Revenge on the Kitsune Chapter 4

"NO KURAMA!!" Yusuke yelled, as Hiei and Kuwabara stood in shocked silence. The elder Toguro and Karasu stood there with sick, evil grins on their faces. Bui just stood there.

"Such a wonderful site, don't you agree? Karasu's bombs did just the trick."

"You're sick and honor less as always, ya evil shoulder monkey!" Kuwabara yelled at the elder Toguro.

There was a sudden thud and everyone looked around to find that Hiei had cut the chains that held Kurama. "You're wrong about us being to late," he said while glaring daggers at the three remaining members of the Toguro team.

Yusuke smiled when he saw that Kurama's chest was moving slightly as he struggled to breath. That smile quickly faded when he saw how much trouble the fox was having trying to breath.

"He won't last," Karasu said in a voice that held both anger and surprise.

"You don't think he'll last? You're the one who fought him before and should know how strong his will to live is." Yusuke thought he would burst in anger, he knew that Karasu was right. Kurama didn't have much time left.

Hiei stood protectively over the weakened fox, giving intense death glares at the three remaining members of Team Toguro. He also realized that Karasu was right, but he hoped that Kurama could last long enough for them to get him to Yukina. But the problem was, they still had to get past Karasu and the others.

"Hey, why don't you just let him go?! You guys think your all tough and stuff but I got a sword, and you can't beat me!" (Do I really need to tell you who that was?)

"Did he suddenly become even more of an idiot?" Yusuke mumbled under his breath.

The elder Toguro suddenly stared laughing and lengthen his fingers shot them at Kuwabara.

Bui took his ax and began to swing his ax wildly at Hiei. The fire demon was soon forced to leave Kurama unprotected. Yusuke stood frozen for a moment when he saw Karasu star walking toward Kurama.

"No you don't! SPIRIT GUN!" Yusuke yelled, aiming the attack at the raven haired demon.

Karasu hissed as the attack hit dead center on his back. "You little son of a bitch!" Karasu whispered in a cold, deadly voice. "You'll pay for that!"

Yusuke dogged two of the bombs that the crazed demon threw at him, yet the third hit the boy's right arm. Yusuke at this point was already mad and the bombs weren't improving his mood. Yet he knew he couldn't use his spirit gun again, because if he did then the whole cave would collapse.

Kuwabara looked like he was doing some kind of funky dance as he tried to avoid the Elder Toguro brother's lengthened figures. "Due, do those things have to be so sharp?!" Kuwabara yelled as he nearly ran into Hiei while dogging to the left.

"You idiot! What do you think you're doing? Fight him already and stop fooling around!" Hiei yelled as he threw a punch at Bui.

"You trying fighting some crazed shoulder monkey with long nails! It's not that easy!"

"You fool! Just fight him already!" Everyone was suddenly thrown off their feet right after Hiei had finished yelling at Kuwabara.

"That hurt," Kuwabara said while sitting up and rubbing his head.

It appeared that Karasu had thrown bombs up at the ceiling in hopes that Yusuke would be killed by the falling rocks. Yusuke though, was now very pissed off. "SPIRIT GUN!" he yelled, forgetting that it could easily kill Hiei, Kuwabara, Kurama, and himself.

*****

Yusuke slowly sat up from the rubble of the cave. Hiei stood up a few seconds later, and then Kuwabara moaned as he slipped back to the real world and put of the sweet, painless darkness.

"Where's Kurama?" Hiei asked, not seeing the fox anywhere in the destruction. Yusuke was already moving rocks, trying to find him. Hiei joined him a few seconds later. Kuwabara just lay there.

"Shit," Yusuke whispered as he removed the stone that lay on top of Kurama. The fox seemed to have every single one of his ribs broken, not to mention the bones in his arms and legs. Yusuke could hardly even recognize him through all the blood that covered his face and body. Hiei knelt down beside Yusuke and looked the fox over. His eyes suddenly widen at something.

"What is it?"

"He's still alive!" Hiei said in nothing more than a whisper.

So.will Kurama live, or will he die?
