I may have said too much!

Anyways enjoy!

Records indicate that the solar eclipse will occur at exactly noon today causing a temporary blackout of the sun! please be cautious wandering about town and remember those sunglasses, back to you Trisha with the sports repor-

Yusuke slammed the mute button as the random faces went about chatting as if today wasn't the supposed end of the world. Running his hands through his thick hair he sat up from the couch before dawning his now staple black leather jacket.

"Hey Urameshi where are you going?" Kuwabara shouted from across the room as he and Kurama sat seated near the dining room table. Ruri's body was laid across the adjacent couch.

"I'm going to get Keiko, her train should be here in an hour." He answered simply, annoyance dripping from his lips.

"Why didn't you tell her to stay? Don't you know there is danger approaching, Chan said-"

"Screw him and the demon dog he rode in on!" Yusuke sneered, "I'm not about to live in fear of some supposed threat. And besides if we're all gonna die I want my wife beside me for one last go, if you know what I mean."

His eyebrow raising caused Kurama to roll his green orbs, "I'll accompany you. Besides, I need to find Lei and Sayuri to make sure they're safe as well."

"That Lei girl was pretty hot Kurama, too bad she's got that blood sucking baggage."

The redhead shrugged his shoulders, "Sayuri is a nice girl. And we're falling off topic. We should find them soon and bring them back here before anything happens. Kuwabara should stay and watch Ruri in case she wakes up."

Kuwabara stared down at his friends sleeping form, "Do you think she will?"

"Most likely, Yukina healed what she could. Her body just needs to rest from all of the stress." The fox answered simply while taking his hand through his hair.

"Okay. Well get back here as soon as possible. I bet we'll get a good look of the eclipse from the temple."

The two teens nodded as the exited the temple to Kurama's awaiting car before heading off towards town. Kuwabara sighed as he sat down next to Ruri, stroking her curly blonde hair softly as his mind wandered into a day dream.


"You said 10:30 correct?"

"Umm yeah."

"Hmm, it's almost noon."

"I know what time it is Kurama!" Yusuke sneered while shoving his hands in his pocket as the two awaited the now extremely delayed train, "Damn transportation! Always late but no one complains, meanwhile I'm late for class and I get an earful!"

His sneer grew worse as his ears overhead the soft chuckle of Kurama next to him, "Sorry. I've never been the one to see you so angry about tardiness."

"Yeah Yeah, laugh it up fox boy." Yusuke smirked, "So…what is the deal with Hiei? He's really not coming back for Ruri, is he?"

"I'm not sure," Kurama answered, "Hiei has been hiding his energy from me, and I can't really say where he is."

"That's kind of shitty."

"That's Hiei. He doesn't really commit to anyone but himself." The fox answered simply.

"And about the whole birthday thing? Not to stick my nose in but if girls give birth to babies every 100 years Hiei is going to…" He didn't want to fill in the blank but if Hiei was going to have a kid well…just damn!

Kurama smirked, "Have one as well, no." Yusuke nearly dropped in relief. "Rather Hiei's hormones will erupt into a state of panic. Who's to say what he'll do."

"Or who…Hey! It's about damn time!" Yusuke shouted as he watched the train roll into the station. Kurama ignored the multiple curse words pouring from the young teens mouth as his eyes drew towards the television fixed in the corner of the wall which gave up to date timing of the long awaited solar eclipse. The television screen blinked once before a wave of fuzz crossed over the tube.

Odd, Kurama thought to himself as the screen continued to flutter before rewinding slightly, causing the news anchors to repeat their words. Wasn't this supposed to be live television? Kurama's head pondered the possibilities before he turned towards Yusuke who was now infatuated with kissing his newlywed wife.

"Yusuke." Kurama repeated three times before the young teen shot him a look, "I'm going to find Lei. You should return to the temple with Keiko immediately."

"What's going on guys?" Keiko asked while her eyes darted between her husband and friend.

"We're coming with you. We should stick together." Yusuke answered, ending the discussion.

