Karuru reaches full power

Sakura started to weaken. ' Oh Yusuke…. Please help me…'

Just as though Yusuke heard her cries for help he came barging in. " SON OF A BITCH… PREPARE TO DIE!"

Karuru smiled. " I'm afraid you've come to late…. Demon world… will soon be mine!"

Yusuke glared at his enemy. His eyes were flaming with rage and they were thirsty for revenge. " You will not gain Demon world you monster… I will stop you… no matter what it takes."

Karuru let out a dark laugh as he turned his attention to the spirit sphere in his hand. " There is no way that you can beat me now. With Sakura's awakened powers… she has opened up the hidden powers within the spirit sphere and now they belong to me! I will be unstoppable."

" Not if I get it first."

Karuru smirked at Yusuke's challenge. He was indeed going to enjoy this. He had known from the beginning how dangerous Yusuke's powers could be. Under that punk appearance was the power of the most dangerous demon king that ever lived. However he knew it was going to take Yusuke a bit more time to reach that potential. " I so indeed look forward to your challenge Yusuke Urameshi… but as they say, all good things take time to form… you're just not there yet. I could easily crush you like a bug at your current levels."

" Wanna bet your live on that!" Yusuke hisses as he rushed toward Karuru. The demon lord didn't make a move as the young descendant of Raizen charged toward him with all his rage. A smirk appeared on his face as Yusuke jumped into the air and prepared an attack. His hand glowed a brilliant blue as he started shooting blasts at his rival.

The blue attacks of Yusuke's shot gun all were headed toward Karuru. The demon lord smirked as he lifted his fingers up to his chest and his fingers and soon his whole hand glowed blue… he then waved his fingers around his body and then the energy transformed into small colorful circles then into a blue lettering that surrounded his body. Karuru had used Yomi's defensive move, the demonic absorption wall. All of Yusuke's attack meet the energy wall and Karuru escaped without a scratch on him.

Yusuke eyes widened as he saw that his efforts were wasted on his enemy. This only manages to full Yusuke's anger even more. ' How is it possible that he is still standing there without a scratch on him! That attack should have done some damage.'

Karuru turned his gaze to Yusuke who was falling slowly to the ground.

" You can thank Yomi for that move… As long as I have enough energy… the absorption wall allows me to block any energy attack. With that in place you can not touch me…"

Yusuke landed on the ground with his right leg on the ground and his left knee bent. His eyes shaking in rage. He had no idea what he was going to do now. How he was going to even save Sakura… nothing he could think of would help at this point.

Kurama and Kuronue rushed in right about now. They both could feel the amazing power being collected from Sakura's body. Kurama turned his attention to Yusuke. " Yusuke? Are you okay?"

" I'm just fine…" His hissed as he stood up again. " The only problem right now is this bastard won't die!"

Karuru laughed. He turned his attention to the young girl who was giving him all his powers. She had finished her usefulness. She laid motionless on the ground. Kuronue walked up to her to make sure she was still alive. He nodded to his friends and picked Sakura into his arms. Karuru took the sphere into his hand again and smirked at Yusuke. " Now… my power is complete." He pushed the sphere into his body until it was no longer visible. A strong purple aura started to surround his body. Karuru let out a powerful scream as his powers started to urge throughout his whole body. Waves on energy started spreading around the room. The walls started to crack under the pressure.

Karuru looked rather pleased with the abilities he now possessed. He turned his attention. " Yusuke… As much as I would love to kill you right now… I want to test the limit of my powers against you… the descendant of the great demon king Raizen…. I want to fight you at your absolute best… not as you are now. When you indeed reach that great power I will be waiting.. and that will be the match of all time."

Yusuke glared at the enemy that was floating above and in front of him.

" Don't think I'm going to let you go that easily." Yusuke jumped back into the air and started to throw punches at Karuru. The demon lord dodged them with ease and from time to time he would block them with his finger. Karuru took too the offensive and started to punch Yusuke. The young teen could barley fight back let alone defend himself. All of Karuru's attacks hit their targets and Yusuke's body was badly bruised. Blood flowed down his lips. Karuru smirked as he twirled around kicking Yusuke in the back. Karuru floated above Yusuke and with his folded hands he knocked Yusuke to the ground. The young detective trembled as he barley managed to get up from the crater that he had formed.

Karuru floated several meters from the ground and glared at the young boy that laid before him. " It's sad how week you really are Yusuke. You will need lots of time before you are ready to face me in a real fight. I'll give you some time to prepare yourself. In 4 months I expect you to have mastered your full powers…. Tell then… my rival…"

With those words Karuru disappeared. Yusuke banged his fists into the ground. " Damn it! Karuru… he beat me like I was nothing!"

Kurama walked over. " Yusuke… You alright?"

Yusuke shot Kurama a half-angry expression. " Does it look like I'm alright!" He shouted. " Of course I'm not alright! I just got beaten by that jerk!"

" Listen Yusuke… I'll help you train… All of us… I can tell you… Yomi could really help you train…" Kurama suggested.

Yusuke stood up. " What ever it takes.. I will stop him…"

Sakura started to moan. " Yusuke?" She slowly opened her eyes. " Where am I?"

Yusuke walked over. " Are you alright Sakura?"

" Not really… I don't feel so good…"

" That's to be expected. Karuru did take all your energy." Kuronue stated.

" We can get him back… right?" Sakura questioned.

" We will." Kurama stated, " Just relax now."

Yusuke was too upset to say anything further. He formed two fists and marched outside. Sakura watched as Yusuke left. " Is he alright?"

" Yusuke just needs time to blow off some steam. He suffered a great loss… might take a while…"

Meanwhile while Yusuke was blowing off some steam Karuru was approaching Yomi's kingdom. Kururi looked up as he saw his lord above him. The demon lackey was amazed at the amount of power his master had obtained in the past few moments. The demon lord smiled back at his ally.

' Kururi I want you to take over living world. I will spend time assaulting spirit world. With my new powers I can literary be in more then one place… Don't you fail me…'

Kururi smiled up at his master. " Never shall I fail you… I will help you take care of everything…"

' Good… while you are at it… I expect you to gather me some more followers…'

" Yes master… anything you desire…"

Karuru smiled as he separated into three… all of the demons were exactly the same power. There was no decrease in power since the separation. Soon he disappeared to each of his target area's. Kururi smiled as he knew now… the fun was only beginning.

To be continued..

Hey everyone. How was that? Pretty good? I hope you all enjoyed it. I'm surprised it came out so good, since it is night time and my writing isn't at its peak at this hour. Well anyway, please review. Till next time.
