Kurama woke up the next day, their second match taking place later on. He couldn't feel San's energy, which meant that she had been out hunting all night for this dying human. At this rate she'd be lucky to find him alive, if she found him at all. He truly was amazed that she was able to sniff him out, all he could smell was rotting flesh everywhere, and humans when they were near. He was still curious about her mate, and it was a variable he didn't understand. He decided to try and look for her before the match, they would need her healing abilities. He stopped by her room, just to make sure she wasn't there before going on a wild goose chase. She wasn't, so he proceeded to the place where they parted ways. He kept in mind that she might still be in her wolf form, so it would be hard to track her. She also had no scent in that form, so it would be hard to find her in the first place, but he was sure he'd be able to track her. He left his post, heading in the direction he remembered her going. He began his hunt for her, looking intently for wolf tracks. He was having no such luck, but Hiei was in the area, so he turned towards the fire demon, maybe he had seen her. It didn't take long to find him, he was on his way to the arena, their next fight beginning soon. There he was, walking on the ground, nursing his right arm. He dropped to his knees, Kurama observing him from his perch on the tree above.
"Is this wise Hiei?" the red haired demon asked.
"What do you mean?" Hiei spat back at him.
"It won't easy to keep winning without the use of your dominant hand. Perhaps you should withdraw."
"Hn. You heard what Toguro said, we don't have a choice," and then they felt two demons approaching them, "If we don't make it thru this tournament, he'll kill us all. Fighting is the only way out," the two demons stopped just as Hiei finished his sentence. They stared, Kurama recognizing them from the fight yesterday. They were supposed to be fighting them today, but it seemed the master had other plans instead.
"Seems the Dr.'s team has gotten lost."
"Yes, and what a horrible coincidence for us both."
"I admit my original intention of finding you was to know if you had seen San anywhere, or if you could locate her."
"Figures. Now is not the time fox," replied Hiei, pulling out his sword. Kurama noted it was his left hand, as he to pulled out his rose whip. One of the demons started to run at them, hoping for an attack, but the they were ready. They took him down easily, his head and right arm dropping from the rest of his body.
"What the hell?" the other apparition questioned, not believing what he saw.
"Hn. And that was using my left arm Kurama," stated Hiei.
"I'm sorry I used my right. Next time I'll use my left to be fair," replied Kurama, as they both turned to the remaining youki.
"Would you like to try us next?" but the demon just started laughing at them.
"Thanks but I'd rather not. Death gives me the shivers," he answered, pulling out a button. He clicked it without effort and out came a mechanical beast looking thing. It stood beside the enemy, waiting for instructions it looked like, "Gatasvil is what we like to call him. One of the doctor's earlier projects. Part demon, mostly machine with no feelings, no pain, and no fear. Go Gatasvil! Destroy those two low lifes!"
Gatasvil started towards Hiei and Kurama. It sent arms out to attack them, but they dodged, trying to get away. The robotic arms followed them, in attempt to complete the attack. Kurama was too fast for it, though it was still chasing him. No matter where he went it seemed to follow. Hiei was more swift, but his sword didn't even leave a scratch on it. The foe explained the metal flowing thru it, and how it couldn't be penetrated. Hiei lunged at the demon, but the robot had other plans. It narrowly missed Hiei while he dodged it, but he landed on his right arm, and then the robot struck. Kurama was still having trouble, but came up with a plan quickly to free his companion. He led the other arm into itself, freeing Hiei from the tree. Both arms crashed into Kurama, emitting smoke. His fate was unkonwn.
The demon began to laugh as Hiei stared in horror, "Excellent! Now kill the other one!" he commanded. Gatasvil just stood there, not moving.
"You were wrong on two accounts," came Kurama's voice. The smoke cleared and he was standing there, rose whip in hand. The beast was penetrated, "Even the hardest substance can be broken when crashed into itself, and the ability to feel pain is not a weakness, it's a strength. Pain tells a creature its vulnerabilities, and not to expose them to attack. Your robot is dead," explained Kurama, as Hiei walked up to the other demon. The enemy started to back off, fear taking its course in him, "And so I'm afraid, are you."
...
