Finally the next chapter, sorry it took so long though I am glad I have some loyal readers. Another 20 pager so I hope this one is up to standard. At the bottom under the chapter I have placed a question I would like all my readers to consider please? Thank you everyone.


Poll is still open with Yukina’s colour as Ice Blue. Hope those who chose that colour are happy with the choice. I do need as many of Genkai’s colours as I can get as I will need to choose her life rose in chapter 10. Oh and Botan’s will be ending soon as well the rest are still open.

Ok Hermione, she will be in this fic most likely on Harry’s side but also trying to keep Ron in line as well. (You should remember why in a past chapter). As for Voldemort, he will fight him in fact here’s a secret Harry will be fighting Voldemort when the portal to the Demon world will be opened so some real drama will be on hand. Not including the real enemy of Harry’s too. (I said too much)

About the graphic lemon’s? if there are any they will only be on Adult Fan fiction . net.

Chapter 8 Part 2


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~******~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


At the Castle Gate…


“Wow now this place is homey.” The sarcastic tone in Yusuke’s voice clearly showed what he really thought.


“So uh, I guess were going to just walk right in.” Harry smirked while shaking his head and moved foreword looking round Kuwabara.


“I think that’s the general idea.” Yusuke snorted his amusement clear


“Any prize worth having usually requires a risk.” Looking back at Kurama with his ears perked Harry grinned getting an amused look in return.


“I say we make them come out here and fight us upfront like their not a bunch of sissy’s.” Snorting Harry gave a small smile at Kuwabara’s enthusiasm, but it was Hiei who baited the teen.


“Hah! Your sense of strategy is amazing.” Kuwabara immediately retaliated.


“You talkin to me runt boy!” Harry shook his head in exasperation, Kurama sighed wanting to get this whole mission over with while Yusuke got irritated and it showed in his shoulders and voice as he spoke up diffusing the situation for the time being.


“Let’s go.” Immediately they followed him into the hallway of the castle. As soon as they all entered past the front door the hairs on Harry’s neck stood up alerting him to the danger all around, glancing around he did not see anything so he kept it to himself.


Looking back up at their pathway through the now bricked hallway, a light shone ahead, but as they got close to it a flying eyeball suddenly flew in front blocking the way foreword.


“Welcome to Maze Castle.” Harry’s ears lay back the voice annoying him something awful.


“Woh it talked.” Harry just rolled his eyes but his attention was on the flying fiend above them all.


“Those who enter Maze Castle must be tried by the gates of betrayal.” Looking downwards he thought over the words and the legends he remembered being told by his parents before they passed away.


“What do you mean tried?” Hearing Yusuke voice Harry looked up and saw the fiend push down a switch triggering something as he could hear from cogs beginning to move and the shaking of the hallway.


“Urameshi? Why did you have to ask?!” Kuwabara sounded frightened and with good reason none of us knew what to expect with that switch having been flipped.


It was at the same time that both Kurama and Harry looked up towards the ceiling but were not able to do anything.


“The ceiling!” and with that the ceiling came down, with a reflective movement they all through their hands up to stop the falling weight, miraculously all of them combined together were able to keep the weight barely up.


“Heavy isn’t it? Sensors in the corridor are most intelligent and a complex assembly of gears adapt the ceilings weight precisely to the strength of its victims. Of course there is a catch, just enough leeway remains for one person to escape leaving their friends to be crushed by the weight.” It was taking nearly all Harry had to hold up the ceiling and hearing the fiend’s voice was making him want to rip it apart for putting them in the predicament they were in.


“But decisions must be made quickly not even the five of you combined can hold the ceiling for long. Insist on team work and everyone will be crushed, only by turning against your friends will one of you be able to escape. Only the traitor among you deserves to enter Maze Castle. That’s why it’s called the gate of betrayal you see.” Looking up at the opening in front of him where the annoying laughing came from made Harry crave the freedom that would come from getting out of this predicament.


“Boy I would love to get my hands on that bat thing!” Kuwabara’s voice was strained and loosing part of his concentration he allowed the ceiling to drop slightly making everyone suffer.


“Stay focused on the weight or you will kill us all!” Harry’s eyes were shut as he concentrated but the bickering between Hiei and Kuwabara was flaying his last nerve of calm.


