Aki- YES YOU TWO ARE SO FREAKING JEALOUS!

Shi- Aki, are you sure?

Kit- Is she ever sure?

Aki- HEY! JUST REMEMBER THIS IS MY CHAPTER AND I CAN DO WHAT I WANT IN IT! In other words, I could kill you off...

Kit and Shi- We'll shut up now.

Aki- Good. We don't own Yu Yu Hakusho.

Shi- Or Sesshomaru.

Kit- But she can dream.

Aki-...(twitch) Do you HAVE to rub it in?

Takara, Mizuki, and Aki were still running though the forest. Hule had stopped following them. All three girls were getting a strange feeling though.

"Okay! That's it!" Aki growled as she stopped running. Mizuki and Takara looked at Aki. "I'm not running any more! Something isn't right here." Aki added.

"Aki, we can't afford to get caught." Takara said.

"If we get caught, then we'll break our way out of there like we always have before! There's no way I'm just going to run like a dog with it's tail between it's legs." Aki added.

"Aki, you ARE a dog demon." Mizuki said.

"Does it look like I have a tail?" Aki asked as she turned around.

"At the moment? No." Mizuki answered, earning a glare from Aki.

"Go jump off a bridge why don't you?" Aki asked. Mizuki and Takara rolled their eyes.

"Well, I seen that you've stopped running. Good, it would have been a pain to track you three down." Hule said as he walked into the clearing where Aki, Mizuki, and Takara had stopped. All three girls looked at the bounty hunter. "Now, hand over the brat." he added.

"No way!" Takara and Mizuki growled at the same time. Aki rolled her eyes.

"Give the brat to me and I wont have to kill you." he added.

"HA! See! Look! He's threatening me! I'm not going to let him get away with that!" Aki growled at Takara and Mizuki.

"Aki! Stop!" Takara said.

"Fine.." Aki muttered, then she turned back to Hule with a smirk on her face. "Any idea who we are?" Aki asked.

"The Robbed Trio, I know. Any one else would have been intimidated by you three, but I'm not. I know that you survive because of pure, dumb luck." Aki's eyebrow twitched. Mizuki glared and Takara let out a little growl.

"Aki, you go with Takara and I'll kill this guy." Mizuki said as she stepped in front of Aki.

"Hey! Mizuki! I wanna kill him!" Aki pleaded.

"No. Aki go with Takara, if he beats me he's all yours." Mizuki added. Aki looked at Mizuki.

"Fine. C'mon, let's go." Aki added to Takara. Mizuki drew her katana and looked at Hule. "Shall we?" she asked.

"Sure. I need some practice." Hule said. Mizuki growled, then in one swift motion charged at Hule. Hule parried with his gun. They were like Aki's but hers were better made. This guy liked to do things half-assed unless he was pushed.

Mizuki took one hand off the hilt of her sword and tried to hit him with her claws, Mizuki managed to get his arm fairly good.

"You're not as weak as I thought." Hule said.

"There's a lot about us that you don't know." Mizuki said. She kicked Hule with her foot, right in the knee cap. Hule staggered a minute, Mizuki thought that she was going to be fine, then he drew another gun and aimed it at her, before her mind registered what was happening Aki kicked Hule in the head.

"Hey, D.A., you're supposed to move." Aki said with a little smile.

"Thanks Aki. Didn't I tell you to go with Takara?" Mizuki asked.

"When do I listen? I was watching from the shadows, Takara is at the temple now, Kurama's watching her." Aki added. Suddenly Aki felt a pain in her leg, she looked down, Hule's nails were digging into her leg.

"You have come to your death. You should have stayed away. Now you will die." Hule said, he yanked Aki's leg out from underneath her, before anything else happened, Aki put her hands on the ground, and kicked him in the chin. Then she flipped back to Mizuki, she was wincing.

"What's wrong?" Mizuki asked.

"I just tore open the wound." Aki answered.

"Go back, I can take him." Mizuki said.

"No, I'll be fine." Aki said. "Besides, it's not wise to corner me." Aki added.

"Don't." Mizuki warned. "I can't stop you when you're like that and you know it." Mizuki said.

"Stop talking. You're both going to die here." Hule said. He closed his eyes, suddenly a whole bunch of imps were all around them. They were the deadly kind.

"Any ideas?" Mizuki asked.

"Hack 'n' slash!" Aki answered, she pulled out a gun.

"How much ammo you got?" Mizuki asked.

"Enough." Aki answered, her gun was fully loaded, and she was aiming it at the bigger imps. Each time she pulled the trigger an imps head was blow off. Mizuki was slashing at the imps, the more they shot and slashed, the more imps appeared. "Don't tell me they're the kind that multiply the more you kill them!" Aki growled.

