Sorry I haven't updated in a while, guys. I really meant to. But on the plus side, I now have a working laptop of my own, so I should be updating very regularly from now on (if school doesn't keep me too busy.)
I don't own squat.
So... I'm at a loss for what else to say. Just enjoy and review!
"Try to remember that day..." the one called Kuronue said, swinging around the pendant he held in his hand. "That day... we snuck into the palace of the Demon World..."
"Which palace?" Kurama wondered briefly. There were many palaces in the Demon World... and he - as the Youko - had broken into almost all of them.
But then... then he knew what palace he was talking about. The palace they had snuck into on that fateful day...
He started reliving that day. He was Youko Kurama: beautiful, strong, and vain. He and Kuronue ran from the palace, angry (but relatively weak) guards following far behind them.
As they ran in slow motion through the sparsely populated bamboo forest, a bright yellow line pierced the chain of the pendant Kuronue wore around his neck. He reached for the pendant and missed. The pendant flew far back behind them.
Kuronue used a bamboo pole to change his direction by jumping on it and flinging himself back toward the pendant.
Kurama heard this and stopped. He turned around to look at his friend and called, "Don't! Kuronue!"
"I need it!" he answered, running back for it.
As Kuronue bent down and his fingers brushed the cool metal of his pendant, strange objects started falling from the sky. These objects magically turned into bamboo-spears, all of which magically descended onto Kuronue, magically stabbing him and trapping him in a bamboo-cage. He screamed in pain and terror.
"Kuronue!" Kurama screamed as lightning magically flashed and lit up the clearing where his best friend was now dying of mortal magical bamboo wounds.
"You... traitor," Kuronue hissed as his blood gushed from one of the bamboo-spears like water from a water fountain.
Back in the present day, Kurama gasped, his normally beautiful green eyes widening. (I say "normally beautiful" because right at this second they are not the correct shade of green - the beautiful shade.)
"You deliberately cut my pendant," Kuronue (or his ghost) continued, "in order to trap me. You sacrificed me so that you alone could escape." He sounded as though he might cry from the pain this fact caused him.
"No! No, that's not what happened..." Kurama proceeded to cover his face with his hand.
"How dare you say that to me after trying to kill me?"
"What are you talking about?" Now Kurama also sounded as though he might cry. "That day... I tried to save you!" He looked as though his head hurt, trying to remember what had happened. He almost started crying.
"You set a trap for me and then you left me to die!" Kuronue screamed. "While you saved yourself." He sounded disgusted.
Kurama broke down and started sobbing.
"Pay for what you did... in hell!" He threw his weapon at the redhead, a scythe, piercing his left side.
Kurama twisted to get out of the way, but he felt the metal pierce his skin, and he fell to the ground, landing on his good side, his right side. Tears still flowed from his eyes. He struggled to raise himself a little, so he could look Kuronue in the face.
Kuronue was standing above him, clearly about to stab Kurama. Kurama drew his breath, waiting for pain - and for death - when Kuronue cut the Elemental Site instead. The stone dragon fell into pieces and the Empire Energy exploded in a tornado like all the other Sites before this.
The ghost stood next to the vortex. "Goodbye... old partner," he said as he vanished into thin air.
Kurama was on his knees, now. "Where have you gone?" the redhead cried out. "Kuronue!" He reached out toward where he had been, but the pain in his side was too great, and he fell forward, clutching his right side, and began to cry.

Meanwhile, Kuwahara Skywalker was still fighting Darth Majari. Kuwabara glanced up as giant purple lights appeared in the sky - the other Elemental Sites.
"It would appear that we have opened the other Sites," Majari pointed out.
"Uhh..." Kuwahara said stupidly. "No way!" Then he looked up to see Majari above him, about to come down for the kill. He barely moved out of the way and staggered backwards. They continued their fight.
Hinageshi and Yusuke ran around the corner then. "Kuwahara!" Yusuke screamed, ready to run in and join the fight.
"Wait! Look at his weapon!" Hinageshi screamed, pointing. Yusuke followed her finger to the fight. Kuwahara's opponent had...
"He has a Light-saber, too?"
