Revenge on the Kitsune Chapter 6

"Hey, what's going on?" Kuwabara asked as he walked into Genkai's temple. Everyone's gloomy faces were enough to tell him something was wrong.

After a few minutes Yusuke finally answered. "Kurama.he's dead."

"What? When?"

"This morning, just about an hour after you left," Yukina replayed.

*****

'Where am I? If I were dead then would I be in the Spirit World? But if I'm alive, then why am I wondering in this dark void of nothingness?'

"Because Kurama, you're neither living, nor are you dead."

"Koenma?!" Kurama looked behind him to see Koenma in his teenage form. "What do you mean I'm not living, yet I'm not dead?"

"I mean that in the human world you are truly dead, but in the Spirit World you aren't."

"How can that be?"

"Well to tell you the truth, I don't know." Koenma paused for a moment and sighed. "Why did you give up Kurama? Don't you know what affect your death will have on Yusuke, Hiei, Kuwabara, Yukina, and all your other friends?"

Kurama didn't answer at first, but Koenma didn't miss the look of hurt in the fox's eyes. "I'm not important to them. They don't care."

"But they do Kurama! You gave up before you knew if they really cared or not!" Koenma shouted at the fox.

"Koenma, whatever happens I took a chose. Just get me out of this void."

"Kurama, you can't just give up."

"But I can Koenma. I already have."

"I'll make a deal with you, Kurama. If I show you everyone's reactions to your death and you still want to die, then I'll take you to Spirit World."

"And if I decide to go back."

"Then you can go back to your body and apologize to everyone for wanting to die."

"Fine, I'll agree, on one condition."

"That would be..?"

"After you show me their reactions, you don't try and change my choice."

"Agreed."

*****

"What's with all the sad faces?" Botan asked as she walked into the room.

"You of all people should know Botan," Yusuke said as a confused look crossed the ferry girls face.

"What, how should I know?"

"KURAMA'S DEAD, BOTAN! YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU DON'T KNOW THAT!?!" Yusuke yelled at her.

"He's dead?" she asked in a shocked voice.

"Why does that surprise you?" Hiei spoke for the first time since Yukina had told him and Yusuke about Kurama.

"Well he didn't arrive in Spirit World, and none of the ferry girls took him there, so unless Lord Koenma took him himself, and his admission into the Spirit World was private, then I don't know what happened."

"But why would Koenma make his admission to the Spirit World private?"

"I don't know."

*****

The void seemed to swirl and there was a sudden picture of Yukina placing a cloth on Kurama's forehead. The small demon girl's eyes suddenly grew wide. "No, it can't be," she gasped. "Please Kurama, please wake up. We didn't forget about you. Please, you have to wake up, you can't die." Kurama felt his heart tighten in his chest as he saw tear gems hit the floor.

~*~*~*~*~*

In the room by Kurama's, Yusuke and Hiei sat. Both looked up when Yukina ran into the room. Their eyes widen slightly as they saw the tear gems. "Oh Hiei, Kurama, he's."

The looks on his friends faces made him feel even worse than when he saw Yukina's tear gems. The room became so silence that to Kurama it seemed that it couldn't be louder.

~*~*~*~*~*

Kuwabara finally walked into the temple and looked around at everyone. Hey, what's going on?" there was a fearful note in his voice.

"Kurama.he's dead." Yusuke said flatly. Kurama felt as if someone had taken a dagger and stabbed it through his heart.

"What? When?" There when the dagger again.

*****

Botan raced into Koenma's office, only to find that he wasn't there. "Where's Lord Koenma?" Botan asked in a shrill voice. George who just happened to be in the office looked up.

"I don't know. He said he had important business to take care of."

"Damn!" Botan then raced out of the room again, heading back toward Genkai's temple.

*****

"So, have you made your choice, Kurama?" Koenma asked as the void retuned to normal.

"Yes."

"What are you going to do then?"

Koenma became scared when Kurama didn't answer at first. "I'm going to."

Well that's this chapter. I don't know how long it will take me to write the next chapter but I'm sort of stuck on one spot, so it could be a little while.

Don't own YYH. Isn't it so sad?
