Wow...I never thought I would actually get the motivation to finish this....;; Well I plan on finishing this fic and starting the third one...I am sorry for the EXTREME delay. ;;
DISCLAIMER THINGY- Wow...It has been a year...and I still do not own Yu Yu Hakusho.... YET!!
'Hm...huh? Where am I?" Kutsu sat up, blinking, 'Hiei?!'
She looked around, but only saw a dull gray fog. She blinked a few more times, shaking her head. Slowly the gray fog began lifting revealing a soft grass carpet in the middle of a forest clearing. Kutsu's eyes widen in shock. She was sitting in the middle of the park, she had been staying at in Ningenkai.
'What am I doing here?!'
Suddenly a wicked laugh filled the area. The Fire Queen walked into view with a smirk on her face. She was wearing a red cloak and a black outfit. He red eyes held an evil humor. Kutsu heard a noise and looked across to the opposite side of the clearing where her human self stood looking a little worried and frightened.
'So this is where you chose to die at, hanyou...your precious ningen park...'
The human Kutsu looked around, confused. 'Where am I?'
The Fire Queen spoke agian. 'We are in a mental realm created so that the three minds that share the body known as Kutsu can meet. If one of us dies in here, the soul is destroyed. I have brought you two here to kill you both!'
As the Fire Queen said that she pulled out a sword stabbing the human Kutsu in the throat, killing her almost instantaneously. She wiped the blood off her sword on the edge of her cloak, smirking.
'One down, one to go...'
Sorrow flickered in Kutsu's eyes as she sank to her knees. She had just lost half of herself, her human side, so she would stay a hanyou if she did not die at the hands of the Fire Queen. The look disappeared and was replaced by anger as she glared at the Fire Queen who was advancing with her sword held out, ready. The Fire Queen swung the sword and it came arching down toward Kutsu...
In Makai
Hiei groaned as his eyes fluttered open. He could here no noise, but sensed the others were close by. He sat up, almost gasping in pain. Across his chest was a bandage of the gash inflicted by Warui. He looked around, wincing in pain. He finally saw where everyone was and his eyes went wide in shock. Kutsu was hovering over the ground, engulfed in flames. Hiei slowly got up and walked over to her and the others.
'What the hell happened?!'
Kurama looked at him, shock clear in his green eyes. 'After the Fire Queen defeated Warui, she was coming to kill you when her body became like ths.' He gestured at the still form of Kutsu.
'Hn. I suppose I must save her then...' Hiei growled trying to mask the fear and worry he truly felt. I must get her back...stupid girl, you cannot die now!
'How are you going to save her, Hiei?' Yusuke questioned, glancing at the flames.
'It is obvious, detective...she is obviously fighting the Fire Queen for dominance of the body. I will use my Jagan to enter her mind.'
Hiei sat on the ground and closed his eyes before anyone else could say another word. Suddenly his Jagan began glowing brightly and he ceased movement.
In Kutsu's mind
Kutsu shut her eyes tightly, preparing for the end. Is it all over? Am I really going to die?
She waited, but the hit never came. Kutsu opened her eyes and saw the Fire Queen standing there with her sword sheathed. Kutsu's face became a mask of bewilderment.
'W...Why didn't you kill me?'
'Stupid hanyou...I am going to make the Forbidden Child suffer before he dies...' She glared at Kutsu.
Kutsu's eyes widened for a moment then narrowed. 'You will never kill him! I won't let you!'
The Fire Queen laughed evilly, 'Of course I will...neither of you can compare to my power.'
Suddenly the Fire Queen's eyes widened as she looked down. Out of her stomach protruded a katana tip. She coughed up blood, looking over her shoulder. 'You!'
'Hn. Yes, me...did you think I would let you take Kutsu? She is mine!' Hiei stood there speaking in a dangerous tone. Kutsu almost smiled at what he said, but decided to glare at him.
'I could have taken care of her by myself, Hiei.'
'Be quiet, girl! I decide to use the favor you owe me...I will help you defeat the Fire Queen!'
Kutsu grumbled then nodded her head slowly. 'Fine.' She stood up and drew her sword, walking over to Hiei. Both of them dropped into a fighting stance, facing the Fire Queen who smirked as the hole in her stomach closed up.
