Chapter 1: Metamorphosis

Hiei was being pushed back. He knew that the reaper was already losing strength due to holding back his powers from the Jagan, but she wouldn't be able to constrain the eye for good. She would need the antidote for that.

Hiei used his speed to sneak up on Yusuke from behind.

"I've got you!" He yelled, ready to cut Yusuke in half.

Suddenly Yusuke turned around and punched him through a crate. Hiei struggled to stand after that hit.

"Why you-!"

"Oi, is skittering around all you do?" Yusuke cut in.

"If that eye doesn't have any effect on someone, your nothing more the a pesky cockroach!" He yelled.

Hiei tsked.

'I can't believe this stupid boy is forcing my hand like this.' Hiei thought as he started to transform.

In another world Hiei's power would have doubled. However, unfortunately for our heroes, here his power tripled. And with the amount of time Botan has been holding back the eye the sudden surge caused her to be knocked unconscious as the eye slowly opened.

'Crap! Now I have to take down this guy and get the antidote to Keiko before she turns into a demon!' Thought Yusuke.

(From here on out the battle is exactly the same as in the anime, so just watch episode 8 again to know what happens.)

As soon as Hiei was out Yusuke grabbed the sword and threw it to Kurama.

"Quick! Give her the antidote before it's to late!" He yelled, already running towards him.

Kurama grabbed Keiko's body and started dropping the antidote into her mouth, watching her almost open eye in anticipation. Yusuke slid right next to the body and checked Keiko's condition.

"Is it working?!" He asked, seeing no difference in the eye as it opened fully.

"It looks like... We're to late..." said a now conscious Botan, whose head was down in shame.

"Danmit!" Yelled Yusuke.

He failed.

That day something changed with Keiko.

The question is was it for the better?