“Oh sure blame me. I bet I’m holding up a lot more weight than you are!” Baring his teeth in a snarl Harry opened his eyes and snapped at the Youkai and teen.


“Urashi Baka’s!” He could feel Kurama’s strained gaze on him but ignored it for closing his eyes and concentrating on holding up the weight once more.


“I’m not about to die for you worthless creatures!” Opening his eyes once more Harry watched the argument silently not wanting to expand any more energy than he had.


“Don’t you even consider it Hiei.” Kurama’s voice was deadly even with a weight pushing down upon him, a promise in his voice.


“Oh man I knew we should have played some trust games.” Harry snorted at this, his snarl becoming even more pronounced with his strength quickly depleting.


“This has always been my favorite part of the trial. Watching the way you squirm as your muscles begin to pop and tear under the ceilings weight. But of course the best is your eyes. Seeing the gears of thought turn in desperation, thinking, questioning yourself. How long can I hold this? Will I die this way? Will one friend betray us and escape while we flatten? Or should I be the one?” Harry’s ears were as flat as they could go as he glared murderously up at the flying eye. Wanting only to tear it into little pieces and let the blood to flow.


“Just ignore that punk! Stick together!” With that the ceiling lowered omunusly showing how close the end was coming. Harry kept on battling thoughts of escaping like a fox would and abandoning everyone else; he could not do that to his newly found pack.


“And if anyone tries to run I swear I’ll drag them back myself.” The ceiling had come down a little further putting more and more pressure on them all. Growling quite audibly at this stage Harry showed what he thought of Kuwabara’s suggestion while Hiei just smirked as he retaliated.


“Hah! And I suppose you think it you’d think it would be noble to if we all died as a team!”


“That’s right!” Snarling Harry spoke up the strain making his voice sound harsh to all ears.


“Urusai both of you or I will leave you here to get rid of your persistent arguing!”


“Here’s a thought. Urusai and lets find a way out!” Yusuke was straight to the point and all of them quieted down. All eyes were open looking around for a solution when Yusuke finally spotted one.


“Hiei!” Looking over at Yusuke everyone’s attention was on him wondering what he had come up with.


“You’re a lot faster than any of us. We’ll hold the ceiling while you go flip the switch.” Harry’s face showed a mixture of amusement and questioning, Kurama looked surprised and slightly pleased and Kuwabara looked as though he had a sour lemon in his mouth while Hiei just looked plain shocked.


“You crazy! We can’t trust that guy, just look he does not care at all about us.” Harry turned his head towards Kuwabara his mind now set on a course of action.


“Baka, it maybe the only chance we have.” Kuwabara looked stupefied before trying to defend his point.


“But…”


“But nothing I trust Yusuke’s judgment not yours.” Harry’s eyes were cold as he looked straight at Kuwabara’s pale face.


“Your ugly friend has a good point Baka’s.” Instantly Kuwabara snapped his attention from Harry to Hiei his fury reawakened by the Youkai’s words.


“Who’s ugly! Come here you mouse!” Though Hiei just ignored him, his concentration on Tantei at this point.


“Are you sure you want to trust me? I’ve already vowed my revenge on you. Maybe I’ll handle that now.” Yusuke was not fazed by Hiei’s tone of voice or his hidden threats and smiled putting the Youkai off guard.


“Hai but I don’t think quick deaths are your style.” Hiei looked surprised at Yusuke while a red aura began to surround the Tantei.


“I’ll let out all the Reiki I have left to buy us a little time while you run to the switch, just don’t trip.” Then with a nod of his head Yusuke let all his power loose as he said one last sentence.


“I trust you. Now GO!” And with that Hiei was off, both Kurama’s and Harry’s expressions had been wondering and fascinated at the conversation that had taken place, but with even more weight piling on their shoulders made their attention focus fully on the weight that was now almost to the breaking point of everyone’s endurance.


Even with the combined effort of all four of them plus the extra help of Yusuke’s Reiki was not enough, slowly the ceiling was slipping little by little and there was nothing any of them could do.


“What’s the deal! Pull the stupid switch already!” At that shout Harry’s head snapped up and took in what was happening, over by the switch stood Hiei and he was not moving though caught in an indecisive decision.


