-Begin Transmission-

Kitsune: Hello all! I hope you all reviewed my story well. If you didn't, let ten hundred tapeworms eat at your insides out of my hatred for you!

Sora: Ew...tapeworms...

Sahara: -sigh- Have mercy on them, Kitsune, for once in your life.

Kitsune: Why should I? They are the ones who aren't reviewing! -pointing to the camera-

Sahara: You have to be open to criticism. It says so in the rules.

Kitsune: Just because I'm open to it, doesn't mean I have to enjoy it!

Sahara: Will you just get on with the story and the shout-out?

Kitsune: Gladly. -turns back to camera- I wanna shout out to Kato Shingetsu, a true reviewer, a true fan, a true author, a true pickle!

Sahara: Kato's a pickle? O.o

Kitsune: No, but I'm hungry! -grabs pickle jar and smashes it into the wall. Picks up a pickle and eats it- AHH! I GOT GLASS IN MY TONGUE!

Sahara: That's why there's a lid on pickle jars, you just unscrew it and grab a pickle out.

Kitsune: I got a joke! What's the difference between a pickle jar and a pregnant woman?

Sora and Sahara: What?

Kitsune: You can unscrew a pickle jar! -laughing- Sorry, I heard that joke from a friend of mine. Anyways, another round of applause for Kato Shingetsu because she's a really nice person, unlike many people who've met me! Candy for Kato! -hands out Snicker bars-

Sora: What about the Pixy Stix?

Kitsune: -hiss- -slaps her hand- Mine!

Sora: O.O -backing away-

Sahara: Kitsune doesn't own anything except those characters from the last chapter. Get on with the story!

Chain Letter

Chapter 15: Kitsune vs. Kaonashi!

Kitsune cornered her two friends, and they cowered in fear of the now full demon glaring murderously down at them. She raised her hand to attack...

Sahara and Sora closed their eyes and braced themselves for the attack. Blood spurted on their clothes, but they felt no pain.

Looking up, they saw Kitsune's left hand digging her nails into her right arm, blood pooling out of the wound. Chelsey looked at the scene in shock. "Damn you," she said, "How could you have..."

"Run..." Kitsune struggled to get the words out. "Get away, quick..." She was struggling with herself, her hands still dug into her arm, and she was swinging it in a blind fury, trying to regain control of herself. Sora and Sahara quickly scurried away and rushed to help Kurama up. Chelsey confronted Kitsune.

"You miserable half-breed!" the corpse woman spat. "Finish them off once and for all!"

"Shut up, you decomposing wench," Kitsune growled, in anger, "I'm done taking orders from you."

She grabbed Yurusenai with her left hand and jammed it into her right arm, trying to silence it. She pulled it out and stuck it into the ground, leaning on it. Her fangs were still long and sharp, and so were her claws, and she still had her demon markings, but her eyes regained their pure golden hue.

O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O

Kaonashi scratched Yusuke, leaving a long, vertical slash along his cheek. Yusuke cried out in pain and fell back, stumbling over himself and landing on his back.

Kaonashi walked up to Yusuke, that dangerous glint in his eyes present. He suddenly stopped, his eyes turning back to brown, but his otherwise rabid characteristics still present.

'Huh?' Yusuke thought, 'Why'd he stop?'

He turned his attention to the rotting flesh that made up Chelsey McCann. Kitsune had somewhat taken control of her own mind, so did that mean that the evil spirit was losing her touch? And if so, did that mean that her control over both Kitsune and Kaonashi was slipping?

Suddenly, Kitsune and Kaonashi turned and looked into each others eyes, the tension building. Kitsune's eyes returned to their cold state, and Kaonashi snarled. Kitsune readied her sword and Kaonashi changed stances. He slowly approached the demon girl, and the rotting body backed away, watching in amusement.

"I hate that it's coming down to this, Kaonashi, but I guess we have no choice," Kitsune said, calmly, bringing her sword up.

"You were a good girlfriend," Kaonashi told her, "Now, let's dance."

Kaonashi charged at Kitsune, who brought her sword down on him. In turn, he dodged, and struck her across the side. He grabbed a samuri's blade out of one of the skeletons littering the room and swung it at her. The battle went on like that; strike, block, strike, dodge, block, dodge, dodge, strike.

"Quickly, while they're preoccupied, we must strike now!" Kurama told Yusuke. The others left now fighting made their way to Chelsey.

"I hate seeing this," Sora said. "They're not supposed to fight each other."

"They have no choice, Sora," Sahara told her, "As long as that rotting corpse is controlling them, they'll be at it for hours until one of them, or both of them, dies. If we kill Chelsey, we might be able to save them before it's too late."

