Countdown

------------------------------------------ Kurama's POV -------------------- ------------

"Why is this happening to us," I yelled at the top of my lungs. We just were defeated by a enemy we though was dead, Karasu.

-----Flash back---

" Oh my fox,"

Karasu had said while moving his finger up and down my check. I had no choice, my love, Hiei, was chained to the wall in front of me. Watching in horror as Karasu came closer and closer to me.

" My Kurama, do you like my present for you. A room full of roses and your love with you until the very end."

" What do you mean by that,"

I knew he was up to something but I would have never guessed what he had in mind. He came so close to me, his lips were almost touching my ear.

He than whispered, " To watch your entire life die right in front of you."

I was so shocked I could not move or say a word. Than, automatically Hiei was released. I got out of Karasu's grasp and ran to his side. Than, to keep us from going anywhere, he had a cage drop down around us.

" Bring each person in one at a time so I can se them suffer," Karasu said to one of his servants.

The servant than walked out and came back in with my human mother, Shori.

I than cried out, "Mother."

" Shuichii, what is going on."

" Don't worry mother, everything will be fine. I promise you, just keep calm."

I could tell Hiei knew what meant and probably will happen so he did the best he could to comfort me. Karasu than walked over to her, unchained her, and let her run to me. She than dropped to her knees crying while holding my hand. There was nothing that could comfort anyone for what was coming next. I looked at her than felt Karasu powering up. All I could do was watch her scream and yell in pain until she completely exploded right in front of me. All that Karasu did was laugh as I cried my heart and Hiei tried his best to comfort me.

" I take it, that you could not handle the pain of losing one of the most important thing in your life. I wonder how Hiei will take it when someone he feels so important he made the sacrifice to get a jagan implanted for her."

" Don't you dare touch Yukina you bastard." I heard Hiei yell.

" Oh, I will do more than that to her, you will see. Let the torturing begin tomorrow at dawn."

Than he left until he probably will finish us off tomorrow.
