Yes indeed the answer is The Nightmare Before Christmas!!!! Nice job everyone!!!! And here

is your prize. . .(reaches into magic bag). . .ANIME PIES!!!!!!!!!!! Now which one do you want?

I've got Kurama (strawberry), Jin (cherry), Touya (blueberry), Sazuka (lemon), and Kinno

(peach). I personally enjoy blackberry. Mmmmm. . .Hiei flavored. ----- I'm so weird. But you

love me anyway, and I love you all as well and that's why I've come to you on a bended knee

bearing youkai pies and chapter 5. Hey that rhymed! And on that note, I suppose we should get

on with the story. ENJOY! :)

P.S. Happy - Happy - Chan I hope you had fun at camp, and even though you failed to tell me

you were leaving, I missed you anyway. :) (at least silvery kitsune MENTIONS that she's going

away!) J/k. I LOVE YOU HAPPY - HAPPY - CHAN!

I do not own jin and touya nor yu yu hakusho (Yay it's ready!)

##############################################################################

Touya stumbled down the narrow street that led out from Daisuki's central gate. He had

already been made weak as a result of Sazuka's mental drain, but giving up the last of his you-ki

made him feel as though he were completely empty. . .as though he were dead. But that hardly

mattered. He had a mission now, and that was to find Jin and help him through whatever it was

he was suffering from. That was what he had always been ment to do. It wouldn't take long to

find the wind master Touya knew, fore he always returned to the same place whenever something

troubled him. It was a place Jin had known for a very long time, though he scarcely talked of it

to anyone and it was one that in truth held all the secrets of his past. It was the wind master's

home, the place where he had learned to raise himself all those years ago, and it provided

comfort for him the likes of which Touya could never give. And that was where the master of ice

was headed. . .to the highest peaks of the Ayame Mountains.

!#$%&()

Hiei knew he was getting close to where he would find his beloved Kurama, he could

smell it. The fox had his own, very distinct odor, a musty smell that reeked of masculinity but

that was not unlike his rose covered scent in his human form. They were both equally beautiful

and fitted the kitsune's personalities perfectly. DON'T WORRY KURAMA I'LL FIND YOU.

He looked up towards the Ayame Mountains. I'LL FIND YOU. . .

!#$%&()

The ice demon knew that without the use of his you-ki he would be powerless, but he had

not realized how many youkai would then be willing to fight. He had been traveling about 6

hours and had reached the base of the trail that would lead him to where he would find his

shinobi partner, when a large, rather putrid looking youkai had spotted him and thought him the

perfect target to fuel his thirst for blood. "SO LITTLE DEMON YOU THOUGHT YOU

COULD TRESPASS ON MY MOUNTAIN AND GET AWAY WITH IT DID YOU?" The

creature stretched perhaps 20 ft. tall and it's grumbling voice seemed to bellow and echo through

the entire forest. It had pasty blue skin covered in scales that gave off the appearance of armor

rather than flesh and the sharpened claws located at the base of toe and hand would have been

enough to send any youkai running for his life. But that was not all that made the demon giant

foreboding. Atop the massive head rested 3 mammoth white horns that gleamed brilliantly as the

sun shone upon them along with several smaller horns spaced at different intervals along the

skull. But perhaps most horrific of all were the 5 rows of teeth that lined not only the inside of

the creatures mouth, but along the inside of the throat as well.

"I HAVE NOT HAD THE INTENTION OF TRESPASSING, BUT I MUST USE THIS

ROAD IN ORDER TO GET TO WHERE I MUST. PLEASE ALLOW ME ACCESS AND I

WILL FOREVER BE IN YOUR DEBT!"

"AND WHAT IS IT THAT YOU MUST DO ON MY MOUNTAIN?"

"THAT IS MY BUSINESS."

"THEN YOU SHALL NOT PASS."

"THEN I SHALL GO THROUGH YOU BY FORCE!"

"HA HA HA HA. DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH! DO YOU THINK I CANNOT SEE

WHAT YOU ARE? YOU ARE NOTHING! THERE ISN'T ENOUGH YOU-KI IN YOU TO

PUNCTURE ON OF MY SCALES. HELL, YOU'RE EVEN BLIND! HOW DO YOU

POSSIBLY EXPECT TO WIN?"

"EYES AND LEVEL OF POWER ARE NOT THE SOLE PREDICTORS OF BATTLE!

THE SKILL OF THE WARRIOR MUST ALSO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION AND

FOR THAT YOU MUST NOT COUNT ME OUT!"

"HA HA HA, YOU SPEAK SOME VERY WISE WORDS LITTLE ONE BUT TELL

ME. . .WHAT GOOD IS SKILL," He reached down and plucked the blue haired youkai between

his thumb and forefinger, "IF YOU CANNOT MOVE TO USE IT?" The monstrous demon

brought the former shinobi close to his face, dangling him in front of his yellowish eyes and just

inches above his open mouth.

"I PROMISE YOU PAIN THE LIKES OF WHICH YOU HAVE NEVER FELT IF YOU

DO NOT RELEASE ME NOW! I HAVE NO QUARREL WITH YOU, I ONLY WISH TO BE

ON MY WAY!"

