Chapter twenty- Hiei in coma?

Kurama's POV

"Why did the stupid portal have a damn shockwave?" Yara asked from my side. I shrugged as I looked at the unconscious form before me. It has been a week since the portal incident and Hiei was still out cold. He had fallen out a window when the shockwave hit everyone. No one expected it to happen.

"Who knows why thing have or do what they have or do," called Dumbledore. He had been waiting with us as well. None of us had left his side. Even Kuroune had stayed. No one expected that.

"I am surprised no one else fell out as well... But then again, Hiei was the shortest and lightest person in the school," Kuroune muttered. I sighed as I watched Hiei's chest rise and fall. It was still alive, to say the least. Koenma had visited us a few days ago saying that he was keeping a watch on Hiei's mind to see what fake world he comes up with. So far, no news had been heard.

"I can't believe his mind is still blank after all this time," I muttered as I watched Hiei's placed face. The jaganshi had landed on a rock outside. His head had a huge gash in the back. Everyone expected him to die on the first night, including Madam Pomfrey. No one expected a week.

"Kurama!" called a voice. I spun quickly and spotted Botan.

"Thank god! What world has Hiei created?" Yara asked as she spotted Botan. The deity stayed silent.

"Botan?" I asked. Tears welled in Botan's eyes. I watched as she suddenly began to cry. Jumping to my feet, I walked over and pulled her down into a hug.

"Oh Kurama! His mind believes that Karasu came threw! He is fighting Karasu in his mind!" Botan cried as she burred her face into my chest.

"NO! HE CAN'T BE!" Yara cried as she turned to face her lover. I sighed deeply.

"Yes, he can. He was out long before you came to see him, Yara. He doesn't know who came threw. His mind chose Karasu out of fear. It is in everyone's nature to choose the worst situation," Dumbledore said as his own eyes fell upon the Jaganshi. I frowned deeply and turned to face Hiei myself.

"I hope his word isn't to horrible," Kuroune muttered.

Harry's POV

I sat outside the hospital wing with Hermione and Ron. We were trying to find out about Hiei. The entire school was worried about him. Which happened to be a major surprise seeing as how Hiei was very isolated.

"What are they saying? I can't hear a thing!" Hermione whispered from the door.

"I can't hear with you talking!" Ron snapped. I smiled at the two. Seeing as Ron was only able to steal two extendable ears from his brothers, Hermione was with out one and forced to try and hear threw the

door.

"Botan appeared. She is saying that Hiei's mind has come up with a world where Karasu had come threw the portal instead of Yara. Yara screamed that Hiei couldn't while Dumbledore is saying that it is in everyone's nature to think up the worst of everything over the best of everything," I explained. Hermione gasped.

"What happens if he dies in the fake world he created?" Hermione whispered.

"He dies in the real world," someone muttered. I looked at Ron and Hermione in horror. Neither had said it. We each turned and spotted Snape leaning over us. "If your are going to spy on them, why not just stand in front of them. They already know your at the door."

"But, how do you know?" Ron asked in horror. Snape held out a walkie-talkie. I almost laughed.

"We have been talking. Every teacher has one and will inform each class about what is going on with Hiei. We all know how concerned everyone is," Snape said. We smiled up to the teacher as he opened the door and hauled us inside.

Kurama's POV

I looked up as Snape walked in with Harry, Hermione and Ron. The four seemed a little upset.

"So you did catch them?" Dumbledore said as he looked at the three students. I sighed deeply and looked down to Hiei who suddenly put on an angered face. I almost laughed but stopped when I remembered Yara.

"Yes. It was simple, they never expected it," Snape said as he looked over to Hiei. The jaganshi snarled angrily. This time Yara giggled slightly.

"Seems Hiei doesn't care much for you Snape," Kuroune said as he looked over to Hiei himself. Snape snorted and looked away. I almost laughed at Snape but stopped when I heard a sniff. It was from Hermione. She was so close to tears just by looking at the state Hiei was in.

