Chapter 6: dark whips of fury
Kurama wasted no time in summoning his rose whip. He now knew that this girl was dangerous, and shouldn't be taken lightly, as his comrades do ever so often.
"Rose Whip!" Yelled Kurama.
Karuka was mad that the boy hadn't given her more time to recover. She didn't want to admit it, but Hiei would have killed her if he didn't underestimate her, and lose focus right near the end when she stole his katana.
"Isn't that a little girly? A rose whip?" She said trying to irritate him and give her more time to recover.
"Not once you see what he can do with it." Came a voice from behind Yusuke and Kuwabara. It was Hiei.
"So you're awake so soon? I expected that." Said Karuka.
"Hurry Kurama, before she gets to much energy back."
Kurama nodded to his fallen friend and lashed out with the whip in his hand.
"Rose Whip Strike!" Kurama yelled thrusting his whip at Karuka. (I don't know Kurama's attacks, sorry)
The whip flew at Karuka with incredible speed, but Kurama went wide eyed at what happened next.
Karuka extended what looked to be some sort of claw out of her right index finger, raised it high in the air and brought it down repeating this motion several more times, each time the claw like thing grew longer. And as she did this, she said "whip extend block!".
The once one foot long claw type thing was now a full length whip coming out of her finger.
"What?!" Kurama spoke as his whip was blocked by hers.
"Yes I have a whip. Why are you surprised? Shouldn't you have seen it coming?"
Kurama was still stunned at the fact her dull gray whip had blocked his when his had deadly rose thorns on it that could cut through practically anything.
"Time to get real, if you're no match for my whip you're no match for me." Was what Karuka said as she raised her whip, that was now off her finger and in her hand, into the air.
"Whip splitter attack!"
Karuka's whip traveled through the air with nearly twice as much speed as Kurama's. She bent at the knees for more force and put her left hand on the museum floor. The whip traveled straight in front of Kurama's face down his middle and right before it hit the ground, Karuka pulled it back into her hand. The whip had just nearly missed Kurama's body.
"Ha!" Said Yusuke. "You completely missed him!"
"Yeah! I mean, you totally freaked us out when you stopped Kurama's whip dead in its tracks, but you couldn't even hit him square on!" Said Kuwabara.
Yusuke waited for Hiei to slip in a remark but found him silent.
"Come on Hiei, aren't you gonna make fun of that attack?" He asked, but Hiei lay waiting to see what would happen next knowing there was no way that she could have missed him.
Yusuke and Kuwabara looked back just in time to watch Kurama fall to his knees, then his hands and chest.
"What? But how? You didn't even hit him."
"Do you think I was trying to? You should get your eyes checked out and maybe your ears also." Karuka said while the smirk on her face was growing even bigger, watching Kurama struggle on the floor.
"My attack 'whip splitter' is not meant to hit the opponent, but to split the air right in front of him."
The three boys' eyes widened along with Kurama's, even though they could not even come close to feeling his pain and suffrage.
"But how is that possible?" Said Kuwabara as he was running to aid Kurama.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you, for if you go into the area with no air, then you would be stuck and there would be no way for you to get back out until the air forms again."
"Forms again?" Asked Hiei, taking his gaze away from Kurama for a moment.
"Yes, the attack is only temporary. The air will form again allowing him to breath once more, but every time I use my whip, which is rarely, I just have to use that attack and watch my opponent squirm in agony and helplessness from others." She said with a giggle at the end showing the first sign of innocence since they entered the dark museum.
"YOU BASTARD! How can you just watch someone dying in front of you and not do anything to help them!?" Screamed Yusuke.
"Don't even ask me that! You don't know what I've seen in my life and I sure as hell know you haven't gone through such things in yours!" She yelled taking all the boys back with her sudden outburst of rage like emotion.
Suddenly Kurama's body that was once spazing out of control lay limp and motionless, except for the light rising of his back as he took in the newly formed air.
"Looks like the air has formed once again. Do you still wish to fight me?"
Kurama stood up with an angry tone plastered on his face.
'Dammit, with the few minutes that I couldn't breathe Karuka probably got back all the power she needed to defeat me. She is intelligent beyond my wildest imagination, covering her energy restore attack with watching my squirm for entertainment, quite clever of her. Oh well, there's nothing I can do now.'
"Are you going to do something or should I kill you now?" That popped Kurama out of his thoughts and into defense, for what ever was coming next, was going to be big.
Karuka chuckled an evil laugh as a smile crept its way onto her small, innocent looking face.
'What is she planning?' Kurama thought before Yusuke too, interrupted his thoughts.
"Why aren't you attacking her Kurama? Hurry, before it's too late."
