11:30. Everyone prepared to head for the woods. Hiei and Kurama where training in the
yard. Kuwabara and Yusuke where going over a sort of battle plan. When it was 11:40
they started out. They reached the woods. And after about five more minutes of walking
they came to the clearing Lurkama had talked about. There was nothing there. Hiei
took the bandanna off his forehead and used his jagan to search the area. He picked
up something in the middle of the clearing a shot a fireball at it. The fireball stopped in
thin air and Lurkama appeared. Holding it.
"I'm surprised you detected me," he throw the fireball back at them and Hiei blocked it.
"Like I said before, this is where we will fight. And to the lucky winner, you get this,"
Yukina then appeared in Lurkama's arms. She still looked cold and dead like before.
Hiei swallowed hard, as did Kuwabara. Lurkama then sent Yukina to the side and put a
blue and purple force field around her.
"OK, so who's going first?" Lurkama got in a fighting stance.
Yusuke looked over at everyone else then took a step foreword.
"I'll go first," He declared as he prepared to fire his Rei Gun.
"Fine."
Lurkama jumped.
"REI GUN!!" Yusuke shouted at his foe. The beam was shot perfectly at Lurkama's
head. No one could possibly dodge or block Yusuke's signature attack. Lurkama did.
With a blink of an eye he moved away from the danger and appeared right behind
Yusuke then fired a blue beam from his hand. It hit with a lot force. Yusuke dropped to
his knees. Trying to block out the pain.
"Your still alive? I was really close," Lurkama looked at the badly injured challenger.
Yusuke struggled to his feet. But with one swift kick from Lurkama he was down for
good.
Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei watched Yusuke's defeat with disbelieve. He didn't even
last five minutes Kurama thought as he watched Lurkama brush his brown hair out of
his eyes.
"Who's next? Maybe I'll break a sweat with my next challenger," He gave the
remaining group an evil look.
"Y-You.....BASTARD!!!! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!!" Kurama exploded. He
clenched his teeth with hatred for Lurkama.
"Why? Because, like all people I appreciate a good fight. I haven't had one in a long
time. I was hoping a fight with you guys would fulfill my needs," Lurkama answered
Kurama with a seemingly calm answer.
"So you only fight for fun? No reason?!" Kurama had had enough. He grabbed a rose
and made his rose whip appear. Lurkama smiled slyly, then closed his eyes and waited
for Kurama's attack. The youko charged and let the whip fly. It made a loud 'SNAP' as
it hit Lurkama's face.
"Heh, how do you like that?" Kurama grinned.
Lurkama opened his eyes, then smiled once more. Not a drop of blood could be seen
on his face. Only a small red mark.
"Ha! Your foolish toys can't harm me," He grabbed the whip and ripped it from
Kurama's hands. He brought above his head, and with one simple twist ripped apart.
Kurama gasped and the remaining pieces of his whip fell to the ground. Lurkama
charged him as he was still mesmerized by the power of Lurkama. I gave it my all he
thought, how could he not even be fazed by it?
"KURAMA LOOK OUT!!" Hiei's warning broke his spell.
"Eh?" Before Lurkama could lay a single punch on Kurama, he jumped to the side. He
then charged Lurkama and punched him in the side as hard as he could. Kurama felt
relieved when he heard a rib break. So he isn't immortal, he assured himself. But his
joy was short lived. Lurkama gave Kurama a powerful blow to the gut, sending him
flying across the clearing. He landed on his feet but dropped to his knees as he
grabbed his stomach in pain.
"You little brat! Your going to regret what you just did!" Lurkama shouted his threat.
Kurama couldn't even look up. The pain was overwhelming. Suddenly there was
another sharp pain in his shoulder. Lurkama had grabbed him by the shoulder and was
squeezing it. Kurama's bones started to shatter, he could hear it. He let a cry pain slip
out. Then Lurkama let go and stumbled back. Kuwabara stood over Kurama fist out. He
had surprised Lurkama and was able to get in a good punch in his broken rib. Now it
was his turn to grab his stomach in pain.
"Thanks...Kuwabara," Kurama managed to say. His shoulder was bleeding and the
pain in his gut was still there.
"Hey, we're in this together," Kuwabara helped Kurama up with his still good arm and
brought him to the side.
"OK buddy, now you have to deal with me," Kuwabara was ready to kick a§§. Lurkama
examined the new challenger. He gave his familiar evil smile.
Hiei had all the while been watching everyone else fight. He was taking note of all
Lurkama's moves. He clocked speed. He judged his strength. His overall power. Hiei
was able to come up with a simple conclusion. He was good. VERY good. He watched
Kuwabara and Lurkama battle it out. He was barley holding his ground. Kuwabara that
is. Kurama had shown Hiei that he was indeed mortal. An immortal's rib wouldn't break.
Plus it left Lurkama with a weak spot. Hiei glanced over at Yusuke. He was forcing
himself on fours. Coughing all the way. He noticed Kuwabara was now fighting. He
looked around and saw Kurama on the other side of the clearing grasping his shoulder
and holding his stomach. He looked over at Hiei who had returned to his examination of
the fight.
