Darkmoonroses: Hello all welcome to chapter 13 of Demons in love. It took me awhile to write this chapter because I've been busy with most of my school stuff. I also been being distracted with Bleach at . lol. Though anyways its finally completed. Remember I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho.
Chapter 13
Yusuke rolled his eyes and looked towards Kuwabara. "Kuwabara, are you kidding me?" Kuwabara finally listened to Yusuke and shrugged. He had no clue as to what he was talking about. Yusuke crossed his arms and gave him an angry glare and his eye was twitching as if he wanted to kill him.
"Man, I didn't fucken say anything, so get off my case."
"Then if you didn't say anything…then," they both stared down at Kurama who was still out cold.
The faint whisper appeared again, "Yus…ke, save, Hi…ei." His lips became motionless once again. They stared into Kurama hoping to hear anymore. Kuwabara then looked at Yusuke. "You heard the fox, go save the shrimp."
Yusuke jumped up and angrily walked towards the corridor. "Damn it, why is it always me that has to be the hero. Kuwabara, you do it."
"Nuh-uh man, Kurama asked you to do it. Save the runt before, something else happens. We need to get everyone out alive. I'll stay here and watch Kurama until you guys come back. If something happens, we will run like hell."
Yusuke gave him thanks and headed out back to where they once were. Oh how he just wanted to be back home now and just play a few mindless games at the arcade. He couldn't take this running around bullshit anymore. Keiko is probably worried sick about him by now. Though, he has been gone for this long before, and she has respected that. Suddenly the mirror in Yusuke's pocket began to ring.
Keonma appeared on the screen. "So, how's it going, Yusuke? Are you guys out of Demon World yet?"
"Pacifier breath, this is no time to be asking me for shit. No, we are not out of Demon World by the way. This mission has gotten outta hand. We have saved Kurama, but I've to save someone else now."
"Hmm, what I thought with your kind of power you guys would have this done by now. Damn it."
"Why the hell are you angry? You aren't the one going around saving everyone's ass."
Koenma quieted down and calmly stared at Yusuke. Yusuke kept running as he waited for the toddler to say something else to annoy him with. "Koemna, Hiei is in trouble I think it is like the Dark Tournament where he used up too much energy. Though, I could always be wrong. Weird thing is it was Kurama who told me to save him."
"Odd and you supposedly say that he is still unconscious from the last time we talked."
Yusuke nodded. "Well get your ass moving, Hiei will kill you if you let either of them die."
"I probably would have already gotten there if you hadn't called me!" Yusuke shut the compact closed, then received another ring. Botan appeared. "Hello, Yusuke. Have you rescued our other two demon friends yet?"
"No, and I can't with all of you nagging."
"Oh, but Yusuke we are so worried."
"Ke-Keiko, what are you doing on this screen?"
"Checking up on you what does it look like? I just want to make sure that you are alright. You know because I care."
Yusuke rolled his eyes and sighed, he was worried about her too. At least he knew that she was safe, and that Masao didn't try to pull anything like the four saint beasts did. Though, he knew that she can take care of herself. Besides she was with Botan, Genkai, and Yukina still.
"I love you too, Keiko." Yusuke smiled and put the compact mirror back into his pocket.
Back at Genkai's temple, Keiko had a stunned look to her face. He rarely ever said that to her, but she wondered why she was so shocked. But still she loved that Yusuke said that he loved her. It made her beam with joy. She loved him too for a very long time.
Yusuke picked up his speed and quickly headed to where they once were when the fight began with Masao. Another couple of demons showed up blocking Yusuke's way into the next part of the castle. The demons stood back to back, arms crossed and with a smirk of happiness towards Yusuke. Yusuke growled and knew that he didn't have time to be dealing with these pathetic demons, but if they wished to die so be it.
"Yue, isn't this human so rude and won't even stop just to chat with us."
"I agree Akeno. Though, I think we are in his way to save his little dragon friend. Oh what was his name again? Masao went on and on about killing four strong demons, but of course his dreams failed."
Damn it here we go again, thought Yusuke. Talkative demons always made him annoyed. They were just in his way. "REI GUN!"
