Something Wicked This Way Comes By: Angelus1889 Warning(s): OOC Graphic violence Lemon-Yaoi Rating: Mature #### Author's Note: Thanks to the freakishly frequent snowstorms DC has been having lately, I've got time to start on this story. I'm no longer in danger of failing my thesis class, and my computer is also working faster since I finally got that anti-virus software I've been needing… in short, life is good at the moment. . Anyhoo, you know the drill. Test chappie, I'll continue if I get a positive response.
I
"I am a monster. No longer fit to walk this earth and exist with pure beings that are allowed to bathe in glorious sunlight." A tightened noose. "To avoid this cursed fate of mine…my strongest desire. Yet I cannot escape the impure blood which flows in my veins…" Two slit wrists. "To purge the world of my disgusting life…to snuff out the last of my kind…it would be to the benefit of all…" A blood-red moon. ###### Yuusuke Urameshi, along with a curious fox and a begrudged fire demon, were on the way to their human counterpart's new home with presents to give for his twenty-first birthday. "I wonder if the idiot's up…he better not have forgotten that we were supposed to party tonight!" "He's become a responsible and intelligent adult, Yuusuke. I doubt that." "Since when has the fool ever been intelligent?" Kurama shook his head to hide his smile. "He's older now, Hiei. Much calmer and wiser than the child you remember him to be." "It's only been three years." "Humans mature rather quickly after their juvenile term. This process happens far faster that demon maturity due to humans'…rather short life span." The three of them winced at nearly the same time. Kurama had brought up a sensitive topic for the demon trio: Kuwabara's mortality. It would be the hardest on Yuusuke; watching his best friend age and die while he remained a young sixteen…for as long as Father Time would allow him to rule. Kurama had become closer to the Kuwabara during the time in which Yuusuke was discovering himself in the Makai. Even then, the fox had seen something off in the boy's generally exuberant personality. For example… Kurama had congratulated Kuwabara a few days ago, telling him that he would reach the peak of his spiritual power and be dubbed the strongest human in all the Three Worlds; even surpassing Genkai. The human had responded with a small smile and a nod, not meeting the redhead's eyes. "Yeah…that's great, man." This nearly phlegmatic response worried Kurama. Kazuma seemed to, as his birthday approached, adopt the demeanor of a world-weary demon. There had been something in the human's eyes…a resignation that replaced the innocence and ignorance that had been there before. 'By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes…' he thought, quoting one of his favorite Shakespearian plays. He had not voiced these concerns to Yuusuke; his impulsive and rash way of dealing with his own feelings would not help in the least at dealing with a depressed teen. Even Hiei—thought reluctant to admit it—cared more than he let on for Kuwabara… The youkai in question, quite perturbed at the though of the human he had come to respect returning to ash, snorted angrily. He tended to forget that the boy was so…pathetically mortal. He really seemed…durable. Hiei would not admit this to Kurama-hell, to anyone, but he knew that he liked this human boy much more than he should. The feeling would come every time their eyes met…a warm tingling down his spine and a dizzy, almost flirty feeling. There was more than one reason why Hiei almost always started the small squabbles. 'Why am I thinking of this now…?' As with Yukina, Hiei had no intention of letting the human know about his feelings. There were too many things that could go wrong…too many 'maybes' and 'what ifs'. Hiei would watch from afar…as he always did. Hiei slowed his walking, coming to a complete standstill as a scent wafted on the air. A scent that both he and Kurama recognized immediately. Blood. Kuwabara's blood. There was little that Hiei could not remember clearly as the three raced to Kuwabara's house and Yuusuke broke down the door in a rage. There were bits of cloth and trash everywhere…the stench was horrifying. Even so, the smell of fresh blood dominated the air. Shaking with anger and fear, Yuusuke wrenched open the human's bedroom door. Kuwabara was there hanging from the ceiling. Kurama paled, and had to turn away to keep from vomiting, tears threatening to spill over. Yuusuke had curled into a nearby corner clutching his head, rocking slightly. He was mumbling something that sounded like "no…no….no….why..?" over and over again to himself. Hiei found that he could not tear his eyes away. He had wedged a small towel in his mouth to avoid screaming out. His stiff body was swaying slightly from the breeze floating through the curtains. There were two large, symmetrical pools of blood that flowed from his slit wrists. Hiei swallowed the bile attempting to free itself back down his throat. The cobalt blue eyes that Hiei had remembered were now a dull lapis, staring straight into his soul, yet taking in nothing. It had taken Hiei a moment to realize how close he was, screaming into the ash-grey face. "Damn you, damn you, damn you, damn you!" A twitch of the eye. Hiei paused. A twitch of the wrist. Kurama had composed himself and looked up from the spot where he was attempting to comfort Yuusuke. In a swift motion, Hiei cut the accursed rope and clutched Kuwabara's rapidly cooling body. "He's alive." The two were across the room in seconds, the fox trying to staunch the blood flow while the detective screamed at his best friend for being an "insensitive emo asshole." They rushed to Genkai's temple with all the haste they could muster. ##### "You arrived in the nick of time. Another minute or two and he would've been too far gone to stabilize." Kuwabara now lay peacefully on a mat covered by a blanket, his writs now healed and bandaged to cover the scars. "That bastard…how dare he…" "That's enough, detective." The three turned to look at Hiei, surprised that he would care enough to calm the Masoku whose nerves had been totally shot. "Apparently, he's been dealing with problems that he's repressed. It's not as easy to live with that as you may think." Yuusuke clenched his jaw but did not reply. "Hiei's right, you know. Kazuma's had a long, hard life. We both have." Shizuru had been previously smoking out in the garden and had heard the tail end of the conversation. "Care to share, then?" "No. There are some things best left unspoken to avoid reliving them." "So you know why Kuwabara tried to off himself!" Yuusuke has shot up then. "Yes." "Then why the hell won't you tell us so I can help him!" Shizuru looked down at her baby brother. She, the first born, should have had to bear the burden Kazuma was carrying. The guilt overwhelmed her. "Yuusuke…this is one case you won't be able to solve. Out past is far blacker that you could imagine, and it's beginning to catch up with us." "By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes." Yuusuke looked over to his best friend to find that he hadn't actually woken from his slumber. 'Creepy…' Hiei gazed at the human. He had not known that the boy held such secrets. There was something important that was being hidden from the group that may put him in danger… Kurama felt a chill go through him. Kuwabara had quoted the line that the fox had earlier thought of in his sleep. There was an evil wind on the horizon…and he wasn't so sure that the gang was prepared for it. ##### Author's Note: Meh. Totally average in my opinion. What do you guys think? I've got a good plot in mind this time too… finally. XD Also considering that there's about three feet of snow outside and it's still going strong, I've got time to write, too. XP C&C are always welcome!