"HA HA HA HA, AGAIN YOU MAKE ME LAUGH LITTLE ONE! I SUPPOSE I

COULD LET YOU GO, SEEING AS HOW YOU'RE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT

TRAVELING UP MY MOUNTAIN. FINE THEN, OFF YOU G. . ." He stopped in mid word as

he squinted at the ice demon. He seemed to have come to a sudden realization and his eyes

widened to almost double in size. "HEY WAIT A MINUTE. . .I KNOW YOU! YOU'RE

TOUYA, THE MASTER OF ICE!"

"YES, I AM TOUYA! SO YOU MUST KNOW OF MY REPUTATION AS A

SHINOBI!"

"A SHINOBI!!!!!!!!!!!" His voice roared over the entire makai and the mountain shook

with the tremendous force. "A SHINOBI ON MY MOUNTAIN!!!!!!!!!" The demon swung his

wrist and shot the ice master away from him. The sheer force of the toss caused Touya to fly

straight through several trees finally landing back first against the flat side of a large boulder. "IT

WAS THE SHINOBI THAT KILLED MY FAMILY AND FORCED US TO LIVE IN THESE

DAMN CAVES!!!!!!" He again picked up the master of ice and threw him in the opposite

causing the same series of events to happen again as Touya was sent flying through the forest.

"YOU BUTCHERED MY FATHER, SLAUGHTERED MY PREGNANT MOTHER, AND

EVEN WENT AS FAR AS TO KILL MY SISTER AND WE DID NOTHING TO YOU!!!!!!!

YOU ARE THE WORST OF ALL YOUKAI! KILLING THOSE YOU PERCEIVE TO BE

EVIL BY YOUR OWN IMMORAL STANDARDS!!!!!!!" And again Touya was lifted from the

ground, only this time he resumed his original position, hanging just above the youkai's open

jaw. "I WILL NOT LET MY FAMILY'S DEATH BE IN VAIN! KILLING YOU MAY NOT

BE ABLE TO BRING THEM BACK BUT AT LEAST I CAN PREVENT YOU FROM

HARMING ANY MORE INNOCENT DEMONS!!!!!" He held the ice master higher above his

mouth ready to at any moment drop the former shinobi and be forever rid of him. And it was

something he was happy to do.

Touya struggled against the demon's grasp, but it was too tight. There was no way he

could escape, he was just too weak and soon it would all be over. He could feel the monster's

hot breath on his skin, and his heart raced as he felt the icy touch of death upon him. A touch

colder than any ice he could ever form. I'VE GOT TO GET AWAY! I'VE JUST GOT TO!

JIN, HE NEEDS ME! I'VE GOT TO HELP HIM! I'VE GOT TO. . . And the ice master fell,

his body seeming to be caught in slow motion as it dropped to its untimely demise. But when he

landed, he found himself not only dazed, but very much. . .alive! He was on his back, and could

feel below him the hardness of the mountain soil, while above him he could hear his captor

scream and retch in agony. Touya had no idea what was going on and he tried to sit up, but it

was of no use. Every bone in his demon body screamed in protest, and he was forced to lye still

as the events he could not see went on around him. After what seemed like hours, the moans and

shrieks finally ended and were replaced by another sound, one that was very familiar to the

former shinobi. It was the rare, yet unmistakable sound. . .of sword being drawn from flesh.

"Hn. Another fine mess you've gotten yourself into. You would think that a shinobi

would know better. . .not that you've shone that you're all that competent to begin with." Touya

recognized that monotone voice instantly. It was that of the youkai whom had aided him in Jin's

recovery, and whom had rescued him once before from Risho's palace. It was the voice of one

whom had seem many grave things in his life, and whom had lived through even more. It was

the voice of absolute darkness. It was Hiei.

"Hiei. . .thank. . .you."

"I don't need your thanks. Can you stand?"

A deep moan was Touya's only reply. "I said, can you stand?" This time, no sound came

forth from the ice demon, and as Hiei walked towards him, he feared that the encounter had been

all too much for the weakened warrior to take. Not that it would have mattered to him if the

frozen youkai died, but the fact remained that Touya always seemed to know exactly where the

wind master was located, and the fire demon could have used that to his advantage. But to his

slight relief, Touya's body still held a slight life force enough so that he would live for perhaps

another 2 hours. PERFECT, Hiei thought. NOW THAT FLYING BASTARD WILL KNOW

EXACTLY HOW IT FEELS. IF HE'S HARMED KURAMA IN ANY WAY THEN TOUYA

WILL BE THE FIRST TO TASTE MY REVENGE. He reached down, picked up the fallen

youkai and once again began his quest for the wind master, traveling faster than any demon could

perceive. "Damn," The fire demon said as he shivered slightly from the ice master's frosty

embrace. "Why'd it have to be ice? I hate the cold. . ."

Sooooooooooo, wud ya think? Come on, you can tell me. We're friends aren't we? Come on,

tell me! Come on! Please? Fine! Then I take back my pie! Oh no! Don't cry! I'm sorry!

Here, you can have it back. Now, which one was it again? Come on, you can tell me. We're

friends aren't we? ------ this could take a while. In the mean time, I hope you enjoyed chapter 5

and I can't wait to show you all chapter 6! I just can't believe how fast I'm putting these up. It's

like one every 2 days! Just don't get used to it. Remember that writer's block is a serious

problem that can strike at any time and I'm long over due for another attack. (Looks paniced) I

just hope it doesn't happen soon because I've got some big events coming up and I want to get

them out there without a hitch. So until we meet again at chapter 6, have a happy day! :)
