Ok there is a warning for this chapter if you are easly dissturbed by grapic scenes then don't read.

here goes then

"Hello, Kuwabara," Kurama said giving him a sinister smile.

" Kurama, what are you doing here," Kuwabara asked him in a stunned voice. "I could have sworn that it was Hiei chasing me."

Kurama laughed "Hiei had a meeting with Muroko so he asked me to fill in for him."

"Fill in for him?"

"Yep, he said it was time to finish you off . And since he could not be here as his best friend he asked me to do it for him."

"But what did I ever do to him or you for that matter. I thought you liked me?" Kuwabara asked in an incredulous voice.

"I'm not really sure but he said something about his sister and as for me well, I do like you but you can be rather annoying at times so I figured why not."

"Ok, let me get this straight you like me but you like Hiei better so you are to kill me."

"Yep, that's about it."

Kuwabara just stared at him, he had heard of many reasons for killing someone but this was just to weird. As Kuwabara lay there on the ground thinking about this. Kurama summoned some vines that wrapped around Kuwabara's arms and legs. Then Kurama had them lift him high enough that he could easily get his whip around him. But first he wanted to see how flexible Kuwabara really was. After all if was all part of the torture process.

Kuwabara was so deep in his thoughts that he didn't notice his change in position until he felt himself being lifted and then his arms and legs stretched passed their normal limits. Kuwabara screamed as he felt the muscles in his arms and legs tear.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Kurama said in a sickly sweet voice," did that hurt."

Kuwabara felt his mouth drop open as looked at him," OF COURSE IT HURT," he screamed.

"So sorry why don't I make it where you can't feel any pain in your limbs, hmm," Kurama said uncoiling his whip. He snap it out and wrapped it around Kuwabara's waist. When it was in the right position he put just enough pressure on it to break the skin of Kuwabara's waist but not enough to cut him in half. Kurama continued in this fashion for some time but on various parts of Kuwabara's body, until Kuwabara was getting light headed from the lose of blood.

"Have you had enough?" Kurama asked him.

But Kuwabara by this time could not speak as Kurama had at some point severed his vocal chords, he was just able to give him a hate filled glance.

"Pity, I had hoped that you could last longer than that," Kurama said looking at the young man hanging in front of him. By now the ground was becoming quite soaked from all the blood. The worst injury being jagged cuts on Kuwabara's wrists and neck. As Kurama had been cutting him with the whip the vines that had been holding Kuwabara had grown thorns and had also started cutting him. Kuwabara did not know how he was still alive but he did know that at some point he had started growing colder. Because of the lose of blood Kuwabara had become delirious and was slipping in and out of conciseness. His shirt had also started to turn black and stiff as the blood dried and there was a strong metallic scent in the air. Kurama brought his whip up one last time and swung it to wrap around Kuwabara's neck.

"Goodbye, my friend," he said as he pulled the whip taut cleanly snapping off Kuwabara's head thus causing it to roll across the ground. As Kurama calmly turned and walked away we look back and see the headless body hanging lifeless from the vines and the head forever staring in abject horror of knowing death was coming.

"Hiei, must you be so morbid and plus I'm not annoying. Another thing Kurama would not kill me just because you wanted him to," Kuwabara shouted standing up with his fist raised about to go after Hiei.

"Kuwabara, sit down," Yuusuke said to him reaching up to pull him back down on the log that they were sitting on.

Yuusuke and his friends were currently on a mission to find a demon prisoner that had gotten lose in Maki and was trying to find a way into the human world. Of course Koenma had not had many details for them, just that it would not be a good thing if the demon managed to get into the human world. So they had stopped as the sun was going down to find a place to sleep. Although they could have gone on for a little while longer none of them felt like hunting for the demon in the dark.

So after they had found a good camp site, gathered the firewood and gotten some security measures set up they had had nothing to do except just sit there until they got tired enough to go to sleep. But Yuusuke had suggested that they tell ghost stories or horror stories. Kurama had to coaxed Hiei out of the tree that he had decided to sleep in. But his condition had been that he go first even though he said that telling stories was stupid. When he had asked what changed his mind he said that he had had a brainstorm. So had come the Kuwabara killing story.

"Well does anyone else have a story to tell?" Kurama asked looking around at everyone.

"Not me." Yuusuke said. "I think Hiei told enough for all of us."

"True." Kurama replied looking at Hiei who had a self satisfied smirk on his face but when he noticed Kurama looking at him he got the familiar bad tempered expression on his face.

"Hn, I thought that it was a good story," he said defending himself.

"No, it was not shrimp," Kuwabara yelled getting to his feet yet again. Looking like he would love to do to Hiei what he had done to him in the story.

"You just think so because it involved you."

"Yeah and you would have not liked it if someone had told a story like that about you either."

"I wouldn't care 'cause I'm not as uptight as you."

"Why you bastard," Kuwabara cried charging at Hiei who flitted in the other direction.

"Come back here."

Kurama sighed as he watched them. "You would think that as long as Kuwabara has known him he would not let Hiei get to him." he said looking at Yuusuke.

Yuusuke nodded in agreement as Kuwabara run by them still chasing Hiei. Every time Kuwabara would get close enough to touch Hiei, Hiei would just step back. This went on for some time because Kuwabara just did not know when to quit. They circled the log for a few minutes before Kurama got tired of it and stuck his foot out to trip Hiei. Because Hiei had not expected Kurama to interfere he could not avoid the foot that Kurama had stuck out, so he tripped and went flying. Hiei had been going pretty fast so he flew quite a ways, but he managed to catch himself before he flew head long into a tree.

"God dang it, Kurama, why did you do that?" Hiei asked sounding confused and quite angry with Kurama.

"Because we are here for a reason and I thought you were more mature than to act like that."

"Hn, I was just having fun with the idiot," he said giving Kuwabara a death glare.

"I am not an idiot," Kuwabara cried again raising to the bait.

Kurama groaned dropping his head into his hands. "Kuwabara will you just go to bed," he said his voice muffled.

"Why are you treating me like a child?" he asked sounding that much more angry.

"Kuwabara just go to bed, please."

Kuwabara walked of griping about people not answering his questions but he went to bed just the same.

"Jezz, Kurama what is your problem?" Yuusuke asked.

"Nothing, Yuusuke," Kurama said to him sounding tired all of a sudden.

Yuusuke gave him a disbelieving look but he let it drop and he too went to bed.
