Chapter 10

Kurama rubbed his cheek, as he glared at the cloaked creature, he would not allow himself to be taken by surprise again. For some odd reason Kurama could feel the necklace around his neck it seemed heavy at the moment. The boy looked down at the gem, then he realized that the shadow being's eyes were gazing at the gem with deep interest.

Kurama covered the gem with his hand shielding it from the beast's hungry gaze. The boy slowly rose to his feet, still feeling a bit punch-drunk. The creature nodded as he rose, and Kurama could only guess what the creature wanted, and why it seemed do interested in the jewel about his neck. Now was not the time to care.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Hiei knew he could not waste time now not if he was going to stop Kurama. The two demons looked at one another. Despite the fact that his mind was elsewhere, Hiei could tell that Kurama knew exactly what was going through his head.

Yusuke kneeled down beside the injured Kuwabara. "You okay buddy?" Yusuke inquired in a worried manner placing his hand on Kuwabara's shoulder, and supporting the boy's weight. The carrot-top nodded, "Yeah I'm okay it was just a scratch." Kuwabara offered a lighthearted laugh, then raised his head to look at Hiei, and Kurama.

"Hey Urameshi what does the shrimp think he's doing?" Kuwabara inquired with a wince of pain that caused the boy to bring his hand to his abdomen. The carrot-top noticed that both Hiei and Kurama were sizing one another up. Yusuke shook his head his brown eyes became misty and sorrowful. "He's gonna try and stop Kurama."

Kuwabara not sure what Yusuke meant looked with great interest at Hiei's next movements. Both Hiei, and Kurama were now brandishing a slashing weapon. The to fighters then began to race toward one another their weapons drawn. "Wait he's not gonna…" Kuwabara stated as the realization claimed him. Yusuke just turned away from the scene it would be too painful to watch. "There's got to be another way." Kuwabara's voice was frantic, his eyes began to grow wet as the realization set in.

The eyes of Yusuke and Kuwabara grew two sizes larger when they saw Hiei and Kurama attack on another at lightning speed, when the two passed one another, Kurama sank down onto the floor, while only a scratched appeared across Hiei's face. The fire demon did not seem at all fazed by anything that had just happened.

Kuwabara, finding strength, that he had no earthly right possessing considering his injury, rose to his feet unaided. The boy's lower lip was trembling in sorrow and anger, he had to bit it just to hold back his tears. "Hiei! You evil selfish bastard How could you… how could you do that to Kurama!" Kuwabara , exclaimed he had somehow gotten up to Hiei, and was holding the fire demon by his shoulders shaking him. Kuwbara wore a look of demanding sorrow that glistened in his tiny dark eyes.

"I did what I had to do" stated Hiei curtly in the same indifferent manner, looking over his shoulder at Kurama's motionless form on the floor.

"I thought he was your friend how could you?" Kuwabara was not only miffed but saddened. Quickly Kuwabara rubbed his eyes with one sweep of his arm, trying to force away his tears a bit longer. "How could you let him Urameshi!" Kuwabara intended to spread his anger out evenly, laying the blame where it should fall.

"He was not himself."

"So you killed him!" The carrot-top was livid and anyone else might have been trembling under his harsh accusative gaze. Hiei however showed no fear or emotion other than his common indifference.

"I saved him" said Hiei in a matter of fact tone. Kuwabara's eye twitched he had really had enough, and was ready to released his pent-up anger. Kuwabara's hands were already balled up into tight fist, all the boy had to do was swing, as he tried to deliver a rough punch to Hiei's face. "Go to hell Hiei!" The carrot-top exclaimed letting his fist fly, only to have it intercepted.

"Even when you're fighting through anger your too slow. Now stop acting like a fool if I hadn't done something Kurama would have probably killed us. Or at least you. And if you paid attention, you see he was not dead." Hiei directed Kuwabara's eyes over to Kurama's form, the boy appeared to finally be stirring.

Kurama rubbed his eyes, for some reason his head was pounding. The boy quickly began looking around in a surprised manner, the last thing he remembered was the cloaked shadow slashing at him, and where was Talva? "Kurama?" the redhead heard Yusuke's voice as his vision adjusted he sought out the form of the brown-eyed boy. Another dream Kurama did not know whether he should have been angry or relieved.

"Hey Kurama you're okay" Kuwabara stated happily too relieved to even remember he was angry. The carrot-top perhaps too relived to realize he was injured as well bounded over to Kurama, with a wide grin.

"How exactly did I get here?" Kurama inquired pushing himself off of the ground. The boy wilted a bit, but was caught by Yusuke, who helped the wobbly Kurama stand. Kurama smiled a little it was so strange, and just when things were getting back to normal.

"Hiei found you, said you had passed out on your way home. Don't worry I told your mom you were spending the night at my place helping me study." Stated Yusuke eliciting a nod from Kurama, who let his eyes drift off to look to the side of Yusuke.

