Skye: Yes it's me. Why have I come to bug you THIS time? Because of the
next chapter of course!
Ruby: You're writing another chapter? And it hasn't been more than five months?!
Skye: Yeah, crazy huh?
Ruby: Great. Go ahead, trample all over the laws of nature!!! -_- . . . Why exactly did you want to start writing this chapter again?
Skye: Because of Deranged! The poor, poor turtle!! T.T *breaks down crying*
Ruby: T.T
Skye: See, it all happened like this *gets dreamy look in her eyes as we go into flashback mode* My sis (Sweet Rosey here on ff.net (she mostly writes Kodacha)) and her friend found these three turtles while they were at the park, and they brought them home, and their names were Crush, Deranged and Bob, and her friend took Deranged home, and he DIED!!! T.T *breaks down crying again* (Err . . . can anyone say run-on?)
Ruby: *trying, rather badly, to comfort Skye* Apparently he flipped on his back and no one noticed until it was too late.
Skye: Why must the good die?! WHY?!!!
Ruby: There, there.
Skye: This one's for you, Deranged! THIS ONE'S FOR YOU!!!
Disclaimer: *There is a shriek in the background* I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho. *Gasp* I know. Surprising isn't it?

Kurama walked down the trail in the park kicking a rock with his shoe. His thoughts were muddled; he couldn't seem to get them in order. Nothing like this had ever happened before. He was always in control. He was neat, he was orderly, and he was organized. So what had that been about? He had never let his emotions get that out of hand. Alright, so he wasn't Hiei . . .
Hiei. What had happened to him? He had come upon him, lying in the middle of a glade, unconscious and bleeding. He had been barely alive when he had gotten him to Genkai's temple, the closest building, and only Botan quickly fetching Yukina had kept him from dieing at all. And then he had been in a coma. For two years.
Kurama had been fighting the obvious all that time, the unmistakable truth that Hiei would never wake up. At first he had thought 'Look at the silver lining. Hiei has to wake up sometime.' But even clouds disappear when night comes, and night had finally fallen on Kurama's optimism.
Those two years had seemed like centuries to him, and they had taken their toll like they were. He barely got any sleep anymore, and couldn't keep up in school. He rarely ever smiled, and hardly talked to anyone. His mother, classmates, and teachers were worried about him, he knew, but he scarcely paid them any attention anymore. It was like he was in a living dream, a dream where everyone around him was fuzzy and unintelligible, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't bring them into focus.
Even the rest of the team was concerned. Although he still fought with them, his heart wasn't in it anymore, and the rose that produced his precious Rose Whip was dieing.
"Kurama!" He was snapped out of his daze by the blue haired Ferry Girl. "What the hell are you doing?!"
He blinked. He had never heard Botan talk like that before. She looked shocked and scared out of her wits.
Kurama looked around at his surroundings. He had walked past the park and the forest without even noticing it. He was standing at the edge of the cliff that came to a peak right at the border of the forest. Standing with one foot outstretched over the canyon below him. ________________________________________________________________________
Botan was flying over the forest, looking for Kurama. She was worried about him. She had never . . . well, no one had ever seen him like that. And why had he given up on Hiei so suddenly? He had stubbornly kept to the belief that Hiei would, someday, awaken. Of, course, that kind of hope had left her long ago.
Ahhh! Hiei! That stupid, idiotic, stubborn, ungrateful, conceited . . . A tear slid down her face. Shocked, she hastily wiped it away.
Oh! There was Kurama. She swooped down and gasped as she saw what he was doing. He had one foot extended over a cliff, and was about to walk over it.
"Kurama!" she yelled. "What the hell are you doing?!"
He blinked and looked around before his eyes widened and he lurched backwards.
"I-I-I was thinking." "Really? Well, the next time you think, WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING!!"
"Calm down, Botan, it was an honest mistake!" Kurama tried to reason with her.
"An honest mistake that almost got you KILLED!!" she screamed back at him.
"Yes, well . . . I promise I'll be more careful." She glared at him. "I promise. Now, do you need something?"
"Hmm? What?" Seeing Kurama about to walk into a chasm had made her forget why she needed to see him in the first place. "Oh yes! Koenma had some other things that he wanted me to tell you."
"Alright I'll be there in a minute." He turned around and started to walk away.
"Oh no you don't, I don't trust you walking anymore. You're coming with me." Botan spiraled down to come to eye level with Kurama.
He sighed. "Botan, I'm perfectly capable-"
"No you're not. Not anymore. I'm not chancing you walking off any cliffs, especially into a volcano or bottomless pit."
"Botan, there aren't any volcanoes or bottomless pits-"
"That's it, no more arguing." She grabbed him and hoisted him up beside her on her oar. "Hang on!"
"Botan!"

Kuwabara paced the main entrance hall of Genkai's temple. He had finished his soda and was wondering whether or not to get another one when he heard a crash from Hiei's room. It looked like Yusuke had gotten angry.
And why shouldn't he? It was all the shrimp's fault anyway. Hadn't told anyone where he was going, too stubborn to ask for help. What had he been doing that he couldn't tell them, anyway?
Couldn't, or wouldn't?
And if he wouldn't, why not? They always watched each others backs. That was what being a team was all about. Hiei knew that, didn't he?
Even if he didn't, he still should have told them. Stupid shrimp. Stupid whoever had hurt the shrimp. Stupid life. It had shocked all of them. Whoever heard of Hiei getting hurt that bad? It was . . . weird. All this time, they had counted on him, without question, to hold his place in a fight. And he had. He won at all costs. But now, here he was, lying on a bed in a coma. It had scared them.
The door opened behind him, and he turned around. "Oh, hey guys." Kurama and Botan walked back into the Temple.
The door to the room Hiei was in opened and Yusuke stuck his head out. "Oh, good, you're back." ________________________________________________________________________
Ruby: Uh . . . Skye's not here right now. She had to go put Crush and Bob back in the lake where Rosey found them.
So . . .
