Chapter 7
The Discovery
Kuwabara banged the door down as he rushed inside the building. He ran in, and he yelled, "Where's Urameshi, you bastard?" There was no answer. He walked further in, but he ran into a trap wire, sending spikes hurdling toward him. He dodged most of them, but some of them scratched the surface of his skin. Ignoring the stinging, he went on, only to find a dead end with a locked door. He couldn't find a key at all. All he could find anywhere was a small hairpin. He tried to unlock the lock with it, and it worked. He got in, but there was nothing there but another long hallway of doors and such. He heard a voice echo, "Find the right door if you can…" He tried to sense Yusuke's energy, but he wasn't getting anything. Then, suddenly, he felt a small sliver of his energy. He ran towards it, worried and scared at the same time. His energy had never been this small before. He finally reached the door, and he unlocked it with the hairpin. The sight he saw was horrifying. Yusuke was on the floor, his head slightly bleeding, but his abdomen even more. He quickly grabbed his phone and called Kurama. Kurama answered with a "Kuwabara? Where are you?"
"I'm in a building at the end of a forest. Urameshi's really hurt. I need you to come down here."
"I'll hurry as fast as I can."
Kurama hung up. Kuwabara dropped the phone and went over to Yusuke. There was a lot of blood around him. Kuwabara placed his arms around him and whispered, "Don't die on me…" He kept repeating this, and soon after, he started to shed tears.
Kurama ran through the forest as fast as he could. He hoped that Yusuke wasn't terribly hurt. He finally reached the building. Sensing Kuwabara's energy, he ran into the building, crossing through every path and running through every open door. He finally reached them, and he saw Yusuke. He stared in terror. Kuwabara looked up; his tear-streaked face was full of anguish. Kurama told him, "Carry Yusuke out of here. I'll heal him as best as I can." Kuwabara nodded, picked Yusuke up, and carried him on his back. Once they got outside, Kurama started to heal Yusuke. Kuwabara prayed inside in hope that Yusuke was going to be okay. After a few minutes, Kurama was finished. He closed Yusuke's wound partially, but it was enough so that it could heal properly. Kuwabara picked him up again, and they set off for home.
After three days, Yusuke finally woke up. Kuwabara had stayed by his side the whole time. Kuwabara felt the bed move, and he woke up as well. He hugged Yusuke as lightly as he could. Yusuke muttered, "Kuwabara…" but then he ended up hugging him back. They stayed like this for a moment or so, but they soon had to let go. Kuwabara grasped Yusuke's hand and asked, "Who kidnapped you? Did you see his face?
"It was Naraku."
"Naraku? Where is he? I'll give him a piece of my mind!"
"It's too late now, Kuwabara. He got away."
"Either way, I'm glad your okay. I thought…you were gonna die."
"Like I'd ever die on you, Kuwabara. I love you too much."
Kuwabara looked up at Yusuke, who was smiling. He couldn't help but to smile back at him. He leaned in closer and said, "I think this is the first time I've seen you really smile, Urameshi." They got closer and finally kissed. It was full of so much feeling, and it felt as though they would never be separated again. Once they released, they smiled, and after a few minutes they both fell asleep, still holding a tight grasp.
As soon as Yusuke could get up and move without it being painful, he finally went back to school. Kuwabara was now making him actually go to school and learn. Yusuke, unwillingly, went with him. They set off together, and before they entered the gate, Yusuke suggested, "Kuwabara, why don't we go in holding hands?"
"Are you nuts?"
"I mean, why not? They can think what they wanna think."
"…Okay."
They grasped each other's hand and entered onto the school grounds. Some people stared, others just ignored. Yusuke noticed Keiko was looking, and she was just giggling. Yusuke smiled at her, and they continued to walk along the grounds. This is when things got really bad.
Throughout the whole day, people were giving both Yusuke and Kuwabara dirty looks. Nobody talked to either of them; they were practically ostracized. No one would help them out if they needed help, and they were saying dirty things, such as "faggot" and "homo freak". Someone even pushed Kuwabara up against the wall, telling him, "Why're you at school, when you could be at home, sucking your boyfriend's dick?" It was terrible. They walked out, feeling like idiots for even thinking that anyone would have accepted them. While they were walking, Yusuke muttered, "Kuwabara?"
"Yea, Urameshi?"
"…Let's move in together."
People can be so mean sometimes Look forward to more chapters!
