'Ello. I'm back. Does it seem like forever since I last updated to you guys as well as me?

"Will you just get going?" Draco asked impatiently.

Tut, Tut. Impatience will get you nowhere. I will get there when I get there. Reviews are first, as always.

Dra Gan the Dragoniodian King: you'll just have to wait and see Smiles evilly

Now, I got, um, Draco, who did I get to do the disclaimer?

"You got InuYasha. Though why, I don't know. He has nothing to do with the story." Draco rolled his eyes.

Well, the, InuYasha, do the disclaimer.

"Cuthien doesn't own YYH, though why she would want to own something as idiotic as that is beyond me." InuYasha said.

HEY! It's a good show! Now you have to go POOF! InuYasha goes poof Alright, here's the story.

Last time on CS: Kurama jumped out his window with Crystal in tow. Then Crystal is attacked by the vision of her rapist, and gets Hiei to help train her in the use of a sword.

"Where is everyone?" Crystal asked when she saw the living room was empty of everyone except Shiara.

"Kurama's in the library. Yusuke and Kuwabara are sleeping. Hiei's outside somewhere. Koenma and Botan are working. And you and I are in here." Shiara said, counting on her fingers as she listed everyone.

"OK. Thanks." Crystal went to her room to change. She changed into a yellow t-shirt and jeans then went to the library. "Hey, Kurama." She said as she passed by him.

"You're feeling better." Kurama stated.

"Yep. I've gotten help with that problem." Crystal looked over Kurama's shoulder at the book he was holding. "Whatcha reading?"

Kurama closed the book and hid it. "Nothing." He said.

Crystal shrugged. "Whatever." She started to walk out of the library.

"Hey, Crys?" Kurama called softly. "Could I see the mark on your real furniture?"

"You want me to draw it for you?" Crystal asked.

"No. I… want to see the furniture." Kurama said. "Maybe I could figure out which demon owns you."

"Maybe. I may show you sometime." Crystal said softly, gazing off into the distance.

"Kurama! The portal is being tampered with!" Yusuke yelled from the doorway.

"Which portal?" Kurama asked. He stood up.

"The one I fought Sensui at!" Yusuke yelled.

"Quit yelling. Go get everyone else. We'll meet in the living room with Botan." Kurama said. Yusuke left. "Crystal…"

"I'm staying here. I can't fight. I'd just get in the way." Crystal said quickly.

"OK. We'll come back soon." Kurama said. "Stay safe." He turned and added under his breath "for me."

He left and Crystal sat down. "Someone will get hurt. Someone I know always gets hurt. I have to stop that." She got up and ran to the living room. "Shiara! In the YYH series, who could heal?"

"Yukina, remember?" Shiara answered.

"Where is she? Where's Botan?" Crystal asked.

"In the kitchen." Shiara replied.

Crystal went in the kitchen. "Yukina! Can you heal?" Yukina nodded. "Botan, can you take us to the boys?" she asked.

"Why do you seem so upset?" Yukina asked.

"Someone's going to get hurt. I can tell. Please, Botan, take us to the boys." Crystal begged. Tears started to roll down her cheeks.

"Botan, I would do this. She seems determined to go." Botan said from the doorway. "But I'm coming, too."

"Please make the portal, Botan." Yukina said. Botan made the portal and Yukina led Crystal through it, with Shiara following behind.

"Crys, the boys are down there, fighting." Shiara said.

"Let's stay up here. I'd prefer not to distract them." Crystal said.

Kurama was fighting a cat demon. Hiei was fighting what looked like a snake demon. Yusuke was up against a water apparition. Kuwabara was fighting an earth demon.

Yusuke killed his opponent, then went to help Kuwabara, who was having trouble. No one saw what Crystal saw. Hiei was bit by the snake demon. Hiei detached the demon's head, then went to help Kurama.

"Shiara, Hiei was bitten by that snake demon." Crystal said.

Shiara turned away from watching Yusuke and Kuwabara. "He doesn't look hurt."

"It was his left shoulder. We have to go help him." Crystal said. She started climbing down the side of the cliff.

"Crys, wait. Let them finish fighting first." Shiara said.

"No! That snake looked poisonous! It might be too late by then!" Crystal yelled. Kurama heard her and looked up. He saw the girls. His eyes widened, but he went back to fighting the cat demon. "I'm going down, Shi. If you want to stay up here, then stay. I'm going to go help Hiei." Crystal said. She started to climb down. A rock she had placed her foot on came out of the wall and she slipped. Luckily she twisted around in mid-air and landed on her feet.

The earth demon looked around at the racket and saw Crystal breathing heavily by the wall. He started toward her.

Kuwabara shoved his Spirit Sword into the back of the demon and jumped aside. "Spirit Gun!" Yusuke yelled. The demon was killed.

The cat demon, however, wouldn't die. Yusuke and Kuwabara came over to help, but she threw them against the wall. They both collapsed, unconscious.

The cat demon clawed Kurama on the chest. He threw a death seed at her and grew it. Then he came over to Crystal.

"You're bleeding. Yukina can fix it." Crystal said.

"I'm fine. I thought you said you weren't coming?" Kurama said, his eyes twinkling slightly.

"I had to bring a healer. I knew you would forget one." Crystal said. "Yukina! You and Shiara can come down now!" Yukina climbed down, then Shiara slid, creating a minor avalanche. "Show off." Crystal muttered. "Yukina, Hiei was bit by the snake demon and Kurama was clawed by the cat demon."

"This one will be faster." Yukina came up and touched Kurama's chest. The she healed him. Once she was done, she walked over to Hiei and started healing him.

Crystal saw a demon come out of the portal and head for Yukina, who was still healing Hiei. "No!" She cried, throwing an arm out. A blast of energy came from her hand and the demon was incinerated.

"Yusuke, how'd you make Spirit Gun without saying anything?" Kuwabara asked. He had woken up in time to see the blast.

"That wasn't me." Yusuke said.

"Then who was it?" Kuwabara asked.

Kurama just stared at Crystal. Crystal stared at her hand like it was cursed. Hiei and Yukina weren't paying attention, and Shiara was grinning at Crystal.

Well, there's the next chapter. I hope you liked it. Please review. Walks out with Draco flying overhead.
