Chapter 8: One Who Multiplies

'HIEI!'

Kurama's eyes widened at the thought of Hiei being drenched by water.

'Dammit, Hiei! RUN!'

He saw Hiei brace himself for the wave of water coming toward him when all of a sudden....

"SHINZOKU-SAMA! SHINZOKU-SAMA!" (A/N: Reminds you of Jaken (Inuyasha), doesn't it? -_-())

A dark blue demon had just run in yelling Shinzoku's name. Shinzoku stopped his attack and Hiei watched as the wave coming toward him stopped in midair. He tried getting away but when he ran in the other direction, a huge tidal wave surged in front of him, blocking him from escape.

"Tsk tsk tsk Hiei, you should know me better than that."

"If I had the choice I wouldn't know about you at all..." Hiei retorted.

Shinzoku growled and turned back to the midnight blue demon. (A/N: Why are all the demons blue?) "What the hell do you want? I was in the middle of something important."

"Shinzoku-sama, Aquarius was defeated today sir," the demon reported.

"WHAT?!"

Shinzoku's loud voice boomed through the castle and Kurama's mind congratulated Yusuke and Kuwabara for defeating the demons without his and Hiei's help.

"I will not be defeated by a bunch of worthless, pathetic HUMANS!" He spat the last word out as if it was a germ or a disease that was infecting his very being. "Go Pisces." He said in a calm and threatening voice. Kurama was surprised at how quickly the demon's attitude could be changed. "Keep our ningen friends busy with your...... special technique..."

The demon had something up his sleeve. Hiei snarled at the demon wondering what he could be up to now. 'This poor excuse for a demon doesn't even care that his forces are being stripped and burned in a fire of demon guts. By the time he decides to act on his plan to dominate the three worlds, he'll have no one left to help him!'

Shinzoku turned back to Hiei.

"Now... where were we...?"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Keiko and Yukina were sitting down at the coffee table in the center of the temple's living room, when a demon with dark blue skin and spikes running down his back. His entire body was covered in scales, which reflected off multicolored lights, sending flashes of light and rainbows everywhere.

"Wh-Who are y-you?" Keiko stuttered.

"I am Pisces, a servant of master Shinzoku. Where are those worthless humans who have destroyed two of master Shinzoku's forces?!?! The other two were weak, but I will rip apart each human limb by limb!" He reached over to the coffee table and shattered the glass in the middle with on strike of his hand, and broke off each of the legs of the coffee table.

"Yukina run!" Keiko whispered.

"But I can't leave you here!"

"Yukina, if I die, at least you will be alive to help Yusuke and Kuwabara. If you die... who's going to heal the idiots from the millions of wounds they're gonna get?"

"Keiko... don't talk like that."

The demon advanced on Keiko and Yukina with a leg of the coffee table in each hand.

"Yukina please! I'll distract him, you RUN!"

Yukina looked helplessly at Keiko, but with no other choices, she nodded her head. Keiko picked up a shard of glass that broke off from the middle of the coffee table and threw it at the demon. It pierced a piece of his skin, but he emotionlessly turned toward Keiko, his crimson eyes glowing.

"Since the human and his little companion are not here, I shall have to start with you."

Yukina took this chance and ran for her life, however when she got to the door...

"You think you will escape?"

Yukina gasped. In front of her was none other than the midnight blue demon who was threatening Keiko. She turned back around to see that that demon was still in front of Keiko now on the verge of pinning her to the wall. Suddenly, her air supply had been cut off as the other demon in front of her coiled his hand around her neck and lifted her from the ground.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Yusuke and Kuwabara scrambled towards the portal that transported them between the Makai and the Ningenkai. Landing directly in front of Genkai's temple, the pair got up and started trudging slowly up the long flight of stairs, when suddenly a high pitch scream met their ears.

"Keiko......."

"Yukina......"

The two boys ran up the stairs, each step making the temple seem farther and farther away. Finally, when they reached the top of the steps, another high pitch scream was heard.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"LET GO OF ME!!"

Yukina screamed as she was pulled up from the ground and the blue demon dug his nails into her throat, minutely cutting off her air supply.

"YUKINA!"

Keiko screamed her friend's name before feeling pain in her neck. She wasn't holding up much better than Yukina. Her new blouse had been torn at the collar and the embroidering done on the edges of the sleeves had been pulled out of its stitching. The demon... or was it the replica of the demon...? It didn't matter. It had pinned her too the wall of the temple and was drawing blood from her neck with a sharp spike that came from it's back.

She closed her eyes. It was inevitable. She was unable to escape and therefore... both of them would die... Her eyes clenched even more as she thought of the person that had dragged her into this mess.

"YUSUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Shinzoku walked closer to Hiei, standing about three feet away from him. He called back the wave, deciding to kill Hiei... in a more... appropriate way.

Hiei smirked, not knowing Shinzoku's plan, and sent a blaze of fire straight at Shinzoku. To his surprise it came soaring back at him and hit him square in the stomach.

Hiei groaned as he was blasted backwards and towards the wall. He blurred down to the ground, but was weakened and he needed to use his hand to just get up in a crouching position.

'Dammit! He can reflect attacks! And at twice the power!'

Shinzoku saw the surprise in Hiei's eyes and smirked, his own eyes glowing red.

"Did I surprise you Hiei? Is my attack too strong for you?"

He walked up to where Hiei was crouching and grabbed his collar, pulling him up with one hand, lifting him off the ground. He mumbled something to himself until something appeared in his hand...

Hiei gasped. 'My katana!'

"Yes Hiei." Shinzoku said, reading Hiei's thoughts. "This is your katana." He flicked the blade back and forth, still holding Hiei up with he other hand. It shimmered with each flick of Shinzoku's wrist.

"Ironic isn't it? The one weapon that has saved you and those you care about so much will now be the one that brings about your demise."

Hiei clenched his teeth, as Shinzoku brought the blade to his neck and drew a thin line of blood across the diameter. He was then about to bring the blade to Hiei's wrist when...

"STOP!!"

Shinzoku turned and Hiei's eyes widened at the voice.

'Kurama?'

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"YUSUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Yusuke ran as fast as he could, following the sound of the scream that was most likely Keiko's.

'Please be ok... Please...'

Kuwabara ran after Yusuke, concerned about Yukina... and um... what's her name? Oh yeah... Keiko.

They reached the room of the temple where the scream was coming from. Yusuke's eyes widened as he saw two demons... both looking exactly like the other, each holding one girl captive.

The one holding Yukina turned around and Kuwabara gasped as he saw that Yukina was unconscious and there were five crescent shaped marks in he neck. The demon smirked and put his hand around her neck again, starting to increase the strength of his grip slowly.

"LET GO OF HER YOU BASTARD!" Kuwabara was in a rage now. "Let go of her if you have enough GUTS to fight us directly!!"

The blue demon smirked again and started to speak. He closed his eyes and mumbled a string of words underneath his breath.

"What the hell is wrong with you? If you don't stop smiling I'll have to punch your mouth out," Yusuke threatened. He looked over to the one holding Keiko. "We'll fight both of you, one on one. Then you can put Keiko down and I'll be able to shut you up."

"There is no need for that," a voice said behind them.

Yusuke and Kuwabara turned to see the same blue demon that was holding Yukina and Keiko. It then multiplied and there were two demons in front of them.

"I am Pisces. I suppose now you now one of my special techniques," one of the multiplied demons said.

"I am able to multiply myself as many times as I need," the other one continued.

"And each copy is just as strong as the original," the one behind them said.

"And yet each one can attack you at different times. There is no coordinated technique to each replica's attack." The last demon holding Keiko walked out of the temple.

Yusuke and Kuwabara were surrounded on all sides by ugly blue demons, all having the same attack strength and all being able to multiply again at any time.

'Oh Shit......'

A/N: Starangel: HI EVERYONE!!!!! I'm just gonna do a little talking. ^_^ My writer's block is... sort of stopping but I still have some. *points to block which has shrunk to 4" 5'* ^_^ I hope you all liked this chapter and I hope it was worth waiting... one...two... three... four... FIVE months?!?! I haven't written in 5 MONTHS?!?!

Hiei: It was about to become six. *points to author* Don't you all want to kill her?

Everyone: *nods*

Starangel: EEP! *ducks all the sharp pointy object thrown at her.*

Hiei: Serves you right.

Starangel: I'M SORRY EVERYONE!!!!!!!!! I just had no idea what to write!!! I hope you all forgive me and that this chapter was worth the wait. I wanted to write more, but my writer's block is catching up to me. Also... there were so many good places to leave cliffhangers I just wasn't sure where to throw one down and end the chapter. I guess I could've continued, but I wasn't totally sure what to write and then how to end the chapter...

Hiei: Just shut up and stop explaining to them. They already know that you're a stupid ninth grader with a brain the size of a peanut and that you have no writing skill whatsoever.

Starangel: HEY!! I resent that statement!

Hiei: *shrugs* You can't hide from the truth...

Starangel: *snaps her fingers* *Hiei disappears* *pouts* He's so mean T_T

R/R please!
