Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ School isn't a way of life ❯ CHapter 5 ( Chapter 5 )

“Our death's huh? Who woulda thought I have so much to live for.” Yuusuke said sarcastically as he came to sit in the middle of the room. Nothing had changed since their host's little announcement.

“Yuusuke you shouldn't be so care free. We have no idea what he's capable of,” Kurama eyed the surroundings, “besides we haven't been here that long. He said our death's would be accommodating perhaps we should leave before things go bad.” The spirit fox was feeling more then cornered his entire being was shouting out anxiety. He was twitching and looking every which way. It looked casual to the naked eye but Yuusuke could tell the fox was having a freak attack.

Well what do you know? I guess it's true. You're acting just like a caged animal so nervous dear Youko.

Kurama and Yuusuke both looked up surveying their surroundings as they came to stand back to back with one another. Their eyes followed the entire expanse of the room. Looking for who had spoke. Both tense as they seem to find nothing; site wise and power.

“Where do you think he is?” Yuusuke asked swaying slightly as he held his guard. The room seemed stuffy to him. This wasn't like when they came in, he thought.

“Kurama something's… Kurama?” Yuusuke asked as Kurama leaned onto his back almost as if Yuusuke was all that was holding Kurama up. The teenage boy swore as he held Kurama in his grasp. This wasn't looking too good.

“O how cute the human out lasted the demon shame I say I wanted to see his face when he realized this was a trap.” Yuusuke's captor purred as the boy took one look at the man before his gaze fell black. His captor smiled evilly catching the too as they fell forward no longer conscious enough to stand. Picking them up he carried them easily out of the room and into the recesses of the castle they were currently in.

“YUUSUKE!!!” Kurama cried out in pain as he was awaken from his forced sleep. The captor of the two boys was standing over Kurama, whip in hand as he faced the red head's back. He drew his arm back and swung again the wipe hitting Kurama's back with a snap. Again he called out to Yuusuke trying to wake the boy watching in pain as he hung by his wrists asleep. As this sick excuse for a being whipped him.

“Dammit YUUSUKE WAKE UP!!” Kurama screamed at the top if his lungs before he let out an ear-piercing scream.

“Yuusuke.” He whimpered. The man behind him was becoming brutal with his strikes. If he continued at this rate it wouldn't matter if his victim were human or naught.

Slowly yet steadily Yuusuke awoke to the cries of Kurama as his blurry vision locked on to Kurama and someone else. Just blurry images but all the same. He knew what was happening.

“L-let him…go. Don't…”Yuusuke said softly no one heard him, and he watched in horror as the whip was brought bad and hit Kurama so hard the fox's chain snapped that was holding his arms to the wall and he fell forward. His only support the one other shackle keeping him suspended.

“Don't fucking touch him!!!!” Yuusuke yelled throughout the castle silencing everyone. The whip clattered to the floor and Kurama's rigid breathing was harshly loud as they sat in a soon to last silence.

“So the human lives on.” The cretin in black mused. As he stepped away from Kurama heading straight for Yuusuke as he picked up the whip.

“Who the hell are you?!” Yuusuke spat as the man in black came in front of him.

“Why, I am the master of this castle, Takashi Ishi at your service.” Takashi answered mockingly as he came to stand directly behind Yuusuke. He held the whip as he ran it a cross the detective's back.

“Do you know why I brought you here young detective?” He mused as his eyes followed the whip as if it were something invaluable to him.

“Because you're an evil guy that gets off on young people. How the hell should I know!?” Yuusuke shouted as he steeled himself. He knew what had happened to Kurama. If he knew as much as he thought he knew what was coming.

“Cocky, I say but no one listens. Yet you flowed right to me as a river does an ending. How is it so that you went below and showed, yet your sure sign instincts were to be far from my lair.” Takashi spoke in riddles as he traced Yuusuke's back around his neck. The wipe leaving goose bumps in its trail.

“I don't back down from a fight and running has never been my style.” Yuusuke retorted smugly, before crying out as the whip snaked through his back.

“Your over judgment on society. With your cocky attitude and not knowing when to bend will earn you your death young Detective.” Takashi said angrily his hand coming back multiple times, as strike-by-strike hit Yuusuke's back. The boy bit his lip, blood trailing down his chin as he refused to cry out or show any signs of pain.

 

Kurama's eyes opened slowly as he heard an insistent snap. Looking up when his vision cleared, he gasp.

“Yuusuke.” He whimpered trying to break the chains. With all the strength he had Kurama tried to break the last chain, whimpering like a cornered animal. The whip stopped suddenly along with it the insistent snap. Takashi looked at Kurama smiling evilly as he took in the spirit fox's situation. The all mighty Youko Kurama was currently chained to a wall, whimpering as he tried to do something to help the spirit detective he was chasing.

“So Kurama, how long were you planning to lie to the young spirit detective.” Takashi said as the whip trailed Yuusuke's back again as the boy shivered looking at Kurama for any hint of what the psycho behind him was talking about.