“There is no need to make snap judgments my friend, what have they ever done for you. Leave them and you can come with me into the castle. With the invasion of Earth the four saint beasts will control the future. Be smart, join us, perhaps you can be the general of our Youkai army.” The words so sweetly placed sounded so tempting, but with a darker side underneath. Listening to the fiends words Harry realized that it was most likely to be a trap for anyone to meet the saint beasts. For who would want a traitor amongst them.


“Don’t you dare you creep if it hadn’t been for our help you’d still be screaming with the rest of us!” It seemed Kuwabara had made Hiei come to a decision, for the Youkai pulled his hand away from the switch.


‘That’s not good…’ Harry’s thoughts were now troubled, if Hiei truly intended to let them die, there was nothing the rest of them could do. Trapped under the ceiling that seemed to be getting heavier it looked bleak with the group unable to move.


Then laughing caught Harry’s and everyone else’s attention and they looked back towards Hiei, to see him standing there with a smirk on his face.


“What are you laughing about?!” Kuwabara was really beginning to get on the last of Harry’s flayed nerves. But when Hiei opened his eyes, looking at the group trapped under the ceiling, he looked at them with amusement and something else that made Harry freeze his eyes wide.


“Take a guess you fool.” The voice of the Youkai broke whatever spell had come over him and Harry ducked his head a light redness upon his cheeks. Huffing he through the thought to the back of his mind to ignore it and focused his attention on the ceiling.


“Bakayaro Chikishou!” Though when Kuwabara spoke up again it made him grit his teeth his anger reawakening once more.


“Hai. You find Amusement in their pain. Now imagine the satisfaction that will come from their final screams.” Then the fiend began to laugh. Holding back his snarls of anger Harry looked up through the bags of his hair up at the creature.


‘If I ever get my claws on you I will tear you apart. This I promise if only to get rid of that… uhh’ Harry’s thoughts were interrupted as the ceiling came down again, leaving hardly enough space to keep the leverage against the crushing weight.


“Hiei!” Harry could tell through the flashes of pain though his mind from his muscles and joints that if Kuwabara was crying out and pleading with one he did not like, then the situation was going to be even dire than he had first thought. For if Kuwabara would fall the rest of them would follow.


“Wise choice the bolder would have crushed you anyway.” And with that the game was up.


“Thanks for the clue!” Hiei slashed the fiend or so Harry could hear not daring to look and distract himself. It was obvious by the cry of the creature that he had hurt it badly.


The ceiling also stopped then and with a release of breath Harry sat down on his rump with a ‘thump’ panting, not caring his tail was being crushed or that he looked ridiculous with his hands lying limply on the floor next to him.


Looking upwards Harry only caught the sight of a bolder falling where Hiei had just been standing. Shocked Harry raced out of the tunnel before his mind caught up with him as he looked around for the Youkai.


“Tell your masters… this is their chance to beg for mercy.” It was a relief to see and hear him standing on top of the bolder unharmed. Once his declaration of war with the saint beasts was over with he jumped down off the bolder.


Smirking Harry walked foreword to the now grounded Youkai, the red eyes assessing him as Harry came near.


“Couldn’t you have pinned the fiend to the wall or floor so I could have torn him apart?” Hiei curled his lip up his canines showing as a predatory look flashed in his eyes.


“Perhaps, but what then would carry my message to the saint beasts?” Harry licked his top lip nervously as he nodded to the other Youkai. An understanding having being reached between the two of them.


Moving away Harry let Yusuke foreword to talk to the other while he moved back to the side of Kurama, who gave him a questioning look. Shrugging his shoulders, Harry brushed his arm against the other Kitsune, the presence comforting for one having never been among his own kind before.


The other nudged back, their shoulder’s brushing this time; Harry took the comfort from Kurama for what it was and smiled up at the other kitsune a peaceful look in his eyes for once, the green of his eyes most prominent with his calm emotions.


He then watched the exchange between Yusuke and Hiei. It was clear the Youkai was uncomfortable with the situation at hand with the way he spoke and quickly walked off his shoulders tense.


Moving with Kurama we came up beside Yusuke the other smiling at his moody friend.


