Silverwing013: Sorry if any of you guys out there felt betrayed by me by having Nekoyami 'kill off' Kuronue. But I figured he had to have harmed the team's local demons. And if Yusuke had something happen from this guy, it would seem like overkill.
Mikko: You already overkill. In my story. Remember?
Silverwing013: Give it time for me to put up. I now have two study halls this quarter…plenty of time to type all my stories! I have a request though…I don't know how many of you guys are the drawing type but I would like to see other ppl's drawings of what they think Nekoyami looks like. If you guys would be so kind to send them to me…
hiei-sister- Updated as soon as I could here. End of the quarter is a bust of endless reports.
hyperaquafairy- Yes, the baka is evil. You keep saying that which…tell me, how many stories has anyone seen him evil in? Kuwabara's a total nice guy while this Nekoyami side of him is so…evily evily evil. Sorry about Kuronue, but as I said above, -wahhhh- he's already dead. I've seen the first movie -kill English voice actors! - and I liked Kuronue. Which is why I had Nekoyami mock the hat, I want it!
Akii Soujiro Kitkat- hey! Glad u luv luv! You kinda beat me to the punch to ask for fanarts. I would luv to see it though.
Silverwing013: Yes…disclaimer…Can I say it was my idea?
Mikko: No. You don't own fluff head or Botan or my brother.
Silverwing013: I own your relationships with them. –Mikko glares- Okay, fine. YuYu Hakusho does not belong to me. My stories, however, do. Read onward my fellow ppl.

"Now what would the amazing Yoko scheme to finish me off?" asked Nekoyami sarcastically.
Kurama pulled his hand out of his pocket, hiding the object from view. Nekoyami sniffed the air for the scent. "I've heard cat demons become drunk-like from this," Kurama said stepping toward Nekoyami, "Now is the time to test this theory."
Nekoyami burst out laughing. "And….HA HA HA….how would that…HA…make me…HA HA…less dangerous Yoko?"
"Shizuru!" Kurama called out for Kuwabara's sister.
Shizuru, Keiko, and Botan looked up from trying to pick Yusuke up to carry him away.
"Yeah?" Shizuru questioned.
Kurama glanced back at Nekoyami and looked at him as he said, "Lighter!"
Nekoyami shrugged uninterested at this. "Making me drunk won't help any, fellow colleges persuade me to stay away from the stuff, seeing how it makes me more unpredictable than before. Besides," Nekoyami glanced at the catnip Kurama was holding, "it take 100 fold of that small amount to get me to that state."
Kurama caught the lighter thrown at him from Shizuru with one hand, clicked it, and burned the catnip. But Kurama didn't stick it under Nekoyami's nose, the traditional way to get a cat demon drunk. Aiming quickly, Kurama threw the burning catnip at Nekoyami's face. Nekoyami stood there, bored at his actions. Wiping the catnip off of his face slowly, he whipped around and jumped into the air. A millisecond later, Kurama's rose whip slashed at where Nekoyami once stood.
"How did you become so great Yoko, if you were always this slow?" Nekoyami asked mockingly.
Landing, he gave Kurama the human two-fingered salute with his claws and dashed off after Hiei, whom was still carrying Yukina away. Kurama took after the notorious cat demon but soon fell far behind. He took the time to slow down and ask the remaining girls if they were okay.
"We're fine Kurama," Botan answered, "But Koenma wants you all out of this area at once. He's going to talk to his father about sending more fighters down here to capture Nekoyami. But most likely they'll go off and kill him. Which…" she trailed off.
"Would kill my baby brother," Shizuru answered.
Kurama made a mental note to try not to kill Kuwabara when he was at it, but Nekoyami still had to pay somehow. If only he could separate the two somehow…
"Kuwa…bara…"
Everyone whipped their heads to look at Yusuke, his eyes straining to open. "uh…my head…"
"Yusuke, try not to move much," Kurama instructed. "I have to go after Nekoyami."
"Ne…ko…yam…i…?" Yusuke said slowly. "What's…with….Ku…Kuwabara?"
"Nekoyami is Kuwabara's demon side, Yusuke," Kurama explained. "I'll explain later."
Kurama was itching to go after his old partner's killer as fast as he could. Not to mention, Nekoyami was after his closest partner now.
"Take me," Yusuke said clearly.
They all starred at Yusuke. "Take you were?" Keiko said. "You're not going anywhere Yusuke."
"Listen.…!" Yusuke tried to shout out. "No one…is…killing Kuwabara….I won't…let them."
"He heard us?" Botan asked surprised.
"Yusuke," Kurama said rather anxiously, "listen, you're in no condition to fight anybody."
"Damn it, Kurama!....Just take me. I know Kuwabara…."
"I suppose it could cause Nekoyami to revert to his human state," Kurama mused out loud.
"Then let's get…going," Yusuke said.
"Yusuke! You are not going anywhere, Yusuke!" Keiko shouted at him.
"If Yusuke can cause any memories to come back to Kuwabara so he reverts back to himself, it saves us the worry over Yukina's death even if it doesn't heal other scars," Kurama said to Keiko and the group overall.
Kurama carefully picked up Yusuke and had his body rest across his back, Yusuke's hands clutched around Kurama's neck. "…head…hurts…," Yusuke muttered, coughing, small drops of blood flew out to splatter the back of Kurama's shoulders. A slight amount of blood from his stomach, came from the punch he had received and it was already soaking into the back of Kurama's clothes.
"Are you sure you'll be fine Yusuke?" Kurama asked.
"Hurry it up Kurama…."
