Part Nine: The Battle.

Yusuke's mind was spinning as Genkai and Botan filled him in on the situation. "So Kurama was just protecting his family, what is so wrong about that?" Yusuke asked keeping his pace steady as the group slowly neared King Enma's castle.

"That is not the reason why King Enma was so bent on condemning Kurama," Genkai said. "Kurama's father was a legendary dog demon that gained control of the western lands; his mother was one of Inari's nine daughters. With that sort of demonic heritage, Kurama is one of the few demons that could throw King Enma off of his throne," Genkai said.

"So why is Kurama only classified as an 'A' class demon?" Yusuke demanded.

"Because Kurama hasn't been able to find his full power yet. He hasn't been able to tap into the power his father passed down to him," Botan said.

"Why?" Kuwabara asked gasping to keep up.

"Because our father trapped his demonic power inside of an object to keep it in control. He did the same thing with Inuyasha and Tetsusaiga. If that object is broken, then the demonic power will be released," Sesshomaru explained.

Yusuke fell silent as he contemplated the new information.

"Get ready, they are coming," Inuyasha yelled stopping and allowing Kagome to get off of his back.

Yusuke stopped and stared at the group of warriors heading towards them.

"They aren't demons. They are entities like Botan," Hiei said putting Yukina down, where he studied his opponent.

""Damn, that means that the wind scar wont work," Sesshomaru muttered pulling out Tokijin.

"The wind scar?" Yusuke asked looking at the older dog demon.

"The wind scar is created when demonic winds collide. If the Tetsusaiga cuts through it, it unleashes an attack that can destroy thousands of demons in one stroke. But the attack is useless against humans, and deities like them," Genkai said pointing at the army of spirit world detectives that were slowly getting closer to them.

"It's a pity, and attack like that could bring us a huge advantage," Botan pointed out getting off of her oar next to Miroku and Sango.

"Wait," Yusuke said his eyes glowing thoughtfully. "All we need to do is create a demon enemy that will provide the contradicting demonic wind right?" Yusuke asked making eye contact with Hiei.

Hiei's eyes widened in understanding before he flickered in front of the group.

"No, this attack will kill him," Inuyasha protested understanding instantly what Yusuke and Hiei had planned.

"Don't worry, Hiei is too fast to be hit by that attack," Genkai said smiling proudly at Yusuke's rare show of intelligence.

"Very well," Inuyasha said pulling out Tetsusaiga and getting into position. Next to him, Sesshomaru followed his movements.

In a mighty war cry, the two brothers unleashed the attack.

King Enma raced toward his look out tower in time to see as a huge explosion erupted right on the borders of the castle grounds. When the light faded, King Enma saw to his horror that half of his elite soldiers were destroyed.


"No!" King Enma's voice bellowed through the lands, before he took off toward the battle.

Inuyasha opened his golden eyes, and slowly digested the destruction of his and Seshomaru's joint attack.

"Impressive."

Inuyasha spun around feeling relief as he saw Hiei's small form standing casually to the side with a smirk on his face.

"Good, now we actually stand a chance," Genkai said giving the group a proud smile before she charged at the remaining survivors.

Without needing a command, the group took off. Yusuke used his shot gun and other energy attacks, while Kuwabara slashed away like crazy with his spirit sword. Hiei was a blur as he attacked fiercely with his Katana. Inuyasha swung Tetsusaiga a slashed with his claws, while Sesshomaru chose to fight with Tokijin. Miroku used his wind scar, while Sango fought riding on Kirara's back. Genkai fought with the group for awhile, before she turned back, and defended Yukina, Kagome, and Botan.

"We did it!" Kuwabara yelled as the last of King Enma's men fell to the ground.

"Fool, you still have to face me," a booming voice yelled in outrage before King Enma's enormous form stepped into the battle field.

"No problem, I'll kill you, that way Kurama will never have to worry about you again," Sesshomaru said glaring at the God in hate.

King Enma laughed joyfully before his eyes narrowed on the dog demon. "Don't worry about that. Kurama will never have to worry about me again. I have taken care of it myself," King Enma announced.

"What do you mean?!" Inuyasha demanded pointing Tetsusaiga at the giant's heart.

King Enma's grin spread before he pulled out an object out of his pocket, and held it up for everybody to see.

"No!" Botan yelled when she saw the blood covered Shikon jewel.

"Kurama is dead, and soon you will join him," King Enma announced taking the jewel, and forcing it into his chest.
