"Ok." Said Hiei. Kurama took off the necklace he was wearing. It gave off a
greenish glow. He recited a strange incantation and the necklace began to
glow. A rose made of smoke slowly came out of the necklace and when the
rose bloomed, the silver fox rose from it. The necklace It split into two.
Kurama told Hiei to touch the second one and he did. The necklace turned
red and flame burst out of it. a dragon rose from the flame and wrapped
around Hieis hand. it unwrapped itself and flew over to where the silver
fox was. The fox raised one of its front paws and the dragon held out a
claw. The two touched and matching necklaces were joining from Kilami,
Dabora, and Vence. They began to recite the incantation as well. Out of
Kilamis' yellow necklace, a beam of soft yellow light showed. A butterfly
flew out of it and landed in the foxes' nose. The dragon touched it with
another claw. Vences' silver white necklace, , a tornado erupted and out of
the tornado, a howling wolf leapt out. It went to the fox and sat by it.
the wolf touched the dragons' claw with its paw. Next, storm cloud rose out
of Daboras' necklace. A bear roared during a rumble of thunder and it
bounded out of the storm cloud. It stopped by the wolf and put its claw on
the dragons' hand. light exploded around the animals.
"Hiei. do you swear to trust in the tribe and always be a part of it?" asked Kurama.
"I swear." Said Hiei. Kurama smiled. Welcome to." he began.
"THE ELEMENTAL HURRICANE!" yelled Kilami, Dabora, Vence and Kurama. The light exploded and when it cleared, the necklaces were on the ground.
"Tribes never die. They stand together, or together they fall. Tribes are forever bonded to their fellow tribe members. A bond which will never be broken." Said Kurama. He was speaking a strange language he had been speaking the incantation in, but this time Hiei could understand it.
"separated, we are weak. United we are powerful. Despite deferences, a tribe we make." Said Kilami, Dabora, and Vence.
"The shining butterfly!" said Kilami. Her necklace erupted with the butterfly in the beam of light.
"The Wolf in the howling wind!" said Vence. His necklaces erupted with the wolf howling in the tornado.
"The bear in the thunderstorm!" said Dabora. His necklace erupted with the bear roaring on its hind quarters in the thunder and lightning.
"The fox in the field!" said Kurama. the rose burst out of his necklace with the fox jumping out of it.
"And now." said Kurama.
"The Dragon in the flames!" they all said. Hieis' necklaces erupted into flame and the dragon came out. The animals all stood together with the fox standing in front and the dragons' tail wrapped around the animals protectively.
"A tribe forever." They all said. Then the animals faded away back into the necklaces.
"finished." Said Kurama.
"that was interesting. Where did you learn that?" asked Hiei.
"My village. My mother was a priestess." Said Kurama.
"cool." said Hiei.
"Ah, alas. The lion fish in the water is absent." Said Vence sadly.
"Yes. Well, we will find her after the mission." Said Kurama.
"Agreed." Said Everyone.
"Race time." Said Kurama.
"ON your mark, get set, GO!" yelled Dabora. The five of them raced off to the castle.
Back with Yusuke.
"I am glad Kurama and Hiei are ok. There is the castle. Let's go." Said Kuwabara.
"Ya. I wonder who the help is." Said Trixy.
"I think we will find out soon enough. First, lets try to get to the Wap guy." Said Yusuke.
"ya. I'm gonna Wap his ass good." Said Trixy. Yusuke and Kuwabara laughed.
"good one Trixy." said Kuwabara. They were now inside the castle.
"You know, I think Hiei fancies you, Trixy. every time he looks at you he blushes." Said Yusuke.
"I know I fancy him. But, if you tell anyone I said that, I will beat your brains out." Said Trixy.
"you two look good together." Said Kuwabara.
"Hiei needs a girlfriend." Said Yusuke.
"ya. I wonder what Kurama would say if he knew you liked Hiei." said Yusuke.
"DO you think he would loose it, be calm, laugh or pass out?" asked Kuwabara.
"I don't know, but I would love to see his reaction." Said Trixy.
"YIKES! SHIT! HELP!" yelled Kuwabara. Some kind of monster had grabbed him and picked him up.