Wherever this guy was hidden, it was kept well. On barely a scent, San had searched all night, hunting when she was hungry. She couldn't find this human, but she knew that she had to, there was no other choice. He was dying, she could feel him, his life energy fading away. There was no way to follow him on that, so she had to rely purely on the faint stink of him. The island was bigger than she had first thought, and she had to steer away from the coast, the smell of the salt water over powering the humans. There was something fishy about why he would be hidden here, and why he was left to die. If this was the work of a normal demon, the human would already be devoured, and that's what intrigued her to find him, the fact that he was barely left alive. She didn't blame other demons for not knowing his whereabouts, since it was hard for her to keep his scent in focus. It wasn't nearly as strong as yesterday, but it was still there, and that was something. There were many caves in this area, and she couldn't count how many she had been to. The only good thing about this, she hadn't hunted something to difficult in a long time, and she shuddered in pleasure just thinking about finding her prize. Her ears perked up as she heard a wail in the distance. She followed it, wondering if it could possibly be him. It was him, the one she had been hunting for. He was gravely injured, and very sick.
"Please..." he whimpered, as San walked up to him, "Please wolf, don't hurt me, find my students..." San reverted to her human form.
"Sorry, forgot I was still a wolf. I've been looking for you," she said, examining him.
"Who.. are you?"
"Name's San, and right about now, I'm your saviour."
"Forget about me, please, find my students, and save them."
"Trust me, they'll be happier with you alive, now be still," she instructed, pulling out some of her herbs and mixing up a concoction. She used her energy to heat it, and then applied it to the wounds. He grunted in pain, "I'm sorry, but you'll feel better soon, I promise."
"Thank you... Who sent you?"
"No one, I picked up your sent in the afternoon yesterday and I've been hunting you down ever since. Who did this to you?"
"The doctor. He gave me a sickness and then took three of my students away for some experiment."
"Experiment?" questioned San, "Drink this first, and then explain."
The sensei did as he was told. He made a face, but was smart enough to drink the rest under her gaze, "I don't know exactly what it is, but it turns them into mindless zombies and forces them to fight. They only agreed to this to try and save me, but the doctor had no intention of healing me, and once he had my students there was no need, they'd never know about it."
"That's barbaric, even for a demon!"
"I think I'm starting to feel better."
"No, the pain is starting to numb, but you will feel better soon. You'll still be very weak, but you'll live, and that's good enough for me."
"I can't thank you enough. You must be an angel."
San laughed out loud, "Demon actually, but we're not all so bad. I've been living amongst you humans and even in my own world I didn't mind humans. I mean, you're all fucked up and stupid, but entertaining nonetheless. Now let's get to the stadium, maybe you being there will be able help your students find their hearts again," she told him, grabbing him by the arm. She carefully lifted him up and headed towards the light at the end of the tunnel. How cliche. She caught a whiff of two demons she definitely didn't expect to see.
...
"Wait. Do you smell that?" asked Kurama, as they came towards the cave the sensei was hidden.
"Yes. It seems San was already one step ahead of us," replied Hiei.
"She left yesterday to track down a human, she knew that something wasn't right. She may have foresaw this in one of her visions."
"Hn. Visions, suspiciously like your mate am I right?"
"Please Hiei, Moriko is dead and San is still here. She can't be my mate, she's here searching for hers."
"Looks can be decieving."
Kurama looked at Hiei in alarm. What was that supposed to mean? He must know something, why else would he say something like that? Kurama didn't have time to muse on it, San was walking out of the cave and towards them, the injured sensei with her. He was able to walk, but depended solely on San for balance. Kurama knew that she had already healed his wounds, or else she wouldn't have bothered to bring him with her. She stopped when she spotted them, giving them a relieved smile. They walked up to her, Kurama offering to help, but she knew better. She set him down gently.
"Can you hold on?" she questioned.
"I think I can manage that," he responded, his voice not as raspy as before. San took that to be a good sign.
"I found him in the cave, he told me why he was there-"
"We know. One of the doctor's demons was kind enough to tell us before we killed him," said Hiei.
"Okay. Listen, I'm going to change back into a wolf, you'll need to hold on, because the three of us are going to run at very high speeds," she explained he nodded. She changed into her wolf form, and Kurama helped the man onto her back.
"We'll need to stop somewhere first, and then we'll head to the stadium. Stay behind the mechanical beast until we're ready for you," Kurama instructed. San nodded, and then they took off.
...
"She's gorgeous..." said Botan dreamily, seeing the masked fighter for the first time. Her mask was knocked away after she faced off with the human warriors, trying to save Yusuke and Kuwabara.
