Imp: Finely.
Nisha: Sorry to my reviewers. I've had a bad case of writers block this last month. Not to mention my computer is a piece of junk.
Imp: You are the queen of excuses.
Nisha: Shut up Imp. You have no place to talk.
Imp: Fine- Nisha does not own Yu Yu Hakusho.
On with the fic.
"Talking"
'Thoughts'Tortured Soul: Ch. 4.
Kurama sat watching the fire. 'How could I let here get taken? If she gets hurt...I'll never forgive my self.' "Kurama." "What?" "We'll find them. Don't worry." Kurama glanced up at his partner. Kuronue was just as worried as he was. "Besides Nisha's probably already beat the hell out of that guy." The bat smiled and Kurama couldn't help but smirk too. Kurama's mind drifted as his eyes returned back to the fire. 'When was the last time I was this worried?'
Flashback
Kurama walked into Nisha's room. The vixen's skin was pale and her breath shallow, as she lay there unconscious. He walked over and sat beside her bed. "Please Nisha wake up soon." Kurama stayed with her for next two days waiting for her to wake up.
Nisha felt as though she was floating. All she could see was black as she lay there in complete silence. She had thought she had heard someone but wasn't sure anymore. All noise had faded together into pure white noise. Leaving here alone and cold inside.
She stayed like this for days. Just floating in silence.
Kita walked past Nisha's open door. Kurama was sitting beside her bed.
'It's been two and a half days.' "Kurama. Maybe you should get some sleep. Nisha should be fine till morning." Kurama looked up at her. "Have any of the men come back yet?" "No I don't think any will. But Kuronue went out looking for them." "Will you have him inform me as soon as he comes back." "Will you still be here when he gets back?" "Yes, I'm not leaving till she wakes." "Very well then." With that Kita walked off.
Kurama's eyes returned to Nisha. "Please Nisha wake up soon."
Nisha once again heard voices in the darkness. 'I know those voices. But from where.' She floated there trying to remember what happened. 'I know I was in the forest but what happened... I was ... was on a heist I remember now. But how did I end up here? Where is here?'
End Flashback
Kurama stared into the fire for sometime afterwards.
When the sun rose both thieves took off hoping to recover the scent that would lead them to the girls.
Nisha sat quietly watching water drip from the ceiling. 'If it weren't for that damn dripping I might go insane from the silence. Like before.
Flashback
'Why don't I remember? Nisha heard a voice once again. Her mind searched to recognize it. 'That's Kurama's voice. But where is it coming from? Once again the voice stopped. 'Maybe I'm hearing things. Maybe I'm just insane. ...But I know I heard him...somewhere.' Nisha stayed quiet begging to here his voice again so she could leave this place.
... It felt like eternity before she herd the voice again, and this time she felt as though she knew where it was coming from. As she got closer to the voice she began to feel a pain on her side. 'Why does it hurt like hell?'
Nisha slowly opened her eyes to come face to face with Kurama. She was about to smile when she felt the stabbing pain once again in her side. When she winced Kurama immediately went to her side.
"Nisha are you all right?" Kurama picked up a bowl of herbs from beside the bed and put them on her wound delicately. Slowly the pain subsided.
"Kurama, how long have I been here?" "Only three days." "It felt like longer." Kurama smiled. 'You have no idea.' "Where are the rest of the men?" "Long gone," Kurama said softly, "Kuronue just reported to me that he couldn't find any of them." "Oh. ... How long have you been sitting there?" "Three days." She smiled at him. "Why?" Kurama stood up slowly thinking about it. "Just because." "... Just because! What kind of answer is that?" Kurama only smirked. "You should get some rest. That wound still needs to heal." Nisha groaned at the statement. He only smirked. He bent over and kissed her on the forehead before leaving. "I mean it, Nisha." He called as he walked out the door.
Nisha sat there stunned and a light blush crossed her face. 'Just because... yeah right.' She smiled as she closed her eyes to rest.
End Flashback
A smile crossed her face as she sat there in the dungeon. 'That was only a month ago... and now he acts like nothing happened.' She sighed as she heard footsteps come up to her door.
Karasu walked into the dungeon Nisha was sitting in.
"Maybe you'd like to be more corporative now."
"Or maybe I wouldn't." Karasu smirked at this. "If that's the way you want it." He walked over and picked Nisha up by the throat. " Now if you would be so kind as to tell me were the Necklace of Hecate is I could end your suffering." "I don't know so let me go." "Fine" he growled as he threw her back into the ground. Nisha softly slipped the pouch from her side to her back as Karasu turned away. She watched him walk away but before he left, she felt energy by her and then a bomb blow up knocking her unconscious. He smirked and walked away.
Karasu walked slowly into the room Kita was in. "I'll only ask you once... where is the Necklace of Hecate?" "How the hell should I know?! I'm not even a thief." Karasu growled and backhanded Kita knocking her into the wall. Kita slumped to the floor passed out.
TBC
Nisha: Yet another chapter done and almost to the end. If you have any ideas I would love to hear them. And if you have any flames they will be used to burn my report card and cook dinner.
Imp: Is it dinnertime yet.
Nisha: No Imp it isn't. Please Review. Until next time.
