The next few weeks the teens were forced to push beyond their limits. They all seemed to be doing fairly well...but Genkai noticed that something seemed to be wrong with Yoru. He was reverting back to the loner he used to be, and avoiding the others much as possible.

She saw the pain and fear in his eyes. He was still scared of losing his friends. That much was apparent to the elder woman, and she needed to put a stop to his worrying now.

"I'm going to need to talk to that boy..." she mumbled displeased as he shrugged Kakaeru off. Later when she got a hold of him she pulled him down to her angry eye level. "Listen boy...What do you think you're doing? All of you were brought here so you could work together, not so that :you: could go back to your old ways." Yoru's face twisted in anger, and he pried the old woman's fingers off him, and snapped, "Look hag-"

"No you look!" Genkai snarled cutting him off, "Your treating everyone like you don't care. News flash, you do you dumb little sXit! You and Yusuke are just alike! Listen to me, the others understand your struggling with something right now, but what happens when the enemy attacks? Will you be there to depend on? Its been 2 weeks and will be 3 in 2 days. Don't waste my time here. Leave if you won't work as a team...." Yoru slouched and grabbed his jeans angrilly. "Old woman, they all died because of me."

Genkai's angry features softened, "Yoru... that was your fear, not your future." He looked up, "Your afraid you'll let them down...you won't let them down Yoru..but...you have to stop being a baby, and face the facts you can't be a loner here." Yoru nodded slightly. "I under-"

BBBOOOOOOMMMMM!!

"WHAT WAS THAT?!" Genkai cried, Yoru turned to her, the ground trembling, "Your asking me?!" Both whipped around and saw smoke coming from the shrine. "What the..."

Kakaeru suddenly came sprinting down the stairs stumbling as she went, scratches on her face. As she raced, she flipped forwards, but kept stumbling on once she was back on her feet, refusing to stop. Her face was set for some sort of mission.

"The guys that attacked Bakudan are here, and trying to-WATCH OUT!!"

Kakaeru sped up, and all out tackled Yoru as she reached him. He flew to the side as an ice spike appeared out of nowhere. Kakaeru who lay on Yoru, in pain from the force of the tackle, could not dodge it in time, and it struck, sticking in her shoulder. She screamed and fell rolling off Yoru and then down the stairs. She stopped a few feet away; laying on her stomach she went motionless.

"KAKAERU!!" Yoru ran down to her lifting her tenderly up. The iice spike was melting in her shoulder intensifying her pain. !" She gasped her lips blue, and puffs of white air coming out her mouth. Her eyes were glazed over, and Yoru watched dumbfounded as the ice spike lodged in her shoulder grew, spreading down her arm, and to her throat. Realizing if he did not act, his greatest fear would come true, Yoru grabbed the ice and yanked it out quickly, Kakaeru giving out a grunt.

The rest of the ice on her body he melted with a fire ball, and relaxed when she blinked and the glazed over eyes disappeared.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!"

Yoru turned to look skywards glaring at a figure balancing on a tree. An ice demoness stood at the very top of the tree, in a black Kimono, her red fingernails shining like jewels in the sun. Her beautiful face was twisted in an ugly sneer, her cold blue eyes glaring down at him, and her long blue hair flapped in the wind. "Your friends are at the shrine! Come to the battle field little boy and face DREENA!" She cackled.

She turned blowing a kiss and disappeared.

"Geez what a bXtch!" Kakaeru growled and stood up holding her wounded arm. "Kakaeru-"

"C'mon Yoru...we gotta hurry! We're gettin' beat up!"

Yoru watched as she ran off, and he touched a red stain on his shirt. He would have been the one struck by that arrow if Kakaeru hadn't leapt to save him. He nodded to himself, and Genkai watched him go after Kakaeru. "Remember what I said Yoru." He looked back at her and nodded. "I will!"

/THE BATTLE FIELD/

"SHOT GUN!!" Yusuke shouted blue energy smashing into Shinsho, who easily took it.

