Shade- I don't own YYH
I'M BACK! The only reason I'm updating this is because I had the chapter printed and when the computer crashed my other chapters were lost. I HAD FIVE CHAPTERS TYPED! FIVE! AND NOW THEY ARE ALL GONE! I WAS GONNA HAVE AN UPDATE BINGE WHERE ALL MY STORIES WOULD BE UPDATED AND SURPRISE EVERYONE BY THAT IS OUT OF MY POWERS NOW!
People- Stop yelling
Shade- Sorry, oh well, the chapters I had typed were all crap anyways… no action
Extra note: I just want to know if Corrupted Purity is still reading, you seemed very interested in it and I'm not really sure

Chapter 9: The nightmare shared
Serena was plopped on the bed by the guard. Her tiny body was curled up into a ball and her wings were spread over the end of the bed in a corrupt fashion. Though her eyes were still open from the tranquilizer that had been put in her. In this state, she was still said to be sleeping, and the nightmares crept through her head like trolls of hell.
Fidgeting, Serena's fingers and legs spasmed out of control as horrid images flew past her baby blue eyes. Her nightmare, always, her nightmare visited her.
-Nightmare-
The picture in Serena's mind was of a lake of dark red blood. Standing around the lake were pure black trees, as if they were only shadows and figments of a naïve mind like Serena's. Above all the silent yet scary scenery was a full moon, slightly hidden behind a dark cloud. Slinking back to the lake, a fire was ignited at its shores and if you looked hard enough you could see the thinning outline of a body.
Right behind this burning corpse, in the light of the moon, a disturbance created the tiny ripple of a wake in the lake. Lifting itself out of the lake of blood came none other than Serena. The blood drenched her white gown and wings and covered her head so her hair stuck to her face. She slowly walked out of the deep depths of the lake and lifted her head revealing piercing red eyes. Her arms swung in the dead air as she moved closer to the fire with no trace of emotion on her equally dead face. She stared blankly into the fire as she strode out of the lake and dragged a red line behind her as she walked across the dirt to right in front of the hot inferno.
In her hands was a feather. The feather had no trace of blood on it, and she spun it fast in her hands by twiddling with the root. She stared into the dark flame with the red outlining. Looking into her face, the flames cast a shadow over her making her seem even scary. The fire flickered in her eyes like crude torture from hell below. She put her arm out in front of her with the feather in hand and dropped it into the fire.
When the feather hit the flames it instantly burst along with the fire. Serena lifted her wings and spread her arms outward embracing the explosion. Blood spewed from off her body as the flames expanded further and within minutes surrounded the edge of the lake. Her long shadow was cast along the length of the lake as all of the blood had departured her body. Although, her white clothing and blonde tresses were in a way darker, more evil. Turning around to face the light of the moon, she looked up toward the middle of the blood lake and saw the slaves' body burning and tied by thorns and ivy to a blood soaked cross. Serena stood there, unable to do anything, watching the hectic scene occur in front of her until finally the fire burnt through the middle of the cross. The body fell through the air in slow motion with smoke and ember flying around everywhere. It ultimately made a splash as it sank to the deep bottom of the tarn and streaked Serena in its blood.
A blood curdling scream filtered through the dank area as everything went black. Serena shot up from out of her sick slumber with pellets of sweat dotting her face. Her eyes were wide as she looked down at herself and patted her clothes to make sure there was no blood on her. She shuffled out of bed and darted to her tall mirror. Placing her face only several inches from the mirror, she looked into her eyes. They were her average baby blue and not that horrid red like in her dream.
She suddenly weakened in her knees as her adrenalin lowered and the tranquillizer made her woozy. She fell to the floor with her face in her hands and her wings lying on the ground seemingly weighing a ton. She breathed heavily as she kept in those long desired tears that the devil man wanted. She lifted her head up out of her hands as she felt a slight tingly feeling from her arm where the vaccination had been put in her. She rubbed it lightly to make the pain go away.
Her breathing had finally settled to a normal respiring beat when memories started to come back to her. The devil man was going to execute the boy today. Serena stood up and sprinted to her doors and opened them up and ran out on the balcony. Letting the rail stop her in her run, she stared out at the scene in front of her. Thousands of slave drivers and their slaves alike were crowding around the building getting ready to witness the execution of the red eyed boy.
-The cells-
The boys sat in darkness listening to the echo of a dripping pipe somewhere off in the distant halls of the cells. They all had not spoken a word since the dim light had been eliminated, until Kuwabara came out with a question.
"Hey Yusuke?" He asked. He started to respond even though Yusuke did not answer him back.
"Do you have the communicator?" Yusuke sprung up at this, as did Kurama and Hiei.
Yusuke frantically searched through his pockets causing him to shake Kurama's and Kuwabara's hands with the chains. He finally yanked his hand out of his pants with the communicator in hand.
"I got it." He said staring at the thing in front of him, even though he couldn't see it.
He was hesitant to try and use it. He kept it in his shaking hands for a minute before trying to finally open it. He fumbled for the switch that made it nap open. He hit it and the communicator snapped open. It had nothing but static. The light shone from the screen lighting up Yusuke's seemingly dead face. He slowly closed it and set it on the damp floor. No one said anything.
Suddenly, the dim light reentered the cell hallways and footsteps reverberated down the hall closer and closer. As the light grew even brighter, the guys winced at its intensity as two guards stopped in front of them. One of the guards held the torch as the other fiddled with the keys. He unlocked the cell door and grabbed Hiei who was the closest making the others move toward them because of their conjoined chains.
"Come on now, it's time for yer fate. He, he, he." The guard gave a hearty laugh leaving the guys confused as they stood up and started to leave.
"Where are you taking us?" Kurama asked surprisingly calm.
"The tiny one's execution of course."
"Hey! It was supposed to be a surprise ya tart!" the other guard swung his arm around and it hit the demon in the arm.
"Well I'm sorry, it slipped." He laughed out, not noticing the horrified faces of the gang.
"What?!" Kuwabara yelled out, not noticing the velocity of his voice.
"Hiei's execution?" Yusuke added on.
The guards nodded in delight and the guys looked to Hiei to see what he was feeling. He only stared forward in an utter mix of fear and surprise. They all kept walking to watch the demise of Hiei's life, knowing they could do nothing.
