Chapter 21:His End Is Our Beginning

 

A few months had passed and Kyo was still out of sight. Scarlet was getting worried. The longer Kyo stayed out of the radar, the stronger the possibility that he's gotten too strong to beat.

 

While the boys tried to find Kyo in their way, Scarlet went and did her own type of digging. She went around the Makai, talking to old acquaintances, ones she used to sell her stolen items to. After awhile, she found the one she wanted. He always knew everything that was happening in the Makai and if he didn't, he would instantly do it for her.

 

She walked into his slummy home in the southern Makai. She looked around at the mess; he obviously hadn't improved his cleaning skills since she last visited him.

 

“Well, I didn't expect to see you here.”

 

There he was the scum bag; puke green skin, dingy purple hair spiked up into a mohawk, eyes devoid of all color.

 

“Hello, Gaku,” she said, trying to sound pleasant.

 

If Gaku didn't look grotesque enough, his smell was even worse. “What are you doing here, Scarlet?” His voice was dripping with lust and desire.

 

It took all of Scarlet's will power not to grimace. “I need some information,” she said, trying to sound seductive.

 

Apparently her act worked; she could see the lust shining in Gaku's eyes.

 

“Well, as I'm sure you're aware; you still owe me for last time.”

 

Scarlet did her best to keep on a seductive face. “Tell you what. You tell me what I want to know, and I'll pay you twice as much,” she said winking.

 

Gaku shook his head. “I don't think so, Scarlet. I'm not leaving empty handed this time.”

 

In her mind, Scarlet was plotting a horrible death for this sex hungry pig but she didn't let it show on her face. As sort of a down payment, she pulled her shirt down, revealing her bare shoulders and a lot of cleavage.

 

Gaku eyed the vixen greedily and almost jumped her when she pulled her shirt back up.

 

“Tell me what I want to know and you'll get more,” she said.

 

“What do you want to know?” he asked, his voice dripping with lust and desire.

 

“Where's Kyo?”

 

Gaku practically choked when Kyo's name was brought up. “You're going after him!?!”

 

“Do you know where he is or not?”

 

“Of course I do. He's in the Mentai Mountains. Is that all you needed?”

 

Scarlet smirked, “Yes, yes it was.” She pulled out her rose and sliced Gaku into small pieces, his blood only adding to the mess of his small home.

 

“Bout time he kicked the bucket,” she said then left the house in a hurry.

 

At Koenma's however, the Spirit Detectives are still in the library searching on places where Kyo might be.

 

“Ugh! If I wanted to be this bored I would have gone to school!” Yusuke shouted, frustrated with all the searching.

 

“Shut up, Detective,” Hiei said. His head was pounding; he had been searching with Jagan for hours and came up empty.

 

Kurama sighed and ran his hand through his hair. “Where could he be?”

 

“Eastern Makai: Mentai Mountains.”

 

The guys quickly turned around and saw Scarlet leaning against the wall with her arms folded across her chest. She looked annoyed or something but no one asked her what was wrong.

 

“Are you sure?” Kurama asked; he didn't want to go on a wild goose chase.

 

Scarlet nodded. “Positive.”

 

“Well, let's get going!” Yusuke exclaimed.

 

Everyone nodded in agreement and they left to Koenma's office.

 

Koenma didn't even hesitate giving them a portal; they need to get rid of Kyo now.

 

Scarlet led the group into the mountains. She knew Kyo best so it was the only logical thing to do. Unfortunately, Kyo didn't always like logic so he was still incredibly difficult to find.

 

“He's over that mountain!” Kuwabara shouted to the group.

 

Scarlet nodded; she could sense it as well.

 

“We've got another problem,” Yusuke said as he stared ahead at the arm Kyo sent to fight them.

 

“He's up to something…” Kurama stated.

 

“And I can only imagine what. But this is going to take forever and it's only going to be a waste of energy,” Scarlet said as she was about to waste the army along with the majority of her spirit energy, but Hiei put his hand in front of her.

 

“You and Kurama go after Kyo. We'll take care of these bakas.”

 

Scarlet smiled. “Thanks Hiei.” She pecked a kiss on his cheek then she and Kurama went off towards Kyo's location.

 

“That's a weird shade for you, Hiei,” Kuwabara snickered as he saw Hiei turn a little pink.

 

“Shut it, Kuwabara. You can make fun of him later. Right now we got an army to dispose of.”

 

Kuwabara nodded as he and Hiei joined Yusuke in the battle.

 

Meanwhile, Kurama and Scarlet had just picked up Kyo's trail and he was running.

 

“We've got to slow him down somehow…” Kurama thought aloud.

 

Scarlet, however, was all ready working on that. She pulled out a couple of seeds from her pocket and threw them as far as she could. She threw them straight past Kyo and as soon as they hit the mountain side, they sprouted and created a wall and it entrapped Kyo. All though it didn't stop him for long, it did slow him down enough for Scarlet and Kurama to surround him.

