Kyouka Ankoku (Strenthing Darkness)
14 [Celestial]
Akujin smiled as he looked at Yusuke. The sky above rumbled as black clouds rolled in. Lightning flashed in the distance and strong winds blowing in the all directions started up.
"Your ancestor might have beat me once," Akujin replied, glaring at Yusuke. "But you will not beat me. You're just a ningen who just happens to have Youkai blood in you."
"Whatever makes you think you can win." Yusuke answered, getting into a fighting stance.
With the crack of thunder, Akujin darted towards Yusuke. Bringing his arms up, he defended himself from a flurry of punches being dealt by Akujin. With each blow Akujin would land on Yusuke, Yusuke was pushed back a foot or two. The storm in the sky continued to rage on, showing no signs of letting up.
"Fight me seriously!" Akujin shouted, punching Yusuke with all his might.
Yusuke just looked at Akujin's face. Akujin's eyes were boiling with anger and glowing red. Yusuke noticed an opening at Akujin's side and brought his knee up. Another crack of thunder, and Akujin was kneed in the side by Yusuke. Akujin stopped his punching and looked at Yusuke's knee embedded in his side.
Yusuke expected to hear Akujin howling in pain, but was shocked to hear him laughing
"Nice move." Akujin answered, smiling evilly at Yusuke. "But let me show you how it's done!"
And with that, Akujin grabbed Yusuke's leg. With a tight grip on his ankle, Akujin began to spin Yusuke around. Everyone watched in shock as Yusuke was being spun around like a rag doll.
"Let's see if you can fly!" Akujin shouted as he let go of Yusuke.
Yusuke went flying into the air. Akujin just looked at him and began to laugh his head off. Yusuke opened his eyes and saw himself heading head first into a giant boulder. Thinking quickly, Yusuke brought his hands over his head, just as he slammed into the boulder.
"YUSUKE!!!" Keiko shouted as she watched him slam into the boulder in horror.
A large cloud of gray smoke and dust rose into the raging sky. Lightning flashed like mad and Akujin slowly made his way over to Yusuke's crash site. He kicked aside several broken off pieces of the giand boulder while facing the thick gray cloud before him.
"Seems the famous Yusuke Urameshi has fallen." Akujin answered. "Such a shame. He didn't last quiet as long as I expected."
Akujin through down a stone and walked away.
Keiko watched as Akujin walked away laughing. Tears began to build up in her eyes when she didn't see anything moving in the gray cloud. She lowered her head and began to cry.
"Yusuke...no." Keiko cried. "YUSUKE!!"
"Ssshhh...Keiko-San." Numata whispered, causing Keiko to stop.
Numata pointed down towards the ground. Keiko stopped crying for a minute and looked at where Numata was pointing.
The area around Yusuke's crash site began to vibrate. Akujin stopped walking and turned around. He watched as broken off chunks of the boulder began to rise into the air. Lightning continued to flash and cracking of thunder got louder and closer.
Slowly, a silhouette figure could be seen in the clouds. The ground continued to shake as the gray cloud of smoke and dust began to part. Akujin's eyes narrowed as the silhouette figure got closer. Yusuke stepped out of the gray clouds, his entire body glowing.
"Not bad. Most people wouldn't have survived that." Akujin answered facing Yusuke completely.
"I'm not like most people." Yusuke replied as he continued to glow.
Akujin narrowed his eyes some more as he continued to glare at Yusuke. Yusuke rolled his hands into fists as he glared back at Akujin. Bit by bit, all of his energy began to gather into his fists. Viens began to buldge in Yusuke's arms as he concentrated on his energy.
"This one is for kidnapping Keiko!" Yusuke shouted as he looked up at Akujin. "Rei Gun!"
Yusuke formed a gun with his fingers and aimed it at Akujin. A split-second passed and a giant blue energy ball was fired from Yusuke's fingertips. It roared across the surface as it raced towards Akujin. Akujin moved aside, only to have his side clipped by the Rei Gun attack. Blood splattered onto the floor and ran down Akujin's side.
"I missed." Yusuke answered, lowering his hands.
Akujin looked at his wounded side and just smiled up at Yusuke.
"That was nothing but a beesting to me." Akujin replied, staring evilly at Yusuke.
"Shit. If he hadn't moved, he'd have a hole in his stomach." Yusuke thought to himself.
"Hmm...this Ningen is strong." Akujin thought as he looked at Yusuke. "He might be a lot tougher then I originally thought."
Yusuke braced himself when he saw Akujin getting into an offensive stance.
"Time to get this fight into gear." Akujin answered as his eyes flashed.
Everyone watched in silence as Akujin's hands began to glow.
"May I suggest you cover the eyes of the young ones in the audience?" Akujin asked Yusuke. "After all, I wouldn't want them to be dramatized by this next attack."
Yusuke just continued to glare at Akujin as he prepared for whatever he'd deal him.
"I know you're going to like this attack." Akujin answered, forming his fingers into a gun. "REI GUN!!"
Everyone's eyes widen in shock, including Yusuke's. With the passing of another split-second, a dark red ball of energy was fired from the fingertips of Akujin. Yusuke looked at Akujin's Rei Gun attack approaching him.
"YUSUKE!" Shouted Keiko from where she was.
