*Anemone's room, listening to Type O Negative's "I don't wanna be me"...Hiei's taking a nap on the tree limb outside, the window wide open...Kurama's playing chinese checkers against Anemone...Anemone notices readers first*
Anemone: YAY! COMPANY!
Hiei: *jerks awake and falls out of the tree...voice faint* AHHHH!!!! *thump*
Kurama: *rushing to window, leans out, his back turned to the readers* Hiei?! Are you okay?!
Hiei: *voice faint, not in view...sounds pissed off* I am gonna get that little...!
Anemone: *ignoring the boys* how are y'all? hmm let's take a look at how I left off...*re-reads last few paragraphs* oo! this chapter'll be a doozy...
Kurama: *still leaning out the window* Hiei...? Where are you going...? *points in opposite direction* Anemone's front door is THAT way...
Hiei: I want my friggen nap! I'm going to the park...
Kurama: *leans back in the room, turns to Anemone* Hiei's going to the park to finish his nap...
Anemone: okey dokey...he'll come back...eventually...
Kurama: *glance to the window* indeed *more to himself* ...hopefully without his Katana...
Anemone: what was that?
Kurama: -nothing! Er...right, chapter 23-
Anemone: I'm not done yet!
Kurama: oh...sorry...indeed, continue then.
Anemone: okay...now, in the last chappie, it would seem Kurama was beaten *gasp*! Well, we'll just have to fix that, now, won't we? Fox!
Kurama: yes?
Anemone: say your line, Fox, dear.
Kurama: indeed...chapter 23, enjoy.
(a/n: just so you can picture it...Kurama's wearing khaki pants, a light-teal button-up with the sleeves rolled up, and his usual shoes...shirt's tucked in, and besides the blood and sweat he looks pretty neat...Hiei, Kuwabara, Yusuke, Keiko and Yukina are wearing the usual.)
Chapter 23: A Desperate Situation
"Oh my God..." Yusuke stuttered after his blowout...Kurama collapsed to the cavern floor, his form jerking slightly on impact. Blood spurt in thick clots from the humanoid's gashed chest, heavy snarls of winces tightening Kurama's features. The instant the arrow had hit him, his rose slipped from his tender grip, and had collapsed to some far point of the cavern floor.
Keiko pressed a step towards the wounded fox, when Kurama threw a vicious gaze behind him. "Stay back!" he growled for all the group to note. Keiko froze, shock tinting her worried face. "This is MY fight...no one may interfere..."
Kurama then wailed a soft moan, a sharp wince taking over and distorting his expression. The arrow had forced deep into his chest, and with each pulse the arrow tip threatened to prick into his heart it was that far in. Curling his leg beneath his form, the fox forced himself to a wavering stand, glaring brilliantly emerald daggers at his older brother. He instantly gripped the lethal weapon, jerking it violently from his flesh...blood sprayed slightly from the forceful tug, staining deep into the fibers of his teal button-up. Not another wince tainted his face at the jerk, and the fox immediately cracked the wooden weapon in his gnarled grip, his knuckles whitened for a brief moment as the wood splintered to pieces to the cavern floor.
"Nice try, Ryooki..." Kurama snarled in an uncharacteristically low tone. His voice was husked and deep in a seething anger. "...but, I am afraid that you didn't put enough energy into the shot...thusly, it caused the arrow to stop just before pricking into my heart...that wasn't as clear a shot as you thought."
"Yes! Haha!" Yusuke cheered in massive relief. 'I had a feeling Kurama was too hard-core to fall that early in the fight!'
"Hn," Hiei grunted as his lips tugged to a smirk. "Kitsune's almost too convincing." he then fazed himself into his thoughts. 'arrows...I see...this Ryooki character was the one to attack Botan and Keiko at the fire-escape...all those clues point straight to an archer's weaponry...hn...their father must have been far too lazy to do so themselves...but, Ryooki wasn't the one in the alleyway that I had managed to glimpse...perhaps the wolf went along to ensure the attack was well-done...and I suppose speed that surpasses mine must run in the family, if I couldn't catch Ryooki.'
"Well, Yoko," Ryooki growled in response. He slowly bowed in stance, preparing for a shot. With his keen emerald eyes level with Kurama's, he allowed one passing second before releasing the quivering arrow. "It would seem I need to sharpen my gaze..." with that last breath, he let the smooth wooden piece of weaponry zip from his pinch and stab the air for the gap between Kurama's dagger eyes. The humanoid fox instantly grunted a low breath as he jerked for the side, the arrow whizzing past his temple.
Kuwabara and the girls beamed at their friend's agility...but the Detective and the Dragon were hesitant to believe it was that simple to dodge.
