Repreview: Kuwabara has beaten Bayako the fire Saint Beast. There are only two Saint Beasts left, one each of Lightning and Ice. The Ice Dragon shows himself in this next chapter of Yu Yu Hakusho Revised.
" Hey! There seems to be some sort of a door up ahead..." Alaira said running up the hallway.
" Wait up Alaira! Don't leave me back here!" Kitty yelled running to catch up with Alaira.
Kurama and Hiei just looked at each other and shook their heads.
" I'll never understand why they have to run up ahead of the group and see what's up there first...." Kurama said shaking his head and quickening his pace to catch up with the girls.
" Yes...I suppose..." Hiei said running on ahead of Kurama in case the girls got into trouble.
Kuwabara and Yusuke started running to catch up with the rest of them. They caught up with Kurama and Hiei. The girls were still ahead of them.
" How long is this hallway?" Yusuke said looking around.
All of a sudden they heard the girls scream.
" Well, We'll find out soon enough." Hiei said running, hand on his sword.
They reached the spot where they heard the scream come from. A wooden door was half way open. Hiei went in first. He saw Alaira sitting in a corner frozen from the neck down. Kitty was no where to be seen.
The others had followed Hiei into the room.
" It's cold in here..." Kuwabara said shivering.
Kurama saw Alaira in the corner and went over to her. He put his hand on her neck to see if she had a pulse.
" Alaira is still alive....I don't see Kitty though....the coldness in this room suggests that an ice demon is nearby." Kurama said pulling his hand back from Alaira's neck and looking at the thick fog that was covering the room.
" Very good...you have guessed the secret." a voice said just as the fog started to swirl around.
" Wha...what's happening?" Kuwabara said stuttering.
The fog stopped spinning around and pulled back to reveal a man with black hair and a blue complexion. He was wearing a blue ninja like outfit and had a black gotee.
" Where's Kitty, you son of a bitch?" Yusuke said surprising the others. He never showed that he actually cared about Kitty before.
" Oh...you mean the little ice kitten? She's hanging around." the man said laughing and pointing upwards.
" What do you mea–... dammit!" Yusuke said looking up. Kitty was hanging from the ceiling on an ice chandelier that hung in the middle of the ceiling. She looked unconscious and her skin was a pale blue. Her eyes were closed and her hair had icicles hanging from it.
" Kitty!" Hiei said looking up after Yusuke. " What have you done to her and Alaira?"
" Your friend Alaira has only been lightly frozen. Kitty is an ice demon. She has powers that surpass my even my own...I needed her power so I took it from her!" the man laughed again.
" Seyru!" a voice yelled from the hallway.
" Huh? Wait that sounded like Bayako! But I thought that he died in lava?" Kuwabara said looking behind him.
" Seyru! Listen to me! These children are too powerful. We can work together and beat them!" Bayako said walking through the door. He was burned and his clothes were torn.
" Bayako! You are weak. I do not need your help! You have ashamed the name of Saint Beast! You must die!" Seyru said freezing Bayako.
The others just watched as Seyru knocked Bayako into pieces. His head was the only thing in tact when the body hit the floor.
" What did you do that for?" Kuwabara said staring at the frozen head.
" Bayako was weak. He did not deserve to live." Seyru said unruffled by what he had just done. " The only way to get your friends back to normal is to beat me...who will fight me?"
" I will..." Hiei said looking up at Kitty and then down to Bayako's head.
He took off his cloak and threw it over Bayako's frozen head. There was something going on in Hiei's head I don't think even he could explain.
" Fine. Prepare to die!" Seyru said as he unleashed a powerful blast of ice.
Hiei was just a blur as he jumped away. He reappeared on a high corner on the left wall.
" He can move that fast?" Kuwabara said, his mouth dropping open.
" Yes. He has great speed." Kurama said watching Hiei dodge Seyru's ice attacks.
" You shall not escape this one!" Seyru said as he shot a beam of ice at Hiei.
Hiei didn't dodge this one fast enough and it hit him in the leg. It froze his leg. Hiei just kept on dodging his other attacks. Seyru let loose another beam of ice and froze Hiei's other leg. Hiei fell to the ground and couldn't move.
" This won't hurt a bit. You'll soon be joining your little friends." Seyru said releasing a huge ice/wind wave.
" One of Kitty's attacks....where does he get off using her attacks?" Hiei thought to himself.
As the wave of ice drew closer to him, he put his sword into the ground in front of him. The ice hit the sword and split down the middle. It hit the wall where Kurama and the others were standing. It's a good thing they were standing behind where Hiei was...the ice just went around them.
