To the Rescue

Kurama POV

This is really bad. The demons have been able to get us back to back and surround us on all sides with out even a small space for escape. Every one in a group looked tired, even the great Lord Sesshomaru. I looked over to see Kuwabara, standing tall and ready for the next attack, but his spirit sword was dull with lack of energy. Yusuke was panting and readying his finger for another shot gun, it would probably be the last one he could form without sinking into a wrong timed collapse. Hiei had his unveiled his Jagan, he had already used the strength of the dragon. Hiei was an expert swordsman as well but his arm was just barely shaking, for him to show any sign of weakness he must be completely exhausted. When I looked over at Kagome I was surprised, out of all of us she looks the least tired and to be in the best of health. I didn't know why, she had been fighting just as hard as any of us if not harder. She had a sword drawn that seemed to have the most unusual aura around it, at first I wondered as to why she was using a sword when I saw that she was out of arrows.

'Wrong red, she is just as drained as the rest of us. The only difference is that she can hide her weakness better than the rest of her. Wait- see there her breathing is slightly irregular.' The ever helpful Yoko was able to see that a girl was extremely tired, but he couldn't offer any other help. I was exhausted and didn't have the energy to release Yoko I had waited to long. The most powerful demon standing opened its huge jaws and gathered a huge amount of energy and shot it at us. Everything seemed to move in slow motion as the blast drew closer and closer to us all, none of us had the strength to move out of the way.

Just when it was about to make contact a tornado seemed to form around us and the blast was thrown to the side and went on and on to the outer atmosphere. I had only ever seen wind pick up and form like that once during one of Yusuke's matches at the Dark Tournament. Just then the demons around us started to freeze, another talent that had not been seen in quite a while.

In less than four minutes the demons that we had been unable to defeat were dead and out of the woods came five of our old friends. Chu was the first one I noticed, he was the tallest and the Mohawk seemed really was hard not to notice, it was just so out of place. Next was Jin, with his flaming red hair he stuck out like a sore thumb. Rinku was easy to spot as he was hopping to us, ahead of every one else. Shishi and Touya I saw and noticed at the same time, both hung back a little, and seemed completely oblivious to the rest of the world. They acted as though there wasn't a care in the world. Not knowing who they were Lord Sesshomaru hung back as the rest of us went to great and thank the group for their timely rescue; even Hiei came along to see them. I had forgotten that they were staying over in this area of demon world to train, to train so that one day they would be able to beat Yusuke. When I finally reached them I thanked them warmly and listened as Jin and Yusuke hit it off, acting like long lost brothers.

"Hey mate, who are those two over there?" Chu asked me after everyone had settled down from the excitement. I looked over at Kagome and Lord Sesshomaru; there were about ten feet behind us and looking on with curiosity. Well Kagome was, Lord Sesshomaru stilled maintained his face of utter indifference.

"Well Chu, allow me to introduce the Lord Sesshomaru, and the Lady Kagome." I said, I watched as Kagome's eye brow twitched slightly at being called lady. I wondered briefly as to what could with her being called by that title. I didn't think it was an insult or something of the source.

'Red you still have so much to learn about females.' Yoko sighed in the back of my mind with a hint of sorrow in his voice. Just what did he know that I didn't, because of Yoko and his daily musings I know more about women than some body my age ought to know.

'Tell me Red, would you like to have people respect you and give you such a honoring title after you had been helpless to save your friends and had been forced to watch them all die. She is living a life her companions never were able to have, she probably hates a part of herself for it.' Stated the all wise, Yoko.

/Hn, the fox has a point. It would make much sense for a human to think that way./ Hiei added as he had also entered my thoughts. If I didn't know better I would think that I had lost my mind, it was odd to have three voices inside your head. Instead of voicing my own silent thoughts, I had Yoko there to reply and mock them and even Hiei would join in at times. Life sure is wonderful, I just love my luck. Speaking of luck I was lucky that neither Yoko nor Hiei had taken offense to that.

"Lord Sesshomaru, Kagome these crazy guys are; Chu, Rinku, Jin, Touya and Shishi." I said as I pointed them each out, I also made sure not to call Kagome, lady again. Lord Sesshomaru, barely moved his head in acknowledgement, while Kagome bowed her head.

"Oy, Urameshi, you lucky bunch should come back with us. Its late and the wind has an unlucky feel to it, best to go inside." Jin said turning to Yusuke, when Yusuke he started leading the way with every one else following behind him. I was left wondering to my self, as to what kind of place they would have. The five of them are all very different in taste, so it was hard to make an inference. The path we took was long and difficult to navigate in the darkening light. When we finally reached their home I was surprised at what I saw.

Well let's leave it at that for now. Sorry for the short chapter, but I have a bundle of homework so I only have time for a quick update.
