Yusuke jolted awake as something hit him hard in the face. Rolling away from what ever connected with his jaw, he turned to glare at whatever it was that had caused him pain. "DamXit Kuwabara..." He sighed, but couldn't hide his smile. Kuwabara had kicked him in his sleep, that was all.
The four Rekai were currently outside, returning from a mission that had taken a good week. Almost home, they had stopped to sleep in a field under a tree. Hiei slept up in the branches, while the others were on the ground. It felt good to have their troubled behind them. Yusuke looked closer at Kuwabara and finally realized something was wrong.
Kuwabara was sweating, and his hands gripped on the ground, digging into the dirt. His mouth was open in a silent scream, and he thrashed as if he was fighting someone. Yusuke feeling rather alarmed, woke Kurama. Kurama looked at him a little agitated, but Yusuke ignored the look, and pointed at Kuwabara. "Is...Is he having a nightmare?" Yusuke was checking remembering how Kuwabara had been poisoned earlier...but he could have sworn they managed to get it all out.
Kurama starred at Kuwabara, who arched his back in pure agony. They watched him confused, and their heart racing. "Didn't we get the poision out?" Yusuke asked gripping Kurama's shoulder. "Yes we did! He's havign a nightmare, don't just stare!" Hiei jumped down from the branches.
The two were surprised. Hiei actaully sounded angry, but unknown to them Hiei had, had his fare share of nightmares...Hiei grabbed Kuwabara's arm. That seemed to trigger something in Kuwabara, for his silent scream no longer was silent. He howled in a despair, and agony, suscessfulyl curning in a ball.
Yusuke, terrfied by what he was witnessing, grabbed Kuwabara pulling him to him in a embrace. "KUWABARA!" Blue eyes shot open, and sweaty, pale and shakey hands grabbed whoever was holding him. Kuwabara had no idea who held him, but he didn't care. Resting his head on this person's lap, he held onto him, breathing heavilly, and wimpering as tears sped down his face.
Yusuke was shoked. Kuwabara was crying? Over a nightmare? Hiei starred in wonder. He had this look in his eyes as if he was looking at Kuwabara for the first time. Kurama sat still, unsure of what to do next. "Please don't..."
The three concerned rekai looked at the visably scared Kuwabara. The youth shook, holding tighter to Yusuke's waist. "No more...it hurts...Please stop...Dad...don't..." Freezing the three looked down at Kuwabara wide eyed, and mouthes slightly open. Kuwabara's grip on Yusuke's slender waist slipped and loosened. Yusuke pulled him up looking at his pale face, "He's...he's fainted!" Yusuke finally announced.
Kurama swallowed, "What he just said...what..what did he-"
"Don't ask!" Hiei spat. "It's Kuwabara's buisness...we'll ask him whats wrong, but if he doesn't say don't pry!"
Yusuke looked at him, and had a feeling something in Kuwabara's words had sparked one of Hiei's more painful memories.
Sure enough, before Hiei went back into the tree branches, he wiped the wet tears from Kuwabara's face. "What...What's up?" Yusuke asked looking at Kurama. "Somthing very bad was done to him. Just leave it at that." Kurama laid back down, Yusuke now left alone. Shocked, and confused, Yusuke looked at his best friend.
He sighed, and eventaully laid down, holding Kuwabara close. "It's okay Kuwabara...I'm here."
/NEXT DAY/
"Do you see them?" Boeton asked waiting for her four friends to show up. Koenma smiled and pat her hand, which gripped onto his arm. "Don't worry they said they be back today." Koenma, and Boeton were at Genkai's shrine, waiting for their friends to return. They had just defeated the worst enemy they had ever come across. Genkai sat patiently on her porch, while Boeton and Koenma struggled to contain their excitement. Yusuke and the others had svaed millions of lives, if they had realized it or not.
"There they..." Boeton trailled off. Genkai rose quickly, and Koenma let his hand hang loosly at his side. Kurama, Hiei, and Yusuke came up the stone steps looking very grim. Yusuke held a pale and sickly looking Kuwabara, Hiei, and Kurama looking at their incapacitated friend.
"Oh no! Kuwabara!" Boeton ran forward, her heart pounding, Koenma and Genkai following after. Yusuke went to his knees, laying Kuwabara to the ground, but holding his head and shoulders in the saftey of his arms, "We...We don't know what's wrong with him!" Tears were in his eyes, and his nose red from previouse tears.
Genkai looked at him, placing her hands over his body. "He was poisoned, but we thought we got it all out!" Kurama cried. Genkai frowned, "You did...there's nothing that could be making him do this..." Genkai frowned further. "Call his sister...maybe she can exsplain something to us." Kuwabara moaned suddenly, tears splashing down his face. "Noooo...please stop..." Koenma frowned, "A nightmare?"
"Yes. He had one the other night, but he woke up then...but he hasn't woken today, not even when we shook him or hit him!" Kurama sighed twisting his hands. Genkai touched his head, "He's feaverish, Boeton go get some cold water and a rag."
Boetone turned to go, but froaze at what happened next. A deep moan, starting from Kuwabara's belly, and rising through his throat and coming out his mouth. It was a dark, agressive, horriable sound. Followed by words that did not seem to fit Kuwabara.
"I'll kill you...kill you all."
Yusuke starred horrified at Kuwabara, eyes wide. Genkai turned and screamed at Koenma, "CALL HIS SISTER NOW! SOMETHIGN IS WRONG WITH THIS BOY, AND I AIM TO FIND OUT!"
Hiei looked at the slumbering Kuwabara, and a surprising chill swept through him. A face that had never been made by the copper haired teen was now looking at him. He swallowed. Hiei had made that face when he was about to kill someone who really pissed him off.
'What the Hell is going on in his mind?!'
