Prologue

 

 

“Okay, now that I have you all together, we can discuss your next mission. It's fairly easy.”

“Sure, just like how easy rescuing Yukina was. Gotcha!”

“So what do we have to do? It seems appropriate to start the killing now and not waste any time doing so.”

“You know, you send us on missions a whole lot and it's getting really annoying, Koenma! I mean, just because we're your only Reikai Tentai doesn't mean you can't just send one of us! I'd be happy to go alone without shorty or Urameshi!”

Where's a damn knife when you need one? I just wanna slit my wrist right now; get away from all of this darkness. Go away and be away from this horrible world.

“Guys, pay attention!”

“Huh? Sorry, I was watching Barney.”

“Hn. I will if you agree to send Kuwabara alone this time, that way I can continue my plans on killing him ruthlessly.”

“I'm trying to pay attention! It's shorty and Urameshi that aren't! I still think that whatever mission you have for us is stupid! In fact, even more stupid than my adorable kitty who bumps into walls!”

I must see my own blood surround me, I must! I must exit this world of hypocrites and leave everything behind. I must escape this nightmare before I grow too attached.

Hiei looked around the room hurriedly. There was the suicidal thought again! He looked around; Koenma's face was in his hands, Yusuke was and Kuwabara were fighting, and silent Kurama was thinking. Everything was as normal as any of the stupid meetings. But something did bother him, and it had to do with a certain yoko.

Kurama had been lost in his thoughts a lot more than usual and it was starting to make Hiei a tad bit worried. He didn't understand what caused his best friend to just randomly go into deep thought or act so…abnormal.

“Kurama, you haven't spoken.” Hiei noted his friend. Kurama just continued to stare at the floor, hands somewhat cupped around his mouth and under his nose. Yep, he was in WAY deep thought.

Flames are killing me. Flowers are too. I'm going down painfully, hurting, crying. Someday I'll wake from this dream, only to find a world with darkness and pain. Three worlds. Three worlds of hidden darkness and unbearable pain. I'm going down in flames, and I'm running out of luck.

That one was the one that seemed to make Hiei realize something.

The thoughts could be his!

Hiei just sneered at the floor. That was impossible, he was perfectly happy. Sure, he knew about the darkness and horror in the three worlds; he was the darkness and horror. He knew about the pain and tragedy; he caused pain and tragedy many times. Nothing seemed to make sense anymore. His Jagan eye kept picking up these thoughts and he had no control over that. But what was the possibility that those thoughts were his and he just didn't know he was thinking them?

Flames, flowers, darkness, pain, three worlds, hidden, flames…

Him, Botan, what he was, what he caused, what he hated, what he was, him…

They seemed to make sense, make a finished puzzle.

But there were pieces still missing.

Hiei was starting to turn into a detective for his own purposes, now. He had to find out who the thoughts were coming from, and he had to hurry; especially if it was Kurama. But how would flames kill him; and flowers too? Flames would kill the flowers, and Kurama loves flowers. But how could the flowers kill Kurama, when he controls them. None of this made quite enough sense just yet.

Wee, more detective work.