"Then let's hurry!" Sora cried, swinging her blade at the corpse. Chelsey dodged, turning away from the battle she was previously watching to glare malevolently down at the group coming swiftly towards her.

Hiei jumped into the air, his katana becoming engulfed in black fire, and he brought it down on her. Her body began to burn away, but it wasn't enough to fell her. He sliced her body in half once more, but before she could reassemble, Sahara blasted away her body, turning it into ash, and it blew away in the wind.

O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O

Kitsune swung her bleeding right arm at Kaonashi, making blood splatter towards him, and cried, "BLADES OF BLOOD!" The blood became sharp red blades that cut across Kaonashi's chest. He roared in pain, but ignored it and grabbed her by the hair and tossing her into a stone column, making it crack and crumble beneathe her.

She stood up out of the rubble, shaking her head to get the dirt out of her hair. She noticed that her sword had been knocked out of her hand, and that Chelsey's sword was laying by her side. She grabbed it, turning to Kaonashi.

"I'm sorry, Kaonashi," she said, raising the sword, "I have no control over my body..."

"Don't worry," he managed to say, "We'll find a way to beat this..."

'Heh heh heh...Such naive fools...'

"Who...who said that?" Kitsune questioned, then looked at the sword she raised above her head.

'I am the Jigoku Sword. I store part of Chelsey's evil nature. Obey me, and kill him! Do so, and I will make you part of Chelsey's empire, a general, second-in-command, even.'

"Sorry to disappoint you, but that's not what I want!" Kitsune said, trying to lower her arm from striking Kaonashi. Instead, the sword glowed, egging her on even more. She had no choice.

Kitsune rushed at Kaonashi, swinging the sword at him. He grabbed an old sword and deflected the blow. But she came at him again, and as the blades connected, Jigoku, the evil sword, spoke again.

'Heh heh heh...Kaonashi...do you long for power? I know your thoughts, and that you hold a deep lust for power...a wish that I can grant...'

"Shut up, you stupid sword!" Kitsune said, not taking her eyes off of Kaonashi, who's face was only millimeters away because he was blocking her attack, "No one's listening to you!" And she pushed against the sword harder, pushing Kaonashi back.

Suddenly, Kaonashi did something unexpected. He grabbed TetYokai, quickly concentrating his energy and making it transform into a very powerful sword, and slashing it down as he and Kitsune parted. It sent a huge blast her way, but he dropped the sword, falling to his knees. TetYokai's barrier rejected even him. Kitsune was the only one who would be able to touch it now.

When the smoke cleared, there stood Kitsune, without so much as a scratch on her. "Are you okay, Kaonashi?" she called. But her body was quickly changing stances, and she charged again. She brought up the sword, swinging down on Kaonashi. He didn't move.

'Kaonashi...no...NO!' her mind screamed, as the blade made contact with his body.

...Or did it?

It seemed that time had stopped. They remained in that position. He kneeled there, looking up helplessly, and she with the sword only millimeters away from his face, tears streaming down her face. Neither moved.

Suddenly, Kitsune's hand fell to her side, dropping the sword, and she fell to her knees, then falling onto her side, eyes closed. Kaonashi breathed a sigh of relief, and stood up. A move he, himself, had made.

"What happened?" he asked to no one in particular. He looked around him, and noticed the smoke rising from a whiles away. His eyes widened in realization. "She's dead..."

He kneeled beside Kitsune, putting her head in his hands. She opened her eyes slowly, looking up at him, weakly. "Is she gone?"

"Yes..." he replied, tears streaming down the sides of his face, "I think she's gone...And--" His eyes snapped open, wide. He glanced behind him.

Suddenly, a cackle erupted from the smoke, and when it cleared, Chelsey floated in the air, her body see-through.

"Damn, when will she die!" Yusuke cussed.

"You fools! You cannot kill me!" Chelsey cackled, evilly, "I am immortal! I have infinite power!"

"INFINITE POWER, MY ARSE!" Kitsune and Kaonashi screamed, rushing to the group's side.

Sora hugged the two. "You're back to normal!"

"Yeah, we can't be finished off that easily." Kaonashi said. All turned to Chelsey, taking different stances.

"This is it, Chelsey!" Yusuke yelled, pointing his finger at the evil spirit.

A mysterious white fog entered the room, seemingly from nowhere. It lay on the ground, around their feet. A white light erupted from behind everyone and they turned to Kurama, who was enveloped in white light.

When it faded, there stood a handsome man with silver hair and golden eyes, fox ears and a tail. He wore a white fighting uniform, and an angry expression.

Kitsune's eyes widened. "Yoko..."

Kitsune: CLIFFHANGER!

Sahara: Whoop-dee-doo...
