yo....I failed a chemistry test thinking of how to write this next chapter, but don't tell my folks!

Kuwabara woke around four in the morning a certain urge taking over. "Bathroom..." He murmured tiredly crawling blindly in the tent. He looked at his leg which had fallen asleep, and he realized why. "Has that fatty been sleeping on me all night?" Kuwabara groggily murmured looking at Yusuke, through half open eye lids.
Managing to crawl out of the tent he made his way to the trees, and sighed with relaxation as he released a yellow stream. When done he stumbled looking for a river they were near by...even in the woods he knew better than to not wash his hands.
When he came back, he was filling a little more awake, and stopped dead in his tracks as he finally realized who was there. "Bane." he breathed. The blue devil with the face of an angel looked at him smiling sweetly. "Its okay Kuwabara...You have an hour before dawn. Your safe." Bane smiled cocking his head, "Would you like to flee?"
Kuwabara stood stark still and whispered, "You can't touch my friends...Promise me...You'll do what you did to Lee, and keep them in a shield so they don't get hurt." Bane approached him, wrapping his arms around him, holding Kuwabara to him as if they were lovers. "Oh Kuwabara, I can't do that...Your not the only one I'm after."
Kuwabara felt as if he couldn't breathe, and Bane released him. Kuwabara dropped like a stone to the ground, arms held behind him, "What did you do?" He whispered unable to get his voice any louder than that. "A simple trick, by freezing you spirit energy with my own....a "spell" you might say."
Bane sat by him smiling, and playing with Kuwabara's orange curls, which he had neglected to gel for the last few days. Kuwabara glared at him, chest aching from each gulp of air he grasped for, "Who are you after...don't hurt them...I beg you." Bane laughed, "You beg me?! Oh my! You beg me!!" Bane laughed entertained by Kuwabara's plea.
"I am after the one you care for most out of your little group. Someone you've known since junior High if I'm correct..." Kuwabara's eyes widened, and if it wasn't for the strange spell on him he would have screamed, but had to settle with a raspy whisper, "Urameshi...no!"
Bane nodded, "He's half demon...but he is also half human...I will not kill him...but I will torture him...I'll take his eyes, and his legs, and his tounge. He'll never fight again...but I promise I won't kill him." Kuwabara felt tears prickle in his eyes, "That's a fate worse than death I won't let you...I'll kill you if you try!"
Bane wasn't listening, "It's a nice night....bad for you...I happen to live in a valley just west of here...all covered in snow...it's beautiful..." Bane went silent, "Would you like me to take you to see it...Something so beautiful before you die..." He looked down at Kuwabara, eyes gentle and soft, "I took Lee to a garden in a park, with a big fountain...she did not smile, but I knew she loved it...her eyes sparkled so..." He smiled again, closing his eyes, "Would you like to see it?"
Kuwabara went quiet, "Is there snow on your roof top?" Bane had not expected Kuwabara to answer, but he nodded. "There's a moon tomorrow night...Take me to the roof, let me sit there and look at the moon..." Bane stayed silent, "Your ready to die." Kuwabara looked at him, "No I'm not...When you take me to look at the moon, you get a good look to...because that's where you'll die!"
Bane smiled, "I knew something like that had to be coming..." He smiled and leaned over Kuwabara, "You'd like to stab me with your sword wouldn't you Kuwabara?" Kuwabara looked away, Bane laughing. "Go ahead...try...Try your best, I dare you." Kuwabara stayed silent, "You won't...I've made it to where your arms are stuck behind you, the only way to stab me is by killing yourself...and even then you won't know if it will work...and then who will be left to help poor Yusuke..."
Bane rest his head on Kuwabara's chest, "Which eye should I take out first? The left or the right?" Kuwabara growled miserably and the two stayed silent for a long time. "Five minutes till dawn...Your friends will get a very rude awakening..."
Kuwabara said nothing, but he began to remember his life. He was remembering when he was five, and his mother and father had taken them ice skating. The two watched their son fall, but they helped him eagerly up each time. Kuwabara's thoughts drifted to that lonely October day.