“Kurama?” He rasped roughly as he looked up his back protesting the slightest of movements. Just the look on Kurama's face told Yuusuke what he needed to know. His head dropped and to Kurama it seemed as if it was in slow motion. "Yuusuke, I'm so sorry. I hadn't planned this." Kurama said as his voice wavered only slightly. The words seemed to ring through the room before Yuusuke snapped. "Planned on what. You and I getting kidnapped. Me actually being a real person. Not being able to fight me. Tell me Kurama what didn't you plan on!?" Yuusuke yelled the chains holding him up clashing as he moving harshly in his anger.

Kurama sat there his gaze not wavering from Yuusuke as he saw how the boy reacted. How was he going to tell Yuusuke the truth? Surely he wouldn't believe him now even if it was the truth they were both looking for. "I'm sorry." Was all Kurama let out as he let his head drop before it flew back up the whip kissing his back as he hissed out his pain. Yuusuke kept his head down, ignoring Kurama's cries as the whip beat down on him repeatedly. He lied; Kurama had lied to him, even though he had trusted him. Yuusuke was still as Kurama's cries became more pained and when the fox started screaming his resolve broke and he flinched every time the whip came down. Biting his lip so hard blood ran down his chin.

As a harsh cry rang through again Yuusuke made up his mind. His hands fisted and his head shot up.

"Leave him the fuck alone. If you're going to torture anyone leave him alone. Take me instead." He yelled out a cross the room Takashi grinning evilly with his back to Yuusuke

"Yuusuke no!" Kurama cried as Takashi let the whip drag on the floor leaving Kurama in stunned silence as he watch him walk over to Yuusuke. The whip rising in the air again. Yuusuke's eyes were tightly closed as his breathing was labored. His body knowing the strike was coming just not when. Just as Yuusuke took a shaky breath it was knocked out of him as the whip came down. Crack, crack, crack. Takashi was relentless as he pulled the whip back and let it fly again " That all you got old man?" Yuusuke asked cockily as his body heaved his features beyond exhausted as he shot comments at Takashi. Kurama watched from a far his yells at Yuusuke and Takashi ignored as the Man continued whipping Yuusuke to the brink. "Stop, Please, Takashi you're going to kill him!!" Kurama screamed the shackle biting into his wrist as he pulled on his binding. Takashi's smile turned into a sadistic smirk as he answered Kurama. "That's the objective, foxy." Kurama stared wide-eyed his thrashing against the chain even more persistent at the answer he received. The pain in his wrist long forgotten as the blood rained down his arms. His hair plastered to his face as he tried to get out, but it was useless and his will was fading to a dim hope as his growls turned to whimpers and Yuusuke's head lulled to the side. The whip still striking his back. His only body movement caused by the harsh smack of the whip. Kurama's resolve broke, his eyes finally letting the tears he was holding back shed. His shoulders shook, as he whimpered. "Yuusuke, Yuusuke, Y-yuusuke." he chanted his body racking with sobs as he choked through the words. "Yuusuke!!" He yelled and when the boy didn't answer he kept yelling his name. Kurama ignored as Takashi came towards him. The whip bloody as it came towards him. As it came in contact with his skin. He still shouted out Yuusuke's name. His pain he ignored. His mind was repeating one thing. Yuusuke. "Yuusuke!!" He screamed again his voice going horse as he continued to scream ignoring the feeling as blood dripped down his front. As the whip made contact with his front. He screamed repeatedly not wanting to believe Yuusuke was dead. "Believe what you will Kurama, your little pet is dead, and he's going to stay that way. Perhaps you'll learn to obey" Takashi said as he grabbed Kurama by the hair and wretched him back so he could run the blood soaked whip a cross his neck, along his collar bone, and down his front before pulling his arm back and throwing it forward hitting Kurama with renewed vigor. The man almost laughed as he saw the blood fall from Kurama, the deep gashes putting such a contrast against his pale white skin.

"You sick fuck." Kurama whispered as the whip hit his back once again, it was almost as if the hits were knocking the life out of him. So very tired. His whisper fell on death's door as he whispered again one last time.

"Yuusuke..." The name was drawn out as Kurama closed his eyes slowly and the room grew dark. Takashi dropped the whip with a clatter, as the room grew dark for him as well.

 

"What is this?" Takashi whispered as the room grew cold Kurama's shaky breath visible as well as his own as his eyes adjusted to the dim light. He looked around for the source of the light. "Kurama..." It was whispered as brokenly as Kurama had whispered Yuusuke's own name but moments before. Takashi stepped back his body shaking visibly.

“I just fucking killed you, you have to be joking me. The three worlds must despise me." He said as he targeted the glow his hands came up as his awareness shot out but he wasn't fast enough as he heard the chains snap. The light brightening as it got closer. The chill dissipating as the power source got closer. His death in his own hands as he realized his mistake.

Yuusuke stood, Takashi's dead body falling forward towards him as he pushed it away. With a snap of his fingers the room was alit once more. Kurama's state making his eyes widen. He stepped forward unsteadily as if he was floating.

