Chapter 8 Goodbye Humans(Tai's POV First Person)
The next morning we all awoke. And…ITAI!!! There was an absolutely terrible pain in my sides. I couldn't stand. The pain bit and threatened to overwhelm me and would result in sleep that most don't wake up from. I struggled to inhale, breathing slowly, with short breaths.
Kurama was next to get up. He too was suffering from what looked like the same pain. He grabbed his sides, stood on his knees, and fell over coughing up blood in the process.
K Something's wrong. Tai!T Kurama, Kurama, are you ok?
Stupid question. He was coughing up blood what did I expect.
K I don't know. Something is wrong. My body fails to react.
T I don't know what's wrong. ITAI!!!!!
With the last word, I spat blood out. Hiei was soon up and he, too, was in pain. I saw him wince. Hiei then immediately pulled his shirt off and inspected his side. Nothing was there. Nothing was on my sides and nothing on Kurama's.
T Hiei, you ok?Another stupid question, but it seemed like the right thing to say… err… think.
H FineT No, you're not.
H If you knew why do you ask?
T Good question. I have an even better question. WHAT IS GOING ON?!
K Something is happening inside us. Something is eating at us from the inside!
T And what do you suppose we should do?
K Don't know.
Kurama coughed up blood and the room was hot, smelly, and totally disgusting. Yusuke and Kuwabara had failed to wake up. They fell into the sleep that most do not wake up from.
K We have to fight it. It's the only way.
I tried hard to fight, but nothing was working. Soon I was surrounded in so much pain that I was on the edge of life and consciousness. I thought of my brother and the times we used to have. My life was flashing before me. And yet, not a sorrowful memory was there; only those of happiness and good cheer filled my mind. I laughed out loud, and when I did, all pain left my body. I stood up and extremely surprised said, "I'm ok," though it was more a question then a statement.
I turned to face Kurama and Hiei, "You have to think of something happy. You have to laugh." They looked extremely doubtful as if they thought I was only going to send them to their graves. "DO IT!!"
They both tried to contain their shock at my outburst, and succeeded quite well because suddenly their facial expression turned from shock to extreme pain. After a while, Kurama stood up, too. He was laughing uncontrollably and fell over, at least it wasn't because he was on the verge of dying.
Hiei, however, wasn't doing such a good job. His face contorted with pain and fear was not at all very happy-looking. "I can't do it!!!" he yelled.
What was I supposed to do? I didn't want Hiei to die. It would almost be as bad as losing my brother again. I heard a voice. A freakishly familiar voice. Minikia!
"Oh how good revenge does feel. It was Taikana's family that hurt me the worst, and killing Hiei would probably kill her too."
I panicked, what was I supposed to do? So I did the only thing that came to mind. I kissed Hiei. Maybe it was out of a selfish desire to kiss him, but he was instantly out of pain and returned the kiss.
"Damn you all." Minikia's voice faded, "I will get you. Be warned. Your days are numbered."

That was amazingly short and boring, but…wait for the next chappie. I promise to make it better than all of the other chappies, but who knows when I'll write it.
I'm so evil.