He was almost six then, and he clung to his older sister's hand, as the rain pelted them. He cried as he looked at their graves, the two were all alone in that rain. Only a preacher stood over them watching the children sob for their parents. The preacher was young, and new, so instead of doing what he was supposed to do, by leaving after blessing the dead souls, he stayed and took the small boy by his hand.
"Listen to me young one, and listen good...stay as you are. Be noble, brave, and true, be a good boy. Be a samurai for your parents, be a holy warrior for them, so that they can shine with pride in heaven." Kuwabara listened eagerly to that man who reminded him so much of his father. "Never hit girls, and fight for what's right...you must be strong now, you must be a man."
Kuwabara never saw him again after that day.
His mind drifted again to his days without his parents. Shizuru getting a job, and having to sell their house, and getting an apartment. Kuwabara getting in an accident, which all but ripped his face off. Meeting his gang for the first time, and getting Ekiji as a present from his sister. Then meeting Yusuke for the first time.
There were lots of thoughts of him.
Their first fight. When Yusuke started remembering him, and expecting to show up. The day Yusuke died....and the day he found out he would be coming back. The day he came back, and saved Ekiji. Genkai's tournament where they has competed and Kuwabara was determined the whole time to defeat everyone to fight Yusuke at the end...that didn't happen thanks to Rando. The St. Beasts at Maze Castle, Kuwabara could still hear Yusuke screaming about how he couldn't die yet. Rescuing Yukina, and meeting Toguro the first time. Then the dark Tournament, fighting side by side, for one another...Yusuke bleeding on the dirt floor, and Toguro pointing at Kuwabara telling him he would die so that Yusuke could fight better. Kuwabara even remembered the tears, and sad words Yusuke had done for Kuwabara. Then with Sensui...and Yusuke was killed again, and his half demon blood revealed....Then Yusuke left for the demon tournament where Kuwabara could not goto...but before he knew it they were all back together again.
Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama.....and then he completed the circle. The little ring of friends. And now he was to sit here, and let his best friend die, and the others watch as he too, was tortured and killed before their eyes?!
"No..." Bane looked down, dawn approaching behind him. Kuwabara closed his eyes and broke the "spell" Bane had set on him, the only way he could.
He shot the spirit sword.
He shot it through his back, and out his chest into Bane's back. Bane cried out along with Kuwabara as the sword pierced his body. Orange light lit up the valley, and the three sleeping in the tents woke with the start.
"What in seven Hells is that?!" Hiei growled, starring at the light shining through the closed tent door.
"It's Kuwabara!" Kurama gasped leading the group out of the tent.
Yusuke pushed past Kurama and Hiei to stand in front of them and starred in horror at the scene in front of him. Surprise, horror, and shock did cartwheels across his face, and his legs trembled, feeling as if they would fold and collapse under him.
The light was fading, Kuwabara's sword going with it. Bane had leapt up but spat at Kuwabara for his injured arm. He cursed angrilly at the human, for he was greatly injured. Bane knew if he had not gotten up when he did, his arm would have been fried off.
But it was Kuwabara that was the focus point.
Kuwabara's limbs were free of their bondage and Kuwabara's voice now rang loud with a scream. His back was arched and, the group saw the fading energy leave his hands, which were still behind his back. Blood flew into the sky, hanging in the air before landing back on the ground. By some miracle, the blood splashed everywhere, but on Kuwabara, only a few specks dared to flick on him. He stayed frozen, arched back and all, on that spot until he let out a strange gasp and collapsed, arms flopping out to his sides.
He fell, hearing a song play in his head...such a soft pretty melody. He heard a choir of children singing in a church, praising their God, voices gently reaching for the heavens. He heard his loud breathing in his ears, not realizing that they weren't loud at all to anyone else, but him. He turned his head as he lay still, blood trickling slowly under him. His dying eyes found his friends and he looked at them, blood rushing out his mouth.
Yusuke screamed a scream with no words, a scream of agony, hate, and most of all pain. Kuwabara's eyes had turned black, his skin white as marble stone, and the blood dripped down his lips in a large red stream, spilling in with the red pond that was filling under Kuwabara from his self inflicted wound. The self inflicted wound that he had given himself to save his friends.
Dawn had risen.

Kuwabara is dead....things are not always as they seem.