“Ah hah, it’s his way of saying your welcome. You will learn.” Harry’s ears twitched at Kurama’s as he slowly stretched his muscles, they were still tense from the death experience they had all just been through. Hearing Yusuke’s sarcastic ‘right…’ Harry let out a chuckle as he followed Hiei’s path, the others soon enough following into the castle of the saint beasts.


~~~~******~~~~


The castle was creepy that was for sure, the pillars along the walls were deformed into gruesome looking mummy like statues with what looked like monster heads with extremely sharp teeth sitting on top of them.


Ears lain back Harry kept his guard up, the place giving him the creeps, then as they were all walking a ‘brrrring’ sound penetrated the silence making Harry jump as his head snapped in Yusuke’s direction.


Walking over he looked over the teens shoulder to see what looked like a pink compact in his hand. Kuwabara looked a sight as he asked nervously what the item was.


“It’s just the communication mirror I got from Botan.” Still looking at the communication device Harry had shifted to the side his Kitsune curiosity niggling at him still about the item.


Then once open Botan was shown doing a peace sign in the window of the mirror as she answered.


“Hello Yusuke. It’s Botan here in the living world you copy?” Harry’s ears perked upright at her voice as he tilted his head, then grinning he moved away to join Kurama, there was something on his mind that he wanted to speak to him about.


~~~~******~~~~


Five Minutes Later…


After the call everyone was moving again, Yusuke and Kuwabara up front with Harry, Kurama and Hiei taking up the rear. Harry and Kurama were walking very close together, partly so Harry could get some comfort in this place and secondly because it was calming for his emotions which had been getting worse especially his temper which had already been out of control.


Folding his arms with his ears back and head looking towards the ground as Harry walked made a pitiful sight, even his tail was limp as his thoughts turned over themselves, past regrets and guilt trips circling his mind in an endless whirl.


Then he was jolted out of his thoughts when he felt a hand on his shoulder, looking up at Kurama his eyes dark he saw understanding in the others gaze and a question. Reading the others eyes he looked away lips in a thin line shoulders slumped.


Concerned Kurama squeezed Harry’s shoulder to give him strength and then when Yusuke turned to ask Kurama about the saint beasts his hand slipped away. Ears perked a bit, his sullen mood gone for the moment as he listened to Kurama’s reply to Yusuke enquiry.


“She wouldn’t have told you much I’m afraid. Ever since the barrier wall was raised around this city. Reikai intelligence virtually forgot this place existed.” Harry tilted his head to the side; it did make sense that Kurama would know more as he was much older than he appeared to be. His scent told Harry that much though Kuwabara sounded a little disbelieving.


“What’ll you know?” Shaking his head Harry kept his attention on the other Kitsune in front of him, an amused spark shone in the others eyes while he just smiled very calmly.


“Let’s just say that when you see their bodies you maybe very surprised.” Harry’s top lip twitched in amusement of his own. Kitsune’s and their riddles, a play that his kind never got tired of.


“Terrified… Isn’t that more like it?” Harry’s ears went right back against his head as the scratchy and grumbling voice, almost the sound of rocks shifting with a deafening noise to him at least, sounded throughout the corridor they were standing in.


“Uh? Ehy who said that?” Kuwabara sounded nervious and for good reason Harry was not feeling particularly brave himself after hearing that voice.


“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. There’s a door behind you, please take it.” Turning everyone took in the sight of the door. Nervious Harry let the two teens first while keeping close to Kurama as possible, he hated not being able to see something but only hear it. It reminded him far too much of his second year at his other school. Shaking his head he followed the other Kitsune into the now open room which was pitch black inside.


He watched Yusuke take the torch and throw it into the darkness illuminating it to all their eyes. Suddenly the shape that he had only just about seen due to his superior eyesight came into focus as did the scent of bare rock and earth, not something he was particularly enjoying.


“Ha ha ha ha, welcome trespassers.” Harry looked in disbelief at the creature in front of them. It was most definitely an earth elemental creature from the formation of its body from the sharp tail to the turtle like shell back and the sharp points on its forehead to represent its hair. Its legs were large to hold the weight of its body while its arms were long and sharply tipped at the end of each finger.


But what calmed Harry down was the intelligence rating in the creatures eyes, unlike their group it was of a simple mind that could only discern one purpose. To destroy them and that was it.


Looking over at Kurama he saw the other nod his head in answer to his unasked question. Ears twitching he turned back to the creature his thoughts going a mile to a minute.


