Chapter 5
"Whoa!" Kuwabara gasped as he held onto a piece of fallen stadium for dear life. Yusuke and Kurama shielded their eyes against the dust that flew at them like bullets. Makuro bent her knees to keep balance, as did Hiei.
Yomi was screaming now. Her energy was skyrocketing and was creating tornadoes and other strong winds. The audience was no one – all of them were blown away by Yomi's wind. Koto hid under the fighting ground, her ears flattened and her tail between her legs. The microphone was gone and her whole body was shaking. Natu's jaw betrayed his stance – even though he stood as if nothing bothered him, his eyes still held shock. However could a female demon give off such a large amount of energy was beyond him, but his slave circlet still wouldn't budge.
Hiei was speechless. Not only at such power, but also at her determination not to be controlled - not to be made to do anything that she didn't want to, especially with Natu. He wanted to help her, but there was no way. Yomi had made sure to make a tornado surround her to stop Hiei from doing anything that he might regret.
"How could she?" Yusuke asked through clenched teeth. "I have no idea!" Kurama replied. Makuro, though she didn't say anything, didn't have any idea how one girl could hold such energy either.
~Hiei...~Yomi sent a telepathic message to Hiei.
Hiei had been waiting a long time; all his telepathic messages to her were unanswered. ~Yomi, stop this! You'll be completely drained and then, how can we fight Natu? ~ Hiei answered.
~I'm...afraid...it's just going to be you. ~ Yomi's voice was weak.
~No don't! ~ Hiei paused, ~ Don't, I beg you. ~ He said.
~Forgive me. ~
That was the last thing Hiei heard before a wind so strong blew him off of his feet. It was obviously directed at him so he wouldn't interfere. That strong gust of wind, that sudden burst of energy, as everyone knew, was Yomi's life. Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama and Makuro, were all pressed up hard against the wall as the wind threatened to push out all of the breath in their lungs.
"Yomiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!" Hiei cried as he knelt down to keep balance, but his voice was drowned by Yomi's scream. Natu was the only one who wasn't pressed up against a wall. He stood perfectly calm but his expression betrays him; he was worried. His ring was starting to electrify, which meant Yomi was succeeding in removing the circlet, but at this point, there's nothing he can do to stop her.
Seconds passed like thousands of years. Yomi's screams got weaker and weaker, the energy wind got smaller and smaller, and the electricity on Natu's ring got stronger and stronger.
All of a sudden, everything stopped...
