I do not own YYH, or its characters. However, Yoshihiro Togashi owns Yu Yu Hakusho, and its characters.
Enjoy.
The sun seemed to shine more brightly over Japan than it had ever shined before. Then again, you don't graduate every day. Yusuke was lounging on his favorite sandy beach, the one his friends liked to call "The Beach of Memory," right behind Genkai's temple, and although she usually preferred to relax in her dojo undisturbed, and uninterrupted, she made an exception, just for today. It was wonderful weather for a day at the beach. The sand was toasty, birds fluttering, and the wind offering gentle breezes every now and then. Yusuke let the sun's rays warm his body, which was quite muscular, and very well toned for someone his age. He had on a pair of black and blue swim trunks that Botan got him while shopping downtown about a week ago. She exclaimed they would look "Just dashing," on him. Yusuke's eyelids grew heavy, consciousness drifting further and further away.
"C'mon Urameshi, scared of a little seawater?" Kuwabara grinned.
Yusuke sat up, rubbing his eyes, and began to peer out at the inviting, azure waters of the ocean. He saw Kurama doing a half-hearted backstroke, but going at a very speedy pace. Nothing surprising, especially from the valedictorian of Subishime High School. Hiei, was in his infamous jet black cloak, and white headband covering his Jagan eye, atop a lone palm tree a couple of meters away.
"I'll give you something to be scared of smartass." Yusuke remarked, light-heartedly, jumping headfirst into the ocean. The water felt better than Yusuke thought it would be, not too cold anyway. Yusuke tried hard, but couldn't think of a more perfect day in his life. Who would have thought that a couple of dead-beats like him and Kuwabara would ever get a diploma? Who would have thought he'd be living like a normal teenager (well, one that hung out with, and killed demons) just a few years after becoming Koenma's spirit detective?
"Hey twerp why don't you come in?" asked Kuwabara. Hiei suddenly felt three pairs of eyes on him.
"I don't want to." Hiei countered patronizingly.
"Yeesh, so mopey," Kuwabara muttered lowly under his breath.
"Don't make me cut you," Hiei scoffed, hopping down from the comfort of his tree branch.
"So, Kuwabara, is Shizuru enjoying herself?" Kurama asked, changing the subject before the two could quarrel any further. Shizuru decided to take a trip to New York City, in the United States for a few weeks. She thought Keiko could use a nice mini-vacation.
"Yeah, they called yesterday night. They went to see some Broadway show or something…I forget."
Yusuke averted his eyes to the sand. His stupid ass was the whole reason for this little trip to "anywhere-Yusuke-and-his-gang-are-not-land." Her rant near her father's ramen shop was hard to forget.
"Yusuke…all this fighting…all these demons…I'm scared Yusuke…it makes me worry, but it makes me worry about you more...I think…I think we should stay away from each other a little while…Take care of yourself please Yusuke, I know you're strong…but anything can happen…Don't you die on me or I'll kill you…Bye."
Well whatever, no point in dwelling on it.
"It would appear we have company." Kurama said, awaking Yusuke from his trance.
"Yusuke."
When Yusuke looked up he saw a tall, chestnut haired man, dressed in blue and brown traditional Japanese clothing, with the words 'JR.' plastered on his forehead, and a light blue pacifier in his mouth.
Whenever I'm enjoying myself he always pops up. Always something. Do this Yusuke, save that Yusuke. Such a pain in the ass.
"So much for fun, what do you want binkie breath?" Yusuke teased, the now annoyed Koenma.
"How clever," Koenma said in a strained voice, "But there's a problem. A large portal connecting the human world to demon world has appeared. My father managed to seal it off, but many A class demons slipped through. We don't know who opened it, or how, but it seems to be gone for good."
"So you want us to kick some tail right?" Kuwabara asked defiantly.
"I'm sure you all can handle them," Koenma continued, "But Father says their spiritual pressure feels odd, so he told me to bring some reinfor-"
"HOWS IT GOIN' MATES?"
