know what he's going to do and stopped him for that.
"Kono Yaro……" The short youkai groaned dangerously and ignored his painful arm.
"You better stay out of this, it's none of you business, Koorime."
"It's sure my business you bastard! Kurama's my mate and mine alone!!"
"You didn't even listen to me, did you?"
"No, it's you that the fool, smartass."
Hiei snapped back with tiny smirk on his lips. He won't and never gave up his fox to anyone, especially that ex-mate. Kurama's already claimed and bonded, so what. He's his and his alone, right now. That's what the matter to him. After all incident they had worked up together till now, why it wouldn't be. His smirk widened when he saw gleam of hurt and puzzle flashed on that bat youkai's face.
Kuronue stared at the Koorime's challenge sight and smirk on his lips. His mind started to felt doubt and uncertain with what he had heard. Was it true that his silver fox betrayed him, again? Twice? But why it's so unexpected when this silver fox had already betrayed him before. And, this time was the most disgust and unforgivable betrayal of youkai's rule and Makai's.
His eyes widened unbelievably with what he saw when he kneeled down to look at pale neck, again. There, another bite mark was near his. Why he had not seen it before. It proved that the short youkai said the truth. Why and how that shorty and proud infamous fox let themselves dropped this low, he didn't understand.
"I can't believe you betray me not only my life and relationship but our bound, too. How could you, Kurama! Where's your compromise that you'll always be mine and live with me forever? Your pathetic life made you drop this low and ever lower than any mere lowest youkai's rank in Makai? Why, Kurama. Just once isn't enough for you? Just killed me and betrayed our relationship weren't enough, right?"
Tear dropped from his narrowed and painful eyes and slid down his cheeks. He couldn't take and bare this hurt and sorrow pain, anymore. It's too much. Twice was just too much.
"You never deserve our bound and my forgiveness anymore, Silver fox. Your life isn't deserve peaceful death and me and never since now and forever. Just take a torture long death and go to hell. At lease, it'll help extending your time to regret your sin and what you have done."
No more kind look and soft understand sound were left on his face and in his voice. Only cool and disgusting in that furious voice for the dying one to heard, yet the defeated one just kept silent. He knew what's going to happen to him for his dying path.
Red crimson eyes widened with pure horror when he flashed knowing what the chimera was going to do and did the only thing he could do, scream.
"No!! Don't do that!!"
But everything was too late for him and the others to help behind unseen kekkai Kuronue spread out, blocking them for getting any nearer. Only on hand left of the Koorime surely couldn't break through it. Barrier was too strong even more than Hiei's, though he never wanted to accept it. The only thing he could do was looked stunning at pale hand raised from his fox's neck, revealing no more the tall chimera's bite mark. His face was red and slammed at the barrier hard with furious.
"You son of a bi---!! Mark him again!! That way, his spirit will be crashed and can't ever reborn, again!!"
Hiei screamed uselessly. He hoped he could do more than this. He really hoped. If only he had not lost his arm. Just only, he had not.
"Yes and it's my pleasure. He doesn't deserve to resurface, again. Oh and thanks to you silver fox, I don't have to die along with you and would be very happy with my new life from now on."
Kuronue just said coolly while stood crossing his arms and glaring down at smaller blooded body on the ground stirred back to live. His tried body tensed up and jerked with incredible pain suddenly welled up inside and torn out as several deep cuts on his skin. His scream was louder and louder with every cut appeared more in every second. He tried to glare up at his ex-mate but he couldn't see anything through his dull eyes. Just only pain and wet warm liquid he felt while his life was being tortured and sucked off.
"K……Kuro…….."
The only name in head but Kurama couldn't even finish it through his pain and regret deep inside his mind. The dying fox knew this time would finally come and it'd be the best that his ex-mate did it himself. Rethinking again, it's not fair to drag him to die with his unforgivable sin, so, it's all right. Just only he's alive, it's all what he wanted.
His shiver lips formed a gentle and truly smile for the Koorime who painfully looked at him behind unseen kekkai. It's the only thing he could do before all of his strength was sucked off and left just silent and shallow breath to suffer the torture till his last breath.
Pair of crimson eyes widened with that smile and bit his lower lips hard to bleed but Hiei didn't care. Hell that fox's stupid; he just made up his mind to submit his death easily like that. He knew he shouldn't care and let go as his mate's ask but he couldn't. Who could. But, he surely was careless with everything all around him even his losing blood, the two beybladers' and Kouichi's cried for his brother and Socerimon to wake up and helped or did something for the dying youkai.
