WOW!!! That is all that I need to say. Also there is a huge plot twister and... sad to say, yes yes, very said to say, this is the last chapter. I hope you guys enjoyed and tell me if you like the end and the twister.
Kurama laid back tossing and turning. The feeling of being dirty hadn't gone away, and being naked on top of it all didn't help. The fire had gone out but it was now only beginning to turn night. The moon had rose over the clouds and the stars were shinning bright, but none of that matter to Kurama. It may have only been less that one-day but all Kurama wanted now was his freedom. And as far as he knew this place was covered with demon incantation stopping him from using his spirit energy or getting out.
Yusuke peered around the corner of a large stone watching the entrance. No one had come in or out since they came but a small light at the entrance had slowly died down. Hiei was getting restless and becoming unbearable while Kuwabara and Yusuke tried to come up with a plan on Kurama out.
"Kurama couldn't beat him in demon form! How do you expect to?" Kuwabara pointed out in a whisper.
"I beat Toguro didn't I?" Yusuke pointed out in return. "And he was stronger than Karasu."
"Uerameshi, think about it first."
"I have, but I know I have to get Kurama out of there. Who knows what's happening to him."
Hiei growled under his breath staring at his arm. The dragon would do the trick, and now that Hiei had fully mastered the technique it would work perfectly. On the other hand it would consume Hiei if he was too weak to control it or allowed other things to occupy his mind. "Look, the two of you are going to get Kurama out. I am going to be the diversion."
Yusuke and Kuwabara turned around, stunned at their silent partner. "And how do you plan on doing that?" Yusuke asked.
"That is none of you concern just do as I say."
"Alright bubb but you better have a decent plan. I'm not in the mood to die tonight and Keiko would kill me in the after life if I did."
"Wait here. When you have an open shot run for the door and get Kurama out." Hiei glanced at his comrades who just nodded in agreement. He swallowed hard hiding his fear as he jumped over the rock and out into the open, waiting for Karasu. "Hey demon, show yourself!"
Kurama jolted his head upward having heard his lover's voice. Hiei was here to help him. But why would he come after all that happened? Why would he help Kurama when Kurama meant nothing to him? But in the long run Kurama didn't care. Once he was out of this hell he would take over and finish Karasu off. He just needed to be able to reach his spirit energy that he wasn't able to do in this place. He needed to get out side.
His door slammed open and Karasu ran in. "Looks like your supposed lover has come to free you and he brought along the posy." Karasu chuckled. "Ironic how the man that condemned you is the man about to save you."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"You shall find out soon enough Fox, very soon." With those words he had jumped forward and through window crashing through the glass.
Kurama ran forward and peered out the window. There Hiei stood in all his beauty confronting a being far more powerful than himself unless as a dragon. But Kurama doubted Hiei would go to such an extreme. Kurama smiled grabbing a bed sheet and wrapped it around himself and walked out the door and up the stairs.
Kuwabara fell backward with the gust of power. "Holy shit Uerameshi! Karasu's spirit energy is off the charts."
"Oh great. I hope pyro boy there can handle it. Come on Kuwabara." Yusuke jumped up and ran behind the demon that was now confronting Hiei. His hair was blowing fiercely in the wind, but for the first time he was with out his mask.
"You reek of Kurama."
"I should hope so. I was able to make him scream like a little girl. I bet you were never able to accomplish that."
Hiei smiled. "But I will always having something you will never get."
"And what might that be? I am the one who broke him, and manipulated you to give him to me to break."
"You didn't manipulate me, we manipulated you." Hiei laughed in sheer delight. "Please, did you honestly think it would actually be that easy for you to take Kurama like you did? Don't think for a second that you out smarted us."
Karasu stepped back, fear and confusion was written all over his face. "What are you talking about!"
Suddenly Kurama's laughter sounded through the cemetery. Yusuke and Kuwabara fell backwards in shock. "We knew you were still alive Karasu and we knew you had escaped into our world. We need to get you in a position where you were over confident in yourself and your abilities because maybe one on one we could not beat you but together we could."
