Chapter 8: Fight to the death

"Last person alive wins," Kurai said with a dark smile as she charged her opponent. Andrew just barely managed to get out of her way and tried to hit her in the back with his scythe. Kurai moved too fast for his eyes to follow and smashed him over the head, sending him to the ground. (Ouch.)

Kurai grinned as she held up her sword. She started muttering strange words and felt the magic flow through her veins comfortingly. She raised her sword in salute, only to find that Andrew wasn't there. She felt a sharp pain in her arm and looked around to see that Andrew had managed to escape and threw a dagger into her arm.

Andrew looked superior for a moment before he saw Kurai's eyes glow gold. 'Uh oh..... Not good, not good, not good!' He thought as he saw her spirit energy surround her, creating a gold-and-black veil around her. He looked up as he heard her laugh and saw that she was right above him with her sword.

Andrew moved to the side just in time to avoid a fatal blow, but his arm was badly injured. He glared at Kurai and growled. Kurai just laughed.

"Oh, is the little baby youkai supposed to be scary?" Kurai teased, grinning evilly. "If so, your not doing your job! Now go get someone to kill you and save me the time!"

Andrew growled louder at this and his spirit energy started to show as well. His was red with hints of silver running through it. He formed a ball in one of his hands and threw it at Kurai. She ducked and the ball went sailing over her head.

"That was pitifully simple," was all Kurai had time to say before the trees behind her exploded. "WHAT THE HLL?!?! YOU CAN MAKE BOMBS?!?!" Kurai screamed, looking behind her at what used to be part of the forest.

"Yep!" Andrew said, his confidence boosting. "TAKE THAT, KURAI!!"

The others (That were watching all this) sweat-dropped. Hiei even anime- fell and then shook his head as he got up. They then returned to watching the fight. Somehow or other, Kurai had managed to disable Andrew's left arm. He now held it in one hand while a large bomb was suspended in mid-air in front of him.

"So, whatcha gonna do with the ball?" Kurai asked, looking only slightly interested.

"I am going to kick it and it will break into millions of tiny bombs and you will not be able to dodge all of them at once! You will be blasted to pieces!" Andrew said, an insane gleam in his eyes.

"And I thought I was crazy, but no, you get the cake for that!" Kurai exclaimed, smiling slightly. "Oh, well. Looks like, if I do go down, I'll go down with a bang!" Kurai held her hands in Fire Gun position.

"Ready....Set....GO!" Andrew screamed as he kicked the blast as hard as he could. Kurai had a Fire Gun forming on her fingers.

"FIRE SHOT!" Kurai yelled as she let loose the power. It made millions of tiny darts that aimed directly at the bombs and blew them up about half way to Kurai. The following explosion was so big that the three watching were forced to duck for cover or be blown to Timbuktu.

When the smoke cleared, the three of them saw Kurai on the ground, only, she wasn't Kurai any more. She was back to Jenni. Jenni groaned and lifted her head.

Hiei was by her side in an instant. "How are you?" he asked gently.

"Did I... kill....Andrew?" Jenni asked, obviously using a lot of energy.

"Yes, you did. Now you just need to stay awake for a little while longer. No going to sleep yet," Hiei said, pulling one of her arms around his shoulder. "Come on, let's get inside."

Jenni shut her eyes and shook her head. "I'll... see ya... later, Hiei." Then she passed out. Kurama hurried over and the two boys carried Jenni inside and set her on her bed. Yukina healed her wounds, but didn't know if she'd come out of the coma.

'Please be alright,' Hiei thought to himself. 'Please. I.... I don't know what I'd do without you.' A single tear ran down his face and turned into a perfectly black tear gem. He set it on the bedside table by Jenni's head and flitted out the window.
