Thanks for all who reviewed. I know some people might not have understood the last chapter. Mostly... It was a waist. I am only trying to waist time so I am making up stupid things... Sorry, this will most likely be the last useless chapter...

Chapter sixteen: Lupin Stop this!
Kurama's POV
I turned from Hiei and looked over to Lupin. He was smiling evilly and I began to wonder if he was ok. Forgetting about it I soon turned back to see Hiei getting slapped again by Hermione. I smiled slightly and wondered if I should tell her to stop. 'Oh well. To bad for Hiei.' I thought as a bell sounded making it so the fight has started. Turning toward Lupin I saw he was already lunging for me. Sighing, I easily dodged his attack. He tried over and over with no avail.
"Lupin, your wasting your energy here," I said. Lupin grunted and lunged toward me again and caught me up against a wall.
"I don't care my little fox pet," he whispered harshly in my ear. When he backed away I saw malice glinting in his eyes. I gasped. 'Lupin isn't in control here!' I thought as I dodged a roundhouse kick.
"Shadow?" I called in anger. Lupin turned to face me, his eyes showing hurt and anger at once. 'It can't be!' I thought as I fought to hide my anger. Watching, I saw Lupin lunge toward me again and throw a left punch. I dodged the punch but got hit by his following left leg. "Ugh!"
Slowly I fell to the ground and held my stomach. 'He is a hell of a lot stronger than he looks!' I thought as I turned to face him. 'Or maybe it is just that Shadow makes him stronger. But then Yara and Kuroune would have been stronger as well and they weren't...'
"Get up..." Lupin growled. Slowly I obeyed his order. Once on my feet, Lupin punched me hard in the chin and sent me fling backward. Grunting as I hit the ground, I turned to see what happened to Lupin. He stood on the other side of the ring. Again, I got to my feet and watched as Lupin lunged toward me. Dodging quickly to the floor, I was able to fit right between his legs and slid out behind him. Turning faster then the human eye could see, I caught Lupin with a large roundhouse kick right in the back of the head and sent him to the ground. A gasp ran over the crowd as I flipped away from the floored werewolf. He didn't seem to happy about being thrown to the ground.
"Shadow, let Lupin go!" I called in hopes of getting Shadow to come out and fight himself. I would treat Lupin like a normal fighter, but to get rid of Shadow, I only knew of two ways. One was to get Shadow to leave himself and two... Kill both Lupin and Shadow. That one I really didn't want to do. 'Wait! Hiei and the Jagan!' I thought as I turned slightly to see Hiei rubbing some sore spots on his head. 'Yeah! Hiei can possibly force Shadow out of Lupin without killing Lupin!'
"Ha, why let this mortal go?" called Lupin. I looked over. "Want to know one thing about me? I can control all aspects of whom I control. For example, if I take over a shape shifter, I can turn into whatever it wants. If I take over a werewolf, I can change into a werewolf whenever I want unlike the person or thing itself."
"Don't you dare," I growled but it was to late for Shadow had already forced Lupin to change into his werewolf form. 'KUSO! Kuso, kuso, kuso!' I thought as I felt my eyes widen larger than normal. Watching as the werewolf lunged forward, I jumped to the side. But I forget to put into play the fact that a werewolf in it's true form is as fast a demon so it's right paw caught me hard in the chest sending five even cuts across the hardened area. I gasped in pain and flipped just before landing on the ground and spotted my torn shirt. 'MY SHIRT!' I thought in anger as I looked up to see the wolf already charging me again. Jumping over the wolf I hoped that it wouldn't kick upward with it's back feet. Sadly it did and sent me high into the air before landing hard on my back. "AHHH!"
Slowly getting up I turned and spotted the wolf was pacing the other side of the ring. 'There is no way I can win in this form...' I thought. Closing my eyes I thought hard of Youko and felt my body changing. As I changed, I could feel my hair growing a few inches longer, a tail appearing. My ears moved onto my head and I grew taller. Up to seven feet really. Upon opening my eyes, I saw everything bleared but it cleared within a few seconds showing that my transformation was complete for my eye color had to change as well.

