Hey everyone! Yes, I'm still alive. I blame school and the authorities. They give kid too much homework...Yeah, not a legitimate excuse but what can I do? School's hard this year and quite demanding. Anywho, back to the story that I'm sure all of you are dying for. Thanks for sticking with me for so long.
"Talking"
'Thinking'
flashback
"Telepathically"
"Which of you strapping young lads will I have the pleasure of fighting first?" Miyuki asked sexily.
"No way! You're a girl. We can't fight girls. It's against my code!" Kuwabara explained, "Come on, Urameshis. Let's just walk part her," Kuwabara took a step.
"Oh," Miyuki narrowed her red eyes, "A gentleman. A pawn of insecure males seeking to own their women."
"Whoa, whoa! I don't know anything about that, okay. Guys just don't fight girls," Kuwabara backed away.
"Hey! I'm a girl. I can fight," Avi said.
"I'll fight with you," Yusuke took a step forward.
"Urameshi, are you serious?" Kuwabara asked.
"She's a fighter and she's trying to get in our way. I don't care if she's a girl or a baby or somebody's grandmother. I'll still knock her out," Yusuke walked forward.
"Hello! What the hell do you think I am, a duck?! I'm a girl. I can fight her," Avi yelled.
"Oh, I love your style," Miyuki jumped back and got into a fighting stance, "It's an equal playing field and anything goes."
"But let me check first to make sure," Yusuke ran forward.
Miyuki jumped forward. The two passed each other in the air. Miyuki landed crouching and crossing her arms over her chest.
"You pervert! What was that?!" she blushed.
"Now I know!" Yusuke turned around.
"Hey, uh, I don't get it. What just happened?" Kuwabara asked confused.
"Hey, lady! You've got no chance of winning this fight," Yusuke called.
"Oh shut up," Miyuki pulled out a strand of purple hair. It turned into a whip. She ran forward and threw the whip at Yusuke. He jumped to the side and tumbled on the floor.
"You never would have done that if I were a man!" the whip wrapped around Yusuke's neck.
He was lying on the floor with his hands at the whip.
"What did she mean by that?" Botan asked.
Avi scrunched her eyebrows together.
"I don't know," Kuwabara thought for a second. He replayed what happened in his mind.
Yusuke and Miyuki jumped towards each other. Yusuke grabbed her right breast in his right hand and squeezed.
"Holy shit…I'm pretty sure he grabbed Miyuki's tit! Well it serves you right to get choked Urameshi."
"I'm telling Kayko on you!" Avi stuck her tongue out.
Miyuki jumped through the ceiling. She was reeling the choking boy in who was now suspending in the air.
"I'm going to enjoy this," she smirked.
At the end of her whip was a very sharp point.
"Maybe he should try apologizing to her," Kuwabara leered.
"What's he gonna say? 'Sorry for grabbing your tit, Miyuki. It was an accident?' Apologizing is going to do shit," Avi explained.
"Ohh…the two of you be quiet," Botan hushed.
Yusuke was dangling right in front of the camera. His fingers were prying at the whip that was around his neck.
Toguro, Sakashta and Tarukane were watching the show from a very big screen as were the rest of the Black Black Club.
"What a broad!" Tarukane cheered.
"If you wanted to hang out together, you should've just asked," Yusuke started swinging back and forth. He grabbed onto the rope-like whip and blasted his way through the ceiling next to Miyuki.
"Hello!" he had a little scratch on his face.
Miyuki jumped back.
"Hey! Where ya goin'?" the whip was free from his neck," Let's hang out!" he punched Miyuki right in the chest. He jumped on her stomach and sent both of them crashing through the ceiling.
Miyuki growled. She ran at Yusuke but was punched in the chest again.
"Ah! Urameshi! How can you keep hitting a girl like that?" Kuwabara pointed, "I mean you even hit her in the ta-tas!"
Avi knitted her brows again.
"Give me a break! I know! Avi yells at me all the time after we spar that her tits hurt. But do you want me to just stand still while she reams me?!"
"I don't know. All I'm sayin' is that boys aren't allowed to hit girls!"
"We're both fighters! Why the hell does it make a difference! You hit Avi don't you?"
"That's different. She's practically a boy!"
Miyuki ran behind Yusuke. Yusuke turned around and kicked her in the stomach. She flew head first into the side of the wall.
Kuwabara, Avi and Botan ran to Yusuke.
Avi and Yusuke looked at Kuwabara, "You yell way too much."
"Okay that's it! You and me gotta duke it out right now so I don't get nauseous!" Kuwabara turned to Yusuke, "Even if she was attacking you, you don't have to knock her head through a wall, you bully!"
"Hold it, Kuwabara. He wouldn't have hit her there if something was up," Avi stopped the roused boy.
Yusuke knew she was expecting an explanation.
