Chapter 19: Goodbyes and Hellos part 1

"Botan, where are you going?" Emiko called after the ferry girl as she ran outside. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"Yes…something did happen, and I am needed." Botan summoned her oar and turned to the woman. "I'm sorry for this."

"Wait! Botan come back!" Botan flew into the sky and left Emiko there to wonder what had happened. When she was out of sight, Emiko fell to her knees and cried. "Why…why can't you tell me? What are you sorry for…?"

"Honey, maybe we should go inside? C'mon, I'm sure that Daisuke and the others are fine. We just have to trust them, right?" Kosuke placed his hand on her shoulder and smiled.

"K-Kosuke…" he led her back inside and made her sit down. Towa brought her some tea and Daiki tried to cheer her up with any good news. 'Please be alright...'

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Krad, wait!"

The angel stopped and flew upwards from Kuraku's charge after he heard his name. Kuraku used his wings to slow himself to a stop before looking at his opponent. "What's wrong, Krad? Finally realizing that you are no match for me?"

"Master Kuraku!" The redhead turned just as Yusuke's spirit gun hit him in the back. Kuraku doubled-over in pain but got right up with a mad look in his eyes. Renoki stayed at the same spot he was dropped.

"I assure you that you will regret what you have just done." The demon stood and cracked his wrist. "I will make you suffer."

"Really, now? I've heard that a lot in my life and I'm still here an going strong. I wonder if you can keep up to that threat." Yusuke smirked as the demon growled. He flicked the artifact that was on his head. "I have the upper-hand with this."

Kuraku twitched and raised his sword. "I will kill you, detective!" Yusuke smirked as the demon got closer. Kurama got Kuwabara and jumped out of the way as Yusuke fired his spirit gun.

"What the hell?" Kuraku was hit square in the chest but still came at him. 'Oh, shit...' The sword was barely blocked as the detective was sent flying backwards into the ashy remains of the forest. "Nice…hit…"

"Yusuke!" Kuraku turned to face his first opponent. 'You're next...' He flew at a fast pace before he heard a soft click behind him.

"W-What…" Kuraku's eyes widened as the artifact latched itself onto his wrist. Krad smirked as he closed his eyes and began to chant. "No…"

"What's happening, Yusuke?" Kurama asked as the demon was frozen in place. Red whip-like ropes tied his hands and legs. Yusuke shook his head before a voice caught his attention. He looked at Kuwabara.

"Ahhhh!" Kuraku's voice made them all look as his wings burst into flames. Krad continued to chant and more restraints bound the demon. "Cursed artifact, ah!"

Renoki watched as his master was slowly being destroyed. He summoned all his energy and focused on an attack. "I will not fail you, Master Kuraku."

"Yea-h! One down, one to go!" Yusuke cheered as Kuraku's energy went weaker and weaker.

"Hani!" Krad opened his eyes and finished the spell. A hoarse cry escaped the demon's mouth before he was engulfed in flames and fell lifeless to the ground. Renoki gasped as he saw this and he bit his bottom lip. Krad flapped his wings and landed a few feet away.

"I may have been too late, but at least I know that you are destroyed."

"Ah! Krad!" Yusuke caught the angel as he fell. "Oi, you alright?"

"Yeah…just tired, using a spell like that takes a lot of magic." Yusuke helped him stand. "I have to do something, finish Renoki. He shouldn't be a problem." Krad began running off to where Satoshi and Daisuke had stayed.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about him." Kurama and Kuwabara sweat dropped. "Hey, umm…where is he?"

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"I-I don't b-believe it…y-you're alive!" Daisuke wiped his tears on his sleeve as he saw Dark before him.

"No, but you can say that if it makes you feel better." Dark laughed as the boy stared wide-eyed at him. "I'm only here for a limited time, see? I'm not living…I'm more of a ghost."

"Yeah so don't get too attached to him." Hiei's voice startled the two and Satoshi even jumped a bit. "Damn ritual…"

"Daisuke, Master Satoshi…" Krad stopped dead in his tracks as he saw the four of them. "D-Dark…"

"Krad…" The thief gave a sad smile as he looked at his hunter. He turned to the ground. "I-I'm sorry…for not being st—"

Krad wrapped his arms around him and cut him off. Because he and Dark are the same, they can feel each other. "No, I should have been faster…I will never blame you, for anything."

"Shows you how much my friends care." Hiei rolled his eyes as he watched the scene before him. He sat on a rock and looked up until a very familiar grim reaper floated down. "Botan…great, more good news."

Dark and Krad pulled apart but the angel's hand never left the thief's. He looked at the new visitor and knew what was going to happen now. "Botan, why are you here?" Daisuke had asked the question he had already answered.

"I-I'm s-sorry…but I have t-to take them…" Daisuke's eyes widened and a lump formed in Krad's throat. Hiei said nothing and Satoshi narrowed his eyes at her. "D-Dark and H-Hiei are to come to S-Spirit World."

"I won't let you." Krad stepped in front of the girl and she backed up. "I will not let you take him from me again."

