A/N: Last chapter. Writing this was like pulling a teeth. Argh!
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho.

They landed on slope filled with reddish-brown rocks.
"The Inshi forest should be that way." Kurama pointed.
"What's Inshi forest?" Yusuke asked. "And why is it forbidden?"
"Inshi forest was… I suppose you could call it a Capitol of Kitsune. It had the largest population of Kitsune, among them some of the rarest clans…"
"Like white Kitsune?" Hiei asked.
"Yes."
"So it was your home?" Kuwabara asked.
"Yes."
"What happened to it?"
They reached the top.
yuyu
Black! It's Black!
…
No. It looks like it, but is not. It isn't methodical and clean like Black, it is just…
"Chaos."
yuyu
"My god, do we have to fight that?!"
"No. No one can fight it."
"But…"
"Don't worry, if we don't go too close, it shouldn't harm us."
"Where is the Ancient?"
"I do not know. That… thing disturbs my Jagan."
"Let's go over there. There should be a large field, much better for fighting."
"Yeauh!"
"Be careful not to fall. Chaos never returns its victims."
"Why do we even need to be here? I do not like it."
"To kill an Ancient, you heard Koenma,"
"But why?"
"They usually create much destruction before someone subdues them."
"But why us?"
"I suppose because we are the best."

My head feels funny. Chaotic, for the lack of the better word. I know I should clear my mind before the fight, but I just can't. I have a bad feeling…
It isn't only because my death. I already accepted it. But now I'm worried that I won't be the only one dying…

They reached the field. It was more of a plateau, a flat piece of land in the middle of the mountains, so high that Chaos could not reach it. The land was gray, rocks of various sizes and shades of gray littered across it. And then there were some other things, which looked like burnt and fossilized trees, but none of theme where full. Only roots and branches, some fallen trunks.
"That chaos-thing did it?" asked Yusuke.
"No," Kurama answered. "Every time Chaos spreads, some Ancients come with it. This was a work of one of them."
"I can see why we need to kill it," Hiei gave the field a calculating look. "It looks too uneven, are sure that it's the best place to fight?"
"Better than mountains, I suppose. At least we won't have far to fall."
"How are we going to get the Ancient to come to us?" Kuwabara wondered.
"We wait. Ancients are attracted to life, and we are pretty much only alive things in this area."
yuyu
…I can feel it. It has noticed us. And now it's approaching…

It was huge and black and seemed to be covered with thick fur. As it got closer, the fighters got to their positions.
"Remember, we have to attack it at the same time, form all sides," said Kurama. "Or it will get unnecessary dangerous."
"Yeah, we KNOW it, Kurama," said Yusuke, "You only told us that hundred times."
"Well make it hundred and one, I have no interest of losing any my friends here."
"Sorry, man, I'm just nervous."
"Don't be," said Hiei. "It will make you careless."
"You know, shrimp," said Kuwabara. "Normal people say "Don't be, it will be alright"."
"Who ever said I was normal?" Hiei raised his eyebrows.
"Good one, Hiei." Yusuke smirked.
yuyu
…This is it…
…
… I don't want to die…

The Ancient hits the plant wall Kurama has grown, efficiently smashing it. Hiei jumps at his back to cut of its head.
"Hiei, watch out!"
Its fur starts to climb up Hiei's legs.
"What the fuck is that?!" Slashing it.
Kuwabara stabs the Ancients leg. "Let him go!"
Hiei keeps slashing the fur. Cuts trough it. Loses his balance and falls. "Hiei!" Kurama runs by his side.
"Kuwabara, get away!" Yusuke hits it with his spirit bullet. Touching Ancients fur, it explodes into tiny particles. "Damn it!"
Hiei gets up, back to fighting stage. Limping.
"What now?"
"Going after its eyes?"
Nods.
Kurama rises other plants he has planted on the field. They tangle around Ancient's legs. Fur starts fighting it.
Kurama, Hiei and Kuwabara start slashing it.
Yusuke sends spirit wave at Ancient's head. "Can't aim, it moves its head too much!"
Hiei and Kuwabara get at Ancient's back Hiei and Kurama slash the fur attacking them. Kuwabara crabs its head. "Shoot!"
"Are you insane?!"
"NOW, Yusuke!"
Yusuke shoots. Kuwabara and Hiei jump down. Kurama slashes the fur trying to hold them down.
Ancient absorbs spirit bullet. And it stills.
"What the…?"
Ancient starts convulsing.
"I think we should get away..."
Everybody run.
Ancient explodes. The Black what was its fur flies. It hits them. Attacks them.
It hits Yusuke's his right arm. He gathers energy to his arm to blow it off.
It hits Kurama's hair. He grows seeds in his hair to cut it of.
It hits Hiei's legs. He raises his temperature to burn it of.
It hits Kuwabara at the back of his head. He stops.
He is surrounded by the pools of Black. Slowly getting closer to him. Forming larger pools.
"Kuwabara! Don't just stand there! MOVE!"
The Black at his nape flows down his back.
"Kuwabara!"
Yusuke's spirit bullet does nothing but splatter the Black. He is surrounded now.
"Yusuke, no, you'll only die too!"
"Get off me, Kurama!"
The Black starts flowing up his legs and around his torso. Hiei's dragon burns the Black off on the ground but to him it feels like a warm gust.
The Black flows into his mouth, nose, eyes.

Kazuma Kuwabara is dead.

… I can't write fight scenes. And I forget how Yusuke's... thing is called. I mean, the attack is called spirit gun, but the thing coming out of his finger is… spirit bullet?
Anyway, I want to know how long it took for you to realise who is the main character. And who (and when) were your main suspects?
And a big question: What do you think about my writing style(s)?
PS. As much as I know, "Inshi" is just a random arrangement of letters in my head.
PSS. "Kitsune" in my mind means "fox-demon". (Imagine that the guys use the appropriate demon language term instead of it.)

Oh my god I actually finished it!! *Does happy dance*
