Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN IT!

To FoxylilRaven: As for Biology, I just got done studying cells (I snored a lot...) and I am now on Photosynthesis and that other thing that is the exact opposite of photosynthesis (please excuse my brain). As for your other best subjects, English I am good at (just so you know) and I am not taking history. Two less things for me to worry about. Here is the next chappie! You deserve a cookie...just for being a great reviewer!

To Treesquirrel15: Well...that means my dad was wrong...(I had to ask him what the flail was, and he said mace.) Ehe...I will call it a flail from now on...Arigatou for the information. As soon as I get home I will yet at Otou-san...

To IY and YYH lover: I'm trying, but I can only write a chapter a week and I try my best to get them long. YOU TRY MULTI-TASKING AND HIDING FROM THE TEACHER! Sorry...a little grouchy with this...I would update longer and more often but first I have to get my Biology grade up...and I have only one week...You also commented on Dark Team Higuro I believe. Well...that story is not one of my top priorities and I'm trying to get this fiction done with, then I'll work on my three other fics. How does that sound?


The Switch

Chapter Thirty-One: Skeleton

Hiei had been listening to Yusuke and Kurama discuss Kagome and Keiko for a while now. It seemed like they wouldn't be able to stop worrying about it. Quite frankly, it was starting to annoy him. Kuwabara was much the same, fretting over Yukina. Did he forget already that Yukina was his sister, and shouldn't be talking about her in front of him?

"Would you two baka's shut up before you give me a damn migrane?" Hiei growled. Kurama and Yusuke stopped and looked at him, both slightly amused.

"You wouldn't be saying that if you had a girl to worry about." Yusuke shrugged. "I don't know who'd be interested in you, but hey. Chicks are known to be crazy." Kurama bit back a laugh.

"We should continue. I believe all of these corridors lead to the same place. We must catch up with the others." Kurama started to walk, with Kuwabara and Yusuke following him. Hiei stayed where he was.

"Hn." He vanished, and a breeze passed by the three that were previously in front of him.

"Seems he went on ahead."

Somewhere

"Well, most of us are here." Inuyasha grumbled. "Kagome, you do realize how slow those Reikai Tentei are...don't you?" Kikyou frowned disapprovingly at Yusuke.

"I wouldn't say that if I were you." Hiei's voice came from behind Inuyasha, who jumped and turned around.

"Don't do that you little runt!" Inuyasha shouted. Hiei just gave a 'Hn.'

"Well, it seems...the majority of you are here." A cold, haunting voice that made everyone's hair's stand on end (as for Hiei...umm...his stood even more on end than usual).

"NARAKU!" Inuyasha shouted. "COME ON OUT YOU BASTARD!" That voice, obviously Naraku, laughed. A purple mist started to flow from all directions, all heading towards the center of the dead courtyard ahead of them. The mist swirled, and a dark figure developed in the center. When the mist cleared, everyone was taken aback.

Half of Naraku was skeleton. Limp pieces of skin clung to his face, and his eye socket was dark, with blood running down it. He had very thin hair on his skeleton side, and most of it was matted with blood so you couldn't tell his hair color.

"I...am going...to hurl." Tessa twitched. Just about everyone agreed. No matter how many battles they had been through...this was absolutely atrocious.

"He's already half dead...this can't be so hard..." Inuyasha growled, drawing out the Tetsaiga. Naraku chuckled darkly.

"Never judge a book by its cover," Naraku taunted, causing Inuyasha to start growling deeply "and never underestimate your executioner!" Naraku raised his hand on his skeleton side and made a motioning movement. More purple mist appeared, and thousands of dark figures appeared.

"What did I tell ya...the bastard can't even fight his own battles." Kouga growled. He wished for nothing more than to have his shikon shards back in his legs at this moment, but knew that it was now impossible.

"Hiei...where's Yusuke?" Kagome asked, not even looking at the fire youkai.

"And Kurama?" Keiko added.

"Hn. They were slow." Hiei shrugged. "I wasn't about to wait for them."

Shizuru couldn't help but smirk a bit. "Maybe they'll make an action here entrance...the good kind."

"Without the speeches." Botan agreed.

"They better hurry up...we will need all of the help we can get." Yukina murmured, though nobody heard her. The army in front of them finally materialized. "Especially for..."

End of Chappie

TYN: I KNOW IT'S SHORT...but I'm saving the longer chapters for things...like the battle...which...I am happy to say...will be quite a few chapters long...I hope.

Yusuke: FINALLY! A BATTLE!

TYN: You're not there yet, DIMWIT!

Yusuke: I AM NOT A DIMWIT!

TYN: YES YOU ARE!

Yusuke: NO I'M NOT!


TYN: YES YOU ARE BECAUSE THE LITTLE PEOPLE LIVING UNDER THE MUSHROOMS AND GENKAI SAY YOU ARE! NOW SAY YOU'RE LINE!

Yusuke: ...read and review while I hunt down Genkai and the little people living under the mushrooms.

TYN: ...that's suicidal. But he's already hunting...so I won't tell him.
