Chapter 29
"Ahhhgaah!" The scream came again, more labored this time. Kurama raced ahead of Kuwabara and Hiei and opened the sliding door to the inner sanctum of the temple.
"Daiki!" The moment he opened the door a wave of pain hit Kurama. "Ahg." His head started to pound, his heart thumped in his chest and he felt like he couldn't breath.
Daiki was in the middle of the floor in a fetal position. Yusuke and Genkai were jumping around the room fighting off plants that thrashed and grew wildly. The out of control flora were breaking though the tatami floor and pressing against the walls. Kuwabara materialized his spirit sword and sliced one away. Kurama fell to his knees.
"Kurama!" Hiei touched the fox demon's shoulder.
"Look out!" Kuwabara exclaimed, pulling Hiei back.
"Don't touch me!" The fire demon snapped before realizing the strong sharp vines darting from red hair.
Kurama felt...very wrong. Increadiblly strong waves of power. He'd never felt this intensity before. The underlying spiritual energy was so familiar, like his own power over plants and yet... //What's going on?// The waves some how triggered the seeds in his hair to grow wildly. Kurama had to exert a good deal of willpower to force the plants back into their seeds.
"Kurama." He heard Yukina's voice, she was cowaring with Keiko. The fox demon worked quickly to pull the seeds out of his hair, knowing he wouldn't be able control them under these circumstances. "Daiki."
Green eyes looked up at the mention of the other's name. There was something he needed, the red head felt it deep inside his heart. //Daiki// The fox demon began to crawl to the screaming boy, who held his head and rocked in pain. Kurama bore the thumping of his heart and head because the same pain that tourtured him, seemed to be drawing him to the strawberry blond teen.
"Daiki." Kurama crawled past the sprouting seeds that had come from his hair. The red head crawled as if possessed by the need to be near the other. "Are you calling me?" The fox demon reached out and touched the other teenager.
Blue eyes opened wide, looking into nothing. He stopped screaming and his body was still. Kurama pulled the young man up to a sitting position. Blue eyes looked, he was acctually looking with interest and intent. //Daiki// The strawberry blond reached out a hand and touched the fox's lips with warm fingertips.
//You need something from me too. Isn't that right, Daiki.//
"Kurama, what are you doing? Come help us!" Yusuke shouted but his voice was a dull hum to Kurama.
The fox demon felt like he was being pulled into a space with only Daiki and himself. //Wait.// Kurama didn't want to be taken away. //Hiei.// Green eyes looked at the fire demon. Hiei was in the middle of slicing a large group of vines when he seemed to have a sixth sense to look at Kurama.
Green eyes and red locked for a moment, before Daiki leaned closer to the fox demon. Kurama didn't move, or was it that he couldn't move. The red head thought of moving back, but his body wouldn't respond. Even though he felt drawn to Daiki, another part of Kurama was crying out to be taken away from this strange obligation he felt trapped by.
//Don't make me...// The red head had a sense that something...unwanted was going to happen. //Please, don't make me hurt Hiei.// Daiki's lips covered the fox demon's. Kurama closed his eyes as if by not seeing it, made it untrue.
The fox demon was shocked as he started kissing the strawberry blond teen back. //Stop it!// The red head hated himself for kissing someone else let alone in front of Hiei!
//He'll hate me! I don't want him to hate me! Stop it, stop it!// He screamed at himself. Kurama thought his heart might do him a favor and explode. But deep inside of his minds eye all he could do was scream. In that moment, a darkness over took Kurama. He wasn't sure if he had passed out from pain or died of shame.
//Why is this happening?// The fox demon's thoughts in the darkness were like cherry blossom petals falling on a stone.
"What a mess, right?" a familiar voice spoke to him. "That's what I would be thinking." He felt a clawed, but gentle hand stroke his hair, as he lay on his side on the ground, if you could call it that. "Just when you think everything's going to work out, something happens."
Kurama was silent, his heart hurt. He felt so depressed, so out of control, his eyes wouldn't tear anymore. The other slipped his arms under the red head and picked him up. Green eyes looked at gold with indifference, before he let his face lean on the fox demon's chest.
Kurama's silver haired past self carried the red headed teenager out of the blackness and into a forest. The moon light filtered through the trees, making flickering patches they walked through. The red head didn't care where they were going, or if they were going anywhere. He felt warm here, in his other's arms.
"You know that feeling you get when you're starving or when you're really thirsty?" Youkai Kurama asked him as they began to slow down. "You know you need something and you start to react in ways you don't understand fully, when you come in contact with that need." //That's how I felt when Daiki kissed me. But what did I need?//
He stopped at a small glen that exposed the widest point of a slow moving, hip-high river. The water was clear and gently floating a few stray leaves across it's surface. A tiny light like a fire fly whized before the pair.
"It wasn't something you needed. You were responding to Daiki's need for you. Acctually, something inside of you." The silver haired demon grinned. "I found it here."
