~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Korama ran in Gouki's direction.
They eventually reached him
He was in a small clearing. Just standing there as if waiting for them.
Korama stoped, the others soon stopped, too.

"heh heh heh..." Gouki chuckled. he seem so sure of himself.
"You finally caught up, eh? But it doesn't matter...I'm gonna kill you anyway!"

Gouki turned around.

"So who's gonna challenge me?"
"I w-" Yusuke began, but he never gor the chance.
"I will." Korama said sternly.

The birds chirped as light filtered through the tree tops of the clearing.
Yusuke didn't like the fact that Korama had taken over the fight, but maybe it was better this way.
Hiei looked quite sure that Korama would win.

Then Gouki lunged for Korama, but he jumped out of the way just in time.

"Come here ya little coward!" Gouki yelled in frustration

Gouki attempted to punch Korama, but to no avail. Korama ducked and kicked him hard in the stomache.
Gouki took a few steps back. He was hurting.

"Ha! You think that'll stop me?" he exclaimed.

Gouki balled his fists and clenched his teeth. He yelled out loud and soon his power was increasing.
He turned into his demon form.
Korama didn't look in the least worried.

"Is that it?" Korama asked nonchalantly
"What?! You impudent little roach!"

Gouki lunged for Korama again.
Korama tried to move but he didnt have enough time.
Gouki gave him one good punch and sent Korama flying back into a tree.
Kuwabara and Yusuke flinched. Hiei didn't. He was watching intently.
Korama got up, massaging his cheek.

"See?" Gouki said "All I need is one good hit and your done!"
"Yes, I suppose..." Korama began. He held a rose in his hand "Rose whip!"

Korama struck Gouki right in the mug and left a good scratch.
Korama struck again and again.
Gouki was riddled with cuts. He was yelping in pain.
Gouki fell to his knees.
Korama stopped.

"You fool. Do you think you can treat such a beautiful creature with such disrespect!" Korama whipped Gouki again
"W-what creature...?" Gouki asked helplessly
"Women. Soft and pure, but you disgrace that!" Another slash.
("Oh, well now we know he likes women" Yusuke said. Hiei rolled his eyes 'fool')

Korama paused.
Goukis tood up.

"hehe heh heeh..." Gouki chuckled again.

Korama's face hardened.

"Your little whip isn't enought to stop me!!!!!" Gouki yelled.

Gouki extended his hand and a small white-pink light glowed in his palm.
Gouki was smiling, murder in his eyes.
Suddenly he clasped his hand. A chain appeared where the light had been.
The light moved, a chain appearing after it.

Kuwabara gasped. "That's the cherry tree spirit!"

The ligh moved down, creating the chain as it went.
It reached the end of the chain and there was another big white-pink light.
The form of a woman appeared in the middle of the light.
She had light pink hair and a small pink garment. The chain was around her neck.

"Monster!" Korama muttered under his breath.
"Like it? She does what ever I say. She's my SLAVE!" Gouki exclaimed.

The light stopped and she collapsed.
Gouki pulled hard on the chain, leaving red gahses on the spirit's neck.

"Get up you worthless piece of crap!" Gouki yelled."Attack him!" He pointed at Korama.

The spirit looked up at Korama pleadingly, as if she was sorry for her attack on him.
She stood up. She was very weak, how could she execute an attack in her condition?
She held her arms up and a small cherry blossom petal appeared between her palms.

"Cherry blossom petal storm!" She collapsed.

Cherry blossom petals appeared out of nowhere, flying about, scratching the gang.
The attack was horribly weak, but Korama knew that if the spirit was in perfect condition, they would have been cut
to shreds.
Gouki pulled on the chain again.

"I said get up!" He back handed the poor spirit.

All the trees and plants seemed to yell in pain for her.
Korama just stood there, Fuming.

"Fool." Korama said.

'The liquid!' he remembered.
Korama would have to find a good time to dump it on the chain. that would free her.
Korama smirked.

"Why you!" Gouki exlaimed
"You think that little spirit is strong?" Korama asked him. (Isn't reverse psycology great?)
"HA! fool!!" Gouki tugged on the chain, but she had passed out. Gouki proceeded to kick her.

'thi is it!' Korama thought. He reached in his pocket and dashed toward Gouki.
He pulled the cork out and dumped the contents of the bottle onto the chain.
The acid began to hiss as it ate through the chain.
Gouki gasped and swatted Koram bck with his forearm.
Korama went flying into a tree right near the gang.

"You nasty little bitch!" Gouki exclaimed "Do you know how hard it was to capture this thing!"

Gouki dropped the chain.
He took a step forward, the green grass crunching under his feet.
"heh heh he..." He chuckled again.
