As Yusuke sat on the roof of his school, he felt the atmosphere change suddenly. Everything felt like it was off. He sat up, away from the wall and looked around at the city moving around normally. "What the hell?" he asked no one out loud. It seemed like only a minute before the world went normal again. "Well that was weird," he said as he leaned back again.
After several minutes, Botan came flying through the air from spirit world on her ore, donning her pink kimono. "Yusuke!" she shouted.
"What do you want now?" he demanded.
"Sorry to disturb your nap," she replied as she landed onto his roof, "but this is urgent! The energy in human world isn't right."
Yusuke sat up again and said, "So that was real. What happened?"
She explained, "It's a trigger, caused by someone creating a charge of electrons in the living world. Anyone with any kind of spirit awareness can sense and what is does is more terrible than you can imagine."
He stood up and said, "You can't get any more vague if you tried, Botan. What does it do?"
"It-" she started just as the roof's door opened.
"There you are Urameshi," Kuwabara shouted, "I've been trying to find you for like 10 minutes already. Something strange is going on here, I can feel it. Oh hey, Botan."
Yusuke replied, "She was just about to tell me what's going on if you didn't show up."
"Like I said," she repeated, "anyone with spirit energy can sense it. Anyway, I think it's best you see what I'm talking about face-to-face. Spirit world just got an urgent report before I got here. Come on." She started walking away.
They made it to a shrine in the middle of the city, surrounded by acres of forest so it didn't appear in the middle of a major city in Japan. They walked up the stairs only to encounter police tape blocking the last section. Botan took them around through the forest and up the final hill.
"What's with all of the blankets?" Kuwabara asked as he looked around the shrine grounds from the tree line. Several police officers were standing around and some were taking pictures.
"They're all dead," Botan explained, "this only happened a few minutes ago." They moved closer to some histerical crying.
A police officer said, "Can you try to breathe deeply for a moment? I'm sorry this happened but we need to know exactly what happened. Can you say anything? Did you see anything?"
"One minute," the person explained, "we were all fine and the next all of them were chopped to pieces! I don't even know! All I saw was some flying shadow and the next thing I knew they were on the ground, covered in blood. That blur was gone!" They kept crying.
Yusuke asked, "Botan, what happened?"
She said, "The atmospheric change that happened causes demons to go into an unbridled rage. They will kill anything and anyone in their sites in seconds. Once the atmosphere changes back, they don't remember a thing."
Kuwabara asked, "A demon did all of this?"
"How many demons are in human world?" Yusuke asked, "How far does this atmosphere whatever reach?"
"The exact number of demons is unknown," she explained, "portals open and close all the time. It's not like every demon is causing havoc either, so spirit world only sees a small number. Weaker demons won't be able to do much, it's the stronger ones-"
"You mean like Hiei and Kurama," he finished.
"Man," Kuwabara said, "imagine if they went nuts on the city." He imagined everything on fire and plants covering everything he saw.
"It seems this reaction is only happening in the city," she said, "and judging on it's output, it's going to happen again."
Yusuke asked, "What should we do? What can we do?"
"Try to find Kurama and Hiei," she explained, "if we can take them out of living world we should be able to save the city since after Togoro and the others died in the dark tournament they're the strongest demons here."
As the sun set on Kurama's high school, he stayed behind with several other students and some teachers trying to figure out what happened earlier. "The whole garden is ruined," a teacher said.
"What happened?" Kurama asked.
"We weren't there," a girl said, "we don't know."
"I was in the area," a boy said, "the garden looked normal and then it suddenly sprouted like crazy! After it stopped Shuichi walked away like nothing happened."
Kurama confessed, "I was in that area earlier but it was normal when I walked away..." he trailed off. Come to think of it, he thought, how did I get to the end of the gardens so fast? I don't remember walking past them at all. He noticed no one saw his confusion.
"Kurama!" a voice called from the hallway.
A teacher walked over to the door and demanded, "What's going on out here? What are you, hoolagins?"
"Sorry," Kuwabara said, "we're just looking for our friend."
"We know he does to school here," Yusuke added, "hey, Kurama!" He looked at him.
"What are they calling you?" another student asked.
"Don't worry about that," Kurama answered nervously, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I must depart." He walked away and pushed Yusuke out of the room with him as he closed the door. "What are you all doing here?" he asked.
Kuwabara asked, "You haven't been feeling weird recently or anything have you?"
Yusuke asked, "Any weird things been happening here?"
"Well," he started, "besides the garden exploding earlier with no cause, no."
Botan said, "You were there, weren't you."
"How did you know?" he asked.