Kashi and Hame battled with Makudo, who flew around laughing if they made mistakes. Vison watched and chuckled when Dreena reappeared fighting Kurama, and Hiei with the greatest of ease."Hey pretty boy!" Vison turned too see the orange haired teen holding a glowing sword ready to fight.

Kuwabara was ready for a battle with this guy, but for an odd reason he found it was hard to hold up one of his arms.

His shoulder ached so much....

Vison blinked and watched Kurama and Kashi, completely ignoring Kuwabara. "What..." he breathed out softly, as Kashi was cut on her leg, and in an instant blood appeared on Kurama's. He starred with sick amusement, as some worked his way into his head. Vison chuckled darkly, "Oh my...I get it." He full out laughed, mumbling, "I can't believe...the fools actually brought their counterparts to fight...how amusing!!"

"YAAAAAHHH!"

Surprised, Vison barley managed to evade Kuwabara's attack. Vison watched as a piece of his hair fell to the ground. His purple eyes narrowed and a growl emitted from his throat, he glared angrilly at Kuwabara. "You'll regret that." Yellow energy formed over Vison's fists and he pummeled them in to Kuwabara's gut again and again. Kuwabara could not react, nor scream, he could only feel each blow.

He fell on the ground and Vison kneeled over him."Do you want to know what type of demon I am? The type that steels energy...and I am very hungry..." Vison starred down into Kuwabara's now wide blue eyes and Kuwabara watched with terror as long fangs grew from Vison's mouth.

Vison grabbed Kuwabara's curly hair and yanked him up, and then pulled his head back revealing his pale neck. He wrapped the other arm around Kuwabara gripping him tightly, pinning Kuwabara's arms to his sides. Vison smiled blowing his warm breath on Kuwabara's neck causing the orange headed warrior to get goose bumps. Kuwabara trembled, making Vison smile. The grin grew wider when he licked the spot he would bite, and Kuwabara whimpered out, "Please don't..."

He bit down.

Hard.

Kuwabara paled, eyes rolling back into his head. His arms twitched, as he felt the life being sucked out of him. His mouth was open, as he tried to scream out for help, but nothing came. Tears dripped slowly down his cheeks as Vison bit down harder. Vison enjoying the delicious, and rare meal of human spirit energy let go of Kuwabara, and lay on top of him, lips never leaving his neck, teeth still buried into Kuwabara's tender flesh. "Yu...usuke."

Kakaeru and Yoru who were both fighting Shinsho with Yusuke suddenly stopped. Kakaeru had paled and began to shiver. She grabbed a hold of her shoulders, and sunk to the ground, still shivering. "Yoru..." She gasped, said person quickly grabbed hold of his friend, starring with concern as she shook so violently. "Kakaeru? What-"

"Som..thing...to...Kuwa..." Kakaeru wheezed, gasping for air, she went paler and made a strange sound, Yoru pulling her closer as she moaned from some unknown cause of pain. Yusuke who heard her words, turned from Shinsho and saw Kuwabara pinned to the ground, Vison on top of him, his hand tangled in his hair and his lips to Kuwabara's neck. Kuwabara's cheeks were wet with tears, his mouth open in silent pain. He gave out a tiny gasp as Vison pulled his teeth out and thrust them back into Kuwabara's neck. That simple movement caused the tears to speed faster down Kuwabara's cheeks and Yusuke's anger to grow hotter.

Yusuke's eyes flashed an angry yellow as he pointed his hand at Vison's head. A large blast began to grow and he roared, "SPIRIT GUN!" The blast cut through the fights, causing several people to jump aside, and hit the deck. The gigantic blast struck hard on Vison, throwing him off, but Kuwabara lay completely still on the ground his gelled hair falling down and returning to a mass of curls, his neck a bloody mess. "KUWABARA!" Yusuke rushed to him, and lifted the lifeless fighter in his arms.

