Chapter 17

A week past since the PMS thing, so there was no chance of Columbia flipping out, breaking down, or just having mood swings...wait, scratch that, this is Columbia we're talking about here, she's always having mood swings.

Oh, by the way, it was official, Kurama and Yukina were officially a couple. In fact, it was a funny relationship considering that Kurama and Yukina's twins were also going out. Honestly, you could feel the tension between the two couples.

Columbia and Hiei, being the little hellians they were, well, they weren't jealous, more like outraged and they kept calling Kurama and Yukina copycats.

The thing of it all, Kurama snd Yukina were in Columbia's words, pervs. They never seemed to take their hands off each other. The odd part about that, even though the others did know what they did, they never did anything in front of the others. They were very secretive, maybe too secretive.

Due to two very curious mind though, that changed very quickly.

Columbia and Hiei were doing their usual "hanging out at Columbia's house all afternoon," but for some odd reason, they had a strange feeling something was going on upstairs.

"Go see what's going on in there Red."

"You go do it."

"It's your house."

"Fine."

As Columbia exited her room, she turned back to see Hiei snoozing on her bed. So she picked a candle up off of her dresser and threw it at Hiei. Her aim was perfect, it hit him right in the head.

"What the hell?"

"Don't go to sleep, you baka."

"Whatever."

He rolled back over to face the wall, only causing Columbia to pick up another candle and threw it at Hiei.

"Fine, I'm up."

Finally satisfied, she walked out of her room and next door to Kurama's room. She gently out her ear to the door and heard him, eer, moan.

'What the hell? What's that dumb ass doing in there.'

Columbia slowly turned the door knob and pushed the door open a crack, but when she peaked in, she was at a loss for words for once in her life.

Inside Kurama's room was something so wrong, so shocking, so bad, so un-Kurama.

Kurama was on his bed, covered with blankets, but the odd thing he was in a push-up position. Columbia had an idea of what he was doing, but she wasn't completely sure. Right when she was about say something, she heard a girls voice, a very familiar one in fact.

"Wow, that was...really good."

"Shh, Yukina they might hear us."

"You wish they would, but that would only make things much more exciting."

Columbia watched with wide eyes as Kurama collapsed on the bed, so that she could see Yukina as well.

'Oh my goddess, what the freakin hell, that's so-so WRONG.'

She quietly shut the door and quickly, but quietly ran back to her room.

"Red? Red, what's wrong, what happened?"

Columbia opened her mouth, but was at a loss for words. Hiei pushed her head over to face him.

"What's going on?"

"Kurama...Yukina..."

"You're not making sense."

"Oh, believe me, I am."

"No you're not."

Frustrated, Columbia grabbed Hiei's wrist and pulled him out of her room, to the door of Kurama's room.

"Keep quiet and listen."

(A/N: I refuse to write sex scenes, it's just not me. I'll write torture scenes, no sex, got it, GOOD.)

As they listened, Columbia knew that Kurama and Yukina were going for round two, if this was indeed round two. Then it happened, Hiei heard Kurama say Yukina's name.

Columbia looked at Hiei who had gone pale faced. Deep down, she knew Hiei was about ready to break that door down that blocked them from the contents of the bedroom.

"Hiei no, don't do something stupid."

"I'm not gonna do something stupid, just something very violent."

"To who?"

"Kurama, who else."

"Ok, I'll help ya, but we'll wait till Yukina leaves so it won't endanger her as well."

Hiei nodded, even though Columbia knew that he still wanted to break that damned door down.

About an hour later, Hiei and Columbia were awakened by the front door being shut.

So slowly and quietly, they walked themselves downstair and to the kitchen where Kurama sat at the table.

From behind, Kurama felt two people each grab one of his arms.

"What the hell are you two doing?"

They didn't answer, but Kurama saw Columbia motioning to Hiei. They began to move towards the counter and that's when Kurama saw it, the rolling pin. (A/N: Yeah, that's a blunt enough object, my mom's idea, haha.) That was the last thing Kurama remembered.

When Kurama regained conciousness, he found himself bound and gaged to the chair.

"Thought you could get away with screwing my sister, did ya?"

"Yeah bro, now you're gonna pay."

Kurama's eyes went wide as Columbia climbed off the counter and began to walked towards him.

'They saw me and Yukina up in my room, oh no.'

Columbia stopped right in front of Kurama. She laughed and jumped into his lap.

"Now dear brother, what should we do next, oh yeah, sharp."

"Wait, Red, I don't get it."

"The five steps of torture. You know, blunt, sharp, cold, hot, and loud."

"Oh, ok, crazy girl. Do your work."

She got up from Kurama's lap and walked back over to the counter and picked up an huge ass butcher knife.

'Kami, help me.'

"Nothing's gonna help you now bro. Shallow cuts, shallow cuts."

Hiei watched as his crazy girlfriend began to cut Kurama's chest.

She had to do her work as carefully as she could, she couldn't make any mistakes 'cause that would be way to dangerous.

Her first cut was on Kurama's chest, slowly and carefully, she drug the knife along his chest, cutting cloth and skin.

"Bummer that you're wearing white, stains to easily."

