Okay, so it seems that no one is going to send me the chapter I asked for, and since I have motivation for what I want to happen in this chapter, I'm going to write it. The fighting is going to suck majorly, but on a good note, the egg is going to hatch.

WARNING: I can't write fight scenes.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own it.

The trees shook lightly as two demons stepped out from behind them. They both had murderous looks in their faces as they gazed at the two standing in their way.

"Move, humans," one of the demons said.

"Just who," Kurama started to say as he transformed, "are you calling human?"

The two demons turned to each other as Hiei unsheathed his sword. "But Lord Kharl said they were human."

"This will be more fun, though," the other said.

With matching smirks the demons paired up with the demon facing them.

Kurama was easily able to dodge his opponent's punches and kicks, and like always, he tried to figure out his opponent and his fighting strategy before he attacked.

Hiei, on the other hand had gotten paired up with a demon that was almost as fast as he was. Hiei's sword was knocked out of his hands early in the fight and Hiei was now using his flame attacks to fight the demon.

Even though the fight he was in was a very high speed one, Hiei couldn't help but worry about Kurama. The fox had never been very good in a fight with fire.

"Kurama!" Hiei yelled when he saw Kurama's opponent shoot a fireball at the silver fox demon.

As fast as Kurama had been dodging the earlier hits, this one hit Kurama right in the chest. The silver fox was thrown ten feet right into the base of a tree.

It was then that Hiei realized that his opponent had little to no power compared to the demon that Kurama had been fighting. However, that didn't mean that the demon he was fighting was weak.

After a moment of indecision, Hiei ducked under a punch and went for his sword. At that exact moment, he felt a rush of heat from the scarf around his neck. With a burst of flames that could be seen from a mile away, the great phoenix hatched.

A giant bird of flame (1) flew up over the heads of the four demons and circled them lazily. It opened its mouth and shot huge, violet flames at the demon that had shot a fireball at Kurama.

The phoenix then glared at the demon that had been fighting Hiei. In a quick dive, the giant bird grabbed the demon as if it were an eagle grabbing a fish from the water. It tightened its talons on its prey and flew to the lake where it dropped the demon.

The fire demon hit the lake with a splash that doused the nearby bushes.

As soon as the water hit the bushes two figures emerged, both soaking wet. One a silver fox that could be identified as Kurama's pet Ginsei, and the other was none other than Draco Malfoy.

Draco had numerous scratches on his hands and was glaring at Ginsei. The fox, on the other hand, looked very pleased with himself.

Ginsei looked up and saw the giant phoenix and started running toward Kurama who was now in his human form.

"Hey, Ginsei," Kurama said quietly. "You been a good boy?" Ginsei nuzzled his nose against Kurama, asking in his own way if his master was okay. "Don't worry about me," Kurama assured his fox, "I'll be better in no time."

"Kurama, maybe next time you will let Yusuke fight the fire demons."

"No, this was fun. And where did your giant bird go?" Kurama asked, looking in the sky for the fiery bird.

"That was an illusion. Fushicho never left my scarf." Hiei motioned to a small bird that was nestled in his scarf. It gave a quiet chirp, sort of like a "hello" to Kurama.

"It's nice to meet you . . . wait. Did you really name it Fushicho?" Kurama asked bluntly.

"Yes. You have a problem with that?"

"You named your phoenix, Phoenix?"

"I could have named it Tori," Hiei said.

"Bird. You come up with some really creative names, Hiei."

"Hn, you're not much better. Ginsei just means Made of Silver."

"At least I didn't name him Fox."

"Whatever. The demons are dead, and we have to reach that Malfoy kid before he reaches the castle."

"Go catch him, Hiei. I have a large burn on my chest, and I can't move very fast. I'll catch up later. But first, I think I'll go see the nurse."

1) Think Moltres from Pokemon if you have to, but I'm thinking a lot more fire.

Waaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! I hate writing fight scenes!! No one sent me an e-mail, so to punish all of you, this chapter is short!!!! I'm also going to leave it with an unfinished ending.

Teach you to ignore a request. Meanies!!!! Sticks out tongue

This chapter sucks. I hate it. But I guess some of it was good. Not much, but some. I'll post this on Sunday or maybe Monday. Not sure when.