'How cute...the little Jaganshi wants to help the hanyou...you are both dead!'
'What the hell?! Why are your injuries gone?!'
'You see, little hanyou. In this realm, you cannot injure me. The only way to defeat me is total death.'
'I will kill you, stupid demon!'
All three vanished and reappered with a flash of light. The Fire Queen was blocking both Hiei and Kutsu's swords with her own.
'Is this all you have? Pathetic.'
Hiei jumped back while Kutsu continued to assualt the Fire Queen, who boredly blocked every blow. Hiei jumped into the fray swinging. The Fire Queen glared at both of her assailants then used her youki to blow them both back.
'You two bore me.' The Fire Queen held out her hand and a fire ball appeared. She closed her eyes and the fireball shot at Hiei who dodged it easily.
'Hn...Is that all you have?' Hiei said with a smirk. His eyes widened and he looked over his shoulder just as the fire ball hit him from behind. He yelled in pain then his eyes closed. 'I couldn't...sense it.' Hiei fell to his knees, smoke rising from his body.
'I blocked your senses, Hiei. My skills with the Jagan far surpass your own. You should remember, I trained my whole life to be better than you.'
Kutsu yelled out, 'I thought you said we couldn't get hurt here?!'
'No, hanyou, you are mistaken, I said I could not get hurt here...both of you can. I am bored with this fight.'
The Fire Queen began advancing on Hiei, who merely winced as he tried to move his body.
'Painful, isn't it? That fire is ten times more deadly then your Dragon, you are lucky to have survived.'
She pulled back her sword, preparing to stab him through the throat. As she attacked, another form dashed in the way, getting the full blow in the center of her chest. The Fire Queen pulled the sword out, bringing a gush of blood from Kutsu's chest. Kutsu merely flinched, glaring at the Fire Queen.
'I told you, you will not hurt Hiei...This is my mind, dead or alive and you don't belong here!'
Kutsu's eyes glowed red as her body was engulfed in orange flames.
'YOU WILL DIE NOW!'
The fire shot from Kutsu's body and hit the Fire Queen, who screamed as her flesh was burned away from her bones. As the fire dissipated, not even a pile ash remained of the former Fire Queen. Kutsu turned towards Hiei, blood flowing freely from here injury.
'Hn...It seems I did not need your help, Hiei.'
Sorrow filled Hiei's eyes as he looked at her.
'What's with the look? I thought you did not need stupid ningen emotions.'
Kutsu grunted then fell forward. Hiei crawled over to her, ignoring his own pain and picked her up. He held her gently in his arms.
'Stupid girl, why did you save me? I came to save you, regardless of losing my own life.'
'My life would be nothing if you were dead...' She laughed slightly then winced, coughing up blood. 'Who would I spar with? The others aren't very fun.'
'You should be quiet. We will go back to Makai and Kurama will help you.'
'Hiei, why did you help me?'
'Kutsu...I could not let anything happen to you.'
Kutsu smiled as she fell unconcious.
'I love you, Kutsu...And I will not let you die,' Hiei whispered.
Kutsu rolled over, stretching and yawning. She snuggled back into the blankets then suddenly sat up, eyes wide with fear.
'Where am I?!'
'Calm down, Kutsu, you are in my room.'
Kutsu looked to the corner, where a very familiar red haired demon sat. He was sitting there, reading a book in the morning light. He placed the book on a table beside him and walked over to her, sitting on the edge of the bed.
'Why am I here? What happened to Hiei? Why am I not dead?'
'Well...'
Kurama began explaining things.
What happened(Kurama P.O.V
We had been sitting around for ten minutes. I sat near Kit with my uninjured arm around her comfortingly. We watched in shock as Hiei's body began to burn. Yusuke ran over, prepared to wake Hiei.
'Yusuke, don't!'
Yusuke looked at me as if I was crazy.
'If you try to awaken him, his mind could become trapped. Hiei and Kutsu know what they are doing, we must trust them.'
As I said this, we all watched in horror as blood began gushing from an injury on Kutsu's chest. Yusuke looked down.
'I hate this! I am tired of sitting around here doing nothing while Kutsu is dying!'
