CrazyDreamerGirl: Hey! I want to thank Time and Fate, Soul's Eclipse, Easy-Company-506/101, ficfan3484, JoannaKuwabara, Kemiko3955 for reviewing. Look at the bottom for replies to your reviews!
I'm going to try to update as soon as possible. I've also started working on the stories I put in my Upcoming Stories section in my profile. I just work out the bugs with those stories.
Disclaimer: I wish I owned Yu Yu Hakusho or Inuyasha, but sadly I don't. I wonder how much I have to pay to own at least one?
Note: For the yyh gang, this takes place after the Dark Tournament and before the whole Sensui thing. In the anime, Kuwabara lost his spirit powers at this point, but in my story he still has it. For the Inuyasha gang, this takes place after Naraku disappeared without a trace after his failure attempt of kidnapping Rin.

The Feudale Era Across the Street
Chapter 11: The Fight
Naraku had been watching over everyone using Kanna's mirror. He was getting impatient, especially since they spent a good time trying to figure out what gender the demons were. He kept muttering to himself how he will kill Kuwabara first because he stopped the fighting. He wanted one of his enemies to die already, a bloodier death, the better. He also wanted to see what the newcomers were capable of. He hoped that they aren't very powerful.
"Kanna, check on Kaede. I want to know if she was killed yet," Naraku commanded. Kanna's mirror had a reflection of Kaede's hut. Then, there was a closer look revealing Kaede was alive and with a strange girl with blue hair. "Damn! How could that old, useless priestess survive! What happened to the demon I sent to kill her?" The mirror reflected a destroyed battlefield. A closer look revealed the demon's limbs. There was blood everywhere. "Who killed him? Maybe it was that girl that was with Kaede. Kanna, I wat to see what happened to Inuyasha. He better be dead."

Inuyasha had already started fighting with Sakura. (Kuwabara kept shouting in the background.) Sakura was using her sword to block the Tetsusaiga, which was taking a lot out of her considering Inuyasha's sword was made from his father's fang. There were sparks coming from the swords.
They jumped back. Sakura seathed her sword. She twirled her hands in the air. The attack she was planning seemed bad, really bad. Her eyes glowed red. Her demonic aura was being gathered in the air. It was forming a huge attack. An attack that could destroy half the village.
Damn, Inuyasha thought. He held his sword steady. He would have to block that attack or who knows what could happen. The energy was still being gathered.
"Maybe he should attack right now while she's vulnerable," Yusuke said.
"But that's dishonorable and it's wrong to hit a girl," Kuwabara retorted.
"It is dishonorable, but that attack could level half the village," Kurama stated.
"It can what?" they shouted in unison, well, everyone except Hiei and Inuyasha.
"So, we gotta help," Yusuke said.
"In a nonviolent way," Kuwabara quickly added.
"We should wait. We've never seen Inuyasha battle before. He might be able to handle it," Kurama said.
"We're doomed," Shippo sighed.
The attack was ready. It was glowing a sinister green. She hurtled it toward Inuyasha. The attack collided with his sword. He was being pushed back from the force of the attack. Sakura was laughing evilly. "I call that little attack Lightening Clash. It workes wonders for those stubborn enemies."
I have to do something, but what? I got it, I'll use the Backlash Wave, Inuyasha thought.
He jumped back and quickly sent a Wind Scar toward the attack. It mixed in with the demonic energy and sent it right back toward Sakura in a mass of demonic tornadoes. "Backlash Wave!" (I hope that's the right description for the Backlash Wave)
"What the hell?" she said in shock. Her own attack was being sent back at her with double the strength. Naraku conviently forgot to mention that. She was engulfed in the attack.
Once it cleared, all that was left was a pile of ashes and three angry Flower Maidens.

"Damn, that Inuyasha," Naraku said and began using more offensive curse words.
"Naraku, Kouga is traveling toward the village," Kanna stated in her emotionless tone. "Really, thatmight makethings more interesting," Naraku smirked.