"Fine, but we should go." Kurama spoke while staring up at the still repeating television screen, "Something feels off."


As a child taking their first breath Ruri shot her body into the air, her mouth quivering as she stared at her surroundings which contrasted the hell she had been dreaming about. And of course that meant a dream with Chan. She thought she was dead, pretty damn sure, but now she laid on a couch covered in blankets and a very confused Kuwabara looming over her.

"You're…awake!" He yelled with a smile while taking her by the shoulders into a big hug.

"Where is everyone?" she asked, her eyes wandering across the room in search of the others, "Where's Chan?"

"What…What do you mean?" He asked softly, staring at her now frazzled face as she rose from the couch to swing her body to the floor in search for the car keys.

"We need to go downtown," She spoke slowly, softly, yet her voice filled with fear, "now."


Chan snickered softly as he stood atop one of the tallest buildings in the city, overlooking the crowds of people and passing cars. His assistants, all dressed in black suits stood behind him, awaiting orders. He rather liked Yusuke and the others telling him no, this way he could really flex his muscles for a little while, and have some fun of course. His black eyes watched the sun slowly hide itself behind the moon as he drew his hands from his pockets, energy sparking from his palms.

"This should be fun." He spoke aloud as his body rose slightly in the air, his aura swirling around his body causing the hanging sheets on the clothesline to ripple in the wind. The moment the sun was shielded by the moon his power slammed into the air causing a bright white light to encase the sky. The air rippled for a moment as Chan lowered his body towards the rooftop, smirking once before punching the air in front of him, a wave of fire dripping from his hands, shooting into the building next to him as it exploded in mid air.

Chan smiled at the screams of the helpless and heat of the burns as he turned his body towards his assistants, now fully in their demon forms, "Boys," He spoke casually while lighting another cigarette to his lips, "go have some fun."


Perhaps it was a matter of minutes, no seconds. Yes seconds, Yusuke concluded in his mind that the entire city, perhaps the world had gone to shits in a matter of seconds.

"What the- Keiko!" It was the second time he had grabbed his beloved to pull her frail and frantic body into his arms. Sure when Chan said there would be blood…total and utter destruction hadn't really crossed his mind.

"We have to get out of here!" Kurama yelled as he pushed passed through the mad stricken crowd towards the exit, which was oh so conveniently running strait into the blazing fire from outside.

"No kidding!" Yusuke shot back as he and his wife managed to shove their ways outside towards the carnage. The entire city was burning, people screaming for their lives as another large building crashed onto the ground. The trio eyed a demon, presumably one of Chan's minions running across the streets, his mouth crushing into the shoulder of a young human victim.

"Alright that's it!" Yusuke bellowed as he raised his hand towards the demon, the large blue aura from his finger exploding into his body, killing the demon instantly, "We have to find Chan, and kill this bastard!"

"Get to safety," Kurama ordered, "I need to find Lei and Sayuri."

"We're coming with you!" Yusuke repeated, rather annoyed the fox wanted to go solo when the world was splitting into hell, "We'll be safer if we travel together."

"Heyy!" Yusuke and Kurama's heads turned towards Kuwabara's booming voice as he ran up with the group, dodging flames and broken shards of glass on the streets.

"What are you doing here! You left Ruri?"

"No! Can't you see she right….oh no." He turned to his left to realize Ruri, who had been running next to him, was gone.


Hiei cursed Mukuro for the third time as he finally reached the portal to the human world after two dead ends. She would attempt to have him trapped as he had failed to mate with her as he had originally planned moments ago. It took him over a day to find a portal that wasn't closed or blocked, and now he couldn't track Ruri's energy, he feared the worst. Kurama and Yusuke, their energy was frantic and distraught, which only meant Ruri had indeed die or, the entire city was in flames…

That was a long shot imagination of the young demon, yet when he finally entered the human world and saw the chaos and smells of blood, it seemed his premature wish had finally came true, the human world was burning alive, yet Chan was behind it, he hated when people stole his ideas.

