Well, with the overwhelming response of... one review for the last chapter, I thought I'd update again and prove to you all that I really haven't died!
I own nothing. Nothing...
Yeah. Cliffhanger. Sorta. Yeah.
I'm bored...
No one cares. Stop listening to me ramble, just go on and read the fic.... No one reads these anway... even though they're in bold...
"That demon has the ability to mirror the techniques and powers of opponents, and use them against him!" Hinageshi stated. "One of the three despised Demon Gods of the Empire... Majari." She didn't even have to look that one up in her little book, The History of the Spirit World: The Legend of Yodakumo and the Empire.
"What?" the Detective screamed, appalled. "That's just a really cheap rip-off of Rando!"
"Who?"
"You know... Rando. That guy I fought in season one, in the finals of Genkai's Disciple Tournament." Hinageshi gave him a blank look. "Never mind."
"Uh, anyway... You can't help him, Yusuke! If you try, Majari will copy your techniques, too, and Kuwahara will be doomed!"
Soon, Kuwahara looked beaten. He had his Light-saber knocked away, and he was on the ground.
"Now," Majari said with a smile, "we finish this. Kuwahara... I... am your mother."
Kurama had apparently finished his crying, as now he was here at the Elemental Site of the Heart. He was again clutching his right side. He gasped, seeing the predicament the other redhead was in. "Kuwahara!"
Majari turned slightly toward the sound of Kurama's voice, making suggestive noises as she looked him over.
"Stop joking around!" This came from Kuwahara. "Even if this is the end, we'll never let you have it... Take this!" He sent his energy through the ground, and it came up at Majari some ten feet away. This was not unlike Elder Toguro of the Dark Tournament's technique... Kuwahara appeared to be learning things after all.
Majari jumped to avoid the blast and landed farther away, breathing heavily and clutching her arm. "Well, well... not bad, though I will not be defeated, either. You don't have any more tricks, and I won't be careless again."
Kuwahara stood up. "You fool! I just developed... a new killing technique," he said with a laugh. He started focusing all of his energy into one giant Light-saber.
Majari looked impressed, though Yusuke, Kurama, and Hinagehi were shocked. "Impressive. Releasing your entire store of energy at once... Thank you for showing me how!" The demon followed Kuwabara's example, and began releasing all the energy that she had left.
They blasted the energy at each other. Yusuke and Hinageshi ran closer to Kurama. They waited as the dust cleared.
Majari was still standing, but as of yet, Kuwahara was nowhere in sight. "Pitiful creature..."
But then Kuwahara stood up, laughing. "I caught you."
"He's totally crazy! This isn't POKeMON," Yusuke muttered.
"Majari... now you are all out of energy, too!"
The demon struggled to make a Light-saber appear in her hand. It was hopeless. She was all out of energy. "What? No..."
"Give it up; it's done!" Kuwahara screamed, running toward her. He then proceeded to punch Majari right in the face.
She flew back. "You..." she spat.
"There's something I'm proud of, too," the redheaded human said with a chuckle. "In a true contest of guts..." He started running toward Majari again, now moving his arm in such a way he appeared to be trying to mimic Jin's Tornado Fist. "I have... never been... beaten!" he finished as Majari began to scream. He hit her and sent her flying.
She disappeared with a twinkle, and Yusuke screamed, "Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!"
Everyone gave him a look that quite clearly said "Yusuke... shut up".
"I win," Kuwahara managed after a quick chuckle. He sat down, and then fell on his back. "That's it."
"Kuwahara!" Yusuke yelled as Kurama and Hinageshi gasped. They ran over to him. He was breathing heavily. "Hey, Kuwahara! I never knew you had it in you. I never thought you'd be able to punch a girl."
"That... was not... a girl," he said between breaths.
"Majari was so a girl!" Yusuke argued. "'I am your mother?' And didn't you see how she looked at Kurama?"
"Yusuke..." Kurama interrupted softly. "Guys look at me like that, too, on occasion..."
"Hurry... and... unseal... it... Don't let them... summon... Captain... Planet..." Kuwahara said, ignoring Yusuke, pointing toward the Elemental Site of the Heart. Then he became unconscious.
Hinageshi, Kurama, and Yusuke started running over toward it.
"So, why are they called the Demon Gods if Majari's a girl?" the Detective asked.
"We never knew that Majari was a girl," Hinageshi answered. "Until today."
Soon, quick-moving footsetps could be heard behind them. "Watch out!" a voice screamed. "Jump, Yusuke!"
Yusuke did as instructed, and missed being shot by a powerful blast of Empire energy. Hinageshi was pushed to the ground by a black-wearing figure in order to avoid it.
"Hiei!" Kurama yelled as the Empire energy hit the Elemental Site and blew up.
