LAST TIME

With Beast out the way, they all ran to the source of the screaming. The ear piercing screeching grew louder and more urgent every step they took. The smell of blood washed over their sense in a nearly gagging scent. They finally reached the end and the sight stopped them dead in their tracks. Their mouths hung open, their eyes wide in terror. The earsplitting screaming seemed distant to them now. Nothing was real except what they saw before their eyes. Sankichi was still drilling you, quite literally, with the dildo of death. Your blood was everywhere underneath you. Your intestines still linked to Kurama. You gave another shrill scream that brought the guys back to the ugly reality. Enraged, Hiei charged Sankichi…

THIS TIME

Horror 11: Race to Escape

His sword gleamed off the lighting as he braced it for a devastating attack. Your screams drowned out the sounds behind Sankichi and he never heard the attack coming. Hiei sliced diagonally down. Sankichi felt the rush of air a second too late. He moved, barely enough to save his entire upper body from falling to the floor. Instead, his arm made the solo journey. A waterfall of blood poured from the severed stump. Red rage burned in Hiei's eyes, the fires of Hell in Sankichi. He released the trigger of the dildo base, letting it fall from your ravaged cavern, and turned fully to face Hiei. Hiei was blinded by rage; he attacked and attacked and attacked! Sankichi dodged to the best of his ability, but still lost appendages in the flurry of slashes of the sharp blade and the expert swordsmanship behind it. Hiei may have thought that swords lacked a taste of artistry, but he sure knew how to wield one.
In a minute, Sankichi had been reduced to twitching body parts and chunks of meat on the floor. His detached head lay under your body in a pool of blood, his arms clenching and unclenching on the floor space between Kurama and you, his torso, reduced to strips of meat scattered everywhere, his legs random sized chunks strewn across the room.

"You bastard, I will reform," Sankichi sneered at Hiei. "And when I do I'll come after you."

Hiei just growled at the talking head and stomped on it. Crushing the skull and brains and tissue. All of it squishing out from the pressure of his step. Sankichi was silenced for now, but he was right. Even with all the damage done, they were still in Purgatory, and one could not die when already dead. Kuwabara and Yusuke lost their stomach's contents over Sankichi's remains. When they finished puking their guts out, they wiped their mouths.

"Can I ask why you spread it all out?" Yusuke asked, absolutely sick to his stomach.
"It'll take longer for him to pull himself together," Hiei said. "Go release Kurama, and we gotta get out of here while we can."

Hiei looked up at you. Your face, from the eyes down, was washed clean with your tears that still streamed from your eyes. You had a violent tremble still controlling your body and every twitch made you cry out in pain. The stab wound at your neck was healed, as was the puncture wound the crossed over your breasts. The gash that Sankichi made when he gutted you had started to close and heal, even with your intestines hanging out. Your torso and legs were stained red with blood, and the lively red fluid still ran from between your legs. Hiei took a shuddering breath and walked over to Kurama to remove your intestines from him.

A+L+L+

Upon the return of the blue ogre, Koenma and Botan raced back to the room to Purgatory; steaming hot blankets in tow. Various doors to other rooms streaked past as they wasted no time in rushing to the room the bridged Spirit World to Purgatory. You would never think that Koenma could run that fast, without his little jetpack. (AN: The one he sported in the final round of the Dark Tournament, lol.) Koenma cursed as he ran, saying that he'd need to get important rooms like that closer to his office to save from all the cardiac exercise. They sprinted back to the room, nearly knocking over a duo of ogres carrying out another cold dead body. Botan stopped, eyes tear stricken, to make sure it wasn't the body of one of her friends and was relieved that it wasn't. She darted again towards the room behind Koenma and George. When she reached the room, it felt all the more colder. Koenma was kneeling between Kurama and your body, since you two were the first in, and put a hand on your frigid bodies. He signaled George over to wrap your body in the hot, hot towels while he put some on Kurama. Botan grabbed a few and put some on Kuwabara's body and Koenma and George got the last few on Yusuke and Hiei's body.

