Haunting Reflection

"Do you really think this is a good idea?" whispered the young red head standing closely towards the taller boy that was right next to him. "of course it is" replied the older boy in an enthusiastic way "unless your afraid?" he asked again eying the red head. "I'm not scared, I just don't think mother would approve me-" as he was about to continue the other boy placed a hand over his mouth. "Shuuichi, don't worry about it, your with me." said the boy with a kind smile on his face. "... Daisuke..." muttered Shuuichi quietly to himself.

He didn't like this place at all, it was dark and gloomy. It was as though it has been deserted for many years. Shuuichi was so stunned of the place that he didn't realize that he was drifting away from his friend. "Out of all the days to rain it had to have been today." complained Shuuichi as he was checking through the place.

He then paused for there was no recall. "Daisuke?" he asked turning left to right searching for his friend till he stopped at a beautiful old mirror. Lightning struck outside the window and Shuuichi emerald green eyes widened at to what he saw in the mirror. A tall half naked man stood there with an ax in his head, blood pouring from his body and his eyes were rolled over. Shuuichi quickly turned around to face the man and to his surprise there was no one there.

Shuuichi felt his heart begin to pound, he knew he saw someone there but before he could look back at the mirror there was a loud cry for help. Shuuichi jumped he knew that voice "oh no, Daisuke!" he began to run over towards the voice and to his surprise there was a huge hole in the floor and there right there holding for dear life was Daisuke.

"Daisuke, hold on." cried Shuuichi going for his aid. He quickly grabbed onto his hand and tried to lift him up. It was working, but then out of no where a shadow came over the young boys. Blood trekked down onto Shuuichi neck and he froze the house was abandoned yet he could feel someone behind him.

He slowly turned his head and saw the same man from the mirror. His jaw dropped open, but before he could scream he was stabbed right into his stomach. Shuuichi's eyes widened as the crimson fluid flew through the air. "Shuuichi!" screamed Daisuke in horror.

The red haired boy then fell to the floor. Stunned and in pain he faced his friend whom was still holding on to dear life. "...Dai..suke..." he whimpered as the other boy was clearly loosing it. "you bastard!" screamed Daisuke at the man whom was now approaching towards him.

"...Dai...suke..." Shuuichi whimpered, but was not herd as the strange apparently dead man grabbed Daisuke by the hair and lifted him up. Daisuke began to struggle then paused as the man lifted up his fingers and stuck into Daisuke pretty blue eyes. Shuuichi's eyes widened at the site, tears welding up. Daisuke screamed in pain and at the last minute when lightning stroked outside, the man dropped Daisuke down the hole causing Shuuichi to scream "No!"

" Kurama, hey Kurama, wake up!" said Yusuke shaking the red head to wake up from his nightmare. Kuramas eyes jolted open as he stared at the spirit detective. Yusuke looked at him with a worried expression. "what happened?" asked Kurama as he felt the sudden urge to puke as he stood up. Yusuke smiled "well you see, we were having we had a drinking contest and apparently you lost." he said with a huge grin. Kurama eyes widened "I was drinking?" he said surprised.

Yusuke smiled nodding his head, then stopped remembering why he woke up the fox. "yeah, but then you were struggling and mumbling in your sleep, I thought something was wrong." he said in a concerned tone. Kurama just looked at him then whipped some of the sweat of his face and stared at the other two boys whom were asleep on the floor. "that was thoughtful of you." he finally responded before sliding back down on the couch.

Yusuke smiled, "thanks" he said then turned to the other two. " I guess I could put Hiei in my bed and Kuwabara in my moms but..." he turned back at Kurama with a playful smirk "that leaves you and me with the couch." he joked Kurama just massaged his temples, remembering the horrible image of the man. "Kurama?" he questioned a bit confused. " Its nothing, I guess I'm not tired." he said dryly. "fine here we can stay up and watch some T.V!" Yusuke responded excited that he wasn't the only one up.

After Yusuke carried the other two back to bed he came down and sat next to Kurama. He quickly turned on the T.V and smiled at the fox. Kurama looked back at him and sweetly returned the smile. Somehow being near Yusuke made him feel more comfortable.