Yuusuke rushed over to Kurama, ignoring the dizziness as it over came him. When he was finally face to face with the red head. He grimaced as beautiful as Kurama looked a blood soaked angel isn't how Yuusuke wanted to see him much longer.

Yuusuke gently lifted kurama off the ground, grimacing again as the cuff imbedded in Kurama's skin fell of with a sick swish. Yuusuke held Kurama with one hand as he broke the cuff with the other. Rubbing Kurama's wrists. Yuusuke grabbed his coat draping it around Kurama as he took one last look at Takashi's dead body before walking out of the palace killing anyone in his way.

Once out of the castle's limits he turned one, hand holding Kurama as the other was aimed at the fortress they had just left. Without thinking twice he fired watching as the building was engulfed in flames. He turned grabbing Kurama so he held him bridal style before he began to go to his home. Walking deeper into the forest instead of out of it he pulled out his cell phone. Dialing a number he waited.

"Hi Ms. Minamino, this is Yuusuke. I go to school with Shuuichi. He came over today after school to help me with my studies, and he fell asleep on my couch. I was wondering if he would be allowed to stay over and we could go to school together tomorrow?" Yuusuke said innocently as he lied to Kurama's mother. When she said yes he hung up, turned his phone off, and jumped through the rift between the makai and the ningen world. It sealed behind him as he jumped through. Once on the other side. He headed to his home. Secluded in the deep forests as he ran farther and farther into the wild parts of the makai. He smiled slightly when he realized Kurama was fine as he heard the spirit fox murmur his name. Yuusuke ran swiftly, yet gracefully trying not to injure Kurama further. He came to a cliff where he jumping gliding down, shocked at how far he fell how slow Yuusuke almost tripped when he came in contact with the ground. Shrugging it off as dying, again. He continued running the towering cliff shadowing his appearance in the area. He ran still almost as if he was out running the shadow. He finally slowed down as he came to a den it was hidden behind shrubbery that disappeared as it sensed him coming. He walked into the den and over to the bed setting Kurama down as he left again. He gathered herbs, medicine, and water before returning. As he walked in he noted Kurama was wide awake his eyes wide.

"Yuusuke?" Kurama questioned and Yuusuke looked up as he brought some water to the fox's lips. "What?" Yuusuke asked. "Why are we here," he fidgeted, "why are we in my den?" Kurama finished looking at a confused Yuusuke. "What do you mean? I've lived here for almost fourteen years." Yuusuke said as he grabbed a cloth dipping it in water as he ran it over Kurama's wounds watching as goose bumps formed. "Yuusuke this is my house. I lived here for three hundred years I think I'd recognize it." Kurama said holding in a moan as Yuusuke hit a sensitive wound.

"Well the hell I know. It opened for me when I asked it so I made it my home. How was I supposed to know it was yours." Yuusuke stated as he wringed the cloth out starting to work on Kurama's wounds again. "Yuusuke?" "Yea?" Yuusuke answered with out looking up. Kurama didn't say anything for a while before he reached his hand out. "You have...ears." Kurama said as he tweaked them. Yuusuke purred while the spirit fox ran his hands a long his ears and through his hair. "Yuusuke what the hell happened?" Kurama asked not getting an answer from the boy he pulled his hand back and allowed Yuusuke to come back to reality. "Yuusuke what happened?" Kurama asked again. Yuusuke thought for a moment. "Well after everything went black I kept hearing things even though I knew I should have been dead."

Yuusuke answered. "You mean like whispers or voices?" Kurama asked, as he looked Yuusuke over reaching out he pulled a black feather off of Yuusuke's shoulder. "This just keeps getting fucking weirder by the minute." Yuusuke groaned aloud as he rubbed an herb into one of Kurama's wounds. The fox looked down and was even more baffled. "Yuusuke what is that?" Kurama asked observantly. Yuusuke paused for a moment. "It's a makai flower. It's called the beloved lily. It's called that because as fragile as it looks. It can heal even the most dangerous or deathly of wounds." Yuusuke said. Kurama nodded. The boy was right. “Kuronue…” Kurama whispered remembering his old partner. He sat there and allowed Yuusuke to patch him up. He tried to sit still and keep his moans to himself but it was getting hard.

Yuusuke smirked when he heard a moan that escaped Kurama's lips. He knew what he was doing to the fox. The first time he tensed when Yuusuke had started. Yuusuke knew what was going on. His touches were seducing Kurama. OF course Yuusuke knew it wasn't on purpose and he knew Kurama was trying to hide it but he couldn't help how the fox looked right then and there when he looked up.

Yuusuke's tail moved slightly to the side drawing Kurama's attention as he tried to put his mind anywhere but where he currently was. Yuusuke gasped, Kurama was covered lightly in sweat. His lower lip between his teeth as he tried to hold back, purrs, moans, and groans. Yuusuke's hands traveled lower as applied the herbs. They dipped into Kurama's pelvic area. Kurama had no control over the moan that left his mouth, His hands tightening around the tail he was reaching for. Yuusuke jumped a pain riding up his back as he landed in Kurama's lap. The spirit fox had a tight hold on his tail. Yuusuke purring all the while.
