A/N: Hmmm... I'm thinking about the possibility of a sequel to this (it would all be included into this story, not a separate story). What do y'all think? Maybe they'll go to Hogwarts or maybe... ::eyes light up:: heh. I just had a great idea. hehe and now you'll have to wait and find out...
Oh yeah, ~*~*~*~ indicates a shift of scene, such as switching from what Hiei is seeing, to what Kurama is seeing.
New Moon- Thanks.
Lakante- I'll try
Sapphire_lily- IM SOOOOOO HAPPY THAT ThEY PUT IT BACK ON!!! YAH!! ::coughs:: Sorry about the cliffhangers, but I do update every day so...
Kaoru- lol. Hmm... perhaps you should look up a rehab center... ;)
bad girl 2.0- well, here's the next chapter, and I'll try and email you later. You have a friend that's obsessed with this fic...? ::eyes fall out::
Yami- It was a joke. Demons seem to have this thing where they enjoy killing (*coughdarktournamentcough*) and Hiei was simply refering to that. I honestly didn't have a sport in mind.
Cloud Dragon- Woah... take it easy. Here's the next chapter.
Amethyst Bubble- Lol. Yes, Hiei, you sick minded freak.
Neko- Here's the next chapter. Yeah the R/H, it was more or less that I couldn't resist having someone make a comment like that, and Harry doesn't seem like the type to do it.
Chaos Kid- Yep yep.
Maruken- Well, I certainly hope they put the second series on CN. They may not be able to do it during Toonami, but maybe they'll put in Adult Swim, like Inuyasha. ::shrugs:: Now THAT certainly is interesting, though I honestly can't picture Yusuke as a king ::amuses self with a mental picture of Yusuke wearing a crown and cape, dressed up like Henry the VIII.:: but he'd better not ditch Keiko. If you're looking for an email address, you can get a free one through Yahoo or Netscape (which is where I get mine from). Bows and arrows are cool!
lilobgirl- that's awesome. really. thank you!!!
Chapter 7: The Battle Begins.
As soon as the sun had sunk completely beyond the horizon, the army of Aurors attacked. Once they left the forest behind, Voldemort's demons charged. It was a horrific sight, but Hiei quickly realized he underestimated the Aurors. They separated into squads and spread out, destroying anything in their path. The Reikai Tantei was proving to be a big help. Lupin and Snape's groups managed to get themselves cornered by a never ending group of small hooded demons with fangs (A/N: think of the demons Kurama and Hiei save Yusuke and Kuwabara from before they get into the castle of the four saint beats [Maze Castle?].) and Yusuke took care of them with a well aimed Shotgun.
Only Hiei managed to make it all the way up to the castle it self. He paused for only a moment at the door, wondering if he should turn and help his friends. Something inside him, however, forced him to continue forward. He entered the castle and closed the door behind him.
~*~*~*~*~
Kurama saw Hiei close the door of the castle behind him and returned to the problem at hand. Demons and Deatheaters were coming from ever direction imaginable. Kurama had dealt with close to thirty with his rosewhip, Kuwabara was slashing away with his sword like a madman, and Yusuke only had one shot left with his spirit gun. At least they were making a dent in the opponent's army.
'Please hurry, Hiei...' Kurama thought.
The situation was, indeed, looking bleak.
~*~*~*~*~
Hiei stalked the corridors. There were no guards, which Hiei found extraordinarily odd. He stopped, frowning at the wall. This corridor seemed awfully familiar, and there were so many doors that he could not remember which ones led where. He needed to find a way to get to the master room, were Voldemort was no doubt watching the chaos unfold below. Closing his eyes, he forced himself to remember exactly how he had gotten to Voldemort's chamber before. 'Ok,' he thought, 'I remember being here last time. Second door to the left leads to a ball room that is an offshoot of the main throne room. Bingo. Ahh... I didn't just think that, did I? Wow, a very Botan-ish moment.'
He opened the door and entered the dusty and ancient room. And waiting for him in the center of the room was...
(A/N: Aren't I horrible? Wait, don't answer that. -_-;)
~*~*~*~*~
Half of the Aurors had died, and many more were wounded. But, as Yusuke had pointed out, they weren't the only ones with depleted forces. The seemingly endless army of little hooded things with fangs and zombie humans had, for the most part, stopped. There were a few stragglers of course. But, Kurama knew the battle was far from over. The most dangerous members of Voldemort's armada, the Deatheaters, had most of their members alive and well. They were firing off spells every which way and Kurama found himself hit with the Crucitus curse. He fell too the ground in agony, knowing full well that the Deatheaters were closing in on him.
