Sorry this chapter took so long. I've been trying to figure out a way to make the Genbu battle different from the show. Sadly, I couldn't. So this is basically like the show with the exception of odd comments here and there. If you guys can give me ideas on how to change things, I'd really appreciate it. I do plan on doing a chapter that focuses on Hiei and Kurama. I'm thinking just a normal day and Hiei decides to spend some time with her or something like that. You know a fluff chapter.

Also, I would like to share with all of you this flame I got. This person has to be the most stupid otaku on the face of the planet. She gave this flame for chapter one.

Lorea Uchiba -I happen to have a crush on this fox, thanks for the imagery. I HATE you!

Hello! She has a "crush" on him. ...Can you say stupid?He'sjust a piece of paper with ink to give him form.I'm sureall Kurama fans love him butunderstand that.If she didn't want the imagery, why click on the story. I did put "KURAMA'S A GIRL" in big capital letters. What kind of idiot would read something that she knows she would not enjoy. Also, if she is a Kurama fan like me and goes to look for pics, there is a picture of Kurama in a school girl uniform with his hair tied up and he's also wearing finger-less gloves (thinking about adding those later). Don't even getting me started on School-girl Kurama doujinshi lemons.

Now, the fun part. I'd like to hear what all you other people think of this flame. I enjoy it when people yell about a flamer. I like to think that they look back on the fics they flamed and see all the reviews and read them. Then they are like, why do all these people hate me? WAHHHHHH! Hehe…. I also think that some flamers of really great stories (you know, ones with like over 100 reviews) are just jealous cause their fics aren't doing well.

Anyway, speak your mind about the flamer. Leave a signed review and I will send you the pic of schoolgirl Kurama. Now on with the fic!

What If: A YYH fic

Chapter 4- Saint Beast Battles (mainly Genbu)

Our heroes made their way through the castle. A gratey voice beckoned them up winding stairs to a room. The door was slowly pushed open by an unseen force. Cautiously, the team of four stepped into the room.

Before the team stood a large round rock beast.

"I am Genbu. You only got this fair because of that incompetent eye-bat demon. Here is where you shall perish!"

"Bring it on, Rock head," challenged Yusuke with a crack of his fist. He made to move forward but was stopped by Kurama.

"It would be wise to fight one-one. I will take this first battle."

"You aren't gonna flirt again, are ya?" asked Yusuke.

Kurama gave him a smile. "No. I think it's time I showed you what I can really do."

Kuwabara, breaking out of his Kurama trance that he fell into, objected. "We can't let her fight!"

Hiei grunted. "Kurama is more ruthless than I am in a fight. Why do you think I chose her as my partner?"

Figuring that Hiei had a good point, Yusuke told Kuwabara to shut up and watch.

"Heheheh," laughed Genbu. "You think you can beat me all by yourself?"

Kurama game him a small smile. "Will you make the first move or shall I?" For a few moments, it was a stare down. "I'll make the first move then."

Yusuke's eyes caught sight of something strange. He noticed Genbu's tail was melting into the stone floor. "Kurama, watch out! He's going something strange with his tail!"

Does that sentence sound perverted to anyone else here? God, look what my friends have done to me! It's not a perverted sentence yet it sounds like one to me! That's it! No more AFF for me! …Oh yeah, the fic.

Kurama turned in alarm, barely dodging Genbu's stone tail as it shot up from behind her. She clutched at the wound it created across her stomach.

Genbu laughed. "I am made of stone. I can manipulate any stone to become apart of me. You can not escape from me."

"Kurama!" shouted Kuwabara.

"Are you okay?" asked Yusuke.

"I'm fine," she relied. "He just caught me off guard."

Hiei's fist slowly unclenched.

"Heheheh. I'm just getting started." Slowly, Genbu's whole body sank into the ground.

Kurama was on alert for any sign of the demon. She turned to Genbu who had snuck up behind her. Out of the corner of her eye, he noticed his tail appearing from the opposite side. She skillfully jumped out of the way, Genbu's tail only grazing her skin. Before she landed, Genbu was gone again.

"HAHAHAHA!" echoed the saint beast's laughter. "You can't win by simply dodging!"

With a confident smile, Kurama brushed back her hair. "You're right. I guess its time for me to get serious." In her hand she held a red rose.

"A rose? Kurama what are you thinking?" shouted Yusuke.

"Kurama's not thinking about dating him is she," said Kuwabara stupidly. Not that I have anything against Kuwabara. I think he's an important character. It's just that, well, this is Kuwabara.

