Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ The Tournament ❯ Wake Up Kurama! ( Chapter 6 )

Wake Up Kurama!

"Well how is he?" Yusuke asked the healer as she left the comatose Kurama in his room.

She raised her head slowly, "He has the possibility of waking in time for the fight but I wouldn't count on it."

"But he's been asleep for three days!"

"I'm sorry but there's nothing more that I can do for him," the flustered healer said as she walked herself to the door.

"This is just great!" Yusuke moaned, "We're going to be down two fighters because someone has to stay behind in case he wakes up. Now what are we going to do? The fight is later this afternoon!"

Hiei watched Yusuke carefully, "We should stay here until the last possible moment in case he awakens. If he still isn't awake then three of us will go and one of us will stay."

Yusuke raised his head, "Alright so who are we going to leave behind?"

"I'll stay," Sasha offered, "This is more of your fight than mine so go out there and win. I will make sure that Kurama is alright."

"Okay so apparently we wait three hours and then we head out," Yusuke concluded, "and while I'm waiting, I'm going to get some sleep. All this worrying about Kurama has made me tired."

Kuwabara stood to walk to his own room, "I think I'll do the same. What about you shorty?"

"Hn," Hiei snorted, "I don't tire like you humans do."

"Whatever," Kuwabara said with a yawn.

"See ya in three hours," Yusuke called.

Three hours later they were all gathered at the foot of the stairs waiting for Sasha to come down with news about Kurama. It was nerve racking to just stand there and Yusuke was about ready to go up and find her. Finally she appeared at the top of the stairs, without Kurama. She sighed and shook her head.

Yusuke's shoulder's dropped, "Okay then that means that it's just us you guys."

As soon as the three men had left, Sasha returned to Kurama's room. There was something about that ice attack that had completely drained him of his strength. Laying a hand upon his forehead she dove into his mind to see if she could discover what was keeping unconcious.

Once inside his mind she found that his spirit was still hiding somewhere to protect him from attacks. Wandering around aimlessly she saw a flash of silver and red to her right. Cautioniously she wandered in that direction to see what was happening.

`You have to wake up!' a deep voice boomed.

`I can't!' a softer voice whispered, `I've tried.'

`Then try again.'

`I have!'

`Then accept me.'

`No I can't. I swore I wouldn't.'

`Forget your stupid promise!'

`No! I can't. I am not you. I am Shuichii Minamono not Kurama!'

`You are one in the same. You are both Shuichii Minamono and Kurama.'

`Not anymore! I refuse!'

`One day you'll learn to except it.'

`Never.'

`Well I will help you anyways pathetic being! With out my help you would surely be in this coma for longer. Now I'm sick of fighting with you so leave!' And the next thing Sasha knew, she was back in reality and Kurama was gazing up at her masked face with curious eyes.

"Sasha," he whispered.

"Yes."

"Where are the others?"

She sighed, "They left to fight Team Kage."

"How long have I been like this?"

"Three days."

"I have to help the others."

Sasha now glared at him, "Next time. Right now you are going to regain your strength and that's final."

"Yes ma'am," Kurama muttered as he drifted off into a normal sleep.