But suddenly, the pain stopped. Completely. Kurama's head jerked up as he heard an awfully familiar voice, "Thought ye could use a lit'l 'elp thar, laddie. Ah 'ope ye dun' mind. Oy, U-RE-ME-SHI! Ah found ye fox friend!"
That voice could only belong to one person.
Jin.
~*~*~*~*~
..Touguro.
"Ok, wait a minute. You're dead."
Touguro gave that annoying half smirk of his. "Was dead. Your sister helped me come back, so now I can kill you."
Hiei said nothing. He was too confused.
"Now then..." He transformed, using 75% of his power. Then he lunged.
Hiei had to use all of his speed to avoid being hit by the large Touguro. He managed to dodge blow after blow, but he knew if he concentrated all of his energy into defense, he would never be able to attack. He let his defense drop only a little, but even that little amount cost him dearly. Touguro landed a punch to his stomach, knocking him off his feet and winding him.
Hiei staggered to his feet, pulled off his headband, held out his right hand, and whispered, "Dragon of the Darkness Flame! (A/N: I think that's what its called anyway)"
~*~*~*~*~
"Jin?" Kurama managed to stand up, and leaned against a tree.
"Aye, ah was jest passin' through an' it looked like ye were 'avin' a few problems. Ye want some 'elp dealin' with these masked buggers thar?"
Kurama nodded gratefully and Jin's face broke into a grin, "Alright then! Hold on te ye hair, laddies, cause 'ere we go!" and with that he summoned a wind storm that blew most of the Deatheaters off their feet and slammed them against the castle, giving the Aurors a chance to recover and attack again, this time with a vengeance.
Yusuke raced over and grinned at Kurama. "You alright?"
"Yes..."
"Have you seen Dumbledore? I need to speak with him."
Kurama scanned the battle field, but the ancient wizard was no where to be found.
~*~*~*~*~
Touguro wasn't expecting this. He had seen the attack several times before, so he knew it was possible for Hiei to use it, but he was positive that Hiei didn't have the spirit energy left to control the dragon. Unless...
Hiei knew that he was more than likely not going to make it out of this battle alive. Most of his energy was spent on defense, and he wasn't sure he had the energy required to control the fearsome dragon.
The dragon flew forward and incinerated Touguro, leaving a small pile of ashes in its wake. And then it turned on its master.
~*~*~*~*~
The Deatheaters were finally dealt with. Most of them had died, but many now lay on the ground, stunned, bound, and gagged, awaiting trial. Kurama searched the battlefield praying his friends had all made it out safely. In the last Deatheater attack they had become separated. Kurama found Yusuke and Jin attending the wounded with Lupin. Of the five squad leaders, three were alive, one was dead, and one was MIA. Moody had fallen in the very first assault, and Dumbledore was no where to be found.
Kurama found Kuwabara helping tie up stunned Deatheaters. He was proving to be a very big help; he could hog-tie any Deatheater in under four seconds flat. However, Kurama could tell his mind was anywhere but on his task. He was approached the orange haired boy and said softly, "How are you doing?"
"Huh? Oh...gomen, my mind was somewhere else. I haven't seen the shrimp recently, have you?"
"No, but I do know where he is. He entered the castle at the beginning of the battle."
"Man, that castle gives me the creeps. I hope he's alright."
~*~*~*~*~
For once in his life, Hiei felt the immense fear that the victims of his dragon always had right before they died.
'Well,' he thought. 'This is it. I'm sorry I failed you, Kitsune. Perhaps I'll be seeing you soon, Yukina. No, I won't. They don't let felons and murderers enter Heaven...'
He closed his eyes, not wanting to see death rush towards him....
....but it never came.
He opened his eyes to find the dragon gone. Dumbledore was standing at the entrance of the hall. He smiled, "I banished the dragon for you. Shall we confront Voldemort together?"
Hiei nodded and together they opened the door to Voldemort's Chamber.
A/N: ::snickers:: Another cliffy! Hehehe... But don't you worry, I have been up dating everyday, so tune in tomorrow the next exciting adventure of Yu Yu Hakusho! Omg that was the corniest thing I have EVER written... -_-;;
Oh yeah, ~*~*~*~ indicates a shift of scene, such as switching from what Hiei is seeing, to what Kurama is seeing.