"Will it be enough?" Botan asked.
"I hope so," Koenma said, with a fearful feeling.
"That tone," Botan said, tears in her eyes, "What aren't you telling me?"
"Botan," Koenma said, "Let's just hope they are about to come out."

Y+O+U+R+

Kurama had regained his sight, in both eyes. The puncture wounds on his face were all healed. The cut that Sankichi made in his neck and chest to weave your intestine through had started to heal as well. Hiei knew he had to act fast or you two would be stuck like that for a while. He gently, but firmly, pulled your intestine out of Kurama's stomach, and unweaved it from his torso and out his mouth. Kurama gagged and threw up again, nearly getting it on Kuwabara. He continued to have dry heaves even while the younger boys unchained him. He collapsed to the floor on hands and knees choking and gagging, coughing up blood and continuing his dry heave spell. More blood and thicker fluids soaked into his pants. Yusuke knelt and made small circular motions on his back and he shook him off.

"…Go…make sure 's all right…" he said in between heaves.

Yusuke hesitated only a second before he nodded and stood. He went to your side. Hiei tucked your intestine back inside your body, they'd reposition themselves when the wound healed. He reached behind your blood sodden body and worked on unclasping your chains.

"Shit!" he cursed.
"What? What's wrong?" Yusuke asked.
"I need a fucking key for this damn thing!" Hiei said.
"You're not fucking serious? Damn it!"

Yusuke slammed his fist into the raised platform that also held you captive on the iron rack. It dented with a metallic sigh. Kuwabara jumped and let out a shuddering breath and you yelped and shivered more violently. Sankichi had pulled enough of his head together to let out a scary laugh; it seemed more airy and open without a throat to deepen and control it. Yusuke kicked the remains into a wall, splattering them again.

"Don't make jump like that," Hiei ordered. "She's hurt enough as it is. The more she shivers the more she hurts herself."
"Sorry," Yusuke said.
"S-Sankichi…" Kurama tried to speak.
"What about him?" Yusuke asked, looking along the remains.
Kurama shook his head, "His hand…his finger…key…"

Hiei wasted no time in grabbing one of Sankichi's severed hands and bringing it around to the locks of your chains. He shoved one of the fingers inside the lock and it clicked open. He moved to an ankle lock and tried the same finger but it didn't work. He cursed and tried another finger and another. None of those fingers worked. Hiei growled and went to the other side of you, to unlock the locks there. He tried all the fingers on the hand in the locks until they clicked open. Then Hiei tossed the hand to the floor and picked up Sankichi's other arm. He was able to unlock the last two locks on you and you almost fell to the floor on top of Sankichi's squashed head, but Hiei and Yusuke caught you. You shook violently in their arms and Hiei waved over Kuwabara. Kuwabara took a hold of you while Hiei took off his cloak and wrapped it around you.

"Now lets get out of here. Kurama, can you run?" Hiei asked.
"Run?" he almost smiled, "I don't know yet. Let's find out."

Kurama stood up, wobbly and took a step. The others followed him. Soon Kurama had worked himself up to a jog and was making progress in moving faster and faster. Hiei ran alongside him to catch him if he fell and opened the door when they reached it. They all stepped out into the black abyss.

"So how did Koenma say to go down?" Kuwabara asked.
"I say we free fall," Hiei said. "It took too damn long just running up."
"Just…get….me….the fuck out of here!" you said through clenched teeth.
"The pain does go away when we return to the living world, right?" Kurama asked.
"Here's hoping," Yusuke said.
"We're wasting time, lets start falling," Hiei said.

B+O+D+I+E+S+

"Lord Koenma! The towels aren't working!" Botan cried.
"Damn it," he muttered.
"Why?" she cried, "Why isn't it working!"
"Could it be too late?" George said and no sooner had he said it, he hit the floor hard.
"Don't. You. Dare. Give. Up. Hope!" Botan said through her sobs. "We can't give up on them now!"
"Botan…" Koenma said.

