"I'm never gonna give up on this fight." Carrot Top huffed as he struggled to stay on his feet. "No matter how big you get!" He panted as Byakko was standing in front of him, getting bigger and fatter than before.
"So, are you sure?" Yusuke asked me again, his tone filled with concern.
"Positive." I said with a slight glare that is meant to the ugly cat. "Kuwabara is helping him!"
"Why is it so hard to understand human?" Mr. Hairball laughed mockingly. "Your weapon is made of pure energy that's feeding my spirit's appetite like a fresh slab of red meat. Unless you want to keep making me bigger and stronger, I suggest you throw down your sword."
"No way!" Kazuma scoffed out a laugh as he created another sword with the energy that he still had in his body.
'He had lost it.' I thought to myself in utter disbelief.
"So, this is your plan, to feed me?" Byakko asked with a smirk.
"That's right!" The idiot snarled just as he jumped up in the air with his sword raised above his head.
"LET'S GO!" Yelled the cat. Just then Kazuma struck him with his weapon that went through Byakko's big mouth.
"Alright!" Yusuke cheered.
"This may not be good." Shuichi sighed beside me, which just got me even more concerned. I feel my heart almost drop into my stomach when I feel Kuwabara's spirit energy being sucked out of his body.
"Just let go." Yusuke murmured worriedly.
As soon as he let go of his weapon, Kazuma collapsed down to the floor. Byakko laughed with satisfaction as he took a step toward Kuwabara.
"Thanks!" He said as he rubbed his large belly. "You have more spirit energy on your bones than I thought. Eating all of it nearly made me full. Oh?"
The idiot began to get up again, but I can tell that he doesn't have enough strength to stand up.
"I'm not done yet." The oaf's stubbornness's insisted as he attempted to summon another spirit sword. However, his energy was only enough for a small dagger that can only be as good as a butter knife.
"Aw man, his Spirit Sword downsized." My brother commented.
"I dare you to come closer." Kuwabara threatened weakly.
"Ha, you can't even stand up anymore." The hair-ball laughed still mocking our teammate. "You're nothing but a wounded animal." Then he lifted his huge feet and kicked Kuwabara in the face, sending him flying across the ground. Kazuma tried to get up as soon as he landed but being way too exhausted and drained, he remained motionless. "Crushing you will be the perfect exercise after my giant meal. As soon as there's room in my stomach that's where you'll go!" Byakko said as he stomped his way over.
"I'm not sure if I can crack jokes about this, Kuwabara's really going to get killed now." Yusuke said.
"No, there is a way." Kurama spoke up.
"Well then, say it!" My brother demanded impatiently.
"Byakko's body stopped expanding half-way through that attack." Kurama answered with a serious tone. "That indicates vulnerability."
"So, you mean he has a weakness." My sibling pointed out with that tiny bits of hope in his voice.
"Don't get the boy's hopes up Kurama." Hiei told him making me turn to him.
"I am simply saying there is a chance." The redhead replied sternly at the prideful demon.
"Yes Kurama, maybe if you were the one fighting." The annoying bat pointed out. "But that fool Kuwabara will never be able to see it." I huffed at him before turning back to the fight. The Saint Beast had lifted up Kazuma by the collar.
"You once said you wanted to die!" Reminded the white cat before sending a punch that threw the thug across the area. Kazuma scrambled up from the ground.
"Darn!" He grunted while the tiger laughed at the thug.
"You told your puny human friend that you'd never stop fighting unless I came down here and killed you myself remember?" The fat cat repeated Kazuma's words. "In the end, you'll get exactly what you asked for. Remember that when I claw you into shreds!"
"No, it turns out I got something else in my mind." The stubborn idiot replied with a harsh glare.
"Don't be worried, I'm quick to the kill!" The tigers roared before readying his claws for his next blow. Within a second Kazuma blocked the tiger's attack with another sword. The Tiger backed away as Kuwabara jumped away from the tiger. His spirit sword suddenly got bigger and stronger, but from the previous attack, I highly doubt it would do any good at all. The idiot charged at the tiger with his giant Spirit Sword and then stab it right through his stomach.
