Kurama slept on, dead to the world, a very impatient and bored Hiei waiting for him to wake. "Kurama..." He growled. The fox, just simply refused to wake. Yusuke was standing there laughing, eating hid breakfast. At his side was Kuwabara.

Kuwabara, had made a quick recovery, but then again, he'd always been like that. He'd been a quick healer almost his whole life. Especially now fighting all the demons.

His leg was still bandaged up, being his worst injury. One of the blasts had nearly gone through his knee cap. Yusuke has smacked him around a bit as well, as soon as he woke up. Mali found this interesting, Kuwabara just found it painful.

"Why don't you kick him?" Kuwabara suggested.

Hiei glared at him, "Like I'd take advice from you..."

Kuwabara glared at him, and Hiei bent down covering Kurma's mouth and nose.

"You know that could kill him..." Yusuke said eyebrows raised. The tactic worked, and Kurama sprang up gasping for air, his friends laughing their heads off.

"Kuwabara!" he gasped

Kurama smiled. "It's good to see you. Are you feeling better?" Before Kuwabara could answer, Kurama smacked Hiei in the shin, the demon swearing, and holding his leg.

Kuwabara smiled and replied, "Much better, you know me, I'm invincible!"

"Your just lucky." Hiei hmphed.

"OH YEA-" Before Kuwabara's sentence was finished, right in the center of their group, an energy bomb the size of a football was dropped. They all went flying in different directions.

The battle had begun.

Kuwabara went flying crashing into a group of demons. He had gone momentarily deaf, and held his ears, eyes wide. A blue demon woman, with webbed fingers came over to him. She stroked his face soothingly, to calm him down, as all sorts of attacks crashed over their heads.

Yusuke had been flung high in the air, and crashed into the food crates, shattering them, his arms bleeding, as well as his leg. "Dam*...no ones gonna this food...." He joked before passing out.

Kurama and Hiei had been flung into the trench, and looked up. "They're using those dam*ed Venom beasts!" Hiei swore. Kurama dropped his head back down, and his eyes went wide. "GIRL MOVE!"

Hiei looked down and saw a girl, maybe 12 or 13 look at Kurama. "What?" As soon as that word came out of her mouth, another energy bomb fell from the sky on top of her. Their was a twisted scream, and the sound of crackling skin.

"Oh God!" Hiei and Kurama scurried to her, and starred at the body. It was nothing but a charred corpse. It didn't even look human. A demon approached eyes wide, body shaking.

"Candy...CANDY?!" The demon kept trying to touch her, but couldn't bring himself to do it. Kurama grabbed his shoulder, looking at the man with sympathy. The demon swallowed down the lump lodged in his throat and He picked up the corpse. He marched slowly to the medical section, Kurama and Hiei noticing several people with bodies like the girl's, being brought over there.

"Hiei we got to kill those things!" Kurama growled, and he began shooting upwards. There were others doing the same thing, so he was not alone in this task. "Kurama look there!" Hiei pointed upwards and Kurama gasped at what he saw.

Yusuke and a young girl had swiped the Furry Dragons and rode into the sky, attacking the Venom monsters and the riders.

"Da*mit! He so fu*king rash!" Hiei swore angrily.

~*~*~

Kuwabara meanwhile stood side by side with the demon girl, named Tanee, and fight by her side. Kuwabara had gotten his hearing back, and fired away at the demons.

A cold shiver ran down his spine, and he quickly looked up. He grabbed Tanee and flung himself back, a s a red angry blast fell from the sky. He protected the girl, as they rolled around, finally coming to a stop when they crashed into an older man.

"Are you all right?!" He cried shocked. He lifted the younger man up, as well as Tanee. "Yeah...I'm gonna puke but I'm okay!" Kuwabara wheezed.

He looked up and his heart stopped as he saw Yusuke up in the sky. "Oh man..." He turned his head back to two behind him, "My friend is up there...gotta go!" Kuwabara took of following his best friend's path in the sky.

If Yusuke needed help, he'd be there.

In the air Yusuke cursed as more and more demons came. The more you killed, the faster they came. "Hey guy!" He turned to see the girl. She had short black hair, that barely went past her ears, and blue eyes.

"Your Dragon's injured! Get him fixed up, or he'll drop from the sky like a stone."

"Thanks, I'll be back as soon as I can."

She smiled, and waved her hand, "Don't worry I can ta-" She was silenced as a square shaped blast went through her gut. "Well...I...I guess I ca...can't take care...take care of myself." She smiled, and toppled over sideways, spiraling downwards towards the ground.

Yusuke grabbed his Dragon's ears and direct the great white beast to go downwards. He caught the girl, and she starred up at him. She would blink and her eyes would be fine, blink again and they were dead.

"Find...Find Mace...Tell him..." She cried out as blood spurted further out her gut. "Tell him...Krist...Kristy..."

"I'll tell him you fought hard as you sleep this off." Kristy smiled, she shook her head, knowing the only sleep she'd be getting would be permanent, She whispered, "I want to go home Guy...I want to go home." She smiled sadly tears rolling down her face, and the bitter sad smile froze on her lips.

Yusuke looked at the ground, as the dragons began to hum a strange beautiful melody...something he'd heard before....

He exchanged Dragon's with the girl, and placed Kristy on the injured demon. "Take her down." The Dragon understood and took off downwards. Yusuke looked down at the furry dragon, and whispered, "Lets get them...Lets get them for your master.

The elegant, beautiful beast roared, and they were immediately in battle.

After several hours the sky was clear, and the fighting slowly beginning to stop.

Yusuke was drenched with sweat, and his eyes felt heavy. He held onto the fur of the beast, he was afraid he'd topple over. But that was the least of his worries. Something cut though his side, and he screamed.

Craning his neck he saw a demon headed right for him. Yusuke's Dragon was unable to turn around fast enough, and Yusuke's eyes widened as the large blast raced for him.

Without a warning, an orange tipped lengthy blast went through the demon's head destroying him. Yusuke looked down and saw Kuwabara waving. Yusuke flew down to yelling distance and shouted, "YOU PIECE OF CRAP!"

"YOU NEED TO WATCH YOU HIDE URAMESHI! IT ALMOST GOT BLOWN OFF!"

The two were both smiling. Yusuke smirked, "WATCH YOUR OWN DUMB HIDE!"

Kuwabara didn't respond as he took aim at another demon who snuck up behind Yusuke. Yusuke turned to see it blow to bits, and then turned back. Yusuke saw Kuwabara still had his hand raised, and just as he was going to lower it, a blast cut through his arm at the joint.

"KUWABARA!!!"

Kuwabara's eyes had gone wide, as a ribbon of blood shot out his arm. The ribbon wrapped around the earth, around people, around clothes, and around his arm. Lastly it wrapped around his face.

The only thing keeping his arm attached, was the muscle and skin of his arm that it hung on. He fell over, and a demon rushed over to Kuwabara, keeping his arm connected to his body.

Many others came over, and Kuwabara looked up at Yusuke.

Even from this height, Yusuke could see the smile of reassurance.

"NOOOOO!! KUWABARA!!" Just as Yusuke began to guide the dragon down, he felt something sharp hit his head, and he went limp.

His body and mind falling into total darkness.
