Chapter Thirteen (13): Shinaku Shin


"Does that mean Shuiichi just-" George started.

"Shuiichi's gone…his spirit…it's been destroyed…"

"He gave up his only chance of being revived…the Ultimate Sacrifice… "George breathed.


Yusuke watched Youko with an immense look of hatred.

If that bastard even dares to move, I'll blast him to pieces! Yusuke thought. Just one step buddy boy and you're toast! Just one…

Yusuke's eyes fluttered close for a quick second, but he opened them quickly. Sweat trickled down his right temple. . Even though Yusuke's body was so tired, his gaze remained focused on Youko. Maybe it was all the energy in the room or perhaps it was the turmoil he had just gone through. His eyes fluttered closed again, but this time it took him longer to open them again. The tantei stifled a yawn.

What the hell? Why do I feel so sleepy all of a sudden? Yusuke wondered. All he wanted to was fall asleep right then and there. Fatigue consumed his body. He could barely stand up anymore…

So tired…Must sleep…tired…bed...slee-…

Yusuke noticed Kuwabara was watching Youko with the same revulsion. For the first time Kuwabara's expression was lethal. It was as if he wanted nothing more than to torture the kitsune. To torture him and make him beg for death. Beg for a death that would never arrive. Youko just smiled coyly at the two tantei. Kuwabara seemed tired as well. He wasn't standing up straight anymore, he was almost slouching. Kuwabara let out the smallest of yawns. Yusuke finally sank to his knees.

"Kuwabara…I…really…can't…" Yusuke collapsed onto the floor.

A few seconds later Kuwabara was on the ground as well. Yusuke looked up, a type of mist was fogging his vision. He could make out two figures in the far corner, though. One seemed to be asleep while the other one was crouching over it. Then Yusuke's head slumped against the floor once more.

/-----/

Yukina shook Keiko by the shoulder.

"Come on Keiko! Please wake up!" the apparition pleaded. She shook her again. Yukina looked over her shoulder, Yusuke and Kuwabara had passed out. Her heart raced, if all three of them had passed out…this could only mean one thing… She looked up at Youko. His eyes harbored a sinister smile. He was moving towards her. It was at that moment Yukina finally noticed the plants that were wrapped around his arms. The flowers of the plants were open and they were releasing a type of mist.

/-----/

Yusuke, fighting to keep his eyes open,forced himself up off the ground. He used his palms to push himself up. He squinted at the figures across the room only to see blurs of white, teal, and maybe silver. It took his brain a while to register the figures as Youko and Yukina. Yusuke heard a dragging sound. He slowly turned his head to his left, Kuwabara was trying to crawl towards him. As Yusuke moved to his left, he felt as if his limbs were made out of lead.

My arms...Damn it! What's wrong with my arms? Yusuke thought as he pushed with his legs frantically.

His hard work paid off when he heard a sound coming out of Kuwabara's mouth.

"Ura-Urameshi…I-I think Yo-Youko is trying to pull so- some funny business…" Kuwabara finally managed to say.

Yusuke stared at him, bewildered. It took the tantei a few moments to realize what Kuwabara had just said. Yusuke managed to nod. He tired to get up again, but darkness engulfed him and his head hit the stone floor.

/-----/

Yukina glared at Youko as he came closer. She stood up, she wasn't going to let him have the upper hand.

"Shinaku Shin Plants, isn't that what they are called?" she asked the kitsune.

Youko gave her a sly, slightly seductive smile.

"Smart and beautiful…I like that…" he said softly.

"Call them off!" Yukina ordered. "Now"

"I issue the orders around here… "Youko said tapping his chest with his finger. "I, and I alone."

"You took Shuiichi away from me and I'm not letting you take my other friends!" Yukina said venomously.

"Hm…Shuiichi…that name sounds familiar…wait do you mean HIM!" Youko asked as Shuiichi's body came flying at Yukina.

She shrieked and ducked. Shuiichi's body hit the wall behind her with a sickening CRACK!Yukina was sure that more of his bones had been broken.

/-----/

Yusuke dragged himself across the floor. He was getting closer to Kuwabara.

Just a little more…just a few more feet…just a few-He told himself.

Using his hands, Yusuke pulled himself closer tohis fallen comrade. His shoulder scrapped against the floor, but he contiued topull with his hands and push with his knees.First his shirt tore, then the soft, vulnerable, pale flesh underneath.Yusuke winced as raw flesh and exposed nerves made contact with a cold hard stone. The cold sensation turned into a burning wound. It was as if hot coals were being forced into his arm. He continued onward, leaving a trail of blood behind.Upon reaching Kuwabara, Yusuke pushed himself onto his knees. He slowly placed his hand on his friend'sshoulder. Blood rolled off of Yusuke's shoulder and splashed onto Kuwabara rugged features.

"Hey dumb ass…" Yusuke said as he tried to shake Kuwabara. "Yo idiot! Wake up… wake up!" He tried to shake him harder.

Maybe he's dead…Maybe he's dead…Maybe he's dead…Maybe he's dead…Maybe he's dead…Maybe he's dead…Maybe he's dead…Maybe he's dead…Maybe he's dead…Maybe he's deadMaybehe'sdeadMaybehe'sdeadMaybehe'sdead

That thought repeated and slurred itself in Yusuke's mind.

Dead!Dead!Dead!Dead!Dead!Dead! He's Dead!

That thought was the loudest.

"Kuwabara!" Yusuke managed to choke. He shook Kuwabara again. "Wake up!"

Kuwabara opened an eye. It took him a while to realize who was shaking him.

"Urameshi…Youko's trying to single Yukina out…we have to stop him…" Kuwabara said in a hoarse whisper, but Yusuke had already passed out…

/-----/

Youko took another step forward. He was still smiling at Yukina.

"Looks like it's just the two of us princess" Youko told her. A sword came flying at him.

"Count again" a voice called out.
