Kyouka Ankoku Strenthing Darkness Chapter 18: Attack, a yu yu hakusho fanfic

Kyouka Ankoku (Strenthing Darkness)
18 [Attack]

Numata raised her left arm into the air. Lightning flashed around her as the wind began to pick up in speed. Everyone watched in silence as the possesed Numata gathered energy in her left hand. Yusuke could feel the sweat drop slowly falling down the side of his face as he looked at her.

"By the time I'm done with you," Possesed Numata spoke. "There won't be one trace of you left."

"Hate to break it to you, but I won't go down that easily." Yusuke answered, his hands beginning to glow again. "I still have a little spunk left in me."

Yusuke clamped his hands together and formed his fingers into a gun.

"REI GUN!" Yusuke shouted, firing a beam of energy at Numata.

Numata's tiger stripes began to glow as well as her hallow eyes. She lowered her raised hand so it was even with the approaching Rei Gun attack. She smiled as her fingertips began to glow.

"TIGER CLAW FURY SWIPE!" Numata shouted.

Crescent shaped ki blades were fired from her finger tips. They ripped the ground apart as they roared towards Yusuke's attack. Numata smiled, while Yusuke frowned. The two attacks collided in a bright flash of light. The Rei Gun attacked was shredded into pieces by Numata's attack and continued towards Yusuke.

"Yusuke, look out!!" Shouted Keiko.

Yusuke jumped aside just as the crescent ki blades shot past him. With wide eyes, he watched as the crescent ki blades sliced anything in its path in half. When they were too far too see, the crescent ki blades exploded, filling the sky with light.

"Seems you were lucky, Yusuke." Numata spoke, her tiger stripes still glowing. "You've managed to dodge the attack."

"Dammit Akujin! If you were a true man, you'd stop hiding behind a girl and face me!" Yusuke shouted, looking up at the clouds.

"Be glad I'm doing you a favor." Akujin's voice spoke. "Instead of dieing painfully at my hands, you get to die quickly at the hands of a girl."

Numata's fingertips began to glow again, along with her eyes.

"Akujin took over...Numata's body??" Botan asked, still a bit confused.

"That's the whole reason why she was here." Hiei answered. "She wasn't with Akujin to just watch the fight, she was with him, incase it came to the point he needed another host body."

"But I don't understand. Why posses her body? Why didn't he chose to posses someone else?" Botan asked, looking at Hiei.

"Because the spell only works if they are blood related." Hiei replied, looking at the fight.

"TIGER CLAW FURY SWIPE!" Numata shouted.

More of the crescent ki blades were unleashed. Yusuke dodged them left and right as they came at him. A few of the crescent ki blades scartched his arms and face in the process of dodging them. The crescent ki blades shot up into the sky and exploded.

"Is the ningen getting tired?" Asked Akujin, as Yusuke panted.

"Damn you Akujin..." Yusuke cursed as he held his bleeding arm.

Numata just looked down at the weakening Yusuke.

"Blood related?" Botan asked.

"Hiei, what are you saying??" Kurama asked, looking down at the koorime.

"Like Yusuke, Numata is half-demon." Hiei answered. "Her mother was a human, born with ESP. And her father...was Akujin."

Shock expression overcame the faces of Kurama, Botan and Kuwabara.

"On Numata's tenth birthday, the nature of her happily family was shattered." Hiei spoke, closing his eyes as he remembered. "The day of Numata's birthday was the one-thousand year mark. Fearing that he might die, Akujin needed human flesh."

The ground exploded and Yusuke went flying back. Possed Numata looked at Yusuke, a cold emotionless shine in her eyes. Her hands began to glow a deep red color. Yusuke held his bleeding side in pain as he struggled to get up on the shattered ground beneath him. Numata just smiled evilly as her eyes began to glow red.

"At first, he tried to resist the urge." Hiei continued. "But it soon became to powerful and overpowered him. In blind hunger, he went after Numata."

Numata screamed as the table was knocked over. Her birthday cake hit the floor and candles caught fire to the rug. Akujin reached for Numata, his long dark nails flashing in the light. Numata tried to get out of the way, but was cut across the chest by Akujin's nails. Blood splattered everywhere from her wound as the ten-year-old Numata huddled on the ground.

"Numata's mother tried to stop Akujin from killing her." Hiei answered, opening his eyes. "So she offered her life in return for Numata's safety. Akujin, still overcome by blind hunger, went after his wife. Right in front of Numata, he devoured her."

Numata, still bleeding from her deep wound, looked up. Her eyes widen in both shock and disbelief. She watched in horror as Akujin ripped her mother apart and began to eat her part by part. Tears streamed down Numata's cheeks as mother's decapitated head lay on the floor in front her in a pool of red blood.

"How...how do you know all this Hiei?" Botan spoke in shock.

Hiei glanced the blue haired girl and looked away.

"It doesn't matter." Hiei answered.

"I think I'm going to be sick..." Kuwabara replied, his face turning green.

Yusuke slammed into the ground again, damaged badly.

"Now, ningen." Numata answered, the tiger stripes on her left arm still glowing. "It's time to put you out of your pain for good."

Yusuke looked up at Numata with his still good eye.

"TIGER CLAW FURY SWIPE!"

As the crescent ki beams roared towards him, Yusuke closed his eyes.

"Keiko. I'm sorry...I can't...fight..."