'Hn...' Hiei thought curiously to himself. 'that can't be the limit of Ryooki's archery...it's too simple to escape...Kurama must know something is wrong here.'
Kurama indeed did know...he remembered well Ryooki's ability with arrows. 'I must listen carefully...let my hearing catch it's sound before it's-'
His thoughts were cut short as he pricked in slight dread...the sound seemed to swell in his sensitive ears...he whipped around just in time for the arrow shot just before to zoomed past, engulfed in a flaming blue aura and grazing his temple. He was jerked back slightly, blood instantly breaking loose from the newest wound painted down the side of his forehead. A stinging sensation burned deep in the bowells of the new gash, Kurama losing balance for a moment. But the haziness was quick-passing, as the brilliant fox quickly regained himself with a negative glare about his face.
'Dammit! I almost forgot about Ryooki's main attack...he can feed his arrows with Spirit Energy...and I can't defend myself, I lost my rose...it's somewhere in the darkness...hmm...if I attempt a rush at it, he'll no doubt catch me...oh!' Kurama scolded himself and his failing clutch upon his weapon. 'wait! I think I've one more...' before the fox could stroke his sprawled palm into his bushy mane, another attack of glowing arrows snapped into the darkness of the damp cavern, stinging for Kurama's flesh. The athletic fox, however, instantly kicked into a graceful flip, whirling in the air and avoiding every shot...until, Ryooki decided to aim a full dozen at once.
The foe pulsed briefly as a spurt of Spirit Energy seeped into each arrow, each weapon glowing in it's own violently blue aura.
"Oh shit..." Yusuke breathed faintly at the sight. Kurama growled slightly, his eyes keen with a glowing rage that stung deep within him.
"Hell's Dozen!" Ryooki wailed. The shimmering arrows shot straight for Kurama, the fox standing firm.
"Kurama! Move!" Kuwabara wailed at the frozen Kitsune, Kurama refusing to take a step aside as the dozen stung the air straight for lethal targets.
'Wait for it...' Kurama ordered himself as the arrows zipped directly for his heart, burning in Spirit Energy. 'now!' his thoughts stung to himself. The fox kicked off in a high flip, his acrobatics assisting him very much so. His forceful jump led him to press against the ceiling, the fox jerking downwards head-first. He instantly tucked himself in a round manner, releasing his grip to his legs as he regained an upright position in the air.
"Yeah!" Kuwabara cheered happily, Yukina and Keiko each releasing soft sighs as relieved beams graced their faces. "Way to go, Kurama!"
But the fox was fully aware that wasn't the extent of the danger. 'Where are they?' he thought sternly, his expression proving his blatant doubt that was the end. Suddenly, the entire group pricked in fear at the sight. The arrows had snapped violently from their straight shots, stinging the air in unnatural directions. Kurama remembered this well, and whipped fiercely in his fall to the ground, his form jerking in strange positions to avoid the touch of each flaming weapon.
Eleven dodged with the grace that only Kurama could possess, each of those eleven plowing into the cavern floor and crumbling into the rock on impact. The Spirit Energy soaked into each diminished as it was absorbed into the air. But while the others of the Urimeshi team seemed relieved and upbeat, only Hiei and Kurama remembered...a twelth arrow.
"Kistune!" Hiei called faintly into the vast cavern, each of the group pricking at the fearful tone in his voice. Kurama managed to just cast his eyes over his shoulder, a scared glare staining them, as the last of the arrows stung against the darkness with an aura that vastly surpassed those of the others. Complete dread tinted his expression firm, as his skin was pierced through with a viciously burning arrow. A soft wail of sheer pain escaped his tattered form as the new arrow dug deep into his spine, blood spraying loose in unnaturally vivid ways. His expression lacked all but one emotion...pure pain. He had managed to hide it when that first arrow attacked, and had somehow remained conscious after that graze to the head, but now he couldn't contain himself any longer...pure agony singed in the deepest point of his deadly wounds, each of those three being lethal if he weren't careful.
Kurama collapsed to the cavern floor, landing half-gracefully on hands and one knee, stuttering in wails of pain. Sweat beaded heavily at his temple, and slipped smoothly into the deep gash at the one side. The weapon's aura slowly dimmed as the pain seeped deep into the new wound, this one deadlier than the two before.
'He's usually quicker than that...' Hiei thought faintly to himself. 'A lot quicker...losing all that Spirit Energy to the Detective must have dimmed his reflexes slightly...come on, Kistune! This would be one of those times to miraculously figure out a way around death!'