"What is that?" asked Trixy.
"I don't know!" said Yusuke.
"Not the monster. That!" said Trixy pointing out the window. There was a cloud of dust and something was moving straight for the wall of the castle where they were standing.
"AAAAAAAAH! YUSUKE HELP!" screamed Trixy as the monster grabbed her.
"I WAS HOPING YOU WOULD HELP ME!" cried Yusuke.
"SHIT!" yelped Trixy. suddenly, the wall of the castle exploded and the monster was lifted into the air by something and dropped its captives. They all shut their eyes tight waiting for the drop to the ground but they were jerked up instead. Yusuke opened his eyes to see a really pretty girl flying him to the ground.
"The roomers are true. You are pretty cute, detective." The girl said. Kuwabara opened his eyes to see he was being carried by a demon in black armor.
"Hello." Said the demon. Trixy opened her eyes to see that she was carried by Hiei, who was blushing crimson.
"H-Hello T-Trixy." he stammered.
"My hero!" she said when they were on the ground, she gave him a big kiss. Who are you people?" asked Yusuke.
"We're with stupid." Giggled the girl with wings and she pointed to the monster, which was being beaten by a giant and none other than..
"KURAMA!" yelled Yusuke.
"Yoko Kurama, Urameshi." Said Kuwabara. The monster had been killed and Yoko Kurama was just looking too damn cool standing on top of it pulling a sword out of its chest.
"I believe you wanted to find lion fish in the water. She is with dragon in the flames." Said Kurama. Kilami, Dabora, and Vence turned to Hiei and saw Trixy.
"TRIXY!" they yelled. They ran over and hugged her.
"Uh, Kurama. Who are these people?" asked Kuwabara.
"Meet the gang that strikes terror into the heart of every demon, the Elemental Hurricane. Aka the outcasts Yoko Kurama pulled out of the gutter." Said Kurama.
"Your gang?" asked Yusuke.
"Yep. Hiei is now a member." Said Kurama.
"I missed the membership incantations!?" asked Trixy.
"it was a last minute thing sis." Said Kurama.
"ok. Here is your welcome gift." Said Trixy as she planted another kiss on Hieis' cheek.
"Hiei and Trixy sitten' in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G! first comes love then comes ma." Kuwabara and Yusuke sang.
"Finish that song and taste dragon of the darkness flames." Said Hiei.
"Well put, Hiei." said Trixy.
"I am Kilami. Details later." Said Kilami.
"I am Vence, we have too much work for details." Said Vence.
"Dabora. What they said." Said Dabora.
"Kilami." Said Kurama.
"Yes, Kurama." Said Kilami.
"I heard that I'm with stupid crack." Kurama smirked.
"uh oh. Busted!" said Kilami.
"You bet. But first, we have business with Mr. Wap." Said Kurama.
"I'm Yusuke and I agree with you guys. No time for details." Said Yusuke.
"Kuwabara. Lets go have some fun." Said Kuwabara.
"Good. Don't worry guys. They have reformed just as well as I have, but even I sometimes have a tendency to be, a bit naughty.." Said Kurama with a spooky smile.
"Cut it out Kurama. Your creeping us out." Said Kuwabara.
"Oh, but that is the point." Said Kurama with the same evil-scary smile.
"Man, I'll bet you rock at telling ghost stories. Go ahead, say something sinister." Said Yusuke.
"Ok, how about this, You best start believing in ghost stories, Kuwabara, because your in one. MHU HA HA HA HA HA!" said Kurama in his creepiest voice.
"Oh, man! That sent chills down my spine! You are good at the evil laugh." Said Yusuke.
"Cut it out! This place is creepy enough without Yoko Kurama trying to freak me out." Said Kuwabara.
"Oh, Kuwabara. I cant resist scaring someone who is so easy to scare. After all, I am a Yoko." Said Kurama In the same creepy voice, chuckling at the end.
"well, I would say you are good at it. now, please stop it." said Kuwabara.
"Alright. Lets see. Our friend is up this staircase." Said Kurama.
"Oh ya. I can smell him." Said Vence.
"oh great. Its dark, damp and made of stone. Not to mention the spider webs every where." Said Kuwabara.