 

“This is it, Kyo. We're not letting you go,” Scarlet said, holding her rose.

 

All though his back was to Scarlet, he was still addressing her. “You've grown soft, Scarlet. Normally you would have just attacked me.”

 

Scarlet smirked. “And what fun would that be for Kurama? He needs to have a little fun too.”

 

Kurama couldn't help but smirk at how she put that. It made them sound so cocky, so powerful.

 

Kyo obviously agreed with Kurama's thought of Scarlet's comment, because he growled and lunged at Kurama. Kurama didn't have time to react, but he didn't need to because Scarlet had and now Kyo was trapped in her Rose Whip.

 

Kyo growled again as he tried to break the whip the same way he destroyed the plants, but it wouldn't work. Scarlet must have enforced her plants with her spirit energy. There was no way he could destroy her whip, but that didn't stop him from distracting her.

 

Kyo was still close enough to attack the male fox. He focused his energy and shot it at him, causing him to go flying.

 

As Kyo predicted, Scarlet's focus dropped as she turned her attention to her brother. He took this opportunity and teleported out of the whip's hold and appears behind Scarlet, blasting her with her brother.

 

Scarlet quickly rebounded as did Kurama. They glanced and smirked at each other, immediately coming up with a plan of attack. They both charged a Kyo, whips in striking position. They took turns distracting him while the other got in any shot they could find. Both of them were incredibility fast and Kyo couldn't keep up with both. He was in big trouble.

 

Kyo had to think of something and fast. He looked for any weakness in their attack; he knew he wouldn't get the same chance twice. He also knew that when it came to strength, Kurama was the weaker link. Scarlet surpassed him years ago. As to why she looked up to him, he would never know and he thought her a fool for doing so.

 

He saw Kurama slip up a tiny bit and Kyo took it. He blasted his way through Kurama's defense and got out of their trap.

 

Scarlet ran over to Kurama and supported him. They're attacks were using up so much of their spirit energy he was running on empty. Kyo was tired too, with all the wounds and blood loss. Scarlet had to think of something… they were running out of time.

 

She glanced up at Kyo, hoping something would come to her, but instead, her eyes widen as she recognized Kyo's stance. “Oh no…”

 

“Hell's Fury!”

 

Meanwhile, Yusuke, Kuwabara and Hiei were still working on the army of demons Kyo had sent after them.

 

“Uh… guys?” Kuwabara said, looking at the now darkening skyline.

 

Yusuke and Hiei both looked up and their faces grew grim.

 

“That's the attack Kyo used against us when we first met him…” Yusuke said worriedly.

 

Worry was pasted on Hiei's face and it was so obvious, Kuwabara couldn't help but smile slightly at him.

 

“Hiei, go help your girlfriend. Urameshi and I will deal with these pea brains.”

 

Hiei quickly turned around, looking at Kuwabara sort of quizzically.

 

“Go on, shorty.”

 

Hiei couldn't help but smirk; maybe Kuwabara wasn't as bad as he thought. He dashed off and ran for Scarlet's position.

 

When he got there, first thing he saw was Kurama. He ran over and saw how beat up he was. His body was beaten and bloody, but he wasn't in danger of dying.

 

Kurama looked up him. “Hiei, you've… got to help Scarlet…” he pleaded.

 

Hiei nodded and searched for Scarlet's energy signature and ran towards her. When he got there, anger and worry raced through him. He ran over to Scarlet and fell forward onto the katana that just pierced through his stomach.

 

“Hiei!” Scarlet cried as she stared in shock at the fire demon who just threw himself in the way of Kyo's attack.

 

Kyo glared at the short demon in front of him and threw him to the side, ripping the katana out of Hiei, making the wound worse.

 

Hiei forced himself to his feet and held his katana firmly, his other hand on his stomach wound. He pushed himself forward and knocked Scarlet's katana out of Kyo's hands.

 

Kyo growled, Hiei had slices his arm badly when he knocked the katana out of his hand. He quickly charged and blasted Hiei back before the fire ice hybrid could do any damage.

 

Hiei was losing a lot of blood really fast. He had to end this. He took his katana and rammed it through Kyo's stomach and into the mountain side. He ripped off the bandages and called forth his dragon, which ripped out of his arm and made quick work out of Kyo, but then it also turned to attack anything in sight due to Hiei's lack of energy and focus.

 

Hiei quickly regained control of his dragon and withdrew it. He fell to the ground, his vision hazy and his skin very pale.

 

Scarlet ran over to Hiei, holding him in her arms. “Hiei… Hiei…” she called to him, tears started falling down her cheeks.

 

Hiei looked up at Scarlet and she held his hand, he barely had any strength left.

 

“Hiei… you can't die… you just can't… I am not being a single parent!”

 

Hiei looked up at her, wide eyed for a moment, but then he smiled slightly at her and passed out, his head resting on her chest.

 

-*- Okay, people. That's it. Shows over. Hope you liked it. -*-
