Topazia: Thanks again for reviewing! I love you guys! As far as worrying
about Yukina...well. Let's wait till we cross that path shall we? ^^'
"Yu...Yukina..." Glittery jewels littered the ground around them. Glittery black jewels. Whimpering softly Hiei balled his hands into tight fists, slamming them down on the ground repeatedly. Why did it have to end this way? A soft chuckle sounded from behind him.
"You will come with me now Hiei! Or, suffer the fate of your beloved twin." The woman sneered.
Hiei gently laid Yukina's body on the soft snow resting her hands across her chest. She appeared sleeping, as if nothing was wrong, but he knew better. "I'd never give myself up so easily. I don't go to trash, trash comes to me." The Koorime sneered.
"I don't think you have much say in the matter, you're already weak and wounded." The demon replied running her hand through her hair. "All I have to do is take care of you and your partner in crime will fall right into my hands." She balled her fists while smirking.
"He has nothing to do with this. Keep him out of it!" How dare she use him like a toy.
"I'm afraid I can't do that...I've been hired to bring you both in and that's what I'm going to do." She extended her fist forward, opening it and releasing a shiny black substance. It wrapped around Hiei bounding him to the spot. The more he struggled the tighter it seemed to become, sneaking and curling it's way around his already battered body. "Not talking so big are we? Maybe if you yell in agony your friend will come to your aid, not that there's much I can do...you already seem weak from blood loss."
Hiei snorted at the demon, spitting at her feet. "If that's your plan then try again. I'd rather die then to depend on him!" He cringed again, as she tightened her hold on him, thoughts of slicing her in several places came to mind, but in his condition he needed a miracle. He swore bitterly, seeing as his demise was near and all this started with a phrase, a single phrase.
If it weren't for Kurama, maybe this wouldn't have ever happened. He wouldn't have been hurt, he would have never tried to steal that damn sword again, and Yukina would still be alive. But he couldn't blame the fox. Hell, he needed him...he needed the Kistune but his pride was getting the best of him. Mainly because he wasn't used of having to be saved, no, not him! Hiei hated to admit it, but he'd do anything to have the fox next to him right now, holding him, worrying about him, anything to have... Unable to take it anymore he squeezed his eyes shut, his mind screaming all of what his mouth refused to say.
*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kurama's eyes were closed tight with concentration, as he transferred some of his youkai into his project. Yusuke actually thought of something good for once. He was still hesitant to use it though, what if it didn't work? "That's it Kurama, just a little more." Yusuke mumbled. Botan squealed with delight, bouncing around the room merrily.
"Almost finished Yusuke, I just need to...ah!" A sharp stabbing sensation struck him suddenly and the fox's hand shot up to cover his heart. His eyes widened he sat there for a moment trying to regain his breath.
"Ku...rama?" Botan asked cautiously. His yell had caught her off guard but she quickly rushed to see what had happened, as well as Yusuke.
"What happened Fox boy, you ok?" Yusuke place a steady hand on Kurama's shoulder and squeezed it.
"There's something wrong, with Hiei." Kurama managed after a while, his hand still in its place over his heart. Silence had fallen over the room now.
Yusuke shrugged. "How can you tell?" He didn't feel any different, what was Kurama talking about anyway? The pain he felt could have come from something he ate, it happens all the time, he should know.
"I just can...it's a natural feeling a person sometime has when someone they care about is in trouble." the redhead replied. Quietly he got up and dusted himself off, covering his project from view.
"But, you can't just leave it here." Botan protested motioning towards the covered item. "What if it doesn't work?" He could have at least tested the thing first.
Kurama's eyes wandered in her direction. "Be careful what you say Botan, plants have feelings too." He paused for a while, a small smile playing on his lips. He shook his head, releasing a soft chuckle. " I don't know how to thank you all, you've been so helpful to me. It's a shame I may never see you again."
Yusuke snorted and shoved his head in his pockets. "Don't say that, if it's one thing I hate, it's got to be goodbyes. We'll see each other again anyway, so don't get any ideas."
"Yusuke's right, we'll meet again, that's what friends are supposed to do." Botan gave him a reassuring smile, one that he would miss dearly. He'd miss all you them, lil' Shu-chan's annoying teasing, Kuwabara's bad attempt at short jokes, Yusuke's cockiness, Botan's bubbly personality, and most of all, his mother's wonderful smile. To her he owed the most. Nodding to his friends Kurama waved one last time before disappearing through his bedroom window. He had to leave then, for it he hadn't he wouldn't want to leave, and plus Hiei was in need of his help, somewhere...
Topazia: there! Another Chapter finished! Still, wondering what Kurama was working on? Well, I tell you later.
