A/N: So I did keep my promise. I promised that the story would be updated at least by this week to next week and what do you know, it is. I'm very sorry it's a bit short but at least it's still a chapter, right? I mean come on, I'm bored of the plot, and the story as a whole but I'm going to finish this, alright? Now without further ado, I present you the next chapter.

Disclaimer: Who bothers doing this anyway? Everyone knows I own nothing of the two animies.

Warning(s): Boring, short, not much to say.

Youko's Brother Suichi

Chapter 10

Recap: "The human boy is amusingly right. I am strong, aren't I?" the shadows seemed to say.

Yusuke instinctively raised his already shaky hands in his offensive stance. Whatever it was, it was coming nearer and with each step he could sense the rise of energy. "Detective," Hiei hissed warningly, taking a step forward. He glared at the shadows in front of him.

Yusuke nodded in silent agreement. He knew how to read Hiei since the couple years his team had become a team. Hiei shot Inuyasha a side-glance to see how they were taking it. The Half-Dog demon was protectively standing in front of Kagome and Shippo. He snuck in glances at her occasionally.

There was the sound of laughter. The kind Yusuke couldn't stand; the kind that reminded Shuichi vaguely about the Dark Tournament; the kind that Yoko wanted to kill ten times over and with that Hiei leapt into the air and seemed to have teleported or disappeared.

"Hey where'd half-pint go?" Inuyasha looked around.

The others took their defensive stances. Whatever Hiei was doing was most likely purely out of instinct and rage. Those kinds of guys made Hiei sick. He wanted to end the mission quickly and look after his sister.

There was a big burst of energy and Yusuke saw fire spreading through the forest. He licked his lips anxiously and smirked back at the group, "That's our cue guys," he waved his thumb up in the air and took off in the dark looking forest.

Inuyasha scowled at the rest when none followed, "Well let's go," he said slightly impatiently, "Unless you're afraid woman."

"I am not!"

Inuyasha hid a smirk when Kagome stomped into the dark, demon filled forest with the rest closely at her heels. He jumped onto a tree branch and started his tree-hopping to search for the others.

Kagome was steaming. The one guy she liked had to be a real jerk. She grumbled some things under her breath; she hated when Inuyasha treated her badly but then again he treated everyone like that. She sighed, why couldn't he understand?

That was when she saw something glowing in the dark. Wait…Nothing could glow like that unless…

"Inuyasha!" she called up at him.

He stared at her grumpily, "What?"

"There are jewel shards up ahead," she told him, ignoring the disdainful look he was sending and the icy tone that made her shiver, "And a lot of them; about maybe one thirds of them."

Inuyasha shot her a surprised look, "Really? Then we'd have a lot more than half of the shards…Straight ahead right?" She nodded and he smirked and raced through the trees.

Yoko and Shuichi were quick to follow with their inhumane speed and were following him through the dark and slight dank forest. Kagome, Shippo and the others (mostly humans) were left behind to catch up. Kagome fumed, why did the jerk only care about the shards?

Why was she even worrying about this at a time like this? Only one person gave off that evil aura, only one person had that many jewel shards and only one person was the man that was currently their biggest threat.

She knew who he was but the question was now: How the heck would they be able to beat him?

A/N: Not much to say except it's almost the end. It's rushed, yes but what can I say? I am bored with this story and I'd like to complete at least 1 one my stories. I'll see to that my other stories get finished as well but for right now Read and Review, okay? Thanks and so long.