"Like a scene out of a horror story, right, Yusuke?" Kurama asked in a sinister voice.
"Yes. Kuwabara and I saw this. It looks like the creepy castle from that movie, Bloody scream." Said Yusuke in a creepy voice that was almost as good as Kuramas. They winked at each other and snickered.
"Shut up Urameshi." Said Kuwabara.
"It is so much fun to terrorize the Humans." Said Hiei in another creepy voice.
"Oh. You are as good as Kurama." Said Yusuke.
"I got a line. Lets not dwell on the dead. Terrorizing the living is much more fun." Said Kurama in a sinister voice.
"Oh, that was from the first guy I sacked." Said Yusuke.
"ya. I know." Said Kurama.
"It is getting really dark in here." said Kuwabara.
"Hiei, would this count as a desperate time?" asked Kurama.
"I guess. We need to see ahead of us so ya." Said Hiei.
"Desperate times call for desperate measures. lumos." Said Kurama. The tip of his wand lit up.
"Trixy, Hiei you should go ahead and do it too." Said Kurama.
"lumos." They muttered.
"How did you do that?" asked Kuwabara. Everyone wanted to know.
"It has something to do with where we have been. It is a mission and that is all I can tell you." Said Kurama.
"Ok. I wont ask anything else about your mission. I know if it is this secret, if you tell, I bet you will get in trouble." Said Yusuke.
"thank you. And tell no one what we have done." Said Hiei.
"Ok." Said Yusuke. They were reaching the top of the stair case.
"It is way too quiet. Be careful." Said Kurama.
"I'll go in first to make sure it's safe." Dabora offered.
"In that case, I'm right behind you Dabora." Said Kurama. They both stepped into the room, ready to attack. Kurama and Dabora were back to back. Kuramas' ears were flicking around at every little noise and his eyes were darting around the room. Dabora was also scanning the room. Suddenly, Kurama pushed Dabora to the side and leapt to the side of the room. There was an arrow where Dabora had been standing seconds before.
"Thanks Kurama." Said Dabora.
"Don't mention it. that is how tribes work." Said Kurama, still scanning the room.
"Just stay where you are Yusuke. He is in here somewhere." Said Kurama.
"He is tricky." Said Dabora.
"He wont be able to outsmart the fox." Said Vence.
"Hiei, and Vence, come in here, but be slow about it." said Kurama. Hiei and Vence came into the room and moved back to back. They scanned the room for signs of movement. Hiei and Vence jumped into the air and charged at Kurama and Dabora. they looked like they were going to attack. At the last moment, they jumped into the air and something landed at their feet.
"Nice save." Said Kurama.
"thanks." Said Vence.
"So, you are more skilled that I thought. Points for teamwork and strategy." Said a strange voice.
"Show yourself, Wapunana." Said Kurama.
"Very well." Said the voice. Something materialized behind Kurama and grabbed him. It disappeared again and reappeared with Kurama struggling in his grip in the middle of the room. The creature took out a knife and held Kuramas' arm out so he could cut it.
"KURAMA!" yelled Dabora. the creature cut the cloth off of Kuramas' shoulder and held his arm and inspected it.
"I knew it. You have the mark of the Moonscar people. One of the last remaining Moonscar people. The famous tribe of fox demons who could not be defeated because of their love for one another and their cleverness and strength. The tribe that I distorted." Said the creature. Trixy let out a small yelp.
"Ah, yes. I captured you both. You had buried your village. You were lying on the graves of your family crying and wounded with the unconscious body of your little sister beside you and I took you. You couldn't even put up a fight. You tried to escape many times and finally, you let us teach you how to steal and fight. Then, you, your brat sister and one of our newest captives killed almost all of us and got away." Said the creature. Kurama looked horrified.
"You. You are one of them. you are a Viper." Said Kurama.
"that is right, Kurama." Said the creature. He was a snake demon. He had green scales and red eyes. He had two large fangs and a forked toung.
"You were the leader of them. You killed my family." Said Kurama.
"Your father was a fool. He didn't kill me when he had the chance, so I came back stronger and killed him and his pretty little woman. Not to mention his children. But you escaped. I knew I could take you in and bend you to my will." Said Wap.
