Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Of Ice and Wind ❯ A secret kept ( Chapter 4 )

Chapter #4 up and running! Before I begin, I'd like to take a moment to say thanks to everyone whose read this up to this point. I haven't gotten any reviews, but I'm happy just to have made it this far in my writing. This chapter is kind of a weird one, but (much like chapter 2) it is important to the plot. Keep reading and send in those reviews! ENJOY! :)

 

I do not own Jin and Touya nor do I own yu yu hakusho (and neither do you ha!)

Am I. . .dead? No, I can't be dead if I'm thinking. So, that means, I must be dying. I'm sorry Jin. I THOUGHT I COULD SAVE YOU! I THOUGHT I COULD WIN! Oh Inari I'm so sorry. . .

 

“I think he's finally coming around.”

 

“I think you're wrong Kurama, he still looks dead to me.”

 

“Hiei, you thought he was dead when we found him but he was still breathing.”

 

“I don't care! We should have left him there!”

 

“Hiei we couldn't just do that, he. . .”

 

“I DON'T CARE! Kurama, he tried to kill you, he attacked you. We can't trust the bastard.”

 

“That was all part of the tournament Hiei, it was nothing personal.”

 

“You have to stop being so compassionate Kurama! You are a yoko now! He is nothing but a defeated former shinobi. You should have no kindness left for him.”

 

What? Whose there? I can't be dying if I can hear. And,. . .what's that smell? It. . .it smells like. . .rose petals?

 

“Hiei I do not feel like having this conversation again.”

 

And that voice. It's deeper, but I know it. It's. . .it's. . .

 

“Kurama. . .?” Hiei and Kurama stopped their petty bickering and both gazed intensely at the fallen Touya.

 

 

“See Hiei I told you he was coming to!”

 

“Hn.”

 

“Yes Touya, now open your eyes. It's all going to be ok now.”

 

!@#$%^&*()

 

Though there was not much light inside the chamber, Jin could still see enough to know that he was trapped. He could not move his arms nor his legs, but at least he was conscious. The wound on his back throbbed mercilessly and his brow was drenched in sweat (the result of a fever that seemed to extend to all parts of his body).

 

By Inari! What the hell happened ta me? And where the blazes am I now?

 

“You don't remember your home Jin? I'm very surprised.”

 

RISHO?! Damn it I hate that jerk! Where does he get off puttin' me in a holdin' cell?! And. . .hold on a sec. . .how he be knowin' I thought that? Risho can't be readin' minds!”

 

“That's true, I can't. But my translator can.”

 

Ah, what's he be blabberin' about now?

 

“It's very simple my friend. You are no doubt feeling the pains that come from fever, especially in the area of the head.” This was indeed the case Jin knew. His head pounded and it felt like fire was running through his veins. “Behind one of those misshapen ears of yours, I have placed what I like to call my yakusha. Because the poison paralyzes your vocal cords along with the rest of you, I have instructed the yakusha to transmit your every thought to me. This way, I do not have to remove the poison and can still hear every cry of pain.”

 

Don't be givin' yourself so much credit Risho. I'll never be givin' a snake such as yourself the pleasure a hearin' me!

 

“Oh but I think you will. Right now you think that you'll be able to overcome it, but the poison has not yet taken its full affect. Soon you will know what true torment and anguish feels like. You will die little demon, and Touya will once again be mine.” Risho's voice faded and the room was once again silent and though Risho had never entered the chamber, it felt so much colder than before.

 

!@#$%^&*()

 

The light from the outside world burned intensely in Touya's frozen eyes. His vision was still hazy but slowly blurry images started to become solid. He could see that he was in a cave, however it was extremely well furnished. The light yet powerful smell of roses filled his lungs, and for a moment Touya felt at peace, as though he could reside there the rest of his existence. For a few seconds, he forgot everything, there was only serenity. But it was not to be.

 

“JIN! JIN'S STILL OUT THERE!” Touya then tried to sit up, but found that moving was much more difficult then he had anticipated.

 

“No, you must be still. I was able to remove most of the poison, but I'm afraid you won't be able to move for a few hours.”

 

“How long was I asleep?”

 

“That does not matter now, just rest and. . .”

 

“HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN ASLEEP?!”

 

“About half a day.”

 

 

“How many hours?”

 

“About 12.”

 

“No. . .Jin. . .Were you able to save him as well?”

 

“Touya. . .we only found you.”

 

“YOU LIE! HE WAS THERE!”

 

“KURAMA DOES NOT LIE! PERHAPS IF YOU PREFER WE CAN REINSERT THE DART AND LEAVE YOU LIKE WE SHOULD HAVE DONE IN THE FIRST PLACE!”

 

“Hiei please, he is upset, he is delirious.”

 

“No! Jin was there! Struck by a yudoko (poison) dart! Risho. . .did the same to me.”

 

“Touya. . .the dart you were struck with was a torareru (stun) not a yudoko. Yudoko darts have been outlawed and no longer exist in. . .”

 

“Kurama I know what I saw. Jin was attacked by Risho. He was dying. He IS dying!” Kurama and Hiei gave each other the same dumbfounded look. “Please. . .please help me. . .find him.”

 

“I will do all I can.”

 

“Yoko Kurama is truly as great as his name. . .” Touya became silent once more, lost in the deep, comforting embrace of sleep.

