"It isn't over." Yoko growled surprising his two comrades. "We will go after them, she isn't going to get away."

"You know who's in charge of this?" Yusuke yelled grabbing the kitsune's front. "Why didn't you tell us?"

"I didn't know at the time ningen. I just found out myself." Yusuke stared into the kitsune's eyes trying to decide if he was telling the truth or lying.

Finally he released him. "Fine. I'll believe you. Just lead us to how to get there."

"Urimeshi how would he know where they're going?" The village idiot asked, then as an after thought added, "And where is the shrimp?"

The teams quickly split up to infiltrate from the various sides. Vilpax had her whip out as did all other's who preferred specific weapons. They all sat at the ready. The scout gave a hoot and it began. All went in at once. Meeting in the middle and the battle ensued. The ones in the teams designated to venture to the holding cells and digging sights quickly went to fetch the demon slaves while the back up kept them safe.

Hiei watched as Vilpax fought she would strike out with her whip which would then cackle with fire and on contact with her target freeze them into a block of ice. He remembered Kurama telling him that this vixen would use her kitsune magic to give her the ability to combine her powers; but that was the last thing he expected. She quickly looked around then ran into the building in front of her.

The last 'retriever' to leave the battle. Hiei and the 'back up' were left to keep them safe and watch they're backs.

The Tantai excluding Hiei watched a kitsune with three tails as it ran through the battle that was ensuing the tails tipped ice blue swaying side to side as it ran. Its ice tipped ears were pressed against it's head. And its paws booted in ice blue were moving at a remarkable pace. Cream colored hair was brushed back in the wind as well. "It must be as big as a German Shepard." Yusuke commented.

"It must be as fast as Hiei," was Kuwabara's response.

"He is as big as a German Shepard, and I do believe he is faster then Hiei." Kurama, who was back in control, commented whilst searching through crowd that was battling. "Speaking of which . . ."

Yusuke and Kuwabara quickly followed his live of vision to find Hiei striking down guard after guard and shouting out orders. They could here a few of them from where they stood. "Good! Get them through the portal and to the designated cave. You and you follow them!"

"Very much like Hiei." Kurama commented before running after the fox they had spotted, no doubt that annoying animal would lead him strait to Vilpax.

Vilpax stalked quietly down the halls. "Hmmm . . . How are you doing today my sweet?" She heard the rough voice from a few doors down the hall. "And you don't have that kitsune to protect you this time."

"It doesn't matter if he is here or not. You WILL not touch me." A confident female voice followed directly after.

"We'll see wont we?" Vilpax was ready to open the door at this point when she sensed something else.

::Lady Vilpax!:: Was exclaimed, ringing through her head she new right away the only one that could be.

::Hello Kitsune.::

::She is in there!:: That was all he said as he quickly opened the door with telekinesis. ::Leave her alone!::

Vilpax ran in right after him brandishing her whip – then froze. A determined female cat demon was trying to push a persistent guard off of her. Her ears and tail tipped in blue while her hair was streaked with a fiery red. This was her granddaughter.

Kurama knew he couldn't catch up with Kitsune but he followed his general direction and soon was running down a hall way being pushed and jostled by the escaping slaves. At least they are finally free. His initial thought was wiped away by the thought of Vilpax's farewell. He would not let her die the way her son did. He would follow through with the promise he made to always protect her.

Finally he made it. He saw the door open and heard the cracking of a whip. He opened the door all the way and took in the scene. Kitsune was standing over what he recognized as an older version of Kailua trying to put out the fire that surrounded them. While Vilpax was at the other side of the room fighting the guard her arm was bleeding but she wouldn't give up. The guard was smart he realized, he had avoided getting hit by the whip, he only had a frozen arm but that was melting quickly. He's a fire demon! Kurama realized just as the demon lunged forward tackling Vilpax to the ground.

SSW: Well there you go. The battle, I hoped you enjoyed this chapter. I would have had it up sooner but I was unsure of exactly how to do the fight. I am sorry if it sounds a little lame. I tried at least! Oooo . . . Who's the fox named Kitsune? What is his importance? Who would name a fox Kitsune anyway? Well you will find out the answers and more in the next chapter! Revelations of Past and Present Despair!

Hiei: You really are getting into this aren't you.

Kurama: *is still out cold*

SSW: *glances at Kurama* YEP! And he isn't awake to try to grope me!

Hiei: *smacks Kurama in the head* He is worthless . . .

SSW: *giggles* Yes, but the more you hit him the longer he will be worthless.

*In Kurama's Unconciousness*

Kurama: *breaks his current kiss with SSW* Let's take this a little further . . .

SSW: Okay . . .

Kurama: *gets smacked in the back of the head by some unknown force and fall unconscious*

*In the real world*

SSW: I wonder what he is dreaming about . . .

Hiei: Hn. I don't care. *glares at readers* Just read and review.