"But your plan backfired." Said Kurama.
"Yes. But I will destroy the last of the moonscar people. Your wife, your sister, and your little cubs too." Said Wap.
"No!" said Kurama.
"When I have killed you and your sister, I will go to your home in the human world and kill your family." Said Wap.
"Not if I can help it." said Kurama.
"Come to think of it, I think I will kill Shori and your little step brother as well." Said Wap. Kurama Jerked out of his reach and sped over to where the others were.
"This time, I will get the power from you, Kurama. I know you have it." said Wap.
"What? But no one knows but Hiei." said Kurama.
"I sense it Kurama. You will never be able to keep it from me." Said Wap.
"Oh, yes I can." Said Kurama.
"I say now would be a good time to ATTACK!" yelled Yusuke.
"Hold it. bad time Yusuke. Let me see if I can defeat him on my own. I have a three hundred year old score to settle with him." Said Kurama.
"ok. Be careful." Said Yusuke.
"Ready, fox?" roared Wap.
"BRING IT ON!" hollered Kurama.
"READY OR NOT, HERE I COME!" yelled Wap. He let out a war cry and attacked. Kurama jumped up and was about to hit him when he crumbled to the ground holing his chest.
"HA! You cant hold the power in! I will have it!" said Wap.
"Hiei, fill us in." said Yusuke.
"Alright. Kurama is the protector of the flora mange stone. It is an egg/seed and it is made out of stone. It is the source of every plant manges' power and if it falls into the wrong hands, It could mean the end of the world." Said Hiei.
"NO NOT NOW!" said Kurama.
"Kurama, do you need help?" asked Hiei.
"I-It's happening!" said Kurama. He was sweating and was lying on the ground holding his chest and clenching his teeth. He was breathing heavily and his eyes were wide with pain.
"Someone has to distract Wap while I help Kurama." said Hiei.
"What's happening?" asked Kuwabara.
"This shouldn't be happening now! It isn't time yet!" said Vence.
"This has very bad timing." said Kilami.
"What has bad timing?" asked Yusuke.
"He is being reenergize. The mange stone collects power from the plants everywhere and stores it, giving all plant manges a power boost. The only problem is the protector of the stone suffers for it. it is an unbelievable pain. The stone rips itself from the body of the keeper, and it collects the energy, then it replaces itself in the body of the keeper. We have seen it happen. It happens once every half year." Said Dabora.
"Hiei can help keep him under control though. The Jagon Eye will help ease the pain of the collection process." Said Trixy.
"I got the distraction. Hey, Wap! Bet a stupid troll giant mix like me can beat the shit out of you! It's a no brainier really, because everyone knows that trolls are dumb!" said Dabora.
"You will pay for that." Said Wap. Hiei ran over to Kurama and knelt next to him. He took the ward off of the Jagon eye and put his hand above Kuramas' chest. The eye began to glow and Kurama began to relax a little. An egg shaped light glowed within Kuramas' chest where his heart was. The light grew brighter and finally, the mange stone was floating above Kurama. Kurama stood up and took it in his hand. he raised it into the air and little green specks of energy came into it. When all of the energy had entered the egg, Kurama swayed and then fell backwards. A big flower sprouted where he landed the egg was blinking green in Kuramas' hand and then it dissolved into his body. Hiei took his hand away from Kuramas' chest. Kurama reverted back to Human form. He was still breathing heavily, but he was not in pain anymore.
"that was the worst one I have seen." Said Hiei.
"Ya. I've never seen it so bad." said Kilami.
"Do your stuff." Said Vence. Kilami knelt beside Kurama. her hand began to glow and so did her intenni. She closed her eyes and gently poked Kurama in the chest. Light spread quickly to all over his body instantly. Kurama opened his eyes again.
"Thanks guys." Said Kurama.
"That wasn't suppose to happen yet. That one was the worst I have ever seen." Said Hiei.
"They have been getting worse and more frequent. He must be the one." Said Kurama.
"Ok! Diversion is done!" said Dabora and he retreated behind the others.
"Good. I am re energized and ready to kill." Said Kurama. a symbol flashed from the place his clothing had been cut away.