"Don't be dead...please don't be dead.." He held Kuwabara to him, starring at his closed eyes. Slowly they opened and his glazed eyes focused on Yusuke. "Urameshi....ahh..." Kuwabara raised a weary arm up and placed it on Yusuke's head. "Urameshi..." His hand traced over Yusuke's eyebrow, dragging to his cheek, and then lips. Blushing, Yusuke helped him up, tenderly holding him around his waist, making sure Kuwabara's arm stayed wrapped around his neck.

Kuwabara looked down at how close he and Yusuke were and blushed, and when Yusuke noticed the pink tinge to his best friend's cheeks he blushed too. Vison enraged and shirtless appeared behind them. "FOOLS!" He bellowed. but a small green sword blocked any attack he had. "Don't...even...think about..it..." Kakaeru stood in front of him, pale and weak her orange hair falling out of her ponytail. Yusuke dragged Kuwabara away setting him down, placing a hand on his bleeding neck. He called to Yoru, but Yoru was already headed for Kakaeru.
Vison looked her over and cupped her face, "What a pretty little girl...yes...you're his counterpart..." He jerked his head towards Kuwabara, "Hmm you'll do nicely."

BAM!

Yoru had taken his fist and smashed it into Vison's face, an angry look plastered on his mug. "DON'T TOUCH!" He snarled angrilly. Kakaeru swayed, dizzy from all the rapid movement and collapsed, but Yoru had hooked an arm around his waist so she simply collapsed against his chest. Vison looked back and fourth between Kakaeru and Yoru, and he smiled at a secret only he knew.

"Everyone it's time!" Vison said hovering in the air. Makudo's eyes danced happily, and he grabbed hold of Hame. Hame shoved his fist into his gut, but Makudo slit open his skin in his arm and placed a dark orb the size of a penny inside.

"What the...AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!"

Everyone stopped fighting and turned to see Hame's arm seeping dark energy, it shot out in black waves of lighting."HAME!!" Kashi ran to him, much to the protests of Kurama and Hiei."Hame!! I'll help you!" She grabbed hold of his arm, though the dark energy burned and chapped her skin. "Kashi! No run!! my arm..its gonna blow..." He hissed between gritted teeth.

She glanced at him and he saw tears in her eyes. "This will hurt...." Her two fingers dove into the wound, and searched for the orb while he screamed. "GOT IT!" She ripped it out and tossed it towards Hiei, who sliced it with his sword in one quick movement, but all this had been a distraction. As Kashi did this Shinsho had rammed Yoru down, jerking him away from Kakaeru.

"YORU!" Kakaeru looked back at her friend, and rose angrilly, "You'll pay SPIRIT SHORT S-uh-!" Her attack disappeared, as Vison struck her neck with the side of his hand. Her ponytail went up with her head and she fell backwards, into Vison's arms. "The ladies always did fall for you!" Shinsho laughed at his own pathetic joke.

Yoru crawled to where the two men stood laughing at the idiotic joke, and grabbed Vison's leg. "Take me...please don't take the girl! You can have anything you want just...don't take the girl!" Vison smiled coldly and the brutal attackers rose in the air taking Kakaeru with them, her pale hand hanging down forwards the ground. "Listen Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei are to stay behind, but Tomorrow at noon the other 3 are to show up at the cape nearest to the Sakura lighthouse. Be late she dies. Be early she dies. Show up with anyone else she dies. Understand?"

As he talked Kakaeru's eyes opened, and in her limp hand she formed one of her short swords; she tried to thrust it into Vison, but Shinsho caught her arm, squeezing it until she stopped screaming and passed out."DAM YOU!!" Yoru screamed tears in his eyes. He looked wearily up, Kakaeru's pale face turned to him, and then they all disappeared leaving him alone. Yusuke grunted, opening his eyes and saw Kuwabara laid on top of him. Yusuke grabbed him, eyes wide. "Kuwabara!" He did not respond, and Yusuke clung to him crying softly on his shoulder. Kashi and Hame limped over to Yoru and helped him up. He was ranting angrilly, tears falling onto the ground. "We'll get her back!" Kashi whispered pain hanging heavily in her voice.

Yoru's eyes glowed with fire. "Oh I know we will...."
