Chapter V: Like Rats

"Pear."

"... Quince."

"Raspberry."

"Strawberry."

"Tangerine."

"... I don't want to play this anymore..."

Yusuke sighed and glared the distance from Hiei, "Oh come on, it's fun. 'U'."

"No, I'm not playing anymore of your alphabet games, Urameshi. It's boring." Hiei said tonelessly and closed his eyes.

Yusuke frowned and stood up from his spot in the grass, his sneakers squeaked under the movement, "We probably shouldn't stay here much longer anyways, it's dangerous. I mean... That guy, Morika, he came out of nowhere, and in the Spirit World of all places."

Hiei nodded silently and stood as well, he turned to the side as if a thought had occurred to him, "Urameshi, you don't think he could be here already? In the ground underneath us? Even listening to us?"

"Well I wouldn't think so. I mean, I'd probably have noticed him by now right?" Just as if the very words had came from his mouth he felt the jinx take action. The ground seemed to bend and whine underneath them, as if it were made of clay.

Hiei's eyes widened as the rock beneath his own feet cracked and rose him up, a long beefy black hand with sharp, long nails reached out and grabbed at Hiei's boot, holding tightly around the entirety of his leg.

"Urameshi!"

Yusuke ran to Hiei and grabbed him up, his wrapping tightly around Hiei's waist, but before he could make another move something sharp stung at his right shoulder, a ripping feeling, a wet feeling, and everything went black.

Hiei's eyes widened as the Spirit Detective fell limp in his arms, "Urameshi! Yusuke!" He moved to back away before the demon below him climbed out of the ground, grabbing him around the waist, a long Scorpion-like tail whipping about around them.

"Let go of me!" Hiei said before the tail lashed out and struck him at his side, he felt an earthquake quiver underneath his skin, around his ribs and his vision began to blur, he felt as if the flu had hit him and he leaned forward just a bit before slipping into a deep sleep.

"Urameshi, Urameshi..."

Yusuke groaned before daring to open his eyes, his skull felt like it was splitting open, the wound in his shoulder throbbed with infection, it stung still and a wetness could be felt, blood, he guessed. His legs and arms groaned in pain, he lifted his left leg first and moved his arms back to lift himself up before he opened his eyes finally.

A grinding of some kind was coming from somewhere far behind him, he looked around and saw Hiei to his right, just feet away, sitting in the corner of a large cage that they both seemed to be locked in.

"Hiei," He said, a little too loudly, his voice seemed to echo throughout the cave.

The Fire Demon looked at him sternly as if to tell him to keep his voice down, Yusuke apologized with a silent nod and moved a bit closer so he could whisper better.

"Where are we?" He said, his throat was dry and cracked as he spoke.

"Morika's home, I'm guessing." Hiei whispered back lightly.

Yusuke sat up to rest his back against the side of the cage and looked around once more, speaking of that demon, where was he?

"He's been gone for a while now, I don't know when he'll be back." Hiei said, as if reading Yusuke's mind, "You've been knocked out for over a day I think. And he hasn't done anything, hasn't said a word to me. I woke up and nothing's happened since."

Yusuke furrowed his brows and noticed the entrance to the cave, "Have you tried getting out of this cage yet?"

Hiei shook his head, "No, of course not, I can hardly stand at all, let alone attempt escape. And you were knocked out, I couldn't carry you even if I wanted to."

"Hiei," Yusuke looked at the Fire Demon sadly, he seemed to lean in just a little more to stare at Hiei better. He noticed the redness of blood at Hiei's left side and a small puddle of blood, "I... I'm sorry we got caught, he was so..."

"Enough Detective." Hiei interrupted him swiftly, looking away, "I won't sit here and watch you beat yourself up about this. We got caught, it was likely to happen. What we need right now is a plan. We need to get out, and not sit here feeling sorry for what has happened because it can't be undone, we'll get nowhere that way."

Yusuke nodded in agreement at the Koorime, "I understand and even agree with you but... Hiei. I can't help thinking what could've happened while I was asleep, I wasn't awake to stop anything that could've happened to you."

Hiei raised a brow, looking back at the Spirit Detective and rolled his eyes, "Hn, it wouldn't be the first time you've been asleep and left your team mates to manage on their own. No hard feelings, I assure you."

"This time was different, Hiei. He could've killed you. And no one would've been there to stop it, not me, or Kurama, or Kuwabara." Yusuke stood up and aimed his finger at the hinges to the door of the cage and began to charge a spirit bomb, he ignored the twinging pain of his shoulder from the sting, "I won't let that happen."

Hiei watched in silence as the ball at the and of Yusuke's hands got bigger and bigger until finally he let it go, the ball reached the other side of the cage. It seemed, however, that the cage consumed the energy of Yusuke's Spirit Gun and the ball of energy merely disappeared.

Yusuke gasped in anger, "Okay, what the HELL!"

Hiei frowned at the cage door and moved to stand up before a loud rumbling came from the entrance of the cave, they both looked up in shock as a monstrous Demon came through the cave and walked past their cage and to the far depths behind them, back where Yusuke had heard the grinding sound.

