Kiko's Revenge Chapter Two

I haven't gotten many reviews on this, but that hasn't stopped me yet.

Warnings- Violence, language and death

Second Shot-

Kurama dodged another blow from Kiko.

"Kiko, we're evenly matched. Neither one of us can win."

Kiko's evil aura flared, "Fine! I'll make it uneven."

All the dew and rainwater in that area collected around her. It all gathered into a ball about two and a half feet in diameter.

This was a new attack that Kurama had never seen before.

He didn't have time to ponder over it as the ball of water became elongated like a spear and shot out at him. He dodged, narrowly missing being speared through his abdomen. The water recoiled and returned to the form it had started in. The ball lashed out once more, catching Kurama off guard and clipping his shoulder.

He landed on the ground gracefully, returning the grass to its original form. Reaching into his hair, he pulled out a rose and lashed out.

Kiko raised her eyebrows, "Gonna use your famous rose whip, eh?"

"I have no choice, Kiko."

"Then let's do this."

Hiei was close to finding them. He could sense Kurama's energy clashing with Kiko's.

Another energy flare came up behind him. Turning around, he noticed a portal appear out of nowhere. Yusuke and Kuwabara stepped out of that portal. Hiei noticed the grave looks on their faces.

"What are you two doing here?"

"We have to arrest the girls."

"What? Kiko didn't do anything."

"She conspired to Botan's death. She was the mastermind, Hiei."

"I'm not having any part of it."

"Whatever, Hiei. We have a job to do. I don't like it anymore than you do, but I can't say no."

"Hn..."

Kiko and Kurama's fight continued with neither showing any sign of slowing or tiring.

The two ran towards each other, preparing for another blow.

The three tantei arrived in time to see Kiko fall to the ground. She was obviously injured, as was Kurama, but she didn't seem to give up.

Kurama lashed out once more. The unprotected Kiko could not defend herself.

The attack hit, but Kiko was not the victim. Jauna had run in front of her friend, taking the blow from her brother's weapon.

Her bloody body fell to the ground. Kiko gathered her in her arms, "No, Kara...!"

"K- Kiko, y-you have to kill him..." said the dying demoness.

"Kara, please, don't leave me."

"I'm sorry, Kiko." Her hand grabbed Kiko's collar. Kiko leaned over as Jauna whispered into her ear, "For me..."

Her body went limp and her hand fell to her side.

Kiko gently lay the female kitsune down on the ground and stood up. She picked up her katana and stared into Kurama's eyes.

"She's dead, Kurama. You killed her, you bastard. And to think that if you hadn't screwed Botan, neither one of them would have had to die."

"Don't drag that subject into it."

"Why not? I wouldn't have wanted to get revenge if you hadn't betrayed me."

Kurama growled and charged. Kiko matched every step.

The three spectators gasped.

Kiko and Kurama stood with their backs to each other.

Kurama slowly turned around and began to walk to Kiko, "I'm sorry. You gave me no choice but to use my most powerful weapon."

"What are you ta-" Kiko's eyes squinted. She doubled over and sank to her knees, "What the hell did you do to me?"

"A seed that does not bloom into a tangible plant; one that becomes pain, fear and suffering."

Ear splitting screams emanated from her mouth as the pain coursed through her body. She became tense and rigid. Hiei, not being able to stand watching Kiko suffer, ran over to her. He embraced her in a hug, "Aishiteru."

"A- aish- shiteru, Hiei." Kiko fell prone to the ground.

Hiei faced Kurama with fire in his eyes.

Kurama looked confused, "You never told me you loved her."

"Until a few years ago, I didn't." He unsheathed his sword.

"Hiei, what are you doing?"

"You've gone too far, Kurama. Your foolishness has taken three lives, including your sister. This can't go unavenged."

"Hold on, Hiei," said Koenma's voice. The demi-god had arrived in person to help, "If you do that, you will be violating your parole."

"Fine."

His gaze returned to its original target, "Damn you, Kurama. Damn you to hell."

"Hiei..."

"Don't even try it, Kurama. You've pushed me beyond the point of reason."

Koenma tried to cut in, "Hiei, if you so much as lay a finger on him, you will be put to death."

"Do you not understand, toddler? I don't care what you do to me!"

Yusuke charged up another spirit gun, "Hiei, don't do it or I'll kill you on the spot!"

"The same thing goes for you, detective."

Hiei approached Kurama, "I never thought I'd ever have to do this."

"Hiei, don't," said Kurama.

The cold steel blade was positioned in front of his chest.

"You lost your right to mercy the second your teeth broke Botan's flesh. See you in hell."

Steel tore through flesh; both the spectators and those involved. The only exception was the owner of the hand in which the blade was being held, who showed no remorse.

Yusuke and Kuwabara ran to the two demons. Yusuke pulled Hiei away, taking the sword with him. Kuwabara grabbed Kurama as he fell.