I am Genbu of the four saint beasts. Do you have a request before you die?” Lifting an eyebrow Harry give a disbelieving look as he knew a certain someone was going to come out with a sarcastic comment at that question.


“Yeh tell me how a beast is a saint I’m lost.” Lip twitching Harry shook his head minutely in amusement at Yusuke’s question not really wanting to draw attention to himself.


“This stairwell is the only way to the castle tower. You can either defeat me and go up on your own or be dragged there once you’ve stopped breathing!” Harry’s ears twitched at the loud noise of stone breaking. Rubbing one of his ears that were lying against his head he chanced a look at Kurama and saw the coldest look he had ever seen on the other Kitsunes face, clearly Kurama was not impressed with the creatures antics.


“Why don’t you all attack me at once? Then the last one left won’t feel lonely.” Looking over at the tallest teen Harry could see the Ningen was starting to freak out over the situation.


“He’s a rock Urameshi! How we meant to fight against a talking rock?!” Then Kurama moved foreword his expression now calm and slightly amused.


“I will fight him.” Yusuke looked unsure while Kurama stood sincerely, not worried in the slightest.


“Are you sure?” Kurama did not move.


“It would be Ill advised for us all to attack without first knowing his power.” Then Kurama turned, a smile upon his face as he looked towards Hiei and Yusuke.


“Besides I can hardly let Hiei get all the credit for this mission now can I?” Before the other Kitsune could move Harry made a decision. Moving foreword he placed a hand on the others arm drawing Kurama into a stare hoping the other would ascent to this if needs be.


For a long couple of seconds the two Kitsunes stared at each other one trying to get his message across while the other waited. Then with a smile lighting his face Kurama clasped a hand over Harry’s an agreement for what he had asked.


Harry nodded and let go his hand slipping from the smooth ones of Kurama, then the other Kitsune carried on his way towards the creature and the battle that was to take place.


With a light redness on his cheeks Harry dropped back a couple of steps worried even so with the agreement in place from the other Kitsune, things could still go badly.


“You want to die one by one? I can do that too.” Harry ignored the creature his body tense, though Yusuke seemed to be having second thoughts about sending Kurama out to fight alone.


“Hey! Wouldn’t it be better trying to lure him back to that drop down ceiling or something?” Listening to Yusuke Harry knew he had a good point, but he had faith in Kurama to see this battle thorough.


“Obviously you are underestimating Kurama. Do you know why I chose him to be my partner? To avoid fighting him myself. Watch. He’s more cutthroat than I am when it comes to battle and unbelievably precise.” Looking back at Yusuke from the corner of his eyes he added to Hiei’s statement.


“It is true for I have seen the way he battles in person. Nothing survives. Nothing is left, except those he wants to live.” He could feel Hiei’s assessing gaze on him but he ignored it his focus on Kurama and the fight at hand.


“Sir the first move is yours.” With that the declaration was made, the fight had begun.


The atmosphere was tense as everyone waited for somebody to make a move.


“Hey! Stone mans doing something freaky with his tail!” Looking over where Yusuke was pointing Harry narrowed his eyes, the creature had merged his tail with the flooring which meant that he could attack from anyplace at anytime.


‘Elemental travelling…. I remember, elementals can use their ability to such an extent that slowly they morph into the actual element they are attuned to. If this happened their bodies become that of which they resonate most. In this creatures case earth and rock was his specialty, so in merging with his element he can use it to make himself as invincable as the rock around him and travel though it without effort.’ Harry blinked and shook his head getting rid of the textbook explanation that had been running through his head.


Looking back at the fight he just saw Kurama get sliced across the stomach while trying to dodge the attack of the creature’s tail while in the air. Hissing though his teeth he clenched his fists his claws piercing his palms, his blood seeping from under clenched fists.


“Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Thanks to my body’s structure I can become one with any type of rock. Without any rearranging I can make any stone my tail.” Breathing out slowly Harry slowly unclenched his fists, his nose picking up the scent of Kurama’s blood from across the room.


“Hai were in trouble.” Though Harry did not share Kuwabara’s sentiments, even though Kurama was injured he could and would still fight until it was over and done.


“And since this whole chamber is made of stone I have you surrounded. There’s nowhere to run!” The beast was beginning to bore Harry with all its talking. Moving backwards he slipped to crouch on the ground by Hiei his tail ideally swishing from side to side as one hand held himself upright.


