In The End

Neko bit her lip. She growled at Kitarro. "Monster! How could you hurt him like that? I have a mind to rip the skin right off your back!" Kitarro smirked at Neko. "That's ok, Neko, you don't need to worry about me." Neko roared. "SHUT UP!" Hiei stood up straighter. "Now then, Kitarro," he got in his stance, "fight." Kitarro grinned and got into his stance. "That works." So they charged at each other, exchanging blow. Cling, clang, bang. The fight was intense.

Neko kept her eyes on Hiei. He was wounded... She really hoped he would be okay. She gulped. "Hiei..." she whispered. Hiei managed to get Kitarro on the ground with a really nice swing of the sword. He almost decapitated Kitarro, but he rolled over just barely missing that killing attack. "Crap." Neko said to herself.

Kitarro sheathed his sword. "Well, my fire youkai rival, it seems that I've underestimated you. You are quite skilled in fighting with a sword to save the woman you love. Tsk, too bad you can't have her." Hiei grinned and rolled his eyes. "You still don't get it. And here I thought Kuwabara was the dumbest being in existence." Kuwabara cocked his head. "What about me?" Kitarro narrowed his eyes. "So you're all brains?" Hiei laughed mockingly. "More brains than you."

Neko tried to keep herself from snickering at Hiei's comment. 'True that!' she thought. Kitarro simply growled. "Oh ha, ha, mister funny-man." Hiei stared Kitarro down. "Enough talk. Here's the game plan. I'll kill you, get my woman, and get out of this hell hole." Kitarro grabbed his sword. He and Hiei stared each other down. There was a long dramatic pause. DUN, DUN, DUUUUUN! Sorry. Anyway, there was a pause. Then it started. "GO!" shouted Kitarro. They charged at each other.

Hiei made sure that he didn't get himself hit anymore. For Neko. He stopped for a second. Kitarro looked at him confused. "Why have you stopped?" Neko wondered this, too. Hiei started to unwrap the bandage around his arm. "Neko, you might wanna move for this." Neko wasn't sure what Hiei was doing, but did as he asked. She ran and stood a few feet behind Hiei.

She watched as Hiei took the bandage off his arm. She gasped to see a black, dragon tattoo on his right arm. Kitarro looked at Hiei, still mystified. "What are you doing?" Hiei looked at Kitarro. "You'll find out personally." Neko got a knot in her stomach. She was getting really nervous.

"Dragon," Neko gulped, "of," Hiei began to sweat, "the," Kitarro raised and eyebrow, "Darkness," Neko covered her mouth, "FLAME!" Kitarro watched the dragon, wide-eyed, come full force at him. Kitarro yelled. "NOOOO!" The dragon attacked Kitarro, leaving him on the ground to within an inch of his life.

"So... fire demon... you win..." He sat up slightly. "However... if I... cannot have Neko..." Neko stared at Kitarro nervously, stepping backward slightly. "Back off, just back off Kitarro." Kitarro stood up limply. "If I... can't have her..." he drew his sword, "YOU CAN'T EITHER." Kitarro was too quick. No one could save her now. This was the end. Kitarro stabbed Neko threw the neck. He smiled in self-satisfactory, then fell to the ground with no more life. Neko looked at Hiei. "Hi..ei..."
