~Kazima
"What a little bit*h."
The others glanced over at Kuwabara who had pushed himself in a chair. He was in the corner and leaned against the wall, his feet in the next chair.
"I've never touched a woman before in my life, but that thing....oh she's pushing it."
"Kuwabara we give you permission to hit her." Yusuke said smiling. "We won't tell anyone."
"You'd still be the most honorable human I know." Kurama said cradling Hiei.
Kuwabara smiled, but frowned. "Does anyone else beside me want to tell what happened in their tests? Mine...are really bothering me."
Hiei glanced at him. "I think it would be best to share these pitiful tests."
"Yeah this way we can skip out on therapy." Yusuke joked, and then added, "I'll go first."
"My first test I woke up and I thought all this had been a dream. Kira wasn't there and we were at the picnic spot. I was laying down with Kuwabara over me-"
"Ew."
"NOT THAT WAY!" Yusuke snapped smacking a chuckling Kuwabara's leg.
"Well, he was looking down at me saying he dunked me under the water. So I started a play fight, and we got up. We were laughing and stuff and the next thing I know, I punched Kuwabara, you know like I always do."
"Hmm." Hiei nodded sounding as if he was recalling a fond memory. Kuwabara glared at him.
Yusuke swallowed. "He fell down and when I looked at him, I saw that his neck was broken I killed him...I killed my best friend!" Kuwabara reached over and squeezed Yusuke's shoulder.
Yusuke smiled, glad to feel his friends presence.
"I was freaked out and I was panicking. I didn't mean to do it. Kurama and Hiei were weird out and I somehow accidentally killed Kurama, and Hiei began to yell at me. You were screaming as if I was a monster." Yusuke said remembering, "And then I'd ripped off Hiei's arm."
"Then I noticed Hiei's bandages were on the wrong side, and I said that this wasn't real and passed my test. My tests have always been about me being able to tell if what I saw was real or not."
Yusuke shook his head.
"It all seemed so real to me."
"Urameshi..." Kuwabara said gently remembering how Yusuke had cried, and seemed afraid of Kuwabara when he came back.
"My next test was about my Mom. I was in an asylum, and my Mom was there. She was insane...She'd lost it because I wasn't aging. Because of the demon blood in me, I hadn't aged one bit. And...she was ranting and raving about that. She thought she'd done something wrong."
He rubbed his watering eyes. "And...And I answered that that was real. I was correct of course...but as soon as I get to see my Mom...I'm telling her. I'm telling her everything. I don't want to see her like that again."
Yusuke pressed his palms into his eyes. "Never again."
There was silence and then Kurama began, "My tests were mostly about all of you." He smiled sadly.
The first ones you all were standing on plaques, and from one reason or another you couldn't move. You were unable to escape-"
"Not possible." Hiei scoffed.
Kurama smiled shaking his head, "And below you were spikes that would kill you. I was given a twig to save you with. Kira didn't know about me being able to manipulate plants, and so I made the twig grow and destroyed the spikes."
His eyes glistened with sadness, "But...all of you were horribly injured, Kuwabara had lost both his hands."
"Well Fu*k." Kuwabara said wincing.
"Yusuke had his shoulder dislocated-"
"That's not too bad!" Yusuke said smugly.
"And your foot was twisted all away around and the bone was sticking out his leg."
"I take that back..."
Kurama smiled, he felt lighter sharing what happened to him. "And Hiei had managed to get a spike through his hip, blood everywhere."
Hiei shrugged, he couldn't care less.
"The next test was about my mother and Yusuke. I had to save them both at the same time...I took a risk, and almost killed Yusuke." Kurama laughed to cover a sob. "I am such a moron..."
"Yeah right!" Yusuke said waiving his hand. "I'm still alive. Don't worry about it Kurama...I would have been brought back by Koenma any way...little as* wipe...he won't let me die."
The group had a good laugh about this.
"Mine were simple." Hiei said casually.
"Not the first one! That was fixed!" Kuwabara pointed out proudly.
"What was it about?" Kurama asked.
"His sister and me." Kuwabara answered, Hiei was about to yell at him but blinked. "Ho...HOW'D YOU KNOW WHO SHE WAS?!"
