Chapter 17 The Measure of a Man pt. 2

 

 

That's when all hell broke loose as the one demon who was thought to be emotionless known as Hiei screamed into the night as he ran torwards Kuwabara, “NOW YOU ARE REALLY STARTING TO PISS ME OFF!”

 

As soon as Miroku heard Hiei's call to battle he felt Kurama power up, and that's when they all heard the yell of “Rose whip!” being called threw out the air, and a whip of what looked like one vine with thorns attached to it whipped protectively around Kuwabara, and then suddenly, Hiei, and Kurama were at Kuwabara's side standing over him, and waiting for the next move from their nemesis.

 

“Were is it?” Hiei proclaimed loudly, as Kurama, then turned to Yusuke who was getting, “Yusuke you ok?” “Yeah, how is Kuwabara is he alright?” Kagome answered him first, “He is hurt really bad.” Inuyasha followed that comment with a “Damn it all, I can't hear, or smell this thing we're all sitting ducks out here with out your friend's help.”

 

“How can we kill it if we don't know were it is!” Hiei violently stated. Yusuke's voice resounded threw out the air, “We have to protect Kuwabara the demon always comes back to Kuwabara!” With one to two seconds Yusuke, and Inuyasha stood on the opposite ends of Kurama, and Hiei, all of them surrounding a downed Kuwabara.

 

“Miroku, place a protective barrier around you, Kagome, Sango, Kirara, and Shippo, we will handle protecting Kuwabara, don't fail me Miroku!” Inuyasha then turned to the other three, “What's the plan?”

 

Kuwabara laid in the unconscious world words coming in and out, trying to listen to everything around him, protect Kuwabara, put up a barrier, don't fail me, and finally what's the plan.

 

“Uh-!” Kuwabara understood as reality came crashing back threw his mind, he was the only one that could detect this demon and now all his friend's stood in front of him, protecting him, and even a being he knew nothing of stood at his side protecting him, he had to be strong, he had to get up and tell them were this being was, he had to help, but damn it his body was not working with him here.

 

At that one sound Yusuke's heart beat tripled, “Kuwabara, you ok, please-!” Hiei interrupted him, “Tell me were it is so I can behead it!” “Kuwabara lie still so we can protect you.” Kurama said. Inuyasha spoke next “Just tell me were it is, and the wind scar, will solve all of our problems.”

 

Kuwabara's instincts took over, as blood trickled out of the left corner side of his mouth, closing thoughts he concentrated on were the demon was, were is it, were is it, it's there-, “Urameshi, above us,” Kuwabara forced out in a whisper.

 

A whip with thorns gleaming on it, a katana glowing with demon energy, a sword that grown suddenly ten times the amount of it's original size, and once more a ball of light swished threw out the air, combining all there weapons, and yet they still failed to hit their target. As soon as all of them unleashed their attack, Hiei, and Inuyasha was forcibly thrown away from Yusuke, and Kurama.

 

“What the fuck- Kurama, what the hell happened I thought we-!” That comment being cut short Yusuke was again thrown from Kuwabara, and now the only thing that stood between death and Kuwabara was Kurama.

 

Sango watched all of this happening knowing that they were getting defeated right in front of her and Kagome, and Miroku's eyes, and there was nothing they could do about, Kuwabara was going to die she thought, and I never really got to know him. With that thought in mind not knowing Kagome was thinking of Kuwabara's safety two voices screamed into the night at the same time both yelling the same thing, “NO!”

 

At both of the girls screams Kurama once again used his whip swing all around Kuwabara's body, from top to bottom, and from side to side.

 

Kuwabara watched as Kurama protected him, and that's when he felt it, “Behind-“, and that's all he got out before Kurama was violently thrown away from, no my friends they can not protect me, I have to be stronger, I've learned from them, I am supposed to be stronger seeing them hurt what's wrong with me, why am I so weak- There it's right there, and then all the beings in the forest witnessed, as a yellow power streaked threw out the forest, as Kuwabara's Jigen-Tou, was brought forth “Arh-Die!”

 

Every being on the path witnessed as Kuwabara drew a magical sword out of thin air, and then they all heard the sickening sound as he pushed the sword into the air in front of him, the sound of ripping flesh was all they heard, they all once again saw the cloaked shadow demon, they saw as it was laying on Kuwabara's sword above Kuwabara's own body, they all heard it's scream in to the night, as Kuwabara sword pierced it's heart from below him “NO A HUMAN, A WEAK HUMAN DEFEATED ME!”

 

They all watched as the demon, disintegrated, into nothing but ash as Kuwabara's sword disappeared, coughing up blood from the right side of his mouth, he spoke to all of them, “I did it, I saved all of you, I need to rest-“ Kuwabara fell into unconsciousness.

 

Miroku let his barrier drop, and he stated these words as all those who were knocked away from Kuwabara were getting up, “Let us find a campsite for the night it looks like we are going to need it, Kuwabara is hurt pretty bad, so please Inuyasha could you find a body of water.”

 

Shippo's little eyes met Kagome's, as he asked the question every one wanted to know, “Is he going to be alright?”

 

After getting up and witnessing the power of Kuwabara, Inuyasha responded to Shippo first, although anxiety rained through out his voice, “Keh-, come on Shippo someone as powerful as him would not die to weakling as this right-“ Inuyasha turned his question torwards Yusuke.

 

Meeting Inuyasha's eyes Yusuke respond, “Please you and group don't know Kuwabara, he has bounced back from worse situations than this, just point us to, like the monk said, to a body of water, where we can clean his wounds.” Yusuke trying to be brave stated these words yet his heart constructed, as he looked at the bloody body of his friend, no his best friend Kuwabara. Yusuke could tell that Kurama, and Hiei both felt the same way, even through neither would voice it aloud, to afraid to confirm, their emotional tie to a regular human that they both needed to protect.

 

 

Sango thought, Inuyasha found a body of water, and she had watched as Yusuke carried Kuwabara with the help of Kurama torwards the hot spring, and now here she sat watching them all, Kuwabara had been awake when they all returned, he should not be awake, she thought as they all had returned back to camp, Kuwabara was wearing nothing but his pants, and his chest was bandaged from the top of his neck to the waist band of his pants.

 

She meet Kurama's eyes and he felt her confusion, about Kuwabara, “ I used the seed of the tree of life to help him, he is going to be ok now!”, Kurama claimed before all of them, that's what they needed to hear, they all had been worried about him, because he was so badly hurt.

 

That's when Hiei not only broke the mood, but also helped distance his self from Inuyasha and his group, not knowing that him not expressing his true emotions, set the ball rolling with Sango, demon slayer, “If Kuwabara had not been so weak, we could have defeated this demon before it attacked anyone else.”

 

Sango gasped, and stated, “How could you say that about, someone from your own group.!”
