Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Secrets of the mind ❯ More Trouble + An Introduction ( Chapter 3 )

Disclaimer: You know the routine… I don't own YYH blah blah blah

 

Neptune's Daughter: Well, here goes the next chapter; hopefully it'll be a decent length for once, meaning over a page. Well I'm trying, I was just trying to get a chapter out since it had been so long, but this one's for real.

 

Anyway, I just have to say this: It is incredibly hard to hold a conversation with your best friend's boyfriend and vice-versa… I don't know why but it is. Has anyone else noticed that? It's kinda weird Yeah, well whatever; I'm only saying this because I'm attempting it right now…

 

Oh, and just to show that I do have a life… sorta… not really… I have a boyfriend. Just because hardly anyone else can see him, does NOT mean he doesn't exist. Though the fact that I also consider him a stalker does make the boyfriend thing a little weird

 

Nemarske: I am NOT a stalker.

 

Neptune's Daughter: Whatever

 

Nemarske: But I'm not…

 

Neptune's Daughter: You follow me around, and you won't go away, I consider that being a stalker.

 

Nemarske: It's my job, you know that.

 

Neptune's Daughter: Yes, I know. But it still fun to call you a stalker. But I'm starting the story now.

 

 

Kurama's POV

 

I need to find a way out of here. But how? These chains are just about the strongest I've ever seen, and I don't have anything with me to break them. Not to mention my spirit energy seems to be missing, I can't feel it at all. I think its something in the chains doing it; otherwise they wouldn't have been so confident that I wouldn't strike back before.

But now they're coming again. I retreat into the deeper parts of my mind but this time they try a physical lashing. I don't make a sound. As a Youko I went through worse, but in this body, it is a terrible pain. I don't know how bad it is, but I almost black out from it. Just before I'm sure I can't take anymore, they leave.

After a few minutes, I'm able to take full inventory of my surroundings. There is only one door to the room, on the other side of the cell, and far beyond my reach. Without my spirit energy, I can't free myself of the chains, and I can't seem to think straight long enough to formulate a plan. I stand there, most of my weight on the chains, and wait, hoping for rescue.

After a few hours, I'm almost bored. I try yet again to make a plan, but I instead, drift off into an uneasy sleep.

 

Hiei's POV

Where is he? I should be able to find him with my Jagan, but I can't seem to get anything more than a general direction, and even that is a strain. This isn't normal; they must have done something to shield the place. But I'll find them, I know I will… I have too.

 

Kurama's POV

I suppose that by now they've convinced Koenma to let them go on a rescue mission, but how will they find me? Hiei has his Jagan, but my thought patterns are weak, and if they have mind control, they most likely have this place shielded. I've got to do something, but what? I try to tap into my spirit energy, but I'm still unable too.

Before I have a chance to do anything more, the creatures come again. They seem determined to make me scream but I won't. Never I WON'T scream, no matter what.

 

Narrator's POV

Kurama's point of view wouldn't be of much help right now. This time they probe his mind and throw the most painful images they can at him. The least of which were things that we could probably imagine, but wouldn't want too. He bites his lip, still unwilling to scream or actually in this case cry. He cringes back from the images, but they are everywhere and though his mind searches for an escape he can't find one. It intensifies until he falls into unconsciousness, the only place the pain can't reach him.

 

Hiei's POV

They're hurting his mind. It at least helps me find him, but how bad must it be for him to be this hurt by it, to break through their shield. They won't live after I find them.

“Hiei, where is he?” asks Yusuke worriedly.

“That way, I'm not sure what they're doing, but it's painful.” I just hope we get there before it's to late. My best friend is not going to die, or go insane.

 

Kurama's POV

Where are they? I can't stand it anymore. It they try again I'll break down completely. Come on guys, before they're back, before I'm gone, before I break down.

“Can't you speak?” says the dark figure whom I hadn't noticed before. I don't speak, I refuse to speak among these creatures. They take down their hood and I am surprised to see a young youkai girl who looked as though she had never smiled, “Please, can you talk, that's what they want. Then they won't hurt you as much. Then again, is eventual freedom worth the pain to you?” I stare at her, wondering if she is telling the truth.

“Come,” said one of the others, hood up as always, “Once you speak, you can't leave. But that is no matter, you will speak anyway, they all do.”

“Only, in the chains is this true, if you want freedom, don't speak in them,” the young youkai said as she walked out of the room.

I had know that I shouldn't speak and now I knew why, though I didn't know how such a thing was possible. But now that I knew it strengthened my resolution not to speak, and I knew I never would.
