Yu Yu Hakusho is not mine
7) Unless
Kurama cried out as Yoko pinned him down. His entire presence was hungry. He was ravenous and his prey was down. He was going to feast on the weaker soul and assume ultimate power. But Kurama knew something. He could feel a trickle of dark flavored energy drip into him. He knew he had to buy time.
"Tell me something!" he screamed to the predator, "when did the planning start?"
Yoko eased up and thought. He was wild now, he had not the time to be civilized, but he wanted to gloat. The plan was so long in the making. He decided to divulge the story.
"When Karasu put his hands around your neck. He touched you for a mere second and it was then I asked him to let you kill him. I knew that you would use a plant to do it. I have played the fight out so many times. I knew you were terrified of him and that you would fall into an utter repose after killing him. But I knew that with the right help he could come back.
"Karasu talked to Bui and they formulated a plan. Hiei didn't really win that fight, Bui just needed to stay alive. Bui retrieve a seed from the plant that ate Karasu and cultivated that. When he was ready he set Karasu free again. I called to him. He came to me! I knew that in the initial shock of seeing him again you would be weakened. The first step through the door.
"As you were fighting him he hurt your body. You were barely alive when I made him stop and let you flee. My second foot was in the door and I just waited until you were far away from those you care for before I stepped into the light and dragged you back into the dark."
More time was needed. "You are terribly clever. I see that I could never win-" Yoko laughed again. True arrogance shone through and he didn't hear the last word of the sentence. Unless.
Now was the time. Kurama had all the energy from Hiei. He was the one that would be doing the consuming. From beneath he lunged at Yoko. The silver light was off guard. He flew backwards. Kurama was upon him before he could right himself and bit into the other soul.
.:Great, another cliffhanger. Bet you can't guess how to move on:.
