Chapter 7: Piece of insanity
It was dark, no, black. There was nothing at all. It almost looked like the four figures were floating in the air.
"What happened?" Yusuke asked looking around him, but finding only his friends there. Two of them were already fighting.
"Have you any idea what you've done!" Hiei shouted to the orange haired man.
"How should I know?" the carrot top shouted back. "This is the first time for me being in someone's mind."
"I told you not to touch anything!" the fire demon continued the arguing.
"I didn't touch it on purpose", Kuwabara tried to defence himself.
"Hey guys", the ex detective started when the blackness disappeared and instead of it was...
"Isn't this Kurama-san's house?" Yukina asked. They were standing in the middle of the dark living room. The bedrooms lights were on and there came voices. Leaving the fight aside the group walked to the room's door.
As soon as they got to the entrance the other parts of the house disappeared and they were standing at the place, where the wall and wardrobes should be. When Yusuke looked behind them all he saw was the same blackness than before.
The whole room seemed to be bigger than it used to be, but still too cramped. Kurama was sitting on the large bed's edge. In front of him was standing Hiei, who was wearing a cruel smile on his lips.
The ex Tantei turned his head for a second to see, that there was another Hiei standing beside him.
"Why are you doing this?" The redheaded man asked whispering.
"I said it already", the spiky haired demon smirked. "It was fun playing with you and now the game is over."
"It wasn't a game!" the fox said angrily.
"Of course it was", the koorime continued. "You're a yoko. Everything is a game for you."
"No it's not! I'm not that yoko anymore!" the green eyed beauty shouted getting up from the bed.
"But you are", was the cruel answer. "You have a soul of cold-hearted, playful yoko. I know you don't have feelings so don't try to win the game by faking them. You have already lost."
"It isn't a game", the taller man tried to explain sorrow in his voice.
"Sure it was. And now that I have won it I don't have any reason to stay", the fire youkai said and then laughed evilly. "Imagine me, leaving the great Yoko Kurama to roll in self-pity, by winning in his own game of catching the prey."
The redhead raised his hands to his chest and fell down to sit on the bed again. It looked like he couldn't breathe.
"Don't leave me", he tried again. "I need you."
"Did you actually think that I even might fall in love with you?" Hiei questioned the kitsune. "Maybe I was wrong. You aren't a yoko, you have became a pitiful ningen."
Yusuke turned to take a hold of the black haired demon by the lapels. "You son of a bitch! Saying all those things to Kurama! No wonder he's going mad!"
The youkai didn't move his gaze from the redheaded beauty even when the ex Tantei lifted him into the air.
"Do you have something to say?" the man asked, angry that Hiei didn't care.
The scarlet eyes turned to look at the detective. "I never said that", he said clearly. "This has never happened."
The dark haired man got puzzled. If this wasn't a memory, what was it?
"Then kill me!" Kurama voice was heard again after a long silence. It got everyone's attention, even the leaving Hiei's.
Yusuke dropped the other fire demon, who had been in his grip, to the floor.
"If you want to win me so badly kill me. Then you can say you have done that too", the redhead finished.
The demon looked over his shoulder the beauty. "You don't deserve it." Then he wasn't seen anywhere.
"He's so cruel", Yukina whispered holding back her tears. Kuwabara wrapped his hand around his wife.
All of sudden all of them fell to their knees trebling.
"What's happening?" the carrot top asked the others starting to feel weird. The emotion got even clearer. He had felt something like this before. It was the same kind of feeling he had had when Yusuke had died. The feeling of losing someone important to you and knowing you couldn't get him back.
"I don't know", Yusuke answered breathing heavily. "I'm starting to feel... pain."
"It hurts", the Ice Maiden said teargems dropping on the floor. "It hurts so much."
Hiei was shocked. It was like they had said, painful. He had never felt anything like this. When Yusuke had died by Sensui's hand or when Yukina hadn't recognized him, he had been mad, maybe even kind of sad, but this was nothing compared to them. It was much more.
He knew how to hurt people physically, but he hadn't known that words could make someone feeling something like torturing or dying.
But more than feeling this himself, he was hurt by looking Kurama, who was sitting on the bed hugging his legs shaking and knowing that his fox was so badly hurt, and in a way it was the fire demon fault.