He fired and the shot headed straight towards the two demons. It made a direct hit. The smoke and debris cleared away and suddenly the two demons reappeared in the doorway and stood next to each other. Yue brushed herself off and fixed her hair. She brushed her hair to get the dust out of it. Yusuke for some reason really enjoyed the fact that her hair was an unusual mix of purple and pink. The pink was just enough to make it stand out in a unique way. Yue was dressed very differently from what he normally saw in Keiko. She had a very low cut top that basically only covered her breasts. Then she was wearing a short, but very cute mini skirt. Yusuke was in awe of Yue. He shook himself out of his own world, and remembers about what Kurama had told him.
Fuck another wasted shot, this angered Yusuke more. Akeno looked at Yusuke and had a look that he was ready to kill him. He then stood in a fighting position and moved his body in a slightly weird way. Suddenly Yusuke could feel the ground shaking and the stone floor shot him up to the ceiling. The floor crushed him up against the ceiling as he took on the agony of bones attempting to break. Though, of course he was stronger than that. Then Yusuke could feel his body being flung up against the wall by another pile of stone. Ah fuck this, he thought to himself. Why the hell am I getting beat up by a bunch of rocks?
A clearing came into view and he saw Yue talking to Akeno. He couldn't really make out what they were saying since it was in a whisper. "Akeno, stop it now."
"Yue, I thought we were supposed to kill them."
"Masao is dead, Akeno. We are no longer needed for his insane plot of trying to kill these humans or demons or whatever the fuck they are."
Yusuke stood up and brushed the dirt off of him. He replied, "Well the answer to your question is that I am in fact a demon. Don't you demons remember?"
Yue and Akeno stared blankly into Yusuke's eyes. "Oh yes now I remember you were the son of one of our former great kings," replied Akeno. Yue nodded in agreement. "Then I'm still guessing one of the members in your team is still human right. Is it that guy who always wears that blue uniform?"
"Now you get it," applauded Yusuke. "Yes three of the members of Team Urameshi are demons: Kurama, Hiei, and me. I thought you guys would have figured this one out by now."
"Hmph," this remark got Yue a little angry with Yusuke, but she liked him for some reason. There was just something about him. She wanted to put her finger on it. "Yue, what's up?"
"Oh nothing," she turned her head as she started to blush in front of Yusuke. Akeno rolled his eyes. Please don't tell me that she likes him. God can this day get any worse? Yue brushed her hair out of her face and looked at Yusuke. "If I remember correctly you wanted to finish this fight because of another demon that is lurking around here."
Yusuke crossed his arms, and liked where this was going. "Yes, and I rather not kill you, but if you get in my way I might have to."
"Let's make a deal Yusuke. That's your name, is it not?"
He nodded his head towards Yue. She replied "If you defeat my friend Akeno or me we shall take you to the dragon demon."
Yusuke paused to sink the offer in. He then added, "What if I lose?"
"If you shall die in the process of trying to defeat us, then all of you die. A quick an easy death, because most of you are already on that path." She suddenly gave Yusuke a girly evil laugh, but it was cute. Yusuke could see that Akeno was staring at her. There was clearly something going on between them.
Yusuke had a plan. He needed to get to end this fight quickly and retrieve Hiei. If it is true that basically all of them were on the verge of death or at least three, he needed this to end. Kuwabara even told him that he was getting his energy back, but if that was a lie, oh he so was going to get it later. He could feel Kurama coming back; he was even trying to speak to them. Surely there wasn't enough damage Masao couldn't have done to the fire apparition. Yusuke really hoped that he wasn't the last one standing of their team already.
Yusuke was snapped back to reality as a fire ball came and nearly missed him. "Shit," said Yusuke as he started to run in circles around the hall. Yue and Akeno split up and headed in different directions of each other. Yusuke finally then decided about who he was going to kill. He had no choice as he is clearly running out of time. He also needed someone to guide him throughout the castle.
Akeno stood his ground and guided his energy to throw more stones at Yusuke. He dodged all, but the flames that Yue shot at him. They scorched his uniform as they burned his skin. He landed on the ground in order to get his breathing back in order. Then Yusuke suddenly jumped into the air and then plowed Akeno into the ground. Yue clenched her fist as her friend was being clabbered by Yusuke. Her purple hair flowed in the air as her energy soared. She engulfed a huge sum of air, then flames shot from her mouth and hit Yusuke. The flames backed him up against the wall. The whole top of Yusuke's uniform disappeared, and now the flames were burning his chest. He gritted his teeth and let Yue get closer to him.
