Short, but at least out quick. Let me all know what you think! Did you feel the tension?? Did you like it?? Review, I beg!
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
It never occurred to Hiei to stop and question whether he should go through the door or not. He just went. Because whatever they had going on between them now, it still came down to his mind or hers. And Hiei always looked out for number one. It was how he had stayed alive for so long.
The door had appeared, and he had only spared one look back for her. One glance, which took in her shock at the door appearing and then her surprise as he took off with a burst of speed.
“H-Hiei!” Kagome choked out, lunging off the bed after him. The door closed with a snap well before she could reach it. She lunged hard at the knob, trying to pull it open. The room began to echo with her thuds as she pounded on the door.
“Hiei! Open the door! Please, Hiei! Let me come with you!” She watched in disbelief and horror as the door started to fade and disappear in seconds. She fell to her knees.
He had left her. All alone, trapped within her mind. After all they had said to each other, the banter, the arguments. She had stupidly thought it meant something. Something stupid along the lines of Hiei not being a complete bastard, and maybe him helping her. How foolish. How naïve. How typically Kagome.
All he cared about was himself and his own damn mind.
Kagome felt faint. They were going to do it, they were going to throw her to the wolves. Naraku was going to get her with a body that couldn’t be destroyed. Her only saving grace would have been the detectives taking her mind away, and now that might not even happen.
Hiei was such an idiot, anyways. Any other time they had woken up, it had just happened. No magic door had suddenly appeared that they needed to go through. She’d bet her right eye that the door was put there by Naraku. Probably, she wouldn’t have wanted to go through the door anyways. Maybe, going on Naraku’s sense of humor, it would just lead to him, and he would beat the shit out of Hiei. The little wretch deserved it. But that meant that the bastard Naraku had some control over the dreams. And that their supposition had been right.
God, she should have just told the Detectives about the spider and let the punishment happen. Now it was going to be far worse. Far, far worse.
Kagome felt a scream building in her throat. She swallowed convulsively, trying hard not to snap. A tear leaked out the corner of her eye.
Her life sucked. There were no two ways about it. Whoever was up there must hate her. Sure, she lived on a shrine, one would think that would have given her some bonus points or something. Guess not after her attempted suicide. That or she was just a bad person. That was probably it.
Another tear dripped down.
Was it possible for her to commit suicide in her head? Would that obliterate her mind, effectively leaving Naraku with nothing?
She looked around for something to do the deed with. Her eyes landed on the sheets of the luscious bed. A hanging. How perfect.
Yet even as she thought it the bed disappeared. Naraku knew her, had a part of her within him. He was making sure she didn’t do what must seem obvious to him. No, he wasn’t going to let her escape.
No, Kagome corrected herself, he wasn’t going to let the Jewel escape.
With that thought Kagome finally gave in, curled in upon herself on the floor and cried, her sobs echoing desolately around the empty room.
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Hiei heard the door thud closed behind him and turned to look. He could hear Kagome crying, trying to follow him, her anguish coming through the door clearly.
He thought about it, about opening the door and having her come with. Chances were that the door wasn’t going to get him out of there anyways. He still turned away, his back to the cries. They were going to hand her over the bad guy if he got out of her. It would be a bad idea to suddenly get friendly with the sacrifice.
So he looked forward.
It was a blank hallway, decorated in the same manner as the bedroom. Which meant it was all a nice pale white. An endless white. Hiei, with his demon eyes, could see no end to the tunnel.
Obviously there weren’t a whole lot of choices. He could either go back into the room, or he could move forward.
This time he didn’t spare a glance backwards.
Hiei walked for what seemed like hours. Time had no meaning in the blank tunnel. When he finally saw a door, it seemed like it was a mirage, something that his mind had made up out of desperation for not having any idea of what to do should this tunnel lead nowhere.
It was a small, innocuous door. He stared at it for a moment before twisting the handle gingerly.
The door swung open into a black room, so dark Hiei could see nothing in front of him. He moved forward slowly.
Outwardly he showed no fear, inwardly he was beginning to worry. He didn’t have his sword on him, courtesy of Naraku most likely. While he was hardly a sitting duck, it wasn’t like he was at his best. With a start Hiei realized that he had begun to rely on his weapon a little too much. Not safe in his profession. Your weapon could always be taken away.
With a growl Hiei stopped walking and concentrated. His skin darkened to a dark olive color and small replications of the Jagan began popping up.
He still couldn’t see shit.