His third eyes quickly scanned the area before picking up a faint pulse. His eye zoomed in to the now burning hospital before his body leaped into the air, breaking through the glass window into Umoto's hospital room.

Umoto's blind eyes widened to the sudden intrusion before they settled as he picked up the stoic and angered energy of his visitor from the month prior.

"Get up." Hiei ordered, "In case your human senses have failed you like your eyes, the entire city is burning alive."

"I know." Umoto spoke softly as his arms folded across his lap.

"What?"

"I'm old, not dead. And yes I can hear the chaos from outside my room. I'm guessing Chan is behind it." His eyes blinked as a sigh escaped his lips, "I should have never trusted that man."

Hiei rolled his eyes, "Obviously. So move, unless you want to be here when this building explodes."

His demon nose could sense the smell of gas leaking from the basement of the building due to the explosion from blocks away. He had a limited amount of time, and…for Ruri's sake saving her father was the least he could do. And besides with the old man working against Chan he could possibly…

"I'm not going." Umoto's direct words threw the young demon off his typical mental conversations.

"What?"

"My place is here, and my time is now."

"You're insane! This place is about to explode, and your only daughter will probably die at the hands of your former business associate, and you want to just die now?"

"You're correct." He answered simply, "There is nothing I can do, say even to apologize to my daughter, but I beg of you, whoever you truly are, please protect her. The power that she must have accumulated over the years is exponential. You must promise me," his elderly hand reached out to grab Hiei's wrist from where he stood at his bedside, "keep her safe."

"…How?" Hiei asked. Truly he hated asking humans questions, considering his race was the smarter of the two. Umoto lured Hiei's wrist down towards him, whispering softly into his ear before shrugging him off.

"Now go." He spoke harshly. Even he knew something drastic was about to happen. The young demon gave the old man a strange yet saddened look before his body turned towards the window as he leaped into the open air towards a building across the street. His ruby red eyes watched as the building soon burst into flames as a large cloud of smoke and debris erupted from the building. Watching the flames caresses the hospital walls his eyes turned in the direction of a familiar scent, Ruri wasn't far away.


Said girl had broken from Kuwabara the moment she felt that strange, icy energy, Chan's energy. Her body froze as the two were running down the now emptied and debris covered streets. Her cyan blue eyes darted towards the large skyscraper building where Chan's energy intensified before she ran into the building without Kuwabara. She was alone once again as her body plunged into the staircase as she jumped her way step by step towards the roof of the building. In a normal state she would have been proud, no astonished at the feat, she had never worked out more than a week in her whole life, yet her body, much like her anger was on fire, and Chan would feel her wrath,

Or so she thought.

Breaking open the rooftop door she stumbled onto the stone roof, her eyes staring down Chan's white suit as he turned towards Ruri, a cocktail gently rolling between his fingers.

"Oh, hello Darling," He spoke casually while opening his free arm towards her as if in a welcoming hug, "I didn't think you were coming today."

A snarl crossed her lips as she leaped to her feet before darting towards his body, two Dao swords plunging from her arms as she swung violently at him, slicing the martini glass in half from his hand as he dodged her attack.

Chan smirked as he wiped his we hands on his tuxedo, his black eyes glowing as he grabbed at Ruri's elbow as he yanked her towards his body. Ruri groaned in pain as she felt her energy weaken under is strong grip as he sucked away her energy like wringing out a sponge. Violently he turned her body towards the carnage of the burning city, smiling deviously his chin rested on her shoulder as the two looked out into the flames.

"Look Ruri. Isn't it beautiful?"

"Get, Get off of me!"

"But don't you see," He spoke calmly as she struggled against him, "you caused all of this. This is all because, of you."

She stopped in her movements as her eyes grew wide as the two stared at the edge of the building into the smoke filled skies. It was only at that moment that she took in her surroundings. It was, awful. The smell of smoke, the heat of the burning flames, and the sounds of men, women, and even small children screeching like birds; it was if this entire scene mimicked a symphony from hell.

