Chapter Six- The Demon Anku

Anku attacked the nearest person and that was Hiei. The two demons dueled while the others watched amazed. Hiei was actually having a hard time!

"Well, this won't be easy," said Yusuke.

"No, not at all," said Kurama. "But we'll have an advantage because Miss Allyah has weakened Anku, and so will Hiei. It'll be a bit easier for us."

"Hiei!" Mari screamed as Anku punched Hiei in the gut, making him fly into a wall. He got up slowly, blood dripping from his mouth. Hiei wiped it up and was about to unsheathe his katana (sword) when Yusuke made him stop.

"Hey Hiei! It's my turn!" And with those words, Yusuke launched himself in a full frontal attack with his fists.


Hiei glared, but there was nothing else he could do, so he returned to the others.


Yusuke delivered dozens of punches, but all of them were blocked. Seeing that it wasn't working, he stepped back to power up. But, unfortunate for Yusuke, Anku anticipated his attack and waited.

"Spirit gun!"

The green spirit blast headed for Anku. It looked like it was right on target, until Anku jumped when the blast would hit him. The spirit gun passed Anku and made a huge hole in the wall behind him.

"Damn it! Can't you stand still, so I can kill you!" screamed Yusuke.

The others sweat dropped, beside Kuwabara who agreed with Yusuke.

"Ouch," said Allyah, as Yusuke was bombarded with punches.

Yusuke couldn't block; Anku was too fast. He was loosing strength and they all knew it too.

"This one last hit will finish you!" said Anku, as his fist started to glow purple. His fist came flying toward Yusuke, about to reach him until a voice stopped him.

"Spirit arrow!"

A blue arrow hit Anku in the chest and knocked him into a wall.

Everyone looked at Mari, who had fired the arrow.

"What? I'm not gonna stand here and watch him kill Yusuke!"

Yusuke smiled at her before falling from exhaustion.

"We should finish this so Allyah, Hiei, and Yusuke can get some rest and medical attention," said Kurama.

"Hn, I don't need any medical help fox," said Hiei.

Kurama ignored him and started to talk to Mari. "Will you assist me?"

"Sure," she replied. "I'm the diversion, no?"

The fox nodded and Mari "rushed into battle mode" which was really her walking up to the now-standing Anku and started smirking at him.

"HA! Little girl, you'll regret firing that arrow at me!"

Anku tried doing the same thing to her as he did to Yusuke, a barrage of punches. But Mari gracefully dodged every punch. It looked like she was dancing!

Anku stopped for a second when he felt something hit him. He brushed it aside though because he really wanted to kill at least ONE of them.

He let his guard down for a second during his thoughts and Mari took advantage of it. She upper-cutted him and landed a solid kick in his gut. Anku fell down, but quickly recovered and managed to kick her.

Mari went flying across the room and before she could crash into the wall she flipped and landed on her feet.

"Little girl, I will-

"Hey baka!" said Mari, interrupting him. "You're growing weeds!"

"What?"

All of a sudden, vines and roots started to grow out of Anku. They kept growing until they engulfed his whole body. Inside it laid the dead body of the demon Anku.

"WOW! Anku got swallowed up by a weed!" shouted Kuwabara.

"No you buffoon. Kurama planted a seed in him while Mari acted as a distraction," said Hiei.

"Oh, I knew that!"

'Right. . .' they all thought.
