Kyouka Ankoku Strenthing Darkness Chapter 6: Kurama, a yu yu hakusho fanfic

Kyouka Ankoku (Strenthing Darkness)
6 [Kurama]

"Not exactly the opponent I wanted to face first, but an opponent nonetheless." Akujin answered as he faced the fox demon before him.

"Kurama..." Botan replied as she looked at him a bit worried.

"Let's get started, shall we?" Akujin asked, placing his hands to his side.

"Your move." Kurama replied patiently.

Akujin clapped his hands together and his muscles soon began show. Red veins slowly crept along the white parts of his eyes and towards his pupils. The ground around him began to crack as small flickers of electricity sparked. Veins on Akujin's muscles began more visable as he continued to gather energy.

"H-holy smokes!!" Kuwabara shouted, as he took a step back. "W-what's happening? Is that an earthquake?!"

"No. That's Akujin." Hiei answered, keeping his eyes on Akujin.

Kurama stood the confidently as Akujin continued to show off.

"He's a monster!" Keiko shouted over the sound of the howling wind.

Numata just folded her arms as she silently watched.

"READY!!! AND GO!!!" Akujin shouted as he darted towards Kurama (note : if that line sounds familiar, that's because it's from G Gundam. domon kashu rules!).

Akujin disappeared into the fog, catching Kurama off guard. He looked around, seeing nothing but gray and hearing nothing but silence. Finally he sensed Akujin above him and jumped aside. Just as he did, Akujin came falling from the sky. He slammed into the spot Kurama once stood in, breaking the rocks apart.

"Clever." Kurama said out loud. "I should've known you'd use the fog as a curtain. A mistake that almost cost me my life."

"Make more mistakes, and you might not win against me." Akujin answered as he stood up. "But then again, it's not like you WILL win against me."

"We'll see." Kurama answered, tightning his grip on his whip.

Akujin charged towards Kurama again, this time at a much quicker pace. Kurama planted his feet firmly into the ground and awaited him. Just like before, Akujin disappeared back into the fog. Kurama jumped into the air and lifted his whip.

"Kagon-Retsuzan-Shi!"

The Rose Whip shot downwards and rapped around in invisible object. Akujin re-appeared on the ground the Rose Whip tied around his right wrist. Kurama landed a few feet away and pulled hard on the whip. The sharp thorns of the whip broke through Akujin's skin, sending blood trickling down his arm.

"You expected to win...using this?" Akujin asked, a hint of laughter in his voice.

Akujin grabbed the Rose Whip with his left hand and smiled evilly at Kurama. With a might pull, Kurama was sent skidding towards Akujin. He tried to stop himself, but the force of Akujin's pull was too much. Red lightning flashed in the sky and Kurama fell. Akujin removed the Rose Whip that was wrapped around his wrist and looked down at Kurama.

Kurama touched the spot Akujin had punched him. His lower jaw was in pain and blood trickled down the right corner of his lip. Kurama grabbed his lower jaw firmly and snapped it back into place. He rose to his feet, facing Akujin.

"My. You just don't know when to quit, do you?" Akujin asked, putting a hand on his hip.

"Kurama!" Botan called out to him, a bit worried.

"I'm fine. Just stay there." Kurama answered, glancing back at Botan.

"Round Two, red?" Akujin asked, smiling evilly at Kurama.

Kurama glared at Akujin as he wiped the blood away from his bottom lip.

Akujin's eyes flashed and his eyes flashed red. He kicked off the ground and again ran towards Kurama. Kurama jumped into the air and landed gracefully behind Akujin. He quickly rose to his feet as rose petals surrounded him. Akujin turned around and faced Kurama.

"Fu-Ka-Enbu-Jin!!"

The rose petals spiraled towards Akujin in the wind. The petals were all over Akujin. Cutting his arms, legs, face, shoulders and hands. Akujin didn't seem to flinch as they cut into his flesh. When the attack was over the petals disappeared leaving a heavily wounded Akujin behind.

"My turn." Akujin replied evilly.

Kurama felt the ground beneath him move. Just as he looked down, this snake like creature shot out of the ground and wrapped around Kurama's legs. A second snake creature shot out of the ground and wrapped tightly around Kurama's mid-section. Kurama tried to break free, but the snake creatures were too strong.

"Now." Akujin answered as a dagger formed in his hand. "Let's end this."

Akujin raised the dagger into the air, prepared to embed it into Kurama's flesh...