"Wait Kuwabara! Don't be Stupid!" Yusuke screamed. "Kurama says there's still a way to beat him!"
Just like before Byakko sucked all the energy inside. As soon as the last drop got out of Kazuma's system he fell from exhaustion.
I let out a small grunt as my hand began to reach for the water inside my leather pouches. A small reflex and nervous habit of mine which would come out whenever someone is in danger.
"Oh, you filled me up so much with your energy I don't think I have room left to eat your body." The Beast groaned out. "Oh well, I'll just crush you a pulp for later." With that, he lifted his foot to stomp on the thug. I see Yusuke prepare his Spirit Gun at the creature but my redheaded friend stretched his arm out to stop my brother.
"No, stop!" Rosehead warned Yusuke. "It's not necessary. " He reassured him. I turned back to the fight scene, and now I saw the big and fat ugly cat started to back away as he began to groan in agony. If I didn't know any better his belly was about to explode.
"Looks like it worked." Kazuma breathed out as he slowly sat up.
"What worked?!" The cat creature cried out in disbelief as he gripped onto his stomach, groaning in pain as he did so. It literally sounded like some sort of creature alive was moving inside of him.
"It's like my sister always said: It's not good to eat too much food in one sitting." Kuwabara answered as he finally managed to lift his upper body.
"Sister huh? That explains a lot." Yusuke said as he sent a smirk toward my direction.
"Hn." I hummed as I turned my eyes away from my brother with a mental eye-roll.
"You-!" Byakko exclaimed angrily as he stumbled forward. His belly started to expand thanks to the spirit energy that was inside, and then the next thing I knew and explosion blinded our vision.
"Down he goes!" Yusuke announced happily while I finally let out a sigh of relief.
"The amount of Spirit Energy Kuwabara transferred created a force that was more than Byakko's body could contain." Rosehead stated.
"Sounds like an awful case of gas if you ask me." My sibling commented jokingly before laughing like an idiot.
"Quiet Urameshi!" Kuwabara snapped making us all turn to the Carrot Top. As we went to approach Kazuma he was breathing deeply from the air. "I'm trying to concentrate here okay?" The idiot informed before taking deep breaths from the smoke that is surrounding him. "I have to breath in the guy's fumes, it's filled with my spirit energy." Okay, that sounds weird and disgusting.
"Actually, your energy returned automatically." Shuichi corrected.
"Oh, well, you can never be too safe right?" Our idiot Carrot Top a asked as he placed his hands down to his knees.
"Hey! I don't know why you're still on the ground, Kuwabara, I haven't even broken a sweat." Yusuke joked making me roll my eyes at him.
"Vert funny Urameshi, you are taking the next one." Carrot Top replied sarcastically.
"What am I gonna do with you boys?" I murmured under my breath tiredly as I began to approach Kazuma and prepare some water onto my hands.
"EH!?" Idiot yelped as he saw me close.
"Hold still idiot." I told him sternly as I reached toward his cuts.
"Uh, does it hurt?" Carrot Top asked me with a little fear in his voice.
"Do you want it to hurt?" I asked with a bored tone and a raised eyebrow, only to earn a look from Kazuma with his face that paled really quickly. I shook my head dismissively and just started the healing process with the idiot complaining about being cold. The ringing of my communicator went off. Yusuke pulled it out of his pocket and opened it.
"Yusuke, Miyuki, this is Botan. Do you copy?" Botan asked.
"Sure." Yusuke replied. Carrot head immediately shot up as soon as he heard the girl's voice, making me almost drop that small amount of water from my control.
"HEY! Tell her I said Hi!" Kuwabara exclaimed excitedly. Letting out a frustrated sigh I pulled him away and continued on my work.