Guess that meant he had to draw his enemy out. “Come out, come out wherever you are, you filthy halfbreed.”
A scratchy laugh filled the room. “Insults have long since ceased to irritate me, Detective.”
Fuck, it was Naraku. He had really been hoping he was wrong. “Then come out and fight, you coward.”
“You sound like Yusuke, Hiei. Suddenly impatient. You wouldn’t be on a timeline now, would you?” the amused voice asked.
Hiei practically choked. Fuck, that meant the gang was going through with it. God, why couldn’t any of them realize that he wasn’t in the room?
“Fight me, you arrogant prick!” he shouted into the gloom.
“As you wish.”
Hiei could suddenly see a figure walking towards him in shadows. He didn’t wait for Naraku to come to him, but lunged, claws pointed towards the throat.
Laughter began to fill the room, echoes bouncing off the walls.
“Try and kill me, you pathetic scum!”
The room lit up, and Hiei skidded to a halt, claws inches from his sister’s neck. A cold sweat gelled on his back.
“Hiei,” came her timid voice. “What’s going on?” Hiei looked at her gazing at him in complete innocence.
“Do it, Hiei,” came the voice from overhead. “Kill me, the only other person in this room. You know I can take forms. I did it to Kagome, there in the kitchen. Don’t you remember?”
Hiei’s hands began to lower. There was no way Naraku could be dressed as his Yukina. He had absorbed Inuyasha, and he hadn’t absorbed her. This couldn’t be Naraku.
“Do it, Hiei!”
Could it be him? How else would Yukina be in his mind, in this dream?
“DO IT, HIEI!”
His fingers seemed to rise of their own volition, trembling at her neck, indenting her pale, tender skin. But it was Yukina. His little, sweet sister. He couldn’t kill Yukina.
“What’s going on Hiei? Why are you hurting me?” Her voice held a slight quaver. “You wouldn’t hurt your own sister, would you?”
Hiei screamed and plunged his claws through her neck and ripped her head off. He threw the head to the side, letting the carcass thud to the ground.
“Naraku, you bastard! Nice try, but she doesn’t know I’m her brother.” Hiei began to pant, looking down at his hands. It wasn’t Yukina. Rationally, he knew this, but, Jesus, he had her blood all over his fingers.
He heard a small tinkle and frantically looked around. His eyes landed on her head. The eyes were looking up at him, pooling with tears. Another tear fell and he heard a small tinkle of glass as the jewel formed.
Why? the mouth silently formed. Why?
Hiei felt sick. He turned horrified eyes to his hands.
No.
He had to leave, get out. Hiei frantically turned towards the door, only to find it gone. Hiei began to pant, trying not to panic. Where the fuck was the door?
“Naraku!”
He turned again, eyes landing on the body.
“Naraku!” voice cracking.
He whirled once more only to face a tentacle ramming itself into his chest.
“Hiei?” questioned the voice. “Are you all right, Hiei? You seem to be having trouble breathing,” it chuckled out.
Black spots began to cover his vision. His knees collapsed out from under him and he didn’t even notice. Fuck, he was dying. Blood began to trickle down his chest, out from the edge of his mouth.
He closed his eyes regretfully. Was this what it was like to have your mind sucked out? All this pain?
He passed out.
And finally woke up staring into a worried pair of bright green eyes.
“Thank God, Hiei, we finally got you to wake up. We almost performed the surgery with you passed out.”
Hiei blinked slowly. He was back out of the dream. Thank God. He hoped never to panic like that in real life. He wasn’t a man built on breakdowns. And he sure as hell wouldn’t ever kill Yukina.
He tried to sit up and only succeeded with Kurama’s help. His eyes lost focus for a minute, and the words being spoken about the room became a dull roar. His head cleared to the words, “ –‘s ok, go ahead!”
Kagome!
Hiei lunged forward. “No! Wait!”
Kurama looked down at Hiei in concern. “It’s too late Hiei, the deed is done.”
Hiei looked up at him uncomprehendingly. “Her mind is gone, Hiei. What’s the matter?”
He simple closed his eyes and sagged back down to the floor.
Oh God, Kagome.
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Back in the room Kagome began to feel a tugging at her gut. She stopped crying at the strange sensation and looked down at herself as the pull increased. Her body began to flicker and disappear. She choked on a horrified gasp. The pull became a hard knot of sensation and Kagome suddenly bowed her back in pain. A scream erupted from her throat and her fingers scrabbled on the floor for purchase as her body continued to flicker before finally disappearing.
