Kurama had been waiting in the room he entered, knowing his team mates had failed and worrying for their lives. Then he heard a tapping from down the hall, like footsteps. He sighed and got up off the wall in which he had been leaning against. That's when Rika appeared in the cavern doorway. She stopped and looked hard at him. Then she threw something on the floor that slid to his feet. It was the silver heart-shaped pocket watch and locket. Kurama picked it up and looked at it. Then when he looked up at Rika she had brought her claws up to facing him as she glared hard at him. "You little worm...you bastard! You intentially put me their in that living hell and you expect me to ever forgive you!?" she yelled. "I relized that you wouldn't be able to forgive me...I hope you realize that currently I'M not Youko." Kurama said. "That's right, you may not look like him....but your a parasite and hid in the body of a human boy. How low can you get?" Rika said through the grit of her teeth. Kurama closed his eyes and slightly smiled, "I guess that's true....taking the body of another just to save myself...At the time I didn't realize-" "A life for a life. Tipical of you to think that way.....Take a life to save a life. You know what I think? I think you should have just gone to hell." Rika said putting her hand to her hip. Kurama noticed that she had lowered her defences and took that oppertunity. He managed to get behind her and restrained her so she couldn't shoot her nails. "Stop this now, Rika!" He commanded. "NO! I SAID I WOULD HAVE MY REVENGE AND I WILL HAVE IT!!" Rika screamed. "Listen. truely I don't want you to be in more truble then you are now, but if you stop this nonsence now and I can assure that-AHH!" he was throne back as Rika escaped his grasp. Then she pointed her claws at him again, "Assure what!? That I can get locked away again! I REFUSE TO GO BACK THERE! You have no idea what they did to me..." She said. Kurama only frowned and looked at her. Then she unsheathed her swords and galred at him. Then she charged and Kurama quickly took out his Rose Whip and blocked her attacks with it. Then he managed to wrap his whip around the blades of her swords, "If I must fight then I will!" he shouted as he removed his whip form her swords and slashed it at her. She jumped to dodge, but got cut on her arm. Then she dodged again as Kurama came after her with the whip again. Then she landed on her feet and came after him this time. She slashed with her swords several times cutting him. Kurama stopped to look at himself, he was rather cut up. Kurama now went back on the offensive and cast his whip at her a few times. She attempted to dodge, but the whip seemed to be everywhere and she got cut a few times. Rika panted a little and so did Kurama. "This is boring. I WANT A REAL BATTLE FROM MY BROTHER!!" Rika yelled and she snapped her fingers and smoke rose from under her feet and also from under Kurama.
 That's when Kuwabara, Yusuke, and Hiei came in. They weren't dead afterall. "What's going on!?" Kuwabara asked, looking at the smoke. "I dunno, but something tells me it isn't good!" Yusuke said. "No duh you idiots. There's a pulsing amount of demonic energy comming from that area." Hiei said.