"I don't have a choice! They're dead and I have to give them to Koenma!" Botan took a step forward and stood her ground. "I'm really sorry about this, Krad…I-I don't want to…I just have to."

"Krad…it's alright. I'll go."

"No!" Krad grabbed the thief and held him close. He had tears coming down and Dark felt guilty. "I've been unable to do anything but watch as you were taken away from me twice before and now…and now you will be taken away and I'll have no chance of getting you back…"

"Krad…even if I'm gone, I'll still be with you." Dark pulled away and gave him a chaste peck on the cheek before going beside Botan. Hiei was already there. Botan mounted her oar and allowed the other two on.

"Goodbye, angel."

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Damn, where the hell is he!" Yusuke and the other three had been looking everywhere and found no trace of Renoki. The artifact was once again on the detective's head and Kurama held Hiei's body as they walked.

"Taki-bi!" Renoki's voice rang out and hit all three with a deadly fire attack. "I will not let you get away with killing Master Kuraku!"

"Ah!" Kurama hit the ground the hardest and struggled to stand. Renoki fired another large amount of energy and ran before they could react. "H-He's using guerrilla tactics, Yusuke."

"Yeah, I figured that…hey, where's Kuwabara?"

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

'I'm gunna get that guy if it's the last thing I do!' Kuwabara was chasing after Renoki and was very careful when the demon stopped to turn around. Renoki fell to the ground panting as he entered the clearing where Kuraku had brought him before.

"I-I'm sorry, Master Kuraku…"

"There is no need for you to be sorry, Renoki." The silver haired demon turned and his green eyes widened at…Kuwabara? NO! Krad! NO! His eyes widened at a certain redheaded demon that was a few feet behind him. (I bet no one saw this one coming?...okay, maybe you did!)

"M-Master K-Kuraku!" Renoki forgot everything as he looked into the calm eyes of his master. "Are, are you—"

"Yes, Krad's mind wasn't fully focused on the task at hand." Kuraku looked at his charred clothing and held a little ball of white. "I still have you now, don't I?"

"Kyuu!" Dark's rabbit struggled in the demon's grasp and Kuwabara almost fainted at the living demon before him. 'Why is it that the bed dudes never stay dead?'

"With? What is he for?"

"Nothing really, I just don't know what to do with With yet…" Kuraku took a step forward and steadied himself before he began again. Kuwabara noted his energy. 'It's really weak now. I bet that I could take them both with one big attack...'

"R-Renoki…"

"Master Kuraku!" Renoki ran to his side and brought him to the ground. He ignored the little rabbit that had hopped off. "Master Kuraku?"

"Don't worry…it took a lot of energy to regenerate everything…I just need rest…" Kuraku closed his eyes and fell asleep. Renoki brought him close to his chest and let a small blush come across his face as the demon leaned into him. 'Anything, Master Kuraku, for I am your eternal servant.'

'Now's my chance!' "Spirit sword!" Renoki looked up just in time to block the incoming attack from casting its fatal hit. "This time you both are going ta pay for what you put us through!"

Renoki threw him back and grabbed his master's lithe form before jumping back. He leaned him against a rock and turned to face his opponent. "You will not defeat me."

"Tough talk for a little demon with weak energy." The human smirked as he brought out another sword.

"Mizu!" (Water) Renoki shot a large blast of water at him and Kuwabara flew backwards. Renoki fell to one knee as he caught his breath. He old wounds were still open and they hurt when he moved.

"Ow…ya know that hurt!"

"Am I still weak now, human?" Renoki's tone was icy as he spoke. His green eyes flickered with challenge and concern and he watched the human's every move. 'I can feel his energy rising...I must finish this fight soon.' "Mizu!"

"Uh-oh!" the carrot-top was pushed back as the water streamed from his hand. Kuwabara was stopped when he hit into Yusuke and Kurama. "Man am I glad ta finally see you guys!"

"Yeah well, we wanted to see if you could actually handle yourself. You ran off and when we heard running water," Yusuke paused to see the silver haired demon take a step back. "Hey there, Renoki. Thought that you could escape now did ya?"

"Yusuke!" the fox pointed to the demon behind him. Yusuke went wide eyed as he saw who it was.

"No way! Why is he still living!" Renoki's eyes watched them like a caged animal. Yusuke smirked. "Oh well, guess we just have to kill'em again until he stays dead."

"I will not allow that." The demon said. He extended his hand towards them. "Aisu!" As soon as he spoke, dozens of piecing icy crystals flew towards them.

"Damn it! Why'd it hafta be ice?" The three barely dodged in time as another wave went at them.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Kyu! Kyu! Kyu kyu kyu kyu kyu!" With ran to where Daisuke and the others were. "Kyuuu…"

"Huh? With!" The redhead ran and hugged the critter as he sniffed his cries away. "I'm so glad that you're safe…" "Kyuu…"

"Daisuke, will you be alright if I leave you here?" the redhead turned to Satoshi. "Will you?"

"But, where are you going, Satoshi?" Krad watched as the three vanished and sat on the ground. Satoshi glanced at him then at the boy. "Satoshi?"

"To stop a demon with a demon."
