InuYasha Fan Fiction / Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Forbidden Pain ❯ Chapter 7

So….Yet another installment of Forbidden Pain ne? Once again I don't own this stuff, disclaimer. As well, might not want to skip what I wrote at the bottom of the story, just a passing though. Laters.

 

Kagome opened her eyes and wanted to curse loudly but refrained from doing so.

Everything still hurt but it was lessening. She stood deciding that someone had

brought her back and had no idea who, but even so, it would be a bad idea to

leave now without telling anyone or telling anyone. Miroku and Sango would

have to wait, not that she was excited about seeing them, but it was a fact. She

went into the forest to bathe hissing almost at the pain she felt from moving her

arms over her head. Maybe she had puked her entire insides this time. She

continued, used trace amounts of fire to dry herself then clawed something into a

rock chucking it back and walked off.

 

Yusuke was the first to wake up and immediately noticed that Kagome

was no where to be sensed. `She did it again. Ungrateful-` Yusuke picked up an

out of place rock noticing. He read. `Back before dusk. Hmm, thanks for leaving

a note this time.'

 

Kagome made her way to a ningen village and from what she had been

paying attention to before she went into the chicken area and took two pigeons in

their large cages and attached a note to each one and sent them off and then

cursed remembering something. How the hell would they know where to go?

She was ningen again for too long. She made her way back catching up to them

after eating. Yusuke laughed once.

 

“Sup.”

 

Once out of the western lands they continued on knowing there weren't

many fragments of the jewel left. Meaning Naraku had the rest. Meaning they

were either going to walk into a trap and not know or he would go all out on them

and attack. So they continued noticing the eerie peace they could not enjoy. No

youkai attacks at all. They couldn't even find any youkai. After a few days

Kagome paused along with the rest as Kurama spoke.

 

“I smell Naraku…But something's, different…”

 

Hiei spoke not wanting to walk into a trap. “What is it.”

 

“He smells youkai and hanyou at the same time, but that's impossible…”

 

Moments later Hiei felt a tug at his soul and figured it was the void

attachment Kagome had told them of. But he couldn't see her and his soul kept

fleeing him. He watched as Kagome made a bow and arrow out of ice and fired

it into a tree, but before it even brushed a leaf a youkai jumped out in front of it

taking the shot dying. Knowing where Kanna was Kagome asked Yusuke to fire

a spirit gun into the tree, and the moment he did so two things happened. Hiei

was able to move and do things again as if he had a soul, and a very large heard

of medium strength youkai charged at them headed by -

 

“Onigumo.”

 

Kurama turned to Kagome as he pulled out his rose whip. “Isn't that the

name of the ningen you said that absorbed all of the lesser youkai turning into

Naraku? How is this possible?”

 

Kagome began fighting as she shouted. “He detached him from his body

and apparently got out again after Naraku reabsorbed the ban-“

 

From out of no where Onigumo charged at Kagome catching her off guard

slashing at her with his sword. “MY NAME is MUSO!”

 

Kagome's ice sword was slashed through as Onigumo's sword came

down cutting straight down her chest. She got back up to her feet feeling a

random youkai tongue burn her side. Whatever happened for him to be expelled

again, he must have taken a ton of Naraku's energy or is just-

 

Kagome side stepped out of the way of Muso's attack not forgetting about

how he could manipulate his body and jumped over his tail that he reabsorbed

into his body. She quickly set a youkai on fire and took is pole ax as she burned

alive and pushed up putting all of her strength into blocking Muso's blade but saw

the pole ax not only begin to break, but dissolve. Eyes wide Kagome coughed

up blood looking at Muso. And her arm on the ground.

 

Hiei saw Kagome battling Muso and saw she would not be able to defeat

him. He cut through fighting through the youkai and was odded out seeing the

weapon she had acquired dissolve from Muso's blade, but almost paused. He

saw Muso's blade cut straight down through her shoulder and her side almost

taking off her leg. He ran full speed letting his Jagan burn through as her arm fell

and she soon followed and struck at Muso filled with anger letting his skin turn

green and fire encompass his sword.

 

“You bastard.”

 

Muso exchanged blows with Hiei with a smirk on his face. “Did I just, kill,

someone of importance to a hi youkai? Little at that. Well how about I aid you,”

Muso pushed Hiei back with his blade. “and let you join her!”

 

Muso charged at Hiei who saw a crack in his sword. Nothing had ever

cracked his sword. Even more angered some how he threw the sword at Muso

at a close range getting it lodged in his shoulder as he ripped the wrap off of his

right arm letting black flames encompass him.

 

“Jaou Ensatsu Koku Ryuu Ha!