Far away in a forest in Maki:
"Look! My Symbol! It's glowing Respectable elder!" cried a woman in the village.
"Now, I wonder why that is happening. I wonder if, no. it can't be. He is dead." Said the old woman.
"Hiei. do you swear to trust in the tribe and always be a part of it?" asked Kurama.
"I swear." Said Hiei. Kurama smiled. Welcome to." he began.
"THE ELEMENTAL HURRICANE!" yelled Kilami, Dabora, Vence and Kurama. The light exploded and when it cleared, the necklaces were on the ground.
"Tribes never die. They stand together, or together they fall. Tribes are forever bonded to their fellow tribe members. A bond which will never be broken." Said Kurama. He was speaking a strange language he had been speaking the incantation in, but this time Hiei could understand it.
"separated, we are weak. United we are powerful. Despite deferences, a tribe we make." Said Kilami, Dabora, and Vence.
"The shining butterfly!" said Kilami. Her necklace erupted with the butterfly in the beam of light.
"The Wolf in the howling wind!" said Vence. His necklaces erupted with the wolf howling in the tornado.
"The bear in the thunderstorm!" said Dabora. His necklace erupted with the bear roaring on its hind quarters in the thunder and lightning.
"The fox in the field!" said Kurama. the rose burst out of his necklace with the fox jumping out of it.
"And now." said Kurama.
"The Dragon in the flames!" they all said. Hieis' necklaces erupted into flame and the dragon came out. The animals all stood together with the fox standing in front and the dragons' tail wrapped around the animals protectively.
"A tribe forever." They all said. Then the animals faded away back into the necklaces.
"finished." Said Kurama.
"that was interesting. Where did you learn that?" asked Hiei.
"My village. My mother was a priestess." Said Kurama.
"cool." said Hiei.
"Ah, alas. The lion fish in the water is absent." Said Vence sadly.
"Yes. Well, we will find her after the mission." Said Kurama.
"Agreed." Said Everyone.
"Race time." Said Kurama.
"ON your mark, get set, GO!" yelled Dabora. The five of them raced off to the castle.

"DO you think he would loose it, be calm, laugh or pass out?" asked Kuwabara.
"I don't know, but I would love to see his reaction." Said Trixy.
"YIKES! SHIT! HELP!" yelled Kuwabara. Some kind of monster had grabbed him and picked him up.
"What is that?" asked Trixy.
"I don't know!" said Yusuke.
"Not the monster. That!" said Trixy pointing out the window. There was a cloud of dust and something was moving straight for the wall of the castle where they were standing.
"AAAAAAAAH! YUSUKE HELP!" screamed Trixy as the monster grabbed her.
"I WAS HOPING YOU WOULD HELP ME!" cried Yusuke.
"SHIT!" yelped Trixy. suddenly, the wall of the castle exploded and the monster was lifted into the air by something and dropped its captives. They all shut their eyes tight waiting for the drop to the ground but they were jerked up instead. Yusuke opened his eyes to see a really pretty girl flying him to the ground.
"The roomers are true. You are pretty cute, detective." The girl said. Kuwabara opened his eyes to see he was being carried by a demon in black armor.

"H-Hello T-Trixy." he stammered.

"We're with stupid." Giggled the girl with wings and she pointed to the monster, which was being beaten by a giant and none other than..
"KURAMA!" yelled Yusuke.
"Yoko Kurama, Urameshi." Said Kuwabara. The monster had been killed and Yoko Kurama was just looking too damn cool standing on top of it pulling a sword out of its chest.
"I believe you wanted to find lion fish in the water. She is with dragon in the flames." Said Kurama. Kilami, Dabora, and Vence turned to Hiei and saw Trixy.
"TRIXY!" they yelled. They ran over and hugged her.
"Uh, Kurama. Who are these people?" asked Kuwabara.
"Meet the gang that strikes terror into the heart of every demon, the Elemental Hurricane. Aka the outcasts Yoko Kurama pulled out of the gutter." Said Kurama.
"Your gang?" asked Yusuke.
"Yep. Hiei is now a member." Said Kurama.
"I missed the membership incantations!?" asked Trixy.