"How can some one look like that and still live?" Harry asked as he looked at Hiei. I frowned at the boy but said nothing at all. I feared that whatever I would say may be to harsh.

"Being demon helps a hell of a lot in certain aspects of life," Kuroune said as he looked over to Harry. I frowned slightly.

"But have you ever known a demon to fall into coma?" I asked as I looked up. Kuroune shook his head no. "Just as I thought..."

"So what does that mean?" Hermione asked. Her voice was cracking as she tried to hold back the tears.

"Means that this coma in even more unpredictable than when a wizard or muggle laps into coma," said Madam Pomfrey as she checked on one of the monitors surrounding Hiei. "He could die this very second or five thousand years from now..."

In Hiei's mind and POV...

"YOU WHAT!?" Harry screamed at Hermione as she began to put on different types of make up. I was standing just outside the bathroom watching.

"I volunteered for this. Hiei needed someone to go with him. I said ok. And now I have to make it look like he beat me up before bringing me over to Karasu," Hermione said as she applied some red lipstick liner on her check to look as though I cut her. But I frowned.

"It would work better with real blood you know!" I called to Hermione from the door. She nodded.

"Yes, but where are we going to get it? I personally don't want a real cut on my face," Hermione said as she turned to face me. I frowned and quickly used my nail to cut my finger and placed the injured finger on her check and slowly moved it down her face.

"There you go," I growled as I backed away to see my handy work. Hermione smiled and looked back to the mirror to add dirt in her hair and make it look messed up. I had already dirtied up her wardrobe.

"BUT Hermione! You can't! I mean!" Harry cried as he tried to think up different reasons on why Hermione couldn't do the mission. I smiled as he cracked his brain in thought.

"I am going no matter what you say Harry. I have seen way to many deaths in this week alone. I can't handle it any more. Either I die or save everyone! I choose to save everyone before I die!" Hermione growled as she stood and faced me. She looked as though I gave her a really good beating. I smiled.

"I might have to slap you once or twice when we go see Karasu. Don't be angered if I do. Also try not to look me strait in the eyes. That deserves a hard slap across the face and even death according to some demons," I explained to Hermione as we walked out of the bathroom together. Harry followed silently.

"Ok... I'll try!" Hermione said as she began to slow down. I watched as she slowed to Harry's pace. "Listen Harry, I have to do this. It is important to me!"

"Fine... Please don't die on me!" Harry said as he leaned close to her face. I watched as the two put their faces closer and closer together. Next thing I knew was that they where kissing. Yuck! I never want to see that again... I thought as I turned to face the ground.

"I'm ready Hiei!" Hermione called after a minute. I nodded and next thing I knew we where walking out of the portrait.

"Hermione..." I whispered...

Back in the real world Kurama's POV

"Hermione," Hiei whispered. I turned to face him and spotted a small cut on his finger.

"Shit..." I whispered.

"What?" Dumbledore called. I turned to face the headmaster.

"It's Hiei. Whatever injuries he receives in his world, he gets in this world!" I said as I held up Hiei's hand to show the injury.

"That is not good!" Kuroune said. Everyone nodded in agreement. Silently I looked back to Hiei. He was moving his head side to side. Similar to if you where in a night mare. I just prayed that he would awaken soon. Cause if he didn't... Who knows what might happen.

In Hiei's world but In Kurama's POV...

I looked to the ground as Karasu entered the Great Hall for the fifth time that day. He was still fighting off the Forbidden Forest creatures in hopes to get free and enslave all of the human race. I just prayed they wouldn't give up so easily.

"Hello my pet!" Karasu cooed as he sat in front of me. I turned away from the bastard. "Don't be like that hun! You know I own you!"

"Go to hell!" I spat.

"I have hun! And damn glad to be back!" Karasu said with an evil smile as he backed away and spun around on one foot. I growled and watched him with fire burning in my eyes. "Don't be that way Fox! I love you!"

