Hiei tensed as he watched the scene. Should he act now? No...Kurama
wouldn't want him to. He suddenly regretted not killing the bitch when he
had a chance. Kionji had Kurama suspended in air by her evil substance and
he had to fight the urge not to jump in and slit the whore's throat.
Kurama quickly jerked his head to the side. It drove him mad when she touched him. He couldn't stand it. "Don't turn away from me Kurama, I know you want me." She let one hand rest on his chest while the other roamed free traveling down his chest to his waistline. If Kurama could have bit her she'd be a few fingers short right about now. How dare she touch him!
"Kurama...mind if I step in or does the idea of molestation excite you?" Hiei sneered, his eyes narrowing. It didn't look like this battle was going anywhere anytime soon. And besides, the thought of anyone touching Kurama disturbed him, greatly.
Kionji stifled a laugh. "You beat me? But you're still hurt! You wouldn't even be a challenge to me." All she would have to do would be to finish Hiei off. "You're not even worth my time. After I deliver you two all I have to do is take care of at pathetic human family of yours and I'll be rich. Of course after you're gone I'll take care of your things Kurama."
Kurama's eyes widened. Did he just hear what he thought he heard? "What do you mean? I was told my family was to be unharmed!" Koenma and Yusuke wouldn't lie to him...they wouldn't, never!
"That may be so...but I find it unfair that you let another woman touch you, so they all will die." Kionji replied rubbing her nails against her shirt. She held them up to the light inspecting them as if there wasn't a care in the world.
Hiei clenched his fists at his side his youki flaring. This bitch had to be stopped, and if he had to do it then he would. "Killing his family with do you no good seeing as you'll be dead before you can do it." He walked in slow paces a smirk forming on his face. He'd been waiting for this. With the perfect finishing move in mind he faced her but stopped. There was something wrong...His eyes traveled over to Kurama.
The foxes face was shadowed from view, but even from the distance he was standing Hiei could still see the crystal like tears streaking their way down his face. He was shaking now but whether from anger or from sorrow it was unknown. Kionji watched with interest, happy to know she hit a tender spot. A deafening howl erupted from the redhead as he fought against his bindings. A strong gust of wind followed and soon the area was swimming with his scent, a different scent.
Hiei backed up and rushed over to Yukina's body to protect it from flying debris. Hiei knew that particular youki very well. It wasn't at full strength but he figured that Kurama wouldn't want himself at full strength. It would only be wasted energy.
Kurama threw his head back in a low moan. It hurt so much...but he had to control it...hold it in...build it up. A full transformation was not needed to kill her he needed just enough to make sure she could never bother his family again. Another jolt of pain racked his body making him wince. That was it! There! Once his level was achieved he released the youki making sure to keep in check the rest he was holding back. His body shook fiercely and he let out another groan, his hair becoming streaked with silver. Flexing his hands he smirked as he watched his claws grow out before cutting through his bindings. He landed on his knees, his head down.
Kionji stepped back a little, he cut through her bindings...not many could do that. It was something she was famous for! Her binding of blood attack was created from remains of demons. Blood, body and all are absorbed into the earth to create this attack. She trembled a little as he turned his gaze upward. His eyes were a haunting yellow...so cold. She'd seen that look many times before but never had they been directed towards her. "You...you stay away from me!" She directed her hands towards him as he stood up. The blood sped towards him in a spear like shape and she hoped like hell it would hit.
Kurama frowned, gracefully turning to the side to avoid the attack before slicing it in half. "If you think your petty attacks will keep you safe then you're sadly mistaken." He muttered. He could smell her fear...so thick. It pleased him to know that she trembled before him. Who was laughing now?
Hiei looked down at his sister, brushing fallen twigs from her pale face. He had been wrong to doubt the fox. But he couldn't help it. Kurama was too kind hearted for his own and someday it would be his undoing. "Maybe if you strip for her she die from shock, kill her already!"
Kionji narrowed her eyes at the little fire demon for a moment as Kurama started advancing towards her. This surely wouldn't end well but she refused to go out like this. "Bindings of blood, I summon you!" she thundered, raising her hands to the sky.
The ground beneath them became black and Kurama looked down at it, startled. Hiei quickly leaped into the nearest tree, Yukina's body clutched tightly to his chest. Kurama quickly try to jump away but failed as it substance followed him into the air, swallowing him whole. Kionji's hands lowered followed by the substance and she let out a sigh. That was too close for comfort, but then her eyes fell on ruby red ones...she had a feeling that he wouldn't be as kind as Kurama...
*~*~*~*~*~*~
Botan wraped the bandage around Kurama's arm and pulled it tight, causing the redhead to howl in pain. "Oh shut up." She spat. After the day's events both boys ended up equally wounded. Yusuke was covered from her to toe in bandages thanks to the wounds received from the rose whip and Kurama modeled several burns and scratches from Yusuke's spirit gun.
"But it hurts! You could at least be gentle." Kurama complained. He rubbed the spot tenderly, a pout on his face. Botan couldn't help but grin. He could be so cute at times.
Yusuke crossed his arms over his chest and frowned. "Over get over it, he's taken." He grumbled.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Botan answered with a shrug.