Kurama, and Yusuke were starring at Kuwabara they wanted to know that answer too. "Well..I do have a 6th sense....I can kinda tell..."
The group sweatdropped, "And you keep on flirting with Yukina knowing that Hiei's her brother!?"
Kuwabara shrugged, "Hiei's a punk, but if Yukina loves me, like I do her, he wouldn't stop her." Kuwabara smiled. "Your nicer than you act." Hiei snorted.
"Nice my as*"
He sighed," Yes, it was about Yukina and Kuwabara. Yukina was behind these three walls. One wall would kill her if knocked down, the other wall would destroy my soul. And the the 3rd was, a chained and severely beaten, dying Kuwabara. I wasn't allowed to kill in this test."
Hiei's eyes flickered, "At my feet were Yusuke's and Kurama's heads."
Yusuke scrunched up his face. Kurama shivered a bit.
"Then as you know the idiot blew up the fake Kuwabara's heart, helped me and got his as* in trouble."
Kuwabara grumbled to himself.
"My 2nd task was easier. You three were all sewn into these living walls. All minutes away from death."
"Oh that's disgusting!" Yusuke said covering his mouth.
Hiei ignored the comment and continued," There was a black hole on the ceiling and to save you had to toss in a flesh offering, basically myself. But Kira said once again, no killing. So I cut off my arm and gave the vortex that."
The others mouths were agape. "HOW'D YOU GET IT BACK!?" Kuwabara asked trying to scoot away. "Kira gave it back...but not before I lost all this blood." Hiei said addressing his attire.
After a long period of silence, Yusuke nudged Kuwabara.
"You already heard what happened to me..." He said uncomfortably.
"Not all of it." Kurama said easily, not wishing Kuwabara to force himself.
The human, like Hiei, had lost a lot of blood and was still losing it. The group encouraged him to talk, All fearing he would stop...in more ways than one.
Kuwabara sighed and began his tale.
"Well I pissed Kira off, and my test was to walk over a pit of fire, without shoes or socks, to rescue you guys. The pit was fire, hot coals, and liquid steel." Kuwabara shuddered uncontrollably, and closed his eyes.
Yusuke took his friends hand, urging him to go on.
"Well...I had to do it to save you guys so I of course agreed. Well, Kira then told me my punishment. The pain would be increased, so much that instead of just enveloping my feet, it went all over my body. By the time I had untied you all, I was nothing but cooked flesh."
The others looked at him, watching as his eyes filled with tears. " My hair...my toes...my fingers...all gone. My skin...just black charred up flesh, and the liquid steel had melted parts of me. My brow had sunken into my eyes, I had no nose, or lips...barley..." Kuwabara was shaking, and Yusuke, who had an enraged look in his eyes, squeezed his hand.
Kuwabara sighed and muttered something about wondering why this was so hard.
"Well...I fell down crying in pain, and screaming. Kira came up and with her hand...rubbed all my skin off...it was the worse pain...I've...ever felt. I don't want to do that again." Kuwabara tried to laugh, but it came out sounding like a raspy cough.
"My 2nd test, was you guys telling the truth about me. Easy. I'm so used to hearing all that now."
"You shouldn't be used to it...I admit...I wasn't too sure about you when we first met...but you are a great, and gentle soul." Kurama said beaming at him sympathetically.
Kuwabara smiled.
"Hey guys...let me tell you...these past few years...I've enjoyed being with you all very much...and if we die, lets try to die in style!" Yusuke said smiling.
"We don't have any shades to die in style with, Urameshi!" Kuwabara teased.
"We're not dying here today. We're going to die old bas*ards." Hiei snorted.
"Yeah and we'll all be together!" yusuke laughed.
While he was laughing, Kuwabara looked away, and Kurama and Hiei glanced at each other. Yusuke still did not know about Kuwabara's decision.
For the rest of the hour they rested and talked about things they planned to do once out of there. All agreeing to get at least a week of therapy from someone from the spirit world.
But mostly they spoke of happy times, and more times of happiness yet to come.
And they all laughed harder when Kira came back filled with rage, to see their merriment.