"I would rather die!" I snarled. Karasu leaned over to my face.

"I think not!" Karasu whispered as his lips met mine. I tried to gasp in shock but only got Karasu's tongue shoved into my mouth. Gagging to the best of my ability, I tried to get him out but his tongue was already play with my own and his saliva mixed with mine. His lips played off my own and moved every now and then so that his mouth would have a better fit on my own. Soon his tongue re-entered his own mouth and he moved it down off my mouth, onto my chin and down my neck to the small fang holes he had created days before. His tongue again adventured out and played along the healed over fang holes. BY the time he backed away, I was so sickened that I almost threw up all over him.

"Excuse me... Lord Karasu!?" called a voice. Karasu whipped around and allowed me view to see Karasu's right hand demon named Bill. I growled.

"What is it?" Karasu snapped at Bill. The demon cowered slightly.

"Joe has brought one of the students he had gotten friendly with. It happens to be a female as well!" Bill called as he watched Karasu's angered face soften. I frowned and wondered what this Joe looked like. I had seen and heard mostly all the demon's names but never heard of a Joe.

"Bring them in!" Karasu said as he waved his hand and sat down in his large thrown seat. After a minute Hermione stumbled into the Great Hall. She looked like she was beaten really harsh. I gasped at her cuts and brushes but noticed one cut on her check that hadn't been there ever before. Sniffing the air, I smelt Hiei's blood. Hiei? But didn't he die in the shockwave? I thought as I tried to remember that day. But as I watched the door a blond haired demon with silver eyes stepped into the room. He was wearing some of my clothes to boot.

"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU WEARING MY CLOTHES!" I screamed at the demon. He looked over to me with sympathetic eyes. Hiei? Is that really you? I asked myself as I watched the eyes. They looked almost like Hiei's other than the fact that they where silver.

"Silence pet. Joe has a prisoner!" Karasu said as he watched me. I growled and looked to the floor. "So Joe... How did you get this pretty little morsel?"

"Well, after she lead me to the hideout, she changed the door so that I could enter. Though no other demon can. She allowed me in and let me hear their most secret of secret plans. After which, when I asked to see her in private outside the hideout, I captured her and brought her here. I was hoping that when I go back, I would get some injuries to act as though we got caught in a battle and the other's will never know I was a traitor, and I can slowly bring them to you one by one!" Joe/Hiei responded. I watched as Hermione went to slither away but Joe/Hiei caught her and pulled her by the hair. He pulled her up to his face and whispered something in her ear before dropping her back on the ground. "Don't ever try that again."

"Ah... So you infiltrated their hideout?" Karasu asked. Joe/Hiei nodded yes. I frowned and looked to Hermione who was now facing me. She winked and mouthed Hiei. I nodded slightly and smiled.

"Yes Lord Karasu. It was easy once I got her to believe my story," Hiei called. Karasu smiled.

"And what was your story?" Karasu asked.

"That during the shock wave of the portal I was thrown out a window and had been unconscious ever since. It seems there was another demon here called Hiei. She believes I am this Hiei," Hiei answered. Karasu smiled.

"Show me the body!" Karasu said as he stood. Hiei and Hermione paled. I most likely paled as well but I couldn't tell.

"My Lord! What if I bring the body to you?" Hiei asked in hopes of buying some time. But Karasu shook his head no.

"I want to see the landing sight! Unless you have a problem with that Joe," Karasu smirked. SHIT! He knows! I cried in my head as I tried to mouth it to Hermione so she could tell Hiei But Karasu saw me and next thing I knew my chains where electrifying me. The pain was tremendous. I could just about hear Hiei scream my name, as I passed out.

!#$%&()

All done! So, you like what is going on? I hope so.

Kurama: I am going to kill you!

Tee hee! I found a rope!

Hiei: You did not!

Then why is Kurama all tied up? Anyway, please review!