" You seem to have missed...." Hiei said raising his body heat and the ice on his legs melted off. " Now it's time for you to die!"
Hiei jumped up and ran towards Seyru in a blur. He jumped over him and slashed his sword. When he landed Seyru turned around and laughed.
" Ha! Your puny attacks have no effect on me!" Seyru said, just as his face cracked. Blood ran down his face as he screamed " NO!!"
Seyru burst into pieces. His energy flew from his body and went upwards into Kitty's body. Her skin became a pale white once again and the icicles in her hair disappeared.
" Kurama!" a voice yelled behind the gang.
Kurama turned swiftly around and Alaira ran into his arms. She put her hands around his neck and kissed him on the lips. Kurama put his arms around her and swung her around in the air, then sat her back down. Hiei just turned away and looked up at Kitty. He jumped up into the chandelier. He picked Kitty up and jumped back down. He laid her down and sat down beside her. The others were fussing over Alaira.
" Come on Kitty wake up..." Hiei said petting Kitty's hair.
Kitty's big hazel eyes slowly opened. She sat up and smiled at Hiei. She put her arms around his neck and he put his arms around her waist. She closed her eyes and kissed him. Kuwabara turned around and saw Hiei and Kitty sitting on the floor kissing. He just turned to Yusuke and poked him on the shoulder and pointed to Hiei and Kitty.
" Well looky who's up..." Yusuke said laughing.
Kitty and Hiei stopped kissing and glared at Yusuke. Yusuke just smiled stuck his tongue out at Kitty. Kitty just flicked him off, smiling back.
" Can it, Yusuke. I heard everything you said before. I could hear you but couldn't respond." Kitty said standing up, brushing off her black low-rider leather pants and fixing her black leather belly tank top.
" Really? That's something I don't believe..." Yusuke said laughing.
Hiei just stood up and put his arm around Kitty's shoulder. Kurama and Alaira had stopped kissing to watch the conversation between Yusuke and Kitty.
" Maybe we better go...that guy might come back." Alaira said nervously looking around.
" I doubt he will....I can feel that he's gone for good....but yea we should get out of here..." Kitty said trailing off.
" Right! Let's go!" Kuwabara said running out the door.
" I guess we have to follow him now..." Kurama said trailing off. He followed Kuwabara and Yusuke out the door. Alaira was right beside him.
Hiei and Kitty lagged behind the others. " Thanks for saving me Hiei....I guess I'll have to say thanks for Alaira too...." Kitty said looking up into Hiei's crimson eyes.
" It was nothing Kitty...I'd do anything for you..." Hiei said looking back into Kitty's eyes and putting his arms around her, embracing her gently.
" Ummhmm..." Kitty said closing her eyes and hugging Hiei to her. She then kissed him on the cheek. " Hey Hiei....we better go....the others are probably wondering were we got to..."
" Yea...let's go..." Hiei said pulling Kitty out the door by her hand.
Kitty and Hiei soon caught up with the group. They were standing around Yusuke. He seemed to be yelling into a silver hand held device. Kitty walked up and tried push Kuwabara over so she could see what was happening. Botan was on the screen of the hand held thing.
Kitty heard that Kayko was in trouble because the people infested with the Makai insects were after her. Kayko was with Botan. But Botan wasn't sure if she could keep Kayko hiding. After Botan cut the connection Yusuke was kind of dumbstruck.
" Let's go...We need to find the final Saint Beast...let's follow this path." Yusuke said running off, almost knocking Kitty over.
" Damn Yusuke....just push someone out of the way why don't you?" Kitty said getting up off the floor.
Hiei came over and pulled her to her feet. He then swung her up into his arms and ran off.
" What are you doing Hiei?" Kitty said perplexed about why he had picked her up.
" I didn't want you to get hurt again...so I'm not going to let you go ahead of the group again...no telling what traps are set in this castle...." Hiei said still running behind the others.
Alaira was in Kurama's arms, she seemed to be enjoying herself. She had her arms around Kurama's neck and her face was buried in his shirt. Kitty just put her head on Hiei's shoulder and put her arms around his neck, she hugged him tight to her.
" I love you..." she whispered into Hiei's ear before she closed her eyes.
Hiei just smiled and kept on running. Alaira kissed Kurama on his neck, he was surprised and almost dropped her. He regained his feet and turned his head and kissed her back. She just sighed and put her head on his chest. All of a sudden everybody came to a complete stop.
" What's the matter?" Alaira said looking up.
" It seems we're being held up by some green guys....scratch that...a lot of green guys..." Kuwabara said drawing out his Spirit Sword. Hiei put Kitty down and drew out his sword. Kitty pulled two twin swords out of nowhere and twirled them around in the air. Alaira summoned her Staff of Dark Magic. Kurama pulled a rose out of his hair and turned it into his signature Rose Whip. They semi circled Yusuke.