“Oh man now he’s wounded.” Harry shook his head and spoke up drawing the two teen’s attention.


“He will still fight no matter how much blood he looses.” Hiei smirked while Kuwabara put a hand on Yusuke’s shoulder worried about Kurama.


“Maybe we should help.” But Kurama stopped them with some softly said words.


“There is no need I’ve been hurt but he will not take me by surprise again.” Harry nodded in response while Kurama turned back to his opponent his hand still covering his wound, though his Youkai healing was slowly easing the pain away.


“Ha wait until you see the full extent of my power then you won’t be so confident!” And with that the creature melded with the rock in the floor disappearing from sight.


“Melding with the rock he has used his elemental powers to transform his actual matter into an entirely different structure altogether, but once he comes out the other side he shall be restored to his original shape. Thus are the workings of elemental traveling. The first stage of the elemental powers.” Yusuke and Kuwabara looked back at Harry with their eyebrows lifted while Hiei only had one lifted in question.


“I learned it at my old school ok? I only just remembered.” Shaking their heads they looked back to the fight just in time to see the creature attack Kurama by coming up from behind him, his tail attacking from the other side. Both missing Kurama with his defensive twists and turns in the air.


“Watch for his tail!” Yusuke was beginning to sound frantic


“He’s getting attacked from both sides!” So was Kuwabara but Kurama was one step ahead of the creature never getting hit, again using his graceful defensive movements.


“Where’d that freak go now?” Harry noticed at the same time as Kurama when Genbu came up from underneath him his tail aiming for the red head but still missing.


“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! You’ll never defeat me by just running away.” The creature sounded so confident but a smirk appeared on Kurama’s face and he closed his eyes.


“Heh Hai Genbu I believe your right.” Then slipping his hand under his hair he pulled out what Harry now knew as his signature weapon the same as his own. Ignoring the teen’s reactions Harry himself reached up a pulled out of his own hair a white rose just alike to Kurama’s own blood red rose.


Looking up he saw Kurama, with a burst of his Youkai, unfurl the rose petals around the chamber. Then after several seconds of this he swung his hand sharply down saying his signature move ‘Rose Whip!’ and the thorned whip slipped behind him to lay upon the ground his stature held rigid.


“Well everything’s coming up roses.” Looking back at Yusuke Harry could see a bewildered face on him though Kuwabara did look uncomfortable.


“It smells girly I don’t think I like it.” Yusuke seemed to decide this was a good time to tease the other teen, Harry shook his head in amusement his mood finally lifted with the scent of earth and rock gone from his sensitive nose.


“Oh sure! I guess he should be a tough guy like you and obsessed with kittens.” Snorting Harry turned back to the fight at hand his hearing easily picking up Kuwabara’s retaliation to that statement.


“Ha ha ha ha ha! You still don’t understand your problem. What good will a fancy whip do you if you can’t tell where I am?” But Kurama far from fearful just closed his eyes as clam as his Kitsune nature inspired him to be.


“Hai. Not being able to find you is a problem.” The creature was getting irritable at it could be heard in his echoing voice.


“Uhh! You just can’t be scared can you? Well I’ll soon change that!” Then with a twitch of his hand Kurama attacked his gaze focused and straight.


“Found you!” And it was true Harry could smell the odor of Earth and rock in one place after the roses had covered up the rest of the chambers smell. Coming from the ceiling Genbu went to attack but Kurama was several step ahead of him, bringing his whip to bare, he launched foreword his ‘Rose Whip Lash’ attack slicing the creature apart even before it had even reached Kurama.


“It’s over. The thorns on Kurama’s whip can slice through anything… even solid stone.” Harry grinned as he stood upright from his crouching position his muscles slightly stiff after staying that way for so long.


Then the creature landed on the ground in pieces though his head could still speak.


“Ahh! How did you find me?” Kurama did not move a smile once again on his face.


“Uh. Your smell. After filling the room with the rose’s sweet aroma your putrid odor was easy for me to find.” With that the creature seemed to die not moving any more.


“Well that’s no fair! Why is it none of my fights can end that quick.” Walking over to Kurama’s side Harry pulled his arm over his shoulder, tiny tremors of suppressed pain could be felt in Kurama’s body. As he leaned some of his weight onto Harry’s shoulder. Kuwabara was the one who complimented Kurama next.


