Thoughts

Right then my blood ran cold. There is no way this can be real. Hiei…dead? Kurama opened Hiei's mouth, pinched Hiei's nose closed, and breathed in his mouth. Kurama looked at Hiei and saw no change. Kurama then pushed down hard on Hiei's chest for a few times, and then he repeated this for at least ten more times before the baka spoke up. "Kurama," Kuwabaka said. "We were too late." Right then I saw Kurama's heart brake and shatter. Kurama bit his lip and silent tears fell from his eyes.

"No," Kurama whispered. "NO!" Kurama then did the process again and again. Right now I began to cry, along with the baka. It felt like part of my world shattered beyond all repair. And we were just friends, I can't even began to imagine how Kurama feels. After a few more minutes of watching Kurama in denial, Hiei began to cough up water. We watched Hiei with wide eyes and gaping mouths. Hiei's eyes fluttered open and he looked at us…sort of. I say sort of because right when he opened his eyes, he got a good look of red hair. Kurama nearly tackled Hiei when he hugged him. Kurama was now crying loudly. Hiei patted Kurama's back and tried to comfort him. He looked at us and saw that we were also crying.

"Did I miss something?" Hiei asked in a hoarse voice. Right then Kurama let go of Hiei and looked him in the eyes.

"Kuwabara look away," I said. Kuwabara looked at me with a questioned look on his ugly face. But he did what he was told. Kuwabara just barely missed Kurama kissing Hiei as passionately as he could.

"Ahem!" I said, catching their attention. "If you don't mind, we have a demon to catch." Right then Kurama got off of Hiei, looking disappointed. "You can look now Kuwabara." He probably didn't even know why I told him to look away. Right then I remembered something. The blood! "Hiei does anything hurt?"

"Other than my lungs?" Hiei asked. I glared at him playfully. He damn well knew what I meant.

"Just answer the question."

"My right leg." Kurama untied Hiei's boot and rolled up Hiei's pants. Right above his kneecap, the bone stuck out of the skin.

"This is going to hurt," Kurama said, giving Hiei a bit of time to prepare. Kurama bit his bottom lip as he grabbed the bone. Hiei winced at this time and Kurama began to push the bane back into its place. Blood started to pour and Hiei bit his lip hard enough to draw blood. "Sorry." Hiei nodded and Kurama helped him stand.

"Come on," I said as we began to walk. Kurama was helping Hiei walk and we began to find the spiral path that led up. As we walked up the path, the voice returned.

"I see that you have made it this far…good. If you continue to follow this path, you will be led to me. You might want to hurry though, the other demons are hungry for blood." A puzzled look played before our face when we heard it. I looked back and saw many demons with weapons and crazed looks in their eyes.

"Hungry demons?" Kuwabara asked. Right when Kuwabara said that, they found us.

"Over there!" One of them yelled, the others began to run at us.

"RUN!" I yelled. Kurama picked Hiei up and we ran as fast as we could. Every once in a while, a spear would zip by us, but luckily, none hit. We continued to run as they caught up with us. We made it to the door with the demons right on our tails…no offense to Yoko. I got to open it seeing how I was in the lead; Kuwabara shut it after Kurama ran in with Hiei. Kuwabara and I locked the door, keeping the fucking demons out…well most of the bad ones…Kurama and Hiei don't count. "Oi! Vampire! Get the fuck out here!" I could barely see anything in the dark. All of a sudden, torches that were "apparently" around the room caught fire. Kurama put Hiei on his feet and we began to look around.

"Guys?" Kuwabara said as he shook like a wuss. "I think I found him." Kuwabara pointed to a pillar and up. The vampire jumped down, he was exactly Kurama's height. He had black hair that went to his waist; he was wearing a black pair of loose pant with a white shirt. A pendant with a huge ruby hung from a gold chain. His eyes were a deep blue that showed determination.

"Finally, I meant the Reikai Tentai," he said as he grinned at us. "Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Cruentus. I already know of you four."

