Blood red roses Chapter 8-

Kurama's P.O.V.

This feeling is so new. So different. So at peace.

My heart feels light.

This is peace. This is fulfillment.

This is what I've been waiting for.

Daisuke's P.O.V.

He smiled at the red head whose hand was still grasped in his. At this moment his smile was soft and as gentle as it ever got.

The other would be there soon but he wasn't worried. No nothing they did mattered now.

It was complete, The dreamy smile on Kurama's face confirmed it.

He was his. Now and forever.

And just like Ami ….not until death would they part.

Hiei's P.O.V

Every molecule of his being ached. Space and time blurred around him in a dizzying rush. His mind, though, seemed oddly clear.

The like a heartbeat breaking through the silence….

He will be okay. He will be okay.

Yusuke's P.O.V

Yusuke's eyes snapped open as his body connected with the cold hard floor. He swore quietly as he tried to rise. As he eased himself back to the ground he felt his hand graze something soft.

Kuwabara's body lay in a heap on the floor next to him.

Where the hell was he ? And why did he have this sense of urgency?

Kurama….Blood….Roses……Fading Energy….. oh shit……

Yusuke scramble to his feet ignoring the pain that shot through him. Grabbing Kuwabara roughly by the shoulders he shook the teen.

"C'mon you jerk! Wake up!'

His eyes opened for to slowly for Yusuke's liking. The dark hared teen dropped him to the floor roughly as he began to come too.

"What the hell was that for Urameshi?" Kuwabara yelled from his place on the floor. He reached up to touch his for head which was aching. He gasped as he brought his hand back down , coated in sticky wet blood.

So much damn blood.

"Shit." He mumbled under his breath ignoring Kuwabara.. Everything was so blurred in his mind. Yusuke wanted to move around and see just where the heck they were but he couldn't He need to find the others. He should contact Koenma. He should be ready for anything.

But this place was so cold. He could see his breath in front of him. It made it hard for him to think. Everything was flooding him at once. All that blood. Kurama. He should go save the day. Again.

But it was so damn cold.

There was no hint of light in the seemingly endless darkness that stretched out in front of them. Eyes should adjust by now, he thought but he could barely see Kuwabara beside him.

He hugged himself tight trying to ignore this cold. He looked around for some idea of what he needed to do. He needed to do something.

Kuwabara was up and standing beside him now. He too had gone silent.

He wanted Keiko. It was a silly and stupid thought. She would be no help and it would be selfish beyond belief to bring her into this hell but still…..he wanted her.

Keiko would be warm. She was always warm and light…so light. Maybe she could make him warm too.

But he was alone. Alone,alone,alone.

Why was he always alone? Didn't anyone care about him? Here was Kuwabara beside him but he doesn't feel this. Maybe he can see light. Maybe he's not cold. Maybe he thinks I'm warm.

He shook his head quickly as if to shake all theses thoughts away. What was happening to him? These thoughts weren't like his…he didn't hurt this much.

'Urrggghhh….damn it!"

Both the boys jumped as though they had been shot. A voice of total anguish echoed out around them. He still couldn't see but somehow he knew something was coming towards him.

"Oh shit." Kuwabara whispered

He went into his fighting stance. It wasn't even so much because he was afraid…as far as he could tell he was still numb but it was natural to do it. It was normal…it was what he should do.

"Show yourself." He growled trying to keep his arms from shaking.

"So you would attack your own detective." Hiei's usual mono-tone called out through the darkness. As he limped closer to him it was all Yusuke could do to hold back a gasp.

"Hiei?"

Hiei was drenched in blood. His right arm was charred and dangled uselessly at his side. His normal smirk was twisted up in pain.

"Shorty is that you?" Kuwabara called nervously as Hiei stopped about a foot away from them.

The look on his friends face was grim. He just gave them a quick nod before motioning to follow him and limping off in the direction he had just came from.

He stumbled along the best he could trying to follow Hiei's weak energy signal.

"Hey Hiei? Were exactly are we going?" He called out to the fire demon. He wasn't sure how long they had been walking or how far… he still couldn't see anything….

"To the fox. He's here. We just have to get to him." Hiei had stopped. He turned around to answer him saying it so simply that Yusuke had to think that it must have been painfully obvious.

"Where is here?" Kuwabara asked slowly next to him "It's really cold."

"Hn." Hiei laughed lightly in that superior way of his. He looked downward at his useless arm though and the smirk on his face fell away

" Do you know where we are detective? I was hoping that since you actually saw the significance of his energy level you would see the importance of this too."

He hated the total knowledge in his voice… He hated being proved stupid…. Sure he probably was but Hiei didn't have to flaunt his superiority to him!

"Well the way his energy level dropped then rose meant he was in emotional distress. His energy the last month r so has been like that but it wasn't that ….big…." He started trying to piece it all together

" And since his energy did it so quick…. He …he could…." His voice faded away , unable to say just what his friend might have done.

"Killed himself or been killed." Hiei finished bluntly.

Yusuke squinted to see his friends face's. Hiei was it's usual mask ,looking ghoulish due to all the blood. But Kuwabara's face was mixed with both shock and horror.

"Kill him self? But why would he do a coward thing like that!" the red head yelled in outrage.

"The fox is at a point in his life when suicide looks very appealing." Was Hiei's oh so matter of fact reply.

"But he may be alive still. He just maybe ….messed up….." Was the shakiest reply Yusuke could come up with.

They stood there then , the weight of what had been said falling heavy upon them.

"So what is this place Hiei?" He had to break the silence. He couldn't just stand there not doing anything.

Kurama was in trouble. It sounded so simple and child like but he could sum it up no other way. And he was facing that trouble alone in this cold, dark place.

"This is ,as far as I can tell a projection of Kurama's mind. The cold…the doubt….it's his feelings. Who ever has the fox is doing this. He wants us to know this. "

"You mean this how Kurama feels all the time! How does he take it!"

Hiei's P.O.V

The world seemed to freeze around Hiei right then at Kuwabara's words. He knew all this time what the fox was feeling ….to some extent at least. But now actually feeling this… so dark and cold …..and there was no light or warmth.

No way out.

"That is why we have to find him."

Daisuke's P.O.V

Their coming. It shouldn't be that hard to find us now that they've made it this far.

I'm ready though. I can face them…..

He turned to look back at the smiling red head who was still clutching his hand.

I will have my revenge.

They will pay.

Yep….another cliffie…..review and tell me how much I suck.
