Chapter 2: Not Kuronue?!
The group had all met up. They were now staring at an area of fog that was really, really thick. It lead to a giant hole. "Not this way," said Hinageshi, a red haired spirit guide. "No, it doesn't make any difference," said Kurama. A scythe falls in front of them. Kuronue appears out of the fog. "You are correct Kurama," he said. "Kuronue!" exclaimed Kurama. "You know this guy?" asked Yusuke. "He was a partner of mine, at one time. Let me take care of this," said Kurama. He walks towards Kuronue who leaps onto a crane. "Kurama, are you still against your old partner?" he asked. "His old partner? Is he OK?" asked Kuwahara. "Come, Kurama!" said Kuronue as he leapt into the fog. Kurama ran a few steps forward, looked around, and saw an elevator. He quickly got in and pressed the "down" button. Someone yelled his name, it was probably Yusuke, or maybe it was Kwahara. The group ran forward as Kurama's elevator goes into the giant hole. The door opened, and Kurama walked out. He saw a swinging scythe, but nothing else in the fog. He was standing near a pole, but that doesn't really have any relevance to the story. He turned his head a few times, then started walking forward. He then heard Kuronue say, "You are truly despicable." He looked up in surprise as Kuronue materialized behind him. He turned around and gasped. He looked at Kuronue who says, "In the past, you fled and left me to die. Now you are trying to destroy our dream, old friend." He threw his scythe at Kurama who quickly jumped backward. "Kuronue, it is true that I could not rescue you that day, but please believe this, I.I tried, I really tried," said Kurama. "Silence," says Kuronue who throws four scythes at Kurama. Kurama expertly doges the first three with two sideways jumps, and a back flips. Kurama jumped high and did a back flip. The scythe misses him, but the wound from the first battle stars bleeding. Kurama falls to the ground grunting, and gasping in pain. "Kurama!" yelled Kuwahara. "We can't do anything for him with all this damn fog everywhere!" "This is his problem," said Hiei. "He has to resolve it all on his own." The others all ad-lib with "huh?" And "what?". Kuronue flicked his scythe at Kurama, who yelled. "Don't do this! Rose whip!" He yelled and pulled out his rose whip very quickly, so as not to be killed. The scythe and rose whip collided. The scythe fell harmlessly away. "What's wrong," asked Kuronue in a mocking tone. "You're not fighting back." "Kuronue, what you are trying to do now is wrong," Kurama shot back after falling down from his knees. How is that possible? I'm not sure. "You say it's wrong? How dare you say that!" Kuronue is now angry. He pulled his scythe back. "Listen to me Kuronue!" Kurama pleaded. Kuronue comes from behind him with the scythe. He jumps down cutting into Kurama's arm. Kurama rolled about a yard, grunts then said something that sounds like either "ow" or "oh". "You still haven't remembered, have you?" asked Kuronue. "You left me." Kurama is gasping for breath and clutching his injured arm. Kuronue started swinging his pendant. Many scythes are seen, they start to swing. Kurama is too preoccupied by his injury to notice. "You're a traitor," Kuronue continued. "Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor!" "What the hell is that creepy noise?" asked Kuwahara. The noise continued and Hiei drew his sword, then threw it. Everyone gasped as metal hit metal. Everyone ran forward as Hiei picked up a scythe. "I thought so," he said. "What is it?" asked Yusuke "He's causing scythes like this to resonate and form a shield," said Hiei, swinging the scythe. "Within it he creates evil hallucinations." "So then, Kurama is being tricked," said Hinageshi. A scythe hit Kurama in the leg, which caused him to fly up and twist in mid- air. He landed on his side. "Now you can make up for your ugly past!" exclaimed Kuronue. "I.didn't-" Kurama struggled to speak. "What's wrong Kurama? Are you going to try and kill me, so as to save yourself again? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" Kuronue mocks. Kurama thinks "No you're wrong. That time, your pendant." He groans quite a few times in this whole process. "With this scythe I will now cleanse your pathetic soul!" said Kuronue as he threw the pendant. "What's this?" wondered Kurama. He goes into a flash-back.
"Don't, Kuronue!" yelled Kurama stopping.
Kuronue's warm red blood spilled over the bamboo pole. "Forget about me Kurama! Go ruuun," yelled Kuronue.
"Now I finish you!" yelled Kuronue. A swirl of fog surrounded Kurama. "Kuronue, please give me.strength," he whispered pulling a plant out of his hair that he had stuck there earlier. "Die," yelled Kuronue. He attacked, but Kurama is quicker. Kurama stabbed him through the middle using the plant he had manipulated with his spirit energy. "Y-you." "The one with the ugly rotten soul is you! You are not my old friend Kuronue! Show me your true form!" yelled Kurama. The image of Kuronue fuzzes and a red spiky haired demon takes its place. "How did you discover my trick?" asked the demon. "I could tell. First of all, Kuronue always carried this pendant with him," Kurama flashed the pendant. "He would never just throw it away. What's more, no matter what the circumstances.he would never attack an enemy from the rear." The demon threw a scythe, but missed horribly. Kurama was glowing yellow. "Kuronue risked his life telling me to run away. You twisted my memories of our friendship." Kurama sent out thorny vines that attack the demon, raising him above the fog, and stabbing the demon in many places. "What the." exclaimed Kuwahara. Hiei jumped up and exploded the demon, which also caused leaves to float down to where Kurama is. He seemed to be in a bamboo forest. He stood in silent memory. Hiei dropped down. "So even someone as calm as you occasionally gets angry. That's good to know." "Not being able to save Kuronue that day--" Kurama started. "Kurama. There is no one who does not carry scares on his heart. If there were someone like that, he would be a shallow soul." Hiei told him. Yusuke nodded then said, "Let's go!" "Yes!" said Kurama.
