Well here we are! Chapter ten! Who would of thought I would get this far. I was sick today, and slept most of the day, but I am typing chapter ten now, mainly cuz I dreamed it. I dedicate this chapter to...Senpai, mainly because for some odd reason they were in my dream, and telling Kurama what to do... hmmm strange dreams, strange indeed, but anyway on to chapter 10.

"Strike him out, wait no don't strike him out!" –My Mom (not realizing that the inning changed last night as she walked out to get a drink, L.O.L she thought the Yankees were batting, then she found out the Sox were.)

Chapter Ten: Throne Fights

At the shrine the woman exorcist was pacing the room. The shrine maiden walked up to the pacing woman as she spoke. "My lord, what bothers you?" The woman stopped pacing to answer.

"My friend, he is dieing again..." I must return to him to help him... The maiden smiled.

"Sure, I'll make sure the two... visitors... get out safely." The golden haired woman smiled.

"Yes I trust you, when they exit the castle, like I know they will, tell them that I had to leave early." With out waiting for a response she headed down the stairs and then disappeared, so the maiden looked back to the painting....

"Please hurry back, if the Head Priest finds out you are in there he will punish me" the shrine maiden went back to watching the progress of the two demons.

"Hahahaha!" The ghost was laughing maniacally, "Just as I remembered!" Hiei and Jonathan found themselves at the base of a large stairwell. At the top, a large door blockaded the entrance to the throne room. Hiei stared at his surroundings; they had finally made it to the top of the castle. The moon shone brightly overhead, and seemed like an ominous warning to the two trespassers.

"Hmn, it's about time we made it." The ghost laughed. "Damn it, you really have to be less cheerfull, what's so fun about being a ghost?" The ghost continued laughing.

"Nothing! But anyway, it was fun guiding ya' but I can't go in there, the holy weapons of the Belmont clan are in there, I would be destroyed." Hiei smirked.

"Not a bad idea, ghostie." Hiei walked up the stairs and as he reached the top, the heavy door swung open. Hiei stepped into the room, inside was a giant throne, with statues in the back oozing blood. "Now this is my kind of place," Hiei muttered to himself. In the middle of the room was a large pedestal, it held a whip, an axe, a crucifix, and a bottle of holy water. The dragon smirked, "Well that was easy..." he reached out to grab the bottle of water but a sudden voice halted him in his tracks.

"Hold up, demon...."

Kurama had made it to the bottom most area of the castle, the underground cemetery. The imp came whizzing by Kurama's its shrill voice was echoing through out the cavernous crypt.

"Kuraaaammaaaa! Guess what Kurama? I found this!" the imp held out a bloody dagger in his two hands the red haired youkai frowned.

"Demi, put the knife down." The imp, Demi, smiled mischievously.

"Yes master!" The imp swung around in circles, and then let go of the knife. Kurama had to duck as the knife Demi flung would have hit him in the center of the forehead. The knife hit the wall and bounced to the floor. "Sorry master..." Kurama smiled.

"It's ok Demi, just leave it there."

"Yes master." Kurama started to walk away but was cut off by a dead body that had walked out from one of the crypt doors.

"What in the world?" Demi flew to the kitsune and hid underneath his hair.

"It's a zombie..." Kurama frowned; his curiosity had just been piqued.

"Let us follow it." Demi shook inside Kurama's mane of hair, but said nothing. Kurama and the imp followed the zombie further into the cemetery. As they went in deeper, more zombies gathered together and walked into another room. Inside the room the zombies all combined to make a giant ball of corpses. A Legion.

"Who the hell are you?" the fire apparition asked the guy who was standing in the doorway behind him. The man wore a brown coat down to his knees and weird red pants. The man smiled, making his goatee and mustache shift with the movement of his mouth.

"I am owner of those weapons you are trying to steal, I am Julius Belmont." He became transparent as the ghost waiting outside, and passed right through Hiei, and was standing before the weapons. Hiei was shocked at what the human could do. Julius took his weapons and said, "If you want them, you can have them...OVER MY DEAD BODY!"

Julius whipped out and smashed Hiei's forehead with his Vampire Killer Whip. The cut it made burned Hiei's flesh and he had to hold back a scream.

Hiei faded and appeared behind the angry Belmont. With lightning speed he drew out his katana, and swung it at the Belmont. Julius smiled as he became transparent and the sword passed right through his neck. Julius grabbed the katana with his chain whip, and with a laugh broke the blade with a mere flick of his wrist. "Well demon, are you ready to die?" Hiei recovered from the shock of being bested and fell to his knees. Julius walked over to the fallen youkai, and raised the whip over his head. Hiei jumped up as he screamed.

