Hello Everyone! This story might seem OOC, so DEAL WITH IT! Also, this has YAOI, so there. Don't tell me I didn't warn you, cuz I did. And there is a lot of dialogue in here, so I'm sorry if you can't figure out who is saying what. Go ahead and flame me if you can't understand it. This is part three of this fic.
Oh yeah, and all characters belong to their original owners, blah blah blah, disclaimers and that kind of crap apply, yada, yada... Um, this fic might be a little dark, as it deals with rape, so I suggest caution when reading this.
Two evil eyes watched Terra, with an intense stare. Terra continued her exploration of barely lit room. She could see jars upon jars of tear gems. How terrible, she thought. It must take a lot of koorimes to produce this many tear gems. She snuck farther into the room. Then all of a sudden it hit.
Hiei noticed a sudden change in ki from where he was sitting. "Huh?" He got up to go investigate. He looked into the room where the other person had headed. He saw thousands of jars of tear gems. They were all glistening in the dim light. Hn. Now I know where their merchandise is... He looked down. On the ground, was a scrap of fabric. The same color as the ribbon that kept up Terra's hair... "Oh no..."
"Let me go! I said let me go you ugly piece of crap! Let me go!" Terra punched and scratched her assailant, but he refused to let her go. They walked through some more dark tunnels. Then they reached a room with lights and party sounds coming from it. "What the hell is going on?" Terra said as she was shoved inside. There were many bright lights, and it took a while for her golden eyes to adjust to the lighting. There were MANY dancing girls, and piles of money in the back of the room. And sitting on a throne in the middle of the room was... "What the... Who are you?" she inquired of the man sitting there. "I am Zeiram. And you are my new lover..."
Hiei searched the room frantically for a secret door. He saw Terra go in, but he didn't see her leave. Also, the large amount of ki also seemed to have vanished. "Damn," he thought as he searched the walls of the room. "Sigh. Nothing." "You'll be nothing when I'm done with you!" "What the...!"
Could Hiei have been cheating on him? After all these years if giving their love to one another, could it all have been a fake? A mirage that he put up so no one could see the truth? Was that why Hiei always took so long to come back after his training with Mukuro? Kurama plunged into despair, thinking of the worst. "But... But maybe it wasn't his choice," he whispered into the night air. "Maybe he was being kept there by force. Or maybe the coat was just there because Mukuro found it and forgot to give it back to him..." Kurama sighed. "But he still loves me. I hope..."
"Let me go!" This time, it was Zeiram who was tugging on Terra. Terra reached around and felt for her sword for the third time. "How many times do I have to tell you," Zeiram said as he slapped her face. "You were disarmed by my bodyguard." "You need a bodyguard? Then it shouldn't be that hard to kill you," Terra said as she lunged toward his neck. "I'm not as weak as you think," he replied, swinging her across and into a sitting postion on the chair. "Huh. Feisty. I like feisty," he whispered as he sat on her, his full weight upon her. All of a sudden she felt a force slam into her, and she couldn't push back the power. "And that is only a little of my power. Don't you ever try to kill me again," Zeiram whispered in her ear as his hands tore off her clothes. Terra bit back the urge to cry, because that would be giving in. Someone, help me...
Hiei heard her silent plea for help. I'm sorry Terra, but I'm kinda in a fight right now... Hiei jumped up and slashed down on his attacker. It just dodged the blow and pummeled into Hiei. Hiei jumped back, bleeding and exhausted from battle. "Damn. What does it take to kill this bastard," he said as he looked around. Then he had an idea. The monster attacked again. Hiei jumped up and... Threw a jar of pearl tear gems into his face! The monster roared in pain as the gems got stuck in his eyes. Hiei jumped back down and cut the monsters into little pieces. "Hn. That oughta teach you. Now, to help Terra..." Hiei looked around the room to see the secret door that had appeared when he was attacked. "Oh. Thanks, dead youkai." And he ran through the corridor beyond, searching for Terra.
