Reveiwers make me so happy. Well here's another chapter for you all. It's time for battle, lets all hope no one's hurt. I'm just writing as I go, so I don't even know what's going to happen.

Speaking of reveiwers, I waited impatiently for you people to review so I could put this one up. I can't wait to get to the next chapter, it's my favorite. Since the story has sunk on the list of stories, I decided to put this one up now. No worries though, it wasn't really too long. I just like hearing what people think of my story.

Darksaphire: Thank you very much for the idea. I love it. I'm always willing to take suggestions and use them most of the time. I'll add that a little in chapter eleven. Reviews are a sure way to make that come faster. Two reviews per chapter will get another chapter. So thank you for reviewing my story, it's truly appreciated. I've been waiting impatiently for another review. Oh and cool name.

It's a Secret: Chapter 8

As they entered the library they saw the book lying in a glass case in the middle of the room. What they also saw though, was the giant lord of the castle, looming before them, his shadow covering the whole group. So they readied for battle.

Youko had his wand ready, hovever, it had taken the form of a spear. Nori drew some small poisoned throwing daggars, and Shizuka raised her bow. Yomi didn't use weapons, but you could feel his spirit energy rising. Kuronue had never put his blade away in the first place.

The tiger lord wasted no time in attacking them. He swept one of his paws out with surprising speed. They all leapt out of the way, but Nori ended up with a deep gash on his arm. The room filled with orange light as the tiger launched a huge blast at Nori, clearly intending to pick them off one by one. He couldn't get out of the way in time, and as it was about to hit him, Shizuka jumped in front of the blast, her bow snapping instantly. She flew into her brother and they both hit the ground, losing conciosness together. She seemed to have suffereds quite a few injuries, but nothing serious.

As the demon prepared to strike out at the now unconcious siblings, Youko decided to stop him. He calmly leapt into the air above him and stabbed downward with his weapon. It struck true, and Youko sliced completely down it's right arm, making it unusable. The tiger cried out in pain and outrage.

With a feral roar, it swung its other paw at Youko. During this time, Kuronue had been focousing his energy for something big. As Youko continued to evade the massive demons killing swipes, he let loose his energy, a giant pendelum was forming above the tiger's head. It slowly began to swing downwards, but it went unnoticed by the demon, who was too blinded with fury to see anything but his Kitsune victim.

Yomi had finally gotten Nori and Shizuka to a safer area, and rushed back in to help them. He used his powers to bind the demon in place, allowing Youko a chance to retaliate. Vines that were covered in some strange power crept up the demon's body. Kuronue had an idea of what this was, so he swiftly let his pendelum drop.

As it fell towards the demon, the demon energy it emmited activated the powder now covering the demon's body, the powder exploded, painfully ending the demon's life as Kuro's attack cut through his skull. The exploding continued however, and the group rushed to get out of the room.

Kuronue flew towards the case in the middle of the room, and grabbed the book before it could come to any harm. While he did save the book, the explosions started by his own energy closed around him. He cried out in agony as explosions encircled him from all angles, blood gushing out his wounds. Then everything went black.

Okay this is even shorter than the last one, but as I said, two parts. Sorry to leave you hanging like that, but there's something different I want to try after what happened to Kuro this chapter.

His wand is from chapter 5, he uses it as a weapon and the seeds in it can be released at any time, or plunged into an enemy's body with the weapon. That is where the vines came from.

Remember to review. At least two will get you the next chapter. It's my favorite because of the violent Youko and the 'special guest' We'll see how Kuro fares after that on the next chapter of, It's a Secret. (no pun intended)