"ARGHHH!! NOW YOU WILL PAY!!" Hiei swung the butt end of the sword's handle at Julius's head, where it made contact with his temple with a sickening THWACK! The Belmont fell to the floor as if all his bones had been melted away. "That was my favorite katana, punk." He discarded the broken sword and grabbed the holy water off of the body of the Belmont. "As much as I would want to kill you, I wont, you are a vampire killer, and a good one, so I will carry you out of the castle..." Hiei grabbed the unconscious form and walked back out of the throne room.

Outside the ghost was waiting for him. "Sorry chap, had to let him in, he could have destroyed me quickly." Hiei growled under his breath.

"It doesn't matter... now what's the quickest way outta here?" Jonathan pointed to a room.

"That room there is a teleport room. It will take you to the hall of illusions and then, from there, to the entrance." Hiei growled again.

"You mean we didn't have to do all that walking and wasting time?! MY FRIEND WAS DYING! I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!" The ghost frowned.

"Ok, I'll guide you." And then they stepped into the teleport room, where Hiei felt the oddest sensation, as his body was transported one cell at a time along with the ghost's...

Kurama jumped back as the ball of corpses moved near. "I am sensing a large amount of demon energy emanating from this creature, which could mean..." The red haired kitsune decided to take a chance, one that might cost him his life if he failed. "Rose Whip!" The rose transformed into the whip, with out harming the demon. "Hmm, we can now use our demon powers..." the Legion moved in closer, forcing Kurama to drop back a step.

Kurama whipped the rose stem at the Legion, causing several zombies to fall from it, and they too started to attack the demon. Demi came out from hiding at last.

"Leave them to me, master" he chuckled manically as he stabbed one of the zombies with his pitch fork, taking control of it, causing the zombie to kill off the others, leaving Kurama to attack the main foe.

Kurama kept flailing the whip in what seemed a wild pattern, but in a few moments, the ball of corpses had just crumpled to a pile of miscellaneous body parts, leaving the core of the Legion, a giant eye with lasers on three tentacles.

The yoko had to dodge the tentacles as they flailed about shooting lasers wildly and randomly. Kurama gave a mighty swing with whip and hit the Legion Core in the eye. It emitted a loud piercing shriek as it disappeared into the wall. Kurama had to gasp for breath.

"Well, that was a work out." He looked around, "Demi, what's the quickest way out of here, I need to find Hiei." Demi looked around also.

"Master Kurama, there is a teleport room near by, it will take you to the hall of illusions, and then to the castle corridor, the main one." Kurama smiled.

"Shall we go then?"

!#$&()

Hiei, Jonathan, and the unconscious Belmont found themselves in a long hall, with walls that kept shifting colors and shapes. Jonathan was the first to speak. "Hall of illusions indeed..." there was a sudden clap of thunder in the air. Hiei looked around the room. "Some one else is coming Hiei!" and indeed a large reddish fox demon had appeared on the opposite side of the hall. The fiend had huge claws, and teeth to match, and there was a stranger, smaller creature next to it, carrying a small pitch fork...

!#$&()

Kurama and the imp, Demi, appeared in the hall of illusions, but they weren't alone. At the opposite end of the hall was a large, black serpent, a ghost and an unconscious man, whose head was all bloody. "Master, I'm scared..." Kurama smiled.

"Do not fear little one. It would seem the only threat would be from the serpent. I'll take care of him so we can move on to the corridor, ok?" The imp nodded and hid behind the kitsune. Kurama charged forward, ready to attack...

!#$&()

"Hiei, that bloody thing is attacking!" Jonathan, meaning the red fox. Hiei hissed.

"I know, damn it!" And he too lunged forward.

Hall of illusions indeed, as Jonathan Harker had put it... it would seem that Hiei and Kurama are now fighting each other without even realizing it, how hilarious. Will they kill each other? Or will they find out the truth? FIND OUT NEXT TIME ON YUYU HAKUSHO!

p.s. Well I think I explained some things in castlevania kinda well, like how Julius loses his memory. (I think I'd lose mine if I was smashed in the temple by Hiei...) How the head priest's daughter, Mina Hakuba, comes to the world by the promiscuous shrine maiden. L.O.L, but any ways that's all for now, so take care friends...
