A/N: As before I don't own Yu-Yu Hakusho. The next chapters will probably contain a lot of lemon, as I said earlier, I've never done this before; wish me luck! The rating will start to go up as of next chapter.
Chapter Three
Death's Presumption
Hell itself could not feel or look so evil, so hating. The creature stood up into the dust that was created from the explosion. The stench of pure hatred came from him. He turned to face Hiei and myself. He seemed to only want to create pain and destruction. He began to walk toward me. The dust settled around his malicious corpse, the long black hair, the dark, unruly clothing, it could only belong to one type of evil, Karasu.
I was stunned; I couldn't hear anything. I saw Hiei quickly turn around, and in no time at all Yusuke and Kuwabara had me by the arms and had lifted me up and began to carry me toward the back of the arcade room. Karasu began to run towards us, I didn't know what he wanted-
---------Flashback From Chapter One---------
"He's escaped; so we'll have to protect him," Yusuke had said earlier that day.
"How can someone just escape the River Styx? That kind of stuff just doesn't happen," Kuwabara asked Yusuke.
"I don't know, wait, there he is."
----------------End of Flashback----------------
I began to put it together; I didn't have enough time to think as Yusuke and Kuwabara through me over the counter for my own safety. I was able to conclude this much before I hit the ground; Koenma or Botan must have told them that Karasu had somehow escaped the River Styx, and he was after me...for revenge!
I then hit the ground; it didn't hurt to bad, because I needed to help my friends, especially Hiei, now that I know why he's been acting different around me, he can get himself killed with how he's thinking.
I stood up only to be pushed back down by Keiko and Yukina. They soon jumped the counter and kneeled next to me. They tried to explain something to me but because of the explosion, I couldn't hear a word they said. I told them that, how loud I was, I don't know, but I tried to whisper.
Yukina lifted her head over the counter to see what was happening; she then said something in which I couldn't understand. Keiko and Yukina, just realizing that, grabbed at my head and forced me down as quickly as they could. Something happened; my guess is that Karasu created an explosion right over our heads; and things from above and behind us began to shoot everywhere.
---------Hiei's Point of View---------
Karasu was slowly beating us down. Kuwabara was already out cold and Yusuke was badly injured, but I couldn't give up, I had to save Kurama. I ran towards Karasu. I was hoping to distract him enough for the girls and Kurama to get out behind that counter, but I was too late.
Karasu through what seemed to be a small glowing orb at the counter. The explosion was tremendous, wood shattered; little 'prizes' flew everywhere in pieces, but I had no sight of Kurama. He's...dead, I thought. I turned on Karasu, who was laughing his head off.
"You killed him...YOU KILLED HIM, you BASTARD!!" I screamed. I felt so much pain, so much longing. I now know what it would feel like to lose the only being that I cared about, the only reason for my existence...
In the time that I had paused long enough to consider my lose, Karasu lifted his hand at me and blasted me back into the wall. I passed out.
When I woke into semi-consciousness, it seemed to have been only a few minutes since I had passed out. The rubble had been searched through, and then, I saw him...
Karasu was standing in the debris, holding something red...Kurama, I thought, no, he can't take Kurama. I tried to move, but the pain was too great. In my last moments of consciousness I saw my life be taken away from me, the only thing that deserved caring about, and I don't even know if he felt the same way about me....