"it was a last minute thing sis." Said Kurama.
"ok. Here is your welcome gift." Said Trixy as she planted another kiss on Hieis' cheek.
"Hiei and Trixy sitten' in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G! first comes love then comes ma." Kuwabara and Yusuke sang.
"Finish that song and taste dragon of the darkness flames." Said Hiei.
"Well put, Hiei." said Trixy.
"I am Kilami. Details later." Said Kilami.
"I am Vence, we have too much work for details." Said Vence.
"Dabora. What they said." Said Dabora.
"Kilami." Said Kurama.
"Yes, Kurama." Said Kilami.
"I heard that I'm with stupid crack." Kurama smirked.
"uh oh. Busted!" said Kilami.
"You bet. But first, we have business with Mr. Wap." Said Kurama.
"I'm Yusuke and I agree with you guys. No time for details." Said Yusuke.
"Kuwabara. Lets go have some fun." Said Kuwabara.

"Alright. Lets see. Our friend is up this staircase." Said Kurama.
"Oh ya. I can smell him." Said Vence.
"oh great. Its dark, damp and made of stone. Not to mention the spider webs every where." Said Kuwabara.
"Like a scene out of a horror story, right, Yusuke?" Kurama asked in a sinister voice.
"Yes. Kuwabara and I saw this. It looks like the creepy castle from that movie, Bloody scream." Said Yusuke in a creepy voice that was almost as good as Kuramas. They winked at each other and snickered.
"Shut up Urameshi." Said Kuwabara.
"It is so much fun to terrorize the Humans." Said Hiei in another creepy voice.
"Oh. You are as good as Kurama." Said Yusuke.
"I got a line. Lets not dwell on the dead. Terrorizing the living is much more fun." Said Kurama in a sinister voice.
"Oh, that was from the first guy I sacked." Said Yusuke.
"ya. I know." Said Kurama.
"It is getting really dark in here." said Kuwabara.
"Hiei, would this count as a desperate time?" asked Kurama.
"I guess. We need to see ahead of us so ya." Said Hiei.
"Desperate times call for desperate measures. lumos." Said Kurama. The tip of his wand lit up.
"Trixy, Hiei you should go ahead and do it too." Said Kurama.
"lumos." They muttered.
"How did you do that?" asked Kuwabara. Everyone wanted to know.
"It has something to do with where we have been. It is a mission and that is all I can tell you." Said Kurama.

"He wont be able to outsmart the fox." Said Vence.
"Hiei, and Vence, come in here, but be slow about it." said Kurama. Hiei and Vence came into the room and moved back to back. They scanned the room for signs of movement. Hiei and Vence jumped into the air and charged at Kurama and Dabora. they looked like they were going to attack. At the last moment, they jumped into the air and something landed at their feet.
"Nice save." Said Kurama.
"thanks." Said Vence.
"So, you are more skilled that I thought. Points for teamwork and strategy." Said a strange voice.
"Show yourself, Wapunana." Said Kurama.
"Very well." Said the voice. Something materialized behind Kurama and grabbed him. It disappeared again and reappeared with Kurama struggling in his grip in the middle of the room. The creature took out a knife and held Kuramas' arm out so he could cut it.
"KURAMA!" yelled Dabora. the creature cut the cloth off of Kuramas' shoulder and held his arm and inspected it.
"I knew it. You have the mark of the Moonscar people. One of the last remaining Moonscar people. The famous tribe of fox demons who could not be defeated because of their love for one another and their cleverness and strength. The tribe that I distorted." Said the creature.

"You. You are one of them. you are a Viper." Said Kurama.
"that is right, Kurama." Said the creature. He was a snake demon. He had green scales and red eyes. He had two large fangs and a forked toung.
"You were the leader of them. You killed my family." Said Kurama.
"Your father was a fool. He didn't kill me when he had the chance, so I came back stronger and killed him and his pretty little woman. Not to mention his children. But you escaped. I knew I could take you in and bend you to my will." Said Wap.
"But your plan backfired." Said Kurama.
"Yes. But I will destroy the last of the moonscar people. Your wife, your sister, and your little cubs too." Said Wap.
"No!" said Kurama.
