A/N: I'm on a roll with this story, I am loving it, and I hope you guys are too. O, this is in the POV of Hiei since Kurama is indisposed at the moment {evil laugh} This is one of my shortest chapters, sorry.
Chapter Eight
Entering the Forbidden
Yusuke and Kuwabara left to help Kurama with his wounds, but I couldn't so easily leave the devil-wench behind, she had to pay! I don't know what she did to Kurama but I'm going to fix it once and for all.
I knew that I was enraged and that all I wanted was to give Kurama the fiend, called Ryokha's head on a silver platter, and that's what I intended to do.
When the two ningen left I slowly walked to the door. The entrance was huge and was made of a rusted material of metal. If I used the door it would make so much noise that this demon would have to know that I had entered. Without another thought I opened the door, its rusty hinges made enough noise to wake the dead.
Even over the sound of the door I could here the moaning and growling frenzy of some type of creature, what it was, I didn't want to know. As I walked forward the ground seemed to shudder in pure terror, in a fear that could not be described. I moved on.
I already knew where Ryokha would be waiting for me, at the top of this demented castle, so that's where I headed. I didn't know just how big this destroyed palace was, but I was soon going to find out.
I drew out my sword and began my lone walk. For the first time in my life, I was fighting for someone; I didn't care what happened to my mangled body as long as she paid for what she did to him.
The hallways were long and bare, the only thing in this place besides me, were the spiders that had woken up as I walked past them. The rooms that I entered shared the same predicament as the hallways, they, too, were bare besides the night creatures that made home there. As I passed each corner I half expected to run into Karasu, but of yet, I hadn't.
As I traveled I noticed a stairway, I quickly but silently ran over to it. Sheathing my sword, I began to walk carefully up it. The floorboards creaked underneath me. A sudden thought raced through my head, 'It won't carry me any longer.' I jumped off of the stairway and on to the bottom step. Before I landed the stairs seemed to disintegrate right where I stood. I had to find another way up. I continued to walk towards the back of the castle.
I had entered a long, lonely hallway at the most southern part of the prison (it mostly resembled a deserted castle than a prison.) when my eyes located the one thing I was looking for, a way up. At some point in time the floor gave way, and now that cave-in was my only way to redeem Kurama.
I began to climb; I had one hand constantly on my sword. My mind began to imagine things that weren't possible, one of which was my sudden destruction at the hands of this Ryokha, another was my destruction at the hands of Karasu. "I can't turn back," I whispered to myself, I had to gather up all of my courage to travel on. I couldn't turn back, not now, not ever. I pressed on...
A/N: Sorry, had to leave it here, the next chapter should be up soon though. I think it's going to be called The Beast's Heart.