“Wow you beat him in one blow! That’s what I call a wimp” Hiei was clearly disgusted by the Ningens words.


“You Baka. It only looked easy because Kurama was the one fighting. If you had fought you would have died in under a minute!” Ignoring Kuwabara’s retaliation to Hiei’s taunt Harry turned his attention to Kurama who had his eyes half shut as he held his wound closed.


Nudging Kurama’s head gently with his own to catch his attention, he gave a questioning look to the slightly pained and tired gaze, even as the other smiled at him and shook his head his red hair moving gracefully with the movement.


“Children do you mind saving it for the bad guys!” Looking up at Yusuke’s annoyed tone of voice both Kurama and Harry saw Kuwabara with his fist clenched shut ready to punch, the other holding Hiei’s cloak while the two of them glared furiously at each other. Yusuke then turned to Harry and Kurama his gaze enquiring.


“I guess now we go up the stairs.” Kurama nodded slightly from his resting place on Harry’s shoulder. Both turning to watch him they got the sensation of Youkai that was quickly regaining substance.


Harry still had a hold of the white rose in his free hand while in Kurama’s free hand he held his whip at the ready as he informed the others.


“It seems my fight is not over.” With a tremble of the creature’s body it slid back together, with only its head having to be put back on manually.


“Ha ha ha! Who’s dead? Not me. You can disassemble me all you like I’ll come back together every time. Actually that makes for a very nice attack!” And with that the creature began firing its body parts of stone at Kurama and Harry.


Looking out the corners of their eyes Harry and Kurama caught each others gaze. The agreement they had made earlier would now come into effect. With that Harry let go of Kurama’s arm and both of them attacked the creature at the same time.


The rest of the gang did not see what happened but the monster again fell apart and standing in front of where he had aimed two figures with whips now stood parallel to each other.


“Want to try again?” Ignoring the gangs words the two of them, after hearing the creatures words, glanced at each other after briefly before looking back at the earth elemental that had been reassembling the even smaller parts of his body.





(Hai. If we attack constantly the creature will have no strict target to attack. We can then look for a weakness and destroy it)





“Let’s end this! How would you like to be stoned to death?” It only took a second for the link to solidify itself as both of them turned to look round at the creature who was grinning mockingly. Then Genbu shot himself at the two Kitsunes again, this time in even smaller pieces.


Glancing at one another one last time with a minute nod, both Kurama and Harry sprang apart setting separate targets for the creature. Going after Kurama the creature was knocked aside by Harry’s handling of his whip and Kurama’s defensive maneuvering out the way of the attack.


Infuriated about his failed attack he went after Harry next and was again thwarted by the same tactic and again when going after Kurama. It was it this attack that Harry then noticed something red flashing in the moving rubble of the creature.





(Hai I saw it)


Again thwarting the creatures attack, it hurtled itself back at the black Kitsune who did not move this time drawing all its attention to him and not to what Kurama was doing instead. Flicking his whip he made sure most of the sharp pieces where cut apart before they ripped him in half as the Creatures rock particles flew past his immovable form.


At the same time Kurama went in the hail of rock from the side, he ignored the cries of the others at the side, as he grabbed the item both their sharp eyes had picked out. Once the creature had finished going past Kurama landed beside the kneeling form of Harry and helped him up both facing Genbu as he reassembled himself.


“You’re both not even fighting back now. Those blows must have made you insane.” A grin grew on Harry’s face as he began to snicker as Kurama laughed quietly at his side.


“Hai I’m sure of it! Now your laughing at nothing. W…wait how did you get on the ceiling?!” Harry was trying to hold back his laughter through his chocked snorts of amusement, but it was getting to be a bit much while the teens and Hiei all looked on in fascinated Horror.


“W…what’s wrong?!” And that did it the teens burst into laughter as Harry slid to the floor giggles erupting from his chest and even Hiei had a smirk upon his features.


“I’ve heard of brass balls before but come on!” Yusuke as crying with laughter along with Kuwabara.


“Hai! I’d like to see him use the toilet!” Kuwabara had to add his comment as well though it only set the two boys off again in bellows of laughter.


“Ahh! What did you do to me?!” Harry gave a bared teeth grin in a predatory smile, his ears up high as Kurama took his hand from behind his back, a glowing red stone in his palm. It was Harry who answered.


