Black Tail

Chapter 3: Equaling the curse.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

"You know that I know that you know that I seen it! You seen me like that too so don't worry!" Yusuke shrugs, shoving another inch of his ham sub into his mouth.

"I told you not to talk about it, Urameshi." Hiei folded his arms over his chest.

The two of them sat on a bench that was part of a trail behind their mansion.

"But come on you have to tell them someday!" Yusuke says, stuffing the last of his sandwich in his mouth.

"Not until you do." Hiei says.

Yusuke glomps Hiei eternally. "See you will wait! That is true love right there!"

"No I just want them to think you're a freak along with me…" Hiei mutters.

"UH…." Yusuke stops glomping.

"So………" Yusuke taps his hands together.

X-

Yusuke howls at the moon, with some relief to be free again. After all, this wolf form of his is his normal form. Hiei's normal form would be a dragon, but the curse upon him kept his dragon locked away.

"This is awesome! How did you manage to catch it?" Yusuke spoke, chewing on a torn leg from a hawk.

"I have my ways…" Hiei answered, savoring his share of the bird.

X-

"I just need to know where the hell they keep going at nights! I mean, their excuse for night fishing……nobody fishes every night and never comes back with anything! They are way up to something, damn it!" Kuwabara yells, pacing back and forth by Kurama.

"They are probably just enjoying them selves." Kurama chuckles.

"What? Are you calling my buddy I knew forever, gay?" Kuwabara asks.

Kurama chuckles at Kuwabara's choice of words. "No, just kidding."

Kuwabara sat down, rubbing his hands together fiercely, maybe hard enough to cause a fire. "What? Dog hair?" Kuwabara stopped, holding the smallest stand of fur in his hand.

"It must have come hiding in our house when we weren't looking, damn dogs." Kuwabara added.

"I don't know why…..but I have a strange feeling that this fur……just isn't normal….or something." Kurama says, staring piercingly at it.

"You mean human like animal fur?" Kuwabara still holds the fur.

"Just maybe." Kurama nods.

XX-

"Wait. What is that moving in the trees…?" Hiei spoke, moving backwards as if to slowly guard Yusuke. Yusuke, he moved out of Hiei's path, and swiftly moved beside him.

"They're humans. I can see the light of their lantern and their movement and smell is very familiar." Yusuke spoke, mounting in his attack position. Hiei doing the same.

"What kind of animals are those over there?" Kuwabara whispered, grasping Kurama for safety.

"I think…..a wolf and coyote." Kurama said, stopping in his tracks.

Kurama and Kuwabara stood in front of Yusuke and Hiei stiffly. Both were shot from their soul due to fright of a death they both were probably about to experience.

"Run…." Kuwabara managed to whisper, but both didn't seem to budge.

"That's Kurama and Kuwabara!" Yusuke said to Hiei, of course the others only seeing it as barks and growls.

"So? If they couldn't trust us and had to come out here to try and spy on us…they lets pay 'em back!" Hiei growled. Yusuke smiled and growled fiercely too, ready for a charge.

"Shit!" Kuwabara cried, and then left Kurama to die.

"No! Come back!" Kurama cried, still frozen still.

Hiei and Yusuke jumped forward, both pouncing Kurama. They bared their teeth in Kurama's face as if asking a question, 'Ready for me to tear your flesh?'

Yusuke howled, raising his head to face the sky, stalling as Hiei tore at Kurama's flesh. His blood splattered every over the two's black coat, also seeming to leave his crimson color everywhere.

Hiei and Yusuke stopped, backing away a few feet, still baring their teeth and snarling.

Kurama gasped for a breath, coughing up blood through his mouth. He breathed deeply, still feeling the bleeding all over his entire body.

Yusuke collapsed, now just noticing what he has down. He licked his lips, removing the blood of one of his best friends. "I truly am a monster….like this." Yusuke whispered.

"This kind of stuff is what we are meant to do. Don't be foolish." Hiei said, still staring at Kurama as he suffered.

"I can help with that body there, fella's." A lady came along. She had a big black cloak on over her tore up black dress that didn't even reach her knees. She had maybe 6 medium sized loop earrings in each ear. She had black makeup all around her green eyes. Her nails came at least an inch of her fingers and the thing you couldn't miss was the blood stains that were permanent to her sunny blond frizzy hair. The moons glow helped them a lot to see this stuff.

The lady smiled then grabbed Kurama. She started dragging his somewhere. It was even hard to believe he was alive.

After a few seconds the lady disappeared into the woods into the deeper woods. Hiei and Yusuke followed them, following the scent of Kurama's blood that left a trail.

XX-

Yusuke and Hiei stopped as they came to an old beaten up shack. The door was sealed rather tight so the both of them jumped through a window. It was very dark and dusty inside. There was a flight of stairs to the right, where at the bottom a light came through a room.

Hiei and Yusuke climbed down the stairs, and entered the room. The lady was scattering a bunch of colored sand and liquids around Kurama. They could see that he was fully healed and that his blood was in no sight anymore.

A few seconds later there was a chanting coming from the woman then a large puff of a whitish gray smoke.

When it became all clear, the woman was vanished, but there was a silver fox sitting where the presence of Kurama was.

Yusuke and Hiei ran from the shack, the fox following. At least a mile away from the shack they stopped, and turned to the fox.

"Kurama?" Hiei panted.

The fox smiled, slightly waging its feathered tail. "Yep."

"Well aren't you just foxy." Yusuke laughed.

The night finally ended as that big sun came up with an orange shine.
