I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho.
Don't forget, I put projected dates up on my profile!
Kuwabara would be my first target. He was sluggish, oafish, and impossibly half-witted. Hiei was a prime threat, one which had already been taken care of. My greatest worries were Kurama and Yusuke. Kuwabara, on the other hand, would be simple to finish off.
Using my Spirit Energy, I called to the water within the fountain. Although my eyes were closed, I could sense the tremendous wave building from behind me. I imagined the water slowly rising, wide as a river. Then, I molded it into a long beam, quite excellent for what I required it. The beam rose in height and in power, and I could hardly contain myself from dropping it upon my three remaining opponents. No, this effortless attack could be put to a much better use, eliminating one pestilence.
Snapping my eyes open, I eyed Kuwabara.
He just sat there, a dumb look on his face, not even preparing for a retaliation, as Kurama and Yusuke were doing. He really deserved this worthless attack.
Not breaking my concentration, I allowed my vision to flicker to Yusuke. He eyed me wearily, a hand over his wrist, fingers twitching anxiously.
Switching to Kurama- he had a tight grasp over his rose whip, knowing full well he was going to need it.
Kuwabara looked at me, a ridiculously uncalled for smile plastered to his face.
He took a step toward me.
"Come on, Amaya. We all know you kicked the crap out of Hiei because he's annoying. And the whole mind control thing was a nice cover. Come on, lets go back to Yusuke's, and don't worry, I won't say a thing."
He grabbed my wrist, attempting to pull me along.
I snatched it away, enraged that this insolent fool dared to touch me.
Ready or not, now was the opportune time for an attack.
I focused on him with a blazing intensity, bending the water to my will to crash into him. In a long drop, the water washed over his head to his toes, trapping him inside of a fluid cage. He could not move from it, the strength of the water trapping him inside. He began to kick and punch wildly as water continued to pour from over head. When the beam was nearing its end, I commanded the water to move in reverse.
"Yes...drown him..." My master's voice rang in my head.
Kuwabara was weakening with every second, his oxygen reserves running dangerously low. He put a hand around his throat, as if that would allow him to breathe better.
A smile twitched at the corner of my lips as I saw him swaying from side to side. Finally, he collapsed. This was just in time, as Kurama began to charge me.
Using the water with which I attacked Kuwabara, I willed it to change targets. Kurama was now a primary threat, and no more time could be wasted on that idiot. Even if he was merely unconscious, he would be out of the way, unable to oaf up my plans. I would finish him later, after Kurama and Yusuke were subdued.... As of right now, he was not any concern of mine.
Kurama moved quickly, wildly attempting to dodge the water. He weaved in and out of the waves of my blow, snapping his whip every once in a while. Fortunately, I was too quick for his overly hasty attacks. There were very easily dodged.... It was startling really. I expected him to have a bit more tact than that.
No matter, whatever worked in my favor.
We went on in this way for a while, Yusuke dancing around us, urging me to stop, to give in. He threatened me, informing me that I would be shown no mercy. What did I care? Master was invincible. If I was unable to finish off these fools, he certainly would. Yet his voice was very aggravating, and I wanted so much to shut him up. There was no way I'd be able to wipe out the two of them at once. My only option was to finish Kurama as quickly as possible. The tunnel of water split into two parts, separating and moving toward the red-haired kitsune from different angles. Kurama darted frontwards, then backwards, trying to escape the impending mini-typhoon.
This only aggravated my attack more. Each tunnel split in half again, completely surrounding him. Before he had a chance to react and jump upwards, the water came crashing down. The force of my blow knocked his legs out from under him, and I silently rejoiced in my apparent victory when, all of a sudden, a hideous pain erupted upon my back, paralyzing me.
With every force in my body, I tried to fight back. I tried to move, to even speak. It was to no avail, I was completely paralyzed, and with every attempt to free myself, I found myself getting weaker and weaker until standing had become a chore. My body fell over and, upon hitting the ground, Yusuke rushed over and placed a foot upon my torso, keeping me down.
He shouted something to Kurama, something I couldn't quite make out. He removed his foot quickly, only so that it could be replaced by Kurama's body. With his right hand he pulled my arms up over my head, holding them in place, should my power to move be restored within me. His left hand retreated quickly into his pocket, then reappeared in front of my face, holding a small, brown object.
Two more hands joined him, and my mouth was being pried open. I tried desperately to clamp it shut, but it was to no avail. Yusuke hooked his fingers behind my teeth and widened my mouth for Kurama, who was deftly placing the object in the back of my throat.
My mouth was slammed shut, both Yusuke's hands pressing down on my mouth.
Kurama began to rub my throat, forcing the object down my esophagus.
Then, the pressure they placed upon my body was gone.
They merely stood above me as the edges of the world around me began to darken. I could feel my eyelids getting heavy, and tried to resist the sleep that was washing over me.
I found that I could move again, only slightly. I used all my strength just to hold my eyelids open. Yet, the power of the object I had ingested, it seemed, was inevitable. My newfound mobility only bought me a few more seconds before my eyes shut, and I spiraled rapidly into the darkness.
"All in due time, Amaya. All in due time..." Master's voice crooning sweet comforts to me was the last thing I heard...
:D
don't forget to review! it keeps me sane!
