Kon...ohayo!

POSSESSION
Part 1

"Damnit! Hold him down quick! Where's that shrimp when we need him?" Kuwabara shouted.
Kurama quickly aided him in suppressing Yuusuke, whose ki was still rising.
Kurama, in desperation, turned a twig into a baseball bat and attempted to hit Yuusuke senseless with it. It worked.
A black cloaked figure writhed painfully on the ground behind Kuwabara, who spotted him as he looked for rope to tie Yuusuke up. "Shrimp...I mean, Hiei?" Kuwabara questioned as he squatted down for a closer look at the pale fire demon. " Oi Hiei! You okay?"
"K'so...Yuusuke's soul is tainted, fool. Kill him. There's no way you can get that evilness out which by now invading his mind," Hiei glared the message to Kuwabara's mind with his Jagan and added a side comment, "dumb blockhead."
Kuwabara looked at Hiei, shocked at his assertion. He shook his head hard and shook Hiei by the shoulders.
"You mean there's no way we can get that damn youkai's evilness out of him after this morning's fight? That youkai is already dead by Yuusuke's own Rei Gun!" Kuwabara retorted harshly as Hiei sharp glare softened. Kurama, Yukina and Botan, who were present, sensed Hiei's ki drop rapidly and rushed to his side, yanking Hiei out of Kuwabara's death grip.
"Look after Yuusuke, Kuwabara-kun," Kurama ordered grimly as he guided Yukina's hand to Hiei. He asked Yukina whether she could cure him. Hiei's expressions changed to neutral slowly as his eyes grew heavier, second by second. His breathing also became labored as he tried to will away the presence of an audience watching him take his last breath.
Yukina touched his Jagan with her fair hand, palm down, and concentrated.

flashback
Hiei was battling Yuusuke furiously, and no one else was around yet. His katana lay on the ground, twisted and broken as he unleashed the black fires of Makai to pit against Yuusuke's Reiki. Both of them were covered with gashes and blood, and Hiei was at a losing end.
"Yuusuke is out of control," Hiei thought as he tried to suppress himself lest he should kill Yuusuke by accident. Yuusuke had killed a low S-class mind-possession Youkai and tried to kill him straight after arriving from the portal connecting Makai. Yuusuke, however, was in fury and his ki rose as he eyebrows arched in a menacing, malicious manner. Hiei couldn't wait for the others to come. He unleashed his black dragon.
Yuusuke couldn't wait either.
Toushin took his place and an enormous ball of Reiki mixed with Youki lit up at his fingertip.
"REEIIIII-GUN!!!!"
Everything was over in a flash, and soon after, the others arrived.

Yukina looked at the images in horror as she slowly took her hand away. Hiei was already gone.
"He looked so much like me when he is sleeping", Yukina thought silently as no tears flowed out, even though all she wanted to was to cry. She knew Hiei was her only kin, and to prevent him from running away from her, she had acted ignorant of their relationship, though teasing him in her own ways about it at times.
Hiei was so...beautiful. His originally fair skin, tanned by the harsh golden sun, would be like hers if he hadn't been thrown off the cliff to face cruel life when he was only a babe. He was fearless when he died, however, which made Yukina proud of him.
Yukina felt her split-second trauma turn into grief when she accepted that the unmoving body there was her brother. Grief, was all she wanted to feel, and to let that grief out in tears was the best way for others, but not herself.
She denied herself of that very luxury to weep and turned it into hate.
An ice-maiden's hate.
Focused on her prey, the one who took her brother's soul from her side.