    As the smoke cleared, two beings stood that shooked the three. Rika had fox ears with a white tip and a fox tail with a white tip. She had big light blue phoenix wings and cat claws. She the fangs of a wolf, too. She had big, red eyes with cat-like, blue slited pupils. Last, she had two horizontial blue lines on each cheek.
    Kurama had turned into his Youko form, "That smoke was transformation spell." he said with his enchanting voice. "I see you've done your homework." Rika said in a raspy, girl demonic voice, "Now that you know of my spells, I GUESS I SHOULD TEST THEM OUT!!" She shouted having an aura surround her claw and the ground beneith Youko and he was able jump away but then the rocks that had lifted from the ground came down upon Youko. The rocks flew at him as he ran and dodged. Rika laughed, "Evade as much as you like, it'll do you no good!" Then she thrust her hands up and the rocks flew into the air, then came down on Youko. Rika laughed at the site of her brother getting crushed. Then she stopped and her eyes widened when the rock suddenly lifted. Youko held the rock above his head, then tossed it to the side, “If you wish to defeat me you’ll have to do better.” “Guess I shall…” Rika mumbled, then thrust her claw at him and fire shot from her claw at Youko. He managed to dodge a little, but his leg caught fire. He struggled to put it out, and when he finally did he turned to see another round of fire coming at him. He jumped up out of the way. The moment he landed, Rika threw more fire attacks at him. At times he couldn’t even land on his own two feet before being attacked again. He got burned several times on his arms, legs, and torso. Then Rika managed to hit him on his knee when she used an earth spell to throw a brigade of rocks at him at top speed. Youko fell hard to the ground as Rika snickered. She was hovering in the air with her hands on her hips, "I thought you'de be much strounger. Guess I was wroung." she sighed. Youko pushed himself up and wipped blood from his mouth, "I'm not through yet." Rika shruged, "Ah, guess not...Doesn't matter, your still weak." she smirked. Youko glared and threw his hand on the ground. Then vines burst up from the ground beneith Rika. Before she could react she was tightly wrapped in the vines. She struggled to get free, but it was no use. Youko walked a few feet in front of her, "You were always determaided as a child. Always sticking to what you set your sights on. It seems you still are." "Shut up!!" Rika shouted, still struggling. Then she stopped and her head drooped down. Suddenly an aura began to form around her and her hair began to float up. Then the aura became stronger as she lifted her head and looked to the side, "CLAW OF THE DARKNESS FLAME!!" she yelled as her claw ripped through and up the vines. She landed on her feet and her claw was surrounded by black fire. Her red eyes glared hard at Youko as she slowly looked up at him. Then she charged at him. Youko jumped out of the way, but not much as he felt a rush of pain shoot up his wounded leg. He tripped and nearly fell as Rika just missed him and hit the wall. The resulting exploation knocked them both back. Youko fell to the ground as Rika flipped and landed on her feet. Rika was breathing hard as she glared still at him.

   The team had been watching from the sides the entire time, "Man, Kurama's getting beaten..." Yusuke said with a bit of a tremble in his voice. "Yeah, even in his foxself..." Kuwabara said. "Apparently the girl's a lot stronger then he expected." Hiei smirked. "HEY! WHO'S SIDE YA ON ANYWAY, SHORT STUFF!?" Kuwabara yelled at him. "Why don't you figer that out for yourself, if you can." Hiei said, closing his eyes and turning his head away with a smirk. “Why you little! I OUTTA-huh?” Kuwabara’s attention was drawn back to the fight as Rika used a spell to have the ceiling collapse on top of Youko. She panted hard for a moment, then took a step back, thinking he was finished. Then she looked at the team, “Your like cockroaches…you never know when to die.” Then gasped when she heard a rumble coming from the pile of ruble where Youko was. Rage flew through her as she saw Youko standing from the pile, “You need to learn new tricks.” Then she screamed I anger and shot out a wave of fire from her hands at him. He jumped out of the way, then ran at her as she served out more blasts. Then he appeared behind Rika, “This is over.” and hit her over the head, hard. She fell to the ground, unconscious.

The other immediately ram over to him when they thought it was over. Kuwabara looked at her cautiously, “Is she-?” “No, just unconscious.” Youko interrupted, “I hope…” he whispered to himself. Then Youko closed his eyes, “It appears my time is done…” then he transformed back into his human self just as Rika did. The Kurama looked down at her and picked her up. He turned to the group, “I’m sure Koenma’s going to wish to deal with her punishment. Someway it seems that would be better then death for her.” He began to walk out. “Yeah, just because she’s your sister you give her special treatment.” Kuwabara mumbled and Yusuke elbowed him in the side. “WHAT! It’s true!!” Kuwabara yelled at Yusuke. “Why don’t you save your comments for later you idiot.” Hiei glared and so did Yusuke, then they walked out after Kurama. Kuwabara blinked, “HEY WAIT UP!!” He shouted and ran to them.
