---The Prophecy That Was Destined To Join---
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha and Yu Yu Hakusho and Co.
A/N: HEY! You are SO lucky that we got out of camping early this morning when it started to rain .
And you're also lucky that I haven't got writers block yet. You know, I probably never will lol.
(Note on paper) I'm writing this inside my tent right now. Anyways, what happens when you basically run out of paper? Shake that thought! It won't happen! I just won't, right? Right?
Chapter 13: Silently Broken
Sango shrieked and the floor beneath her gave way.
"Sango!" Kohaku shouted.
She felt a hand grasp her arm and looked up.
Hiei's POV
Hiei saw Sango fall and rushed and grabbed her arm.
He saw her look up.
'Why did I even bother?' I feel so drawn to her, but a ningen? Ha!'
"Thanks" Sango blushed and it went unnoticed, thankfully, for her.
"Hn" he answered.
"Ok guys! We've got to fly away because running will only set off the castle traps!" Kurama yelled out.
Hiei and the rest of the group turned to look at Kurama.
End POV
"Gotcha there! Kitaji! My cat can only carry 3 people! I guess she'll take Kuwabara, Genkai, and Kahyi" They hoisted themselves on and flew to the temple.
Sango then stepped forward, "Kirara! She can only carry 3, like Kitaji. Maybe…Yusuke, Hiei, and Kohaku! Shippo can sit on Yusuke's lap"
"What!" Yusuke protested.
Hiei snorted, "I don't need any help"
"Just get on!" Kyoshi screamed as a pillar crashed in front of her.
Kirara rapidly flew off later.
Botan stepped up, "I can take Kyoshi on my lap and someone else!"
"Take Miroku! We'll be fine! Don't worry!" Sango shouted.
'Not the perfect time, but it's a great way to get Botan and Miroku together'
"Sure- HENTAI!" A slap was heard and they dragged an unconscious Miroku off on her oar.
The last flying device was off.
"Come on! Follow me quickly!" Kurama ordered.
They made haste down the hallway, occasionally ducking or jumping to avoid the bits of rubble. They miraculously dodged all the traps, which probably were already set off in the first place.
Front Gates…
Finally they made it up front and jumped to safety onto the grass. Turning around, they longingly looked at the half-fallen castle.
"Kurama!" Kagome screamed desperately, "KURAMA!"
She ran forward, only to be grabbed by Sango, "It's too dangerous!" after being sure that Kagome wouldn't run, she let go.
Kagome collapsed in a heap on the ground, sobbing.
Minutes passed and finally, Kirara arrived and Sango helped Kagome get seated. She was drowning in her thoughts of grief.
Genkai's Temple…
Everyone sat silently in the living room, all wondering the same thing, 'Is everything alright?'
Their thoughts were interrupted when the sound of a door opening and closing reached their ears.
Immediately, they ran through to the front door.
Sango was standing some rips in her clothing on her sleeves, where the rubble snagged the cloth. She was supporting Kagome.
Kagome was in the same condition as Sango, half standing and also covered in leaves and mud. She was sobbing like there was no tomorrow.
"Where's Kurama?" Yusuke asked aloud.
Kagome fell on her knees and cried even harder.
The group grew silent.
Trying to brighten the mood, Botan suggested that they got cleaned up and got some rest too.
The only responses were a rustle, then trudging down the hallway.
Yusuke just stood there, staring at the spot where Kagome was kneeling a couple seconds ago, 'What happened to Kurama?'
One Month Later…
Kagome was growing weary. Sango was in the same mood since her sister-like figure was weary too.
They sat there, waiting, just expecting him to show up any minute and greet them politely.
But it wasn't to be.
Everyone else was gloomy. Now they just thought, 'What happened that day after we left?'
The two wouldn't mention anything. They just mourned in silence and kept quiet.
The whole group decided to take a walk in the forest that day.
Forest Beside The Park…
"We're still researching endless hours about the prophecy" Koenma had decided to come along and access the situation that day, "Anyways, what did happen to Kurama? We can't deal with this until we find out"
Silence.
"Eh, anyone? I'm sure that Kagome and Sango know, don't you?"
Silence.
"I'll take that as a yes, so, how have you been?"
Silence.
"Ehh…hello? Anybody?"
"Err…can you SHUT UP?" Hiei was very…agitated.
Behind them, they hear water dripping. Turning around, everyone gasped.
Kagome and Sango were standing there in utter shock. In their hands were the lilies they possessed.
Sango was just fine, but Kagome… water dripped down her arm.
Her lily was…turning fresh. It was unfreezing and Kagome had done nothing.
With a click, it dropped out her hands and onto the ground. (The still frozen part landed, making the noise)
On it's side, the flower started oozing out a thick, golden substance.
Kagome fell in a heap after that.
"Kagome!" Botan cried out.
"What are we going to do?" Shippo wailed.
"Let's get her back to Genkai and Yukina! Koenma and Botan research more about the prophecy, this is big trouble!" Miroku moaned.
"Yukina…" Kuwabara drooled.
"Baka! This isn't the time!" Yusuke screamed.
They attempted to get her lily and body back to the temple. She was still aware of everything, just very weak and helpless at the time.
Underground Makai…
Karasu opened the door to a room.
He had recovered fully from battle and was near the end of his plans.
Swinging the iron door open, it revealed a gleaming golden cage. Inside that cage, was a weakened form, kneeling in an effort to stay awake.
Karasu laughed evilly, "You can't possibly do anything in there"
The figure's voice was hoarse, "I want to know your plans"
"Knowing that you can't do anything about it anyway, Kurama, I'll tell you" Karasu began. (And my friends thought he was dead! Honestly, why would I end the story here? LOL)
Kurama shifted inside the cage.
'Why do I feel so weak? I know it's been at least a month, but why?'
/Well, obviously because you've had nothing to eat or drink and the cage is a special metal, meant to drain out your energy/
…
"So, first of all, I know the prophecy's secret"
Kurama immediately jerked up, alert, although it cost a quarter of his energy.
Karasu chuckled, "The flower. When the person grieves endlessly for over a month about betrayal, heartache or death by love, they become weak and the flower oozes out solid goo. After a week of that, if the grieving doesn't stop, they die. End of prophecy"
Kurama then realized, 'I've been here for over 1 month and Kagome might think I'm dead! Shimatta!'
Karasu the replied to the disturbing silence, "Want to see an example? I've got the perfect one"
He took out a mirror and placed it inside the cage.
"You see, if I can't break them, I kill them. Enjoy" he said, and closed the door behind him.
He stared at the mirror in terror, viewing the gloomy atmosphere, to the silence, from the dripping water, and Kagome's downfall.
'I've got to get out of here!' Kurama thought, 'Or Kagome will die!'
So…what do you think so far? Please review! Onegai! Ja-ne!
Stay tuned lol.
