Getting good. I can't wait to see Kurama's reaction when he meets the hunter who killed him. Does Hiei know the others have come to save him?
Aqua: ^_^;; unfortunately, Hiei has no idea. Poor guy's locked in a dungeon somewhere. Yes, the Kurama and hunter thing is going to get interesting, I bet....

More, more, more!!!! I just love how you ended this chapter. And the idea of Ikare using the same person who killed Kurama before once again is utter GENIUS! Please hurry with the next chapter. I can't wait to see what happens!
Aqua: *preen preeeeen* Sankyuu! *has only rarely been called a genius* I thought it would make things a little more interesting for our heroes.... *big grin*

Evil Haru! Wait till I get my hands on him, I'll kill him and that slut of his, how dare he hurt my beautiful, kawaii little koorime. I hope Kurama or whoever gives him a very painful death.
Aqua: *cackles* I most certainly have plans for Haru... although, they may not be what you're thinking. (Of course, they may not turn out to be what I'm thinking. That tends to happen a lot ^^;)

*catches haru, ties him up and stabs him with sharp and pointy objects until he´s begging for mercy!*
evil bastard! i hate him!
will hiei find out that it was TB (that bastard)
that killed his lover? will he kill him slow and painfully? pweeaasee????
i like your story, really! this is the first story i´ve rewiewed more than once! go on writing and never stop, okay?
*gives her a plate of nikkuman (jap. food, really yummy? anyone wants the recipe?) for bait*
c´mon, write and you get it *singing*
Aqua: wai wai!!! Yummy nikkuuuuu!! *glomp* ^_^;; See, I'm writing!! See see?? *is a sucker for food and goodies, can you tell?* Honestly, I'm still not sure how Hiei gets out of his particular pradiciment(sp?). ^^; he's all chained up with no place to go. (yes, i know, bad pun)
Armageddon ()
Oh but =^__^= more pleeeeeeeaaaaaase.
I want to pick on the pain Baka, I have sharp object.
When's the fight?
Maybe Yuusake should lead more?
Aqua: *cough* ^^; I don't really like Yuusuke. Bad thing, I know, when he's the main character of the series. Still, I'm trying to make sure he has a very important role in this *nod nod* Maybe it will even become Team Urameshi eventually....
Yonaka no Inu-Ryuu
AAAAGH!!! Haru is an evil son of a bitch!!!! And I'm glad Kei enjoyed what I did, as sick as that is. -.-;;;
And about that jet pack, Koenma wears a jetpack at the first Black Martial Arts Tournament (can't remember the japanese term) so that he can escape.
Aqua: Haru~He is he is!! Kei~^^;; He did he did. Ahhh!! I only have the episodes up to the end of the first battle in the Tournament. ^^;; I don't know much of what happens after (although I do know the spoilers LOL and I've seen clips)