Terra was battered and bruised, as she had endured most of the torture in silence. Zeiram had torn most of her clothes off, and she had scratchs from where he had tugged at her clothes. After a while, Terra noticed the force that had been pushing her down had been lifted. Terra pushed herself upwards and threw him off, leaving him angry with an unfinished job. "Damn you, woman!" He said as he put his hands on himself so he could finish it. Terra grabbed what was left of her clothes and put them on. At least she wasn't naked, and most of important features were covered. Then she ran. "You're not going anywhere!" He finished sooner than Terra had expected. "Damn!" she shouted as she was hurled across the room. She slammed into the other wall with a *thump!* sound and slid down to the floor, holding her chest. "That Gasp was Gasp not Gasp good..."
Hiei could feel Terra's ki now, but he also felt someone else's. Someone very powerful... "Zeiram?" He asked the walls as ran towards the energy. He finally reached the end of the hallway to see two doors. He kicked them in to reveal a brightly lit throne room, with Terra slumped down on the floor gasping for breath and one VERY angry Zeiram, who had been interupted during his.. duties. "ZEIRAM!" Hiei shouted as he ran towards him, sword in hand. "Forget it Hiei, you know you can not defeat me!" With a wave of his hand, he threw Hiei against the wall. Hiei faught back with his own power, and the two powers faught for supremecy. "You can never defeat me! I defeated Mukuro! How can you even think of fighting me! HA HA HA!!!" "Shut up," Hiei said, "Black... Dragon..." Zeiram suddenly backed up. "WAVE!!" The dragon flew everywhere, destroying everything in it's path. Zeiram did not have the energy to defelct that damn dragon, and ran away into a secret passage way. Zeiram yelled, "I'll be back! And better then ever! HA HA HA!" as he ran throught the passage way to freedom. Hiei coaxed the Dragon back to his arm, slumped over on the ground and passed out.
"Hiei. Hiei!" Hiei heard Mukuro's voice calling to him "Hiei!" One eye shot open, then two. He awoke to see Mukuro and Terra. "Terra! What happened?" Terra sat down on a chair nearby the bed. "Um, I'll tell you in a bit." Mukuro looked at them both. Then her eyes settled on Hiei. "Look, if you need anything, my servants will attend to you. Are you sure you'll be alright, Terra?" "Yeah, I can take care of myself." Hiei mumbled, "Obviously not." "What was that?" "Nothing." Mukuro nodded and left. "Well Terra, what happened?" Terra kept staring at the floor. "Well?" Terra looked up. She had a black eye, her cheek had a hand imprint and she looked tired. "Nothing. I don't wanna talk about it." Terra got up and left. Hiei got up on the bed, but lay back down after he started seeing spots. "That girl is so stubborn. Won't even tell me what's wrong..."
Hiei, I know you're in pain. I can feel it. Kurama ran throught the Makai forest, towards Mukuro's palace. He arrived at the gates and barged his way in. "Hey! You can't just barge in here like that!" Several of the guards tried to stop him, but Kurama just leaped over them and kept running. Then a dark figure stepped in front of him. "Mukuro. Tell me where Hiei is!" Mukuro smiled. "Relax. Hiei's in his room. Second door on the left." Kurama was caught off guard. He had thought... "Thanks..." "Oh, and Kurama?" "Huh?" Mukuro gave him a WARM smile, making Kurama very suspicious. "Hiei just used the Dragon, so he might be sleeping. Take care of him, will you?" "Uh, yeah, sure," Kurama said as he went into Hiei's room.
"Hiei?" Hiei lifted his head. "Kurama. How did you find me?" Kurama sat down on the bed with Hiei. "When you love someone, you can always find them," Kurama said lovingly as he snuggled against Hiei's chest. There was a long silence.
"Uh, Hiei?"
"Yes?"
"What was your coat doing in Mukuro's room?"
Silence.
