Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Evermore ❯ Karasu? ( Chapter 3 )

Chapter 3:

 

Kurama rolled over sloppily, his head hurt like crazy! What did he do last night? When he opened his eyes he found out that he couldn't see! What was going on? Then he finally figured out that it wasn't his eyes playing tricks on him, it was a blindfold. But why? Then a horrid thought came to his mind. What if he was ambushed by the demon they were supposed to track down? He knew what this meant, long hours of torture. But then he realized that he wasn't on a cold stone floor of a kind of torture chamber, no, what he was on felt soft, sort of silky, not wet and damp at all, but warm and inviting. Was this some kind of sick joke?

“H…Hello? Is anyone there?” Called Kurama in his soft-spoken voice.

Kurama tried to get up, but his hands and feet were held to the bed by bindings. Kurama gave a short growl and pulled at them, but failed to do anything. He thrashed in them violently, trying to escape. But was soon stopped by a pair of hands taking him by the shoulders and steadying him and making him stop. Kurama's eyes widened under the blindfold and he let out a gasp.

“W-who's there?”

No answer.

“I said, who's there!”

Then Kurama heard a faint chuckling as the hands slid off his shoulders. It sounded familiar, but for some strange reason he couldn't remember whom.

“Hush Kurama. Don't strain yourself,”

“W-what?! Who-who are you? What do you want?” Whispered Kurama.

“You'll find everything out in good time…but for now, rest and relax, I'll be back soon,”

“Wait! I still don't know whom you-,” Kurama stopped when he heard a door close and the faint “click” of a lock. Kurama inwardly sighed. There was nothing he could do accept wait for the others to find him and rescue him from another psychotic demon. Until then he could ponder about whom the psychotic demon is this time. Why always him??? Kurama turned his head to his side and rested it on a soft silk cushion and drifted off slowly.

 

Two Hours Later**********************************************************

 

The stranger demon opened the door of which held the fox. He walked over to the bed and noticed that he was asleep. The quickly brushed Kurama's cheek, even though it was light, it still woke him up. Kurama gave a small jump and looked around…and remembered he was blindfolded. How long has it been? Surely they would be here by now.

“Hello? Is…is someone there?

“Yes…”

Kurama bit his lip. He was still here? Wouldn't the others have killed him by now. This wasn't good.

“Who are you?”

“Do you really want to know?”

Kurama thought for a moment. “Yes…yes I would,”

Kurama felt hands reach the back of his head and untie the blindfold. Then it was slowly lifted. Before it was completely off, Kurama squeezed his eyes shut. He wanted to take one last guess…but he really didn't no what to think. So he slowly opened his eyes. What he saw both astounded him and horrified him. It was Karasu…but he was dead, wasn't he?

“Karasu!? W-what are you doing here!? Y-You supposed to be dead!”

Karasu took this time to savor the fear that was coming from Kurama and chuckled. “Am I? Am I supposed to be dead, or is it you is supposed to be dead, Kurama?”

Kurama shuddered. He knew what was going to happen, and something told him his friends weren't coming. Karasu was going to kill him and that would be the end of it.

“Why you look so frightened, Kurama? Perhaps the past has caught up with you after all?”

“G-get away form me, Karasu!” Kurama yelled in fear.

“Oh, don't you worry. I won't kill you, Kurama,” said Karasu sternly.

“What? W-why not?”

“Because of a silly little human emotion called “love”, you could say. So instead, I'm just going to “keep” you,”

Kurama frowned. “What makes you think I'll go with you?”

Karasu grinned happily. “This might change your mind. Haven't you wondered why your friends haven't came yet?”

“Well…er…yes,”

“This is why,”

Karasu held up some sort of mirror and showed it to Kurama. “Look closely. What do you see?”

“I see…Kuwabara, Yusuke and Hiei,”

Soon more came into the mirror. It showed them unconscious on a hard stone floor.

“W-what happened to the?! A-are they dead?”

“No…not dead, yet anyways. But they will be if you don't do as I say. You see that ceiling? At any moment it could drop at my will. So…what do you think now?”

“I-I…,” Kurama swallowed hard and spoke in a raspy voice from his throat tightening. “Yes…”

Karasu smiled and brought his face down to Kurama's. “And seal it with a kiss and you won't have to worry, Kurama,”

Kurama fought back tears, knowing what was coming in his future and moved his head up and gave Karasu a short kiss on the cheek and quickly pulled away. Karasu stood up to his normal height again and cocked an eyebrow at Kurama.

“That's a kiss? Well…it will do for now, I guess. Let's get you home,”

Kurama sadly nodded. And felt Karasu start to unbuckle his bindings and then lift him up into his arms. Kurama didn't struggle, knowing that it would do no good. He was going to Karasu's “home” and there wasn't much he could do about it…
