How Could I Forget You?
Disclaimer: You don't have to be psychics to know the answer to this one. I still do not own YYH or any of its characters. I do however own Sazumi, Talik, little Yuki, and Sazumi's father. So now you know.
A/n: Okay it's finally summer vacation. I know I didn't update really soon but that's because I was vacationing at my friends house in Texas and didn't have a computer. Now I'm at my Dad's though and can update quicker. Anyway here it is! The big battle scene! At least I hope it is. I'm not that good at writing battle scenes so if it sucks I'm really sorry. I hope it is adequate though. Well let's get started shall we? Enjoy chapter 12!
Chapter 12: White Flame Dragon
And with his outburst and all his explanations over, Talik launched from his perch and charged the Rekai Tantei. His face was twisted in anger and his spirit energy sparked with a murderous intent. All his thoughts focused on catching and killing his prey.
The group of heroes responded quickly and jumped into the battle. Kuwabara and Yusuke charged up their spirit weapons. Hiei readied his katana and Kurama pulled out his rose whip. Slowly, Sazumi's spirit blades appeared in each hand. And then it began.
Kuwabara was the first to charge back. His spirit sword in hand, Kuwabara met Talik's advance. Talik sneered at the tall teen boy, a scythe appearing in a shroud of smoke. Instantly the two blades met then clashed apart. Each other's force pushed them apart causing them to leap back.
Yusuke attacked after the two separated. Aiming his charged spirit gun at the youkai, Yusuke fired. Talik spun his scythe around until it became a blur and the spirit bullet was reflected into a nearby wall. A large explosion occurred at the impact.
Hiei was using his speed and running from crate to crate. He phased out of view for a second and reappeared to Talik's left. The koorime sliced is katana to the side, intent on cutting his enemy in half. Talik dodged and mimicked Hiei's motion with his scythe. Hiei dodged easily, flickering from view.
Kuwabara and Yusuke teamed up to charge Talik. Kuwabara attacked with his spirit sword while Yusuke let loose with powerful kicks and punches. Each attack and dodge so fast it was un-seeable by a regular human's eyes.
Hiei flittered next to Sazumi, still next to Kurama and not yet in the fray.
"He has speed," Kurama commented.
"Hn," Hiei growled.
"It's time to get this bastard," Sazumi said. "Are you up for it Kurama?" Sazumi was still worried about the kitsune's unhealed wounds.
"I am fully healed now. His speech gave my body time to recuperate." The white-haired girl nodded.
Hiei phased out and Kurama charged ahead to fight. Sazumi remained behind as the boys fought her enemy. Her mind was a blur. She had finally gotten her answers. But there were still unanswered questions in her head.
'What am I going to do after this is over?' she wondered. 'What's going to happen?'
'There's no time for this! I have to go and kill Talik or there won't be an after!' Sazumi mentally yelled at herself.
"TALIK!" she yelled. And then the young girl finally entered the battle.
Talik heard Sazumi's cry but ignored it as he was occupied with a koorime and a kitsune. Hiei's katana once again came down towards Talik's head. He dodged and swung widely with his scythe. He missed.
Kurama was next with his rose whip. It wrapped around the shaft of the scythe. Kurama pulled and Talik lost his balance. Hiei managed to slice into the evil youkai's right arm.
"Argh!' Talik cried out in pain. Then he pulled his scythe free, knocking Kurama back a few steps.
Before he was able to fully recover, Sazumi's blade came down hard into the opposite shoulder. She lodged it down deep, cutting the youkai's shoulder blade. He bit back another cry of pain.
"How do you like that?" Sazumi asked with venom as she released her lodged blade.
Talik's eyes shown with animosity. He swung his weapon at her in rage. Sazumi jumped out of the way easily.
"Not as much as I'll like slicing you in half!" he growled. The two jumped apart.
The battle continued on, each side getting in their own hits. No one didn't have at least one open wound or the beginning of a bruise forming. Spirit energy was draining from all the bodies in the room. The fighting was taking its toll.
The blue-eyed girl stood on a crate out of the middle of the fray. Yusuke was currently engaged in hand to hand with Talik. He landed a fist in the youkai's jaw and Talik went crashing into a wall, Yusuke on his tail. Sazumi was breathing heavily, each breath more ragged then its predecessor. Blood matted her hair from a gash she had gotten when she was thrown into a wall. A large cut crossed up her abdomen, the after effects of a too close encounter with the sharp blade of a scythe. Blood dripped from the wound and other smaller cuts. She scowled at the pain.
Sazumi was losing strength. Her spirit energy was almost tapped out. It had been used too much healing and fighting. The battle needed to end. She knew it and so did the others, also getting tired. Sazumi stood up straight.
"Now's the time," she whispered. She knew Talik was weakening too and if they held out long enough he was toast.
Sazumi started to unravel the makeshift bandage on her left arm. Inch by inch the white dragon mark appeared. When it was fully seen she dropped the bandage to the ground and lifted her arm straight up.
Energy crackled around the white-haired girl. White sparks leapt around her arm. Power coursed through her. Sazumi's ultimate weapon was begging to be released. She readily complied. Aiming her hand straight at Talik, Sazumi gathered all her energy into her left hand.
"Yusuke!" she yelled at the teen exchanging blows with the evil youkai. He looked up and realized her intentions. He pulled back quickly. "Ready you bastard!" Talik's eyes settled on the teen and widened instantly.
"WHITE FLAME DRAGON!"
White and blue energy poured from Sazumi's left hand. It became a large cylinder then formed a rough looking dragon of white and blue. The dragon let out a roar as it made its way from Sazumi's arm to Talik. Sazumi braced herself as she released the powerful attack. She could feel it sapping away all her energy. But she smiled in satisfaction as her enemy stood stunned. She knew he didn't have enough time to react. He was finished.
Talik felt the intense heat of the energy making its way towards him. He needed to do something quick or he was as good as dead. But he didn't have enough energy or enough time.
"Shit," he growled, bringing up his scythe that began to glow a bloody crimson.
As the dragon reached the unmoving youkai, Talik smirked. His scythe was fully above his head and surrounded by his energy. Sazumi's attack finally reached him. Talik brought the weapon straight down.
TBC…
A/n: I know that's really evil but I thought it was the perfect place to end it. A good cliffhanger is okay once in a while, right? I'll try and update soon though. I'm even going to start working on it after this. Among other things. I've finished the first chapter of my Naruto fic I just need to type it. I'm halfway down with the first chapter of my Getbackers fic and the second chapter of my Saiyuki fic. I'm also working on finishing the first chapter to my DBZ sequel fic. I've also been working on the next chapter for my other YYH fic. So look for those. I can't guarantee they'll all be out soon. But I'll work on it. Also aboutSazumi'sdragon, I know it's just like Hiei's and yes it's meant to be like that, if you don't like, tough! That's what I wanted. It is different though. It's actually more for healing than attacking. She just uses it when things get desperate.That's about it. Oh review please!
Be seeing you on the other side of the rain!
