I watched as Cruentus looked me in the eyes, a grin was on his face. He hadn't even taken a step! "Ugh," Kuwabara moaned as he got up. When he did, he shook the rumble off of himself, like a dog would shake of water…the baka. I heard a shifting to my left; I looked over and saw Kurama regain consciousness. Kurama's eyes opened, revealing those emerald eyes that glinted with gold…a bad sign. I began to get up, and was met with laughter. That damn asshole was laughing at US!

"That does it!" I growled as I slowly got up. There was no way in Reikai that I was going ta be laughed at by that BASTARD! I could feel the demon heart beating quickly in my chest as my hair grew long and my markings reappeared. Momentarily forgetting about Hiei, I lunged at Cruentus. I really wanted to rip out his throat, tear apart his body, and throw his corpse to the ravenous demonic fish. Evil huh? Welcome to my mind. Upon seeing the shock in his eyes as I quickly neared him, I swung my demonically sharpened nails at his throat. Unfortunately, he ducked and I only tore up the flesh near his right eye. Luckily, I got his right eye.

I jumped back, as did the more intensive, yet less explosive version of Karasu…I'm just sayin'. He glared at me with one clear eye and his right eye was leaking a gelatin-like substance down his face, it mixed with his cuts, his blood, and most importantly, his eye was beyond repair. "You will pay for that!" he hissed at me. Oh yeah, I'm so scared!

"Heh, heh," Kuwabara laughed, sort of. "You'd think that the demons 'round here aren't that dumb. Guess they're all the same." I heard a familiar growl behind me. I looked and saw a bloody Hiei leaning heavily on a banged up Kurama.

"You might want to take that back Kuwabara, or Hiei will make you wish you did," I heard Kurama say with a smile.

"You couldn't just stay down could you?" Cruentus said with a malicious voice. Odd thing was, he was smiling, and not like a girl when you give them chocolate. "Oh well, I will get what I want, and you will all die."

"Yeah, from listening to ya talk!" I yelled back. It's like he's going through PMS. He was horny, because of Hiei, pissed, because of Kurama, angry, 'cause we lived, and now ready to kill…like Keiko when I forget of a date with her. Hey, if he tries to pull the ol', "fine! I won't have sex with you!" he's SO outta luck.

"Bad move Yusuke," Kurama whispered to me. Before I could wonder why, I saw Cruentus' nails grow longer, like they weren't long enough; his eyes began to fade out, replaced by a bright, glowing white-ish, red-ish light. His hair became streaked with crimson, and his fangs grew…longer. I have a few words for a situation like this:

"Shit! Well, I had a good life…kinda," I said. Kuwabara looked at me with wide eyes while Hiei rolled his eyes and Kurama looked at me with a shine in his eyes. I've seen that look before. It meant that Kurama knew something that we don't, and it's always helpful. "Kurama, spill it!" Kuwabara looked lost for a while.

"Whatta ya mean, Urameshi?" Kuwabaka asked. Hm, I wonder how many brain cells he has, one? Maybe a half?

"You know me too well, Yusuke," Kurama said with a smile.

"Damn straight, now talk," I said with a grin. Kurama's smile grew, along with Kuwabara's imputance. Before Kurama could answer me though, a chill shot through my spine, telling me to turn around or else. I spun around and saw that Cruentus was looking meaner than ever. Including the new looks that he gained earlier, an odd weapon was in his hand. It looked dangerous; it was a sword with some type of light smoke coming from the blade. Something told me not to let anyone of us touch it. "Careful guys."

Cruentus' grin grew even larger as he changed his grip on the sword by throwing it in the air with a spin. He caught the hilt and looked me in the eyes, never a good sign. "Ready to die?" he asked in a deeper voice.

"No! Are you?" Kuwabara replied. I bit my lip to stop the laughter that wanted release. Kurama snickered and Hiei shook his head. "What?"

"Kurama, quickly, what do you know?" I asked; fear of being chopped into a salad before finding out what the vital information is. Kurama nodded.

"Hiei pointed out to my the when we attacked him, he always seemed to block his left side. That is when I remembered that for vampires, that on their left side, their rib cage is open. Human's openings are in the front of the body, so we need to attack his left si-" before Kurama could finish, Cruentus lunged at us and swung his sword at Kurama.

