"Here," Genkai said as she pulled out a single talasman card and showed all of them in her living room.

Yusuke asked, "What does that do?"

Kuwabara stirred awake slowly and sat up, "What's going on? Hey, where'd everyone go?"

"We're in here!" Yusuke shouted at him, "Hurry up and get your ass in here."

"Hey!" he shouted as he jumped inside, "What happened anyway? Did we win?"

"No, but I have something that can," Genkai explained, "This talasman card banishes spirit foxes into demon world for 100 years if it's said with the right chant. I only have one left." She held it up to all of them.

Kurama asked, "Only one?"

"These are hard to come by ever since the barrier went up hundreds of years ago," she said, "which poses a problem. If I miss him at all we're all screwed."

Hiei said, "We're going to need a foolproof plan for anything to work against him."

"What I do have is a bunch of these," she pulled out several more different talasman cards.

Yusuke asked, "And what the hell do those do?"

"What do you think I'm going to do," she said, "not explain it to you? Stop talking for once and listen. These change appearances temporarily with the right chant and since this Akita guy is only after Kurama they can help." She plucked one of Kurama's strands of hair and broke it apart for each talasman card.

They each took one with a piece of hair. She made the chant and they all suddenly looked like Kurama.

"Whoa," Yusuke said.

"Don't talk," she warned, "it takes a lot more energy to change voices so all of you sound the same."

"Ugh," Yusuke said, "Genkai's voice doesn't match Kurama's body at all."

"Hey," Kuwabara said, "Hiei's finally average height."

Kurama kicked him in the chest and watched him fall to the ground. "I've always wanted to do that," he said.

Yusuke said, "Isn't is going to be kind of weird that there's five Kurama's all of sudden? I think he might notice something's up."

"A smoke screen," Kurama said, "I'll create one now and it should be plenty thick enough so he won't be able to tell where we are by the time he comes back."

As the smoke screen outside of Genkai's house got bigger and thicker, Akita appeared in the forest, angrier than ever before. Just as he appeared, the real Kurama noticed and ran into the thick fog cover.

"So you've been hiding here the whole time with your posee," Akita said as he walked into the fog, "I can smell that you're in here, stupid."

Kurama planted his seeds and forced giant vines to grow under all of their feets, splitting him up and causing blind spots for Akita so he wouldn't notice that Kurama was in multiple places at once.

Akita jumped up and stood on the tallest vine reaching over the fog and looked down around him.

Yusuke saw him first, and thought, How do I get his attention without shouting? He looked around and saw a rock to throw at him and hit him in the leg.

"You!" Akita shouted. Just then, a large rope suddenly came from the other side and pulled Akita out of sight.

Hiei pulled the rope and made him land not too far from him, hard onto the ground. "Now!" he shouted..

Genkai came out of the fog and Akita asked, "What?" at the sight of two Kuramas.

She threw the talasman card and shouted, "Ji, san!"

Akita screeched as he turned into a white fox, his true form, and disappeared along with his kimono into nothing. Kuwabara asked, "Where did he go?"

"Back to demon world," Genkai answered, "just like I said he would."

Kurama started clearing away the smoke and making the plants disappear. As the sun came back out from behind the fog, Yusuke asked, "So, how long are we stuck like this?" He looked at all of them, the five of them still looking like Kurama.

Kurama said, "Wait, it's already been a hour since you transformed, right? Shouldn't it have worn off by now?" He looked at Genkai.

"Yes," she said awkwardly.

"If I'm stuck looking like this I'm going to kick your ass, Genkai," Yusuke said angrily.

The encantation instantly stopped working and they all returned to their regular selves. The talasman cards fell to the ground, as did the pieces of Kurama's hair they were with. She asked, "Was is so hard to wait 30 seconds?"

Yusuke replied, "Come on, you were worried too!"

"You were the only one panicking," she said.

"You know guys," Kuwabara said, "going to school pretending to be Kurama wouldn't be so bad."

"What the hell are you saying?" Yusuke asked.

Hiei said, "You really think the people in you talk to regularly wouldn't wonder why you suddenly looked so different? I suppose if they were as dumb as you, I could see that happening." He turned around and started walking away.

"Say that to my face shorty!" Kuwabara shouted as Yusuke laughed at him.
