Tori: Saria doesn't own Yu Yu Hakusho...

SA: And she never will!

Saria: But the female Yusuke is my creation.

DARK DECISION, HIDDEN SECRETS

Yusuke laughed as she watched Kuwabara make a fool of

himself as he tried to describe Yukina to his curious

friends. Just a few days ago they had rescued Yukina

from Tarukanea and the Toguro brothers. They had

returned Yukina to the ice world on her request

immediately, and Kuwabara had been sullen at first

when they got back, but he seemed fine now.

Yusuke shook her head, her real face hidden by the

boy mask that she used to hide her identity, and

surpressed another snicker as she began to walk away.

Kuwabara, oddly enough, noticed her leaving and moved

to follow.

Things were odd now, especially since Kuwabara was

now aware of her secret that she was a female. He had

grabbed her by the shirt during the last mission and

in what was probably his smartest moment ever, had

kept his big mouth shut. That brought the number of

people who knew that Yusuke was a girl up Koenma,

Botan, Kurama, Hiei, Genkai, and now Kuwabara. She

doubted that her mom remembered she had a daughter,

she was so boozed up all the time.

Yusuke sighed inwardly and continued her way through

the shopping area that she used as a short cut home,

noting that all the shop owners went out of their way

to stand in front of their doors to insure that she

knew she wasn't welcome in their stores. She couldn't

help but laugh when she noticed that even the owner of

the pet supply shop had parked it in front of the

door, what could she possibly do with little squeaky

toys?

Yusuke was so wrapped up in her thoughts, she didn't

notice the black car or the motorcycle that were

following her.

---------------------

That night, after kicking her mother's cross-dressing

friends out of the apartment, pounding one into a

bloody pulp for attempting to grope her, cleaning the

place a little, and eating a bowl of ramen, Yusuke got

ready for bed.

Pulling of her that she constantly wore anymore, she

gave her long pink hair a quick brush before pulling

on a pair of yellow pajamas. After giving the

apartment a quick once over to insure that if the CPA

pulled a surprise search they'd pass, Yusuke climbed

into her futon. It had been a long day.

---------------------

Outside however, another black car, almost Hummer

size, had pulled up in front of the apartment. A dark

figure opened the side door and climbed out of the

vehicle followed closely by another.

"Are you sure about this?" the second fiugre asked.

"Quite," the first replied.

"Fine, I'll back you up by coming from the other

side." said the second.

"Good, make sure no one leaves," the first said as he

began to trek up the stairs toward the third floor and

Yusuke's apartment.

---------------------

Yusuke suddenly found herself awake, a horrible

feeling of foreboding seemed to hover in the air,

making it heavier than normal. A glance around the

room told her that the danger wasn't in here, and

something inside her said that the danger wasn't in

the apartment, but it was present and it was

approaching.

Jumping out of her futon, Yusuke made for the door,

completely forgetting about her mask until she was

half way to the entrance way.

she

thought as her hand reached for the door knob.

Then her blood turned to ice as a knock landed on the

door, announcing that the danger had arrive.

Aren't I cruel?
