Chapter 7

"Botan, calm down!" Yusuke jumped back so he wouldn't get hit.

Botan swung at him, he dodged. She quickly countered with a high kick; Yusuke grabbed her foot and dropped her to the ground. She did a back flip and landed on her feet, about ten feet away from Yusuke.

"Botan!" Yusuke juped back as she brought out her oar again, and began swinging. He didn't see any other choice; he had to fight back. He punched her, causing her to stumble back.

Dropping to her knees, she looked up at him. "Yusuke..." she groaned, "run... away."

"C'mon, Botan! You can fight it!" He stepped closer.

Bad move. Before he knew it, she was gone. Suddenly, he sensed something behind him. He couldn't block in time; she was sure to hit him. He closed his eyes, grit his teeth, and tensed, waiting for contact. But it never came.

Yusuke opened his eyes to see what had happened. It would seem, that Hiei had showed up just in time to save him. Or, at least, he thought it was, "Hiei?"

The crimson eyed demon looked at him, "Kurama." he corrected.

"Oh yeah. For got about the..." Yusuke trailed off, looking at Botan and Kurama.

Botan tugged relentlessly, desperate to get her oar out of Kurama's grip. "What's wrong with her?"

Yusuke looked down at Kurama, and sighed, "Not real sure. She said she saw something.. and when we came to see what it was, she... was like... this!"

Kurama looked back to her struggling form. "It would appear that she's being controled by someone... and that she's lost all sense."

"Sense?" Yusuke repeated.

Kurama looked at him, "See how I'm holding her here?"

Yusuke's eyes traveled down Kurama's arm, over his hand that held one end of the oar, and over Botan's hands, where she tried pulling the oar away. He noticed what Kurama was talking about. If Botan would let go of the oar, she wouldn't be in close range and wouldn't be open for an attack. There was no way she could block, while in that position.

"Yusuke, you have to hit her. Just hard enough to knock her out, at least."

Yusuke looked to the red-head walking towards him, and nodded. Stepping around Kurama, Yusuke made his way over to Botan. "I'm... sorry." In one quick motion, he had punched her in the stomach and knocked her out.

Hiei walked up and joined in looking down at her unconscious form. A strange bug crawled out from under her skirt and scurried off towards the house.


Kuwabara awoke and looked around to see Yusuke, Kurama, and Hiei, all sitting around Yusuke's living room. "What happened?" he asked groggily.

Yusuke looked at him, but didn't say anything.

It was then, that Kuwabara noticed how out of character Hiei and Kurama were. The red-head sat near the window, while the dark, little demon sat on the couch with one leg crossed over the other, seemingly in deep thought.

"What's up with you guys?" asked Kuwabara.

"Hn."

Kuwabara whipped his head around, "Kurama?"

"No, your mother."

Kuwabara practically blew up, "What's going on here? Why are you acting like shrimpy, over there?"

"Kuwabara, don't you remember?" Yusuke prompted, "Last Friday..?"

Kuwabara stared at the three of them for a minute, "..So... Hiei is actually Kurama... and Kurama is actually... Hiei?"

"It would seem you've gotten dumber." Hiei muttered from his place at the window.

Kuwabara looked back to him, "This is gunna take a while to get used to..."


Okay, that's chapter 7. ARGH! I do hate writers block! Anyway, please review :)

I was starting to feeling like I was writing the second book of The Lord Of The Rings trilogy...
