A Dreadful Day





A/N I DON"T OWN IT OK STOP POINTING IT OUT any ways....very sad chapter for some people....







Yusuke muttered under his breath 'Slow ass'



Hiei was running just slow enough for everyone to keep up. Yusuke ran right by him. Even though he wouldn't admit it... he doubted they could actually beat Sakyo, the Toguro brothers and Karasu.. they went through a portal to Maki. they landed in a forest. Hiei stopped running



"what is it" asked Kurama



Yusuke blinked. He wondered what Hiei was doing.



"she has been here, but it was a while a go He replied.



"Oh" Yusuke said.



"they are quite a ways away now. we'll have to go as far as we can tonight" Hiei said



Yusuke nodded. "I think we should just go until we get there" he said.



"no you'll need your rest."



Yusuke shrugged. "Whatever"



Kurama held the sleeping Zax in his arms. "HE needs to rest." Kurama said



Zax's energy was still raising. And if you looked closing... he had fangs.



Yusuke nodded. "Fine ok"



"we'll go on till the sun sets" Hiei said



Yusuke nodded again.



Hiei started to run again but slowed down a little so he could keep an eye on Zax. Yusuke ran as well. Keeping up. Zax slept silently in Kurama's arms. Kurama moved so soft, Zax didn't wake up at all. Kuwabara was close behind



~*~*In The Dark, Evil Castle*~*~



Hikari and Yukina were both in different cells in a dark Dongguan. The younger Toguro had beaten Hikari badly, listening to Sakyo's orders. But he hadn't hurt Yukina. Not yet at least... Karasu was standing there watching. he knew Kurama would be coming with Hiei. Hikari brought her knees to herself. She cried into her knees. Hikari had been beaten so badly, her shirt was covered completely in blood.





Hiei could sense Hikari was hurt. he wanted to continue, but the others would need their rest.



"we'll set up camp here" he said



Yusuke shrugged. "Fine. Whatever. It's not like I'm tired or anything..." he said.



Hiei just glared at him



Yusuke blinked. "What?!" he said.



"let's get something to eat and then sleep" Kurama said shutting Yusuke up before he got into trouble



Yusuke just muttered something like 'Little runt doesn't even care about his own girlfriend and I

can sense she is close to dying...'.



"I realize the danger she is in. that's why I need you to rest! we will need all of our energy to delete them!! Now go to sleep darn it!!!" Hiei said with great emotion





Yusuke blinked. "Ok..." he said a bit surprised.



Kurama fixed them something to eat and they all ate. Yusuke gobbled down his food. He was starving... Kuwabara barely touched his



In the castle, Toguro was bored so he hurt Hikari again. She fell to the ground, unconscious. Yukina just watched... terrified.



Back to the guys... Yusuke winced. He could feel Hikari's energy go farther down.

Hiei barely slept and Kuwabara was out like a light. Kurama slept but not heavily. he kept an ear out for danger. Yusuke slept lightly. He couldn't sleep... the good side of him told him they should have just went and saved Hikari already. It this made him very uneasy.



When the sun rose Hiei was ready to go.....Kuwabara was still sleeping but the others woke up

Yusuke yawned tiredly. He stretched.



"wake that idiot up will you" said Hiei

Yusuke started to nudge Kuwabara with his foot lightly. Every nudge getting harder and harder.



Kuwabara still slept



Yusuke took his foot and kicked Kuwabara in the stomach somewhat hard. Not that hard.



"it's ok guys I can take him" Kuwabara said in his sleep



"Oh please" said Hie

Yusuke blinked at Hiei saying 'Please'. He took Kuwabara by the shoulders and shook him slightly. "Baka. Wake up"



"what" he said half asleep



"Wake up. We need to go save Hikari and Yukina before they get k-- before they get more hurt then they already are" Yusuke said. He wasn't going to use the word 'killed' today. It... just would make him feel like they wouldn't save the two in time.



"YUKINA I'M COMING" he yelled waking up Zax



Zax woke up and started to cry. His ears hurt badly.