"How are things in Maze Castle?" Our assistant asked sounding worried and exhausted. "Please tell me you defeated three out of the four Saint Beast by now." She pleaded or prayed, but anyone can tell that she wanted this mess to be over soon just like we all do.
"What?!" Yusuke shouted in disbelief. "Are you crazy Botan?! We've barely beaten two. These guys are not easy."
"I understand Yusuke, but that's not fast enough." Botan told us sadly and somewhat worrisome. "The city is losing its grip, the mayor declared a riot alert thinking these people are just insane. So far the police have detained most of those taken over by the Makai, but it won't be long before the police are taken over as well."
"Okay I get it." Yusuke replied a little sternly.
"I hope you do Yusuke, I really do. Huh!" The young Grim Reaper said then a small moment of silence followed since I was too busy healing the idiot who looked soo impatient.
"I said hold still Lover Boy!" I told him sternly again. Well, more like in a warning tone because my patience has its limits as well. But of course he did not take me seriously because his so called love made him act all stupid and shit.
"I'm sorry about that, boys, as you can see I'm busy here too." Botan spoke up again. This made Kuwabara shot up again and go over to the communicator.
"See ya Botan!" Kazuma said with his stupid grin on his face as he forced the communicator on his face.
"She hung up, Stupid!" Yusuke replied bluntly as he pulled the device away from him.
Alright, that's it! I'm done with his stupid ass for the day!
With a small growl, I let my arms drop and fold themselves over my chest as the sound of water splashing was heard since I also turned away from the idiot.
"EGH! Its Cold!" Kuwabara yelped. "Why did you do that for?!" He shouted at me while soaking wet for sure.
"I was trying to heal you Moron, but looks like you're not injured enough since you still have the strength to flirt." I snapped at him as I moved my hands in a motion that helped to take the water out of the thug's clothes. I wasn't doing that to be nice to him, I need that water for my future fights. Goldfish brains began grumbling some nonsense under his breath while I closed my water pouch that is resting around my waist.
"Well, shall we go?" My redheaded friend asked, right before the roar that erupted in the air once more. . . A very familiar roar. . .
'You've got to be kidding me. . . ' I complained in my mind.
"Don't tell me." Yusuke said in disbelief.
"He's alive." Shuichi breathed. Then suddenly the arena under our feet started to crack. "Hurry, it's collapsing!" Saying nothing more we all ran to the other side and up to that podium where our enemy used to stand. Then his laughter echoed behind us.
"So human, you proved you can be quite worthy prey." The second Saint Beast's voice boomed.
"Hey, aren't you. . . dead yet?" Kuwabara shouted down the hall, clearly annoyed by the fact that he was alive. In reply, Byakko laughed again.
"Ha! Very much alive, and to reward your strength, I am inviting you into my lair." Said the monster. " My room of Hell."
"What if we say no?" Shuichi asked, even though he knew there is no other way, just like the rest of us. Byakko laughed before speaking. "You don't want to say no."
"Lead the way Byakko." Kazuma replied to him. "I'll go wherever you want." With that, we walked down the hall that soon led us to a big red door. Once we opened it I felt the heat coming out of it. There was a cavern and at its end, red light came.
"Oh, that's great." Yusuke complained sarcastically. "Now we're walking into a preheated oven."
"Who cares? As long as it leads to Byakko." Carrot Head glared at my sibling.
"Ok, you go first." My brother retorted with annoyance. I sighed and walked in first. As the deeper, we got the higher the temperature became. A perfect time to use my newest technique I had learned from Ruby. I took a deep breath and concentrated on my own body temperature. I felt myself getting a little cold, but I didn't mind it at the moment of course. This comes perfectly well for me. Our small group soon arrived at the end of the tunnel, only to see a room full of pillars, but what got my attention most was the lava underneath them. "Give me a break!" Yusuke gasped before letting out e nervous laugh. "Guess Room of Hell wasn't just a clever name. That's. . ."
