Kitsune: Wow, I just finished the fourth chapter, so I'm working on the next. Chapter five is up!
Sahara: Woah, you're on a roll! Two fanfics in one day? You're also doing them ahead of time so you can upload them at school. Have you finally realized you want to make them for fun?
Kitsune: I am making them for fun, but I want people to read them as well. I mean, all this hard work for nothing? I don't think so!
Sahara: You have to learn to have fun once in a while. I write fanfics for the pure pleasure of writing, not because I want people to read them and think they're great.
Kitsune: Whatever. Anyways, I gonna try to make a new fanfic series thingy. I don't really know what to call it. But hopefully I can make it make sense. Right now with this story, I'm just making it up as I go along. So, Sahara, would you please say the disclaimer?
Sahara: Sure. Kitsune does not own the YYH characters, me or Sora. She does not also own Chelsey McCann. She got that character from a real chain letter she'd gotten on her Quizilla account. Her quizilla name is kitsunefoxgirl and mine is AnGlEoFdArKnEsS2005. She also doesn't own any lines she might have taken from movies like Thirteen Ghosts, she's just using them.
Kitsune: Ya know what, you're really good at making disclaimers.
Sahara: That's because you just say random things.
Kitsune: Fuzzy monkeys will blow up the sun!
Sahara: I rest my case. Read and review for her so she can make more chapters. And no flames.
Kitsune: That would be much appreciated, onegai. Arigato gozimasu!
Chain Letter
Chapter 5: City of the Dead!
"YUSUKE, LOOK OUT!" Kurama called out.
Yusuke turned in time to see a horde of zombies rushing at them from the western side of the hill, opposite of the village.
"HOLY SH--!" Kuwabara screamed, and again we blank out his words!
Kurama brought out his rose whip and slashed the front line, but more rushed in. Kuwabara shot a blast of his spiritual energy at the approaching danger, and knocked out about forty-two. Yusuke shot his Spirit Shotgun attack and wiped out another fifty. There were about a hundred and fifty more left. Hiei stepped forward and shot his ultimate Black Dragon Wave attack. The dragon split into three and knocked out the rest of the zombies.
The four teens not part of Team Urameshi stood back and smiled. They then huddled together for a group discussion.
"They're really powerful, they'd be really good in the tournament." Sora said.
"Yeah, but the problem is, that we have right now to think about the curse. If they don't make it out of here alive, there won't be a tournament for them to go to." Kitsune said back.
"We don't exactly have a team, either. We need four more people to be a team, and we're powerful, too," Kaonashi added.
"So, shall we tell them about our powers?" Sora asked.
"No, let's let them figure it out for themselves. When we fight, they'll see what we're capable of," Sahara whispered.
"They never really told us about themselves, either. We only told them what they saw. Not about our powers, and we now know about thei're powers, but not really about them." Kaonashi said.
"What do you think, Kitsune?" Sahara asked.
"Well, one's human, I can tell that right away. That oaf, Kuwabara. Two are like half and half. Yusuke's half human and half demon." she replied.
"Yeah, I've heard about Yusuke! He's the ancestoral son of King Raizen, so he's got demon blood in his veins. Now that's power." Sora said.
"Yeah, well, I know a lot about that Hiei. Forbidden Child, and all. But that Kurama...I feel like I know him somewhere, he's part human...and I can smell fox blood in him." Kitsune said.
"What do you mean, you know him from somewhere?" Sahara asked.
"He seems so familiar, like I've met him before."
"Hey, you guys, whatcha talkin' about?" Yusuke's voice interrupted. The foursome looked up to see dead bodies on the ground and the Urameshi Team standing triumphantly, with weapons in hand.
"Why didn't you guys help?" Kuwabara asked.
Kaonashi shrugged one shoulder. "You guys looked like you could handle it by yourselves. But this was nothing compared to what lies in the village. This wasn't even a preliminary round."
They made their way towards the village, encountering a few wandering dead along the way. They came to the city gates, old and rickety. They entered the city and began walking. They were near a fountain surrounded by huts and houses. Kitsune stopped them.
"What is it?" Kurama asked. Kitsune pointed. In front of them was another troop of 400 zombies. Behind them, the fountain water was red. Blood. A heavy energy clung to the air, became stronger by the fountain.
"The fountain's a source of energy for these creatures!" Sora said, "That's probably why there's so many!"
"Well," Yusuke said, "We'll just have to take out that fountain."
Kaonashi held him back. "Let us take care of this."
The other four teens stepped up. "Alright, Sora, you take the hundred on the right. Kaonashi, hundred on the left. Kitsune, hundred in the back, and I'll take the hundred in front." Sahara shouted.
"Right!" They all said simultaneously. Kaonashi put his hands together, spread open, so Kitsune could put her foot in them. He lifted her and she jumped into the crowd of zombies, getting her katana ready. Sahara, Sora and Kaonashi all rushed at the corpses in different directions, following Sahara's orders.
Kaonashi was fighting them in hand-to-hand combat, knocking out three at a time. He made a roundkick and took out another, which knocked down four more. Another right hook took out five. He jumped and crushed one's skull. He ripped the head off one, and slammed it into another. He was tearing them apart, piece by piece. He karate chopped one, kicked one between the legs, and slit open one's throat with his hand.
Sora was busy taking apart the zombies with her staff. At one end of her staff was a sharp blade, the weapon was called a ban-ryu. She jumped, slammed the pole into a zombie's head, then spun it around and around, knocking down ten zombies at a time. When the corpse on the end of her ban-ryu was off, she stuck it into one's chest, threw it over her head into the other crowds of walking dead, and slit another's throat, decapitating them.