No more hope inside black flame youkai's body that suddenly felt weak and slid down on his knees. He didn't bother to use his fire as he knew it didn't ever scratch the unseen wall. He tried so hard not to scream more; Kurama never wanted that, the infamous proud silver fox never wanted pity or any sorry for his death. With that stupid decision, this strong barrier and without his dragon, the Koorime couldn't do anything. Couldn't and never at all.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The two beybladers stood uncomfortably with torture sight of Kurama. They given up for awhile after had tried almost everything, even a sky way and under the ground, to break the unseen barrier that spread covered its creator like huge dome. It's even stronger than Kurama's and Hiei's. This tall youkai surely was higher rank demon.
They couldn't help gritting teeth with irritation that no more they could do besides watching like this. They really silently felt sorry for the older twin that still slammed and hit on the barrier, calling his brother and Socerimon to help Kurama but it seemed the unseen wall was blocked even his voice. However, they still didn't want to drag or stop the boy; they never wanted anything to get their nerve more than they already had and Kouichi's crying voice was in their list.
This hell vision was going to drive them go nuts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wake up……
Why…….
Who…….
Now…….
It's time……..
Why……..
Just go…….
End everything as it should be, our Lightness son……
He needs you…….
We all need you……
Why……..
Just go………
End everything………
Dull azure eyes slowly opened. His light laying and floating body slid down to stand on the ground gently. His vision was nothing beside the tall black youkai and blooded dying teen on the ground. Everyone was freeze when he lightly stepped to standing before the chimera who stared down at him silently.
Somehow, the light around the boy's body made him felt strangely warm inside and stopped him from tearing this kid apart with his curl blades. He felt trust in that light and surprisingly slowly nodded, leaning down to kneel on one knee. Their eyes were at the same level. The older eyes stared at the boy's and let his small hands touch his cheeks. He carefully listened to that small calm and soft voice spook to him without notice three lights shot down and stayed over their head.
"Dark claimed your spirit. You're really sure to want everything end like this? I don't think so. Please, return to your true and real self that have died for so long."
Suddenly, the first thing flashed in the youkai's mind were getting away and killed the boy but he stopped before he could even jerk away when warm light was faster. It covered him and if everyone carefully listened, they'd surprisingly hear scream voice of dark spirit that showed itself at the first time over its possessed body and faint away like smoke.
"You really want him and yourself to end like this?" Soft gently voice asked the tall youkai, again.
"Yes, it's the way we are and the only thing he could do for accept his sin." Kuronue dryly said but the boy could feel hurt and regret inside him.
"No, it's not. Your believe is only what you believe. But I'm asking you, ask your mind that you really wanted this? It's true that he had betrayed you but didn't you try to think why he did that? You do know as well as him that's why. You two just pretend to ignore it. Do what you believe and should do."
"But I sacrificed his life for him to life and what he did for deserve it was betraying our bound, shove everything away and turn to another mate. It's…..It's unforgivable."
"Yes, it's but as the one who left alone behind like that, you think how he felt. He also lived through nearly thousand years all alone and even through his second life. You think how does he feel?"
"But I did it for him. I save his life. His honest life."
"Positive way, yes and he lives through his saved life and even struggle to reach a second life for you. But negative way? You're just a selfish one who makes him suffer with living all alone forever. He might go nuts even after seeing you died that time. What do you truly see through his saved life? Even he had to betray his bound with you; he still was willing to do it, just only to life for you. Understand? Please, accept his feeling and do what you should do for the two of you. And you already know that death is death. Your resurfaced life is just bitterly illusion. Fake truth."
"P….Please don't……Just let me……I deserve it…….."
Faint weak sound was heard from bloodied lips. Torn lean body struggled to sit up and looked pleading to the young boy. He wished for it. He's willing to accept it.
"It's……my fault……"
The chimera youkai suddenly felt sorrow welled up as his tear that slid down his face when he heard. The warm feeling of light suddenly turned to be cool with what he had done. Could he forgive him?
"You always wish to die?" Kuronue couldn't stop himself to ask.
"Yes……only by your hand………" Last word came with last blood cough and no more word as he's too weak to even stay sitting, dropping lifelessly on the ground.