"Fine, I wasn't gonna tell you this cause I still don't think it matters. But look closely."
The four teens looked at Miyuki.
"It turns out our misses is a mister," Yusuke continued.
Kuwabara freaked out.
Botan took a step closer and looked, "Oh my."
"But how…do…you…know?" Kuwabara and Avi asked.
"Well— uh— I really could help but notice," Yusuke put his hands up in the air, chest level, and squeezed the air.
"Wait a sec," Kuwabara thought back to the beginning of the fight.
Yusuke and Miyuki jumped in the air. Yusuke originally went in for a punch. Miyuki punched Yusuke, who dodged and went underneath her arm and grabbed her right breast. She punched him again when she realized what the teenage boy did. He dodged again and lifted up her dress.
"Okay, I admit it. I was curious. Things didn't seem right up top, and well you know…" Yusuke made and ok sign, "The family jewels have not been stolen."
"So fighting girls actually does bother you, but you gave her a check up instead of attacking her," Kuwabara interpreted, "…You're kind of a weird person, aren't you?"
Miyuki started to get up, "You think I'm a freak, don't you? That's why you're attacking so violently. What? You're afraid I'll rub off on you. Why can't you treat me as an equal?!" Miyuki ran at Yusuke.
"Shut up!" Yusuke grabbed her collar and her legs, "If you're gonna be a man, do it all the way not half way!" he lifted her over his head and sent her sailing to the other side of the hallway.
"I'm fighting you cause you won't let us save that girl. It's got nothing to do with anything except for me kicking you ass!"
"You positive about this Urameshi? She looks so— I mean he looks so— uh— pretty," Kuwabara kneeled forward and began lifting his/her dress, "I mean are you sure that she's a…"
"You jerk!" Botan hit Kuwabara behind the head with her oar.
Avi and Yusuke were standing on the side grinning.
The camera turned towards the teens.
"Hey look, a camera!" Kuwabara said slyly.
"Two more and we're coming after you!" Avi and Yusuke said in the camera.
The three teens held up a victory sign. All four of them held their faces to the camera and laughed.
Tarukane growled.
"That must be rather embarrassing for you!" man two said.
"Now what were the bids again?" man one asked, "I bet 500 million on the demons."
"Yes, so did I," man two agreed.
"You know if everyone bet on the demons Tarukane might make money," said man three.
"Well the four of us did! That's good for him!" said man four.
"But I bet 20 billion on the intruders," Sakyou countered.
Tarukane growled.
"I'd expect you to be paler, Tarukane," said man one, "These intruders seem to be eradicating all of your defenses. And at doubled stakes, you'll owe Sakyou over 40 billion in bets."
"He's got a good point. Maybe you should grab those Hiruiseki stones and get off the mountain while you still can," suggested man two.
Tarukane laughed, "You've got to be kidding me. The real game is just beginning."
"A sugar coated strawberry rice-cake. My servant must have stood in lone for a week to her this!" Koenma cheered, "You just can't beat royal treatment." Koenma was about to take a bite when George interrupted him.
"Aren't you gonna at least take out your pacifier first, sir?"
"What's it to you, blue-boy?"
"Oh, it's nothing sir," George was poking his fingers together, "I just think if I got to eat so much good food like you, I'd appreciate it more."
"Really? Well then perhaps, you'd like to make a little wager with me. Who prevails? The twins' team or the Triad? The winner takes the cake."
"Oh thank you sir! That's so very gracious of you! Now let me see, I think I'll pick the twins' team to win!"
"Nope, can't do that. I've already that I will bet on the twins."
"I will."
"I will."
"No, I will."
"I will."
"Rock paper scissors!" the two boys yelled.
George had scissors and Koenma had paper. George cheered.
The four teens were back to running in the hallway.
"I've been thinkin' about what you said back there Urameshi," Kuwabara panted, "Yeah, I mean the way you checked to see if Miyuki was a boy. What would you have done if it's actually been a girl you were touching?"
"Think about it dumbass! Like I would have complained?!" Yusuke was astounded by Kuwabara's question.
"Kayko's not going to like hearing that," Kuwabara hinted.
Avi looked over her shoulder and grinned.
Yusuke stopped short and grabbed onto Kuwabara. Kuwabara stood there with his arms folded behind his head.
"You wouldn't dare tell Kayko that for real!" Yusuke shook the boy.
"I would," his sister slyly grinned.
"Shut up!" Yusuke turned back to Kuwabara, "Would you?"
"Well there is this new CD I want and I haven't had enough money to buy it."
Yusuke pulled Kuwabara and the two began wrestling with each other.
"And you want me to buy it for you," Yusuke asked in the middle of their squabble.
Avi stood there laughing at the immaturity of the boys.
"Would you boys knock it off?!" Botan yelled breaking up the fight, "We're supposed to be rescuing Yukina!"