Even under the hot towels your body temperatures barely rose. In fact, it seemed that they dropped more. Needless to say this was making everyone very, very worried. Either you all came out now or it'd be too late…

H+A+V+E+

"Down we go," Yusuke said.

Everyone imagined the floor disappearing from under them and soon they were falling through the pitch darkness of Purgatory. People watched as they fell past them, their heads following the hopeful escapees. Some growled and followed after them, hoping to either hinder their escape or go with them. Yusuke looked up as he fell, counting the people they had following them. He cursed silently under his breath as some reached out for the group with sneers on their faces. Yusuke flipped them the bird and only seemed to fuel their anger; their hatred to the living.

"We got us a tail!" Yusuke yelled to Hiei.
Hiei turned and looked, "Damn…don't worry about them! We are getting out of here. Fuck them all!"
Yusuke smirked at that, "Nicely put."

Hiei turned back down to watch where he was falling and cursed just before he fell onto the large British man that deterred his rescue mission. His head was intact once more. The larger man seemed to be waiting for Hiei, for he had a smirk as he caught the fire demon by the neck and slammed him into the ground, that he knew was there. Hiei hit with a breathtaking thud. The Brit reared his fist back to slam it into Hiei's face when Kurama fell on his back, followed by you, Yusuke and Kuwabara. You all dog piled the large angry man, quite by accident, but you were there nonetheless. He growled and pushed free of the pile of bodies. He kicked Yusuke away, grabbed Kuwabara by the collar of his shirt and threw him into a wall a few feet away. He then kicked Kurama a few feet away, still holding Hiei to the floor. The Brit grabbed you by your hair and lifted you up. You winced and yelped.

"Aah, it's the lady from before," he grinned, "Glad to have you in my grasp. But first I must tend to this short one."

He dropped you to his side and turned back to Hiei. He repositioned his fist in the air and sent it surging at Hiei's face. Hiei took the hit square in the jaw, his hands clutching at the larger man's hand around his neck. The Brit kept on punching Hiei, over and over and over. Hiei kept worrying at the hand at his throat until he realized that he can't suffocate anyway. He mentally kicked himself for that and was about to kick the man's solar plexus when you suddenly latched onto the Brit's rearing arm. Hiei stared for a minute. Moving seemed to cause you such colossal pain, and yet you still did it to help him out. He only thought for a second before he was back to attacking the large man. You had distracted him enough for Hiei to get that kick in at his solar plexus. The man grunted, his eyes widening. He threw his arm to the ground to support himself on hands and knees, sending you flying to the ground in front of him. You cried out as you hit the floor, the impact sending shock waves juddering through your thrashed body. Hiei pushed the Brit off his with his feet and spun around and kicked the man at his temples. He hoped for a wall or something for his head to crash through and a wall did stand against the Brit's head. It looked much like decapitation with his head through the wall. Hiei went to you.

"Are you all right?" you asked.
"Peachy, you?" he asked.
"I feel worse than shit, get me outta here if you want me to feel better," you said.
"With pleasure," he smiled gently at you. "You guys all right?"
"Sure," Kurama sat up holding his arm over his ribs.
"A little bloody but fine," Kuwabara said, wiping his lip of blood from the impact of the invisible wall.
"I could have done without the kick but lets go," Yusuke said.

Hiei lifted you onto his back and nodded at the others. You all were about to continue on your way when the other people that were following you stopped for a 'chat'. One man, a slim muscled brown guy, came down from above them with his arms over his head, hands clasped together to whack Yusuke with a powerful hit to the back of the head. At the same time, a woman came clawing at Kurama, tearing his shirt off his back. Kuwabara backed up as a duo of kids tried to tackle him. Hiei jumped back and put a wall between him and the offending attacker.

"We don't have TIME FOR THIS!" his voice was an angry growl and grew to a yell.

