Chapter 13
Another One...Dead
Yusuke quickly finished treating Kurama and ran out of his room, standing in horror as his friends fought the five the minion vampires. The enemy didn't seem to notice him, but took notice as one of them was punched in the side of the head by Yusuke. "Glad to see you could join the kick ass party!" Hiei called as he cut one third vampire's right arm off and laughed as he easily dodged the vampire's attack. Kuwbara swung his spirit sword and the fourth one backed off from Yusuke's mom who was crying out in terror. Yusuke gathered his spirit energy then aimed it at the vampire behind his mom. "SPIRIT GUN!" he ordered and the enormous energy rammed into the sixth vampire who lay sprawled on the floor stunned. 'Great, one more time then I'm useless,' he told himself, slamming his fist in the face of the first vampire. Kittara joined him and knocked out the fifth vampire, but only for a short time. "Where is Sapphire?" he asked her, but she only shook her head and ran off to Kuwbara's aid. "Has anyone seen Sapphire?" he asked the others, but they didn't know either. 'Come on Sapphire, where are you?' he asked himself, but his response came quick.

"SPIRIT JAVELINS!" Sapphire commanded and three purple javelins plunged through the last three vampires, causing them to try and pull the javelins out. They all saw the angel spirit cut all over and blind eyes changed to fiery red with rage. But they got themselves together and continued to fight. The last three vampires finally pulled the javelins out of their stomachs, coughing up black sticky blood. All six ambushed the Sapphire, but Kuwbara and the others got them off of her. The second one was biting her neck, and the third with the missing arm held her down. But Hiei rammed the hilt of his sword into both their heads and Sapphire flew to the ceiling, and then fired another javelin at the two dying vampires and they were slammed against the wall by the force of her power. But all the vampires didn't give up that easily...but were weak and crippled. They gathered all their remaining energy, including Kurama and fired their ultimate attack. "SUPERNATURAL DESTRUCTION!" they all called and a wave of crimson red energy embraced Yusuke and the others in smoke. Before the attack had full effect, the first vampire slit the throat of Yusuke's mom and left as their attack exploded on them. But they didn't escape Sapphire's last attack in time. "KATANA STORM!" she commanded and thousands of purple energy swords hurled into the vampires, even Kurama.

The two attacks struggled against each other for a few minutes, and then died down in defeat of each other. Sapphire flew after them and attacked the vampire that had killed Yusuke's mom. "DIE YOU BASTARD!" she yelled, fired her last javelin and it plunged into him. Then without warning, she had grabbed a sword and sliced his head off! Kurama was holding her back and her eyes changed to blue again and the two flew back into Yusuke's apartment. Most of the walls and furniture were splattered with the vampire's thick poisonous blood, and they gathered around Yusuke's mom. She was in his arms and looked at him with dying eyes. "I'm proud...of you...Yusuke," she said slowly, then closed her eyes forever. Yusuke screamed her name then held his mom in his arms, not saying a word. Kittara hugged Hiei and sobbed in his arms and he just stared at the dead body, actually feeling sympathy for the dead.

But at that moment, Kurama slammed Sapphire against and held a knife to her throat. She looked at him in fear, gasping as the knife pressed closer to her throat. But then, a whip lashed Kurama and they all turned around to see the real Kurama standing in the doorway, his piercing into the imposter's eyes. "This ends now...Rando," he whispered and the imposter changed into the demon Yusuke had defeated a long time ago. He laughed, pulled Sapphire in front of him and pressed the knife to her throat. "I thought I'd finished you a long time back in Spirit World, but I think your pathetic companions will enjoy your death and hers very much," he said with raging laughter and pressed the knife closer to Sapphire's throat.