Kutsu's body began pulsing with a firery youki. The fire energy that surrounded her continued to build up until...it disappeared. Kutsu fell to the ground as Hiei woke up and ran over to her.
'Kurama! She needs help!'
We brought her to my house in Ningenkai, where my mother and stepfamily were thankfully away on vacation. After three days it seemed like nothing would bring her out of the critical state she was in.
'...On the fourth day, I walked in here and though your energy was still severly depleted, your injuries were almost gone.'
'What happened?'
'Hm...I think perhaps you should ask Hiei...' Kurama gave Kutsu one of his secretive smiles.
'How could he save me? He knows nothing about healing...'
'Get some sleep...you can talk to Hiei after you have rested some more.'
Kurama glanced out his window where a small, familiar figure flitted away. Kutsu looked out the window as well, sensing the youki fade away in the distance.
'Has he been here the whole time you have been talking, Kurama?'
'Kutsu, Hiei has not left that tree since we have been in Ningenkai.'
Kutsu yawned, settling back into the bed. I will deal with him when I am not so tired... With that, she fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.
Kutsu woke the next morning feeling almost as good as new. She got up and stretched a little before putting on her cloak and sword that Kurama had kindly left at the foot of the bed for her. She crept to the window, opening it. She felt a cool autumn breeze hit her as she stepped on to the ledge. After turning to make sure the window was securely shut, she jumped down and was off, jumping lightly from tree to tree. She searched everywhere for the youki of Hiei. She smiled as she felt it dimly. In a manner of seconds, she was at the park. Hm...so this is where you came? She felt his energy in the center of the forest. She stepped cautiously into a clearing sensing around for him.
'Hn...so you are better? It took you long enough, foolish girl.'
Kutsu smiled, but her smile quickly faded as she saw Hiei's face. He looked angry...at her. As he walked over, Kutsu took a step back, hand going to the hilt of her sword. Hiei came close to her and grabbed her shoulders firmly.
'Hiei! What are you...'
Before Kutsu finished her sentence, Hiei pulled her forward and pressed his lips gently to hers. Kutsu's eyes widened. This couldn't be Hiei...But she knew it was. His grip, his youki, his appearance...it was all Hiei. Kutsu relaxed and Hiei wrapped his arms around her. Kutsu closed her eyes and kissed back passionately. Hiei broke the kiss, face blushing brightly.
'Listen close, girl. I don't trust you to avoid trouble like that again...'
'It's not like I searched for trouble!'
Hiei growled. 'Be quiet and let me finish! There are two things I am going to tell you, because I do not know when you are going to do something stupid like getting a sword through your chest.'
Kutsu fumed as Hiei spoke. She was trying to save him...and he still was not going to thank her.
'First thing...I love you.'
Hiei said this so plainly, Kutsu shook her head to make sure she was not dreaming. She tilted her head, questioningly.
'You do?'
'That's what I said, isn't it?'
Kutsu nodded reluctantly.
'Second...you are mine now.'
Kutsu's mouth dropped.
'I'm what?!'
'You are mine.'
'What do you mean?! Why are you being so possesive? You just told me you love me and now you want to get possesive?!'
Hiei covered her mouth.
'I am not being possesive!' Hiei took Kutsu's hand and led it to a spot on her neck. Kutsu could lightly feel to puncture scars on her neck.
'Are you some kind of vampire?' Kutsu looked shocked.
'No, baka, in order to heal you I transferred energy through your blood, but in order to do that I needed to mark you.'
'What's that supposed to mean?!'
'In basic terms...you are now my mate.'
Kutsu looked astounded at the news she had heard.
'And that means?'
'You are bound to me forever. It was the only way I could think to keep you from dying.'
'Hm...strange...but I guess it is good that I am alive. And it is not as if I have a family to go home to. We love each other, so I guess there is nothing wrong with being your mate.'
Kutsu smiled as she said the last part and withdrew her hand from her neck. This time she pulled Hiei forward, kissing him.
Okay...that fic is done...should I finish off and do a trilogy with more fluff and fun, as well as action. If I get at least 3 reviews saying continue, I will.
By the way, did you enjoy this fic? I am still sorry it took me so long to update. bows down to all the wonderful(patient) readers.
