I've got like a million ideas for fics goin' through my head right now and they're all distracting me from A Little Misunderstanding and A Sister's Search, so I'm going to try and get some out to see if that helps.

This starts the day after episode #94 Topside. Hiei has just smashed Chapter Black, and left the forest.

These characters are not what I would call OCs, they are villains. Since Yusuke has beaten all of his enemies, it would be kinda dull if we brought them back for a second helping of whoop-ass now wouldn't it? That only works on DBZ lol.

I own nothing. Enjoy!

Yeon Takano walked through the woods. He had taken this shortcut a million times in the past, but, something felt strange about it today. It was probably the incident at school that was troubling him. All those stupid jerks! The way they had scorned him!

He had been invited to a party. It had been the event of the year. Rika Shimono, the most popular girl at his junior high, was having a pool party for her birthday. She was a nice girl, and Yeon had had a crush on her since their first day of kindergarten. He had been invited by a group of boys, who, until now, had taken no notice of him. He had thought that his luck was about to change, that this invitation was a sign that he was finally going to make some new friends, but, he should've known better.

When he had arrived at the party, the boys had taken him aside, out of the view of the other guests, then , they had stripped him of all his clothes, and threw them up on the roof of Rika's family's garage. Then, as if that wasn't bad enough, they had started yelling to the others at the party. At least half the school had seen him, not to mention Rika and her parents. He'd had to run all the way home, naked as a jay-bird.

He had suffered through school today. All of the students were more than willing to tease him about the incident. Now, he was finally on his way home, if that's what you could call the place. His mother would be there, bruised, maybe bloody if his stepfather had started drinking early enough. She'd be trying to hide her own problems. She never had time to worry about his. As for his father, he'd be somewhere with flowing liquor and easy women. He had only spoken to Yeon twice in the last year, both times were when he had seen Yeon in public with his mother. He had said a simple "hi" to him, then started pestering his mother to come back to him. No hopes of finding comfort there either...

The fluttering in his stomach grew worse. Was there something else out here? He had got this feeling before. He had been born with a sixth-sense. He could see things that others could not, he sometimes felt danger before the danger arrived. This strange sense had become more potent as of late. There had been weird looking insects flying through the city, lights and sounds, and then there was this little creature, the likes of which couldn't be compared to any animal he had ever seen. All this had cleared up yesterday, but he still sensed something.

He heard a sound. He walked in it's direction. Something seemed to be pulling at him to come that way. He saw what had been making that noise. There was a broken video tape lying on the ground.

"Wonder what this is..."

He picked up the tape and examined it. It had been smashed, or maybe, sliced, judging by how straight some of the lines were. It appeared to have been halfway through the movie when this had happened. The film on one reel was completely destroyed. Whatever had cut this tape had sliced that side. Pieces of it started to blow away in the breeze. The other reel was pretty well intact. That was what had been making the noise, the long strand of film crinkling as it slowly unwound in the wind.

Yeon had been interested in film since he was young. Photography, home movies, yearbook, and the school news program were just the start of his talents. He wondered what was on this tape that someone had wanted rid of so badly. He surveyed the condition of the film that was in one piece and decided that it could probably be spliced with the start of a reel from one of his old tapes that he no longer watched. With a new case and a little scotch tape, he was pretty sure he could save it. There was something else that caught his eye though. This tape seemed to be longer than any other he'd ever seen, and that was just the half he held in his hand, he had no idea how long it would be with the other half.

Curiosity peaked, Yeon put the tape in his backpack. He started walking back toward his house, planning to go to work on his new project as soon as he got there, despite the eerie feelings he was getting from it.

What was that creepy vibe he was getting from this thing?

10 Years Later...

"...and that was the move that won the tournament."

Kurama took a drink from his tea. He needed to wet his throat after all that explaining. Yusuke and Kuwabara had been making him talk about the tournament's results since he had arrived from Demon World last night.

"Man, I knew I should've went! Just my luck, when I start staying home, the major bad-asses get pitted against each other in the first round!"

"YUSUKE! I thought you said you were through thinking about fighting for a while?"

"But Kayko, I was saying how easy it would've been! I'm not planning on going back for a little while!"

"For a little while?" This was not the answer Yusuke's wife was looking for. "We have a son to think about! You can't just go running off into a fight for your life at the drop of a dime anymore! I don't want to imagine telling our son that his father is never coming home because he wanted to fight with a bunch of demons!"

Yusuke was growing pretty familiar with this speech. He got it more frequently around tournament time. He loved Kayko, and he had promised that he wasn't going to fight there anymore, not for a while at least, but there was still that warrior blood within him, begging him to come back home; back to battle.

After their wedding, Yusuke had only been back to the tournament once, just a few weeks after the ceremony. After that, he had told all his friends that he would not be back for some time. He was a demon, blessed with incredible longevity, but his wife, was not. He had decided to live out all the time he could with her, and treasure their time together. He had come to grips with the fact that he would have to give up his human love all too soon.

After the speech was done, and Kayko had been reassured that her husband was not going to stray from his course as a "family man," she returned to the kitchen. Kuwabara decided that now would be a good time to discuss some things with his former teammates.

"So, has anyone else noticed all the strange things going on around town lately?"

"Besides Yusuke Urameshi swearing off fighting?" Yusuke grumbled.

"There's been a lot more demons hanging around here lately. I've been seeing 'em everywhere. Shizuru has, too."

"Don't look at me. I never get out of the house long enough to see anything," the former Spirit Detective continued to whine.

"I've noticed, Kuwabara. When I returned last night, it was the first thing that caught my attention. The city seems to be teeming with demons, though most are well hidden."

"I thought one of the rules in Demon World now was to leave this world alone. Why are they poppin' up all of a sudden?"

"I'm not sure. Perhaps they were afraid of who would win the tournament, and fled before their chances for escape grew dismal."

"Gettin' while the gettin's good, huh?" Yusuke asked.

"Yes, basically."

"You guys, there's some other stuff, too."

"Like what?" Yusuke had to lower his voice. He did not want Kayko to hear him discussing demons any more than she had to, especially not demons who were here under suspicious circumstances.

"Like these freaky dreams I've been having. I keep seeing Sensui, holding that tape. I thought it was just a bad memory or something, like the demon energy here in town was playin' tricks on my mind, but Shizuru said she's been having the same dreams."

"By 'that tape,' I'll assume you mean Chapter Black."

"Yeah. That's the one. I keep hearing people screaming, too. Like their voices are coming out of that tape."

By now, Kuwabara had Yusuke's full attention. He didn't want to admit it, but he had been waiting for something like this. He didn't want humanity to be in danger. He never wanted to see his family and friends fighting for their lives again. But he did want some excitement. He felt guilty, but he guessed that was his demon blood resurfacing again. Maybe he'd be back to normal once the excitement of tournament time was over...

"It must be the demon energy you've been sensing. Sensui is long deceased. You were there. Itsuki doesn't seem the type to start trouble by himself. He was content to live isolated with Sensui for the rest of his days. As for the tape, Hiei destroyed it not long after we returned to Living World. I witnessed it myself."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, Kuwabara. I was with him when he did so. No one, not even Hiei himself, viewed that video after it was recovered from Sensui."

With the fox's words, Kuwabara felt secure, thinking that the abnormal surroundings had caused him nightmares of old wounds that had never quite healed.

For Yusuke, his words crushed the hope that something interesting might happen. Even if this thought did make him rather guilty.

If only Yusuke had paid more attention when he was told to be careful what he wished for...

Please review! Tell me whatcha think so far. And by the way, this is not heading for another Chapter Black-like story if that's what you're thinking... I hope to make this one much worse than that!