"When I have killed you and your sister, I will go to your home in the human world and kill your family." Said Wap.
"Not if I can help it." said Kurama.
"Come to think of it, I think I will kill Shori and your little step brother as well." Said Wap. Kurama Jerked out of his reach and sped over to where the others were.
"This time, I will get the power from you, Kurama. I know you have it." said Wap.
"What? But no one knows but Hiei." said Kurama.
"I sense it Kurama. You will never be able to keep it from me." Said Wap.
"Oh, yes I can." Said Kurama.
"I say now would be a good time to ATTACK!" yelled Yusuke.
"Hold it. bad time Yusuke. Let me see if I can defeat him on my own. I have a three hundred year old score to settle with him." Said Kurama.
"ok. Be careful." Said Yusuke.
"Ready, fox?" roared Wap.
"BRING IT ON!" hollered Kurama.
"READY OR NOT, HERE I COME!" yelled Wap. He let out a war cry and attacked. Kurama jumped up and was about to hit him when he crumbled to the ground holing his chest.
"HA! You cant hold the power in! I will have it!" said Wap.
"Hiei, fill us in." said Yusuke.
"Alright. Kurama is the protector of the flora mange stone. It is an egg/seed and it is made out of stone. It is the source of every plant manges' power and if it falls into the wrong hands, It could mean the end of the world." Said Hiei.
"NO NOT NOW!" said Kurama.
"Kurama, do you need help?" asked Hiei.
"I-It's happening!" said Kurama. He was sweating and was lying on the ground holding his chest and clenching his teeth. He was breathing heavily and his eyes were wide with pain.
"Someone has to distract Wap while I help Kurama." said Hiei.
"What's happening?" asked Kuwabara.
"This shouldn't be happening now! It isn't time yet!" said Vence.
"This has very bad timing." said Kilami.
"What has bad timing?" asked Yusuke.
"He is being reenergize. The mange stone collects power from the plants everywhere and stores it, giving all plant manges a power boost. The only problem is the protector of the stone suffers for it. it is an unbelievable pain. The stone rips itself from the body of the keeper, and it collects the energy, then it replaces itself in the body of the keeper. We have seen it happen. It happens once every half year." Said Dabora.
"Hiei can help keep him under control though. The Jagon Eye will help ease the pain of the collection process." Said Trixy.
"I got the distraction. Hey, Wap! Bet a stupid troll giant mix like me can beat the shit out of you! It's a no brainier really, because everyone knows that trolls are dumb!" said Dabora.
"You will pay for that." Said Wap. Hiei ran over to Kurama and knelt next to him. He took the ward off of the Jagon eye and put his hand above Kuramas' chest. The eye began to glow and Kurama began to relax a little. An egg shaped light glowed within Kuramas' chest where his heart was. The light grew brighter and finally, the mange stone was floating above Kurama. Kurama stood up and took it in his hand. he raised it into the air and little green specks of energy came into it. When all of the energy had entered the egg, Kurama swayed and then fell backwards. A big flower sprouted where he landed the egg was blinking green in Kuramas' hand and then it dissolved into his body. Hiei took his hand away from Kuramas' chest. Kurama reverted back to Human form. He was still breathing heavily, but he was not in pain anymore.
"that was the worst one I have seen." Said Hiei.
"Ya. I've never seen it so bad." said Kilami.
"Do your stuff." Said Vence. Kilami knelt beside Kurama. her hand began to glow and so did her intenni. She closed her eyes and gently poked Kurama in the chest. Light spread quickly to all over his body instantly. Kurama opened his eyes again.
"Thanks guys." Said Kurama.
"That wasn't suppose to happen yet. That one was the worst I have ever seen." Said Hiei.
"They have been getting worse and more frequent. He must be the one." Said Kurama.
"Ok! Diversion is done!" said Dabora and he retreated behind the others.
"Good. I am re energized and ready to kill." Said Kurama. a symbol flashed from the place his clothing had been cut away.
Far away in a forest in Maki:
"Look! My Symbol! It's glowing Respectable elder!" cried a woman in the village.
"Now, I wonder why that is happening. I wonder if, no. it can't be. He is dead." Said the old woman.
