Kyouka Ankoku Strenthing Darkness Chapter 1: Invitation, a yu yu hakusho fanfic

Kyouka Ankoku (Strenthing Darkness)
1 [Invitation]

Her short orange hair went a little past her shoulders and blew gracefully in the wind. Her bangs were long on one side, with two streaks of blonde colored bangs going down the front. She wore a red turtleneck shirt, black leather flares, black platform boots and black trenchcoat. She put a hand in her pocket as she looked up at the dark school building before her.

The city clock struck midnight and the dark clouds in the sky began to part. Beams of the full moon shown down from the sky and onto the world below. The orange haired girl just looked emotionlessly at the school building for a few more seconds. A strong gust of wind swept through the city, causing several trees to lose their leaves. In a flash of red light, the orange haired girl disappeared leaving nothing behind.

The next morning, Yusuke sat on the school roof. He leaned against the wire metal fence, looking up at the clear blue sky. He was too deep in thought to notice Keiko approaching him. She looked down at Yusuke before sitting down next to him.

"You okay?" Keiko asked, looking at Yusuke.

"Hn? Yeah. I was just thinking." Yusuke answered, glancing at Keiko then looking at the sky.

"About what?" Keiko asked, moving closer to Yusuke.

"I'm just wondering how the others are doing." Yusuke replied. "You know. Kurama, Hiei, Koenma and Botan. It's been almost a year since we last saw each other."

"I'm sure they're doing fine." Keiko answered happily.

Yusuke looked at Keiko, who was still smiling happily at him. Yusuke placed a hand on Keiko's face, causing her to blush slightly. Gradually, Yusuke drew closer to Keiko's face. Keiko closed her eyes, patiently waiting for Yusuke's kiss. Just as their lips were about to touch, a puff of smoke appeared.

"YUSUKE!!" Shouted Botan, throwing the two lovers of balance.

"DAMN IT BOTAN!!" Yusuke shouted as he sat up. "CAN'T YOU SEE I'M BUSY HERE?!"

"There's no time for that now!" Botan shouted, reaching into her kimono sleeve.

Botan held out a white envelope to Yusuke. At first, Yusuke just looked at it. He pouted and snatched the envelope from Botan's hand. Keiko moved closer to Yusuke and watched him open it. Yusuke reached into the envelope and removed a small piece of paper.

"What is it?" Keiko asked, looking at the paper.

"Apparently it's an inviation." Botan answered, putting her hands on her hips.

"An invitation to what?" Yusuke asked, looking up at Botan.

"A confrontation." Botan replied.

Yusuke read it over for a little while longer. He flipped it over to the blank side then looked at the front of the envelope.

"Who's it from?" Yusuke asked, putting the envelope and paper down.

"Akujin." Botan replied, a worried look on her face.

"Akujin?" Keiko asked, looking at Botan a bit confused.

"Back before Raizen ruled the Demon Realm, the 'Dark King' controlled everything." Botan explained. "Before passing over to an imbodiment of pure light, the 'Dark King' seeked out for someone to rule the Demon Realm. Raizen was one of them, but Akujin wouldn't let him take over."

Raizen and Akujin faced one another. The two Youkai's clashed in a flash of white light. Something happened and Akujin was sent flying back. He lay on the ground, injured, mangled and close to death. Raizen looked down at him, before walk off.

"At that time, Akujin was only a Class A Demon. Raizen was still very strong and took over the Demon Realm." Botan continued. "Akujin saw this as unjust and seeked revenge on Raizen. He trained long and hard, eventually becoming a Class S Demon. But because Raizen is dead, he intends on exacting his revenge on you Yusuke."

"Why Yusuke?" Keiko asked worried.

"Because Yusuke is the descendent of Raizen." Botan answered.

Keiko looked at Yusuke, worried.

"Yusuke..." Keiko trailed.

"Hmm...so this guy as a grudge against my ancestor huh?" Yusuke asked, picking up the little piece of paper in his hand.

Yusuke crumbled the paper in his hand, shocking Botan.

"Why should I care?" Yusuke asked. "He's after my ancestor not me."

"Yusuke!" Botan shouted in shock.

"Besides, I like the type of life I'm living right now." Yusuke answered as he rose to his. "You tell that Akujin guy to piss off. I'm done fighting."

Keiko raises to her feet and watches Yusuke leave.

"Yusuke!" Keiko shouted to him.

Yusuke didn't look back as he left the rooftop and descended to the classrooms. Keiko looked at Botan and noticed the worried look in her eyes. Botan knelt down, picking up the crumbled paper and envelope.

"What's going to happen Botan?" Keiko asked, a bit worried.

"I...don't know Keiko." Botan answered, looking at her.

The door slid open and a female figure stood in the doorway. It was the same orange haired girl that had been standing on the streets the night before. She still wore the same outfit as before, but her hair was tied back into a tight ponytail.

"Did the boy get the invitation?" Asked a voice from the darkness.

"He did. But he didn't except it." The orange haired girl replied as she walked towards the only lit spot in the room.

"I tried doing it the nice way, but now it seems I'll have to use force." Replied the voice.

The girl stood in the lit area, putting her hands in her pockets.

"Numata, go and find the one closest to the boy." Answered the voice. "Bring them here. Leave him a note that states if he doesn't come to my little confrontation, we'll kill his little friend."

Numat nodded and headed towards the door.

"Let's see just how worthy your descendent is, Raizen." Spoke the voice as a pair of eyes flashed red in the darkness.
