Chapter 4: The Test Ends
By InuShemeeko

"Shot Gun!"

"Yusuke wait!"

Akiko braced herself against Yusuke's attack the best she could. Koenma's sweat dropped as he watched both Yusuke's and Akiko's attack collide with one another. Both fighters were thrown backwards. Hiei, Kurama, and Kuwabara watched as Yusuke fell on one knee. Once the smoked had cleared the area one could see that both fighters had taken a beating. Yusuke's energy level had dropped his spirit energy barely flickered.

Koenma sighed, "Aw, great Yusuke has almost used up all his energy."

Kuwabara raised an eyebrow.

"Well doesn't that mean that Akiko has used up her energy too?"

Kurama shook is head.

"I'm afraid it does not. Akiko's spirit energy level is still much higher then that of Yusuke's."

Kuwabara blinked a few times.

"No way! You mean that Urameshi doesn't have anything left?"

Kurama shook his head slowly.

"I'm afraid not Kuwabara."

Kuwabara shook his head repeatedly.

"No way that impossible. Come on Urameshi!"

Hiei sneered as he watched the battle in front of him.

"The idiot didn't even try to read her before he attacked her. If he had he would have the upper hand. The fool, he's going to get himself killed."

Kurama couldn't hold back a smile when he heard what Hiei had just said.

"I believe Hiei that Yusuke doesn't mind rushing into battle. There are times when I see similar things between the two of you."

"Huh," was Hiei's only response as he turned away from Kurama.

* * ****

Akiko looked over at Yusuke she couldn't believe he was still standing. Well alive anyway. She felt his spirit energy level dropping. She would have to confess she didn't feel that swell either.

Yusuke stared over at Akiko. He noticed she was holding her right arm blood ran through her fingers.

'She's hurt. What am I saying she wiped the floor with me? Her spirit energy is a lot higher too.'

Akiko sighed as she relaxed her body. Koenma was going to kill her. She had promised not to use this technique.

'Hey, the boy fought a good fight. And this is the only way I can think of to repay him.'

**********

Koenma brow twisted up as he watched Akiko's stance.

"No, no, no she promised me she wouldn't use that technique."

Kurama, Hiei, and Kuwabara all turned to look at Koenma. Kurama's green eyes showed a deep worry as he looked at Koenma. He then spoke up.

"She's going to use her final attack isn't she?"

Koenma sighed, "Yes I'm afraid she is."

Kurama's eyes focused on Akiko worry showed deep within them. Hiei caught the worry in Kurama's eyes.

"You shouldn't worry about her to much Kurama. It makes you too human. I'm sure she will be just fine."

Kurama just couldn't help it. He knew what her last technique was capable of doing. It could either kill a person, or save them. Depending on what they held in their heart, their soul.

Yusuke's eyes widened as he watched the wind pick up as swirl around Akiko. Her bright white spirit energy swirled around her as the wind whipped around her.

"Cleansing Spirit!"

Akiko's spirit energy spread like wild fire around them. Before Yusuke could react he found himself inside the fire of white flames. Yusuke was sure he was about to die. However, the flames of this strange fire didn't burn him. They seemed to be soothing his aches and pains away. He then looked down at his chest only to see his wounds disappearing.

'No way, this is different. I never thought dying would be like this. At least it wasn't like this the last time I died.'

Suddenly the white flames exploded away from him. Yusuke blinked a few times.

"Ok, this is weird. Can someone tell me what just happened here?"

Koenma appeared suddenly beside of Yusuke.

"Akiko just gave you back all your energy is what just happened. And at the risk of her losing her life in doing so."

"What?", was the only thing he could say.

Kurama's heart froze as he looked across the field. He had to go to her; he had to make sure she was breathing.

TBC

Will Yusuke be ready for this new battle? And did Akiko give up all the energy she had left to heal Yusuke's injuries?
