Chapter 18

HI! Um...here's chapter 18!

OH I remembered my bro's username it's Hamtaro33. Try his stories, he tries his best!

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho.

"Ing..." Kira whispered looking up at the boy.

He stood up and glared at the demon before him. "You ready to get your ass kicked!" He smiled placing a hand in front of him.

Ing's lips moved as he slowly called up his weapon. In a blast two blades appeared before him.

He tightened his grip around them and looked up at the demon. "Here goes nothing..." He whispered before he charged towards the demon.

He smiled at Ing's attempt and stood his guard. The young boy slashed at him as he blocked it with his arm. Blood dripped down the blade as Ing smiled at his success, only to frown when he heard the demon laugh.

"What the hell are you laughing at...?" Ing reluctantly asked.

"At you my dear boy, trying to act brave in front of this girl..." He laughed pushing Ing into the wall.

He smashed into the wall as ruble crumbled on top of his body.

"Ing!" Kira shouted running over to the boy.

"Girl stay out of the way!" He shouted pushing her to the side.

"Kira...stay put..." Ing whispered pushing a rock away. "Is that all you got!" He laughed as he made his way to the demon again.

He raised his blade and threw it at the demon hoping that it would strike him. His attempt failed as he swatted the blade away like it was a simple fly.

"I can't..." Ing whispered as he fell to his knees.

"Yes give up, you will never beat me..." The demon laughed as he walked over to the boy.

"Yes...master..." Ing whispered.

"Ing no, don't give in!" Kira cried. "Please...Ing..."

"Hush Kira...I can't..." He again mumbled looking to the ground. "Very good..." The demon hissed patting Ing on the head. Ing took this opportunity to stab the blasted demon in the stomach.

"You damn pest!" 'Master' shouted pushing Ing to the ground.

Ing looked at the demon surprised that he wasn't fazed by the hit. "You..."

"Yes I'm not hurt, this in nothing to me..." He smiled showing his deadly grin. "Now you shall die..." He stated getting Ing by the hair.

He slowly raised him to meet his face. "Are you scared to die?" He asked.

Ing only spit at his face. "Does that answer your damn question..."

"ING!" Kira shouted as she ran to the demon.

"Didn't I tell you to stay away!" 'Master' yelled swatting Kira out of the way. "Kira, leave her alone!" Ing shouted taking the chance to punch him.

"You fool I had about enough of you!" He shouted. Growing his claws he stabbed the Ing in the chest.

No words came from Ing's mouth, no shouts of pain...nothing. He fell to the ground motionless as Kira's scream filled the prison cell.

"Now girl, if you ever try what he did you will get the same thing..." He hissed glaring at her. He walked up the stairs and slammed the door.

"Ing..." Kira cried as she ran to him.

He stared at her and touched her face as tears filled his eyes. "I'm sorry...I-I couldn't help you...I couldn't help you at all..." he cried.

Kira cried as she held on to his hand. "Ing...you didn't have to do that. You fool. You idiot!" She yelled.

He only smiled at her and closed his eyes.

"Ing don't you dare leave me...ING!"

"Yes but why exactly am I important?"

"Because you are the key to the space of time..." Zi whispered twirling her hand.

"Key?"

"Yes, you do know what a key is?" She stated looking at her as if she was stupid.

"Of course, but..."

"Your daughter doesn't have enough power to do anything I think that he's going to use both of you..."

"What, so my daughter isn't...she isn't just to lure me there!"

"NOPE!" Zi smiled. "This is nothing to smile about, this is my niece we are talking about!" Botan shouted. "Aren't you touchy!" Zi stated frightened.

"I just don't appreciate that your smiling when all this is going on..."

"Thank you Botan..." Keiko whispered. "No problem Keiko..."

"Anyways, enough with this touchy scene, it's making me sick! Lets' go!" Zi shouted making a gagging noise.

In the forest

"Do you know where you're going?" Keiko asked Zi. "Of course I do!" She shot back floating ahead of them.

"I have a feeling she doesn't..." Botan whispered to Keiko.

"I can hear you two!" Zi stated irritated.

The woods surrounded the three girls as they traveled east. The wind howled at them as the stars gleamed down harshly.

"I really don't feel welcomed here..." Keiko whispered walking closer to Zi.

"Of course you don't...these woods are haunted...." She explained.

"What!" Keiko shouted. "Keiko don't tell your afraid of ghosts?" Botan asked.

"Of course not...why would I?" Keiko stuttered.

Crunch...

"WHAT WAS THAT!" Keiko shouted looking all over the place.

"Keiko it was probably just an animal." Zi laughed.

Growl...

"OH GOD! SOMETHING'S OUT THERE!" Keiko yelled hiding behind Botan. "Keiko you've met so many demons yet your afraid of this."

"I can't help it, Hiei was always there with me, he's not here!"

"Hey do you hear that?" Yusuke asked Kuwabara. "Here what...?"

"Some girls...let's go check it out..."

"Where are you two buffoons going?" Hiei asked never opening his eyes.

"Just for a walk!" Yusuke stated."Sheesh how does he do that?"

They walked a few feet spotting the three girls. "Hey it's Keiko and Botan, and the girl!" Kuwabara shouted. "No shit, I think I can see...hey get down!" He whispered as Keiko turned to them

"WHAT WAS THAT!"

"Keiko it was probably just an animal."

"Did you step on a stick?" Yusuke asked Kuwabara. "Sorry..."

"Hey are you thinking what I'm thinking"

"No..."

"You idiot, let's scare the crap out of them!"

"I don't know Ur..."

"GROWL!" Yusuke mimicked.

"OH GOD! SOMETHING'S OUT THERE!"

"Keiko you've met so may demons yet your afraid of this"

"I can't help it, Hiei was always there with me, he's not here!"

Yusuke and Kuwabara laughed as they fell to the ground. "Oh god she's so funny!"

A shadow loomed over them as they looked up.

"Hi Hiei..."

"What are you two doing...?"

"Nothing..."

"Keiko calm down, it's just an animal!"

"Keiko...what the hell were you two doing?" He shouted.

"Just scaring her that's all..." Yusuke stated.

He glared at him and smacked him over the head. "You idiot..."

"OW!"

"Keiko?" Hiei called walking out.

"Oh god, is it a ghost..."

"Keiko it's me..." Hiei smiled. "Oh HIEI!" She yelled running over to him.

"What are you doing here?

"I had to come, Zi knows where the castle is..."

"Zi?" Kurama asked walking up to them.

"Kurama sir!" Zi smiled floating over to him.

"I'm glad to see you again..." he stated.

"Same here!"

"So you know where to go?" Hiei asked.

"Yes..."

"Then lets go..."
