Chapter 4

----------------------------------------------------------------

Here it is, the wonderful disclaimer. I DON"T OWN YU YU HAKUSHO.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Well here's the fourth chapter and it's a good one, but pay close attention or you'll get lost.

Hiei: You mean like you do all the time?

Shut up. Here's the fourth chapter!!

------------------------------------------------------------------

Kurama: It is time.

In the distance there are screams of humans who are being attacked by the demons.

Genkai: Yusuke, get out there with the others. They will need your help.

Yusuke: I can't, I swore that...

Genkai: Move now!!

Yusuke reluctantly leaves Keiko's side.

While everyone is preparing for battle, the clouds cover the moon.

Kurama: Yusuke, try not to waste all of your energy on the first demon who walks through the barriers. You would be no good to us after that.

Yusuke: Don't worry. I'm saving as much as I can for the one who sliced Keiko.

The moon has been completely covered by the clouds. Kurama knows that they have little chance at winning this fight.

Hiei: Kurama, no matter what, you have to stay focused.

Kurama: I'll be fine.

Yusuke: Keiko told me that there were two sets of demons. One was led by a woman with a crown who looked sad and her face was hard and cold. She also had the reddest hair you ever saw. The other group was shorter, like Hiei's size. Keiko said they all were except for the girl. She also said that they thought the demons were actually Hiei even when one pulled a sword on them and........



Hiei: They did what?!?!?!?!?!



Yusuke: Hold on a minute. Then she said that gold bonds shot out of their...........



Kurama: Yukina already gave us this information.



Hiei: All except for the fact that one pulled a sword on them and they thought they were me. What did they think? That I was playing a trick with my Jagan?



Kurama: Precisely.



Yusuke: Anyway, she said that as soon as the girl demon told them to take her with the other group got pissed. They were fighting over her and then heard us coming. She also said that she heard one say that the power will not save her next time.



Kurama: That much is to be expected. After all, if the ruler of the demon world gets the jewel then they will be able to launch a successful attack on the unknown world and if the unknown world gets it then all worlds will bow to it. They will also need Keiko alive or the jewel will "die" as well.



Yusuke: You sure know a lot about this. And how could you possible know that they need Keiko alive?



Kurama: You forget that I was a master thief in the demon world. All my life I wanted those jewels. I learned as much as I could about them. That's how.



Yusuke: Oh, I forgot.

Hiei: You may be Spirit Detective, but you certainly don't act like it sometime.

Kuabara: Will you all shut up. I'm tryin ta concentrate.

Yusuke: You! Concentrating!

Kuabara: Yeah! That's right, I am. I'm tryin ta sense how close the demons are.

Hiei: What a waste, I've been using my Jagan for the last hour and nothing has approached us yet.

Kuabara: You're wrong! They're about 150 yards away, and closing.

Hiei: That's not possible! I can't see them.

Kuabara: Stop using that stupid eye and use your awareness you dumb ass!!

Hiei: What did you....

Kurama: Hiei, do you sense that?!?

Hiei stops and indeed feels a strong demon sense but it seems unnatural.

Kuabara: On the RIGHT!!

Yusuke: MOVE!... Spirit Gun!...

**Blows demons head off.**

Kuabara: It looks like Shrimpy.

Hiei: Do not insult me.

Kurama: It only has his height. He looks nothing like him. He does not even have a Jagan.

Kuabara: How could you know that? Yusuke blasted his head off.

Kurama: He would have either dodged it or stopped it dead in its tracks.

Yusuke: I hit him but, it's almost like I hurt myself 'cause when I hit him in the head I got a bad pain.

Kurama: You couldn't have. He would have to either draw blood from you or be an assassin.

Hiei: Or a scout.

Kurama: Yes, and this is more than likely a scout. That means that the Princess and the unknown demons will be here in a matter of minutes.

Yusuke(To himself): Don't worry Keiko, I will protect you. They won't touch you, stay strong.

**Inside temple.**

Genkai: I have a bad feeling about this. Someone who wasn't even very strong broke through the force field of talisments. We are going to have problems.

Botan: Genkai, her fever is getting worse and it's almost like she's trying to get up to fight.

Yukina: She can't, she'll die if she does. She needs all her strength to stay alive with that jewel inside of her.

**Keiko sits up and screams.**

Outside 5 minutes earlier.

Yusuke: I don't get it. They should have been here by now.

Kurama: Perhaps they want us to lower our defense before striking.

Yusuke: I hate this. We're like little puppe.....

