Hey! I want to take this time to thank everyone who's been reviewing my story. It's been very motivational and my muse thanks you for saving her sorry ass from getting whipped. Also, thanks to everyone who's read this and didn't leave a review (don't worry, and *don't* feel obligated, though it is like Christmas when I do get them ^-^) Anyway, you punks rock! Thanks again! Now let the chaos ensue...
***************************************
The sound of Hakkai's footsteps towards Gojyo were drowned out by the roar of the sky falling around them. The demon looked upon the red-head with eyes hungry for the sight of blood and claws ready for the tearing of flesh. As the moments passed it seemed that the more it rained, the more it looked as if the two once inseparable man forgot each other as anything more than a punching bag.
A streak of lightening flashed across the sky, lighting up the forest and Hakkai's new form to Gojyo. The kappa stood with his arms crossed, and studied the new demonic features while he waited patiently as Hakkai slowly approached. He noted a slight twitch in Hakkai's clawed fingers, a sign that without a doubt, Hakkai wanted to start something as eagerly as he did.
Hakkai stopped as another flash of lightning lit the black clouds above. "I have to warn you half-breed, that you may not leave this forest with your innards still inside you."
"We'll see what happens." With a smirk, Gojyo disappeared and reappeared behind a slightly hunched Hakkai with his shakujou in hand and ready to strike.
Effortlessly, Hakkai caught the crescent blade between his thumb and index finger on the down strike. With a light, haunting laugh, Hakkai looked down. "You have to be kidding me." Including that, the demon forced Gojyo over his shoulder and threw him a good ten yards into the shadows.
Gojyo flipped his body and easily landed with cat-like agility as his claws dug into the moist earth to keep him from skidding. "Ch." Gojyo grumbled at how his opponent was treating him like the annoying mosquitoes that hovered around them. "I'll give you something to kid about, bastard." Gojyo let the blade of his weapon fly towards Hakkai, who easily dodged it and grinned at the thought of how amateur the attack was.
However, Gojyo had some tricks up his sleeve. As the blade passed Hakkai's head, Gojyo disappeared one again only to reappear behind his victim to catch the blade and wrap it twice around his neck. The raindrops that were three feet above the ground at the start of his attack finally hit the ground as Gojyo held Hakkai by the throat with the chain.
Hakkai winced as the chains pinched the sensitive skin of his neck. He didn't struggles for long though as he raised a free hand that lingered over Gojyo's leg. His claws glinted in the radiance of another flash of lightning as he brought them down, deep into Gojyo's thigh. Hakkai grinned as he heard Gojyo cry into his ear and the chains fall from his neck as he gave his claws a little twist deeper into muscle. He loved the warmth of the blood that bubbled up against his fingers and the caress of twitching muscle.
Gojyo pulled his leg back as the claws released him and he slammed an elbow into the back of Hakkai's head.
Both demons stumbled away from each other, enveloping themselves in the shadows that dominated the area. But it was Hakkai that casually gave up his hiding spot as he allowed an increasing chi ball to be born from the darkness. The little green ball of light lit up half of the menacing face of its creator. "I will become your grim reaper..."

Nii was in hysterics as he watched the beautiful carnage that presented itself on the monitor in front of him. He knew from the beginning his plan would work, but he never suspected it to be this amusing.
Dr. Huang had her back to Nii, so utterly sick of the smug grin he held on his face now even more than ever.
"Really Doctor Huang, you have to see this!" Nii mused as he watched the red-head get pummeled to the ground.
"I feel that if you've seen one death, you've seen them all. I'm not interested." Dr. Huang looked back down to her work, trying to occupy her mind with something other than the subtle insults Nii hurled at her.
"Oh come now, stop being so jealous that you didn't think of such a genius plan first and enjoy this! But if you're thinking about what I assume your thinking about, don't worry, I'm sure Lady Koushu will still want to see you occasionally. That is, when she isn't busy with me."
"Ugh! You wretch!!"
"Sticks and stones, la la la..." Nii trailed off as he relaxed back into his favorite chair, grabbed his favorite mug, and continued to watch his favorite program. "Ah, that looked like it hurt."
* * *
Gojyo and Hakkai were breathing hard as they stared at each other from across the destroyed clearing. Each demon ignored the pounding wounds they both collected as they glared at each other, trying to anticipate their opponent's next move.
"You're looking pretty spent." Gojyo gasped out.
"You're to talk. To me, you're nothing but a plaything."
Gojyo growled, "You son of a ---"
"Bitch?" Hakkai mused as he appeared behind the crossbreed and glanced over the beautifully vulnerable artery in Gojyo's neck.
"Heh," Gojyo grinned as he spun around and elbowed Hakkai in the nose.
Hakkai's head snapped back as he happily took the blow. Another sinister laugh echoed in his throat as he lifter his head back to look at Gojyo. His unfeeling, green eyes burned into the crimson set opposite him as he wiped away the blood from his nose with his thumb. "Bye now..." At an impossible speed, Hakkai grabbed both of Gojyo's wrists with one hand and forcefully grabbed his forehead with the other. With a twist of his body, Hakkai lifted Gojyo from the ground and launched him towards a large oak in front of them. As soon as Gojyo left Hakkai's clutch, the green-eyed demon followed up from behind to quickly finish him off, his razor sharp claws more than ready to penetrate the jugular.
The act caught Gojyo by surprise, but as he flew at the tree, he managed to twist himself around to rebound off the trunk. As his feet hit the bark, he absorbed the shock into his legs and when he was in a vertical crouch, he launched himself from the tree and slammed his shoulder into Hakkai's chest.
Both men fell back to the forest's floor and Hakkai grunted as his head shattered a large rock when his body hit the ground. He lay in a daze, staring up into the heavens with his vision blurred around the edges as Gojyo loomed over him.
Gojyo slashed at Hakkai's chest, his claws easily ripping away the thin fabric and revealing bare flesh underneath. "Beautiful..." He brushed the shredded cloth away and stared at the vulnerable target in front of him as Hakkai groaned and a small pool of blood formed under his skull. Slowly, he brought a claw to Hakkai's collarbone and traced a bloody trail over the vines that decorated the fazed youkai's chest. As the vines snaked lower, the pressure of Gojyo's nail increased, leaving a deeper trench in Hakkai's pale skin.
A hand was at Gojyo's throat in an instant as the bloody trail stopped just above the belt line. Hakkai's violent, green eyes bore into Gojyo's mind as the youkai whispered just barely audible over the rain. "You're not worthy of any more."
The kappa instinctively grabbed Hakkai's throat and began to squeeze just as hard until both demons were only a few moments from choking the life from one another.
Just then, the breeze carried a low, menacing chuckle from the boughs of the tree the demons fought beneath. Catching the sound on the wind, they looked up and slightly released their grip on each other as their attention was directed to two fiercely glowing golden eyes staring down on them. Lightning broke through the sky and revealed the deadly smile of Son Goku perched on the branch above.