Suddenly, Kurama shot a look of pure hatred before him...though it was pointed to the controlled Ryooki, Kurama really saw his wolf demon father. And what Hiei managed to catch in the sight of Kurama's eyes surprised and nearly scared him. They had for the briefest of miliseconds flashed golden, and dimmed back to stark emerald before anyone besides the dragon could detect. Hiei pricked at the view. 'My God...he's fighting with himself...' the flame demon blinked shocked crimson leers for the ruby strung about his friend's neck...it glowed in vicious facets of the purest scarlet, dimming and brightening with every strained pulse of Kurama's heart. 'he's trying not to transform into Yoko Kurama until his fight with his father...but, is that truly wise?'
"Grapko...!" Kurama's voice seethed lowly, chaffed slightly from the force...almost the exact pitch to match that of...Yoko. Hiei then pricked in total fear, and an expression like no other that caught the complete attention of Yusuke.
"Who's Grapko?" Yusuke asked faintly to the dragon. Hiei barely muttered the answer.
"Grapko...he's the Kitsune's father..." the dragon responded softly, a wash of memories swarming over him again at the sound and taste of the name.
"That's the wolf's name?" Kuwabara inquired softly. "...why did he call Ryooki that...?"
"Because Kurama is lost in himself," Hiei answered with a blank expression of pure shock. "He's trying desperately not to allow that gem to change him into his Yoko form...not yet...but, the pain of both that arrow lodged in his back and the pain of trying to resist that ruby are dimming him of his sense...he's going insane."

Anemone: hey there! Yeah, this chappie's done...suspenseful, ain't it?
Kurama: er...do I really have to go, insane, Mones?
Anemone: yes.
Kurama: but why?!
Anemone: it keeps me in business putting stuff like that in! But don't worry...I think people would be mad if I made it permanent.
Kurama: oh...so, I'm not going to go insane?
Anemone: yes you are...
Kurama: but-
Anemone: -don't bother, Fox, I've made up my mind. Flames! *long pause* Flames...?
Kurama: he's still at the park.
Anemone: what?! It's been like two hours!
Kurama: he takes long naps...
Anemone: dammit...I need him to say his line...
Kurama: ...why...?
Anemone: because! I have to establish it as an official thing.
Kurama: it's not a big deal, Mones...*turns to readers, about to say line* anywh- *gets tugged violently to the side by his collar by Anemone, a really funny expression of shock on his face*
Anemone: no! You can't say it...
Kurama: why not?!
Anemone: it's Hiei's line!
Kurama: *sigh, rubs eyes in annoyance...she's still clutching his collar* Mones...
Anemone: to the park!
Kurama: wait what-?! *gets jerked out the door by his collar*
*on the way to the park*
Kurama: can you let go of my collar...?
Anemone: no! Keep moving...*jerks Kurama along*
*at the park*
Anemone: okay, Fox...sniff him out.
Kurama: *groan* must I...?
Anemone: yes!!
Kurama: sheesh, okay, okay...*heavy sigh, deep breath* that way...
Anemone: come on! *drags him by collar...walks to a tree, soft snoring heard from above...kicks tree*
Hiei: *jerks awake, tree wobbling slightly* ahh!
Anemone: Flames!
Hiei: *groan* oh my God...
Anemone: Flames dear, I need you to say your line!
Hiei: what?!
Anemone: say your line, dammit!
Hiei: THAT'S why you woke me up?!
Kurama: she dragged me down here by my COLLAR for that!
Hiei: she's a friggen loon! We shouldn't hang out with her...
Anemone: *kicking tree* SAY *kick* YOUR *kick* FRIGGEN *kick* LINE!
Hiei: *wobble* NO! *wobble* NO! *wobble* NO!!
Anemone: UGH! *continues kicking tree...Kurama slips from his shirt and sneaks towards the readers*
Kurama: *whisper, shooing them away* go! Review! We can handle her...just run, while you still can!
Hiei: KITSUNE! OH MY GOD HELP ME! *Kurama sneaks up behind Anemone, pinches her in a certain spot at the back of her neck, and she passes out*
Kurama: *picking her up to carry home* okay, Hiei...all dealt with.
Hiei: thank GOD...she nearly knocked over the tree, Kistune!
Kurama: right...I suggest you go into hiding for a few days...*starts walking away* bye Hiei. *turns to readers* remember to review. Farewell.
Anemone: YAY! COMPANY!
Hiei: *jerks awake and falls out of the tree...voice faint* AHHHH!!!! *thump*
Kurama: *rushing to window, leans out, his back turned to the readers* Hiei?! Are you okay?!
Hiei: *voice faint, not in view...sounds pissed off* I am gonna get that little...!