"Well people, I'm shocked, this fight couldn't get any weirder!" announced Koto. She was wrong, one of the missing fighters from the doctor's team had flown into the stadium, across the ring and into the wall of the seats. Not too long after the robot came crashing down as well, San keeping the now passed out sensei behind him, away from the demons. Hiei and Kurama dropped down and landed on the robot, Gatasvil, and San joined them on his head seconds after. She observed the fight, seeing the students that the sensei was talking about. She felt sorry for them, crying out for help and not being able to find it. She also saw Genkai's mask was torn open, and she had reverted to her younger self. That was no surprise, but she didn't understand why Yusuke and Kuwabara were so beat up. She knew Kuwabara had his pride, but really? The crowd was in shock and Koto began talking, "The missing members of the Urameshi team have appeared as well. Hiei and Kurama, can you tell us where you've been?" what was she? Chopped liver? Idiot. But she remembered that she was still in her wolf form, and only her teammates knew of her shape changing ability.
"Sorry, a thirty foot killing machine wanted a word with us," said Hiei.
"M5 told us everything. I'm relieved your three are still alive. Those veruki on the humans fighters backs are the source of Dr. Ichigaki's mind control. And in their present state I'm afraid it would be fatal to remove them. The three are completely innocent, they didn't know the implants would control them. They were told it was blood research," explained Kurama.
"I told you guys, that no good liar!" exclaimed Kuwabara.
"And that's not the extent of it I'm afraid," continued Kurama, "Seems the doctor caused their masters illness in the first place!" San narrowed her eyes at the laughing doctor. She growled, it being more effective as a wolf than as a human.
-I want to rip his head off!- she declared in the minds of Hiei and Kurama.
-Patience- Kurama told her, Hiei being unresponsive. The doctor continued to laugh.
"Your unscientific minds are so trivial. Fully blind to the larger picture! So maybe I did infect Metamura, maybe I lied to get their bodies and maybe I enjoyed it. Who cares? Behind every lab discovery are a few poison rats!" the doctor explained. San growled more, resisting the urch to decapitate him. She had to wait for the other first, before she made her move.
"Shut it Ichigaki, you're full of crap and you know it. You don't care abut this science stuff, you're just trying to win the tournament!" Kuwabara yelled at the youki.
-Let me rip that ugly head off its hinges. I want to feel his death between my jaws!-
-Please San, wait- Kurama urged her.
-Listen to the fox, he might actually save your life- Hiei threw in. The doctor taunted Yusuke and Kuwabara, getting the desired effect on them. They were angry, and Genkai tried to warn them, but they didn't care, they ran at him. The students stood in their way, having no choice but to defend the asshole. San growled more, her patience wearing thin. Yusuke and Kuwabara were thrown back into the ring.
"Now!" said Hiei, and the three demons ran towards the arena. Koto stood in their way.
"I'm sorry guys but they've already agreed for a three on three fight. Step in the ring now and your whole team forefits," she explained, stopping them dead in their tracks.
"You're a heartless mess, you know that?" said Botan, angry at everything she had heard. The doctor's laughed.
"Please, don't blame her, I'm the one that got your apeish friends to accept those terms," he said from his post.
"Naturally," growled Kurama. San looked at him, having never seen this side of him before. He was truly pissed off, and she didn't think she particularly cared for that. The doctor's laugh was really starting to pierce her ears, making her angry. She had no choice to but to stand there, as Yusuke and Kuwabara were facing off the other three humans. They were calling out, trying to get a message to them. The twisted demon explained how his control worked, why they continued to fight. How good it would feel to rip his ugly head off. Once this fight was over, she was going to do so, confident in her abilities. The opposing team started to run at Yusuke and Kuwabara. Yusuke ran, but Kuwabara stood his ground. San knew what he was up to, but thought it was foolish. He took their attacks. He went on about responsibility as a man.
"What is he talking about?" asked Hiei.
"This is not wise!"
Kuwabara contiued to talk, but San was more focused on their attacks. Yusuke stood with Genkai, wanting to help the idiot, but Kuwabara told him to stay back. He tried to talk to sense to them, but their blows were too much, and they simply wouldn't listen. They started to charge for a triple attack, and San was amazed that he stood there. He was lucky to survive, but he would be weak for the rest of the match, unable to fight. San turned her attention back to ring, trying to figure out how to by pass these innocents and rip the doctor limb from limb. Yusuke was pissed, that much was clear. The team started crying, tears of blood, begging that Yusuke kill them. Genkai announced that the team had missed Kuwabara's vitals, the true selves being awake, but not in control. San tried to penetrate their mind but whimpered at the force keeping her out.