"Hold on," Kurama said. Yusuke's hold on Kurama tightened and they took off after Nekoyami.
He grinned as he could now see Hiei in the distance. Carrying the ice maiden. Nekoyami grinned more in prospect of his human host facing the death of the one whom had hurt his heart badly. Unfortunately, he could hear Kuwabara inside of him.
'Don't Nekoyami.'
'What?' Nekoyami asked him over innocently. 'This will be the end of your pathetic feelings. No more Yusuke, no more Hiei taunting you, and no more of that stupid love crap. That Yoko is nice to everyone, too bad he bottles up all those useless feelings inside.'
Nekoyami laughed cruelly out loud. Hiei turned around to see Nekoyami gaining upon him and his sister, and attempted to speed up with getting his sister out of here. His Jagan could sense Kurama's presence following with a rather weak presence of Yusuke with him. No doubt Kurama had something up his stupid uniform sleeve if he's carrying someone so weak, Hiei thought.
'Don't harm my friends. Not Urameshi, not Kurama, not Yukina, and even the runt. Don't you know of any honor?''Put a cork in the honor!'
Nekoyami shut his mind off from Kuwabara's viciously. With a couple more strides, he caught up with Hiei, running alongside the little fire demon and the ice maiden.
"So Hiei," Nekoyami smirked over at the shocked Hiei and Yukina, "how's the running conditions for today? I think they have just ended."
He swiped his claws toward Yukina, causing Hiei to move away from Nekoyami so the claws didn't reach his sister. Setting her on the ground, Hiei stood protectively in front of Yukina. Yukina glanced up at Hiei. Without looking back, Hiei yelled out, "Get out of here Yukina!"
Yukina moved a few feet backwards; she didn't exactly want to leave when she had something she wanted to do…
"Why not tell her Hiei?" Nekoyami said mockingly. "Tell her who you really are. Or would you rather she be left clueless?"
"That," Hiei gritted on his teeth, "is my own business."
"Well, well, well," the cat demon said glancing over to the appearance of Kurama and Yusuke. "It seems we have the whole Urameshi team here to see their demise."
"Their?" Kurama questioned.
"Did you assume I was only after the ice maiden?" Nekoyami said slightly angered by this assumption. "Never assume anything. I'm sick of listening to all of these pitiful emotions."
He spat out the word pitiful in distaste. Kurama eased Yusuke off his back, ready to fight for his life. Kurama hadn't landed anything on him earlier and Nekoyami wasn't even fighting back. Yusuke shakily stood, raising his head to see Nekoyami better. "Kuwabara," he started.
"I'm not Kuwabara," Nekoyami spat out.
"Kuwabara," Yusuke said again as Nekoyami bristled with the name. "I know…you're in there…somewhere. You don't…really want…to hurt us. Remember back…to all those times…Genki's tournament…getting your spirit sword…your fight against Rando…the maze castle…us…getting pass the entrance…your fight…finding the right door…Yukina's rescue mission…you, talking to her telepathically…the dark tournament…your dimensional sword…everything…."
'Urameshi-'
'Shut up!' Kuwabara's side was pushed away by Nekoyami.
Nekoyami stood there starring at Yusuke blankly. Kurama looked over a Yusuke, "I think it's getting through Yusuke. Yusuke?"
Yusuke leaned down, his hands on his knees as he remained standing. Panting hard, Yusuke continued looking up at the cat demon. Kurama noticed large amounts of blood seeping out of the back of Yusuke's head; some wounds bleed through his uniform to show his back was injured. Kurama hadn't seen or detected it before.
"Hardly Yoko," Nekoyami sneered down at Kurama.
"Guess not," Kurama said as Yusuke collapsed on the ground. "Hiei, you ready?"
Hiei gave Kurama a slight nod of the head, reaching for the bandages that covered his one arm. His mangled sword hand wouln't be holding his sword for a while now. Kurama noticed his movements.
"You kill Nekoyami Hiei and Kuwabara will never come back," Kurama stated.
Hiei's eyebrow twitched ever slightly. "Who said I had any arguments with that?"
But Kurama noticed Hiei didn't unwrap his bandages. It was obvious because even Nekoyami observed this with a laugh.
"Looks like I won't have to worry about being killed by either of you two. Your pathetic demons. Letting feelings get in the way. Yoko and Hiei. Two names tossed around by weaker demons from their impressive greatness, but that's hardly the case. Yoko had the treasured partner, that died, affected his abilities, and then he died. Then he went and got more partners. Hiei only wanted to go back to know his family, but his parents were both dead and his sister was nowhere to be found, he heard about the Jagan and his weakness took over. And it's all thanks to me that these weaknesses were shown to the ordinary demon eyes." Nekoyami ended his speech. "And it was so much fun," he added gleefully.
Yukina watched the whole thing from a few feet behind Hiei. To what would have been Hiei's relief if he had turned around, is that Yukina still hadn't figured out that Hiei was her brother. Hiei and Kurama were both looking at Nekoyami like he was a maggot and they were ready to fight.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Silverwing013: Showdown! Coming up! How is the Urameshi team going to get through this? Kurama can't land a blow on this guy, Hiei can no longer use that sword hand of his, Yusuke is down (again), and Nekoyami is pushing Kuwabara to the side quite easily. How can they hope to win when all odds are against them? Only two of their members are left to fight, but Hiei's only real weapon left would destroy both Nekoyami and Kuwabara….Read onward onto the next chappie.
Mikko: What an ending.
Silverwing013: That was sarcastic. I have more time on my hands, which means more updates! So long till Until I Say, chappie 6.