“We took that stone from you.” The creature did not seem to comprehend.


“Uhh? What’s that?” Kurama gave a cold smile as he explained.


“I believe this is the equivalent of the hypothalamus portion of your brain. It regulates all the functions of your body including the process of putting you back together.” The poor creature seemed so confused so Harry took up the post.


“It relays an energy signal so when you separate into different parts it makes it so that stone very easy to find.” Then the creature got it if the panic was anything to go by.


“You can’t do this! Give it back to me!” But Kurama was not going to be nice to one that wanted to kill him; with a toss of his hand a cold look on his face he brought his hand up, his whip at the ready.


“Give it back!”


“Farewell.” And with that Kurama sliced the rock in two finishing the fight once and for all.


Getting up Harry looked up at Kurama’s face and slid his arm back over his shoulders. Most of Kurama’s weight was now on Harry showing just how tired and painful the other must feel at this moment in time.


Walking carefully over to the steps Harry let the other slip off his shoulders onto the steps to rest. The green eyes of Kurama were slightly glazed over with tiredness, pain and plenty of emotion. Harry ran the tips of his knuckles over the cheek of Kurama to give some comfort and in return the Kitsune smiled up at him his gaze not as troubled.


“If Kurama is injured were going to have some problems.” Looking up at Hiei both Harry and Kurama smiled sheepishly and looked scarily alike in their expressions. Then Kurama turned slowly to Yusuke as Harry helped him back on his feet.


“I’m sorry Yusuke.” Yusuke Just grinned and gave a thumbs up quite happy with the job at hand.


“Nah you’ve earned yourself a break both of you.” Nodding Harry smiled while Kurama let himself rest on his feet a tired smile on his features.


“Hai I’ll handle the next one.” Kuwabara sounded confident and both of the Kitsune were too tired to do anything but be quiet and listen to the others speak.


Harry could feel Kurama laugh as they moved towards the stairs to the next floor.


(Perhaps it really all depends on the opponent he will face) They stopped and let Yusuke, Kuwabara and Hiei go first before they followed.





(…we will always have the pack.)

Extract: Here is a small part of what I am thinking of placing in the fic later on. Tell me if I should or not?


Startled by the sudden silence Harry looked up from the book he had been reading through and froze as he caught the Jaganshi’s gaze with his own.


Surprised by the fierce emotions showing in the red eyes that were normally guarded, his arm moved down to his side without him noticing, his body frozen in indecision if he should move or not under that unrelenting gaze.


Breath was taken in shakily as Hiei stepped forewords, prompting Harry to take one back to keep the distance between them.


This made a smirk appear on the Jagan wielders mouth as he purposely began to back the skittish Kitsune into a corner.


Harry’s ears by this time had lain partly back at the uncomfortable turn this situation had taken and immediately his mind turned to trying to figure a way out from the circumstances he did not know how he had gotten himself into.


Though it was through his inattentiveness of the surrounding area that did not alert him to the second body he was going to run into and he bumped into the other who was standing in his path.


He immediately stopped his eyes widening to immense proportions as he finally realised he had been trapped between the two.


Beginning to panic, his eyes still did not leave the Jaganshi’s red ones which were growing darker the closer the other came to him.


Clenching his claws Harry tried to edge out from the body behind him when he was stopped by two arms encircling around his chest, trapping his arms to his sides.


Eyes wider than before to their fullest proportions, he began to shake his instincts coming to the fore escape they whispered run, looking down he tried to pull away when one action made him go still, his instincts calming very slightly.


The figure behind him had pushed their nose into the crook of Harry’s neck and was lightly nuzzling red hair falling over his shoulder.


This was causing confusion in his body and in helplessness Harry closed his eyes his ears against his head.


Though when he felt knuckles lightly brush his cheek, he opened them again and took in the Jagan master, who was standing right in front of him.


His rationality coming back he realised the arms around him had loosened and he had only one chance.


Throwing himself foreword he broke the hold around him, running his tail between his legs, he darted straight out the room only glancing back his book mercilessly still within his grasp.


Eyes widening with a flush across his cheeks, he disappeared away from that one room and the two inhabitants Hiei and Kurama, wanting to gather his composure before facing the two Youkai again.
