InuYasha Fan Fiction / Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Forbidden Prophecy ❯ Chapter 18 ( Chapter 18 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

I felt a bit silly about my little fit of rage earlier; it wasn't the right way to handle the situation. I should have taken the chance to talk to Midoriko, not yell at her and claim to hate basically life itself. Because I don't. There are several things in life I hold very dear to me.
I really need a break from all of this. Not only because I'm tenchnically dead, but because I've put up with more drama and violence than everybody. And I'm being threatened with being ripped out of all existence?
I wish I could see everybody again. I wish I could see Hiei. It's strange.. I barely know him, but I'm already so fond of him. He'd probably be really sweet, if it weren't for the fact he was so indifferent. And he's cute. Really cute.
I know I could just bring him here, but it's not the same. I couldn't keep him forever, as much as I'd like to.
I'm so tired.. I really just want to go to sleep and ignore everything that's going on. But I might not wake up, and I am not taking that chance. I can already feel my soul weakening, and if I stopped fighting even for a moment..
I wonder what the others are doing, if they found a jewel shard since I last checked. Most likely not.
I grabbed that cursed bowl, glancing into the crystal clear water, and watching the surface reflect the image of my friends. Kirara was a short distance away from the group, keeping a steady vigilance. She's a good neko youkai, I can see why she was Midoriko's companion. Loyal and brave. Not afraid to put her life at risk for a friend.
I don't think I'm going to last much longer, stuck in this horridly cheerful place, the stitch between life and death.
I might as well give in to this grotesque fate. They wont find rhe jewel shards in time. Afterall, Naraku still has a chunk of it, and they'll have to defeat him. Not happening anytime soon. Maybe I'm just being pessimistic.
God, I'm so tired now. I can hardly move Maybe if I lay down for a few minutes I'll feel better...

Thunder sounded overhead. Kirara glanced up just in time for a drop of rain to drip on her nose. She rubbed the wet spot with her paw, mewling at her mistress. This would slow everything down, and time was of the essence. Hopefully the storm wouldn't last long.

The fire apparition frowned deeply from his perch in the thick tree. This was not good. It's not like he had all the time in the world. He closed his eyes for a moment, contemplating on what he should do now. When he opened them again, he felt like he was fading. But that wasn't right. What was going on? This shouldn't be happening now.

I can't help but close my eyes. It's getting harder to stay awake. Wait, what was that? I open my eyes in time to see someone slowly appear in front of me, but my eyes close before I see who it is.
I'm falling into the darkness.. it's warm and strangely comforting, like this is where I should have been all along. I can hear someone calling my name.. Go away.. I just want to sleep..
In a matter of seconds I can feel myself being yanked into reality. Someone's holding me, but I can't figure out who it is. They're calling my name.. Telling me to wake up.. "I said go away!" I shout, pushing them away from me.
Falling again..
They're pulling me up, holding me again, shaking me. I finally force my eyes open, only to see crimson ones staring back at me. Hiei? I half-heartedly attempt to push away again, but his hold is too strong.
I suddenly realize what just happened.
I throw my arms around him and start crying. "Don't leave.." I sob.
And for the first time during this whole adventure.. I'm scared.

Alrighty then! Half way through this I finally felt good about this chapter. Hope yall enjoy it.
