A/N: Hello everyone. What's up? Well once again thank you all for reading my story and for all your comments. Remember suggestions are always welcome. Well I think you have had enough of my babbling… here is the next chapter.

Awaited Battle

Kuronue looked at Kurama. " Finish them off Kurama…. Give them the full potential of the fox within you."

Kurama nodded and glared at the Rekai Tantei. " You have sealed your fate by challenging this fox!"

Yusuke looked at his former partner. " We will just have to see about that."

Kurama smirked. " You have only seen the surface of what I can do."

Yusuke smiled back. " Then this promises to be one of the best fights that I have ever fought."

Kurama flipped his hair back as he pulled out a red rose. " Very well Yusuke." He lifted it in the air and it started to glow. The once beautiful rose became a long and sharp whip. The whole area started to smell like roses.

The fight had already just started and Yusuke was already at a disadvantage. Kurama smiled. " There is no way that you will be able to defeat me with just your bear hands and the Spirit Gun. I will not fall for that. You never had a chance in beating me."

Yusuke narrowed his eyes. " Don't think just because I have a disadvantage against your whip that it's all over. Because my dear friend… it's not. You have been defeated before and one way or another I will find out how to defeat you."

Kurama smiled. " I'll give you one thing Yusuke. You are not easily discouraged. At least now…. I will have a fairly good warm up." The powerful fox demon closed his eyes and his energy level began to increase. A white fog like substance surrounded Kurama. Soon he transformed into his true form. His long red hair became a silver color. His green eyes became golden. A cold expression came on his face as well as a cruel smirk.

Yusuke got in his fighting stance and let his aura surround him. The spirit detective got his game face on. He knew this was going to be a challenging fight and as always he was looking forward to it.

Kuwabara stepped forward. " URAMESHI! Are you crazy… you aren't going to seriously fight Kurama all by yourself are you?"

" Don't worry about it Kuwabara. I can take care of it myself."

Hiei closed his eyes for a second and then broke a smirk. " He has a point. Besides you wouldn't last five minutes against a serious Kurama."

" Don't bore me Yusuke. I expect nothing but your all."

" You don't have to worry about that….. I won't hold back. Friend or not, I will defeat you right here and now."

" That's what you think." Yoko smiled as he charged at Yusuke. His whip ready to strike. He was so fast Yusuke lost track of him.

Yusuke looked around. " Damn it… where is he!" Suddenly sharp blades of grass came forth from the ground. Lucky for Yusuke he saw the attack in time and jumped into the air to avoid it. ' That was close….'

Without much warning Yoko Kurama appeared behind Yusuke and brought his whip down. The sharp thorns slashed Yusuke skin. The force of the blow sent Yusuke flying to the ground. There was a large impact. Yusuke trembled in a large crater.

Yoko Kurama smiled as he stood on top of a mesh of tall grass. " Come now Yusuke. This is hardly worth my time."

Yusuke slowly got to his feet. He looked at Kurama with frustrated eyes.

" This fight isn't over yet Kurama."

Yoko laughed. " It might as well be. You won't be able to lay a hand on me. With my ability to control everything around me…. There is nothing you can do."

" I'll get threw your plants…." Yusuke smiled, " One way or another."

Kurama smirked. " I'll humor you. Why don't you say hello to my Mimosa!" With his energy he feed his planet calling it forth. The large planet came forth. It could sense Yusuke's fear and it attacked. Yoko smiled,

" I guess you'll be my plants target today Yusuke."

Yusuke frowned and narrowed his eyes. ' Damn it… being eaten by a plant would be really stupid!' Yusuke tried to run away from the large plant but it's long stems kept up with him. Yusuke then got an idea. He started to run toward Kurama.

Yoko smirked. " I know your plan Yusuke. You want my plant to attack me."

" That's not all! If I'm going to become plant food…. Then I'm taking you with me!"

' Foolish….' Yoko closed his eyes and summoned a second one. This one was just as big. It attacked Yusuke from another angle.

Yusuke was completely surrounded. He powered up his shotgun and shot it at the large plant. The large plant was furious, as it became more vicious. Kurama laughed. " You fool! Now your death has been assured. My mimosa becomes even more deadly once someone attacks it."

The large Mimosa plants finally caught Yusuke. Kuwabara looked up in shock. " Urameshi!"

Yoko Kurama laughed. " Enjoy your meal my lovely mimosas." He started to walk away when suddenly the mouths of the mimosa plants started to budge. Then a cracking like sound could be heard. Yoko narrowed his eyes as he turned around. Just as he did so, his mimosa plants exploded.

Yoko Kurama raised his arm to shield his eyes. Out from the debris came Yusuke. Yoko growled as he stared at him. Yusuke smirked. " Looks whose back."

Kuwabara sighed. " Gosh Urameshi! Don't scared me like that."

" Don't think just because you defeated my mimosa but I still have lots more where that came from."

Yusuke smiled. " Bring it on Yoko."

" You asked for it….." Yoko pulled out two more roses. " Try to dodge this!" The two rose formed. " PETALS AND TORNS!" He shouted. Many petals were in the air and they started to strike Yusuke.

Yusuke tried to dodge them but everywhere he went he was getting cut with the sharp petals. The spirit detective had many cuts on his body. Four on his face and many on his legs and arms.

Yoko narrowed his eyes as his three rose whips rapped around his arm becoming a dagger. He charged Yusuke again. " Now you die…." The fox demon was below Yusuke within one blink of the eye. A smirk was plastered on his face as he slashed across Yusuke's chest quickly.

Kuwabara was in shock as he saw his friend get cut down. A long semi deep line was cut into his chest. Blood was spilling out from the newly made wound. Kuwabara's eyes widened as he saw Yusuke hit the ground. " NO URAMESHI!"

To be continued…

Well everyone. How was that? Pretty good? I don't really know how good it was. It seems alright. But I really could use some suggestions at this point. I'm running of ideas on these battles. So please review as always. Till next time.