 

Muso quickly did the only thing he could think of and met the dragon head

on. It was impossible to avoid. In the air holding its mouth open he saw Yusuke

and Kurama run dead out to get out of the way as some of the slower medium

strength youkai were burnt leaving not even ashes. As the dragon took yet

another turn he kept the mouth open with one arm and took out his blade and

flipped ontop of the dragon laughing.

 

“Is this,” Muso plunged his sword into the head of the dragon running

back splitting the flames causing it to dissipate. “the best you can do little fire

youkai?”

 

Kurama was wide eyed. “Impossible…”

 

Hiei, weakened, was beyond pist with his sword in his hand. “Teme!”

 

Muso jumped down landed with a thud. “Bastard? Hardly.” He laughed

some. “This will be a most enjoyable day indeed!”

 

Hiei parried with Muso for a short while longer until his seemingly endless

strength ran out and the blade was knocked out of his hand as Muso hit him

down with the butt of his sword stabbing him through the heart. In getting no

more from Hiei Muso smirked moving on.

 

Kurama was wide eyed. Hiei was down and he was either unconscious

about to be dead or dying. He sliced through another youkai when he felt his fox

senses kick in and jumped to the side as Muso's blade just missed him by a few

millimeters. Knowing none were a match for him Kurama tried stopping him with

every plant on the ground at his disposal until he felt a slice of his side come off.

He staggered going down to one knee looking at Muso who smirked then walked

off towards Yusuke.

 

“Why are you leaving.”

 

Muso spoke. “You are leaving, not I.”

 

Kurama didn't understand, until he felt a tug on his soul. They hadn't

killed Kanna…

 

Yusuke saw Kurama fall on his front and saw Muso disappear. Meaning

he was after him. Doing the only thing he could think on Yusuke charged his fist-

 

“Shot gun!”

 

He expelled more energy than normal but with the medium youkai cleared

out he saw Muso blocking with his sword and did the thing that came natural to

him and ran straight at him with energy on his fist. Muso cut down at him but

Yusuke pushed off to the side running at him at a different angle. After two more

tries figuring Muso couldn't be out done that way he jumped up in the air firing

another spirit gun seeing it get deflected with that sword. He needed to get that

sword away from him, he had seen from the others what it was capable of doing.

 

“I tire of games. I ask though-“ Muso let Yusuke hit him and sliced down

on him. “Why does a mere ningen such as yourself hang around with a group of

youkai? Why did the other ningen?”

 

Yusuke spit out blood trying to get back up. “-Because we ain't normal.”

 

And with that Muso also stabbed Yusuke through the heart. Yusuke's

shout was stifled after a while and he fell onto his back and soon closed his eyes.

 

“Piff. If this is all it takes for Naraku to give me my fair Kikyou back then I

would be willing to do so again, not a task at all.” Muso walked off.

 

Yusuke opened his eyes. He did not know how long had passed. He did

not know why he was alive. He wanted to know why he didn't know anything but

couldn't even begin to think of where to begin. He stood up feeling just fine,

head slightly heavy, and saw through the bodies of youkai his companions. He

made his way to Kagome figuring her to be the worst off and found her

surprisingly, yet again, barley alive. In fact the only reason he knew she was

barley alive was because she still bled. Thank Kieko for teaching him that. He

placed her arm next to her figuring someone would know how to reattach it and

picked all of her up and ran, finding it very easy, for a short while to a clearing

and left her there going back for Hiei, who was just unconscious and in bad

shape. Youkai don't have heart beats, so getting stabbed in the heart wouldn't

be so bad, they healed well too. And Hiei healed very well.

 

When Yusuke returned for Kurama he noticed something was wrong. He

still breathed but his body was grey.

 

“Aren't ningen supposed to be pale from blood loss? I should

know...Something isn't right, and I still have no idea of what is going on!” Yusuke

picked up Kurama bringing him back and set him down. “And I don't know a

damn thing about healing and wounds! Kuso!”

 

“Indeed.”

 

Yusuke turned. “But you do. Heal them or whatever it is that you do.”

 

Yoko didn't speak about Yusuke's appearance just yet as he then began

to finding it painful to think that Kagome was still alive as he began work on her.

“Shuichi's soul was lost, why his body looked grey. When I woke up I noticed

and came out. What happened.”

 

“Keh! You would pick the hardest battle of all time that we SO got our

asses beat and lucky as hell no one was killed to go asleep on. Some dude,

Onigumo Muso came and whopped our asses. In fact I thought Kagome and

Hiei would be dead even for youkai, and I know for a damn fact my ass should be

dead.” Yusuke mumbled to himself. “Felt like I was dying.”

 

“Your ningen parts died. And feeling like dying, your heat stopped

rendering you to your youkai state.”

 

Yusuke looked down. “I still look the same, feel, sorta the same.”

 

Yoko grew a number of plants. “You do not look the same. Bring water

and then look at yourself.”