If this was one of the hallucinations, Hiei didn't want to know the other ones. When the redhead had described them to the oaf it already sounded pretty bad, but seeing it was far more horrifying. And the kitsune had been seeing these kinds of things for almost month constantly. Alone. It was a miracle that he had been at least a little sane after all this.
He didn't take his eyes off the beauty. He remembered when he had come back yesterday to find Kurama cutting himself and asking the koorime, was he going to leave. It had been ridiculous then. He could never leave Kurama and he had hoped that the redhead had known it. But anybody who sees something like this would start to doubt themselves.
And then the feeling vanished as did the room and Kurama. They were back sitting on the floor of the hallway.
"What was that?" Yusuke asked after catching his breath.
"It was one of the hallucinations", Hiei said.
"How do you know?" Kuwabara questioned.
"It wasn't a memory", the fire demon stated looking at the carrot top like he was a big idiot.
"Oh, what ever it was", the ex detective said starting to stand up. It was badly looking that if he didn't change the subject a new fight would have born. "We should do the job before anything else happens."
"Don't stand up!" the spiky haired demon ordered.
"Why not?" the man asked.
"Do you want to burst another bubble? They doesn't come close to the floor", the koorime said leaning against the wall.
"But we have to get to the mind wall, or what ever it was", Yusuke tried to convince the others.
"No, we have to wait", the red eyed youkai corrected.
"Wait what?"
"Hn."
"Great", the dark haired man said and sat on the floor crossing his legs.
"Is it just me or do you hear voices?" Kuwabara asked.
"Now that you mention it, yes I do", the ex Tantei said listening closer. There were many different voices mixed. He could identify some of them. He even recognized some conversations. Some of the voices were louder than the others and some talks' got cut in the middle. He glanced up and saw not very far from his face a yellow bubble. When he looked it closer he saw an image on it. A tree, and under it were sitting two figures. The conversation was clearer than any other.
;;You are going back again aren't you;; Yusuke could say without doubts that it was Kurama's voice. The dark haired man was sure that there was an 'hn'-sound. And Hiei was only one who used it. The bubble came a little lower and the ex detective could see in the bubble that the figures were the redhead and the spiky haired fire demon.
;;Well, I guess I just have to wait and see if you come back.;; It was the fox again.
;;I will.;; Hiei's low voice was heard from the bubble. After that it continued its flying and the conversation with it.
"I think they are his memories, the bubbles", the man said. He felt like he had seen something he should have not. Even thought it hadn't been very intimate or anything, but still it was Kurama's memory.
Now he understood the fox. Yusuke would never want anyone to enter his mind. It was so easy to see something you shouldn't have seen. He also respected the green eyed man's privacy, even if it didn't look like that all the time.
"I was thinking", Yukina said shyly. Every one turned their heads to listen her. "If the event that we saw was a hallucination, is it possible that we hurt Kurama by seeing it?"
"Don't worry", Kuwabara comforted. "He's in coma so I guess he doesn't see a thing."
"But we don't know that for sure", the woman continued. "What if it's the same thing that if he was asleep, but now he just can't wake up?"
All of them fell quiet. No one else had thought about that possibility. And if it was true, being in the redhead's mind was even riskier than they had supposed.
"Kuso", Hiei cursed and started to get to his feet.
"You won't want to touch that bubble", a familiar voice said. Hiei moved his head so that he dodged a blue bubble and turned his eyes to see a young boy in front of him. He was wearing jogging shoes, jeans and a scarlet sweater. His short hair was flaming red and the eyes were emerald greens. "Sorry to make you wait."

Little Myy: That's that. Not a long one, but still at least there is something. If you'll review, I'll write, fair enough?
Answering reviews:
To Darkinuyasha: I think the bubbles got the explanation in this chapter. But in the next chapter it will be explained in detail.
To mistressKC: It would be boring if they wouldn't see any memories... Well the bubble wasn't exactly a memory, but still.
To Nite Nite: It was kind of sad, even though it wasn't a memory memory. I have a hard time with inventing them. But let's see what I can do.
To KitsuneAkai13: Kuwabara pressed the worst bubble he could, almost at least. And I won't tell you until the end what happens to Kurama –evil laugh- you just have to wait and see.
To KayHiei: I updated. It took a while, but I did. Read further and you will discover if it effect Kurama or not.
To DragonYaoi: I don't think that this will be one of those 'world of chaotic doom' –things, even of Kurama's mind is at this point little chaotic. I will write on. Hopefully soon.
Thanks to you all.
