Spirit Foxes {YuYuHakushoFanfic}

|Four Saint Beasts 6|

      The four of us run up multiple flights of stairs only for there to be more cultivated humans coming our way. Hiei and I slash at them first then Kurama and Kuwabara. We stop at the next case of stairs in front of us that even more come out like cockroaches.

       "This blows! By the time we get through all these weirdos, we'll be too tired to help Urameshi!" Kuwabara exclaims and I sigh, trying to think of how to go through them more quickly.

      "Tired hands are better than none," Kurama tells Kuwabara and Hiei steps forward.

      "Do what you like. I'm not stopping." Hiei mentions and instantly starts hacking down the cultivated. Kurama and I follow right after him. I bring my scythe down on multiple cultivated humans, cutting them in half, and continue going forward.

      "Wait up you guys!" Kuwabara exclaims behind us.

      "Meyome couldn't you use your voice techniques!"

      "Sadly, no, Kurama! I've tried it once back then!" I answer, Hiei looks at me weirdly as I strike down three more cultivated humans.

      "And I thought you had more taste, Meyome." Hiei comments, giving me a sly look and I deadpan.

      "Ha, ha, very funny."

      We continue running up the stairs that lead us to an open spiral staircase that big webs hold in place.

      "There aren't that many stairs left!" I exclaim happily but we all instantly stop when Suzaku's thunder shakes the walls once again.

      "The biggest eruption by far. Suzaku is getting desperate!" Kurama mentions and my anxiety spikes.

      "That attack surely killed one of them." Hiei comments and a bead of sweat go down my cheek.

      It's likely.... No, I have faith Yusuke will make it.

      "Let's assume for now Yusuke is not dead. We should-." Thunder interrupts me again and shakes the whole tower. Kurama grabs my hand and pulls me next to him as the stairs in front of us crumble. The rest of the stairs crumble away from the tower walls except for the section we were on.

      "Now what are we going to do?" Kuwabara asks helplessly and the roof shakes the debris to fall. Our section of the stairs starts to shake. I look up to see the slab to the doorway intact.

      "Hiei, the stone slab above!"

      "I'm way ahead of you," Hiei answers me, throwing his sword towards the slab. It embeds itself in the center of the stone. Kurama lets go of my hand and grab a small vine from his hair. It instantly grows in his hand and instantly snaps it towards Hiei's sword, wrapping itself around the blade.

      "Needles to say hold on tight," Kurama mentions and starts climbing up the vine. Hiei grabs the vine and we see Kurama make it to the top, he starts climbing up.

      "Uh, are you sure it'll hold me up?"

      "It will Kuwabara, just don't look down," I reassure him, he nods and reaches for the vine once Hiei reaches the top. Clumsily, Kuwabara gets on the vine and starts climbing. I grab onto the vine and wait for Kuwabara to get to the top but the stairs begin to shake under my feet.

      "Meyome!" Kurama exclaims as the stairs erode even more under me. Sweat goes down my neck when I notice Kuwabara is only halfway up.

      "Screw it!" I jump onto the vine instantly making it sway and Kuwabara starts freaking out at the sudden movement. I look up to see Kuwabara's panicked face and Kurama's relieved expression.
