Chapter 3

I had rushed home into the dark depths of my own room. The dim light that spreaded in one corner of the roomhelped portray the essence of it. I lay on my own bed staring at the dim light, as if I expected something from it. Maybe, maybe not. But, now,I was lucky that okaa-san and everyone else wasn't here.

Though, that girl. Why won't she leave me alone? She won't stop asking where Kuronue is. I could feel Youko's emotions rile up. I can't even get a grip! I'm completely losing control over my emotions! These tears won't stop falling. "Ahh!" I felt a sharp pain directed towards my heart. This can't be happening!

"Youko-kun! What's wrong? I want to help you!" The girl's voice, Kagome's voice. Why can't she leave me alone? She won't stop tormenting me.

Blood. The cold rain that poured down so hard. Those dead eyes. The tattered body that oozed out blood. "Good riddance."

"Ahh!" I screamed out once more. I breathed out heavily. I can't help but feel like I want to commit suicide. I can't stand this torment! This-this punishment!

I tried to speak, but I couldn't help but freeze. Everything just turned black and white in my vision. Everything went so slowly. I saw Kagome. She was smiling at me. That kind smile that always turned every frown upside down. Though… wasn't she the cause of the rip Koenma spoke about?

"Kagome…" I called out, my voice screeching a bit.

Suddenly, everything was back to normal. She was gone, and everything was back to normal. I could feel the darkness creep up, and I embraced the only comfort I could find- my nightmares.

"I love the rain, guys!" shouted Kagome, as she twirled around in the cold rain. "How can you be such stiffs?"

She marched up to Kuronue and me. "I don't want to be a wet dog," I said.

She glared at me, and I could not help but smirk at the sight. She looked so beautiful, even if she's not mine. "Come on!" She dragged us out into the rain.

"But, won't you get sick? After all, you are human," Kuronue asked out of concern. That was one of many thing great about him.

"So…? As long as you two are alright, I'm going to be okay," Kagome said.

She then latches her arm around Kuronue's. I smiled, though inside I felt jealousy burning within. I envied Kuronue, even though I am the most notorious thief, the most handsome one at that, the most strategic, the most cunning, and everything at that. I may have been a womanizer, but I couldn't help but want Kagome as in… love, love. The way humans love each other when they get married.

"Achoo!" Kagome sneezed.

Kuronue sighed, as if knowing that would happen. "Let's go inside."

"But…!"

"Do you want to get really sick?" I asked. Kuronue picked Kagome up bridal style, before she could even answer. We had headed towards a cave not far from where we were.

Kagome and Kuronue were huddled up near each other, as I looked out at the rain. The rain dropping down the heavens was the only thing that kept me sane. I couldn't help but want to rip them apart. I hated it. I hated myself. I couldn't help but shout and scream out my problems. However, I just couldn't do that because that'd ruin my reputation.

I looked at the couple in the corner of my eye just to see them share a quick kiss. I stood up startling them a bit. "I'm going out to check on something. I'll be back later." I ran, fast and farther away from them. My head was pounding with rage. I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to kill Kuronue or Kagome.

I quickly stopped, and I saw one of those Spirit Defense Force. I had to run, and I did. I felt spirit energy fired towards me, and I ran as fast as I could.

I jumped, and the nearest tree was blown up. I kept running and darting as these bullets of spirit energy tried to kill me. I had to reach one of the hiding places I created. I took out one of my seeds and poured my youkai energy into it. I threw it behind me, having it explode. That diversion should buy me some time.

I quickly made a turn and stopped. I slightly panted but stopped as I heard footsteps dash towards here. I ducked. They had rush passed me.

I smirked but winced as my side ached. They actually were able to hit me. Next time they won't. As soon as they were miles away from me, I trudged back to where Kuronue and Kagome were.

-

Everything went so fast after that day. It was as if it just happened yesterday when it was just a week from now.

I stood right in front of Kuronue and Kagome back into the rain. I could remember that smile she had. The sad smile of regret. Though, what regret? I couldn't believe anyone would kill such a harmless, innocent girl. No. Kuronue's harmless, innocent girl.

"Just let her go. She's gone, Kuronue. Nothing can bring her back." I couldn't even believe what I said. I couldn't do anything for her. I couldn't even cry for her, so I looked away.


"I-I just can't, Youko! You knew that I love her! I can't forget her! I would never forget her!" Kuronue yelled, almost completely breaking.

I looked at Kuronue, my eyes softening a bit. "I know, Kuronue, I know. I know you can't forget her. I know you can't forget… Kagome."

"Who could! And, once I find that bastard, I'll skin him alive!" declared Kuronue, as anger rolled off his aura. For once in my life, I have never been frightened because my hands were stained with innocent blood.

Kurama's eyes opened to greet the darkness. He was panting slightly, as he felt sweat drip down his face. He sat up, taking off the covers that were over him. He looked over to the clock which read 2:35 a.m. He groaned but stood up. He knew that he couldn't fall asleep even if he tried.

Kurama pushed open his closet's door to get some clothes to wear. His mind pondered on the dream. His hands as he stared at them were holding little pools of blood.

"Nani!" He let the pool of blood drip down to his carpet, as he jumped back. For once in his life, Shuuichi Minamino AKA Youko Kurama was so frightened.