**They hear Keiko's scream.**

Yusuke: Keiko!!

Kurama: They couldn't be inside of the temple. We would have seen them.

**They all rush in the temple.**

Boys all together: What happened??

Genkai: They're attacking her mentally!! We can't fight them if they're in her head.

Kurama: They are attacking her spirit energy as well, and we don't know how long she will be able to hold on. They are getting close. They know she has the jewel and the closer they get the more pain she will have.

Yusuke: Do something, damn-it.

Kurama: They may already be waiting to fight us outside. That's Keiko's only chance now. We have to fight them off.

Kuabara: They're at the shrine at the bottom of the stairs. We haven't got any time.

**The boys rush outside.**

Kurama: I estimate that they will reach the top in preciously 3 minutes & 28 seconds.

Hiei: Let them come.

Kuabara: I can see them. There's a girl with them. She just like Keiko and Yukina described her, she's pretty except that she has hard, cold eyes. Nothing pleasant about them. She has a necklace with a strange crest on it.

Kurama: That is the Royal Demon Crest. She is the demon princess then.

Hiei: Others are coming from the left. They look like me.

Kurama: Not at all surprising. Either her warriors or the enemy. Quickly, both of you what color are the capes of all the short ones.

Kuabara: The ones attacking in front all have red ones.

Hiei: The ones on the side are wearing blue. They're from the unknown world.

Kurama: How far away are they?

Kuabara: They're on the last two talisments.

Hiei: They're only at the bottom. They look as if they are stalling.

Kurama: More than likely waiting for those from demon world to fight so they are fresh to fight for Keiko.

Yusuke: I see them.

Suddenly hundreds of demons flock onto the temple grounds. They are all cloaked and have an ax, a sword, or a club. A demon floats above them wearing a violet cloak instead of red like the others.

Kurama: Aiyka?

**Aiyka laughs.**

Aiyka: Who is this Aiyka? I am Shinato. Princess and heir to the thrown of Demon World and once we have this jewel shard all worlds will bow to me.

Yusuke: You're wrong.

Shinato: I am.

Yusuke: Yeah, 'cause as long as can still breath I will never let you take Keiko or our world.

Shinato: Oh, Keiko, is that her name. Well thank you for telling me. Now I can address her properly.

Yusuke: You won't be addressing anyone except my fist.

Shinato: Is that so. I could blow you away with one wave of my pinky. But I'm gonna have a little fun first and tell you something you should know. If that unknown world, as you call it, gets their hands on the last jewel shard, you would all see the meaning of pain. They may have three of the four shards but if I get this one I will be unbeatable. You see the others were found in males and so they weren't as pure and they weren't blue either. Instead they were of the lesser powers with the colors gold, white, and red. All we need is the blue and we will be unbeatable.

Yusuke: Well you'll have to go through me first.

Shinato: You are pretty cocky for a human. I told I could defeat you with a simple flick of my pinky. don't you believe me?

Yusuke (Smiles evil, you can't scare me with that bull shit, smile): Try it.

Shinato: Fine. (Flicks pinky.)

There is a sudden gust of pressure but none of them move and inch.

Shinato: You can't be human! Any human would have flown back 500 yards at least with that simple flick.

Yusuke: You better believe we are. We aren't exactly normal but, we are human, except for those two.(Points to Kurama and Hiei.) They're demons.

Shinato: Is that so.

Kurama: Aiyka!! It's me, Kurama. You were the only one when we were children to know that as my real name. Don't you remember? Our hideout, our school, our friends.

Shinato: I do not. You are trying to use physic powers on me. Showing me illusions.

Kurama: NO! They're memories. Please, remember.

Aiyka: Kurama??

Shinato: Don't listen, he's trying to trick you. Kurama, I know that name. you killed my human parents!! KILL THEM!!

Kurama: No, she almost remembered.

Yusuke: Shotgun.

**Blows away half of the warriors.**

Shinato: You can manipulate your spirit energy!?! Well, well, you are full of surprises.

Shinato says a chant and her warriors triple in size.

Hiei: It's no good, if all of them die she will still have more that she can upon. She has no limits.

Kurama: Don't give up just yet.

Shinato: Attack my black knights, ATTACK!!

-----------------------------------------------------

Oh no!! What will happen next? How can Kurama fight his childhood friend?

Will they survive the army that cannot die?

Will Yusuke keep his promise and prevent Keiko from being kidnapped and/or killed?

You'll have to wait and see.

Let me know what you think, flames are welcome. I will be able to know what I should work on.