Good work. You've spent an impressive amount of energy on this. You seem to have captured the basics of the show and twisted them. I like this quite a lot.
Aqua: *beams happily* Sankyuu!!! It is AU, but I'm trying to keep it as close to the original as possible. *nod nod* There are going to be some things the same in both the ficcie and the show, but ways of getting there will probably be very different.
Black Starr Kitsune
I killed that guy!! Man now I'm going to have to hunt him down again. Haru needs to DIE!! Please update soon. (^_^)
Aqua: LOL!! ^_^ Gomen, gomen, but I needed to ressurect him for the storyline. Don't worry, tho, I'm pretty sure he isn't going to last for very long. I mean, look at his opponents. Kurama alone would probably want to... *cough* very painfully.... ^^;; ouchie.... *would feel sorry for him if it were anyone else*
Ice'is Blue
That horrible rotten scum! Trying to kill Kurama not once, but twice! Grrrr! The upcoming action scenes should be interesting. The boys have been learning to use their powers separately and now they must work together as a team. It should be interesting.
Aqua: *cackles* Judging by yours, and several other ppls, reactions, future chapters are going to either piss you off or get you wanting more. *nod nod* ^_^ And, YAY, they work as a team in this chapter!!
koashura ()
ouch. poor kurama.
thats all i have to say :P
Aqua: ^_^ LOL that's all you have to say! So true so true.
Author Note: Someone pointed out to me through an email that I keep switching "Kuwabara" and "Kazuma" every few chapters. ^^; This is because Yukina and Kuwabara think of him with his first name, while the others think and call him by his last. *nod nod* Just to clear that up.
*is gonna post the chapter now because she has to hunt down mother nature and beat the living snot out of her* I'll give you three feet of snow, and then some!! It's April!! No more snow!!! *WAIIIILLS*
Reaching Your Limits: A YYH alternate universe
Episode 45: Stand Against a Demon. First Fight.
Yukina gave a startled cry when she saw Yuusuke fly backward. She quickly ran to his side, reaching up to quickly heal the wound which had opened on his shoulder. "We can't even scratch the damn thing," he exclaimed, cursing when Kurama barely shifted out of the way of two tenticles that tried to squish him between them.
His whip flicking outward, Kurama sent it flying through the tender flesh of the tenticle, ripping the end off of it. However, like all of the tenticles they had damaged before, it simply healed only a moment later.
Kazuma yelled, seeming to of recovered from his earlier fear, as he ran toward the creature. He jerked his sword around, slashing it down over the creature's back. However, the energy blade was deflected easily, and he was thrown back as Yuusuke had been only a few moments earlier.
"Don't give up," she encouraged the youth beside her before standing and running to Kazuma's side. Luckily, he didn't have any open wounds. "Are you all right?"
"How are we supposed to kill this thing? It takes everything we've thrown at it and then some," Kazuma exclaimed.
Yukina frowned, trying to recall any time in the past in which she or Hiei had had a run in with this species before. However, except for the name and a few basic details, she couldn't remember anything. There was something nagging at her from the back of her mind, however, and she tried to grasp onto it. She knew that it was something important.
Kurama gave a yelp when a tenticle wrapped around his ankle, snapping him toward the demon's jaws. Before he could be devoured, Genkai jumped in between and used a bolt of energy to slice the youth loose. Yukina gave a relieved sigh when Kurama fell to the ground and immediately rolled onto his feet, preparing his Rose Whip for another attack. At least injuries had been kept to a minimum, so far. She'd been able to heal the more serious ones.
"Kuwabara, let's try a simultanious attack. Hit from the right, at the count of three," Yuusuke called.
Kazuma nodded, waiting just long enough for Yuusuke to hit three before the two of them sprang forward. Unfortunately, the demon's split eyes could detect both of their movements and it spun around, letting its tenticles fly out in all directions. It knocked both boys to the ground before they had a chance to even land one shot on it.
Staring into its face, Yukina gasped as the thought she'd been trying to grasp suddenly flooded into her mind. "You have to attack it from below! It's scales protect its body and head, but its stomach is bared. If you can attack it from below, you can kill it," she yelled.
"How the hell are we supposed to do that?" Yuusuke exclaimed, motioning to the demon's belly. It was barely one foot off of the ground, guarded on all sides by overlapping scales.
"I have an idea," Kurama shouted, running a hand through his hair. "Distract it for a moment, then draw it over here when I tell you!"
Yukina watched as he bent down, his hand playing along the hardened dirt of the forest floor. There was no grass here, the larger plants having chased out any nutrients that grass might of lived on. She couldn't help but wonder what he was doing, although she had the feeling she might know.
"Okay, get it to come over here," Kurama finally yelled, standing up again.
Yuusuke jumped behind the creature and kicked it in the rear. As he'd expected it to do, the demon backed up and turned around, a vicious roar ripping from its fanged mouth. He was knocked to the side as several tenticles landed a hit on his form, sending him sprawling to the ground.
"Common, you stupid demon!" Kazuma yelled, running up toward the creature's face. Yukina gasped, but was unable to look away as Kazuma got dangerously close, raising his Spirit Sword to slice away the tenticles which rose to attack him. When he was too close for the demon to attack, it backed away yet again, bringing it to the point which Kurama had wanted.
The red head knelt on the ground, and Yukina felt the youki around him splurge from his form, filling the area. The demon gave out a scream as plants suddenly spurted out from below it. Some of them wrapped around the demon, but Yukina was certain that an even greater number had punctured the creature's stomach and were filling his body.
Although the plants weren't strong enough to break the scales, they were strong enough to turn the demon's insides into mush. With a final furious roar, the demon finally collapsed onto the ground, becoming still as its tenticles curled up toward its form.
"Did that do it?" Kurama asked, gasping a little for some air.
Healing Yuusuke once again, Yukina gave the reincarnated youko a wide smile. "It's dead now, thanks to all of you," she said.
"That was good thinking, fox boy," Genkai commented with a grin.
Kurama laughed, rubbing the back of his head. "When Yukina meantioned that its stomach was its weak spot, the idea occured to me suddenly. What kind of help would I be, if I couldn't come up with a plan like that? It was obvious to me, once I realized," he said.
"We shouldn't stick around. Another demon will appear soon, to eat this one," Yukina stated. Although she didn't want to say so and alarm them, she could already feel several youki signatures heading toward them, ready to take advantage of an already killed meal.
Yuusuke turned an interesting shade of green. "That is absolutely disgusting," he stated.
Smiling, Yukina shook her head and motioned for them to follow her once again as they continued on the path toward Haru's territory. "In this world, it is eat or be eaten. Sometimes literally. There are not many demons with thought patterns over very basic instinct," she explained.
"Well, let's stop Haru and get Hiei back, so we can get out of this freaky place," Kazuma exclaimed.
