Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Caged ❯ Consolation ( Chapter 5 )

Caged

Hiei found it very hard to consol the sobbing fox considering he was underneath the said creature. He somehow rolled to his side, now his arm was getting crushed. He dealt with it. His hands ran over his kitsune's bare flesh. Wait a minute, when had he started calling Kurama his own? Kurama clung to him desperately. Hiei felt his heart crack. It hurt to see Kurama hurt like this.

"… Kurama…" Hiei tried to say comforting words.

"When I was little, I was careless. I was wandering about, alone in the world, with no parents, no siblings, just me. They found me. The Demon Network. They brought me here, to this very room and stuffed me in. I was only a little fox, maybe fifteen. They had hired a new trainer, and when he saw be he knew what he was going to make me…" Kurama started blurting. Realization dawned on Hiei. Kurama was the sell that had made the Network what it was now. Kurama was that great whore. "I spent twenty years here. For him, I was never good enough. He kept telling buyers that I wasn't finish, that there were new things he wanted to teach me, that my spirit was hard to break. I spent twenty years in this room, being trained to be the best. He was never satiated. He was always in here. Every night, every morning, every time he had the chance.

"Do you know what it's like for a small child to go through that for twenty years?!" Kurama shouted. Hiei flinched. "I was trained to be a whore. The only reason I escaped this cell was because they found an offer they couldn't refuse. They stole me from under his nose. They gave me to that rich demon. That's where I learned to steal. I learned how to be heartless in this room. I learned to be ruthless, unforgiving, shameless, or at least on the outside. I used demons, because I was used. I only did what I knew how to do! I…"

"Shh, it's alright Kurama," Hiei cooed. "I'm here now. There's nothing I won't protect you from."

"You can't protect me from my past!" Kurama shouted. Hiei closed his eyes.

"And you can't protect me from mine. I never realized how similar we are until now. You have to forget the past, you have to forgive the past, you have to put it all behind you," Hiei said. Kurama sobbed into his chest. Hiei sighed. His fingers ran over Kurama's back.

Yusuke nodded at Kuwabara. Yusuke jumped in front of the door to Simone's cage. He shot it with his spirit gun. There was a small crack in it. He cursed silently. He looked through the window and nodded at Simone. She and Kuwabara and him counted to three and released their weapons at the same time. The door caved under the pressure.

"Let's go!" Yusuke shouted. Sirens range through the corridors.

*~*~

Hiei shot bolt upright when he heard the sirens. Damn Yusuke. Kurama was dressed and standing by the window. Hiei walked calmly over to him.

"It's time to go," he said. Kurama nodded. He held a seed in his hand. Hiei nodded at his decision. Yusuke, Kuwabara and Simone rushed into the room. Hiei tossed Simone some clothes. She stripped off what she had on and jumped into the jeans and t-shirt Hiei had tossed her.

"This way," she purred. She turned and ran down the hallway. Yusuke and Kuwabara followed her.

"You ready?" Hiei asked Kurama. Kurama nodded. Hiei turned and followed the others.

"Goodbye my plant. Goodbye my `Misery'," Kurama said. He followed Hiei out the door.