"IDIOT! shut your mouth!" Hiei said



Zax held his ears and finally stop crying, just whimpered. Kurama held him and they started going again. Zax looked around at everything. He wanted his mother badly. Hiei knew how his son was feeling Zax sighed and just looked around depressed. Yusuke continued to run. Zax was depressed. Even for a baby.



after 4 hours of running they reached the castle



Yusuke blinked. "Great place for evil demons." he said as he noticed the eerie, dark castle.



"just shut up and walk" said Hiei



Yusuke sighed. Hiei was getting irritated easily the past few days...



He walked behind Hiei. Kurama wasn't far behind. Zax was asleep again. He now had fangs and claws and if you looked closely... red eyes. Somehow, he was giving his energy to Hiei, Kurama and Yusuke. And for a baby... that kid had a whole lot of energy. Kuwabara was just following them trying to stay out of the way. Zax was giving Kuwabara the most energy since... he really needed it. Hiei lead them through the castle. they traveled forever.



Sakyo now knew that the guys were in the castle. He talked to Karasu on a transmitter talky thing. "The Reikai Tantia have entered the building. Take care of them."



Karasu had Known Kurama was in the castle. he felt his energy. the only reason he want along with this whole Kidnaping thing was to get to Kurama.



Toguro was watching Hikari and Yukina. Hikari was unconscious, near death. She had lost so much blood and Toguro wouldn't let the wounds clot. He would just reopen them.



Zax was now awake again and could feel all the evil energy. He gave Hiei all of his energy, making Hiei almost twice as strong as normal....



Hiei could smell Hikari's blood he followed the scent. all of the sudden they ran into Karasu.



Kurama knew what was going on



Zax could smell Hikari's blood also and tried not to cry. But he couldn't help it and whimpered.



He didn't want to know his mother was near death... but... he knew very well.



All of the sudden they ran into



"Every one go on ahead! I'll take care of him!" said Kurama "Yusuke! Take Zax"



Yusuke took Zax from Kurama. He followed Hiei.



Zax gave all his energy to Hiei, Kurama and Yusuke now. He fell back asleep.



"Weird... I feel a lot stronger...." Yusuke said.



Kuwabara had no idea what was happening. all he Knew was ha wanted to see Yukina.



Kurama stood there with Karasu



Yukina wanted to see Hiei and Kazuma again. She brought her knees to herself and tried not to

cry.



"so you haven't changed much." said Karasu. "still as beautiful as ever. why do you stay in this human body. you could become a demon again and join me"



"NEVER" said Kurama " I have priorities now. I won't"



"then I'll just have to kill you!" replied Karasu



Hikari's heart stopped beating for a second. Toguro came in and shook her and then her heart continued to beat. Sakyo had told him very very VERY clearly that he could hurt her as much as he wanted but couldn't kill her. Not yet...



Karasu lunged toward Kurama, but Kurama got out of the way. he took a seed and planted the seed of the death plant in Karasu. Karasu Kept going after Kurama not Knowing what had happened. Finally Kurama raised his energy and the plant started to grow. Karasu fell to his Knees.



"Why Kurama? I love You Why did you kill me" with that he died



Kurama hurried to catch up with the others

Yusuke held Zax close so he didn't drop him and Zax was warm. Hiei had been running forever. he finally stopped when he saw Hikari and Yukina.



Kuwabara went over to see Yukina. "Yukina are you ok?"



Yukina was still in the cell. She had fear in her eyes. The younger Toguro ran in front of the cell.



"If you want to see her, you must defeat me first" he said.



Hikari was on the ground. Almost dead. Locked in a cell there no way in hell was there a way to get into.



Kuwabara drew his spirit and took on the Toguro brother. He kept lunging at him but Kuwabara was just too slow. Toguro took Kuwabara by the neck. He raised Kuwabara in the air. Kuwabara struggled with all his might, but it was no use. Toguro moved his hand and broke Kuwabara's neck.