"They are. Aren't they wonderful. In just this many it's more than enough to kill you both. You should start to feel the effects, Aki." Hule said. Aki growled at him. He was right.

"Mizuki. I have to." Aki said.

"No! Aki, don't you dare! We can take them." Mizuki said.

"You might be able to. I've got a fever and the poisons from spilting them is getting into my wound." Aki explained. "It's the only way, once you've got a clear path, run like hell." Aki added.

"No! Aki! Don't. There's still something that we can do." Mizuki said as she put a hand on her friend shoulder.

"What?"

"I've been working on an attack, I just need something to protect me while I'm doing it." Mizuki said. "Can you put up a sheild?"

"Yes, I don't know how long I can hold it though." Aki answered. "You've got half an hour at the most." Aki added, Mizuki nodded and sat down on the ground after she sheathed her katana. A sheild formed around the two girls.

Mizuki shut her eyes and closed her mind to everything. Her consiciousness left her body, she was looking for Hule's mind. She found Aki's, she was frantic, Mizuki didn't think that Aki could feel fear, but then she found that she could. Aki's worst fear was death. Mizuki left Aki's mind and found Hule's.

Mizuki smirked a little. His defenses were pathetic, he obviously hadn't come across many phsycics. She looked for his powers in his mind. She knew that she didn't have a lot of time left, Aki was weak enough as it was, and this was making it even worse.

Suddenly she came to a tightly sheilded area in Hule's brain. 'This must be the power section.' Mizuki thought. She carefully made her way into it so that she didn't alert him and get his attention. Soon enough Mizuki was in his mind. Since she was new with this kind of assault, she knew that she was going to have to find the weakness in the attack and then take it out like that.

'Where is it?!' Mizuki's time was running out. She didn't have a lot of time. Time passed differently when in someone's mind than it did when out of it. Mizuki felt a sharp pain in her arm, her mind went back to her body and looked at her arm. An imp had bit into it. Mizuki looked to her left, Aki was kneeling down on the ground, one knee in the dirt, the other was what she was leaning on.

"Aki! Are you okay?" Mizuki asked.

"I'll be fine. Find anything useful?" Aki asked, Mizuki couldn't see her friends face.

"No, I didn't have enough time." Mizuki answered.

"Heh, sorry, I couldn't hold it any more, I held it for an hour before the sheild disippitated." Aki said.

"Why hasn't Sesshomaru or the others come?" Mizuki asked.

"Dun-." Aki began, suddenly Mizuki smelled blood, it was Aki's. "Damn it." Aki muttered, her hands has clenched so much that they began to bleed.

"What's wrong?"

"The curse, it's trying to surface. I've been keeping it under control since the sheild disippitated, but it's getting harder and harder. The blood lust is getting to me." Aki explained, for the first time Aki looked at Mizuki. Aki had the look in her eyes that said she wanted blood, and lots of it.

"I guess we have no other choice." Mizuki said.

"The first clear path you see, run. Don't try to do anything, just run." Aki explained.

"But are you sure YOU want to do this?" Mizuki asked.

"No, but I have no choice do I?" Aki asked. She stood up and her eyes lost their pupils. Her fangs and claws were getting longer. Soon her claws were a good four inches and her fangs were two inches. Aki was looking through the imps and to Hule.

Mizuki didn't like seeing her friend like this, but she had no choice, or else they'd die. Mizuki didn't make a sound, all she did was stand behind Aki and hope that Aki wouldn't notice her. Aki turned to her friend.

"Scared aren't you?" Aki asked, but it was a different voice. Mizuki's eyes widened. "Pathetic." Aki added. This voice was deeper than Aki's usual one. "Alright you third rate, dumb ass bounty hunter! Prepare your bowels to be spilled across the ground!" Aki said with the delight evident in her voice.

"You kill me! You've been stuck in this trap for over an hour and you still haven't figured out that this will be your last breath." Hule said.

"HA! You're the worst bounty hunter that I have seen! Enough! Time to die!" Aki said, she lunged through the imps and slashed Hule's stomach open with one swing of her dagger-sharp claws. "Heh, that was fun. Maybe we can do it again some time." Aki said, she was smiling from ear-to-ear.

"Aki! Snap out of it!" Mizuki yelled at her friend. Aki's features went back to normal and Aki fell down to her knees, she was gasping for breath. "What the heck was that?!" Mizuki asked.

"I don't know." Aki answered, then she fell to the ground, burrying her head in the dirt. Mizuki lifted Aki up and put Aki's arm around her shoulders, Mizuki was dwarfed by the 6 foot demoness. Slowly Mizuki made her way back to the temple.