"San!" said Kurama going to her aid as she was basically struck down, "Are you alright?"
-Just thought I could reach into their minds to help-
"Please, be patient, you will get your chance," Kurama assured her as she got back on her paws. They turned their attention back to the ring, feeling Yusuke charging up. He seemed to do that when he was mad, but he needed to learn control of that. It was no good going into battle full of rage. Yusuke was taking them on by himself, finally being able to sense the energy attack, or so San assumed. She got up and walked with Hiei and Kurama towards the doctor, who was calculating the odds of him winning this match. His chances must have been high before, because he was terribly upset when it read 52%.
"Percentages are for poker fool," said Hiei, Kurama and San at his side.
"You can factor strengths and stamina doctor, I'll give you that. But determining true heart of a person is quite a different game," Kurama threw in.
He growled, "Buzz off! I'm must have punched the wrong number. Destroy them!" he declared. Yusuke was powering up for his spirit gun, and it would kill anythign it hit with the power he was emitting. San didn't know he could reach a strength like this, it never came up during his training, but it seemed when his emotions ran away with him, he became more powerful.
"It'd be better if I could kill you Ichigaki!" Yusuke yelled at him, still powering his spirit gun. That, was reserved for San. He was just about to fire when Genkai stopped him. They fell to the ground and Genkai pulled a stance San did not expect to see. Genkai was going to heal them, using a variation of her spirit wave. San would smile if she could, but didn't given her current state. The doctor started to laugh again, knowing that they couldn't kill the humans. San growled, knowing that he wasn't going to win, he was going to die by her fangs. Genkai started the chant for the spirit wave. San had never seen her use the signature move before, and was happy she was here to witness such a thing. The fighters got ready to attack her, but San knew that Genkai was too good for that. Genkai finished her attack, the fighters falling to the ground, the contraptions on their backs destroyed.
"There's nothing left of them," stated Hiei.
"Yes, an immense attack," said Kurama. The doctor was not smiling anymore. He couldn't believe what had just happened. This probably didn't show up in his calculations. She snarled, getting ready for the kill. Koto began her count, but San knew that they wouldn't get up again. She landed on ten and then declared the Urameshi team the winner. Yusuke walked up the doctor, but he had nowhere to run.
"Don't embarass yourself," Hiei told him.
"Acknowledge your cruelty and your punishment will be swift," Kurama added. San was standing beside him, bearing her fangs to the youki. It seemed he was afraid of her most of all, and she was going to enjoy killing him.
"Hold on, what if I told you that the master Metamura was still alive. But I am the only person in the world that knows where he's hidden and how to revert his disease!" the doctor pleaded.
"Sorry, lude point," said Kurama, pointing to the senei that had awakened and was using the stadium wall to walk to where they were. The doctor gasped.
"You... evil man," said the master. The doctor took a step back, not expecting to see him alive and moving.
"What? But how did he get here?"
"Your assistant was in the mood to talk. His memory improved after we beat him. We only had to walk two miles to find him, and our wolf friend here had already cured him. She's been dying to sink her fangs into your flesh since she got here, why should we deny her the pleasure?" explained Hiei. The doctor continued to step back, San was ready to lunge at him.
"I acquired a few poisionous herbs as well on this island. I intended to let you try them, but I'm afraid San would be angry with me if I did not let her get a taste of you first," said Kurama. Yusuke laughed, and then the doctor pulled out a syringe, getting ready to inject himself with this mysterious fluid. He laughed, thinking that he was going to win.
"Your pathetic little minds. Do you really think I would experiment with body manipulation and not save a little for myself?" he said, injecting the fluid into his hand. They watched as he turned into a giant demon. But that didn't scare San. He laughed, getting ready to attack Yusuke, but San would have none of that. She jumped, looking like she disappeared from her spot as the doctor stretched his arm at Yusuke and then the two demons. He was walking towards where the three of them had dodged, still attacking them. San appeared, still a wolf beside Yusuke, who's arm was knicked. Yusuke stood, asking Hiei to leave the demon to him, but San reverted to her human form.
"Don't bother, he's already dead," she told him. And they watched as the doctor's neck started to bleed and then break in half, falling to the ground. Yusuke grunted and kicked it clean out of the stadium. The crowd was impressed, Koto explaining what happened. The doctor was dead, and San was happy that it was by her fangs. Kurama helped Metamura, seing as he was still too weak to support himself. He would get better though, and San was proud that she did something more for the team than sit around hoping that she wouldn't have to fight. She got her fix for blood lust, and now she could focus on helping her friends and finding her mate.

