"Finally we found you!" Yusuke shouted, getting into a fighting stance.

"This is bullshit!" Tracey said taking out her sword.

"Watch your mouth and act like a lady" Botan shouted.

"Hey…hey, your that Botan that told on Keiko!" Mariah yelled.

"I'll go get them, Mariah take care of this…" Tracey said speeding off in a certain direction.

"OH sure, I'm strong enough to take on all these people…yeah don't worry about ME!" Mariah said sarcastically.

"Hiei, Keiko wake up…the bastard's here!" Tracey shouted.

"Stop using that language!" Keiko groaned.

"I'm on it…lets go Keiko!" Hiei stated running off to where he can sense the team.

*** ***

"So who do I take out first…how about the blue haired girl…" Mariah said giggling.

"What?" Botan asked frightened.

"You will not touch her…" Yusuke shouted.

"Why are you fighting us we just want back what's rightfully ours!?" Keiko shouted, jumping besides Mariah.

"That's right!" Tracey agreed.

"I'm sorry Keiko, but you've stolen other objects that did not belong to you…" Kurama said.

"Well that's true…" Mariah said rubbing the back of her head.

"But that doesn't mean you have to kill them!" Hiei shouted.

"He's got a point…." Kuwabara said.

" No one said we were gonna kill them, we just want them to come quietly…but if they won't that leaves us no choice…" Yusuke stated.

"You're sure as hell, we're not coming quietly!" Mariah yelled.

"Look at what you've been teaching her…" Keiko sighed looking at Tracey.

"Don't look at me…" Tracey replied.

"Focus!" Hiei shouted at both of them.

The others stood in disbelief. "Is this who we have to fight, you've got to be kidding!" Kuwabara laughed.

"I take the funny looking stupid one!" Mariah yelled charging towards Kuwabara.

"Huh?" He questioned to late, as a flash of purple came charging towards him.

Mariah swung her sword slashing Kuwabara across the chest.

"Never underestimate the enemy…and always keep your guard up…a little advice for next time, carrot top!" Mariah said, landing next to Keiko.

"Way to go Mariah, that's one down…" Tracey applauded.

"You think that idiot is going down on one blow…" Hiei stated taking out his sword.

"What ya mean?" Mariah asked.

"He means I'm not out!" Kuwabara said charging at Mariah.

"I thought you never hurt girls!" Mariah said jumping out of his way.

"You're an exception, I wouldn't consider you as one…"

"Oh no, he insulted her…" Tracey said, placing a hand on her forehead.

"What did you say you ass!" Mariah said, again charging towards him, her sword glowing a bright purple. She slashed at him once more throwing him back.

"I have a right to kill you…" She said ready to cut his throat, only to be shot by a bright blue light, that threw her across to her teammates.

"He's serious…" Keiko whispered, looking at Mariah's body that laid there not moving.

"Yusuke I swear if she's dead…" Keiko shouted taking out her own weapon.

It was a sword, with great craftsmanship…it had jewels that covered the handle and gleamed in the bright glowing sun.

"You're mine…" She said charging towards him.

He quickly dodged her attack and shot a ray towards her. She deflected it with her sword sending it to where Kurama and Botan stood.

Kurama got Botan saving her from destruction. "Is she trying to kill me…?" Botan asked.

"No I say that was a mistake, it would have gone anywhere…but yeah you would have been a great target…" Tracey said landing in front of her.

"Your fight is with me not her…" Kurama said stepping in front of Botan.

"All right pretty boy, bring it on…" Tracey said ready to strike.

Kurama quickly got out his rose whip shielding him from Tracey's blow.

On the other side stood Hiei ready to help Keiko out, only to be stopped by Kuwabara.

"Hold on short stuff, even though I hate to do this, you can't help Keiko, your fight is with me…"

" I have no time!" Hiei hissed striking at Kuwabara.

"I won't go down that easily!" Kuwabara said dodging the attack.

" I see you improved your speed human…but you'll never be as fast as me…" Hiei stated, again charging towards Kuwabara.

*** ***

"Keiko I don't want to fight you…" Yusuke said, blocking her every blow.

" You lie, if you didn't want to fight me…you wouldn't have done that to Mariah…my friend!" She screamed, blocking Yusuke's punch.

"Try to understand…you need to go to jail…come quietly…"

"I'm not stupid Yusuke, if you want me…defeat me…" Keiko said, slashing his arm.

Yusuke held his bleeding arm, where a gash was made…by his ex-love.

"You really don't get it Keiko, why didn't you tell me what you were…?" He asked.

"I should be asking you the same QUESTION!" She yelled out in frustration charging towards him again.

"Calm down" He said blocking the strike.

"So it seems pretty boy knows how to fight, how quaint…" Tracey said, dodging one of his attacks.

"You know your quite good…" Kurama said.

'Too good, in order for me to defeat her, I have to hurt her emotionally…' He thought.

"That no good half demon couldn't even take a blow from a ray gun, I'm surprised she's still alive…"

"Don't talk about her that way…" Tracey said angrily, making a gash on his leg.

"She'll die soon, look at her that worthy no good demon, she's not worth it…" He stated.

"How can you be cruel…" Tracey said, tears blinding her eyes.

'Now's my chance…' He thought, sending a seed into her stomach.

Tracey quickly stopped, her eyes getting droopy…she fainted on the spot being caught by Kurama.

"I am truly sorry for those harsh words, forgive me…" He apologized placing her gently on the ground.

"Another one gone!" Botan shouted.

*** ***

"Don't tell me to calm down…don't tell me to do anything, you broke my heart, my soul…and I will never forgive you!" She yelled, her eyes filling with tears.

"Keiko…I'm sorry…" He replied.

"No you're not, you're lying…" She screamed, gathering up spirit energy into her sword.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"Something that will end all this…" She stated.

"I'm sorry Keiko…" He said gathering up spirit energy in his index finger for his spirit gun.

"Keiko!" Hiei called, dodging one of Kuwabara's attacks.

"What…?" Kuwabara said looking at the current battle between Yusuke and Keiko.

"Yusuke what the hell are you doing that can kill her!" Kuwabara yelled.

"Shut up and take that sword away from her..." He shouted.

"Your kidding then she'll be left defenseless…" Kuwabara shouted.

"NOW!" Yusuke yelled.

"You will not do that!" Hiei said, knocking Kuwabara to the ground.

"Kurama you have to do what Kuwabara was told, he's busy at the moment!" Botan said.

"I will not…" Kurama stated.

"Then I guess I will…"

*** ***

"Focus Keiko…focus…" Keiko whispered to herself. "These tears they're getting in my way!" She yelled wiping them away with on hand.

"There's my chance!" Botan said, throwing her oar at Keiko's sword.

With one hand holding the sword the oar slightly hit it altering it in a certain direction. Keiko was unaware of this, for the power circulating her hand hardly felt the tap of the oar.

"I'm ready…" Keiko said sending the blast…it missed.

It slightly missed, it got him on the leg damaging it harshly, but it wasn't aimed for the leg…she was sure she had made the right calculations.

That's when she noticed the oar on the floor besides her, she quickly looked at Botan…eyes full of anger and sorrow. Botan mouthed a sorry, and had a 'I had to do it, it's for your own good…' expression on her face.

"Now!" Yusuke shouted, letting the energy go, sending it to a defenseless Keiko.

Keiko only stared at the light, closing her eyes, waiting for her demise.
