Chapter eleven- WE ARE NOT EVIL!
Hiei's POV
I was walking through the hallways. Kurama was with me. Well, not really with me, but I knew he was there. I was going to meet up with Harry, Hermione and Ron for some type of 'fun' game. I sighed when I thought about it. 'Why do that want to play with me?' I thought to myself. I got bored after a few minutes and finally turned to Kurama, who happened to be somehow on the ceiling.
"Hey, Kurama," I said. Kurama jumped down from the ceiling and landed in front of me.
"How long did you know I was here?" Kurama asked me. I sighed.
"Ever since I first left the Gryffindor Common room," I answered. Kurama nodded and we took off to meet up with Harry, Hermione and Ron. They had told me to go to the South tower, all the way to the top. I had no idea why there, but I was going to do it. I turned to Kurama. 'I guess Kurama is coming as well,' I thought. I frowned and turned to face forward again. There was another fork in the path. Sighing, I used my Jagan to try and find Harry's head. It was easy to find and I read his mind and found out where to go. But something disturbed me more than anything. He was fearful for my life.
"Kurama. Why would someone be fearful for another's life?" I asked the red head next to me. I felt Kurama's gaze switch down to me.
"Why do you ask that?" Kurama asked. I sighed and thought about Harry again.
"Harry is fearful for mine. When I was trying to read his mind to find out which path to take, I read his fear for my life. I was wondering if you knew any reason why that would be," I said as I turned to face Kurama. We stopped and stood alone in the hallway.
"That is strange. Normally that would happen if they were involved in a plan that they did not agree with. For example, if I was in a plan to say kill Yukina, not that I would! And Yukina read my mind, she would see my fear for her life. Does that help?" Kurama inquired. I sighed and turned to the hallway we were suppose to be going down.
"SO, Harry might be involved in a plan to kill me?" I asked as I turned back to Kurama. Kurama nodded and turned to the hallway as well. I suddenly smiled. "I love to see them try and kill me!"
I took off down the hallway in my super speed and headed up the stair way. Up and up the stairs I went. 'Kuso. This is longer than Genkai's stair way.' I thought as I began to slow my pace. After stopping for a rest I looked up. More stairs were laid out in front of me. I growled and began to walk up the stairs again. That was about the time I heard something moving ahead of me, and it was getting closer. I raised one of my eyebrows and looked up. It took a few seconds but finally the thing appeared. It was a big boulder. My eyes opened in surprise. Quickly I turned and rushed back down the stair way. Half way down I spotted Kurama.
"RUN!" I cried to Kurama. Kurama looked up and spotted me. Then he spotted the boulder. His eyes opened wide in fear and he turned quickly to rush down the stairs. The two of us ran as fast as we could down the stairs and through the bottom hallway. Finally we hit a fork where Kurama and I went one way and the boulder went another.
"Man, that was close," Kurama said while trying to catch his breath. I nodded in agreement and soon turned to Kurama.
"You ok?" I asked him. Kurama nodded yes and I sighed. "WHy would Harry, Hermione and Ron do that to us?"
"I have no idea. But this calls for war," Kurama said with anger rising in his voice. I watched as sliver highlights began to appear in his red mane. I gasped lightly when Kurama looked up to show his golden eyes. I shook my head no and slowly began to walk away. But Kurama had calmed down. "Sorry. Youko was pissed off and needed to vent for a second."
I nodded slightly and sighed. Tension flew from my body and filled the air around us as a nosie began to appear. I looked up, past Kurama and spotted the boulder. It was waiting at the end of the hallway we stood in. It seemed to be waiting for us to register its presence. I felt half of my lip curl up slightly in a half smile and fall back again. Silently I turned one eye to Kurama and began to nudge him. He looked up to me and cocked his head to one side.
"Nani?" Kurama asked. I pointed behind him and he turned. Quickly he turned back around to show that all color had drained from his face. After a few seconds he turned up to me. "What can you expect from wizards?" He said with a small laugh. I smiled slightly and in a matter of seconds we were half way down the hallway. The boulder was on our heels. Running faster and faster I began to try and call upon help. But for some reson my Jagan wouldn't listen.
"Kurama?" I asked.
"Hai?" Kurama called back.
"Do you know of a spell that could block a Jagan from using its power?" I asked. I turned to watch Kurama. He was looking up in thought. Once he was done, he turned to me.
"Yeah. But I have no idea how anyone could have gotten that information," Kurama answered. I sighed. 'Great. Now I can't call for help. How are we going to get out of this mess?' I asked myself. No answer came and I grew fearful. Slowly I closed my eyes. Knowing of one way to stop the boulder. 'It wants me. Not Kurama...' I thought tearfully. I knew what I had to do. But I felt bad for Kurama. 'Well, it is better than him dying along with me!' I thought. Quickly I turend to Kurama.