The cave around them was just as big as Yusuke's house, the cave they were in was six or more times bigger, and the Demon that now sat behind them was just big enough to fit into the cage if he wanted.

Yusuke turned to Hiei, both their eyes were wide in shock, this was Morika? This Demon that could probably eat them both whole?

The Spirit Detective swallowed and moved to sit beside Hiei, he whispered to him, "Do you know what's back there?"

"Weapons, I would guess."

"Weapons," Yusuke breathed through his flared nostrils and looked back behind them but all he saw was a darkness, and all he could hear was still that same grinding sound from before, only now it was joined by a heavy breathing, "Great... Weapons of his size..."

Hiei looked at Yusuke darkly, glaring, he leaned forward, grimacing from the wound in his side, he whispered hoarsely; "No matter what he does to me, he'll get nothing he wants."

Yusuke frowned at the words Hiei was saying, how could this happen? How could he let them get caught, Yusuke couldn't be weaker then this Demon, "Hiei, I won't let him get to you, he'll have to kill me first."

"Then we will both die." Hiei said, looking down at his hands, "We'll both be dead when he wants it to happen, but..." The Koorime seemed to freeze as he said this, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Before it does I want to tell you something, Urameshi."

Yusuke tried to listen to Hiei over a new growling sound that seemed to shake the cave they were in, it was Morika, Yusuke heard a thump from behind them; he looked to Hiei worriedly, "Hiei, I think he's coming."

Hiei looked up behind them, his eyes widened as the ground below them shook, he had to do this, it was his last chance to tell Yusuke how he really felt, he had to.

The Fire Demon bit his lip before he leaned forwards and pressed his lips to Yusuke's in a soft, sincere kiss, he didn't press in hard, as much as he wanted to, he didn't want to die like this, but he was going to. He fell their bodies get closer and for a moment he thought he would melt into Yusuke. Being so lost in the kiss he hadn't realized what had tracked down his cheek and landed lightly into Yusuke's lap.

Yusuke had to admit, he was shocked and surprised at the lips that now were pressed against his own, and even had he thought of kissing Hiei millions of times before, never could he've thought that the lips against his would be as soft as they were, as gentle as they were and as small, yet full as they were.

He couldn't push away because he didn't want to, but he couldn't pull closer to Hiei because he did want to. All he had was the ability to kiss back, to feel the lips against his own, to open him mouth a little more and to taste just a swig of the sweetness that was in Hiei's mouth.

He was so busy with the feeling, and the wanting, that he didn't realize the small Tear Gem that had landed in his lap. Even had he noticed it, he ignored it or pushed it aside; unknowing what it was, and instead, just enjoyed what a kiss felt like hours but was only a few seconds.

Before Yusuke knew it, Hiei was pulling away and the ground was shaking so hard as the large Demon finally reached the entrance of their cage and opened the door.

Hiei looked at Yusuke, he said nothing, made no movements as the Demon made his way into the cage with them.

Yusuke shifted back a bit away from the enormous Demon before them, how was he suppose to fight this thing? "Hiei."

The Demon Koorime stood up and walked away, towards Morika. A large puddle of blood on the concrete floor where he had been sitting the entire time.

"No, Hiei!" Yusuke shouted as Morika scooped his hand down and grabbed Hiei up, Yusuke stood abruptly, the Tear Gem in his lap fell down to the right of his feet, he still didn't notice, he lifted his hands and charged another Spirit Gun, he let the blast go, it hit Morika directly in the side as he was turning around, but he seemed un-phased as he moved to leave the cage.

Yusuke wouldn't have it, he charged the Demon at a swift sprint, ignoring the stinging of his shoulder, and threw as many kicks and punches as he could muster. He had to save Hiei, this couldn't happen. He wouldn't let it happen.

Morika looked down at Yusuke and grinned widely, "It's not your turn yet, Yusuke Urameshi."

Yusuke's eyes widened as the Demon spoke his name in a deep, burly voice and swung his fist once, back handing Yusuke so hard he flew back to the other side of the cage where the Tear Gem sat. He slammed his back hard on the bars of the cage and fell, just barely holding himself up on his feet. He felt blood leaking down his head and a stinging in his temple before he fell forward and landed hard on the concrete floor.

He heard Hiei shout for him a few times before a scream erupted in his skull, he had to save Hiei, he had to beat Morika.

His vision blurred as he looked up, the cage door was shut once more, he could hear a tearing sound coming from somewhere nearby and Hiei's deep breathing, what was happening? What was the Demon doing to him?

Yusuke turned his head and looked out far to see Hiei glaring up at Morika as the Demon marred his skin with scolding hot irons.

Hiei said nothing, did nothing to fight back, he breathed deeply only, and stared up at Morika with a hate Yusuke had seen only once before.

The Spirit Detective lifted himself up and just managed to get a glimpse of the Tear Gem beside him, he reached out and grabbed it, a light blue Tear Gem. He knew it was Hiei's, he smiled just a bit, clasping it tightly in his hand before everything around him swirled and he lost consciousness.