"Are we screwed?" Yusuke asked getting Hiei's attention. Hiei gave out a small laugh.
"I have yet to try my luck with this guy," Hiei answered, taking off his black robe, and
got out his katana, then awaited Kuwabara's defeat.
"Are you going to use your jaganist form?" Yusuke clumsily walked over to Hiei and
sat down beside him.
"I have to. We are screwed if I don't. I woulder if he's strong enough to stand up to my
dragon?" Hiei looked at his bandaged arm.
Kuwabara fell. Blood streams fell from his mouth. He was unable to get up. His left leg
was broken.
"Heh, not so tough now eh?" Lurkama laughed, "Thats three! One more to go then this
little girl and all you will go to hell." Lurkama stared at Hiei. The fire demon had his
katana out and was ready for anything. He had watched all of Lurkama's moves. He
knew his weakness, and moves he had trouble defending against.
"Well boy, are you scared? I knocked off your friends with ease. Do you think you can
make any type of difference?"
"You fought the weakess of this planet, and won. Good for you. Now you get to fight a
real fire demon," Hiei bluffed and took a few steps foreward.
"Your the strongest? Ha! Lets see."
Hiei now knew Lurkama didn't know anything about his power. He had underestimated
Hiei dramatically. And he would pay for it dearly.
Lurkama lunged. Hiei stood his ground. He noticed that the others had tried to dodge
this and was hit before they reached a new position. Without moving, Hiei could strike
faster and with more precision. When Lurkama got withen an inch of Hiei, he stabbed
forward with his katana, not in his face but in the broken rib.
"Ahh!" Lurkama yelled. The katana passed through easily and finally caused the
seemingly untouchable foe bleed, badly.
Hiei retrieved his katana and smiled at the blood. Lurkama tried to stand up striate,
failed the first time, but was successful the secound.
"Well, I have to admit, your pretty good kid. Lets see if your luck holds out," Lurkama
powered up a blue ball of energy and prepared to shoot it at Hiei.
Hah, you think I'm going to wait for you to power that stupid ball up? I'll slice you in two
before you have the chance. Hiei charged. A surpised Lurkama tried to power up his
energy ball faster, but he knew he couldn't get it ready in time. He dropped the ball and
met Hiei's sword with his own.
"eh?" Hiei gasped. He didn't expect Lurkama to have a katana too. But that was OK.
Hiei thought. He expected something like this.
They both jumped back.
"Finally," Lurkama sighed, "a worthy opponent."
"But I will strike you down, just like I did the others."
"I'm not intimidated by your weak threats," Hiei spat, "Now lets get this over with."
"As you wish."
This time Hiei attacked first. He tried to hit Lurkama with his katana but he dodged.
Unfortunately, when Lurkama attacked him, Hiei wasn't fast enough to get out of the
way (thats got to be very fast), and took a punch in the face. Lurkama seized the
opportunity to attack Hiei in full force. He threw punch after punch at the little fire
demon. Then he stopped and let Hiei fall to the ground. Instead of falling however, Hiei
still stood straight up, a grin formed on his face. (^__^)
"I hope thats not all."
"You a§§hole! I will kill you!"
Those punches acually really hurt Hiei. Of course he be damned if he told anyone
that. Enough was enough though. While Lurkama's anger grew, his fighting technique
became sloppy. Maybe I wont have to use my jaganist form after all Hiei thought to
himself. Hiei dodged the punching and kicking attempts from Lurkama, and was able to
land some of his own. Then he gave Lurkama a quick stab in the leg. Lurkama was
loseing, and he knew it. He sat on his good knee as Hiei stood a few feet from him.
Lurkama was bleeding even more now.
Hiei studied Lurkama's actions. He can't fight anymore. He lost.
"Your done!" Hiei shouted, "You've lost to a more superior fighter. Now like you said,
revive Yuknia!"
"I...haven't lost...yet," Lurkama sputtered out. Just then a cloud formed around
Lurkama. He started to glow like he was radioactive. Hiei shielded his eyes.
"N-nani?!" Hiei watched as Lurkama turned into a beast. His skin turned brown and
his hair grey. He grew fangs and spikes down his back.
"What the hell are you?" Hiei stepped back.
"You should feel honored. Only a few people has ever seen this form. No one has
ever lived to tell about it though." The monster lundged at Hiei. he tried to dodge but no
luck. The monster gave Hiei a kick in the stomach knocking all the wind out of him.
Then the monster gave him another kick in the head. He flew across the ground.
"In his new form he's way stronger and faster than before. I have to use my jaganist
form now."
Hiei stood up. A light formed around him, his skin turned green. Eyes then covered his
body. He was now at his best. If he couldn't defeat Lurkama like this, there was no
hope for Yukina or anyone.
The monster seeing Hiei's new form attacked. Hiei got behind him and punched him in
the spine. The monster screamed, and returned the punch with a red energy ball in
Hiei's stomach. Both sides seemed equal. Every attack that was given, was returned
with something else. Until they we're both tired. They backed off onto either end of the
clearing. The breathed heavily. I have to use the dragon Hiei thought as he looked at
his arm. He unwrapped the cloth and prepared to onleash his ultimate attack. Tons of
energy formed around Hiei's arm.