" What are these things?!!" Kuwabara yelled slashing one of the green guys apart.
" They're called Cultivated Humans. They have no feelings...so they cannot feel pain." Hiei said cutting a few more apart.
" My dad used to grow these things...they're actually very easy to beat...the only thing you need is a good attack backed by energy...like this!" Kitty said as she brought her swords down to the ground and it split, destroying the cultivated humans within a 100-foot radius of her.
Kuwabara just stood with his mouth open as he saw Kitty's attack. He didn't notice one of the green people attack him. Kurama saw it before it killed Kuwabara and cut it to bits with his Rose Whip.
" Damn Kurama! Why didn't you leave him alone? If he was killed by one of those Cultivated Humans it would be an 'accident' and we wouldn't get in trouble." Kitty's voice popped into Kurama's head.
" What did you want me to do? Leave him to die? You know that's not what kind of person I am Kitty!" Kurama shot back in thought speech as he cut his way through a crowd of Cultivated Humans.
" Yea...isn't that what I just said? He gets on my nerves...you should've left him....you'll regret it later....I know you will..." Kitty said turning her head to look at Kurama and ducking as one of the humans threw a punch at her head. " Yipes!" she said out loud.
" We seem to have cleared them out from around here...there's a window on that tower up there...one of us could get through. I have an idea we can catapult Yusuke up into the window from here...it would work!" Alaira said putting her hand on her chin, thinking.
" I think I have a better idea....Yusuke grab hold of my hand. Hold on tight...I'm not kidding about that..." Kitty said holding out her hand to Yusuke.
" Okay...what for?" Yusuke asked as he grabbed Kitty's hand and held it tight with both hands.
" For this..." Kitty said as her and Yusuke's images became transparent.
" Hey! Where'd Urameshi and Kitty go?" Kuwabara said his eyes getting wide.
" Kitty ran..." Kurama said looking at the tower.
" She what?!! No body can run that fast!" Kuwabara yelled his eyes still wide.
" You seem to have underestimated Kitty's speed...she's the fastest one here,...not to mention the smallest..." Alaira said giggling.
Hiei shot Alaira a dirty look and glared at her. " Whoa...I didn't mean it in a mean way Hiei...don't get your cloak in a twist...I was kidding..." Alaira said waving her hands in front of her face.
Hiei just looked away. All of a sudden a voice yelled from the tower window. " Hey! We're up here! I'm going with Yusuke in case he needs help! Okay? I'll see you later!" Kitty's voice yelled.
" Seems like they got in okay...We better keep fighting or else we won't be seeing Kitty or Yusuke again...." Kurama said slashing out with his Rose Whip at the approaching 'humans'.
" Dark Magic Attack!" Alaira said unleashing a huge amount of black energy from her staff.
" Rose Whip Thorn Wheel!" Kurama yelled spinning his Rose Whip around, a bunch of rose petals fell off and then zigged around and cut the 'humans' into pieces.
Hiei slashed away with his sword at the 'humans'. Kuwabara did the same.
We now go to Kitty and Yusuke
" Hey Yusuke....there's a huge amount of Spirit Energy coming from that room up ahead...I'm pretty sure that's where the head Saint Beast is..." Kitty said pointing to a door at the top of the stair well.
" Kitty, have you heard anything about this guy? I mean you're a demon and all..." Yusuke said turning his head toward her.
" Oh...yea I've heard rumors about this guy. He uses lightning attacks....his most powerful is Storms of Torment. It's deadly...not to mention it hurts like hell..." Kitty said half laughing.
" I always knew I liked you...If I get the flute away from this guy will you play it? I mean try and play a counter melody or something...you know to reverse the effect of the Makai insects." Yusuke said heading on up the stairs.
" How do you know I play the flute?" Kitty asked turning her head sideways and blinking.
" Oh...I passed by one of your concerts and I heard your name being called to play a solo...it sounded very pretty by the way...." Yusuke said blushing.
" Thanks! I work hard at it!" Kitty said smiling.
" Well here we are....ready to go?" Yusuke said putting a hand on the door.
" Yes...but here let me do the honors..." Kitty said pushing Yusuke's hand off the door and putting her own in it's place.
" Go ahead..." Yusuke said laughing.
" Thanks..." Kitty said as she summoned up her Spirit Energy and blasted the door into pieces. " Hey Mr. Tough Saint Beast! We're here!"
Yusuke just looked at her wide-eyed and they walked into a brown stone room.
