Kitsunebi

Chapter 12

 

Charging up a full-power blast, Yomi aims it squarely at Hiei's face. “I win.”

 

Before Yomi could fire, though, a thorny Rose Whip wraps around his hand, slicing the Makai Lord's wrist and hands as he jumps back away from Hiei. “Not yet,” a cold determined voice states. The whip pulls back into the dust as three figures make their way through.

 

“Oi, Hiei, you forgot about us!” Yuusuke cheerfully exclaims. Turning to Yomi, he says, “You, bastard, are going down!” Yomi's shield goes up once more as Hiei unsteadily rises to his feet to stand next to his comrades.

 

“And what do you plan on doing? In case you hadn't noticed, that silly dragon did nothing to me,” Yomi calmly says, dropping into a defensive stance. “And in case you forgot, Mazoku, I won the last time we fought. Kurama, I'm so disappointed in you. Here I was, thinking that you'd come back.”

 

“You forget, Yomi, that foxes don't like being caged.”

 

Yomi replies with a twisted smirk, “Now, now, you didn't seem to mind your last stay here much. You were screaming so loudly and begging for me so much why, I thought you'd wake the whole castle!”

 

The comment hit a nerve, as Kurama's eyes narrow, green and gold swirling in his irises. His hair straightens, and starts to turn silver as his aura begins to visibly surround him. His red-silver hair ruffles in some unseen wind as he sends a cold hard glare in Yomi's direction. Hiei could only watch in awe and appreciation as the fox's aura visualized as a purple rising mist, tendrils floating and dissipating as they rose above the kitsune's head. “I think this has gone on for long enough. It's time for me to do what I should have done the first time around.”

 

“I'd hate to kill you; you're such a pretty fox and absolutely divine in bed,” Yomi replies, his voice like lava flowing down the side of a volcano. “Think about it, Kurama, me, the ruler of the worlds, you, my consort at my side. Isn't that what we dreamed of back then?”

 

Kurama, though, had decided that Yomi's last statement did not even deign a response. He simply charged, half transformed as he was, Rose Whip in hand in an instant. Yomi dodges the strike, raising his Reppahanshougeki once more. Kurama whirls around with the Rose Whip to strike again, red and silver hair swirling around him. The whip bounces off the shield, causing sparks of energy to fly off of it. Green-gold eyes focus on Yomi as Kurama passively catches the whip. Out of the corner of fox's eye, he catches a flash of red and blue as he hears Yuusuke shout “REIGUN!” from his left.

 

The massive ball of pure reiki gouges a path in the stone floor as it crashes into Yomi, destroying his shield. Kurama takes that moment to slash at the goat youkai from the air. “KAGON RETSUZANSHI!” The whip moves in dizzying patterns, landing cuts all over Yomi. Yomi replies with a youki blast in Yuusuke's direction as the goat youkai whirls to kick Kurama across the room. Yuusuke manages dodge the hit, but the kick lands and Kurama is flung across the room. The fox flips in the air and skids to the wall.

 

Hiei and Kuwabara take that moment to charge Yomi, Hiei's Jaoh Ensatsu Ken flaring to life as Kuwabara manifests his Jigen Tou. Yomi turns at the last second, both attacks missing him. The goat youkai lets a smirk grace his lips as he hits the back of Hiei's head with his left fist and kicks Kuwabara with his right leg. The sheer force of the hit causes Hiei to land head first on the ground, leaving yet another gouge in the stone floor. He lands next to Kurama. Kuwabara goes flying back into the wall, leaving a large dent as he lands face first onto the floor.

 

Before Yomi had a chance to take advantage of the situation, Yuusuke had leapt in, trying to land ki-enhanced blows on the Makai Lord. Yomi succeeded in deftly dodging them all, until Kurama persuades a few vines to grow in through the roof. While Yomi's senses were sharp, the sheer amount of energy in the room had made him miss the presence of those vines, and by the time he did, they had bound his arms to his torso and his legs together. Try as he might to break them, the sheer amount of youki Kurama was feeding them made them too hard to break easily, and Yuusuke had taken full advantage of that situation to lay it into the Makai Lord.

 

“Hiei! Now!” Yuusuke shouts, giving Yomi one last hard punch, sending the Makai Lord flying backwards. The Mazoku jumps into the air, charging a youki/reiki hybrid bullet on his finger, as Hiei lands a follow up hit with his flame covered fists, knocking Yomi down in the opposite direction. As Yomi falls, Hiei takes his opportunity to leap up next to Yuusuke, summoning up every last drop of his youki for the next attack.

 

“JAOH ENSATSU KOKURYUUHA!”

 

“REIGUN!” As the two attacks race towards Yomi, they spiral together, until they fuse into one attack: the Kokuryuuha wrapped in a spiral of brilliant red and blue energy. The dragon roars at Yomi as he desperately raises his energy shield once more to absorb the attack. Dust and stone shards obscure all vision as the point blank attack crashes into his shield. His cry of pure agony was the only indication the attack had torn through the shielding and hit him.