Kurama looked over at the happy Kuwabara, his green eyes fell to the gash on the boy's abdomen. "Kuwabara?" Kurama's eyes looked concerned traveling from the wound to Kuwabara's face then back again. "What happened?" Kurama reached out his hand, his long slender fingers gesturing to the wound.

"Oh this" Kuwabara said in a reproachful manner, he placed his hands over the wound. "Nothing." Kurama's eyes narrowed as he looked at the wound, it was reminiscent somehow. The redhead then began to let his eyes scan the room, it was a bit of a stretch, but it did remind him of his dream. For some reason the boy's hand traveled to a point on his chest where he could still feel the weight of the crystal which was gone.

Hiei noticed the boy's movements, and held the necklace that he amassed from Kurama even more tightly in his fist. Kuwabara, now allowing himself be aware of his injury slipped downward. "We'd better get you patched up" stated Kurama Yusuke and Kuwabara each nodded.

"Come on" Yusuke grumbled playfully trying to sound indignant to Kuwabara as he pulled the boy's arm over his shoulder. "I'll be right behind you" Kurama stated to the two boys as the ambled out of the room. The redhead sent his friends a reassuring smile, then waited for the boys to leave before looking toward Hiei, who he all but ignored.

"What happened to Kuwabara? I know he's hiding something." Hiei nodded "He is, but are you sure you want to know fox." Kurama eyes grew even more quizzical. "What do you mean by that?"

Hiei lifted his hand and unclenched his fist. Kurama practically gasped. "I take it this does look familiar." The images of his recent dreams flooded Kurama's mind, and questions whirled in his thoughts. "Did I…"

"The thing must have been messing with your head. You should destroy it" said the fire demon, his voice was cold, harsh with truth.

But Kurama thought to himself. Had Talva meant for him to cause harm to his friends. You must keep it well for it will be the most important in the future, woman's words still hung in his mind. The boy shook his head covertly she did not seem like she would want to try to cause harm to anyone, why, what would her purpose in doing that be. Still.

"I'll take care of it Hiei" stated Kurama. Hiei was hesitant to return the necklace to Kurama, but he knew that the boy would not do anything foolish knowing it could harm those around him.

"Ow geez Urameshi what are you trying to do kill me!" Kuwabara's bellow could be heard clearly. Hiei rolled his eyes in irritation, "Let's go see what those to bakas are up to." Kurama nodded ready to follow Hiei but something begged the boy's attention. For some odd reason the redhead found himself looking at the bed.

"What is it Fox?" Kurama smiled, "this may sound strange but I just don't think I can leave the bed like that."

"Hn." Hiei rolled his eyes "I think you've hit a new low, Fox. The things that baka ningens worry about." Hiei grumbled shaking his head, as he left the room. Kurama shook his head as he watched the fire demon leave the room as well.

"Strange" Kurama intoned. It was true the boy did prefer to be neat but this was downright neurotic. Still Kurama found himself pulling back the cover from the mattress. Something hit the floor with a 'thud' a quick inspection of the floor at the point on the floor reveled a book. Not any book this was the book that Kurama could not understand.

Curiosity as it often does took hold of Kurama who just could not help flipping through the pages of the book. The symbols were still arcane strangely one page stood out to the boy it had letters that he had could actually understand on it. Although the words were still all too foreign to the boy. Still curiosity had not had its way with the boy yet so Kurama found himself looking over the words in fascination with a desire to recite some of the text. Even if he would have no earthly idea what he would be saying.

"Briastienatrime mosa-rosetta." Stated Kurama fumbling through a few of the words on the page trying to sate his fascination. "Briastienatrime cossi, briastienatrime emagva ed, briastienatrime tossetti." Confusion contorted Kurama's face into rather comical expression. "Alistra gorynnay matrinouve capripai." The words seemed to hold a rhythm, Kurama found himself sad that he could not understand the words it was possibly poetry in, Solarian speak, as Talva called it. "Briastienatrime mosa-rosetta, briastienatrime cossi, briastienatrime emagva ed, briastienatrime tossetti."

Kurama quickly closed the book and made the bed just so he would not have to explain why it had not been straightened out.

Ruby, emerald, sliver and gold. Different lives together whole. Kurama heard a voice whisper in his head. "Did you hear me , Fox?" Hiei seemed a little annoyed Kurama turned to the door nodding dumbly. His eyes were acquainted with the comical sight of a wet Hiei. The redhead stifled a laugh. "Those two bakas have no control."

"I'll go stop them" Kurama stated trying to hold back his amusement the boy set the book and the necklace on the bed and left the room Hiei followed behind Kurama, but not before shooting a quick glance at the necklace that was settled on the bed. Neither of the two demons noticed the faint red glow of the gem that faded as Hiei turned away from the room.