Karasu turned around quickly in pure shock as planets began to grow around him and vines began to grow upward wrapping around Karasu's body restraining him. "Then why this whole act, why not just come at me all together!"
"As Kurama explained we knew that you would get over confident once you felt like you had obtained your obsession, being Kurama."
"And we knew about your abilities with telepathy and mind reading and because we didnt know how strong you had gotten we cleared our minds and concentrated only on playing out our parts. That's why we didn't tell Yusuke or Kuwabara about this either. But we also knew you would have spies watching so we had to really act out the whole scenario so you would believe that everything was really happening as you wanted them to."
"We didn't want any screw ups." Hiei said sternly glaring at mainly Kuwabara. "We needed to get you as soon as we could. However I wasn't expecting you to act on Kurama so quickly so our plan changed a bit. I am sorry we were late Kurama."
Kurama nodded calmly but he knew this was all part of the plan, this was all part of the capture but having been the one forced into the situation and the one really being raped it left a small scar on Kurama. He still felt tainted and he knew it wasn't going to go away.
"Wait, even the whole suicide thing was a set up?" Kuwabara asked stupidishly.
"Yes Kuwabara. I am sorry we scared you two, but it needed to be done to make it realistic." Kurama looked up into the sky. "Botan you have we prisoner!"
"Great work the both of you. And even though you two had no idea what was going on you guys played your parts well!" Botan said from the bushes.
"Wait you were in on this too!" Yusuke yelled tightening his fists.
"Well yes, Hiei forced me to promise not to tell you because he didn't want Kuwabara to mess things up." Botan giggled nervously trying to calm Yusuke down. "I was sent to tell you guys about Karasu and Kurama so that you two would end up here without knowing."
Karasu let out a deep breath. "You all think you have it planned out so carefully. But remember Kurama you cannot get out of that house because it has been permanently made to seal you in."
"That too was played." Kurama replied stepping out of the house. "The magic user you hired to do that spell was actually a good friend of mine. He was able to make it so you cannot use your spirit energy while in the building or in the area surrounding."
"Have fun trying to escape." Hiei said with a snicker.
Kurama walked over holding the blanket close to his body. "I had to pay the same price while in the house, because he had to make it strong enough, but as soon as I stepped out into the open I was free of the bindness. Remember my power is plants, which Earth has, in large supply."
Karasu laughed. "Good game. But I have one last move."
"Oh no you don't." Botan yelled grabbing a hold of her broomstick. She briskly walked over to Karasu. "You have a nice spot in jail back in spirit world. And don't think about trying to escape!" Botan tied Karasu to the end of her broom. Kurama's plants derooted themselves from the ground becoming like ropes keeping Karasu from moving while the magic imbedded into the plants kept Karasu from using his powers while on his way to spirit jail.
Yusuke sighed and walked off in a huff followed closely by Kuwabara. Hiei stood a moment before taking off his cloak and handing it over. "Here, take it. You look like you're cold."
Kurama took it with a smile. "Thank you Hiei." Kurama hugged it around his body and sucked in the warmth. "Hiei?"
"Hn." He answered.
Kurama shot a look downward. "Did you really mean what you said? How I was nothing more to you than just a person you can use to release stress?"
"What more would you be to me Fox?"
"Forget it Hiei." Kurama began to walk away. He now knew why it was so easy for him to play hurt and sad. Hiei really did mean what he said. And Kurama was able to take that feeling and put it forward towards this. On the other hand the only thing that got Kurama through all the torture was the simple belief that Hiei never meant a word of it. But at this moment he learned Hiei really did mean it. Kurama meant nothing more.
Kurama didn't know what was worse. Not being loved by the one person he loved most in his life, or being tortured by a man who loves him but he could never love. It was as people say a doubt edged sword.
Kurama laid back tossing and turning. The feeling of being dirty hadn't gone away, and being naked on top of it all didn't help. The fire had gone out but it was now only beginning to turn night. The moon had rose over the clouds and the stars were shinning bright, but none of that matter to Kurama. It may have only been less that one-day but all Kurama wanted now was his freedom.