"I pout and you tell me to stop being such a baby but fox boy over her pouts and you melt like putty!" Yusuke pointed in their direction. "Koenma not good enough for you? You gotta have a little fox in your daily diet of men?" he threw a smirk her way upon seeing a blush crawl onto her face.
"Shut up! Really Yusuke, you're so childish. To think that, that's just wrong." She finished up her bandages and smiled as he got up to leave. Yusuke had some nerve! Accusing her of liking Kurama, that was last year anyway, plus Koenma was better. He made her sound like a whore! So was if Kurama looked nice...really nice...ok, very. She shook her head free of her thoughts and turned to glare at Yusuke. "I know you're not talking, you'd probably grope anything with breast and an ass."
Yusuke frowned. "Except you...that would be like touching my mother." He shuddered at the thought.
A loud smack was heard as Botan's oar suddenly collided with the youth's head. "I can't believe you! You rude, smart mouthed, egotistical, jackass!" She swung her oar violently, threatening to bring it down for another hit! Kurama cringed at the sight. She could be quite scary at times. It was a side that he never wanted to get on. "I have you know that many find me very attractive!" Kurama shrugged at that one, she was alright but...ok, no comment.
Yusuke sat up rubbing his head. That would leave a mark in the morning. Damn she was almost as bad as Keiko! "Yeah...the men down the street at the nursing home!" he muttered sarcastically, dodging another blow from the bubbling blue haired goddess of death. "Watch it ugly.
Botan's face seemed to darken suddenly and Yusuke shrunk back. If it was one thing that scared him about females it had to be a woman's fury. It had enough terror to equal the horror of all the seven gates of hell. "What did you call me?"
Yusuke gulped and attempted to back away. "Um...ugly...?" he managed to squeak after a while. Bad move.
"That's it Yusuke!!" she screeched. Where her sudden burst of energy came from he'd never know, but he did know one thing. He didn't want to find out what would happen if she ever caught him. He ducked as she swung out at him again. He could have sworn he saw fire in her eyes...scary. Kurama doubled over with laughter, if this was how things were around here then he couldn't wait till the next day!
*~*~*~*~*~
Hiei glared down at the demon before him. She was scared...very. He would take joy in taking her life. He would show no mercy, unlike the fox. He leapt down from his perch, making sure that Yukina's body was safe on the branch before jumping from it.
Kionji on the other hand refused to let his descend come easily, she summoned her bindings of blood attack again this time making it sneak up on Hiei before he touched the ground. He was speared through the shoulder then pined down, much to his dismay. "Dishonorable bitch! Fight me own your own!"
Kionji snorted and waved him off. "Yeah, like I'd ever do that..." she answered sarcastically. Who did he take her for? She wasn't that idiot Kurama...that soft hearted fool. She spoke to soon because as soon as she did Kurama's bubble exploded with a brilliant light. "Damn it! Why can't he stay dead?!" Hiei watched the sight with amazement. What an entrance...show off.
The light subsided leaving Kurama standing unharmed. In his hands he held a silver rose whip. Koenma had given it to him in hopes that it would stop Hiei from stealing the Reikai treasures again, but Kurama never had the heart to use it. That wasn't the case now. He narrowed his eyes at her. He now wished that he remember its presence earlier, it would have saved a lot of trouble. "You'll pay..." he hissed, the whip crackled menacingly. What made the whip powerful was that it absorbed the owner's youki and turned it into powerful electricity. Kurama loved it.
Kionji smirked. "Oh...that's a pretty toy you've got there. Kurama...you gonna hit me with it?" She watched with amusement as his grip tightened around the whip. "You wouldn't hit a girl would you?"
"Damn it! Kill her! Kill her!" Hiei growled through clenched teeth. He had a feeling something bad was going to happen, Kurama's youki was rising. He could only hold in so much without killing himself...he would end up having to release it sometime...and when he did he'd use the whip. But that could cause a...a...oh shit!
"He wouldn't harm me." She sneered. "Being around those smutty humans for so long has weakened him. That bitch of a mother being the main one. She has tainted his mind..."
Those yellow eyes snapped in her direction upon hearing talk about Shiori, his mother. Weak? So he was weak now? We'll see who's weak!
"Die!" with a small flick of his wrist Kurama sent the whip forward, watching as it flew towards her breaking the ground beneath as it over it only to wrap tightly around Kionji's neck. "How does it feel...to know you're about to die?" he asked nonchalantly.
Kionji struggled to remove the bindings, her eyes big. "Ku...Kurama, please. Don't hurt me...you know I never meant to..." Kurama silenced her by cracking the whip, feeding it more energy in the process.
It would all be over soon, but there was still something that bothered him. It was Kurama...what if he...died? Her power diminishing, Hiei quickly freed himself from his bindings and retrieved Yukina's body. He turned back to say something, anything, words of encouragement, an insult, but found nothing so nodded instead and rushed to safety just as a bright light from the battlefield filled the sky.
Meanwhile thousands of miles away in the human world, a perfectly healthy looking redheaded, emerald-eyed boy collapse abruptly in the middle of a grassy field...
Kurama quickly jerked his head to the side. It drove him mad when she touched him. He couldn't stand it. "Don't turn away from me Kurama, I know you want me." She let one hand rest on his chest while the other roamed free traveling down his chest to his waistline. If Kurama could have bit her she'd be a few fingers short right about now.