Lurkama just now noticed this. He didn't like it. He charged Hiei.
"To late you bastard!" Hiei shouted as he let his black dragon fly head-on into
Lurkama.
"AHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Lurkama screamed as the dragon made contact. Then his scream
was interrupted by an explosion. Lurkama fell from the sky. Back to normal and in
terrible condition. Hiei collasped on the ground, exhausted. After about five minutes
Hiei managed to pull himself and face the struggling to life Lurkama. He was able to
turn and face the fire demon.
"Revive Yukina," Hiei said, "REVIVE HER!"
"I....will do..as I ..have promised..." Lurkama coughed, "You..are a....remarkable
fighter...Hiei.." Lurkama then took his last breath and laid still, dead. His body
disapeared and in it's place a green jewel. Hiei stubbled toward the jewel. As he was
about to grab it, it flew over to Yukina and dissolved the force field.
Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara were now all some what awake and walked over to
join Hiei. Kurama and Yusuke supported Kuwabara. As the force field disappeared the
jewel spoke.
"To be able to revive this girl. I need a replacement life." It said.
"What!" They all shouted.
"That bastard! How could he!" Kurama cursed.
"Take my life in exchange for Yukina's" Kuwabara stepped forward.
That idiot. Yukina is going to be very sad he gave his life for her's. Hiei thought. He
thought about how much Yukina cared about Kuwabara. He wouldn't be able to live
with Yukina always being depressed.
"You will exchange your life?" The jewel asked.
"Hai..."
"Matte! Take my life instead!" Hiei blurted out.
"Hiei...." Kurama looked over at his dear friend. Not to convice him to change his
mind, but to support his concern for his sister's feelings.
"Hiei? What do you think..."
"Kuwabara. Yukina loves you. Even though you don't deserve her. She would hate
herself for the rest of her life if you made this sacrifice. I, on the other hand, would only
be missed." Hiei gave Kuwabara a stern look.
"Fine, do what you want."
"Are YOU the one making the exchange?"
"Hai."
"Very well."
Light surrounded Hiei and Yukina. Yukina slowly woke up as Hiei slowly fell asleep.
"Hiei....I..." Kurama didn't know if he should say 'good luck' or 'your a dumba§§'
"See you around Kurama," Hiei said sleepily.
Yukina then suddenly woke up as Hiei fell into a deep sleep.
"W-What happened?" Yukina walked over to the battered group.
"YUKINA!" Kuwabara cleamed as he embraced Yukina warmly in his arms. Then
winced in pain when he remebered his broken leg.
Yukina then looked down.
"Hiei!" Yukina sat beside his limp body, "Whats wrong with him?!"
"Well, Hiei gave his live to.."
"The one called Hiei is not to die now!" The jewel interrupted Yusuke's explanation.
"What?" They all asked.
"This is not the fire demon's, known as Hiei, time to pass on. He is to be revived,"
"Revived?" Yukina asked with a confused expretions on her face.
"Hai," the jewel floated above the little demon's body. Then entered and disappeared.
Hiei woke up slowly. Then turned to look at the bewildered group.
"Am I dead?" He asked.
Kurama gave out a laugh of relieve.
"Not yet."
Kuwabara explianed everything to Yukina as they walked home.
"I gave him a punch and a kick, and kicked his butt big time. Then Hiei finished him
off." Kuwabara held his head high. Hiei didn't seem to mind. He was just glad Yukina
was safe and not hurt. Hiei looked up into the sky. Then back down at Yukina.
"How could someone so gentle be MY sister."
"You can be gentle too."
Hiei spun around. He had been walking a couple of feet from the group and thought
know one had heard him. But Kurama must have snuck up while he was daydreaming.
"Me gentle? What do you mean by that, fox?"
"You can be just as gentle and sweet like Yukina if you wanted to be. I know, I can see
it in your eyes."
"My eyes are those of a demon's."
"On the outside."
"Whats that supposed to mean?"
"I think you know."
Hiei didn't try anymore to understand what Kurama was getting at. He didn't care.
Maybe someday he would tell Yukina about who he really is. When it's the right time.
Now wasn't. Her and Kuwabara where flirting as usual. The mest up gibberish of words
from Kuwabara, and the sweet giggle from Yukina. Her happy life didn't need to be
disturbed by some demon-brother information. Not now. And maybe not ever.

Hiei spun around. He had been walking a couple of feet from the group and thought
know one had heard him. But Kurama must have snuck up while he was daydreaming.
"Me gentle? What do you mean by that, fox?"
"You can be just as gentle and sweet like Yukina if you wanted to be. I know, I can see
it in your eyes."
"My eyes are those of a demon's."
"On the outside."
"Whats that supposed to mean?"
"I think you know."
Hiei didn't try anymore to understand what Kurama was getting at. He didn't care.
Maybe someday he would tell Yukina about who he really is. When it's the right time.
Now wasn't. Her and Kuwabara where flirting as usual. The mest up gibberish of words
from Kuwabara, and the sweet giggle from Yukina. Her happy life didn't need to be
disturbed by some demon-brother information. Not now. And maybe not ever.