The next cut was a quick one that almost seemed like a slam. She brought the knife up and slashed it across her brothers left cheek.

"Okay, that's enough of that. I think I just may skip cold and hot, I'll just skip ahead to loud."

'Ok, this is getting really bad.'

Hiei watched as Columbia grabbed Kurama's right hand from the bind and pulled it to her chest. She rested one hand one the pointer finger.

At that point everyone knew what was about to happen, but before Hiei could grab Columbia, she pulled Kurama's finger up and it snapped like a twig. Columbia dropped her brother's hand and back away far enough that she could have fallen out of the window.

She watched as Hiei undid Kurama's binds, she felt awful, she felt sick, she felt bad.

"I can't believe I did that."

"You can't, I can, I just saw you do it."

"It felt good, like a release, a release I've needed for a very long time."

By that last comment, Kurama and Hiei knew that Columbia had officially snapped. They watched as she began to pace around the table.

"Red, are you okay."

"Okay, OKAY, I'm better than okay, Hiei. I'm free for once."

"You're not okay Columbia, you need help now."

"I need help Kurama, I think you're the one who needs help, I'm not the one with a broken finger and bleeding."

Columbia looked down at her bloodstained hands and smiled like a mad woman. She walked herself around the boys to the sink and began to wash her hands.

"Hiei, let's get out of here."

As the two boys began to walk out of the house, a hand pushed the door shut.

"Where are you two going, I think it's time for everyone to come over, not leave."

"No Columbia, no one's coming here and we're leaving."

"No you're not Kurama, I'm not done with you yet and Hiei, do you want to have some fun as well."

Columbia grabbed both boys by the arm and pulled them back into the kitchen, not before locking and bolting the front door.

"Have a seat boys, I'll be with you in a sec."

Columbia walked down to the basement and left Hiei and Kurama by themselves.

"Kurama, what the hell's wrong with her?"

"How am I supposed to know, she's never done anything like this before, ever."

"Does the basement have a lock on the door?"

"Hiei, we can't do that to her."

"I know we can't, but we should. Look at what she did to you, do you want that to happen to anyone else."

Kurama shook his head.

Hiei slowly got up from his chair and walked to the basement door. He looked down the stairs and was horrified at what he saw. Columbia was indeed in the basement, but she was not concious or even alive, that Hiei knew of.

"Kurama, get down here now."

Kurama followed Hiei down into the basement and saw it, Columbia was hanging from the ceiling by a homemade nuse(sp?). The boys grabbed her and pushed her up so the bedsheets weren't putting pressure on her neck.

After finally getting her down, they noticed she was breathing, but barely.

They called for an ambulance and not long after it arrived taking all three of them to the hospital.

After about an hour, Kurama was stitched up and sitting in the waiting room with Hiei as the doctors got ahold of Shiori and Patsy, who were out of town for the weekend.

After a moment, the doctor came into the waiting room.

"We got her breathing back to normal, but I have to say, if you hadn't of gotten to her sooner, she would have died."

The doctor started to walk out of the room, but stopped and turned back to the boys.

"Um, that's right, Mr. Minamino, the police are ready for your report of the mugger that attacked you."

When the doctor left, Kurama turned around to face a very suspicious Hiei.

"What?"

"You told them a mugger did that."

"Yeah, and then I'm gonna tell them that Columbia was overwhelmed with guilt and she tryed to hang herself."

"Makes sense. What is she tells them something different?"

"She wouldn't risk it, not now."

Kurama walked out of the room, leaving Hiei to himself.

After amusing himself with the TV and the coffee machine, Hiei decided to go find out where Red's room was.

He stopped at the receptionist's desk and waited for five minutes before someone actually came to the desk. (A/N: Yeah, I've had that happen before, my hospital is so gay, in the emergency room you could be bleeding to death and they's make you sit and wait forever.)

"Could you tell me which room Columbia Minamino is in."

"Um let's see here, room 924."

Hiei nodded and went down the hallway and around the corner to room 924.

In the room, memories came flooding back to when Columbia had gotten shot.

"Geez, we spend a helluva lot of time in this damned hospital."

"Shut up, I'm trying to sleep here."

Hiei smiled and said, "Glad to see that you're concious. You had us scared there for a minute."

"You should have let me die."

"And why is that Red?"

"'Cause I'm a horrible person and I deserve it."

"Oh shut up, Kurama's covering your ass and saying that he was mugged. He's also saying that you felt guilty, so you tryed to hang yourself."

"HE WHAT?"

Hiei gently smacked Columbia on the head and she layed back down.

"I'll see you later, Hina's gonna kill me, I've here with you and Kurama all night."

"Yeah, fine, go."

She pushed him away, but not before he kissed her on top of the head.

"See ya tomorrow then."

She watched him as he walked out the door.

'Why didn't they just let me die?'


Ok, that's it, I'm tired and my fingers hurt so just go with what I have done.

Ugh, such a fun Saturday, well, actually it is, my cousin Jason is in town from California and come to find out he's met Tony Hawk and all those kind of people. HUZZAH!

Well, I'll spare so much reading and let you all rest up for the rest of the weekend.

Until next time.
