"Wh-what's happening now??" Kuwabara asked, as he held on to the boulder next to him

Yusuke looked towards Hiei, a worried look on his face.

Botan kept her head turned away as a bright flash of light filled the air. She continued to hold Kurama close to her as the ground began to split around them. Kurama's right hand, which had been resting on Botan's arm twitched. Botan looked down went she felt Kurama gently squeezing her arm.

"Bo...tan??" Kurama asked, still a bit weak.

"Kurama?" Botan asked, shocked when he spoke to her.

"What's happening?" Kurama asked, opening his eyes a bit.

"Hiei's fighting Akujin. He's just unleashed his Jaou Ensatsu Kokuryuhaa attack." Botan replied, looking back towards the fight.

"Who's winning so far?" Kurama asked, still resting in Botan's lap.

"It's hard to say..." Botan answered, a sweat drop slidding down the side of her face.

"What's he doing?" Hiei asked when he noticed Akujin was just standing there.

Akujin looked into the eyes of the dragon as it got closer to his face. He extended his right hand towards the dragon and a red circle appeared in the palm of his hand. As an evil smile curled on his lips, a beam of light was fired from his glowing palm. It struck the black dragon in its forehead, causing it to stop in its tracks.

"No way! How can he do that?!" Kuwabara shouted in shock.

Kurama's eyes widen in fear. He sat up, confusing Botan. He gritted his teeth but ignored the pain in his side. If Kurama didn't do something now, Hiei could be in big trouble.

"HIEI! GET OUT OF THERE!" Shouted Kurama. "GET AWAY FROM THERE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!"

Hiei looked back at Kurama, confused by his words.

"Get out of there now!" Shouted Kurama, his side hurting some more.

Hiei looked towards Akujin and his stalled black dragon.

"Why should I? Nothing's happening." Hiei replied in his thoughts.

A crack of lightning filled the sky. A few more seconds of silent followed before something unbelievable happened. The black dragon created by Hiei slowly began to turn around. It's once hallow eyes were full of anger, hate and rage. It's sharp white teeth ready and dieing to rip some flesh apart.

"What the..." Hiei spoke in shock, when he noticed his own dragon was facing him.

"A little trick of mine." Akujin answered. "One of my favorites."

"HIEI!!" Shouted Kurama to his koorime friend.

"Jaou Ensatsu Kokuryuhaa!!" Shouted Akujin as he pointed a finger at Hiei.

The black dragon let out a loud cry and rushed towards Hiei. Hiei stood there in shock as he watched his own dragon coming at him. He tried to move, but his body was frozen in shock.

"It can't be!" Botan shouted in shock. "He's using Hiei's attack against him?"

"Akujin...has the ability to not only manipulate his opponents attack," Kurama answered, as he leaned back a bit. "But if he wishes, he can manipulate his opponent into becoming his own servent."

"So good-bye, little koorime!!" Shouted Akujin, a demonic shine in his eyes.

Hiei brought his arms up in front of his face just as the black dragon slammed into him. Hiei was pushed back as the black dragon rammed into him. He gritted his teeth as the dragon's sharp teeth dug into his skin. Flashes of lightning danced in the clouds above as the sound of thunder echoed everywhere. Hiei could feel his energy slowly starting to slip away.

With a finally ram, the weakened Hiei was sent soaring. Everyone watched in silence as Hiei's body hit the ground before Yusuke. The black dragon disappeared as Akujin casually walked up Hiei's body. He looked down at him and kicked him in his side.

"Now, little koorime, it's time to put your lights out." Akujin answered, as his sharp nails flashed in the light.

Akujin picked up Hiei by his head. Holding him firmly in his hand, he prepared to stab him with his long, razor-sharp nails. An evil smile formed on his lips as a demonic essence appeared in his eyes. Just as he was about to run his nails through Hiei, his hand was struck by a pale blue energy ball.

Akujin turned his head and noticed Numata's hands still glowing.

"Numata!! How dare you attack me!" Akujin shouted, still holding Hiei in his hand.

Numata just remained silent and glared at Akujin.

"If I didn't need you, I would've killed you by now." Akujin replied, glaring at Numata.

"Hey buddy!" Shouted Kuwabara, catching Akujin's attention.

Akujin faced the loud-mouth red-head.

"Kuwabara, what are you doing?" Yusuke asked his not too bright friend.

"You concentrate on how you're going to save Keiko, Yusuke." Kuwabara replied, facing Akujin.

Akujin watched in silence as Kuwabara approached him.

"Though I don't really like Hiei, I won't let you kick him while he's down." Kuwabara replied, holding out his right hand.

"Are you challenging me?" Akujin asked, a bit surprised.

"Damn right I am." Kuwabara replied as his sword formed in his hand.