She felt sorry for them, crying out for help and not being able to find it. She also saw Genkai's mask was torn open, and she had reverted to her younger self. That was no surprise, but she didn't understand why Yusuke and Kuwabara were so beat up. She knew Kuwabara had his pride, but really? The crowd was in shock and Koto began talking, "The missing members of the Urameshi team have appeared as well. Hiei and Kurama, can you tell us where you've been?" what was she? Chopped liver? Idiot. But she remembered that she was still in her wolf form, and only her teammates knew of her shape changing ability.
"Sorry, a thirty foot killing machine wanted a word with us," said Hiei.
"M5 told us everything. I'm relieved your three are still alive. Those veruki on the humans fighters backs are the source of Dr. Ichigaki's mind control. And in their present state I'm afraid it would be fatal to remove them. The three are completely innocent, they didn't know the implants would control them. They were told it was blood research," explained Kurama.
"I told you guys, that no good liar!" exclaimed Kuwabara.
"And that's not the extent of it I'm afraid," continued Kurama, "Seems the doctor caused their masters illness in the first place!" San narrowed her eyes at the laughing doctor. She growled, it being more effective as a wolf than as a human.
-I want to rip his head off!- she declared in the minds of Hiei and Kurama.
-Patience- Kurama told her, Hiei being unresponsive. The doctor continued to laugh.
"Your unscientific minds are so trivial. Fully blind to the larger picture! So maybe I did infect Metamura, maybe I lied to get their bodies and maybe I enjoyed it. Who cares? Behind every lab discovery are a few poison rats!" the doctor explained. San growled more, resisting the urch to decapitate him. She had to wait for the other first, before she made her move.
"Shut it Ichigaki, you're full of crap and you know it. You don't care abut this science stuff, you're just trying to win the tournament!" Kuwabara yelled at the youki.
-Let me rip that ugly head off its hinges. I want to feel his death between my jaws!-
-Please San, wait- Kurama urged her.
-Listen to the fox, he might actually save your life- Hiei threw in. The doctor taunted Yusuke and Kuwabara, getting the desired effect on them. They were angry, and Genkai tried to warn them, but they didn't care, they ran at him. The students stood in their way, having no choice but to defend the asshole. San growled more, her patience wearing thin. Yusuke and Kuwabara were thrown back into the ring.
"Now!" said Hiei, and the three demons ran towards the arena. Koto stood in their way.
"I'm sorry guys but they've already agreed for a three on three fight. Step in the ring now and your whole team forefits," she explained, stopping them dead in their tracks.
"You're a heartless mess, you know that?" said Botan, angry at everything she had heard. The doctor's laughed.
"Please, don't blame her, I'm the one that got your apeish friends to accept those terms," he said from his post.
"Naturally," growled Kurama. San looked at him, having never seen this side of him before. He was truly pissed off, and she didn't think she particularly cared for that. The doctor's laugh was really starting to pierce her ears, making her angry. She had no choice to but to stand there, as Yusuke and Kuwabara were facing off the other three humans. They were calling out, trying to get a message to them. The twisted demon explained how his control worked, why they continued to fight. How good it would feel to rip his ugly head off. Once this fight was over, she was going to do so, confident in her abilities. The opposing team started to run at Yusuke and Kuwabara. Yusuke ran, but Kuwabara stood his ground. San knew what he was up to, but thought it was foolish. He took their attacks. He went on about responsibility as a man.
"What is he talking about?" asked Hiei.
"This is not wise!"
Kuwabara contiued to talk, but San was more focused on their attacks. Yusuke stood with Genkai, wanting to help the idiot, but Kuwabara told him to stay back. He tried to talk to sense to them, but their blows were too much, and they simply wouldn't listen. They started to charge for a triple attack, and San was amazed that he stood there. He was lucky to survive, but he would be weak for the rest of the match, unable to fight. San turned her attention back to ring, trying to figure out how to by pass these innocents and rip the doctor limb from limb. Yusuke was pissed, that much was clear. The team started crying, tears of blood, begging that Yusuke kill them. Genkai announced that the team had missed Kuwabara's vitals, the true selves being awake, but not in control. San tried to penetrate their mind but whimpered at the force keeping her out.
"San!" said Kurama going to her aid as she was basically struck down, "Are you alright?"
