A/N: This is the farthest I've ever gone with a story, you should all be proud! This will be in the POV of Hiei, since Kurama is still indisposed, sorry for the Kurama fans. O, sorry if I didn't get Karasu down in my earlier chapters, or in any ones soon to come, you see, I missed that episode. Basically, I'm just B-sing all of this on Karasu, sorry. O, I don't own Yu-Yu Hakusho, because if I did, I wouldn't be writing stories about my own manga, I would just make them happen! Be afraid be very afraid.
Chapter Nine
The Beast's Heart
I reached the hole that led to the next floor. I could tell from the size of the prison, that this was the second to last floor; I was in luck. I pushed myself up onto the cold cobblestone. I stood up and looked around, this hallway was different from all of the others. This room contained no spider webs, but it was dark and gloomy.
I walked down the hallway, my hand dashed to my sword at any sound, even my own footprints that seemed to echo on the stones. I had the disturbing feeling that I was being watched by someone I wasn't wishing to meet.
I passed a new hallway, one that was darker than the first. I turned to greet it, and walked into it. Something caught my eye; it was in an iron cell... it was a dagger that still held warm blood. I could sense who was the owner of the blood... it was Kurama's. That was how he became so badly injured, but by whom?
My question was answered far sooner than I thought it would be. From behind me I heard snickering, "You already know who harmed him." The voice was all too familiar.
"Karasu," I sneered, no matter how I could have said it, it would have still sounded just as evil.
"I will only stall you, since she wishes to meet you, and tell you something about his condition. But if you cannot even harm me, then," Karasu shrugged his shoulders sadistically, "you would have no reason to meet my lady."
"Your... lady?"
"She is the one who brought me back to this world, so I am required to do her bidding. If she wished it, she could through me back into that Hellhole, and she wishes us to fight."
"I will not follow that Bitch's whim!"
"Then you will die where you stand!" Karasu screamed. He began to focus into his hand one of his bombs's to throw at me; I couldn't die here!
I drew my sword and charged while he was distracted. My sword cuts were quick and precise, yet, not even one grazed him. He had some how become much stronger after the Dark Tournament.
The fight didn't last two minutes before I had been knocked down by one of his blasts. I was in some pain, but not much. Karasu began to focus again in his hand for another bomb. But something happened before he could do any harm with the bomb. Something was emitting from his chest; it was a... hand. That hand was holding something that it dropped to the floor.
I looked back at Karasu expecting some explanation from him. Only one word escaped his mouth, "Why, my lady, why?!"
I looked back at the floor to the item that had been dropped, it was... Karasu's heart, it was still beating slowly outside of his chest. The heart then shriveled and transformed into some type of insects, 'maggots' I thought to myself.
"He disobeyed me, no one disobeys me!" A women's voice said above me. "Ah, dear Hiei, come to the top floor if you wish to redeem your friend, your love..."
A/N: What did you think? The next chapter's going to be called An Undying Servant.