Now, the chimera understood everything. Though, their bound and everything was ruined but the fox was still like his own self, no matter what had changed. He's still the most honest one with compromise. He still was the dame fox that loved to scarify everything for his honor, word and pride for just keeping promise with everyway he could think of, even the lowest patch. And, he willingly let his self suffered through his lone life just for keeping promise that he would live for him and what he had done for him.
The bat youkai didn't regret what he was going to done, anymore. It's his fault, his mistake, though it's just half as he believed, and now it's time to fix it.
"No, it's not your fault, please don't think that way. You and Kuronue just did what should do but although that….. Are you sure you want me to really do it? You'll make him cry, again." Kouji said with guilty and regret in his voice and hugged around the taller man's neck tightly.
"Yes, it's the only thing I always want to keep, no matter what. Like yours, Kurama. You think that your scarified life would save me that I don't have to die with you when our bound's cut, right? What a stupid head you have, my fox." Kuronue amused said to Kurama before turned back to the boy. Long lean figure gently wiped sad tear away from young human face.
"Please don't cry. As you said, we all just did what we should do. And death is death……. Though, I keep staying alive like this, it's just not long, anyway, ne?"
The boy nodded and wiped his tear away himself. He finally smiled through his hurt inside for the other and let him go. Kuronue nodded thank you and walked to kneel beside Kurama and gathered him in his arms. White fangs gently sank in pale neck, at the same old place, marking the smaller figure to be his mate and bonding them together, once again.
You shouldn't do this Kuro-chan! You'll die. Just let me died alone, I deserve it….. The nervous fox couldn't stop his tear, anymore and repeated all his plead, again.
No, it's just me, not you, silly fox. You already heard the boy, right? I'd end up in death eventually. Sooner or later and I'm truly fine with it. I forgive you, so please life and keep this pendant for me again.
Iyata, Kuro-chan…..Not again, please……
It'll be fine. You're not alone and I'm happy with that. Please smile for me, at least for the last time, ne?
The older youkai soothed sobbing figure in his arms gently and kissed tear at the other's corner eye away. He smiled with that shiver lips finally smile for him as he'd asked. Even it's very sad smile, it's all right.
"Digi-code scans!!"
Thank you for everything, Youko Kurama, my fox, my mate……
Kuro…..nue…..
Digivice slid along blue and white digi-code around small hand and to the chimera. Same digi-code appeared around the tall youkai's body and slowly faint disappeared with light covered it.
"Beast Spirit!!"
One of floating three lights that shot from Kouichi's digivice, Beast Wood Spirit, slowly sank down inside the sorrow crying teen's body. White thick cloud suddenly surrounded his body as his changing form was started. The last thing his water eyes saw was smiling face of his old mate that completely disappeared. Black electric sparked and flashed appeared on the cloud. Faint human sobbing sound turned to become sadden crying beast.
While the other, except Hiei, suspected and puzzled with what happened to their redhead teen, Kouji turned to look at them and did the left work.
Human Fire Spirit, please healing the dark flame youkai and staying with him.
The called spirit shot out from one light of the three and floated to the said one, barrier just disappeared. Hot flame surrounded the Koorime and sealed his arm perfectly together. The black youkai didn't know he should ever scream or did anything when Fire Spirit sank inside his chest. But, he didn't feel anything unpleasant, so he just ignored it.
Beast Fire Spirit, please stay with my Darkness twin. Human Wood Spirit, please stay with me, Lightness twin.
The left two Spirits did as told. After everything was done and Kurama's transform was finish, thick cloud and black spark slowly disappeared, leaving only big fur figure lying on the ground, none wounds appeared on its body.
The light boy slowly walked to sit besides crying fox and petted him gently. Everyone jerked on heel when the boy faint beside the beast, light fading away and disappeared along with Socerimon's. The white wizard who the two beybladers went to check still was deadly unconscious on the ground. The Russian boys just kept wondering inside that what the heck was going on.
Hiei rushed to kneel beside his mate, now in true fox form, and called softly. He wasn't and never good at sooth words, so he just rubbed silver soft fur gently to calm him down. But it seemed no use that the fox still curl like ball, five tails wrapped around his shaking body and kept softly whining in beast sound.
"Stop crying already, idiot fox!!"
He couldn't help snapping his mate. He couldn't bear to see him weak be like this. He supported to be the strong, tough, heartless and the most aggressive one of Makai. But, he couldn't do anything more than looked pity and sorry as long as the fox cried none stop like this. This fucking world and everything here, especially that hell f—king bastard that resurfaced that chimera up to suffer his fox, again. He really wanted to destroy it all.
