Keshiki, Kurai, Fuyu & Minora are mine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kurama's heart beat wildly. His slender frame shook with renewed revulsion. His emerald eyes looked Fuyu in the eye, their glints spoke a message of intense abomination. He said very softly. "You disappoint me, Fuyu. I expected you to be subtle than this. If you wanted to bed me, you didn't need to seek an audience." Fuyu slapped him hard on the face and pulled at the red hair tightly. Kurama gazed back at him coldly. "Hate and curse me all you want, but I will have you. I'll drink every drop of your blood and while carrion eaters devour that insignificant body of yours, I'm going to take your form once again! How does that sound to you?" Fuyu asked maliciously. "Pathetic." Kurama snorted. Fuyu growled angrily and raised his hand to hit the redhead on the face again and again and again. Kurama's forehead, nose, and mouth were bleeding and swollen by the time Fuyu stopped. The youko was lying face down on the ground, coughing blood. He wiped at his bleeding face and stared transfixed at the blood on his hand. Unexpectedly, he laughed. "What the?" Fuyu swore and grasped the redhead again. "Come on, Fuyu! He is toying with us! If you keep on with this, he might get a chance to escape!" Minora warned him. "NO! No, please stop it!" Yukina screamed. Her heart was bleeding for Kurama. "SHUT UP!" Minora growled and slapped her. "DON'T HURT HER!" Kurama shouted and attempted to stand on his feet. Fuyu pushed him back down. "I believe we have some unfinished business." He said and ripped the youko's tunic open. *************** "GODS!" Kuwabara suddenly screamed, clutching at his head. "Kuwabara, what's wrong?" Yusuke asked worriedly. "Yu-Yukina, she's in agony...." The orange-hair youth ground out, clenching his fist. His tall frame was shaking. Keshiki eyed the two worriedly. He felt something sinister happening at that very moment Kuwabara screamed. "Yusuke, Kuwabara, I'll meet you there!" He said and disappeared. "WAIT!" Yusuke cursed. Keshiki was gone. He looked over at Kuwabara who had stood up and was wearing a very grim look on his face. "I know where they are." *************** Kurama's eyes glinted from green to gold as he pushed at Fuyu's seeking, greedy mouth. Fuyu snarled impatiently. His gray eyes turned blue in an instant. Kurama found himself held down again by an icy grip on his arms and legs. Fuyu's long, ebony hair cascaded on his face. The youkai licked Kurama's soft, bruised left cheek. "Now youko, I'm going to make you mine." Fuyu bent down again when he felt a glowing energy whizzed past his head. "LET HIM GO NOW!" The authoritative voice rang out loud on the suddenly quiet makai forest. Minora let go of Yukina and Fuyu stood up slowly. Kurama turned his head and gasped as he beheld his rescuer. "Y-Yomi!" *************** Yomi scowled very angrily at the sight of Kurama being rendered helpless and the youkai, Fuyu, taking advantage of the youko's vulnerability. The blind youkai's energy flared. He would not allow anyone to violate his fox! "So, Yomi, we meet again." Fuyu said slowly and licked his lips. Minora came to stand beside him. "You've had your chance to escape, Fuyu. But you wasted the opportunity. Now, surely you are going to die." The makai lord said contemptuously. Yukina ran to Kurama and embraced him fearfully. The youko pulled at his arms and legs to free himself, disregarding the wounds and the profuse bleeding. "Ku-Kurama-san." Yukina cried softly. Kurama kissed the ice maiden's forehead gently. "It's all right, Yukina." He said, gazing back worriedly at Yomi. He knew that Yomi was a powerful youkai, but two against one was something else. And Fuyu and Minora were no already demons, besides he wanted to finish Fuyu all by himself. He stood up gingerly as Yukina supported him. "Kurama-san, you're still hurt. Please don't fight anymore." Yukina implored him. Kurama smiled at her reassuringly. "Yukina, I can handle myself." He said and frowned. "Now go, you've got to get out of here!" "No! I can't leave you!" Yukina said stubbornly. Kurama sighed and looked back at the three youkai. Minora had stepped forward and pointed arrogantly at the blind makai lord. "I challenge you to a duel!" Yomi nodded his head and smiled coldly. "I want to fight Fuyu, but if you insist!" Yomi said and disappeared. Minora stood very still and felt for the youkai's ki, the thick fog started to appear again. Kurama and Fuyu stared at one another. Yukina stiffened beside the redhead. Fuyu smiled and with a scream released his energy. At the same time, Yukina suddenly pushed herself before Kurama. Her ruby eyes began to glow as the cold air began to chill once again. "Yukina!" Kurama held the stiff shoulders back, but Yukina did not budge. Kurama watched in awe as a gust of icy snowstorm met and clashed with Fuyu's rough icy hurricane. Kurama held the ice maiden back as the two forces exploded between them and Fuyu. Fuyu himself had shrank back from the explosion. All three stood up and gazed at the quickly clearing air. Yukina had managed to equalize Fuyu's icy assault. Fuyu's body shook angrily. His hair started to blow wildly about his face. "Ice woman, I will make you regret for what you did! You will perish with the youko!" The youkai said savagely, releasing more energy. His whole body glowed with power. Kurama tried his best to cover the dainty ice maiden bodily. The whole site was gradually covered with ice and floating pointed icicles started straight at them. "Rose whip!" Kurama brandished his weapon against the swiftly attacking transparent crystals. He knew that they were not just ordinary icicles. Once any of those tiny diamond-like weapons touch any part of the body, they were going to sift through the system and induce paralysis. His arms and legs were still stiff after his last encounter with them. Yukina released her energy enthusiastically beside Kurama, exploding the icicles with icy storms of her own concoction. "Yukina, how are you holding up?" Kurama asked. "I-I'm fine."
The ice maiden answered, narrowly missing one flying crystal, but
Kurama had seen that and frowned. They
were not going to last if they kept this up.
He had to do something. The
youko grasped Yukina's shoulder's protectively as Fuyu came closer. ******************************* ******************************* |