 

As Hiei and Yuusuke land, Kuwabara runs over to them, shouting, “You guys got him!”

 

Hiei, weary after using the last of youki, drops to his knees. He was mere moments from dropping into forced hibernation. A glint amidst the dust, though, had him using life force to propel his legs fast enough to block the next hit. Looking down, he smiles. “I . . . made . . . it . . . Kurama,” he manages to stutter out before sliding down to the ground.

 

Kurama's eyes could only widen in shock as he took in what had happened; as his rage dissipates, he returns to his normal redheaded form. Hiei was kneeling in front of him, with his own katana speared through his body. Blood drips down from the sword, pooling at the floor. As Yuusuke and Kuwabara rush over to tend to their fallen friend, Kurama gently sets the fiery youkai on his side. Looking down at the unconscious and bleeding form at his feet, he quietly says in a deathly calm voice, “Hiei, your sacrifice will not be in vain.” Glancing at his friends with eyes that held so much emotion, but mostly concern, he coldly says, “Yomi's mine.” Looking up, he fixes with a hard frozen glare. Even blind, Yomi could not help but flinch.

 

Quickly recovering, Yomi says, “If I cannot have you, Kurama, no one can. Least of all a reject like him!”

 

Taking a few steps forward, Kurama pulls out a jet black rose as he once more enters his half transformed state. “Reject? He's the heir to Mukuro's realm. He's no reject. You? You disgust me. You can't even get someone to warm your bed without resorting to cheap tricks.”

 

“In case you forgot, you fell for those very same cheap tricks before moaning like a whore in my bed!” Yomi drops into a defensive stance as his shield flares to life once more. To his shock, the shield briefly flickers before dying out.

 

Seeing his opening, Kurama tears into Yomi with the whip, forcing the lord into a deadly dance of dodging the thorny whip; each hit coming closer than the next. Had Yomi not been hit with Yuusuke and Hiei's combined attack, dueling Kurama would have been easy. But as it were, Yomi knew he had to end this quickly before his body gave out altogether. Deciding he had had enough of dodging, he sneaks forward, past the whip, landing a series of punches on Kurama, sending the kitsune flying backwards.

 

Pushing his advantage, he rushes forward to strike, only to have the fox disappear in a blur of black, red, and silver and slash at his open back. Yomi lets out a cry of pain as the thorns dig in, blood drops flying in the air as the whip pulls back. Coldly, Kurama throws a handful of Shimaneki seeds at Yomi's opened back. A few land in the cuts while Yomi manages to move away the others. The seedlings, encouraged by Kurama's angry youki, hungrily grow on Yomi's exposed flesh and blood. “It's over.”

 

“Never. This is a fight to the death.” Yomi reaches back behind him, pulling out the plants and flinging them aside before charging at Kurama again, fists launching youki blasts at the fox. Kurama deftly dodges them, the blasts harmlessly passing by the fox. Loosely holding his whip in his right hand, Kurama summons his Youzan Ken in his left, using it to deflect the second wave as he charges at Yomi for another attack. Yomi leaps to his left, dodging the whip, but Kurama swings the whip to the right to follow, catching Yomi's right ankle. Wrenching the whip forward, Kurama slams Yomi into the stone floor. The Makai lord's back slams into the cold stone floor, stone chips digging painfully into the open cuts in his back.

 

Kurama takes that opening to jump down and stab Yomi in the stomach with the Youzan Ken on his left arm. Yomi grins, sending a youki blast upwards at Kurama as the fox lands his blow. Caught off guard, Kurama goes flying into the non-existent ceiling. Landing on his feet several feet away, Kurama warily eyes Yomi as the goat youkai tries to get back onto his feet, blood pouring out of the stab wound in his abdomen. A jet black rose lies a few inches away from the lord.

 

“It's . . . not . . . over . . . yet,” Yomi gasps, spitting up a mouthful of blood.

 

“It's over. You can't even stand anymore.” Kurama coldly stares at the goat youkai, waiting for his next move.

 

“No, I don't think so. If I am going to meet Enma, I'm taking someone with me.” Kurama's eyes widen, realizing that in his single-minded focus on killing Yomi, he was now on the far side of the room from Hiei. Yuusuke and Kuwabara had succeeded in removing Hiei's sword, but could not stop the bleeding from the wound. For that, they knew, they would need a healer. Yomi releases all of his remaining energy in one huge blast; the blast was so large that it spanned the width of the room. Yuusuke whirls around and shoots off a Yougun at it. To his dismay, the blast slowed down little and broke past the blast. Yuusuke tries again, charging a larger blast and as it made contact with Yomi's blast, continued to feed it his youki.

 

Kuwabara scoops up Hiei, leaving a trail of blood, and runs for the door of the throne room, only to find that it was locked. “Kurama, it's locked!”

 

“Yomi that bastard,” Kurama curses, scooping up the fallen black rose from where it lay next to Yomi's body.

 

“Ha-ha, in the end, Kurama, I win,” Yomi says as he falls unconscious. “Your comrades will fall along with your lover.”
