Chapter 1: The Grand Prize
With the last of his energy, Yusuke makes his hand into the shape of a gun and aims it at Toguro. One final blast. This had to count. He shoots the Spirit Gun towards his opponent. Direct hit. Toguro's eyes widen as he feels the full brunt of the attack. Yusuke falls to the ground. Toguro walks towards his exhausted body with a smile on his face. "Thank you, Yusuke Urameshi." His muscles suddenly shatter as he loses consciouness. He drops dead, nothing but his bare bones remaining. Yusuke manages to stand up and see it for himself. Toguro, the man who had forced him and his friends into the tournament, killed Genkai, killed Kuwabara, was finally no more. The crowd started roaring with excitement, relieved that Toguro was no longer around to feed on their mortal souls. The two announcers went to the center of the stage, raised their hands up high and proclaimed, "The winner of this years Dark Tournament: Team Urameshi!"
Yusuke suddenly heard his alarm. He groans as he hits the snooze button. "Great, 2 months later and still the same dream." After another hour of sleep, he got out of bed, put on his signature green school uniform and went outside, passing by his incredibly drunk mother, Atsuko. As he leaves, he hears the flapping of wings as well as the usual cry of "Poo!" from his cute-looking spirit animal, carrying his schoolbag. He takes it and carries Poo inhis hand, trying to hide the fact that he was alive from any passerby. Dumb spirit animal, why couldn't it be something cool like some giant bird or something... well at least he's useful.
About half a block later, he comes face-to-face with his oldest red-haired "rival". Kuwabara walks up to Yusuke's face and grabs him by the shirt collar. "Hey Urameshi! Let's fight!"
Yusuke chuckles. "Sure, why not Kuwabara. Kicking your ass never gets old." He slips out of his jacket and ducks under Kuwabara, throwing a punch to his stomach. Kuwabara groans in pain and falls to his knees.
"Ugh... Urameshi, I WILL defeat you!" Kuwabara says as he foams at the mouth.
"Yeah yeah yeah, same story as always right?" For the first time, Yusuke extends his hand towards Kuwabara. Kuwabara grabs it and stands up and stares right into his eyes.
"Uh, Urameshi, what was that?"
Memories of his final match against Toguro kept popping up in Yusuke's head again. He imagined Toguro stabbing his pointed fist into Kuwabara's stomach and blood spurting out of Kuwabara's mouth.
Yusuke snaps out of it and laughs halfheartedly. "Oh nothing, Kuwabara. Keiko just wants me to stop whaling on you so much."
The school day passes, neither of the duo doing anything particularly educational. Around midday, Yusuke is taking a nap on the roof when a blue-haired young woman in a pink kimono and on a paddle drops down in front of him. Wanting to have a little fun with him, Botan goes right up to his face, hoping to scare him when he wakes up. Little did she know, Yusuke was enjoying quite a dirty dream at the time. Waking up in a daze, Yusuke sees a woman right in front of him and presumably forgot he was awake. Yusuke has his lips locked with hers and his hands up her kimono before he looks into her eyes and realizes who she is. Before either have the time to react, Kuwabara runs up the stairs to the roof.
"Urameshi, Keiko wants me to tell you- URAMESHI, BOTAN, WHAT THE HELL!"
After 20 mins of Botan beating the crap out of Yusuke and calling him a pervert (and Kuwabara laughing his ass off throughout the entire process), they all calm down when Botan tells them why she's here.
"Koenma told me to gather you, Kuwabara, Kurama and Hiei and take you all to see Genkai. I don't know how urgent it is but he told me it is of great interest to all of you."
Later that day, the four had shown up to Genkai's house as promised.
"Well pacifier-breath, you better have a pretty good reason for bringing me to grandma's house of horrors on a Friday night" Yusuke snaps at Koenma.
"Shut your mouth, dim-wit" Genkai responds immediately
Koenma sighs. "Well, a special visitor from Spirit World has come to visit you five today."
They all watch as a mysterious figure walks in through the door. As she makes her way in, they notice that she has fox ears, a tail, brown hair, green eyes and an incredibly peppy demeanor.
"Hello Team Urameshi!" Koto walks up to each of them, shaking them all vigorously in the hand. "As you know, you were the winners of this year's Dark Tournament. But since the stadium was a bit... destroyed and I was a bit... preoccupied at end, we weren't able to give you each your grand prizes, one wish each!"
"But wait..." Yusuke says in a confused manner. "We wished for the old hag to come back to life. What do you mean you weren't able to give us our wish?"
"Ahem." Koenma chuckled a little. "Well actually, that was me. After Toguro killed her, I was able to give Genkai her life back after a very difficult discussion with my father. Do you really think that the Black Black Club would really bring her back?"
"Um... pretty much" Koto says awkwardly. "But now that the Tournament Committee has been re-formed, their first order of business was to take care of any loose-ends from the tournament that just ended. And so, Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama, Kuwabara and the Masked Fighter will each be granted one rule-free wish!"
