Yusuke shoved his sweaty hands deep inside his pocket, leaned back against the tal sycamore tree, and closed his eyes. What would have happened to him if I had gotten there in time? He dug his foot into the dirt. Would things be different if I had?Yusuke twisted his neck to the right, letting it expel a series of cracks.
"Ahhh-What the---?" His hands emerged from his pocket, feeling the top of his head. He could have sworn he felt something fall on it, but there was nothing there.
Flashback
"Somebody....! Help!!!!" Kurama shouted, his eyes wide with fear as the enourmous shadow took another threatening step towards him.
"Don't worry....it's just a quick swing.....Who knows? I might just miss and strike you're head!!!" an eerie voice whispered. The shadow was just two feet away now. It raised its axe and struck Kurama's stomache.
KURAMA!!! The red-headed half demon raised his head weakly at the sound of his name, not quite sure if someone had called him. Then, the world became dark.
"How is he doing, Genkai?" Hiei asked staring at Kurama's motionless body.
"He took quite a blow, that's for sure. And he lost a lot of blood, too. But none of his organs were struck." Genkai said. "What the hell was he doing out in the woods by himself anyway?"
"Kurama goes out there...from time to time....to think......to write........"
"Oh," Genkai placed a hand on Hiei's shoulder. "He'll be concious soon, I promise. Go get some rest."