Kitsune was fighting with her sword, slashing and guarding. Ten fell. Thirteen more came in their place. She sheathed her katana and brought out her sais, sticking them effectively into the zombie's chests. She brought out her daggers, throwing them into one's eyes, another's heart, another one's crotch. She gripping one by the handle and slit one's throat. When she was out of daggers, she brought out her long knives, slicing any which way, the last zombie in her path made a grab for her, but she disappeared. The zombie looked around stupidly, until Kitsune reappeared behind him and cut off him head, then kicked it into Sahara's crowd, hitting another one in the head, knocking off that head, and the bodies walked into each other, then fell down, dead.
Sahara was using all three of her swords to outdo the rest of her pack of zombies. She sliced, three fell, sliced again, ten more gone, jumped and came down with the sword, fifteen turned to powder. She saw one take off it's head and throw it at her, but she held her sword like a bat and swung and the head bounced off at an angle, hitting another zombie in the face. Thirteen zombies now crowded around her, grabbed her, held her arms, legs. Her swords were out of her hands (and mouth), lying useless on the ground. One zombie leaned into her neck and tried to take a bite, until Sahara got pissed and flames exploded around her, burning the zombies to ashes.
The last zombie was killed by Kaonashi, but not until he got scratched on his arm. He cried out in pain, and stuck his hand into the zombie's chest, pulled out it's heart and threw it on the ground. The body dropped.
Kitsune rushed over to Kaonashi, inspecting the wound. "You're hurt."
"It's a scratch, nothing more. I'm fine," he replied. Kitsune looked at him in the eyes, raised one eyesbrow skeptically. "I'm fine." he assured her.
Team Urameshi felt their jaws drop. These four people were very skilled in fighting. They walked over to them. Kitsune was bandaging Kaonashi's wound, Sora was wiping the blood off her ban-ryu, and Sahara was taking care of the fountain. She sent a blast of blackness at the fountain and it exploded. The water lost it's red color, instead, seeped out of the fountain to rest at their feet.
"You guys are really good fighters," Yusuke said.
"Thanks, you guys are, too," Sora replied.
Sahara turned to Kitsune. "Where are the other fountains?"
"Other fountains?" Hiei asked.
Sahara nodded. "There are more. I know the history of this village better than anyone. Before we can reach Chelsey, we have to destroy those fountains. They are what gives the zombies their strength. And be careful, zombies are the least of our problems in this city. There are much worse things." She turned back to Kitsune. "Use your power. Tell us where the other fountains and shrines are so we can destroy them."
Kitsune rubbed her temples and groaned.
Sora looked at her. "Is it bad today?"
"Bad isn't the word. Insane seems more appropriate. It's like she's breathing down my neck. It's my opinion that we get out of here, now." Kitsune said.
"We can't do that, you know that. We have to get rid of the curse. If we don't, the world will suffer." Sahara said, then turned away.
Kitsune brought out a pack of pills, but Sahara turned back and took them away from her. "Augh!" Kitsune groaned, "I need to take off the edge!"
"You know we need you clear headed, otherwise, your power's useless. Show us where they are. Show us where she's hiding, Kitsune," Sahara said, somewhat soothingly.
Kitsune held her hand above the ground, shaking a little, looked up into Sahara's face, unsure. Sahara nodded. Kitsune took a breath and touched the ground. Images flashed before her eyes, she felt pain. Saw blood, bodies, death. She screamed and took her hand off the ground.
Team Urameshi looked at the fox demon sitting on the ground, shocked. She was screaming because she was touching the ground? What was going on?
"Son of a b--ch!" Kitsune shouted, "You said there were only 500 people living in the village that had died, there's 10,000 victems here!"
"Yeah, well, Chelsey's become too powerful. Her power had reached outside the barrier of the city and into the human and demons worlds. She's added a few victems since she died. Where were the fountains?" Sahara said.
Kitsune took another breath. Trying to relieve herself of those images. "There should be another one up ahead. We go forty feet, then turn right, then north again."
"How many more enemies are there?" Sora asked. Kaonashi nodded for support.
"Only three, but they're really powerful. And they're not zombies, either." Kitsune told them.
"If they aren't zombies, then what are they?" Kurama asked, helping her up. They walked, turned the corner, and came to the fountain.
"They aren't living, but they aren't dead. They take the lives of people without a mess. Yet they are ruthless killers since the beginning of time." Kitsune said, softly.
"No more riddles," Yusuke groaned.
"Well, well, well, what's this? Three beautiful girls and five food sources. Isn't this nice, Mikhail?" a voice said, it was calm and smooth.
"It is, Darius. We have found our mates, and we have found our food. What do you think, Nicolai?" another came, deeper, but just as smooth.
"It is a pleasant surprise. You must die now, humans..."
Ahead of them, the team saw...
Kitsune: An icecream mountain!
Sahara: You wish!
Kitsune: Yes, I do, but I have my Pixy-Stix! All hail the Pixy Stix!
Sahara: -bows-
Kitsune: -bows-
Sahara: We are so insane!
Kitsune: Yesh, we are!
Sahara: Isn't that one of your words? "Yesh?"
Kitsune: Yesh! Review and no flames, onegai. I hope this all makes sense to you. So, let's get on with the spoiler!
The team has found out what the Spirit Detectives are capable of, but something new stands in their way. But with Kaonashi injured and Kitsune trying to recover from her vision, who will stop these new foes from taking the lives of Team Urameshi? Find out next time on...
Sahara: Yu-Yu-Hakusho: Chain Letter! Gawd, that was corny...