"Not just any rose." Kurama flicked her wrist and the rose transformed into a long thorny whip. "This is my rose whip." The room was filled with the sweet smell of rose petals.

"There!" Kurama stuck with her whip just as Genbu emerged from the ceiling.

"This is the end," said Hiei with a smirk. "The thorns on Kurama's whip can slice through anything."

The two humans watched as Genbu was sliced to pieces.

"Way to go, Kurama!" congratulated Yusuke.

"That guy wasn't so tough after all," said Kuwabara.

"Baka. Kurama only made it look easy. You'd have been dead at Genbu's first strike."

"You're really pissing me off, shorty."

"Knock it off you two," said Yusuke. "We still have other demons to beat up."

Kurama paused. "It appears my fight is not over."

"Huh?" the humans wondered.

Genbu laughed as he pieced himself back together. "You can't defeat me! Blah blah blah… piece myself back together…blah blah blah." Silence. "What's wrong with you women! Why can't I say my whole speech?"

Me- "Cause everyone already knows what's gonna happen and I'm just trying to move on. Besides, you're not important enough to last much longer.

Hiei grunted. "can we get on with it?"

Me- Oh sorry. Continue.

"Can I ask a question first?" asked Yusuke. "How come you don't go gaga over Kurama when she's a total babe?"

"She may be attractive to you humans and some demons, but I am happily married to the most gorgeous women I've ever laid me eyes on." He showed the team a picture of his wife who looked like a female version of Genbu.

"Enough with this idiocy already!" shouted Hiei.

"Oh yeah." Genbu broke into hundreds pieces of rocks and hurled them at Kurama. The rocks hit her and reformed into Genbu behind her. Kurama knelt in pain, forming a plan in mind.

Genbu attacked again, Yusuke and Kuwabara shouted at her to move. Hiei seemed emotionless, but inside he was preparing to jump in there. Why? He doesn't know. But we all do.

Kurama stood and held her ground, taking the onslaught of the attack. When is passed, she fell to her knees once again.

Genbu was completely startled to find himself mis-reformed. The humans gut a kick out of it though.

Kurama held up a red stone. "This is what lets you reform. Without it, you're finished." She crushed the stone and Genbu was defeated.

They moved on. Kuwabara fought next. Who cares. Kurama has no focus there. Hiei kicked Seiryu's butt with his cool sword fighting skills. Yusuke went to fight Suzaku as the others took another path. Oh yeah, and just so you guys recall, Keiko's in trouble back on Earth.

BLAH BLAH BLAH….I can't wait to get to the Dark Tournament.

So Hiei, Kurama, and Kuwabara make it to the destroyed battleground. Yusuke, nearly dead, is given energy by Kuwabara who passes out as a result.

"I'll never understand why humans make such sacrifices for each other," said Hiei as he threw Yusuke over his shoulder.

"That quality enabled Yusuke to defeat Suzaku," said Kurama, pulling Kuwabara up onto her back with the help of her plants. The duo headed toward the exit.

"Perhaps. But risking my life for someone else is something you'll ever see me doing."

"Maybe," stated Kurama with a soft smile.

Later, Yusuke woke up at Kuwabara's house. Why? Because Kuwabara wanted to trick him of course! And avoid any explanations with Mrs. Urameshi. After punishing Kuwabara, he left for home, being lectured by Keiko along the way.

Kurama walked home from her new friend's house, enjoying the peaceful time after a hard battle. She wondered if her mother was worried and quickened her pace a bit. She had told her a plausible excuse of a study group and that she may return late, so she should be safe.

Up in the nearby tress, a shadowed figure followed her. Having nothing else to do, Hiei decided to stay at her place. Actually, in the tree near her house. For some reason, he felt the need to stay near her. Maybe it was because she was injured in the same place he had stuck her not to long ago. It couldn't be guilt. Hiei NEVER felt guilty. He was certain it wasn't worry. After all, Kurama could take care of herself.

With a grunt, Hiei pushed those thoughts aside. He was going to stay the night in Kurama's tree because it was comfortable and Kurama was sure to give him some food as long as he's there.

With a nod to himself for the logical reasoning, Hiei settled himself in the tree he had been thinking off. He watched as Kurama entered her home and greeted her mother. The smell of deliciously cooked reached his nose through that brief moment the front door was open. He hoped Kurama would come and give him some of the food soon. It smelled so good. But for now, he settled himself to wait.