"Lava!" Kazuma finished my brother's sentence before ripping a piece of clothing out of his sleeve and threw it onto the lava. It didn't even reach the surface, but it already burned into ashes.
"Wow." Yusuke breathed while I exhale sharply. White and cold puffs coming out of my lips like I was out in the cold winter.
"We better not fall into that, guys." Kazuma warned us, shuddering a little.
"A fine view, isn't it?" Came the question from the second Saint Beast who stood far away on one of the pillars in perfect shape and form. Something that got me really annoyed. "This is my private chamber." He began explaining. "I come here to. . . play." Then he let out another laugh of confidence. Now I am pissed as hell.
"No way! He's back to normal!" Carrot Top shouted in disbelief.
"Monster, you piss me off!" My brother shouted, just as irritated as I was.
"As you have already discovered, this room is filled with lave that will melt anything it touches." Mr Furball said. "So, does anyone have the courage to come and challenge me?" He asked.
"You bet I do circus freak!" My sibling snapped at the cat creature. "You think you've got so much power?!" He was about to go, but a hand on his shoulder stopped him.
"Hey, leave him to me Urameshi." Mr. Genius said confidently. He can't be fucking serious right now.
"Kuwabara." Yusuke trailed off while Byakko chuckled.
"Let the swordman come. He and I have pressing score to settle." Byakko said as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"You got that one right Byakko!" Kazuma agreed. "And this time, I'm beating you up in ways the vet can't even fix!"
"There's no need to push yourself." Hiei spoke, earning a questioning glance from the Carrot head. "You have fought well enough, now let Yusuke or Miyuki take over the battle so you can heal in a small chance that we need you later." The all mighty Shadow Lord stated the facts with a stern tone.
"I'm sorry Hiei, but I don't think I could do that." The stubborn idiot replied. "See, I got this thing called a code and it says no matter how ugly a fight gets, I always finish it. Even it it means risking my life. " He added boldly with pride earning a head shake from me.
"Tsk. A human with an honour code." The demon scoffed out of annoyance.
"You can't argue with the guy, he's like a mule." Yusuke replied with an annoyed expression while I let out another cold puff of air.
"Yes, he's almost as stubborn as you." Kurama pointed out. I couldn't agree more with that statement.
"What? Have you all surrendered?" The big hairball shouted tauntingly.
"Shut up! I'm coming you impatient hairball." Kuwabara shouted and went over the edge. I guess that's my cue. I grabbed the idiot by the back of his belt and pull him harshly backward, making him stumble into my brother. "What the -HEY!" Kuwabara yelled at me while I walked up to the edge and turned to him.
"Miyuki?" Yusuke asked a little surprised. I pointed one finger at him and Carrot top.
"You two, behave." I instructed them sternly before pointing over my childhood best friend. "Rosehead is in charge."
"Hey, girls aren't allowed to fight!" Kazuma protested, but I already jumped down on one of those pillars and faced my enemy who looked like I was some sort of joke.
"What's this?" Byakko asked mockingly. "A weak little girl is going to fight me?" Then he began to laugh, making me take a deep breath and let another white and cold air out of my system.
"Oh, here we go." I spoke smoothly. "Already treating me like a joke. I'll make sure to leave you like it's funny." I looked at my enemy whose eyes twitched a little.
"Oh, really?" The beast asked, still mocking me. "Well, I'll make sure to kill you quick because I want a real challenge here, not some weakling like you." His words did piss me off but I just let out another breath and stayed calm.
"Oh, please Mr. Furball, if I wanted to kill myself, I'd just climb your ego and jump to your IQ." I sassed back. Looks like I hit a nerve because I saw his wicked grin shift into a snarl.
"You dare to mock me?!" Byakko snapped getting irritated with my comebacks, making the edge of my lips curl up a little as I prepared myself into a fighting chance.
"Bring it on little Kitty." I taunted him again. This is going to be interesting, that's for sure. Let's just hope my techniques had improved enough for this small match.
