Angels, Demons and Sacrifices

Thalkarsh rose to his full height, his hair brushing the ceiling. Oddly, he looked like a Kyuukonki(1)... except that a Kyuukonki was only eight feet tall, whereas this one was three stories...
Yusuke turned to face the demon god. "Botan, I want you to get the girls out of here," he said, speaking carefully to not let his rage out where it might hurt them.
Botan nodded seriously and got on her oar. "Come on, girls, let's go," she said, shooing them through the huge doors. But once they were through, the doors began to close after them.
Botan looked back quickly, in time to see a flash of blue and white in the crack between the doors. "Medra!?-"
Medra took her stance beside the rest of the Tantei. "You're not supposed to be here," Kurama murmured, his eyes never leaving the god.
"I couldn't just leave you all here, could I? Not when I can fight," she said, her eyes also on Thalkarsh. They suddenly narrowed. "Not when I have a score to settle."
Thalkarsh looked bemused and also slightly bored. "So, one of my snacks has decided to throw herself into my jaws rather than wait till my world domination? No matter. It doesn't matter how many fighters you throw at me, I'll still win. And once I have eaten you five, I will be even stronger!" he roared.
"Blah blah blah, all talk and no action," Medra said sharply.
"Don't underestimate him. He may be weakened, but he's still a god," Hiei said to warn her.
"I know." She brought out her swords.
"Well? Attack me," ordered Thalkarsh. "Or are you just going to stand around all day?"
Suddenly, Medra made her move. She jumped off the wall and slashed at his right arm, using her wings to hover. As if they had planned it all along, the others simultaneously attacked him. Hiei set his Dragon of the Darkness Flame to work on the god's left arm, Kurama used his whip on the god's legs, Kuwabara slashed his abdomen, and Yusuke gave Thalkarsh a Spirit Gun to the head. Then they regrouped on the ground to see what effect their attacks had had.
He remained still for a second. Then came that rumbling, deep laugh. And, to their horror, his wounds healed themselves before their very eyes. Quickly, they attacked again, but it was no use. No matter what they tried, nothing took. Finally, panting, they stopped.
"What... what do we do now?" asked Kuwabara.
Yusuke thought for a minute, then said seriously, "I have a plan, but I'm not sure it will work."
"Baka, anything's better than what we're doing right now. It's not getting us anywhere!" Hiei spat.
"I'm going to try to create a new attack."
"WHAT??!!"
"I need all your spirit energy combined," he said, looking around at them. When nobody moved, he added, "Please! Trust me on this one."
"Well, I trust you," Medra said. She placed a hand on Yusuke's arm and fed him a thin line of her spirit energy, looking at the others expectantly. Kurama joined her, then Hiei, then, grudingly, Kuwabara.
A dirty blue ball of spirit energy was growing in Yusuke's hands. It looked as though he had taken all their energy and rolled it into a lump along with his own. When it had grown to a foot in diameter, it stopped.
Yusuke took aim carefully, and... fired.
"Spirit Bomb!"
It landed gently in the mouth of Thalkarsh... who then proceeded to swallow it.
Nothing happened.
Thalkarsh laghed in great delight. "You see?! I am invinci-"
BOOOOOM!!!!!
Thalkarsh was no longer there. Instead, everyone was ankle-deep in demon goop.
Yusuke grinned crookedly. "Must've had a delayed reaction."
"Yeah!" shouted Kuwabara, clapping Yusuke on the back. "Way to go, Urameshi!"
Hiei simply smirked and gave his usual, "Hn."
Medra laughed from sheer joy and kissed Kurama, who kissed her back. They broke to find Yusuke and Kuwabara staring at them with their jaws dropping and Hiei with an unreadable expression. Both of them sweatdropped.
"Looks like we have a little explaining to do..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*OWARI*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
^_^ Heh heh heh... they forgot to mention their relationship to the others...
That was pretty short. I'll try to do better. The next part is going to have less Kurama/Medra sap and be more focused on Medra herself.
1= A Kyuukonki is what Gouki was. You know, the ogre-like person that had the Orb of Baast?
Preview of Next Fic: We all know Medra's past. So why has a letter turned up from people that say they know where she came from - and why she has wings? And why is it from the Makai? Confused? I sure am. Next up: Origins of an Angel. You won't want to miss it!
