Chap. 7 Psycho Fight

Hello I just wanted to quickly mention that my other fic Inuyasha Meets Yusuke now has ten chapters and is completed. *Puppy eyes* Please read it. Anyway here's more Keiko gone nuts, remember the POV is going to change a bit from Yusuke to Keiko, Watch out for these things ~~~~~ they'll tell you when it changes. Right now we're with Yusuke.

I didn't sleep the rest of the night or at any time that day. If only Keiko had known the truth. I might save her from some demon every other week but what she didn't know was that she also saved me. Every time I was ready to take that plunge, to just give up on the world around me, I'd look at her and realize that however rare it may be there are good people and things in the world worth fighting for. That was one of the main reasons I became a spirit detective.

If we all got out of this alive I'd have to try harder. Keiko may not be able to fight but I'd fight for her. We all would.

I arrived at the park an hour early, too restless to do anything else I threw stones at a nearby fountain. I wondered if anyone would notice the statue didn't have a nose anymore?

A while later the others showed up. They didn't say anything, there was just the same dramatic tension we always have before a fight.

Just then Kurama cleared his throat and looked at me. "What?"

"I've carefully analyzed Keiko's symptoms and I think I've found an antidote to what Muzan gave her. I brought some with me." He took a bottle full of something purple out of his pocket and handed it to me.

I stared at it for a second before taking it. I picked it up and put it in my pocket, "Thanks Kurama." He had no idea what this meant to me.

A cloud moved from in front of the moon and a ring of green light appeared on the ground.

"I believe we are expected to enter it," said Kurama.

I nodded and stepped inside, the others followed suit. Suddenly there were whirling winds all around us and it felt like we were being lifted into the air. It didn't last long and we soon found ourselves in a sort-of fighting ring. We seemed to be underground, strangely and there were torches lighting it up.

On the other side of the ring was Muzan who had an evil smirk on her mouth and she was soon joined by Keiko.

I gasped, I had never seen her look like this before, Keiko's hair was flying all over the place, though it couldn't mask her evil grin. She was still wearing her school uniform and from the looks of it she'd never be able to wear it to school again. It was covered in dirt and it had holes and rips all over it. If I hadn't known better I would have thought she'd escaped from an asylum.

"Now it begins," said Muzan.

"You're right about that," I said, "now it begins. YOUR FUNERAL!" I rushed at her, my fist ready, but she raised her arm and suddenly I was floating. She flicked her wrist and I plowed into the wall with several rocks falling on me.

"It's very rude to interrupt," said Muzan, obviously enjoying herself. "I thought before the fight I should warn you about..." We waited for her to continue but suddenly she was above us falling down. She pulled out a pouch and took some dust out of it which she threw all over us.

"What's going on?" yelled Kuwabara.

"I can't move!" said Hiei.

"Neither can I!" said Kurama.

I tried to move myself and was surprised to find I still could. The rocks that had landed on me must have protected me from the dust. It also seemed that Muzan didn't know. Maybe now I'd have a chance to give Keiko the potion. Just to be sure I waited a moment longer.

"Now that none of you can attack me I'll now drain you of all your spirit energy, and since I can't use it myself I'll put it into your beloved Keiko, my humble servant."

She went first to Kuwabara. She placed her hands in front of him, closed her eyes, and started chanting. Soon yellow light started radiating from him and formed a ball in her hands.

I shifted slightly to see what effect it was having on Kuwabara. Kurama noticed and whispered "Muzan is in a trance, she wont notice if you make Keiko take the potion now. Just be careful and hurry. I don't know how much longer Kuwabara will last."

I nodded and ran to Keiko.

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

I wished Muzan would hurry and defeat them so I could fight them. Suddenly I heard stomping feet. I looked up and gasped, it was a giant lollipop running at me!

For some reason that didn't seem to make sense. I squinted at the lollipop and noticed it had hair gel. It had to be a jolly rancher! I loved jolly ranchers! I ran up to it and started chewing on its head.

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

Why was she biting me? I didn't really know I just knew that it hurt. Temporarily forgetting who I was fighting I flung her to the ground.

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

I landed on the ground with a thump. So this wasn't a jolly rancher after all. It was Yusuke in a jolly rancher suit. A clever disguise but I would defeat him none the less.

I launched myself for another attack. I went at him from the air with my leg extended but before I made contact I dove under him, grabbed his foot and threw him into a wall.

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

Pain shot threw me. It was obvious that I was face someone much stronger than me. What was worse was that I couldn't even fight back in case I hurt her. I only had one chance. It was also obvious that her brain was still really messed up. A plan began to form in my mind.

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

Yusuke was struggling to get up so I decided to move in for the kill, how dare he pretend to be a lollipop!

Just then he pulled out a bottle full of something purple. "If you promise not to kill me right away I'll let you have this bottle of liquid candy," he said a little nervously.

I took it and sniffed it suspiciously, "Is it watermelon flavored?"

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

"Um..... yeah!" I said. Anything to make her drink it.

She looked at the drink a little longer and then threw it to the ground where I barely managed to catch it.

"I HATE WATERMELONS!" she yelled.

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

A sweatdrop rolled down Yusuke's face. Oh how I loved him. I'd have to kill him extra slowly so that I could remember his last moments of life clearly.

"Yusuke," I said, "before you die could I kiss you one last time?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I sweatdroped again, my girlfriend wanted to kiss me one last time before she brutally murdered me. If that wasn't irony I don't know what is. Suddenly I got an idea.

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

He nodded so I leaned forward and closed my eyes. Nothing happened for a bit so I opened one eye. He wasn't even looking at me!

"YUSUKE!" I yelled. He turned around and smiled. He brought his lips to mine and they parted. Just then I felt something pour into my mouth. He had tricked me! He was making me drink the watermelon!

I pushed him away and was about to spit it out when I relaxed that it was really grape flavored. I loved grape! I swallowed it graciously, savoring the taste as I slipped into unconsciousness.

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

I caught Keiko as she fell and laid her on the ground. Then I turned around. "Well Muzan," I said coldly, "it seems I have a bone to pick with you." With that I carefully aimed my spirit gun...

Finally! I thought I'd never get this chapter done! You may have noticed I'm scraping it kind of close to my deadline of 6/28. I'll have one day to write the last chapter but it should be pretty short. I know I said this wasn't going to be a romance but I suppose this chapter sort of makes it one. What can I say? I was in that kind of mood. Now then I'll have the next chapter up tomorrow. Please read and review quickly! I want to read them!