 

Yusuke made a poorly constructed bucket and made another one and

went to where he could hear and smell a stream and filled it up and paused. He

had long jagged black hair and black markings all over his face and most likely

body. He didn't look the same.

 

“I'm, I'm a youkai…”

 

Yoko took the water taking a plant putting it in it and used the other to

begin cleaning Kagome. “Do not try to take longer next time.”

 

“But, but I thought all of you said it was dormant in me and that's why I

was stronger than any ningen. Basically I was ningen.”

 

“You were, and dormant means not activated, it was activated. You are

no longer ningen and will not be able to be one again.”

 

Yusuke sat down unable to absorb all of the information. He couldn't. It

wasn't as if everything he had ever known came crashing down on him, but that

he just had truly no idea of what to think except for the fact that he was youkai.

And he was different? Would Kieko accept him? Would he be able to go to

school on the days he did only because he wanted to make sure Kieko was safe?

Would he want to start eating ningen now? Would he revert and go feral?

Would he hurt Kieko?...He was going to outlive Kieko…

 

Yoko briefly saw the troubles Yusuke had, more so with understanding

and quickly fixed up Hiei enough for him not to die and went back to Kagome.

She was far worse and there was not a big enough distraction in the world for

him not to- Yoko concentrated and took the plant out of the water placing it

ontop of the cut down her side where he could almost see her heart and let it

take root inside of her. This was extremely dangerous and he had never actually

done this before, but it was the only thing he could think of to make her heart

work again. She was dead. Now for the arm…

 

Hiei opened his eyes not able to sit up from pain that would cause him to

black out if he forced it. He decided to go back to sleep until he could at least

stand. The next time he woke he successfully stood on the fourth try and saw

Yoko sitting next to Kagome under a large leaf blocking her from the elements of

nature. Her arm was back on, somehow, but it didn't look like it would stay on.

As well there was a very large plant growing out of her. He sat against a tree not

able to go any further and saw Yusuke looking down. Well, he had to be Yusuke

for Yoko to let him in. The youkai didn't look much like him, and as a youkai

didn't sense like him. But after a while Hiei noticed that he did sense like the

minute traces of youkai in Yusuke, and figured for sure it was him.

 

“What happened.”

 

Yusuke, surprisingly to Yoko, spoke. “After you were out he turned on

Kurama who would have been killed by him, but that void youkai stole the soul of

Shuichi first. And then he turned on me and I thought I was dead after feeling

myself die, but I woke perfectly fine, just a bit sore, like this.”

 

Hiei looked at him, his voiced had changed slightly, not much. “What type

of youkai is he…Those patterns.”

 

“Yusuke is a toushin and from those markings, either related to or the son

of Raizen, meaning much. But at a later time.” Yoko stood. “I will return.”

 

Yusuke spoke after a while figuring Yoko would get food for Hiei since he

trusted him, was older and he couldn't move. “Do you know why I feel weak as

hell Hiei.”

 

“You have jakai now, not rekai. So basically you have to learn all over

again how to tap into your energy and use it.”

 

Yusuke sighed. “Meaning Yoko is the only one able to battle.”

 

Yoko returned giving Hiei food to eat, and surprisingly Yusuke didn't find it

slightly gross in the back of his head. Five days later Hiei was able to walk

around, not jump or run without opening up wounds. Yoko saw that Kagome was

sufficiently not going to die and turned the plant back into an odd looking seed

removing it from her body letting her seal the rest of the way. Three days passed

and Kagome opened her eyes near tears. It was the closet she had been to

crying since she knew she was a youkai. Pain. She could not get used to all

levels of it. She sensed Yoko, asleep, figuring he was the one, the only one, who

could have put the plant reattaching her arm and another youkai that she couldn't

identify. She sensed Hiei in a tree branch, visible if she could get up. Kagome

did not have feeling in the reattached arm at all and could not move it yet,

meaning when movement was restored it would hurt. And her side, it hurt to

breath. Damn, she had to breath. She then moved her left arm back pushing up

straining trying to get herself up against a tree when she fell down. She couldn't

even do that. She tried it again feeling her body protest telling her to stop when

she felt two arms using all of the care in the world lift her up against a chest.

 

“Let me go.”

 

“Hn. You'd kill yourself moving anymore.”

 

Kagome was weak and he just didn't want her to die messing up the

mission. “Let, me,” Kagome let a tear spill from her eye from everything. “go…”

 

“You're not weak, and I'm sorry I ever called you or made you think so.”

 

Kagome let another tear spill. She didn't need this now. She didn't want

him saying those things to her now. Ever. From anyone. But she could barley

struggle any longer.

 

“Let go of me.”

