Well it's that time again… time for another chapter to be put into place… I have no idea how I want to end this anymore… hmmm recent events make me want to end it a certain way… but I already know someone's reaction to that…. They told me… but Soon will be the inevitable showdown between the two former lovers, Hiei and Kurama , and who or what will happen… I don't know. LEAVE ME ALONE! –Cries in a corner-sigh- that's so like me… well if you are reading this I should see you in the end. Well maybe…
Interviewer: So why do you think you are a woman in a man's body?
Man/woman: (Really deep voice) 'Cause I get menstrual cramps… Real bad menstrual cramps…
Don't blame me; I got it from Lin…
Chapter Twenty-Two: The Strange Case of (Dr.) Kurama and (Mr.)Yoko (Revised)
Kurama let the liquid fire pour down his throat, every second the potion went down, the pain in his throat increased. The potion burned all the way to his stomach. Natalie watched with glee as the potion emptied from the vial. After the potion was drank, Kurama dropped the vial and fell to the floor next to the broken glass of the potion vial. Natalie stepped back as a red mist ushered forth from the fallen kitsune's mouth. The fox disappeared from view as the mist shrouded the booth. The woman had to back out the door as the mist was gagging her, outside she could hear the scream reverberating of the brick wall of the booth…
After about half an hour of torturous screams, the forest fell silent, there was nothing but the sound rapid beating of Natalie's rapidly beating heart as she waited in anticipation of the result of their hard work. Her breathing slowed as minutes dragged on in silence. She sighed as she turned away and sighed, giving up hope of all her efforts and hopes, thinking them as nothing as fleeting dreams. "Well I guess some things are too good to be true." She sighed as she turned to leave the island; she was now wanted for murder and treason against the Spirit World, but a voice echoed through calling her back, one she had not heard before, but was everything she hoped for.
"Where are you going, my Lord?" It was a strong voice, one full of a calm coolness, mingled with malice and power; it was the voice of Yoko Kurama.

Hiei struggled against the tide; a storm was raging, as it always seemed, around the area of where the dark tournament was held. The rain pelted against his face and his mouth filled with sea water as he struggled forward toward the island, his destination now in sight on the distant horizon. Be prepared Kurama. Your time will come…his mind drifted even more… how could you be that way? So cold and heartless, you make me seem like a saint, yet I still care about you… Hiei shook his head as if trying to shake the thoughts from his mind. How can I be so weak? I must focus on the task at hand, the elimination of my weakness, as well as the threat to the world…

Natalie smiled "Well I see the potion worked." The yoko smiled, his hair glimmered in the damp air, some how. He smiled widely.
"My Lord, it would seem we have company approaching." Natalie faced north, the forest blocked the view of the ocean, but she could sense the approaching energy coming from that direction (so that's how they know what direction is what!).
"Yes we will take care of him when he gets here." Natalie pulled up her hood, wanting to try out her new toy (Ha, Kurama is a toy… weird…). "Kurama, we need to get rid of this body." She pointed toward the body of the old woman. Kurama stepped forward toward Natalie and leaned forward, coming inches to her face. His gray eyes glinted with a hidden desire as he smiled. Natalie's orangey eyes went wide with shock and pain… (as they always seem to do in these action animes) blood spurted from her mouth, as the yoko pulled away. She looked down and saw the end of the scalpel jutting from her between her breasts. The blood soaked through her brown robes as she fell to her knees. Kurama kept the smile plastered on his face. "But, you cant do that… I control you, I added it in, the pacifier was supposed to allow me to control you." She coughed up more blood, as Kurama loomed over her, smiling.
"You can't control the untamable; you should have known that with your manipulation of the weather. It's impossible…" Natalie's face hit the dirt, the glint of life was slipping from her eyes. Kurama smiled as he left the woman to die in the dirt. "It's time to meet face to face, well Hiei… this is what you wanted, this is the me you were so curious to see." He walked north to the beach to meet up with Hiei who was now a few mere minutes away.
Well it is drawing to a close. Anybody out there reading this, should read Negima, Akamatsu's newest series…it's hi-larious! Though the main character looks like Haitani… at the age of ten… but anyway, who woulda guessed Natalie's death… I did! I hated her anyway… but find out what happens next time on YUYU HAKUSHO! (maybe last one?)
