Scared

 

Chapter 7

 

I'm going to kill my mother. I seethed as I watched Haru pulled her away from the stables. She planned this I know it! I walked over to Ben, the stable boy and helped him saddle the chestnut mare that Kurama had chosen. Her name was Daphne...I remember vaguely Lin telling me something about naming this horse after a Greek Mythology. Once I got the bit into her mouth, I threw the reins over her head and knotted them at the end. Ben had finished with the saddle and went to fetch Kurama. I looked at Daphne and pat her nose. "Be a good girl and I'll give you all the sugar cubes you want." I smiled as she neighed and pushed me with her head. I laughed and shook my head. "Now I'm talking to animals..." I rolled my eyes and whistles for Ying. He trotted up to me and the other Daphne. I grabbed his rein and went to his saddle on the right side. I put my right foot in the stirrup and pulled myself up as I swung the other over. I sat down on the saddle and leaned over grabbed Daphne's reins. I began to lead her toward Kurama as Ben brought him closer. "I'm guessing Hiei isn't coming." I stated. I mentally sighed in relief. I don't know how, but these two youkai make my emotions run wild.

 

"Correct, he decided to look around on his own." Kurama said as Ben helped him mount up on Daphne. I nodded and looked at Ben.

 

"Thanks for the help kid." I smiled and tossed him a few yen. He winked at me and run off. I turned Ying around toward the mountain. "Come on Kurama!" I said as Ying raced off. I turned to see him race after me. I crouched myself lower and made sure to keep in Kurama's sight as we headed up a mountain trail. My heart raced as he got closer.

 

I don't know why...but I always felt weird when Kurama and Hiei were around. Like when Kurama was getting beaten by that dumbass, I forget his name, in the Dark Tournament after he fought Touya. Yea, well...it seriously pissed me off. Before even I knew what was happening, I had just pointed my finger at the guy. The whole time he talked I was deciding whether to blow his heart out or make his brains go splat. I was a very hard decision, lucky I didn't need to make one. The guy then got the shit beat out of him by me. Ha! Insert the evil laugh here because that's what I'm doing in my head. I didn't notice Ying slowing down or Kurama catching up. All I could think about was being victorious and dragging the guy who hurt Kurama to hell. Bwahahaha!

 

"Yusuke?" I blinked out of my state of happiness and evilness. Kurama was looking at me, while trying to hold back his laughter. "Are you okay?" He asked. I shrugged and then made Ying walk a bit faster.

 

"Don't want to be late!" I said not explaining what I was talking about. Kurama rode next to me asking me what I was talking about. I just told him to wait and see.

 

After a while of going up the mountain, I stopped Ying at a cliff and sat there watching the horizon. The sun was setting letting the sky light up with colors. I heard Kurama stop beside me. I could feel his awe as the sun made the sky a shade of purple, orange, and pink.

 

"Marvelous...." He said in a whisper. I smiled and tilted my head as I continued to watch the sunset.

 

"Yea...I come up here when I need to think." I said to him. I could feel my mood change into something I couldn't describe. I knew I had to close my eyes. I was told by my mother that my eyes give away who I am and what I feel. The windows to my soul. Right now, I didn't need someone looking into them.

Kurama turned to see Yusuke's close his eyes. His body relaxed under the cool fall breeze. Kurama inhaled deeply to catch his scent. Yusuke smelt like the wind and the earth. Rainstorms, snow, water...he had it all. That's one of things Kurama loved about Yusuke. He watched as the younger boy opened his eyes and looked at disappearing sun.

 

/I admire his strength.../ Youko spoke softly in Kurama's head.

 

/Yes...but to hide his past this well until now. It makes you wonder...what else is he hiding?/ Kurama responded as he watched Yusuke turn and smile at him.

 

/Such beautiful eyes.../ Youko said in a soft voice.

 

/I want to learn more of Yusuke...it has been too long since we have seen him. His eyes have changed.../ The alter-ego said to his youko.

 

/Let's stay near him then.../ Youko said. /Protect him...as we did before...and he did with us./ Kurama nodded and smiled at Yusuke. The sun was gone and the crescent moon was out. Yusuke's eyes seemed to glow with power as the moonlight shined on him. Kurama silently wondered on this.

 

"Yusuke, shall we go back?"

 

--- (Yusuke's POV)

 

I turned to Kurama because of his silence and saw him staring at me. I smiled at him. I was glad he was smiling back, it made me happy. I felt the moonlight glow on me. In these past three years I've learned something about myself. I am more of a nature person than I originally thought. Hence why I got beach front property. The sounds of water made me feel free. The wind calmed when people would not...or could not. My mother understood and that's why our walks are always in the park. I was happy and content. Why did my stepfather have to take that away?

 

I suddenly felt Kurama's arm around my waist. I jumped and looked at him. He pulled me off Ying and onto Daphne in front of him. I felt myself blush as I looked up at him.

 

"What are you doing Kurama?" I asked him. He kept his hands on my waist as he grinned at me.