 

Hiei held her slightly closer not to hurt her. “Kagome you made yourself

cold and bitter so that no one would get close to you and get hurt and so that you

wouldn't have to feel because you believe you shouldn't feel because of what

you are. The exact same reason I made myself like this. Because I didn't want

to be called weak or be scared any longer.”

 

Kagome found a bit of strength and tried pushing out again, she didn't

want him saying this to her and if he had to not now. “Hiei let me go,” her voice

was still sore, quiet. “please.”

 

“You will kill yourself if you keep struggling and even if you think you want

it you don't. Please.”

 

Kagome gave in weeping on his chest. “Let me go.”

 

Yoko woke smelling faint traces of salt mixed in with blood and saw Hiei

holding Kagome. She had cried herself to sleep in Hiei's arms. Not his. Yoko

was hurt and didn't want to feel that way, especially since he didn't know what

led up to it, what happened, or why anything happened. The hold didn't look

related to sex, for it couldn't be with the condition of Kagome. But by seeing Hiei

look, gaze down at her, he wanted it to be if she were healthy.

 

Yusuke saw the entire thing unfold with half open eyes, and when Yoko

woke up. They both wanted her for a mate - when did he think in terms of mate

and not girlfriend? Yeah, he was a youkai. But back to pressing matters, did

Kagome cry because she was afraid to admit she liked them, or because she

was weak and couldn't get free of Hiei on her own?

 

A few hours passed and Kagome woke and noticed all of the others were

awake, and she was still being held by Hiei. “Will you let go of me.”

 

“If you won't try getting yourself killed.”

 

“Fine.”

 

Hiei set her down on against the tree seeing her face contort with pain.

Yoko still wasn't comforted, Yusuke wasn't any closer to figuring things out, and

Kagome was the only one with a plan. As the hours went by she waited for

enough strength to sit up, stand, and walk, and she was going to leave. As

fucking soon as possible. Right now she didn't trust any of the damn youkai

around her. She decided to go back to sleep and wake up when able to speed

up the process. About three days later she figured she could walk a short

distance, so would force herself to go further. In seeing Yoko out, Hiei asleep

and the other youkai actually asleep, she stood cursing loudly in her head glad

her mental barriers never left walked, almost limping biting her lip, and went

towards Kaeada's village which wouldn't be too far away-

 

“Wake up now.”

 

Hiei and Yusuke both realized why Yoko was so pist, for him. Kagome

was gone and they were both asleep letting her all but just walk out in front of

them. And she probably couldn't even walk without opening all of her wounds up.

They all stood not needing to know anything else and tried picking up Kagome's

scent hoping she wasn't well enough to mask it, then again hoping she was so

that no one would try killing her. Not having to worry about that, they easily

followed the growing blood trail seeing a giant tree in the distance.

 

Kagome felt everything tearing on her, even in places she didn't know

existed as she walked past the giant tree heading towards the village but was

glad that she didn't have to go any further -

 

“Miroku.”

 

Miroku turned around seeing the fire and ice youkai near death keep

walking towards him. Eyes wide he ran back towards her and held her.

 

“Kami, Kagome sama what happened - No better yet don't speak, don't

move. I'll take care of you -“ Miroku raised his voice. “Sango sama can you

hear me!”

 

Sango ran up hearing the urgency in the voice of Miroku. “Houshii sama -

Kagome chan! Kami sama Kagome chan are you-“

 

“-Sango sama please do not ask her to speak now she might die. I found

her walking towards me please bring things from our hut in seeing as how I

should not move her more than necessary.”

 

“Right. Kilala!”

 

A few minutes later Kagome spoke. “Miroku…”

 

“Kagome sama, you're, still alive…Why are you here of all times, now?”

 

“Because I don't trust them. And even with all that has happened,”

Kagome hugged him. “I could never not trust my family.”

 

Miroku hugged Kagome as well feeling her nuzzle his neck. “And we love

you as well, Kagome-”

 

“-What the hell?”

Okay, so I obviously have the next chapter started. Anyway, there will be…Some things in either the next chapter or the one right afterwards (almost certain that close) that I know I can't post on media miner at a PG 13 rating. Sooooo. What I need all of the readers is a small vote. Do you want me to make a hidden chapter or email the chapter out to everyone? I'm not changing the ratings, and I'm not going to not write the chapter because things I'm planning to write later will not have the same meaning and if there are people who are like 13 and 16 and stuff reading this, then they obvisuly should be warned ahead of time like I'm doing now. So if you want, drop an email with your opinion of Hidden Chapter or Email Chapter Out, and once I get enough of an opinion (it won't be the next chapter…almost certain, but very soon) I'll let you know what I'm going to do.

 

As well, I'm still searching for a formatting solution, because as you see from reading this…Messed up. Also! If you'd like, you can voice your opinion of who Kagome might want to end up with. So far, only five for Hiei and one for Miroku. So get back to me.