Kurama kicked the woman back and drew out his rose whip and in the same fluid motion, cracked the whip at her face. She screamed and backed off; apparently this game was too much for her. Kuwabara grabbed the two boys that tried to beat him up and bonked their heads together and shooed them off with the woman. They protested until he glared and drew his spirit sword; then they hauled ass. Yusuke hit had hit the floor pretty roughly and was about to get dragged away by the brownie that attacked him when Kurama snapped his whip at the man's hands, clasping them together. He ran up and punched the man to the floor and lifted Yusuke to his feet. Without waiting for more people to attack they all quickly began their descent. You and Hiei falling first, followed by Kuwabara and Kurama and Yusuke.

"Are you well, Yusuke?" Kurama asked.
"Yeah, just got sucker punched…that bastard," he replied. "What about you? Those cuts look kind of bad."
"We're in Purgatory," he said. "It will heal."
"What can kids their age do to get sent here?" Kuwabara asked.
"I'd rather not know," Kurama and Yusuke shrugged.
"There's the end!" Hiei yelled with great relief to his comrades.

They all looked down. Sure enough, Hiei was standing flat on his feet, no longer falling. The large door that they had come into Purgatory through stood in all its relieving glory. They heard an enraged yell from above and glanced up to see Sankichi freefalling down amazingly fast and completely healed.

"How in the fuck!" Yusuke cursed.
"FOOLS! I'VE BEEN HERE WAY LONGER THAN YOU ALL! I KNOW HOW TO HEAL FASTER!" Sankichi yelled down to them.
"Damn it!" Hiei growled. "Just go through the damn door!"

Hiei pushed you into Kuwabara's arms just as a knife impaled his shoulder. You stood and cried out for Hiei but he ushered you towards the door.

"We'll hold him off long enough for you to go through the door. Kuwabara go with her. We'll be right behind you!" Hiei said.
"But-" you began.
"NO BUTS! JUST DO IT!" Hiei yelled.
"Come on," Kuwabara pulled you towards the door.

You let yourself be pulled slowly by Kuwabara to the door. At that moment Sankichi landed at the same level. He reached out and Hiei tackled him, along with Yusuke and Kurama. Kuwabara had the door open and stood in front of it. You watched as Sankichi pulled another knife and rammed it into Hiei's temple, the blade cutting right behind his eyes. He froze for a moment as the sensation of complete blindness took over him. Everything slowed. Kuwabara was like an insect buzzing around your ears as you watched Sankichi disable your other two close friends. He pulled a long blade and pinned Kurama to a wall, piercing his heart. Kurama writhed and struggled to free himself and Sankichi thrust another blade into his neck. Yusuke leapt at Sankichi and was taken back with a quick slash of, yet another one of Sankichi's blades. He froze and turned to you and Kuwabara.

"Run!" he yelled at you.

As he said that, his mouth slit open, making the phrase smiling from ear to ear much more literal. Blood flooded from him mouth and his bottom jaw fell slack, his mouth hanging open. Yusuke coughed on the blood sliding down his throat. Sankichi hit him with a punch to the gut.

" come on!" Kuwabara grabbed your wrist and began to lead you to the door.
"But the others!" you said. "I can't leave them behind."
"We have no choice! This is what they want! Better them than you," he said pulling you.

You stared at your friends for a second before making your decision. You turned towards Kuwabara, tears glistening in your eyes and a sad smile on your face.

"Tell the others goodbye for us," and you pushed him into the door.
" no!" he yelled trying to keep his hold on you.
"Thanks a lot, Kuwabara," you said, more tears running from your eyes.
"Noo!" he yelled as his hand slipped over yours and he disappeared into the door.

You turned around to see Sankichi's face only centimeters from your own.

"Boo," he smiled, his crisp black skin crinkling around the edges of his lips.
"Boo yourself," you said and reached a hand back to the door to test a theory.

You touched the swirling space inside the door and met with a solidness. Your heart felt heavy. You truly wouldn't be able to leave. You couldn't pass through the door.

D+I+E+D+

"Nooo!" Botan let out a great sob and fell into Koenma's arms.

Her body shook with sobs as her greatest fear came true…