Chan's smirk grew wide as Ruri stood in front of him in a trance as the two stood close towards the open edge of the building, "Ruri, Darling," he spoke softly to her trance-like state, "I want you to know something, you can run all you want, and hide behind as many strong friends you can find…but I will tear down every building, and every person until you give yourself up to me."

His smile grew wider as his hands dropped from her shoulders towards her back, "Your father always told me that you were his little angel, well lets test out those…wings!"

With a shove he pushed her from the 40 story building as her body flung into the air before dropping into the open sky. Ruri let out a violent scream as she plunged down towards the solid ground at rapid speed. Closing her eyes she hoped for a painful head first death only to find herself not splattered on the ground but rather clinging to a familiar body and scent. Her eyes widened as she found herself on the rooftop of a smaller adjacent building, her body clutched in Hiei's arms.

Some would be happy that a painful death was avoiding by a dark mysterious man's resuce. Ruri' however utterly dispised this dark, mysterious, bitter, mean, cruel, heartless, you get the point.

"Get off of me!" Ruri sneered as she shoved herself off of Hiei's form only to cause confusion and anger from the young demon.

"Wh-"

"Go away!" She responded childishly as she threw her hands up to fight him, causing Hiei to smirk.

"Hn, idiot, I just saved your life!"

Ruri opened her mouth to respond yet her eyes focused on Chan from the building above as he shot a wave of fire from his hands towards the couple on the smaller roof. With quick speeds Ruri jumped in front of Hiei before raising her aura, blocking the hot flames from the two of them.

Ruri watched the flames lick the protective aura around them before she glared back at the dark haired demon, "Consider us even!"

"Tch…" Hiei could only respond as such as Ruri glared him down, once again to raise her arms in defense against him.

"I'm not going anywhere with you if that's why you're here, I don't even know why you're here. You should just leave!"

"I'm taking you with me, there's nothing left here-"

" I have to go rescue my dad! Unlike you I care about the people that surround me you arrogant-"

"Your fathers dead."


Across the town and the chaos, Kurama and the others had finally managed to make their way into Lei's townhome only to find the pair frantically packing a large amount of bags, Lei running around with a frying pain in hand, self-defense of course.

In fact Yusuke had to duck as said iron skillet almost collided with his skull, "What the hell!"

"Oh, Kurama thank goodness!" Lei smiled for the first time since noon as she embraced him in a hug.

"Lei, we have to go, now. Leave your bags behind." Kurama ordered softly as he took her hand.

"They're family valuables-" The group ducked as another explosion hit the neighbor's home they were connected to, blowing a hole in the wall adjacent to them, "Okay fine let's go! Come on Honey."

Lei grabbed her daughters hand as the group ran down the front steps of the townhome before making their way out of the city by running through the local park. Yusuke still clutched Keiko's hand as he Kuwabara, Kurama, Lei and Sayuri darted over the once lush hills and grasses before Lei was jerked from Kurama's hand as a large demon like animal grabbed at her shoulder before tossing her back onto the ground. The group stopped and turned as Lei lay motionless on the ground as Sayuri dropped to her side.

Lei slowly opened her eyes as she came face to face with Kovu, the large demon like creature growling at the pair.

"Lei!" Kurama shouted as he attempted to run towards her only to cause a larger snarl from the animal.

"Its you," Lei spoke softly to the demon dog, "You, turned my daughter."

Sayuri in question returned the familiar snarl as Kovu as her eyes grew icy white, her fingers stretched out like claws as she prepared to strike the animal as two more demon like creatures circled the pair. Another wave of explosions racked the city, startling Keiko who clutched Yusuke's arm.

"Kurama, we have to go, now!" Yusuke spoke softly, his voice full of anger and slight fear.

"I'm not leaving them-"

"Go," Sayuri spoke softly, the first time anyone save Lei had heard her speak. Sayuri's eyes dropped down as she stared at Lei's open wound, "I'll take care of mommy."

Kurama gave her a strange and pained look before another explosion drew him back into consciousness as he ran with the others toward the exit of the park, the shrieks of demons filling his ears.