"Good, now we can kick your ass and go home," I said matching his grin.

"Blood-thirsty huh?" Hiei said. Cruentus grinned wider.

"Yes, my name is blood-thirsty," Cruentus said; he began to walk near Hiei. A wall of plants grew from the ground and made a wall so he couldn't walk any closer to Hiei. Kurama stood there with a grin on his face as we all looked at him. "And that is one of the reasons that I wanted your files. To learn of your attacks…and to have your picture." Cruentus looked at Hiei when he pulled apart the plants. Kurama growled as he stood protectively in front of Hiei. I think that Kuwabara's gonna have problems when he tries to make fun of Hiei from now on.

"Can we kill you already? I'm seriously getting tired of listening to myself think," I said. Cruentus looked at me.

"Fine, but if I win, I get to kill you three, and mate with Hiei," Cruentus said. "Whether he has a mate already or not." Cruentus growled and sneered at Kurama.

"Am I missing something?" Kuwabara asked.

"Just shut up," I said as Kuwabara pulled out his Spirit Sword, Kurama his Rose Whip, and Hiei his Katana.

"Hiei," Kurama whispered, I know…I heard. "You can't fight with a broken leg."

"Watch me," Hiei said as we lunged. Hiei favored his leg when Cruentus moved out of the way. He moved faster than even Hiei could, without a broken leg mind you. Cruentus stood in the center of the room with his arms folded.

"I'll try not to go to hard on you," Cruentus said as he winked at Hiei. Kurama growled and I saw a flicker of gold in his eyes.

"Don't count on it, but you can hold your breath." A black and purple flame engulfed Hiei's right arm. "DRAGON OF THE DARKNESS FLAME!" The dragon headed straight for Cruentus, who did noting to stop it. The dragon hit the target and disappeared. We all stood there in shock. Cruentus grinned and opened his mouth, smoke poured out of it and Hiei growled. The tattoo appeared and we lunged again. Hiei went to strike his left side me, the right, Kuwabara the back, and Kurama reserved the right to get the front…most likely the face. Right as we were about to hit, a deep red energy wave hit us and we all flew into different directions. After I regained my senses, I looked around the room to see Kuwabara and Kurama start to get up also. Hiei was still on the ground, his face facing the ground. Cruentus was walking towards Hiei.

"Don't you even dare touch him!" Kurama growled and we all got up in a hurry after that. As we ran there, Cruentus reached out and flipped Hiei over. He then began to stroke the side of Hiei's face.

"Such a shame. Four broken ribs and a broken leg," Cruentus said as he licked his lips. Right then, Kurama went into full psycho mode. Kurama pulled out a type of seed from his hair and threw it at Cruentus. Before the seeds could reach him though, he combusted, leaving Kurama, Kuwabara, and I in shock. "Looks like you did not know that I am half fire demon, did you? Why did you think that I was attracted to Hiei?"

"SPIRIT GUN!" I yelled. Luckily, Cruentus wasn't expecting that. He was hit directly in the stomach. He held his stomach as he hit the floor.

"Ugh," Hiei moaned as he tried to get up. We finally made it there and Kurama helped Hiei up.

"Are you alright?" Kurama asked as Kuwabara and I tried to hit the damn bastard again. After three times of trying to hit the asshole, we got nothing. Kurama came with Hiei to help us in our fight. We began to get the upper hand when he said something.

"That's it! Playtime is over!" Cruentus yelled. Right then I knew that we were all going to die. He began to glow deep red and the room began to vibrate. Huge energy blasts were shot at each of us. And they hit their targets. Hiei was blasted through a pillar, Kurama into a wall, Kuwabara got a pillar, and I got the wall. In a few seconds, I was able to see again. Kurama was still out and slumped against the wall. Kuwabara was beginning to climb out of the rubble that buried him. Hiei was nowhere to be seen, well…or so I thought until I saw a pile of stones covered in blood.
