Yusuke stepped through the portal and started towards Raizen's kingdom. His castle was breaking the skyline in the distance. He was in deep thought as he walked. Botan's words of warning rang through his head as if she was right there next to him nagging him.
"Yusuke, you are very brave trying to save your friend, but I don't think you should of told her there was hope when there was so much uncertainty that Raizen will agree to this. You could be killed if the wrong people in spirit world found out you were helping a demon…"
Yusuke's friend Bella was infact a demon. She was kind of like Yusuke; grew up a normal life, then a near death experience caused the demon blood that ran through his veins to emerge and take over his spirit energy. Unlike Yusuke though, she went through an entire transformation. She was now a full demon, Yusuke is only a half. Right now she is a lower B class demon but she is still being hunted by spirit world. Yusuke's life was spared because he saved the planet many times so they only owed him, with Bella they see her as a threat, an abomination waiting to strike the living world. Yusuke has Koenma to back him up as well when spirit world declared he needed to be destroyed. Bella has no one, Koenma though is trusting Yusuke's word that Bella is and should be spared.
Koenma graciously granted Bella the chance to quietly leave the living world and live in the demon world forever, leaving behind her mortal life. She was surely reluctant, but she soon agreed to Yusuke because she doesn't really have much time before she is destroyed.
Raizen on the other hand was brought back to life soon after the tournament in demon world to declare the new leader. Demon world was under mass chaos after the tournament; Yomi and Mukuro couldn't handle all of Demon world by themselves. Demon world was far too large and they needed a powerful leader like Raizen who was an SS class demon. Since he was so strong no one dared to question him, no one dared to challenge him. Many Youkais respected him because they feared him.
If Raizen agreed to Yusuke's terms then Bella's life will be saved. It's not like a phenomenon like this happens everyday; so he wouldn't have to worry about his castle becoming a orphanage. Sometimes human's apparition form never really comes out before the blood of the ancestor dies off in the generations; the blood waits for the right time to emerge on the right person.
Yusuke entered through the doors and headed straight for the throne room; he was already waiting for him, he knew he was coming. Before him, he saw his ancestral sitting before him with a beaming smile on his face.
"Yusuke, you've come back for a rematch?" Raizen Chuckled
"Nah, maybe some other time though" Yusuke said sarcastically with a smile.
"Then what brings you here on this fine day?" He asked as thunder rolled across the skies.
"I need your help." Raizen's Brow furrowed, his smile dropped. He was confused and caught off guard. "It's actually a friend of mine, she needs help."
"What? A she? Does she need her boyfriend beat up or something?" he asked jokingly.
"No, not that I know of. It's a bit more serious than that, she's being hunted."
"Hunted? Can't you take care of who ever is hunting your girlfriend?"
"She's not my girlfriend! And it's spirit world that's hunting her."
"They shouldn't be a problem to take down then."
"Yeah true, but if I kick their asses then they will be on my case. And as you know, spirit world and I aren't exactly on good terms anymore."
"Why are they even hunting her? Has spirit world sunken that low to start hunting little girls?"
"Yeah I guess they have. She has evolved in to a demon form, but she's completely harmless. But they want her dead.
"Do you know what type of race she is?" he asked.
"No I'm not quite sure. She seems completely normal, she eats like a human, but her energy is different."
"I see, so what do you want me to do about it?"
"I need you to take care of her. We can't just send her to the demon world alone and with her powers so weak."
Raizen thought for a little while staring blankly at the ground. He didn't know what to think really, he would feel guilty if he turned his friend away. Especially since she is a girl, he didn't want to let spirit world hunt his own kind like that and kill them like animals. Then again, he felt like he was taking on a liability if he took the girl in.
"look I understand if you can't you know.. take her-"
"No I will take her." He said abruptly. He didn't really think about what he was saying, he just spewed out whatever came out of his mouth. I guess it was settled then, he would have another person living in his castle.
"Besides, I could use the entertainment," Raizen said with a smile. Secretly he was covering up his weakness. He somehow felt bad for the girl and he had no idea who she was.