Youko's POV
Looking around I felt something hit my back hard. Flying into the wall on the other side of the ring, I knew what happened. As I was transforming, Shadow had used it to his advantage and gotten behind me and attacked me when my guard was down.
"YOUR NOT SUPPOSE TO ATTACK YOUR OPPONENT WHILE HE IS TRANSFORMING!" I roared to the wolf that stood on the other side of the ring. The wolf merely shrugged and flared my anger even more.
"What did you expect him to do? Let you transform without any attack?" Called Hiei. I looked to the crowd and spotted him watching my threw angered eyes. I nodded yes.
"It is a tradition to not attack an opponent while he is transforming," I snapped to the fire demon. He laughed.
"I have attacked many while they were transforming. The rules are to attack at any opportunity you get. Even if it is during a transformation," Hiei growled back. I snorted.
"It is un honorable," I called back. Hiei growled.
"Look up the rules for a fight. It says nothing about attacking while your opponent is transforming," Hiei snapped. I scoffed and glared at the demon.
"No one should ever do that! I mean if you attack during a transformation, would you attack while someone is preparing their own attack?" I called. Hiei nodded. "That is so un honorable!"
"Un honorable? What about attacking a man when he is down?" Hiei called. I snorted.
"Not once have I ever done that," I shouted.
"What about that time with Yusuke? During the training! He landed on the ground and you kicked him in the side!" Hiei snapped.
"I did not! Kuwabara did that!" I cried. Hiei snorted.
"I have proof! I can call Yukina!" Hiei yelled. I gasped lightly knowing that Yukina would most likely agree with Hiei even if it isn't the truth. But a sudden bark caught my attention. Turning, I spotted the werewolf glaring at me. I sighed.
"Sorry bout that. Shall we continue?" I asked as I ignored Hiei's shouts of defiance. The wolf nodded and he lunged toward me. I jumped and narrowly avoided a hit to the face. Once I landed I felt a hard hit to my back which sent me into a wall. Turning around I spotted the wolf coming at my face for a killing blow. Ducking down, I shot my hands out and caught the wolf and threw him across the ring. Praying that he wouldn't get up soon, I pulled out a rose seed. Growing it as fast as I could I turned it into a Rose Whip. But when I looked for my opponent, he was gone. "What the?"
A sudden bite to my leg caught my attention and I looked down to see the wolf had caught my left leg in his mouth. A second later he ripped his head up and pulled me up along with it sending me flying into the air. Landing hard into the ground, I soon found the wolf sitting on top of me mauling me. Crying out in pain I looked for my whip which had dislodged from my hand when I went flying. It was sitting a few inches away from my finger tips. Reaching out as far as I could, I could just about touch the edge. Gritting my teeth, I reached out again only to find my whip swatted away by the wolf's tail. I growled in response.
"Get up Kurama," I heard someone whisper. Looking into the crowd I spotted Hermione almost in tears. I snorted in disgust as I began to push against the wolf's chest in hopes of getting him off of me. It worked up until the wolf bit down hard on my right arm.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed as the wolf began to swing his head back and forth as though trying to rip my arm off my body. It seemed to work as he pulled my arm from it's socket and dislocating it. The pain was incredible as I felt tears fall from my eyes. The wolf was going to kill me. IN the distance, I thought I heard people yelling but it was to far away for me to notice. Images passed threw my head as it seemed like my life flashed by. 'Am I really going to die?' I asked myself. YOU CAN'T DIE YOU FOOL! Shuuichi cried in my head. I winced in pain because of the noise but felt a new source of power fill my body. I opened my eyes to see the wolf was tearing at my right leg. Kicking out hard with my left, I sent the wolf flying. AS I sat up I spotted my Rose Whip a few feet away. Knowing I couldn't walk, I fell to my side and reached out. Lucky for my I could reach it. Gripping the make shift handle, I pulled the whip close to me and pushed myself into a sitting position as the wolf jumped on me again. I quickly tried to shove him off but found my right arm couldn't move. My left was busy holding the whip and my left leg was trapped down by the weight of the wolf. My right leg was torn to pieces and I knew t would be useless. Growling, I spotted the wolf's leg right next to my face. Grinning, I leaned over and bite it as hard as I could.
"YIP!" called the wolf as he backed off. The second he was off, I cracked my whip and smacked the wolf across the face. The wolf backed off again as I began to sit up. Cracking the whip again, I caught the wolf right on the snout and forced it to began to bleed. The wolf yipped in pain and backed away again. Growing my whip a little longer, I cracked it again and caught the wolf on the back. The pain on his back sent Shadow flying from Lupin's werewolf form and forced the wizard to change human again. Shadow was immediately called upon a portal and took off to hide in the Makai. My fight was over... I won.

Shuuichi's POV
I woke up to find myself sitting peacefully in a hospital bed. 'I must have passed out after the fight,' I thought as I looked around. Hiei was peacefully sleeping in a nearby chair. Hermione and Ron shared a near by bed while Harry draped himself over the back of a chair and my bed. I wondered how long they had been there when I spotted Kuroune sitting on the bed across from me wide awake.
"Hey sleepy head," Kuroune called. I smiled slightly and sat up.
"How long was I out?" I asked. Kuroune looked at his wrist as though he was looking at a watch. I laughed slightly.
"A few weeks... We never left your side," Kuroune said as he nodded his head to the four surrounding my bed. I smiled.
"At least I know I have friends," I said. Kuroune looked hurt by this but I knew he was pretending. We always joked around like this. It happened after I had gotten hurt on a mission and Kuroune left me behind cause he really didn't know I was hurt. I had to crawl all the way back to camp.
"I am your friend Kurama!" Kuroune called. I nodded my head as I felt someone walk into the room. It was Dumbledore. I nodded my head hello to the elder wizard and watched as he looked over the three sleeping teens and one sleeping demon.
"We were all worried about you Kurama. I hope you know that," Dumbledore said. I nodded my head and sighed.
"I know... But you shouldn't have been," I muttered and turned away. Dumbledore laughed.
"But your our friend. It is fun to worry about a friend," Dumbledore said. I laughed slightly along with Kuroune. After a minute, I spotted Hiei shuddering. Once he woke up I got a large hug from him. This woke Harry which lead in a yell which woke Hermione and Ron and the three teamed up to hug me.
"You didn't need to do this I hope you know," I said after the hugs. But everyone ignored my statement. It wasn't till days after that people left me alone. But Lupin kept on thanking me and telling me he was sorry for all that Shadow did. About the tenth day after waking in the hospital wing, I was walking down a hallway with Hiei. "You know, it is sort of funny. I get attention after fighting a fight I didn't want to fight."
"Your point," Hiei growled back to me. I smiled and laughed slightly.
"Just found it funny my young friend," I said. Hiei snorted and we continued on our way. 'One more day before the portal opening,' called Youko in my head. I sighed. It was true. 'Yes... Tomorrow will be the rebirth of Karasu or Yara. Let us hope it is Yara.' I thought back. Youko sighed.
"We can only hope," I whispered lightly...

All set for now. Sorry that it was sort of a stupid chapter. I am really busy with other things and I have a new idea for a great story if I can get it down... But I have to finish this. I am thinking of stopping America since I got no reviews on the latest chapter I put up. So that means I can start a few new stories. Like an X-Men crossover and another story... Hopefully. Well, see you in the next chapter!