Chu, with Rinku on his shoulder began sprinting down the stairs of Genkai's temple to greet the former spirit detective, Touya walking casually behind them. Yusuke smiled, and ran over to greet his friends from the Dark Tournament.
"Woowee if it idn't me favorite sparrin' partner Urameshi."
A surprised Yusuke looked up to see Jin the wind master hovering above his head. Yusuke laughed. I can still barely understand him. Yusuke's fight with Jin left a lasting impression on him. The only fight that felt fun. Only Jin could make him laugh during a life or death tournament.
"Heya Jin." Yusuke grinned.
Jin continued to hover. He was a red-haired demon with a small horn jutting out the top of his head. Yusuke couldn't help but smile looking at Jin. He was always having fun. Even here, just sitting here talking the assignment at hand gave Jin an irremovable look of curiosity, alongside a pair of twitching ears. Jin was a bit more muscular than Yusuke, and a bit taller…at least Yusuke thought he was taller. He was never on the ground long enough for Yusuke to compare.
"The portal opened near the forest, King Enma estimates there are at least 10 demons in the area. Koenma stated.
"So you don't have any more information other than that?" Hiei asked. Koenma shook his head.
Koenma cleared his throat. "The last thing we need is the city to think demons have come to town to wreak havoc on innocent civilians, so I'm counting on you guys to make sure Jin, Touya, Chu, and Rinku keep a low profile. I have paperwork to do, so discuss the living arrangements amongst yourselves." As fast as he came Koenma vanished.
"What the hell. In just 5 minutes we became baby-sitters." Kuwabara pouted. Rinku just smiled.
"I'm going to go have a look at the forest. I'll make sure none of them make their way to the city." Hiei said, giving a wave goodbye before dashing off.
"This place is cool." Rinku said, gazing out at the water. Chu, Touya, and Jin nodded in agreement.
"I wish we could come here everyday, but Genkai would get pretty pissed." Kuwabara grinned.
"She still kickin? She's a tough one ain't she?" Chu asked.
"She's very strong willed. She doesn't seem to care what anyone thinks of her, and she certainly doesn't mind speaking her mind." Kurama added.
The group agreed on staying at the beach a little longer. Chu waded in the water, with Rinku atop his shoulders. Yusuke and Kuwabara rough-housed in the water, taking turns dunking the other's head underwater in hopes one would admit defeat. It never happened. Kurama rested in the sand along with Touya, whose pale skin was becoming a light shade of pink. Jin happily skimmed across the water, enjoying looking down at his reflection.
Chu hopped out of the water after a while, and began to drink out of his cask, breathing deeply.
Kurama smirked. "I don't know if we'll have more trouble with the demons or with you four. I'm sure I can tell my mother I'm having a friend staying with us for a little while, but my mother would be very displeased if anyone drank."
Chu frowned. "Aw come on we just like to have a lil' bit of fun!"
"I would like to see how humans live like in the Ningenkai," Touya thought aloud. "I'd be happy to stay with you Kurama." Touya beamed.
"Well I would ask to stay with Kuwabara but I bet he's still mad I kicked his butt in the tournament." Rinku added.
"You cheated you little punk and you know it. I don't care who comes to my place. My sis is out so it's no big deal." Kuwabara said.
"Then me and my little buddy will stay with ya mate." Chu offered.
"Urameshi can I come to your place? I'll be quieter than a mouse yessiree, ya won't even know I'm there!"
"Uh…sure Jin." Yusuke muttered
"Alright lets go Urameshi, lickity split, the sun'll be goin down soon and I don't want to be fumblin' round the dark all night."
Yusuke looked over at the horizon. The sky had melted into a mix of purple and orange. His friends had been there a while.
"Sure. See you guys later."
Yusuke dressed and made his was toward his house, with the wind master close behind.