-Just thought I could reach into their minds to help-
"Please, be patient, you will get your chance," Kurama assured her as she got back on her paws. They turned their attention back to the ring, feeling Yusuke charging up. He seemed to do that when he was mad, but he needed to learn control of that. It was no good going into battle full of rage. Yusuke was taking them on by himself, finally being able to sense the energy attack, or so San assumed. She got up and walked with Hiei and Kurama towards the doctor, who was calculating the odds of him winning this match. His chances must have been high before, because he was terribly upset when it read 52%.
"Percentages are for poker fool," said Hiei, Kurama and San at his side.
"You can factor strengths and stamina doctor, I'll give you that. But determining true heart of a person is quite a different game," Kurama threw in.
He growled, "Buzz off! I'm must have punched the wrong number. Destroy them!" he declared. Yusuke was powering up for his spirit gun, and it would kill anythign it hit with the power he was emitting. San didn't know he could reach a strength like this, it never came up during his training, but it seemed when his emotions ran away with him, he became more powerful.
"It'd be better if I could kill you Ichigaki!" Yusuke yelled at him, still powering his spirit gun. That, was reserved for San. He was just about to fire when Genkai stopped him. They fell to the ground and Genkai pulled a stance San did not expect to see. Genkai was going to heal them, using a variation of her spirit wave. San would smile if she could, but didn't given her current state. The doctor started to laugh again, knowing that they couldn't kill the humans. San growled, knowing that he wasn't going to win, he was going to die by her fangs. Genkai started the chant for the spirit wave. San had never seen her use the signature move before, and was happy she was here to witness such a thing. The fighters got ready to attack her, but San knew that Genkai was too good for that. Genkai finished her attack, the fighters falling to the ground, the contraptions on their backs destroyed.
"There's nothing left of them," stated Hiei.
"Yes, an immense attack," said Kurama. The doctor was not smiling anymore. He couldn't believe what had just happened. This probably didn't show up in his calculations. She snarled, getting ready for the kill. Koto began her count, but San knew that they wouldn't get up again. She landed on ten and then declared the Urameshi team the winner. Yusuke walked up the doctor, but he had nowhere to run.
"Don't embarass yourself," Hiei told him.
"Acknowledge your cruelty and your punishment will be swift," Kurama added. San was standing beside him, bearing her fangs to the youki. It seemed he was afraid of her most of all, and she was going to enjoy killing him.
"Hold on, what if I told you that the master Metamura was still alive. But I am the only person in the world that knows where he's hidden and how to revert his disease!" the doctor pleaded.
"Sorry, lude point," said Kurama, pointing to the senei that had awakened and was using the stadium wall to walk to where they were. The doctor gasped.
"You... evil man," said the master. The doctor took a step back, not expecting to see him alive and moving.
"What? But how did he get here?"
"Your assistant was in the mood to talk. His memory improved after we beat him. We only had to walk two miles to find him, and our wolf friend here had already cured him. She's been dying to sink her fangs into your flesh since she got here, why should we deny her the pleasure?" explained Hiei. The doctor continued to step back, San was ready to lunge at him.
"I acquired a few poisionous herbs as well on this island. I intended to let you try them, but I'm afraid San would be angry with me if I did not let her get a taste of you first," said Kurama. Yusuke laughed, and then the doctor pulled out a syringe, getting ready to inject himself with this mysterious fluid. He laughed, thinking that he was going to win.
"Your pathetic little minds. Do you really think I would experiment with body manipulation and not save a little for myself?" he said, injecting the fluid into his hand. They watched as he turned into a giant demon. But that didn't scare San. He laughed, getting ready to attack Yusuke, but San would have none of that. She jumped, looking like she disappeared from her spot as the doctor stretched his arm at Yusuke and then the two demons. He was walking towards where the three of them had dodged, still attacking them. San appeared, still a wolf beside Yusuke, who's arm was knicked. Yusuke stood, asking Hiei to leave the demon to him, but San reverted to her human form.
"Don't bother, he's already dead," she told him. And they watched as the doctor's neck started to bleed and then break in half, falling to the ground. Yusuke grunted and kicked it clean out of the stadium. The crowd was impressed, Koto explaining what happened. The doctor was dead, and San was happy that it was by her fangs. Kurama helped Metamura, seing as he was still too weak to support himself. He would get better though, and San was proud that she did something more for the team than sit around hoping that she wouldn't have to fight. She got her fix for blood lust, and now she could focus on helping her friends and finding her mate.
