Chapter 7
Hiei lowered into his fighting stance. Kusoatama and Rakuda shuddered and prepared themselves for Hiei's next attack. Hiei smirked as he charged for them. Rakuda powered up and began throwing energy balls in all directions hoping to hit Hiei. Hiei easily dodged them. Rakuda smirked and threw one at Kurama. Hiei blocked it with his katana. He growled and ran towards Kusoatama. Kusoatama jumped to the right. Hiei slashed at him. Kusoatama barely dodged it. Hiei continued to go after Kusoatama. Rakuda started throwing energy at Hiei. He blocked them with ease. Rakuda then threw four at Kurama. They hit him. Hiei finally cut Kusoatama. He fell and Hiei stabbed him in the heart. Rakuda growled and charged at Hiei. He powered up an energy ball and threw it at Hiei. Hiei didn't have time to dodge. He flew backwards from the energy and landed near Kurama. He stood up and growled. Rakuda smirked. Hiei thought about how he could reach Rakuda without being hit again. He charged Rakuda, but Rakuda kept him away with his energy. He dodged the energy blasts and got closer to Rakuda. Rakuda stopped his attack and disappeared. Hiei stopped and looked around for Rakuda. He searched the room for Rakuda's ki. It was nowhere to be found. Rakuda reappeared and grabbed Hiei. He lifted him above his head. Hiei started kicking, and Rakuda lost his balance. He fell and released Hiei. Hiei fell on top of him. He jumped off Rakuda and ran to where Kurama was. He smirked as he powered up his black dragon wave. Rakuda and Nazo were shocked by his power. Rakuda charged at Hiei. He powered up an energy ball and threw it at Hiei. Hiei was to busy powering up the black dragon the dodge it. He stumbled and fell on Kurama. Rakuda laughed when he saw Hiei had powered down. He slowly began walking towards him. Hiei stumbled to his feet. He ran at Rakuda and jumped over him. Rakuda was confused, because Hiei left Kurama unguarded. He turned around and saw Hiei threatening Nazo. He growled. Hiei smirked. Nazo laughed as he kicked Hiei. Hiei dropped to the floor. He didn't expect Nazo to attack him. He slashed Nazo's legs. Nazo growled and fell to the floor. Hiei stood up. He was about to slit Nazo's throat when Rakuda grabbed him. Rakuda tightened his grip on Hiei. Hiei dropped his katana. Nazo glared at Hiei. "I want you to kill him, Rakuda." Rakuda nodded. He tightened his grip on Hiei even more. Hiei growled trying to ignore the pain. He kicked Rakuda and fell to the floor. Rakuda growled. Hiei rolled to the right as Rakuda tried to kick him. He jumped to his feet. He ran back over to Kurama, who was waking up. Kurama sat up wincing in pain. Hiei smirked. He began powering up his black dragon. Rakuda moved out of the way of the black dragon at the last second. Nazo was completely engulfed in flames. Hiei walked over and picked up his katana. He narrowed his eyes when he realized Rakuda was still alive. He turned around and saw him with Kurama. Rakuda smirked, "Now that I'm the only one left, I can kill him if I wish to." Hiei glared at him and disappeared. Rakuda was powering up an energy ball. He continued to power it up even after it was strong enough to kill all three of them. Hiei reappeared and sliced Rakuda's arms off. Rakuda screamed in pain and fell backwards. Hiei smirked as he brought the blade only inches away from Rakuda's heart. Rakuda glared up at Hiei. "Go on kill me. I dare you." Hiei laughed, "So you want to die now." He raised his katana over his head. Rakuda smirked as he jumped up and head butted Hiei. Hiei dropped his katana. It landed a few inches away from Kurama. He reached for it, but Rakuda stood on his hand. He winced as he tried to move his hand out from under Rakuda's foot. Rakuda put more weight on Kurama's hand. Kurama yelped in pain. Hiei powered up a fireball and threw it at Rakuda. Rakuda staggered and fell. Hiei powered up another fireball strong enough to kill him. He threw it. Rakuda screamed in pain as the fire began to burn him. Kurama inched slowly away from Rakuda's burning body. Hiei dropped to his knees. He used all of his spiritual energy. Kurama staggered to his feet almost falling down. He slowly walked over to Hiei. Hiei looked up at him. Kurama helped him to his feet. "Lets go," Hiei stated as he picked up his cloak. Kurama nodded, "Yes." He slowly began to walk followed by Hiei. They stepped outside of the castle, and began to walk away from it. Hiei turned around. "If I had any spirit energy left, I'd torch this place." Kurama laughed slightly, "You can always come back." Hiei glared at him, "I don't think so." He pulled the rose out of his cloak pocket. "Here this is yours." Kurama took the rose and put it in his hair. "Thank you." Hiei nodded and began walking. Kurama followed.
*******
Koenma laughed to himself. "They passed the test. I didn't think they would." The ogre looked at him confused. "Are you saying their whole mission was just a test?" "Of course it was a test. I wouldn't send only two of them to take on a demon who wanted to destroy all three worlds," Koenma replied. "But sir, what about the demons who ambushed Kurama?" asked the ogre. "They were also part of the test." "How did you get them to give up their lives?" "I told them to do as they pleased. If they wanted to, they could have killed Kurama and Hiei. At least that is what I said to them." "Sir, what was the test?" "I was testing their friendship. If they didn't have a good friendship, they wouldn't have been able to survive the missions."
*******
"Should we go tell Koenma the mission is over?" Kurama asked. "I don't see why. He probably already knows," Hiei stated. "True, but we should tell him anyway." "Fine, we'll go." Hiei opened a portal. "Come on." He stepped inside the portal followed by Kurama. They both stepped into Koenma's chamber. "Koenma, we finished the mission," Kurama said. "Yes, I already know. Good work you two," Koenma replied trying to keep from laughing. Hiei glared at him. "What is your problem?" Koenma calmed himself. "I don't have a problem." Hiei rolled his eyes. Kurama sighed and turned around to leave. "You're planning something or you've just finished your plan didn't you Koenma?" He opened the door and waited for a reply. "It's not important, now leave," Koenma ordered. Kurama walked out the door and Hiei followed. "I agree with you, Kurama. He planned something." "I just wish I knew what," Kurama sighed.
*******
Koenma sighed, "Now what can I do? I know, Yusuke and Kuwabara need to be tested." He began to laugh.

Since I forgot to do this at the beginning. Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho or any of its characters.
I'd just like to think all of you who have read this and reviewed. I really appreciate it. I hope everyone enjoyed this story. It was my very first fanfic. I'd also like to think my best friend Dragon Sword who inspired me to write it. Without her, this story would never have existed.
I'm not going to write a fanfic. where Yusuke and Kuwabara have to test their friendship. The reason being I'm busy writing two other stories, and I don't think I could write a story with just Yusuke and Kuwabara.
