Seven Ways To Die - Yusuke
One
AN: Hello. I don't mean to be morbid with these series of oneshots. It's just ideas that have been kicking around in my head and my muse finally kicked me in gear. Some will be violent, some not so. There may be some you'd expect, some you'd never think about, maybe. Some may even be a bit humorous. Since these are WIPs, if any further warnings are needed they'll be placed on each new chapter. Who knows, I may even get ideas from your reviews, you just never know. Anywho, here we go.
New AN: I think I've found a new beta that will hopefully work out with helping me bring better quality to my works. So please pardon my dust while we use these shorties to iron things out. Thank you for reading! :o)
One - Revenge Finally Comes
The Jaganshi was nothing if not patient, cunning, and calculating. He took his time studying the former Spirit Detective. He learned his strengths - Very well. He silently stood by Yusuke's side, feigning loyalty, while sneering inwardly at the weaknesses he learned.
Though relatively few, they were there. He took his time gaining the human-turned-demon's trust, because there was something else that Hiei was well-known for - Keeping his word. He had vowed revenge on the one that handed him, what he considered, his most shameful defeat. Today, after decades of watching, waiting, gaining trust, his revenge finally came.
As the short, dark demon's red eyes watch the blood flow from Yusuke's decapitated body he can't deny that he feels a twinge of remorse. Just a twinge, but it fades, as does the brightness of life in those surprised chocolate eyes.
Hiei is a master assassin, but he never tires of seeing the look of utter surprise on his victims' faces. This latest was perhaps the one he's caught that expression on most completely. With a final, deep breath Hiei purges himself of the irritating twinge, returning once more to his cold shell. He calmly turns away, flicks the 'tainted' blood of the halfbreed from his katana, then sheathes it as he disappears into the darkness that has fallen on the Tourin desert sparring ground.
