No one hurts our loved ones

The battle was insane from the start their, attacks were flying and both were kicking the heck out of each other. The rest of the gang watched on in horror as it seemed as though Genkai was losing her advantage. Kururi smiled as he quickly grabbed on to Genkai and began to flip her. As he did so the cracking of her bones could be heard. He banged her onto the ground and then slammed his foot into her causing the elderly fighter to cough up a large amount of her blood. Keiko's eyes widened in total fear and she screamed.

" YUSUKE HELP US!"

Yusuke snapped his head up as he heard his girlfriend's cry for help. He got up and began to rush off.

" Urameshi! Where are you going?"

" I have to help them! That bastard is going to kill them!" With that Yusuke rushed off with the others in close pursuit. ' Hang on Keiko! I'm coming to save you!'

The young Mazoku could feel the pain that was being inflected on his master and he growled as he picked up the pace. Kurama and the others found it rather difficult to keep up with their friend. Kuwabara turned to Kurama, " What do you suppose happened?"

" Keiko and Yusuke must have a link with each other in some way. Also, Yusuke has a deep connection with Genkai so I would gather that he feels the pain or fear the other does. Something must have happened back in living world." At that very moment a vision snapped into his mind.

Kururi had already finished off Genkai and the elder fighter had appeared to be lifeless. Koenma narrowed his eyes and he reached up to his mouth to pull out his 'pacifier' The powerful demon laughed at him. " What do you think you are going to do with that?"

" I'm going to seal you in a near frozen state, once I have done this you will not be able to move and you will be trapped for all time."

Kururi laughed at him. " Do you honestly think something like that will stop me! Spare me…"

Koenma held it up in his hand and the pacifier began release a great amount of energy. As the time went by the energy level around it increased. Kururi narrowed his eyes and looked slightly concerned. Once the full force of the energy was revealed he sent it straight at Kururi.

The demon laughed as he charged up his own aura and a battle between the two fighters began with nothing but their aura. At this point there seemed to be a deadlock between them but every once in a while one would seem to have a little bit of an advantage over the other. Five minutes had passed since the struggled began and Kururi got his second wind and his power exploded, destroying Koenma's energy entirely. The prince of the spirit world was thrown back and landed hard on the ground.

Kururi looked down at him with a bit of a smirk and slowly approached him. Koenma's body trembled as he saw the powerful demon coming right at him. His eyes were close to closing as Kururi stood not even a foot away from him. " No, this should have worked….I tried my hardest, and even that wasn't enough, I'm sorry Yusuke, Kurama, everyone… I tried…." With that Koenma passed out.

Kururi snickered. " This is extremely easy. I have already taken care of two pests now I only have a few more." He spat at the ground to show disgrace for the two fighters and he approached the temple where everyone else was.

Inside the building, Shiori saw everything and she was in a state of total shock. " Oh no, Shuichi… help me…. Help me….HELP ME."

Kurama then snapped out of the vision and had a look of great concern on his face.

" MOTHER!" He narrowed his eyes and in an instant transformed himself into Youko Kurama. The now transformed spirit fox rushed off ahead of Kuwabara and caught up with Yusuke.

Kuwabara tried to catch his breath as everyone else was getting way ahead of him.

" They are just too fast, I can't keep up with them." Just as Kuwabara began to slow down he too got a vision.

He sees Yukina smiling at him. " Kazuma, you're so funny and so kind, thank you for everything."

Kuwabara smiled. " No man wouldn't treat a woman like you badly… I'd do anything for you Yukina."

" I'm grateful to you…." Soon the nice vision was totally shattered and Kuwabara saw Yukina crying and there were bodies of his friends and family all over the place.

" KAZUMA HELP ME! I'M SCARED"

Kuwabara snapped out of the vision and in a flash he got some renewed strength in his power of love. " YUKINA!" He shouted as he darted ahead of everyone leaving a dust trail behind.

There was a little sense of relief on the faces of the other people there but it was short lived as they all became serious again not forgetting what they were here for. A few more minutes later they reached the portal that lead to living world. At the entrance stood some more of Kururi's demons. Yusuke grew angry and as he ran his energy began to explode once again and he pointing his finger at them, which began to glow a dark red. " GET OUT OF MY FUCKING WAY!" He shouted as he fired his Spirit gun blast.

The red energy shot at them like a cannon and the screams of the dying demons could be heard all the way through the tunnel. The group rushed through the portal and they soon arrived near the temple. They landed on the beginning of the path and the group rushed up the stairs to see exactly what they had witnessed in their visions.

The bodies of their loved ones were lying on the ground. Each member was in total shock as he went to check to see if they were all still alive. Kurama rushed over to his mother's side. He picked her up and looked at her with worried eyes. Even as Youko Kurama he had a strong feeling with the woman that brought him into this world. For an instant he deformed back and lightly shook his mother, " Mother, please wake up…" There was no movement from the woman's body. Tears began to form in his eyes. " No…. don't leave me mother…" He choked out as he placed her head on his chest, sobbing.