Suddenly something did come to him. Using one of his deadly seeds, he would have to use a fast working one though. He finally decided on one.
Kurama quickly pulled a seed out of his hair hoping that Karuka hadn't seen. As the smirk on her face turned to a nauseating smile that split his soul in half. Quickly, before she had time to react, Kurama flicked the seed straight at Karuka. It hadn't missed.
Karuka felt the seed hit her straight in the neck, she fell to the ground landing on her knees and her hand went straight to her neck to help the pain.
"Yeah!" Said Yusuke who had the biggest smile on his face next to Hiei and Kuwabara.
For the first time, Kurama smiled at a girls' pain. But suddenly that smile disappeared. Karuka stood up, not taking her eyes from the floor, it seemed that she was not hurt at all, they could tell from her light, yet sadistic laughter.
"WHAT! BUT THAT'S IMPPOSSIBLE!" Said Yusuke with large eyes just as the three other boys'.
'How could you have survived that?! That was my fastest working seed, you should be dead!"
"Silly little boy aren't you?" Was what Karuka said as she stuck her hand straight into her neck and retrieved the seed that hadn't grown, opened or anything, it was just covered in blood.
"You should know Kurama, being a plant expert as you are, a plant can't grow when there is no light to grow it!" She threw the seed to hit a pillar and it split the support beam and grew beautiful, deadly flowers.
"I am a shadow demon, your plants will have no effect on me. And obviously, you are nothing with out them so this fight is over Kurama!"
Kurama hated the way that she said his name, as if she owned every inch of his body, as if he were her slave.
Karuka summoned her claws on her right hand.
'I thought she was a shadow demon, how could she have claws?' Thought Kuwabara who was watching the strange fight from a new distance, because he was afraid of what was to happen next..
Karuka began to make the same motion with her hand as before where she brought it up and down continuously to make five new whips coming out of her nails. Kurama only stared, wondering what would happen next, and he would have to since for some odd reason he couldn't move, he was focused on Karuka's eyes, as they had changed from her green to a yellow color in the middle of their fight.
When Karuka finished, her five whips were on the ground since her small hand couldn't hold all five. Her energy began to glow again, but this time it was orange instead of black, like it was before she fought Hiei.
Karuka jumped into the air nearly hitting the ceiling and her whips were trailing behind her.
"DARK WHIPS OF FURY!" Was all that came out of her mouth before she swung her right hand around her front so the whips were hurtling down towards Kurama with orange energy surrounding them.
Kurama fell back after the whips hit his helpless body and hit a near by wall. His clothes were torn and he was covered with blood, and motionless. He still couldn't have moved because he was still entranced in Karuka's yellow eyes. But even if he wasn't focused on her eyes, he still would have had a slim chance of missing all of her five whips.
"NO!" Left the lips of all three boys not hit by the attack.
Karuka landed as swift as a feather with a gleam in her now pale green eyes. And a smirk crossed her face.
"Two down." Was all that needed to be said to set of Yusuke. He ran towards her but she disappeared and reappeared on the high chandelier.
"I told you I would fight you last. Don't let wounded people get to you, or you'll be too sloppy a fighter, plus it's a weakness. The only way to survive in this heartless world is to care about yourself and only yourself."
"YOU HAVE TO FIGHT ME NOW BECAUSE HE WON'T!!!!" Yusuke was furious as he pointed a finger at an equally angry Kuwa..
"Oh? Why won't he fight me? Is he afraid?"
"NO! I have a code that won't let me fight you! No matter how much I want to!"
"If you're that weak against your own code then you shouldn't have one."
Karuka jumped from her recent standing place right in front of Kuwabara and grabbed him by the collar and disappeared.
Karuka began to beat Kuwabara a new code. She gave no mercy to him. She knew that this would waste her energy but she felt like scaring Yusuke, and make him thing twice about what he would decide to do to her.
She threw him in the air and kicked him in the gut. She disappeared with him each time Yusuke tried to run and stop her. She was killing him for apparent reason. That made Yusuke and Hiei angry to see that she couldn't even keep from fighting a guy who she knew wouldn't fight back. She disgusted them.
Then Karuka landed 20 feet in front of Yusuke with Kuwabara under her arm, she dropped him.
"This weakling gives me no pleasure in hurting him. The fact that he won't fight back makes me feel like a traitor, but I do admire him for his strong will in not trying to hurt me. He does not deserve to die, so I will leave him be." Those words set back all who watched her brutally hurt him and cause him pain.
"Now, it is time for the final fight." Karuka stood in front of Yusuke in her attack stance ready for the kill.
"Finally." Was all Yusuke said as he stood in his attack stance too, ready to hurt her as much as she hurt his friends.
