That battle had began between the new form Kurama and Karasu. Karasu shows fear but quickly hids it behind fight. Yoko figures what to do with the crow when Kurama doesn't want to kill him or let him live. What shall they do? Will Hiei die or is he still alive. What is this, Yoko has someone that he loved that Karasu has sealed away? Why would Karasu seal away someone he loves, was he frightened or did he just have feelings for someone else. Read on to see what happens next.

The wind blew madly around Yoko Kurama as he stood there in his new form. He glared at the crow before him. Karasu seemed to shudder at the new site of the kitsune. His green eyes with yellow pupils scared him the most. They showed no fear…no emotion at all. The wind seemed to help Kurama more than it helped the crow that continued to shudder.
"You will pay Karasu, for hurting Hiei so badly. If he dies I will never let your soul live. I will find it in the spirit world and kill it as well…no seal it so that it will never harm anyone again." At this Kurama smiled at the crow which sent chills down his spine.
The trees danced around the kitsune as he stood there gaining more and more power from the heavens and the hells. He seemed to be waiting for Karasu to attack first for it wasn't his nature to attack first. It wasn't his nature to attack his enemy first for he wanted to watch how they would fight at the beginning before he attacked them to take them down. Yes, he already knew the way Karasu fought but he wanted to play a little game before he took the crow down.
Kurama took out his rose and swung it at the crow how tried to dodge it but the rose wrapped around him tightly as he fought against it. Kurama pulled Karasu close to him with a great smile. Karasu pulled away rather frightened to see the kitsune smile so evilly for the first time that he had been captured. Finally the crow was face to face with Kurama who just smiled evilly.
"Why don't you fight back, Karasu, what has got you so afraid?" the kitsune asked looking into the crows eyes. "Usually you wouldn't show fear yet here you are cowering before me. Your nothing more than a joke, Karasu and you knew that but decide to pick on weaker people than yourself but now that Yoko and I are working together you cower…before me like the weakling you are."
"You wish, Kitsune. I would never cower before a human any day." Karasu growled finally freeing himself and backing away putting an invisible barrier of bombs around Kurama. Kurama looked around him knowing that Karasu had done so and lifted his whip. The bombs all exploded causing dust and dirt to fly up in the air. Karasu smiled knowing that Kurama couldn't handle an attack like that, but he was wrong. Kurama appeared behind Karasu with no emotion on his face as he wrapped one of his hands around the crow's neck. Karasu didn't move or speak; he didn't know what to do.
"You can't kill me that easily Karasu, not when I am no longer a human. Yoko and I are one now and stronger than he was when he first started his attacks on people and stealing things." Kurama tightened his grip around Karasu's neck drawing blood. Karasu smiled a bit and took out a dagger from his boot, attacking Kurama. Kurama jumped back dodging the attack barely. Kurama looked down where some blood trickled down but it was nothing but cut really. Kurama then took out another rose and changed it into a sword. Karasu lifted his dagger. It was a challenge that neither of them was going to give into.
Karasu attacked first with a great amount of speed and attacked Kurama with all his might but Kurama dodged it easily and came back with a counter attack but a bomb blew him back into a tree stopping the attack. Karasu growled as Kurama stood up not injured at all, only a few bruises and bumps. Then Kurama jumped up into the trees for some cover as he looked for an opening in Karasu guard and finally he found it and attacked Karasu from behind. The crow took the blow and whimpered in pain. Black blood fell to the ground as he dropped to his knees. He looked at Kurama who towered over him and threw a bomb at the kitsune and blew him back.
Karasu took this chance to hide in the woods as well as watch over his pray. He watched with his eyes as the kitsune stood and looked around for him. Karasu took this chance to move in behind the kitsune. Kurama felt Karasu's breath and heart beat in the woods somewhere and used it against him as Karasu came out for an attack Kurama turned around and used his rose whip to tie the crow to a tree. He smiled as Karasu tried to use his dagger to cut the whip but just kept cutting himself. When he gave up he looked up and Kurama's gaze looked onto his.
"What do you plan on doing to me, Kurama?" Karasu asked staring at him with no more fear in his eyes. Kurama seemed to be in deep thought about what he should do to the crow. The crow did put him through misery and raped him many times but does that mean that killing him was the right thing to do. Yoko thought it was but Kurama just didn't know. He had the feeling that he should kill the crow for beating him, raping him and backing him a slave to his own beliefs that was necessary and he hated him for letting his daughter do the same to Hiei. Kurama remembered seeing Hiei's eyes in pain for once and now he was lying on the ground, dieing. Kurama looked at the crow and growled, taking out his sword once again.
"Karasu, you have done to much wrong in this world that you don't deserve to live or die." Kurama said looking a little confused at how he worded it, no it wasn't Kurama who spoke it was Yoko.
Yoko, what are you doing? I will do it myself just back off. Kurama said looking at Yoko who had taken over the mind of there combined form.
+Kurama, he doesn't deserve to be judged by the gods. If they judge him wrong then he might just end up taking over the spirit world or the netherworld. I won't have him do that. I decided that I am going to seal him away. I am going to seal him away forever that no one can ever release him and we could live in what the humans call peace. We will take Hiei to Yukina and she can heal him and all will be good. Believe me, Karasu will never come back to this world as long as we or anyone else lives. Or do you still wish to kill him+ Yoko asked looking back at the human spirit who seemed rather happy that Yoko came up with this idea. Kurama nodded and let Yoko do the talking.
Karasu didn't know what the kitsune was saying and growled. "What do you mean kitsune?" He asked rather irritated now that the one he had raped and beaten was now going to decide his fate. He didn't know what to do except to except it all.
"I will not kill you and I will not let you live at the same time. I am going to seal you away Karasu, to where you belong." Yoko smiled and took out a green crystal. "The Green crystal of the Earth god, it has both a brother and sister that would unseal its seal that will be upon you but as you know…you sealed them away with Etelka and Shista. The one you truly loved you sealed away and the one I loved deeply you sealed away. Now that those jewels are sealed away and tight then this one will make the third and you will not be freed, never." Yoko put the green crystal on Karasu's mask and said a few words that caused a green seal to go around Karasu and seal him off forever.
I am very sorry, Yoko that Etelka will be sealed for good. Kurama said looking at his saddened friend.
+Don't worry about it. The good thing is that you and Hiei are okay and that Karasu has been defeated. Even if that means that Etelka will be sealed away from me, I am okay with that, for her being sealed will mean that Karasu will never be unsealed again.+ Yoko smiled at Kurama who looked rather sad but hid it under his mask of no emotion. +Now to make sure that Hiei is okay and take him home, to Yukina.+ Yoko smiled and Kurama nodded in agreement.
The new being of Kurama and Yoko walked over to Hiei and treated his wounds. They then checked for a plus and found that it was there, but it was very weak. They picked up Hiei and put him on their back with a frown upon their face and headed home.
Tha is that end of this chapter. I don't know if I am going to end it there or makea next chapter to see what happened to Hiei. I think I will make another chapter...I am unsure. That is all for now that. R&Rs please and thank you.
