Author's Note: Ello, I'm back. Here's the next chapter. Sorry I didn't update sooner, but for not doing so, I'm going to make this chapter worth the wait.
(Torture) thoughts
Youko lay in the cold, damp; cave curled in a tight ball, praying for something he thought he'd never pray for. Death. The bitter cold air of the mountains filled the tiny cave, making the fox shiver, and curl up even tighter. Not knowing that in just a few minutes the cave he was in was going to change.
Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei, Firefox, and Icicle left the temple soon after the fox's arrival. The group was quickly making its way through the forest that surrounded Yomi's castle. Not one of them knew that Yukina had followed them until Hiei saw her standing in the bushes just a few feet behind Kuwabara. "Yukina." Hiei said softly, making everyone turn to stare at him. "What are you doing here?"
"I want to help." Yukina said.
Hiei looked at her and said, "All right. Just be careful okay."
"I will." She answered.
Firefox looked Yukina up and down and said, "How can she help?"
"She happens to be my little sister and in expert healer." Hiei snapped. Firefox just stared at him and nodded.
Youko suddenly felt something grab his wrists and ankles and turn him so he was lying on his stomach. He felt the cave lengthen and the things that held him pull to his full height. (What's happening? What are these things?) A loud scrapping sound seemed to fill the cave. (What is that?) Then Youko felt a heavy pressure on his back. Oh god, oh god, no, no not that, Youko thought, as the pressure increased. He gasped for breath as it increased even more, and moaned in pain as he felt his back brake. Before he passed out. He never saw the huge bolder that had crushed his back and legs retreat back into the ceiling of the cave.
Please review. Next chapter will be up soon.