 

"It would be warmer this way..." He said leaning down to my shoulder. "Its getting dark and I don't want you to catch a cold." I blushed more as he turned Daphne around and headed back. I whistled for Ying, who calm followed us. Kurama kept a hand on my waist as he headed back. I tried to get my emotions under control before they started to go haywire. I always had this....thing...for Kurama. I think my mother knows, but I never said anything. So being this close to Kurama, with his hand on my hip. It was kind of like an overload for me. I guess I could deal with it, until we got back...right?

Once we got back I put Ying away and unsaddled him. I smiled as Kurama was learning from Ben how to take care of a horse. I left him to that and went to my room. I yawned as I got in it. I locked my door and headed to the shower pulled my shirt off my body. My pants and boxers came off after I got into the bathroom. I went into the shower and opened the water. The warm liquid ran over my head and down my body. I washed my hair and then my body. I felt all my worries wash away. I stood in the shower for a while. The water hitting my back...it felt relaxing. I would stay here all day if I could.

 

I soon stepped out of the shower and dried off. I put on a pair of silk dark green fighting pants that tightened around my ankles. I used them for pajamas pants because they didn't chaffed when I don't wear my boxers to bed. When I started to dry my hair, Haru knocked at my door. I answered it and looked at Haru.

 

"Yusuke-san, Dinner is ready..." Haru bowed. I shook my head.

 

"I'm not hungry Haru, tell mother to have them start without me. I'm going to bed." I told him as he turned I added. "Tell my mother that I will get her back. She'll know what you mean." Haru bowed and left. I closed my door and locked it again. After my hair was dry I crawled into bed and lied on my back. I stared at the ceiling before getting up and putting a t-shirt on. I nearly forgot I'm in a house with Hiei and Kurama. Mustn't let them see my scars. I got back into bed and sighed. Putting my hands behind my head I stared at the ceiling.

 

I started to think back to the Dark Tournament and Sensui. Fighting along side Kurama, Hiei, hell even Kuwabara. Those were the days. Koenma always barking orders at us and I would always call him toddler. I smirked and chuckled to myself. I turned onto my side and looked up toward the window I always kept open. I took a breath of the forest air that came through it and closed my eyes. I slowly drifted asleep to the sounds and smells of the forest outside these walls.

 

--- (Dreams will now be in Italics)

 

I stood glaring at Sensui. I slowly started to walk toward him in my beaten state. Sensui glowed and started to run toward me. I stopped and watched him. I heard Kuwabara and the others fall from the dimension they were being held in. I turned toward them and smirked. They all watched with wide eyes as Sensui pierced my chest...my heart. My smirk disappeared as I heard Sensui talk to me in a low voice so only I could hear.

 

"Takimori will have your whole being and soul yet..." I couldn't say anything as I died. But somehow...I felt my body being flown back. Once it hit the ground though everything turned black. My body stayed and some way I felt someone choking me. I couldn't struggle because let's face it...I was dead...AGAIN. They continued to choke my body and I felt it not knowing what to do.

 

"You will be mine Yusuke! Now...and forever...." I was frightened and surprised. My stepfather...I felt his hands roam over my dead body as he began to take off my pants. I screamed. It worked...I shocked him with the ability to use my voice. I struggled as I screamed again. Nothing worked he was strong. He was going to have his way with me. NO! I felt tears pour down my face from my eyes. Not again! I don't want to go back to that...please! No!

"No!" I sat up as I awoke. My breathing was ragged and short. I panted as I bent one knee and put my arm on it. I turned my head slightly and looked out the window to see it was still dark out. The moon was high in the sky but I could still see it, the window was just that big. Midnight maybe? I took a deep breath of the air coming through the window. It smelled like midnight...don't ask me how I know from the smell. I just do and no it has nothing to do with my demon blood. I keep that locked away.

 

I stood and when to the dresser to grab my cigarettes. After pulling one out and putting it in my mouth, I pocketed the pack. I picked up the lighter and lit my cigarette before pocketing the lighter too. I walked to the window and sat on the sill as I smoked my cigarette.

 

Damn dream....they all eventually led to something having to do with Takimori. Even my dreams about my death! I can't believe this. Are my dreams telling me something? Not that I'm into that crap, but I need to know why they show up now of all times.

 

I put out the cigarette in the ashtray that I always kept on the window sill and decide to do something. I walked to the door and silently unlocked it. I grabbed my black fighting slippers and put those on as I got into the hall closing the door behind me. I crept down the hallway and stairs heading to the dojo.

 

I walked into the dojo silently and headed to the swords. I allowed my hands to hover over the deadly blades. I always hated swords. Even against Hiei...I was glad Kurama had come when he did back then. Though he got stabbed, I was relieved to hear he was okay and would make it. I smiled slightly. I don't know how I got two wonderful demons on my side...but I'm glad I know them.

 

I was thinking too deeply to hear the slicing of the air. Something grazed my arms which was the arm I hand over the blades. That caused my hands to move over the blade cutting my palm. I froze as I moved my bleeding hand so I could see it. Flashes of my memories ran before my eyes. The sword swinging through the air, the woman falling dead to the ground, him starting to swing it at me. I clenched my hand digging my nails into the cut. I watched the red liquid flood over my nails and palm.

 

Someone grabbed my palm and pried it open. I felt a cool hand bandaged my hand. I looked up to see two ruby red eyes staring at me intently. I blinked. What did I do wrong?
