Ellen: Well, all you sadists, I hope you're happy with this ending. I
get depressed every time I read it!
Fwooshy: Finally you are humbled!
Ellen: Shut up.

own Yu Yu Hakusho. And it's a good thing too, if it turns out like
this ending!
"Let the final battle of the Dark Tournament, Nerua Teraf versus Sakyo, begin!" Everyone in the crowd is especially excited to watch us duke it out. Sakyo seems frozen to where he stands. I look around for inspiration as to which attack to begin the battle with, for I have no idea of the powers at Sakyo's disposal; I mean, I can't sense any spirit energy coming from him, but he could be able to mask it like the Toguros. As soon as I take my eye off of my opponent, however, I sense a mass of Spirit energy draining from the crowd into Sakyo.
"Hahaha," Sakyo crows. "Judging by your blank expression, you were previously unaware of my powers, weren't you? I can mask my Spirit energy, and I can also drain the life force of other living beings, especially demons, and steal their special powers. For example..." he points to a demon in the audience, "that unfortunate soul is most adept at controlling water. He can form rain from just the moisture from someone's sweat. That demon over there can manipulate a person's brainwave patterns and control their every action. And now..." Sakyo reaches out his hands to the audience members, and closes his eyes for a moment, and when he opens them, my opponent finishes his sentence. "...so can I." Sakyo mutters a few incoherent syllables, moves his hands around, and suddenly, my head feels like it is splitting open. Malecasu and I try to rush him, but all of a sudden, we freeze in our tracks, and sink to our knees, clutching my head in pain.
'All right,' Malecasu thinks. 'I believe that it's time.'
'Time for what? Malecasu, you can't be thinking of...'
'Yes. It is time that I fulfilled my purpose for being born into this world. That is the only way that we can defeat our opponent.'
'B-b-but... our friends will all be-'
'Saved. You will warn them now. Let me know when you are ready.'
I painfully struggle to my feet, and fight Sakyo's increasing power to reach the edge of the arena where everyone is standing. "Leave. All of you have to get out of here! Malecasu... Malecasu will... do it... her finishing move... Goodbye..." I whisper to the team. They stare at me for a second, then when they realize that I am serious, Yusuke and Kuwabara make a dash for the exits, probably thinking, 'Every man for himself!'; Botan drags Keiko, Shizuru, and Yukina with her. Hiei, knowing that he stands no chance, coolly follows their suit shortly afterwards, but not without a last glance at Malecasu.
'You know, you will survive this,' Malecasu tells me. 'Susanoo may have hated humans, but he was grateful to the ones that bore the Rainer Demons. He let the human host of the Rainer Demon survive as the type of animal that the demon resembled. You will be the only being living within a two- mile radius, however.' It is then that I notice that Kurama, Sakura, and Mitsky had stayed put.
"Guys, what are you doing? You need to leave now! Malecasu and Sakyo are getting impatient, and everything within a two-mile radius of this stadium will be annihilated! You need to tell the others to get as far away from here as possible!" When I see that they aren't moving, I start to get desperate. "I'll be all right! Do I have to teleport you myself?" I would have started to cry long ago, but tears were not something Susanoo needed his Rainer Demons to experience.
Sakura sighs. "Nerua... Malecasu... thank you for everything... Okay. I don't think we have enough time to get away by ourselves, so you'd better do it."
"Wait!" Kurama runs up to the arena, grimacing as he feels Sakyo's power. "Isn't there anything that I can do?"
"No, Kurama. I can't allow myself to let you get hurt. I'll see you later. Look for a fox that seems to know you. That'll be me. ...Goodbye," I say to the three as they disappear.
'All right, Malecasu. Let's get rid of this guy.'
'Finally! I was starting to think that I should have brought a magazine!'
'And Malecasu...'
'Yes?'
'Thank you for everything. I think we make a good team, you and I.'
'Me too.'
We turn our attention back to Sakyo. He actually has a magazine, but he tosses it aside when he sees that we are finally ready to fight.
"It's about time, you two. What's all this about annihilation? And where did your teammates go? Did they desert you?" he asks mockingly. Malecasu chuckles dryly.
"Ha. Sakyo... Do you not recognize what I am?"
Sakyo seems in denial. "No, you couldn't be... they all die at birth... I thought you were just bluffing," he stammers as we loom over him.
"I'll say it one final time: Goodbye." And the world around us is no more.
When I come to my senses again, I stand up, but it isn't quite like I remembered it. For one thing, I am only about a foot off the ground at full height, and for another, I have four legs! I suppose that I am really a fox, but where am I? I look around, and it all seems vaguely familiar to me, but when I gaze upon the four-mile wide crater behind me, I realize that I am still on Hanging-Neck Island. The trees around me rustle, and everyone comes out from where they had been hid- er, bracing themselves. As soon as I spy Kurama, I race over to him and rub against his leg while looking up at him with my crystal blue eyes.
"Nerua?" He stoops down and picks me up while everybody else crowds around. "Oh Nerua..."
Kurama brings me back to our town, and carries me deep into the forest, to the clearing where we had first gotten to know each other. The others had offered to help us, but we just need some time alone. He sets me down on the ground, and sits down himself.
"Nerua? Can you...will you speak to me?" Kurama speaks quietly, almost as if someone might hear him.
Yes, Kurama, but I can only communicate telepathically. You must leave me now, and don't worry about my sake. Go on, live your life without me. A guy can't love a fox. My voice was projected directly into Kurama's mind. (A/N: Where it says "<" should be "". I don't know what's wrong!)
"Don't forget, I'm still a demon too. There must be some way to change this!" Tears well in Kurama's eyes, and stain his shirt dark as they fall. He pounds his fists onto his knees, and gazes at me lovingly, still crying.
No, Kurama. It's my destiny. I walk away, and am about to begin to look for a den, but before I can take three steps into the trees, my side above my right front leg is pierced by a bullet, and I am thrown, about two feet farther away, to the ground.
AAH!!
The two hunters who had fired at me run up to me, and squat down to inspect their prize, not noticing Kurama or my scream.
"Wow. Now that's a pelt!" one of them exclaims.
"Yeah," replied the other, "it's sure to bring a fine price! Imagine, a fox like this just wandering around the forest! Ahahahahaha! Musta' been somebody's pet - huh?" Kurama had come up behind the two, and put his hand on the second hunter's shoulder. The men turn, and stare into the... er, face... of Kurama's death plant.
"That fox wasn't just a pet." Kurama steps away from the two with tears still on his cheeks. His voice trembles. "Now both of you will pay for taking her life!! Go, my Death plant!" It doesn't take long for the death plant to feed once again.
Kurama sprints over to my side, picks me up, and holds me to his chest.
"Nerua!!! No..."
His body heaves with sobs as he cradles the limp form of his love. Suddenly, my body glows, emits a bright light, and grows into my human body, still injured on my right shoulder. I slowly open my eyes, and tears begin to flow down my cheeks, splashing onto Kurama's knees. I am unable to speak above a whisper.
"K-Kurama... you know... I'll... always love you...Unh..." I close my eyes, grimacing with pain as much blood momentarily flows from my wound. My breathing slows, and a wan smile flickers across my lips, before I take my last breath.
Kurama raises his head to the heavens. "NERRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..."
A Rainer demon is slain.
Ellen: *Sigh*... Fwooshy, I hate you.
Fwooshy: ^__^ I know. Heehee! It was pretty sad though.
Ellen: You mean it was good?
Fwooshy: ...Yes... But don't go getting all high and mighty!
Ellen: Fine.
Cheddar: Even though the story is over, we'd still love reviews!
