Chapter 20: Chains and Cries

The glare from the sun burned the eyelids of Team Urameshi sitting around the living room on the couches. Yusuke yawned loudly, elbowing a sleeping Kuwabara next to him. Kuwabara woke with a start, looking around as though he was hit by a train and didn't know how to act to it. Kurama and Hiei were sleeping next to each other, arms crossed and eyes heavily down. Yusuke blinked a few times, looking out the window lazily as Kuwabara snuggled next to a pillow, saying something along the lines of 'cuddly bunny'. Yusuke yawned again, placing his feet up on the coffee table in front of him. He thought for a second as his eyes were closed about what they were talking about last night…it seemed like just another crazy night with all the guys. Yusuke was suddenly jolted from his thoughts as Semerra and Hien came to mind. He jumped up, looking at all the heads in the room. Kuwabara to his right, Hiei and Kurama in front of him, but no Naka. Yusuke raised an eyebrow and looked around. Naka went to bed last night in her own room, probably grieving over the lost of her friend. Yusuke shook his head and laid back down, closing his eyes. He was team captain, and one of his teammates had been kidnapped and it was on his head. Before he could stop himself, his eyes drifted down, sending him into a deep sleep.

Naka had locked herself in her room so it seemed to Kurama that she was grieving on her own. Kurama was out in the forest outside, looking at all the different plants outside, wishing someone would make up a plan that could help Semerra. He sighed, sitting on a nearby rock, looking out into the forests distance. Hiei appeared by Kurama's side, his hands stuffed inside his pockets. "Naka's gone." Kurama looked up at Hiei, his eyes wide with shock. "What?" Hiei looked at Kurama. "She isn't in her room…I found her windows open and her fighting outfit gone. She must have gone to find Semerra." Kurama sighed loudly, his face now buried in his hands. "Why Naka? Why?" Hiei's bandaged hand was tightly balled into a fist, almost wanting to cut into his own palm. "I couldn't even protect Semerra…and now this?" Kurama looked up, his eyes now in tears. "I don't understand…why couldn't I see that she would have done this?"

Hiei sighed, sitting next to Kurama. "She is never predicable…sometimes…" Kurama bit his thumb hard, his mind going a mile a minute. "We know what they want with Semerra…but Naka doesn't have anything like that…what could they want with her?" Hiei humped. "Drew would do anything to get his dirty hands on her." Kurama shook his head, standing up. "If I had known about this before…I probably would have been able to stop this whole thing." "Don't blame this thing on yourself…I'm the one to blame." Kurama and Hiei sat in silence for awhile, until a strange demon energy started to fill the air. "Do you sense that?" Hiei looked up. "Yeah…a strong demon energy coming from…" Hiei and Kurama looked up at eachother. "The ocean…" Hiei stood up and started running towards the ocean with Kurama right beside him. They stopped before the ocean and saw in the middle of the ocean started to turn into solid ice. "Semerra…" Hiei looked up at Kurama. "You mean…" "The prophecy…they have started it…and it might be too late…"

Whispers were all that Semerra could hear from where she was. Her back felt the nice cool steel platform below her, but she didn't know what it was. Semerra's eyes flickered open seeing the concrete ceiling above her. She blinked a couple times seeing some light coming from all sides of her. She turned her head to see the room she was in was covered in candles. Semerra sat up, but couldn't move her arms or legs, meaning she couldn't sit up. Semerra cocked her head to the side, seeing her arms were chained with chains, steel chains, her legs also. Semerra's heart beat increased, feeling the cold metal on her back. She was on the table, slanted a bit in front of a wall almost twisting with the dim light. Semerra started to slowly struggle with the chains, but found that every time she tried, the chains drained some of her energy. A door opened from somewhere near here, startling Semerra. Drew and Mark flickered into the light, both smirking evilly. Semerra's stomach turned remembering what they had in store for her.

"Firefly…you are a heavy sleeper." Mark snickered, walking beside Semerra and playing with her hair. Semerra growled at Mark, tugging against the chains that only drained even more energy. "Damn you!" Mark laughed and stopped playing with her hair. "You are no fun anymore." "Well you aren't the old Mark anymore!" Semerra snapped back. Drew was walking over to the wall in front of Semerra as she looked at him curiously. Drew grabbed one of the candles from the side and bent down, placing the candle by his feet. Semerra gasped to see Naka chained to the wall, her eyes closed though she was clearly knocked out, Naka looked almost as if she fell asleep on her own. Drew's hand went to Naka's cheek, rubbing it gently. "Vixen…wake up!" Naka's eyes fluttered open, her mouth now slightly open. "Just a few more minutes Kurama…" Naka whispered. Drew growled and smacked Naka across the cheek, standing up. Naka gasped as the pain and shock ran through her. She looked up her cheek burning to see Drew looking down at her.

"I never want to hear his name come from your mouth!" He hisses at her. Naka glared at him, her blue eyes sparkling with rebellion. Drew looked over at Mark, nodding his head. "You might want to start now Mark." Mark smirked, taking a dagger from his pocket. "Ready Firefly?" Semerra looked at the dagger, her eyes filled with fear as he held it up. "No! No Mark! Don't do it!" Semerra cried, struggling more against the chains. Mark placed the dagger against Semerra's pale white arm, gently letting her feel the cold blade. "Don't worry…before you know it, it will be over with." Naka watched in horror, remembering what Kurama had told Hiei and her. Mark stabbed the knife deep into her arm, sending her into harsh cries of pain. "Semerra!" Naka cried, struggling against the chains that held her to the wall. Mark took the knife and stabbed it into her side, blood pouring out of the wound and onto the floor.

Naka was now in tears along with Semerra. Semerra was sobbing heavily as her blood splattered all over the floor. Naka watched the blood swirl around and soon turn into pure ice, spreading around the hard floor fast. Drew smirked beside Naka, watching the blood turn into ice. Mark soon had tiny cuts all over Semerra's body, leaving her face without a scratch on it. Naka turned away from her friend in front of her, not being able to take seeing her own friend being tortured, bled out. Drew looked down to Naka and frowned, bending down and forcing her to look at the scene in front of her. "Watch Naka…watch as your friend dies to give me the crown to the world!" Naka sobbed watching Drew make more cuts on Semerra. "Better get a better look Naka, because this is the start of you being by my side being queen of the world!" Naka and Semerra made eye contact for the briefest second, both thinking the same thing. They had each other through this hopefully… so, they truly were never alone. IMPORTANT MEMO! SCROLL DOWN!