Akeno got up and flung two chunks of earth at Yusuke. The earth locked both of his wrists to the stone wall so that he couldn't escape. He then stood behind Yue as she continued to use her power in order to destroy Yusuke.
"Get him, Yue," cheered Akeno as he could feel Yusuke's energy depleting.
"I'm trying, but he's way to strong for me. I think my strength is gonna give out soon."
"No, keep trying. I know for a fact we are supposed to destroy them. We have to prove that we are better than that disgraceful demon we had to call master."
Yue agreed by putting more power into her fire burning of Yusuke. Yusuke suddenly yelled "Ahhhhhh, I'm sick of this. I will not let you defeat me." Yusuke then broke free of Akeno's spell of binding rock. He clenched the wall like a spider as Yue calmed her powers down. Yusuke suddenly leaped off and kicked Yue in the face. She fell to the ground and then yelled "Reigun!!!"
The shot hit Akeno dead on and went through him clean. His face was so surprised as he went down to the ground. Yusuke flipped and landed on his knees. Yue got up and looked around she went into shock as she realized that Akeno was injured. She turned him over and swept upon him.
"No, no, noooooooooooooooooooo."
Tears flooded down her face and onto Akeno's body. She screamed his name as she could feel his spirit floating away. He suddenly slowly opened his one more time and breathed heavily. He whispered "Yu-e"
"Akeno, Akeno. Please, please d-don't g-go. I need you."
He stroked her hair and smiled. "Y-ue, I"
Yusuke stuck his fingers in his ears as a horrific scream filled the structure. Yue's screams could be heard throughout the depths of the castle's land.
Meanwhile, Kuwabara covered his ears too as he also heard the deathly scream. Kurama didn't flinch an inch. Suddenly the walls started to shake as they started to crumble.
"Oh, shit man. Kurama we gotta run."
He scooped up Kurama and headed out of the corridor. He got in tune with his senses and sensed which way he should travel.
Flames arose as Yue's eyes glowed in rage at Yusuke. He looked bored as she crept closer to him. He crossed his arms and replied "Yue, don't you remember the deal we just made awhile ago? If not then (he sighed), I'm gonna have to kill you."
"Do with me what you will, but I'm going to kill you for killing, Akeno."
Yusuke suddenly disappeared and had Yue choked up against the wall. His eyes burning of wanting to kill her like she was trying to murder him earlier. She gasped for breath and she tried to break free of Yusuke's hands.
"The only way you'll be able to save yourself is if you show me where Hiei is."
"It should be damn easy considering he is where you were awhile ago," choked Yue.
Yusuke smiled evilly. Then added, "Well yeah I know that, but I need help getting to him. This place is not exactly easy to move through."
"True, now can you kindly let me go?"
Yusuke slowly lifted his hands off of her and she fell to the ground. She caught her breath, and then motioned Yusuke to follow her. Yusuke did realize afterward that the hallways did start to look familiar as they ran by. He did really hope that he wasn't too late to save Hiei as Kurama would kill him, if anyone survived from this mission.
"Yusuke," she suddenly spoke to him about half way towards Hiei.
"Hai," he replied to her. "What's going on?"
"Your other two friends; the fox demon, and that human boy, correct."
"Kurama and Kuwabara. What about them? Are they becoming endangered?"
"Lie, but the front side of the castle is closing in itself. Though, they are going to make it out in time. I thought you might like to know that. You on the other hand might not be able to make it out that way. There are others I can take you to them."
Yusuke nodded to Yue as they made it to a final corridor; a passage way to a circular room where they were once fighting Masao. Yue pointed towards the wall and told Yusuke to look down. He finally noticed that Hiei was on the ground looking so peaceful. Though, in fact he could be fighting for his life which Yusuke wouldn't dare think about.
He scooped up Hiei gently as he didn't move an inch as Yusuke moved him. Yue crossed her arms as she waited for Hiei and Yusuke to get situated. Yusuke could tell by looking at him that they had quite some fight before he passed out. His body was beaten up pretty bad, but was slowly healing. Yusuke noticed where Masao's power attacked him and caused his blood to spill out.
"Alright, you ready to leave now," asked Yue as she wanted to leave. She left Akeno and wanted to be back near him. She knew he was already dead and couldn't be saved, but she couldn't just leave him behind.
"Hai, let's get the hell out of here."
