Chapter 15
The Final Showdown
~*~*~*
The sky was dark, but the moon hadn't risen yet. It was still only twilight. Onimaho's eyes shone with maliciousness.
"Well what are you waiting for Echo? Attack me. There is no way you can win. I know your attacks, but you are clueless as to what mine are. I have too much of an advantage."
'No,' Echo thought, 'he hasn't seen all of my attacks.' She smirked realizing he didn't know what he thought he did.
"Why are you smiling? Do you realize death surely awaits you and are accepting it?"
"Shut up you moron."
Just then Echo heard her name being called. She looked over to see her friends and cousins walking towards them. A giant see-through wall shot up right in front of them keeping them from getting any closer to the two who were about to fight. This saddened Echo, but she knew that she was the only one who could fight Onimaho. While she thought he was distracted, she got out her whip and went in for an attack.
'She's fast,' thought Onimaho, 'but she won't win.'
He got out of the way and grabbed her hair from behind. She was moving too fast so she kept going, but a lock of hair didn't.
"Ow ow ow ow!" she said, rubbing the back of her head. She looked angrily at Onimaho.
"That was a foul and dirty move Onimaho!" She angrily went in for an attack and managed to slash his leg with her whip as he dodged. This didn't seem to phase him, for he quickly dealt her a blow to the head using his fist. She landed on the ground. Unlike most fights where they don't hit a fighter who is down, Onimaho did. He kicked her in the stomach and she flew into the air, her arms limp at her sides. He continued to beat her up for a while.
"What is that around your neck?" he asked. Echo, who was lying on the ground, looked at her necklace. It was glowing.
"The deva necklace is glowing," said Kurama. "It's powers might awaken now."
Hiei looked at the moon. He couldn't find it. Then he saw a part of the sky where there were no stars. It should have been a full moon that night. The spot with no stars looked exactly the size and shape of the moon. The moon was black.
"When the moon dies..." he said. He understood. Black meant death. A dying moon is a black moon. The deva necklace's power would arise.
The deva gem started glowing brighter and brighter. Echo rose into the air, and she started glowing also. Her wounds magically healed and the poison from the demon left her body. She felt herself become stronger. Now she knew she could win this fight. She sank back down to the ground and started to move her arms in a mysterious way.
"I... I can't move!," said Onimaho. He used his spirit energy and made ice shoot from his body at Echo. She had to move. Her movement broke the spell, but she would be able to use it again.
"What just happened? What did she do?" asked Kuwabara.
"Heh... you will see later. That is one of the moves she will use to end this fight," said Hiei.
"You should know better by now not to expect a straight answer from Hiei," said Yusuke, who was trying to punch through the wall.
"Hey Botan... what else is there about the deva necklace? I can't remember all of what Koenma told us. What exactly can it do?" asked Yusuke.
"Well... It boosts the wearer's strength when the moon is black and it has healing powers. That much you most likely already know from the fight. It is also able to consume the souls of evil beings."
Onimaho was scared. What was she about to do? Why couldn't he move? If he had let her go on any longer he might not have been able to stop her. He wouldn't admit it even to himself, but he really was scared.
"Give me that necklace."
"No way! You can't touch it anyway."
"I said give it to me! NOW!" He charged at Echo. She dodged him like a bullfighter dodging a bull.
He got close enough to attempt a punch, but she blocked it. They went on fighting hand to hand for a few minutes before one of Echo's punches connected with his stomach. He fell back.
"This will end now!" shouted Echo as she started moving her arms again. Onimaho didn't have enough time to respond. He couldn't do anything. Echo put her arms in front of her. They were apart with the palms facing towards one another.
"Black hole!"
A ball of dark energy started forming in her hands.
"This is your energy Onimaho." He got up and stared at her and the sphere of energy.
"Because it is your energy, you won't be able to stop it from hitting you. It is drawn to you. All I have to do is infuse it with some of my own," the sphere became streaked with dark purple, "and you will be defeated."
"This... this can't be," said Onimaho with disbelief.
"Darkness sphere!" Echo shouted. The ball flew at Onimaho and hit him dead on in the middle of the chest. He screamed before crumpling to the ground. The wall dissapeared.
"Echo!" Botan ran up to her.
"Wait. I have seen too many horror movies to not check and make sure he isn't coming back."
She walked over to Onimaho and rolled him onto his back. He seemed dead, but then his hand shot up toward the deva necklace.
"I.... must have.... that... necklace!" He grabbed onto the necklace, and pulled it off of echo's neck. He started to get up. Everyone thought his strenght was renewed, but then he froze.
He looked like he was fading. The necklace was glowing black. He dissapeared.
"His soul was consumed by the necklace!"
That was the last of Onimaho.
~*~*~*
"So you have decided to stay?" asked Hiei. He and Echo stood side by side on a roof of a building in Tokyo. They were dressed almost alike, both in black cloaks and pants.
"After experiencing what I have always wanted to do... fighting demons.. having powers... how could I go back to my normal life?" she said.
"It is all cleared up with your family?"
"Yes. My cousins told my family all of what happened, and told everyone else that I moved to Japan to live with a distant relative."
"I'm.... I'm glad you are staying," Hiei said, looking away and blushing. Echo stepped closer to him and slipped her hand into his.
"So am I."
~*~*~*
Yep. It's done. I think this was the longest chapter. I'm proud of this chapter. I wish all of the chapters were this good, but alas, that isn't how it is.
Review and tell me how you liked the fic! If you liked it, please reccomend it to others and tell them to review also. Thank you and have a nice day! ~ TheRedFinch