Kurama saw this coming and shoved Hiei to the ground while leaping in the air. Cruentus went after him while Kuwabara and I helped Hiei to his feet. "Ya alright?" I asked as soon as Hiei was on his feet again, somewhat. Hiei nodded and we looked to find Kurama. Hiei and I found him quickly. Kurama kept dodging the blade; something told me that he's had practice. Cruentus looked angry.

I pointed my right index finger at Cruentus. He swung and Kurama, seeing my plan moved out of the way of my shot and the blade. "SPIRIT GUN!" I shot the blue orb at his chest. Luckily, he did as I thought he would, he turned to face me, then turned to run. As he turned right, the blast hit him right on the ribs. I grinned as he fell to the floor. "Fuck yeah!" Before I could fully celebrate, I felt Hiei go limp in my arms. I looked over to him and saw Kuwabara. "Hiei?"

"Shorty, c'mon now…wake up." Kuwabara said as he began to shake Hiei. Kurama came over to us quickly.

"It is alright, Kuwabara," Kurama reassured us. "I believe that you have forgotten that Hiei used the dragon earlier, ne?" I grinned and scratched the back of my neck.

"Ya, kinda did for a second there," I said. Kurama picked up Hiei and we began to walk near the exit. Half way to the door, I heard chuckling behind me. We all turned around and saw Cruentus beginning to stand up. "What the fuck! Can't ya just die already?"

"You actually thought that I would go down with one hit? Baka ningen," he said as he spat out blood.

"Only half!" I yelled back. In the corner of my eye, I saw Kurama place Hiei on the ground safely.

"Half of nothing is still nothing." I felt myself growl at these words.

"I'll be sure to write that on you grave."

"...Don't you mean tombstone?" Kuwabara asked.

"No, 'cause when he dies, I'll piss those letters on top of his corpse," I said, and Kami as my witness, I sure as Hell meant it.

"Calm down Yusuke," Kurama said after my plan was fully developed. "First we have to kill the kisama, and luckily, there are many ways to kill a vampire." Lucky us. Maybe we can use them all…hey, he called me nothing!

"If you live long enough that is," Cruentus said, joining the conversation, yet again. Hm. What to kill him with? Garlic? None here. A cross? Ha ha ha, like one's just lying around! Wooden stake? Better chance of finding a cross. Holy water? Be reasonable, we're in the Makai! Silver? Where the fuck would I get sil- wait! That's it!

"Kurama?" Kuwabara asked. "Why does Yusuke look like that?" No idea what he was talking about. I began to search my pockets. Left? No. Right? Got it! I pulled out a pure silver watch that Keiko had given me for my birthday last year. Hell, sacrifices must be made…not to mention I would be free of carrying that gaudy hunk of junk.

"I'm guessing that Yusuke does not want to see the time," Kurama said. Is there anything that he doesn't know?

"Why would he have a watch then?" Kuwabara asked. Baka.

"Because, guessing by the look, it is made of silver." I heard a growl and smiled.

"See, when you mess with me, you die," I said. I began to run up to him, along with Kurama and Kuwabara. We attacked him, Kuwabara trying to punch him in the torso…he missed. Kurama pulled out is rose whip and tried to get the sword away from the psycho. While Cruentus was distracted with Kurama's attempts, I saw that perfect chance to do some damage. When he was preoccupied, I took the watch and shoved it deep within his side.

I heard him gasp when I shoved the watch near the center of his chest. Heart or not, he's gonna be feeling that. Just to make sure he felt it, I twist my hand around before removing my hand, the watch was staying. "Aw, what's wrong? Don't you like my gift? Should I have wrapped it?" I said with a malicious grin. I heard metal hit the ground as Kurama got the sword away from him.

"I still have few minutes at most," Cruentus said as he straightened himself. "And all I have to say is: if I can't have him no one will!" Before what he said could register in my head, he was gone, along with the sword. Right then it hit all of us: Hiei! We all turned to face the other side of the room, just to see him lift the sword above Hiei.

"SPIRIT GUN!" I aimed the shot for his sword...and part of his arm, and missed.