" Shu….ichi…." His mother said weakly.

Kurama's eyes widened with joy as he saw his mother was still alive. " Thank goodness, you're alright mother."

" You're…. here…. I was…. worried… you would…. not make it…."

Kurama's tears began to fall. " I'm sorry mother, I should have been here sooner. I should have been here to protect you…"

" I'll be… alright dear…. It's just… some small…. bruises…." She looked up at her soon again. " You're other friends…. Saved us from death…."

" Kido, and Kaitou… where are they?"

Shiori pointed her finger off to a far out part of the yard. " They gave it their all but it still wasn't enough…."

" Kururi… where is he?" Kurama stated in a demanding voice.

Shiori shook her head. " Don't know… just be careful…." With that she passed out in her son's arms.

Kurama picked her up and brought her into the temple. He placed her down and looked at her with a look of grief. ' I'm sorry mother. This shouldn't have happened.. but I swear I'll make Kururi pay for ever harming you…'

Yusuke rushed over to his master's side. " Genkai! Come on you old lady wake up damn it!"

Keiko moaned as she slowly got up behind him. Yusuke spun around and saw her.

" Keiko. Are you ok?"

" I've been better… but I'll be fine… Yukina protected us from the brunt of the attack…"

" What happened… what happened to Genkai?"

" Kururi, he broke almost every bone in her body… he ruthlessly attacked her, there was no honor in his fighting, he simply enjoyed seeing her in pain."

" That bastard is going to pay for this." Yusuke angrily stated as his demonic energy began to come forth even more.

Keiko took hold of Yusuke. " Yusuke… Just be careful. I don't want to be separated from you again, got that."

Yusuke smiled at her. " You got it. Once we kick these bastards asses I won't leave you again, I promise…" He helped her to her feet. " Get out of here Keiko, it's just too dangerous out here…"

Keiko nodded. " But what about everyone else…" She said as she looked around.

" Get them inside, we will take this fight elsewhere to keep you guys safe…" Yusuke stated.

Keiko nodded again. " Will do."

She quickly began work on taking everyone inside, starting with Genkai. On the other side of the lawn Kuwabara was embracing Yukina who was in the worst shape of all of them. " Yukina! I'm so sorry! I failed to protect you again!"

" Ka….zu…ma…." She muttered.

Kuwabara shook his head. " Don't talk… save your strength… I will take care of you now…." He picked her up into his arms and brought her inside where Youko was looking over his mother. " Hello Kurama… How's your mother doing?"

" With some rest I'm sure she will recover… How is Yukina?"

" She's hurt bad… she took the full force of it… to save everyone else…. She's very weak, I have to do something!"

Kurama pulled out a small seed from his pocket and let it bloom. " Here, Kuwabara, take this… boil the leaves of this plant… it will help them recover…"

Kuwabara took the plant from Youko and smiled. " Glad you're on our side…"

At that moment Keiko came in with Genkai's body. " Hello you guys… would you mind helping me bring everyone else in Kuwabara?"

" Sure…" Kuwabara placed the plant down and rushed out to get the rest of the injured inside to rest. The big lug looked around and noticed his sister wasn't inside. He rushed back outside. " Shizuru!" He shouted. Soon her heard someone coming closer along with some heavy breathing. He turned around and he saw his older sister coming toward him, looking rather rugged. Kuwabara saw that his sister was about to fall and he rushed over to catch her in the nick of time. " I got you, don't worry…"

" Kazuma.. you finally made it…"

" I rushed here as fast as I could… but lets not worry about that now.. you have to rest…." He brought her inside to relax along with the others. Youko had already made a good amount of plants for Kuwabara too boil up.

The spirit fox looked at Kuwabara as he walked in. " I'll leave everything in your hands…" He then walked out to rejoin the others.

Yusuke and Hiei were very tense as they looked around for Kururi. Time seemed to stand still as they waited for even a trace of him but the clever demon had hid himself well. The tense atmosphere only got stronger as a powerful miasma came upon them. Youko followed his instinct and covered his mouth. An infamous laugh could be heard coming somewhere in the soup of poisonous vapors. " Welcome Gentlemen to your final hour!"

The group of men looked deep into the vapors and they could see their enemy coming closer. The three of them glared at it Yusuke spoke up for everyone, " No, it is you who has meet his final hour, for no one hurts our loved ones…"

Youko narrowed his eyes and in his usual cold down, " Escapes with their lives."

" We will teach you the true meaning of pain."

Kururi laughed as his eyes flashed with excitement. " Lets not put it off any longer… Let the battle that will decide the fate of all commence!"

To be continued…

Woah, that was another pretty long chapter. I hope you all enjoyed reading it. Please review, till next time.