Not long after watching T.V Kurama felt strangely ill, "excuse me." Kurama said walking over towards the bathroom. "need a hand?" Yusuke asked looking at the fox a little uneasy, but stopped once Kurama waved his hand signaling that he was fine.

Locking the door Kurama immediately began to puke. Holding on to the toilet, he felt as though he was about to puke out his whole stomach. He then slumped down to the floor rubbing his temples, his head was pounding and it was making him nauseous. He then paused. There, on his hand... there was blood. Kurama slowly turned his face to the toilet... it was also covered in blood.

At that moment Kurama remembered why he accepted to drink. Its almost the anniversary of the day of the incident and Kurama felt so depressed that when Yusuke asked him to join them he just accepted, but there was no reason for him to puke out blood.

Kurama slowly lifted himself up to face the mirror, he looked like a mess, his hair was out of place his eyes were drowsy, his skin was strangely pale, and some how he keeps on loosing weight. He stared at himself for a while then noticed there was something in his reflection. He was about to turn when he just suddenly began puking all over again. Blood dripped all over the floor and he couldn't stop himself.

Blood gushed all over the floor and Kurama couldn't breath. He gagged and gagged till finally he choked out to small balls that rolled onto the floor. Kurama finally collapsed gasping for air. "oh gosh, make it stop" he pleaded mentally. He slowly opened his eyes and was shocked to see right there lying in a pool of blood was two blue eyeballs. Kurama let out a horrible cry.

Kurama then quickly jerked up. He was asleep on the floor of the bathroom. He still had blood on his hands and in the toilet but there was no pool of blood and no signs of any eyeballs. Kurama let out a heavy sigh and then jumped as he heard the the knock on the door. "Kurama, your OK in there?" asked Yusuke in a naive manner. "I-I'm fine." Kurama lied flushing the toilet and washing the blood off. "gotcha."

Kurama slowly got out of the bathroom, his head was in pain and the world around him was spinning. He was about to tumble till Yusuke caught him. "whoa, steady there." he said with a smile. "for a second there, I thought you fell asleep in the bathroom." Yusuke said teasingly. Kurama held on to Yusuke tightly feeling his whole body shaking. "Kurama?" the raven haired boy asked. Lately Kurama has been acting strange and now he may be drunk but he felt different.

"you know, no matter what, we are all friends, and if somethings bugging you." Yusuke smiled kindly "just call me." he said giving the fox his trade mark grin.

After a few more minutes of watching T.V , Kurama slowly felt himself slowly drifting to sleep. "this looks like a good show." said Yusuke sarcastically. Kurama didn't care as he was getting comfortable leaning against the spirit detective. Kurama then rubbed his temples again feeling the urge to gag again. "need an aspirin?" asked Yusuke. Kurama slowly looked up at him then pulled back seeing Daisuke instead of Yusuke.

He fell to the floor and Yusuke looked at him surprised at the foxes reaction. " I'm sorry." said Kurama feeling very embarrassed. Yusuke didn't change his expression for a while til finally he gave out his hand to lift Kurama up. His friend gladly took his hand and let the raven haired boy lift him up back onto the couch.

Yusuke then left without a word and Kurama just sat there pondering on what to say or do. " Its been almost ten years now." thought Kurama. He quickly closed his eyes remembering the horror. "How could this be happening, I thought I took care of it." he said to himself tugging a bit at his hair.

Yusuke then came in with a cup of tea and some aspirins causing Kurama to slightly smile at the half bread. "Your too much." the fox said kindly. Yusuke smiled at hi and handed him the cup "Who said they were for you?" he teased amusing himself.

The next day Kurama woke up feeling completely weak and sick. "don't you two look so cute." said Kuwabara looking down at Kurama and Yusuke whom both fell asleep on the couch. "shut up." said Yusuke tiredly. Kuwabara chuckled and Hiei eyed Kurama "more like the half breed was being babysat." said Hiei as he looked back at Yusuke. "hey that ain't true!" Yusuke protested.

Kurama wasn't listening to the conversation, instead he was hearing something else something more bizarre calling him. Lost in thought he didn't realize his friend tap him. "Hey Kurama, you still there?" Yusuke asked a little alarmed that the fox has been weird all night and is still like that now. "uh, huh?" Kurama responded not realizing want was happening.