Yusuke was staring at Inuyasha's Backlash Wave in awe. The half demon had some cool moves after all. Hiei scoffed. "It doesn't even compare to my dragon."
"He did it!" Kagome and Shippo exclaimed.
"He sure did. He killed a girl," Kuwabara said. Yusuke groaned. He wouldn't shut up unless he gets knocked out. That gave Yusuke a great idea.
"Hiei, could you-" Yusuke started, but Hiei already knew what he was asking.
"I'd be happy to," he said. Hiei took the hilt of his sword and hit Kuwabara at the back his head. He hit him harder than neccessary, but it wouldn't cause any real damage. He toppled over.
"Um, did you just knock out your own friend?" Miroku asked. He was suprised.
"He was annoying. Now we can fight in peace without having him constantly talk," Hiei replied, "Besides, it was Yusuke's idea."
"Since when do you listen to him?" Kurama asked.
"Since he said I could hit the fool."
The Flower Maidens were angry. Hana, the leader, stepped forward. She clenched her fist. "Die, half breed!" She charged at Inuyasha. It caught him by suprise. He skidded a couple feet. He wiped the blood from his mouth as he stood up. "You're stronger than the last one. Let me guess, you're the leader?" Inuyasha said.
"Yes, and your executioner," Hana replied.
"Inuyasha should really rest. He looks tired," Kagome said worriedly.
Hana sent a blast of energy toward Inuyasha. He didn't have time to dodge; she was too close. Inuyasha was blasted toward the house. A wall crumpled. He was having trouble standing up. Kagome ran to his side. "Inuyasha, stop fighting. One of us will take over from here," she pleaded. Tears were forming at her eyes.
"I'm fine. I don't need help," he insisted. Kagome was angry. She wanted to be nice to him since he's hurt, but he wasn't making that easy. "Sit."
"What was that for?" Inuyasha shouted.
"For not listening to me! Now you are going to rest or I'll say that word for an hour straight." He gulped and nodded his head. The rest nervously laughed. Kagome can really strike fear into people's hearts, especially Inuyasha's.
"I guess that means it's my turn," Yusuke said, cracking his knuckles.
"No, it's mine," Hiei said. He disappeared for a second and reappeared at the makeshift battlefield. Hopefully, they wouldn't have to pay for the damages.
Hiei unseathed his sword. Hana was ready. He spotted a Saimyosho. It was flying toward the ashes. The shard was still there. With his lightening fast speed, he attacked the overgrown bug before it could reach the shard. He picked up the shard and threw toward the others. Yusuke caught it, but it was so tainted he dropped it immediately. Kagome purified it.
"That's two shards in about an hour. It must be our lucky day," Shippo said.
Hna charged at Hiei. He dodged. They did this for a couple minutes. Everyone was getting a bit bored watching this. "Oh, finish her off already!" Yusuke shouted.
"Of course, I wouldn't want to keep the great detective waiting," Hiei said sarcastically. He rolled his eyes. There are still some Saimyosho here. I think I should let Naraku see a real attack, Hiei thought. He smirked.
Hana slipped something into her hand from her sleeve. She tossed it. Hiei caught between his two fingers. "A daggar, my, my, demons in the Feudal era are so predictable," he said. He burned the daggar. "I'm tired of this. I'll finish every single one of you flower people with one attack." Hiei's bandana burned off his face. His fist was surrounded with fire. He charged at her. He went too fast for her to dodge.
"Fist of the Mortal Flame!" She screamed loudly. She too was turned into ashes.
"Geez, these demons are weak," Yusuke said, "All Hiei had to do was use one attack."
"They aren't neccessarily weak. I have strong feeling that they are sisters and the death of Sakura clouded her judgement with anger and revenge so she couldn't focus on the fight," Kurama explained.

Naraku saw the attack Hiei pulled off. He was amazed. He had never seen a demon pull off an attack like that with fire that strong. "Maybe I should absorb him instead of Sesshomaru," he said.
"Hana was the leader, the strongest, what will happen to the rest?" Kana asked.
"Simple, they'll die. Most likely by the hands of that Hiei," he said. He was almost happy.
"What about the shards?"
"They can have them, besides Hiei is faster than my Saimyosho. There is no point. From now on, I'll send demons to attack them without shards."

Hiei walked toward the remainig maidens. He stretched out his hand and said, "Hand over the shards and I'll consider sparing your pathetic lives."
Bara had a determined look. She put up a barrier, separating herself and her sister from the fire demon. "You'll never get the shards!" she shouted. Hiei was getting mad and impatient. He was getting the Fist of the Mortal Flame ready once again.
"How about we tell you were Naraku is hiding?" Yuri blurted out.
"Yuri," Bara scolded. She hit her on the head. Hiei calmed down.
"Speak," he said.
"Well-" she started, but something happened. The tainted shards glowed darker. Both Yuri and Bara couldn't breath. The shard was killing them off. Naraku planned this from the start. Once he found out they were willing to spill his secret hiding spot, he would kill them off using the tainted shards.
Hiei would have read their minds, but the barrier surrounding themselves and an extra set of barriers was surrounding their minds stopped him. They were so close, but Naraku was prepared for this.
The barrier faded. Kagome ran to dead maidens and picked up the shards. "It's so sad. They were being used by Naraku and they didn't even know," Kagome said.
"Hn." Hiei walked away. Kuwabara woke up, just in time to see all the maidens dead.
"Hey, Urameshi, what happened?" Kuwabara asked.
"They're all dead."
"Dead! But-" Yusuke covered his mouth before he could begin his rant.
"Hey, what about that barrier surrounding the sacred mountain?" Yusuke asked.
"It was just a trap set by the maidens. Bara was the one that made it," Hiei said.
"And you can tell, how?" Inuyasha asked.
"When she put up that barrier a couple minutes ago, I could sense a simliar energy coming from it. It matched the one that surrounded the moutain. Now that she's dead, it's gone," Hiei replied.
"It's gone, huh? Well, I don't smell Naraku, so he's not up there," Inuyasha said.
"So, what do we do now?" Yusuke asked.
"Something is coming," Kurama said.
They saw a tornado coming rapidly toward them. "Great, it's Kouga," Inuyasha groaned.
"Kouga?" Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama asked.

CrazyDreamerGirl: My fingers are so tired form typing this. I hope you liked the fighting scenes. As I said before, I'm not very good at those. Ooh, they get to meet Kouga now. I want to thank The Violent Tomboy for reminding me about Kouga. I forgot about that guy. --;
If anyone is wondering why Hiei could touch the tainted shard and Yusuke barely could, it's because I've kinda noticed from the episodes, only really evil humans and usually demons are more able to touch it, along with Kagome and Kikyo of course. And remember, my story is set right after the Dark Tournament so Yusuke doesn't discover his demon heritage yet.
I think it's possible for someone in the show to die from tainted shards. If you remember the episodes about Tsubaki, the evil priestess, she tried to kill Kagome with tainted shards with a curse on it. Naraku did something similar to that.
I hope that answers any questions you might have. And hopefully my info is right.