 

“Well what do we do with him now?”

 

“We wake him in 3 hours and then. . .we save Jin.”

 

!@#$%^&*()

 

15 long hours had passed and now Jin was starting to become less confident in his abilities to resist. He had regained control of his limbs and was capable of sitting upright. This did not mean, however, that he wanted to. Every movement caused the pain to become worse and it was all Jin could do to stop from screaming out in his mind. But he would not give Risho the satisfaction. Instead, he tried to clear his mind of everything, will himself to sleep and forget everything.

 

But there were times when he couldn't help but think, and now it was even harder to empty his mind.

 

A few hours before, he had made the mistake of asking himself a question to which he promptly got an answer. . .

 

(2 hours before)

 

ERR DAMN IT! I WON'T GIVE IN! I CAN'T! DAMN RISHO! I HATE THE BASTARD! AND WHAT THE DEVIL DID HE MEAN BY `TOUYA WILL ONCE AGAIN BE MINE.'? LITTLE BUGGER DON'T MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL!

 

“Oh don't I Jin? If you're confused then maybe I should tell you a little story.”

 

I'm not interested in your fairy tales Risho!

 

“Perhaps not, but this is something I know you will want to hear, and I've been just dying to tell it to you, but Touya wouldn't allow me to.”

 

Ya best be shuttin' your trap Risho, lest I find ya!

 

“My dear boy, you seem to still think that you have the upper hand. You really have no option Jin so just try to enjoy the show.”

 

 

Show? At that moment, the wall of the holding cell facing Jin began to fade and in its place stood a young blue haired demon. By his side, Jin saw an image of himself, upbeat and full of life. “You're gonna love bein' a shinobi Touya! The whole team are one in a million. Risho's a little wack but ya can get used to it.”

 

“I don't know Jin. I've never been part of anything. It's just always been me.”

 

“You'll be doin' fine!” Jin remembered that day quite clearly, back when Touya wore the loose fitting clothes similar to what Jin wore now. He had done his best to show Touya that there was something more honorable than his former life and in the end Touya had agreed

to join him.

 

It took many years of training for Touya to learn even half the techniqes he knew now, but he had put all his heart into it. He eventually would become the master of ice and Jin could think of no one better suited for it.

 

The images shifted and Jin could barely make out the form of Touya standing in the center a dimly lit room. From out of the shadows came the voice of Risho addressing the sullen figure. “You've done so well my dear Touya, you must be very proud.”

 

“I will not give in to pride. I know I am capable of doing better.”

 

“You must not be so hard on yourself, it clouds your beautiful face.” The imaginary Risho stepped out from the shadows and approached Touya.

 

“Sir?”

 

“I love watching you Touya, you are quite a specticle to behold.” The two were now face to face, so close that one could feel the others breath upon there necks.

 

“Sir, please no. . .” But Touya's statement was not completed. Risho had joined them, their lips connecting, their breathing stalled. Risho's hands began to fondle Touya, easily removing the loose shirt, exposing naked flesh. Risho's lips traveled downwards, his tongue making small circles on the bare chest. But Touya pushed him away, shoved him, and began to hurriedly pull his shirt back on. But Risho would not be quieted so easily.

 

“How dare you deny your master!”

 

“It is not right Risho. I will not submit.” This was perhaps the worst thing Touya could have uttered. Risho was now set in a rage so black and deadly that fire burned in his eyes. He had never been rejected and he would not allow this child to be the first. But even through his rage, Risho still spoke as softly as if nothing had transpired.

 

“But why do you reject me Touya, when you know of my feelings for you? I have admired you from afar for so long now and Jin finally brought you to me.”

 

“Jin. . .?”

 

“Why of course. He only wants you to be happy. And you will be happy with me.” Touya stood very still. He did not believe Risho and he vowed that he never would. “I do not want you to deny me what I want Touya, and you should know that if you do then your friend will suffer.”

 

“Nani?”

 

“Every time you deny me I shall inflict upon your friend the worst pain you can imagine. I shall send assassins for him, and bounty hunters. You'd be surprised what some demons will do for a piece of a shinobi.”

 

“Who are you speaking of Risho?”

 

“Why Jin of course. . .” Touya could not move. Risho's threat had been a heavy one and Touya didn't not want to take the chance that he was telling the truth. He would do what Risho wanted. . .to protect Jin. “There now, that's better.” Risho began to start his assault on Touya again, removing their clothes until there was nothing left. Risho laid Touya down and mounted him, and before he entered him he whispered one thing into his ear. “I will make you love me my little ice crystal. I will make you love me forever. . .”

 

Jin stared on in horror as he watched Risho and Touya. He watched as Touya was violated again and again, with pain swelling in the young ice demon's face. Jin realized that the pain he was feeling was nothing to that of Touya's. To go through that day after day was something Jin could never imagine, but worst of all was the fact that Jin had caused it. He was the reason for Touya's torment, he was the reason for it all.

 

The images faded, and new ones took its place. Risho was planning on showing Jin all the sessions he and Touya had joined in, and every one was more brutal then the last. Jin dwelled no longer on his own pain and focused only on his friend's, and after each image passed he thought only one phrase. . .

 

I'm sorry for this Touya. . .I'm sorry for it all. . .
