A/N: Chapt. 5 is up! Sorry for the delay. Karasu has taken Hiei under his power and Yusuke and Kuwabara still cannot move from his trance. Will Kurama ever crawl out of his shell and be able to stop Karasu?
[ ]= a thought
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Pleasured Torment"
Hiei tilted his head back and arched his back while letting out small moans of pleasure. This is exactly what Karasu had planned. He leaned into Hiei's neck area and very gently nibbled on his milky white flesh which left a small visible bite mark. Kurama instantly went in a rage. How dare he leave a love mark on Hiei's neck and in front of him to see. While Hiei was distracted by the small chills running all over his body, Karasu slowly lifted up his hand behind Hiei's back about to strike when Kurama interrupted.
-"Stop it Karasu! Leave Hiei alone, it's me you want not him."
Karasu smirked. "Hn. Yes you are right Kurama....you are exactly what I want."
He walked away from the small blushed demon who he had tortured and waltzed over to Kurama. Hiei instantly came back to reality and blinked several times. He looked down and was embarrassed to find himself half exposed and his heart beating at a very fast rate. He turned around and saw the two demons face to face almost about to go at each others throats.
-"Kurama?! What the hell are you doing?!"
-"Don't worry Hiei, I have to handle this myself! Just stay out of it!"
-"Kurama you can't be serious. Don't be a fool. Do you really think you can handle him yourself? You can't even move!"
Karasu gave a seductive grin. "Hm. Yes Kurama, are you sure you can handle me? I am a very 'large' yoko unlike yourself."
-"Karasu you pervert! Just because I can't move doesn't mean I can't kill you."
-"Hn. Please kitsune, you can't even control yourself when I lightly brush up against you or slightly caress the side of your mildly blushed cheek. You can't resist. Just like in your.....dream."
Kurama almost fell flat on his face. He had almost forgot Karasu knew about his dream. "I want to know how you knew about my dream...nightmare I should say."
-"Hn. I was in it wasn't I? It's one of my special qualities.....controlling other people's dreams. You can even say that I sort of invaded your what was supposed to be dream of Hiei?"
-"But how is it possible? How are you still alive?!"
Karasu grinned. "Illusions my dear Kurama."
-"Explain."
-"Back in the tournament....before you killed me, I quickly removed myself from my yoko form, releasing my spirit from my body. Once you hit me, I immediately escaped to regain my spirit energy. Yes it is true, I have the same form and body but thats beside the point. Although I still haven't regained every ounce of my energy, I still have enough to rid you and your worthless friends. Plus it doesn't take you that long to get pleasured by me, so killing you will be a breeze. And since you seem to be more helpless than I at this very moment, I will have you down on your knees first begging for mercy."
Kurama looked puzzled. [But thats exactly how I escaped from my yoko form to come into the Ningaki.....?]
-"Karasu....I'm not weak, and even if I am. I still have the strength to kill you again."
Karasu started to laugh hysterically. "Sweet Kurama, listen to yourself. Your terrified that you see me right before your eyes....alive. You think this is all a big nightmare that would just go away don't you?"
Kurama let out a big sigh as he gave a long sweat drop. "To tell you the truth, I don't know what I'm feeling. Besides being confused, I don't think I can take this fight seriously, because....."
-"Because what my lovely fox?" Mocked Karasu.
-"Because maybe this is a nightmare!" Yelled Kurama as he instantly fell to his knees with his hands grabbing his head as if it were going to explode from manipulation.
-"Hn." Karasu moved over towards Kurama and slowly bent down to the confused fox. He took his hand and lifted up Kurama's head.
-"There is no need for overly dramatic scenes Kurama. Why can't you just admit that you can't resist me?"
Kurama quickly slapped Karasu's hand away from his face and stood up to face Karasu eye to eye.
-"Karasu how dare you! First you try to hurt me, physically and emotionally in my dreams, and now you seduce Hiei into your evil doings and try to kill him! How can you say--"
-"Oh but Kurama you are wrong. What I did in your dreams and right now, I was merely teasing. You want hurt and torment? I'll give you that."
Kurama lifted his red brow. He had no idea what was about to happen, but before he could say anything, Karasu had distracted Kurama by forcefully pressing his lips up against his. Kurama was wide-eyed at first but began to lean into Karasu's passionate kiss. As Kurama was being dominated by the dark demon, unable to move, Karasu quickly placed a bomb in his right shoulder so delicately, the kitsune did not take notice. The bomb suddenly exploded and Kurama pulled away from Karasu's kiss and screamed in agonizing pain and fury. He felt some small tears run down his pale cheek as he saw the crimson-red blood trickle down his arm to the dry ground. Karasu leaned over to lick Kurama's salty tears off of his terrified face.
-"Mmmm...Kurama....you taste so good," smirked Karasu.
"K-Karasu....whh-whyy??"
-"Hn...you wanted to know what true hurt and torment felt like didn't you Kurama? I'm giving you an opportunity of knowing what that kind of pain and pleasure are like together. What do you think?"
-"I th-think you're a si-sick bas--"
-"No need for name-calling Kurama, its bad for your complexion...hm," smiled Karasu.
Kurama stood there barely being able to keep his balance. He looked deep into those lavender eyes of his with rage as he clenched onto his right shoulder to stop up the blood. He raised up his fist, his body shaking all over, but immediately grabbed his shoulder again because of the pain.
-"AHHH! I'll k-kill you for t-this...."
-"Try not to speak my dear Kurama, it will only make you weaker."
Yusuke and Kuwabara watched still from the distance. "What the hell is wrong with you Kurama?! Don't give into him, you're going to get yourself killed!!"
Kuwabara gritted his teeth at the sick display of torture. "It isn't right, Kurama dies, we're all done for."
Hiei looked back at the two demons with worried eyes. [What are his chances?]