"Kurama, swear to me that whatever happens, that you would go on," I called to Kurama. Kurama turned to me confused and then understood.
"Hiei YOU CAN'T!" Kurama screamed.
"Kurama! Listen, I have to. Now will you swear to me that you would run on and not look back till you know that you are safe?" I snapped back. Kurama's eyes filled with tears. He knew what I had to do, as well as I. But would he let me do it was the real question. Finally Kurama nodded yes. I sighed and turned to the boulder. It would take a minute for it to hit me. I turned back to Kurama. "Get going!" I snapped. Kurama nodded and began to run harder as I stopped. Quickly I turned and faced the boulder. It continued to come closer. I sighed. It was going to hit soon.
"HIEI NO!" Kurama called behind me. But it was to late. I stayed . The boulder creeping closer and closer. Time itself seemed to slow as the boulder came. My breath slowed and I heard Kurama's footsteps moving toward me. I went to close my eyes when I felt something wet roll down my face. I let it fall. My time had come...

Well, this chapter is done.
Hiei: NO WAY! I need to know what happened to me!
Kurama: YEAH! WHAT HAPPENED TO HIEI?
KH: I can't reveal that.
Yara: Continue or I will be forced to go and kill myself again so you can't put me back in the story!
Everyone reading this: NO! YARA MUST LIVE!
Yara: You all care for me?
Everyone: YES!
Yara: OH GOODIE!
KH: Ok then. Here is the next part.

Ron's POV
"I can't believe we are doing this," Harry said. I nodded and turned to Hermione. Tears rolled down her face.
"WE ARE GOING TO KILL THEM!" Hermione cried. I nodded and walked over to her. Silently she fell into my arms and cried into my chest. Lupin and Sirius were making us stand here in the South tower waiting for Hiei to come. But he was never suppose to show. And if he did, we were to use the Avada Kedavra curse. Really, none of us wanted to kill Hiei. But Lupin had threatened to kill us if we didn't.
"We should have said no," Harry said. I sighed as I began to strok Hermione's hair.
"Harry, we couldn't have. It was either us or him. Personally, I think Hiei can handle himself," I said. Harry turned to me.
"But not after we put the Ichido curse on the South end of Hogwarts. Hiei can't use his Jagan," Harry said. I nodded and sighed as Hermione backed out of my arms.
"I shouldn't have told Lupin about that," Hermione said. New tears filled her eyes as she yet again fell into my chest and began to cry. I frowned and turned to face Harry. Harry was beginning to cry as well. I looked to the ground.
"Something is different about Lupin and Sirius. And I want to find out what. But how?" Harry asked. I shrugged and felt Hermione gasp into my chest.
"VOLDEMORT!" Hermione cried suddenly. I jumped back and watched as she began to fall forward. Quickly I rushed over and held her up.
"What does Voldemort have to do with any of this?" I asked her. She looked up into my eyes. That was when I spotted Harry smiling. "What is so funny Harry?"
"You both said Voldemort," Harry said. I gasped in surprise along with Hermione, but she soon shook it off.
"Remember when we were spying on everyone. That other teenager, who I don't know the name of, said that Kuroune had been possessed by a wizard spell while Yara was controlled by a shadow demon. Vo... You-Know-Who must have been the wizard and now he is controlling Lupin! The shadow demon must be controlling Sirius!" Hermione said. I nodded and turned to Harry.
"Yeah, but how can we help them be uncontrolled?" Harry asked. Hermione shrugged her shoulders.
"I don't know," she said. I sighed with Harry.
"HIEI NO!" I heard. I looked down to the floor. And felt Harry and Hermione do the same.
"Who was that?" I asked. Harry shrugged. We turned to Hermione. She was doing a spell of some sort. After a few more syllables a large glass type thing appeared in the middle of us. It showed Hiei, Kurama and the boulder.
"Kurama!" Harry called out in surprise. I simply gasped and turned to Hermione. She was frowning. After a minute we all shook our heads no.
"He wasn't suppose to be there! Lupin said he wouldn't! LUPIN SAID HE WOULDN'T!" Harry cried as he slamed his fists onto a near by wall. I frowned and watched as tears welded up into Hermione's eyes. I said nothing I turned to the large glass thing. Hiei had stopped right in front of the boulder. Kurama had turned and was running toward the demon but there was no way that Kurama would ever reach Hiei in time. I took in a few sharp breaths and finally turned far away as Kurama's ear splitting yell filled the silent hallways...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
KH: Done. Well, this chapter at least.
Hiei: WHAT HAPPENED TO ME?
Kurama: WHAT HAPPENED TO HIEI?
KH: Not telling! You all have to wait like everyone else! Bye now!
