Part 1- The Monster Within
It's been four months since the Dark Ones has taken over the three worlds. Yusuke and the others are on a mission to capture a demon Ginton, a shapeshifting humanoid demon that escape during the Dark Ones' reign. Ginton is running very fast with Yusuke and Kuwabara behind him. Ginton shape shifts into a human to get Yusuke and Kuwabara off his track. Kuwabara however feels his energy and he goes toward Ginton. Ginton laughs at Kuwabara being the one to chase him.
"I can not believe that the weakest of the bunch is after me…oh." Ginton retorts laughing hard.
"I am not weak, Ginton!" Kuwabara tells him annoyed pulling out his Dimension Sword.
"Your Dimension Sword doesn't work on me, I am a shapeshifter I can change into anything."
"My sword can cut through dimensions. It can beat Seaman at his best, cut Itsuki's monster in half and it can hurt you!"
"Ha ha ha, weakling human, that's why your friends didn't want you to go to Demon World. " Ginton says slyly as he continues to explains to Kuwabara. "Besides a half demon and two demons have a human sidekick that's a punching bag."
Kuwabara gets angry as he slices Ginton with the Dimension Sword. Ginton dodges all of the attacks. Kuwabara is getting angrier as he keeps on swinging at Ginton. Ginton to kicks Kuwabara in the back. Ginton keeps taunting Kuwabara about other things such as how he can't protect Yukina, his friends deem him weak, and how he lost in the dark tournament so much making Kuwabara angrier and angrier. What Kuwabara and Ginton didn't know is that Kuwabara's spirit energy is turning black and looks like lightning. Kuwabara suddenly falls down in pain. Ginton tries to take the chance to stomp Kuwabara. What happens next shocks Ginton as a shadow like creature grabs Ginton with its claws. Ginton looks and sees the glowing red eyes. Ginton shakes frighten as he screams as the shadow creature roars loudly. The roar gets Yusuke, Kurama and Hiei's attention. They hear a roar and it resonates loudly in the opposite direction the three are going. Yusuke, Kurama and Hiei run in the direction of the roar. They get there and they see Kuwabara passed out and they notice Ginton has disappeared.
"Where the hell did that crazy ass shapeshifter go?" Yusuke asks looking around.
"I Don't know and I don't sense him." Kurama answers as he is looking around the vicinity.
"Detective, let's get Kuwabara back to Human World.." Hiei says to Yusuke. "We should find Ginton afterwards.
"Right." Yusuke says seriously. "Damn it, Kuwabara, you're so damn heavy."
Yusuke picks up Kuwabara and they take him back home. The next day, Kuwabara wakes as he looks around he notices that he is in his room. He notices he's not where he and Ginton was fighting at. Kuwabara sits up on his bed and he yawns. He gets up and he goes to his living room and he sees his sister. Shizuru sees him and hugs her brother as she smacks him upside his head.
"Shizuru! That hurts what's the big deal." Kuwabara yells out annoyed to his sister.
"I was worried, Kazuma, I didn't think you would wake up." Shizuru says seriously.
"I'm ok."
"Here's breakfast, Kazuma."
"Thanks, sis."
"Welcome."
Shizuru leaves out of the living room. Kuwabara eats his breakfast. He hears a knock at his door. He answers and it's Yusuke at the door. Yusuke comes in as he and Kuwabara sit in Kuwabara's room and start to talk.
"You feel ok." Yusuke asks Kuwabara seriously.
"Yeah, I'm ok." Kuwabara answers back in the same tone.
"Hey, I'm sorry to tell you, but you can't go on mission til you feel better."
"It's ok, Urameshi, I don't think I could go anyway. I still feel a little weak."
"Ok, I'll help you out." Yusuke says as helps Kuwabara into bed. He leaves out of Kuwabara's room. He waves goodbye to Shizuru. Yusuke leaves to go home Shizuru closes the door behind him.
It turn to night as Kuwabara is asleep dreaming. In his dream, he is with Yukina. They are eating on a picnic until Kuwabara is in pain. Yukina is worried as Kuwabara starts transform into the shadow creature that attacked Ginton. He sees Yukina scream, but doesn't hear it. He is shocked awake. He is sweating and breathing hard in his bed. Kuwabara is worried about what he seen in his dream. He didn't know what was going on.
"What the hell was that?" Kuwabara asks himself worried. "I was dreaming of Yukina and then I was a monster. What's going on with me?"
Kuwabara gets up from his bed. He goes to grabs his school outfit and puts it on. He gets out of his room. He goes out the door without waking his sister up. He starts walking toward Yusuke's house. Kuwabara continues to walk until he is stopped by headache. He starts to sweating, breathing hard, and he doubles over. His bones start to crack causing him groan loudly in pain. His hands start to gain long claws as they morph into tiger like paws with claws that are black. His feet start to grow and busts out of his shoes turning into more tiger like paws. Like his hands, his legs start morph into tiger like legs. Sharp canines start to grow in his mouth causing his face to morph into a tiger like with less fur around the jaw area with more canines appearing. His ears morph into more tiger like ears. His nose becomes more cat-like and his hair starts to turn black and get shorter. His eyes disappear. His skin turns into silver like fur color gains tiger like stripes plus a tiger tail. He roars and runs into the darkness. It is the next day and Kuwabara is in his bed without his shirt on. His pants were partly ripped like Hulk's. Kuwabara wonders how he got back home.
"What happened? All I remember was me in pain and I ended up here." Kuwabara says to himself looking around. He asks himself. "What is going on with me?
He goes out of his room. He goes toward his living room. He looks in his living room he sees his friends there talking to Botan. Everyone notices Kuwabara. Yusuke motions for him to sit down. Kuwabara goes to sit down by Yusuke. Botan clears her throat as she continues to talk.
"Well, you all have another mission, it seems there was an attack last night by a cat like creature on some human beings who were out last night." Botan explains telling more details of what happened. "All the people that could describe the cat creature said it had silver fur and it had a large body like a… what is the lion and tiger hybrid called?"
"A Liger or Tigon, I believe." Kurama answers giving Botan some help.
"Yes, one of those two, Koenma suspects it's a demon at work." Botan says continuing to explain the situation.
"Well, we better find this demon before it attacks someone else." Yusuke says seriously. "Are you up for it, Kuwabara?"
"Yeah, Urameshi, I'll help, I feel better than I did a yesterday." Kuwabara replies going to his room and putting on a simple t-shirt and jeans. The spirit detectives go out to find the monster that attacks the two people at night.