Hiei struggled to break free from Yusuke's grasp, "Let me go, Detective."

"No, Hiei. I can't let you kill him."

"He has to pay for what he has done!"

"Don't you think he already has? His sister is dead, his mate is dead and Kiko is dead. He himself had even been injured. Do you really think killing him will do anything?"

Hiei sat still for a minute before fighting again, "Yes, it will. He killed someone I love."

Yusuke stood facing Hiei, "You'd really kill your best friend because he was defending himself? Kiko attacked him! He tried to talk to her. She wouldn't hear it!"

A third party sat watching overhead as Yusuke tried to talk sense into Hiei.

The koorime refused to see reason and continued to fight.

Yusuke had no choice but to fight back. He threw a few punches, a couple reaching their target.

Blood leaked out of Hiei's mouth and nose after a hit made contact with his face. Yusuke's blows continued.

Kuwabara sat on the sidelines, doing his best to keep the comatose demon at his side safe. Kurama's condition was worsening and there was nothing much he could do for him. He just continued to watch the fight.

Kiko, who happened to be the third party, watched as Yusuke beat Hiei senseless.

"Please, let me help him. He didn't know what he was doing," Kiko pleaded to (name), begging her to let her help Hiei.

"You care about him as much as he cares about you," (name) asked, "Yes, please just let me take over his body so he can defend himself, "Kiko cried back, her eyes welling up with tears.

"Okay, you may posses Hiei's body. And I'll make you a deal, if you can defeat Yusuke in Hiei's body in less than an hour, you can return to your body," (name) replied.

"Thank you," Kiko said, hugging (name) and soared towards Hiei's unconscious body.

The moment she entered, Hiei's soul began to struggle to push her out, "Calm down, Hiei, it's me."

"Kiko," Hiei asked.

"Yes, Sayaka allowed me to posses your body to help you fight back. She even said that if we beat Yusuke in less than an hour, I can return to my body," Kiko explained.

"Feh, this fight will take half the time she gave us," Hiei said.

In Reikai, Koenma sat in his desk. His in pile was slowly shrinking as he stamped the fates of human spirits. He heard a soft knock on the door.

Ayame entered quietly, "Koemna, Kiko has eluded the ferry girls. Sayaka caught up to him, but now Kiko has disappeared again."

"Leave her be. I think I know what she's doing." Ayame bowed out and shut the door behind her, leaving Koenma to finish his stamping.

He looked up to the screen just in time to see Kiko posses Hiei and sighed. Walking up to the screen to get a better look, Koenma spoke to himself, "I should have remembered that Rajika's vengeful traits would be passed down to Kiko."

Yusuke barely dodged a blow from Hiei/Kiko and fell onto his back, "What's wrong, Yusuke?" Hiei spoke, his voice mixed with Kiko's, "Ready to give up?" Yusuke stood up, "You wish." He fired his spirit gun and to everyone's surprise, Hiei didn't move. He stared right into the blast before stepping out of the way.

"Is that all you got? Well, it's not very good, is it?"

"Hiei, what's wrong with you?"

"My name is not Hiei."

"Kiko?"

"Bingo, genius."

"What are you doing here?"

"Kicking your ass!"

"I did nothing wrong!"

"You attacked me."

"I did not."

"Yes, you did! You shot without even considering who you were aiming at."

"How was I supposed to know? Kara had taken on your form!"

"And now she's dead!"

"She brought it upon herself! She was supposed to die anyway! There was nothing I could do about it."

"You still fired at me!" Hiei/ Kiko charged at Yusuke, Hiei's katana in hand.

Yusuke dodged many swings from the sword.

"You're not fighting back. Surely your orders from Koenma were to kill me on sight. Why haven't you done so?"

"I can't hurt you."

"You've done that already."

"No..."

"I don't want to continue this conversation... you're stalling."

'Kiko, you have to hurry,' said Hiei inside their shared mind.

'I can't beat him if he doesn't fight.'

'Attack him anyway...'

'...'

'He attacked you!' Kiko snarled at Yusuke and continued to deal blows at him.

"Kiko, stop," yelled the spirit detective.

"No!"

'Kiko, you time is almost up.'

OMG, this is starting to suck. I'm so busy these days. I've got a job and marching band, so I don't have much free time to write. I've also got some problems with friends and family, so that cuts my already limited free time even shorter.

I might as well throw myself off a cliff. No one really cares about me right now. If I didn't already have my future planned out, I'd do just that.

If I get at least 5 reviews on this, I may update before my birthday. (July 10)

I have also noticed that all you people who were so impatient about my posting of Youko's Girl have not reviewed. If you people want me to post these, then you have to tell me that. I've had to discontinue several stories because I can't come up with any ideas. No one will help and my notebook is collecting dust, so if you want updates, tell me so. I can't read minds and neither can anyone else. If humans were meant to read minds, we wouldn't have mouths or fingers.