"That's right!" Kuwabara pushed Yusuke into the wall, "I don't have time for this," he tightened his headband, "Okay, here goes," he held out his pinky, "By the red pinky string I'm led to my heart's content," he dashed off leaving the other three in the dust.
Yukina was still in her prison silently facing the wall.
Thunder rolled outside and there was a flash of lightening. Hiei continued to zip through the tree branches. He paused for a minute when he heard the thunder rumble. Snow began to fall from the sky. A piece of snow melted in Hiei's palm as caught the lone flake. That lone flake reminded him of a very fond memory of Yukina.
A tiny Yukina was playing in the snow with three baby foxes. "Another snowstorm is coming. You'll have to find someplace warm," Yukina told a bird, "We have to say goodbye to each oter now. Wel, goodbye."
Hiei clenched his fist and growled. He hopped onto another tree branch and continued his pace.
Botan's demon compass blinked to the right as the teens came to a fork in the road.
"This way," the blue haired girl pointed.
But before they turned Kuwabara sensed something.
"Move," he cried as he pushed Botan down the hallway and pushed the twins back. Something flew by and cut Kuwabara's head band straight down. The white band slid onto the floor.
"Someone's here," the boy said.
Avi and Yusuke looked behind them as they saw the second demon materializing. He was wearing a blue ninja suit with a red band tied around his waist. His arms were bound up with white bind. His black cloak, which has orange lining, covered his whole face except for his eyes. On his knuckles were razor sharp claws.
"Demon two of the Triad, Inmaki," he introduced himself, "I'm sorry I missed."
Kuwabara bent down and picked up his torn headband, "You just tore up the Great Fighting Headband of Love. You're dead!"
Kuwabara ran towards Inmaki. With a flick of his cape, Inmaki disappeared.
"Well, that was weird," Avi commented.
Kuwabara sensed Inmaki running around. He saw a glimpse of Inmaki's claws and jumped back. Inmaki then lashed out at their legs and ran around again nipping at the teens.
"Can you sense where this guy is hiding?" Yusuke asked Kuwabara.
"Nuh-uh, he's too fast. It feels like he's all around us."
Suddenly, Inmaki stopped behind Yusuke. He dug his claws in boy's right shoulder blade and brought up the claws, ripping boy's shirt and skin. Botan stood there in fright.
"You okay?" Kuwabara yelled.
"Run!" Avi ordered.
Yusuke got up off the ground while holding his shoulder, and ran. Botan materialized her oar and started leading the way, with Avi at the rear of the pack.
Inmaki chuckled, "Yes, the old cat and mouse." He disappeared.
"Botan, take this next corner!" the young girl ordered.
"Right," Botan flew to the right.
They ended up at a dead end.
"There's nothing you can do," Inmaki appeared at the opening of the dead end.
"Okay. He's here," Kuwabara warned.
"Shot Gun!" Avi yelled.
Thousands of tiny blue bullets of Spirit Energy erupted from the female twin's hand, creating little craters across the wall. In the center of it all, was Inmaki. His clothes were burnt to shreds.
Avi blew on her finger pretending to get rid of smoke from a gun.
"Kind of a cheap move when you don't even have to aim!" Kuwabara retorted.
"WHAT?!" both twins yelled.
"What?" Inmaki whispered.
"When there was only one direction you could come form, it was easy! I just had to sense your Spirit Energy round the corner," Kuwabara explained.
"And taking my cue form Kuwabara over here, I just fired a major Shot Gun blast to cover the whole stretch of the hallway. Clever, huh?" Avi concluded.
Inmaki fell unconscious and fell from the wall to the floor.
The security camera turned towards the teens. The three fighters chuckled, "One more!" they held up one finger.
Tarukane growled. The Toguro brothers stood there. On the screen they were watching four teens making faces.
"Yeah! Pound 'em Yusuke! Kick 'em where it hurts Avi!"
"Now Koenma sir," George warned, "You do remember that if the twins beat the Triad I get to eat your sugarcoated strawberry rice cake, right?"
Koenma narrowed his eyes, "I quit this bet."
"But sir! Everyone knows if you quit a bet you have to swallow a thousand needles."
A worried look came across the prince's face, "Oh I forgot. George, I hate you!"
The quadruplets continued running down the hallway with Botan leading.
Kuwabara stopped suddenly, "Watch out!"
A giant hand punched through a wall and grabbed Botan by the back of her jacket.
"Don't tell me we have to face King Kong now," a look of dread was plastered on Avi's face.
As the dust cleared, the three teens were staring at a huge demon. The demon's head practically touched the ceiling. His body was a Tuscan color and only a loincloth covered him. He had sharp razor claws on his hands and feet. A big, bushy, maroon afro was on his head that also went to the sides of his face. He had three horns sprouting from the top of his head.
Botan was struggling as much as she could.
"The name's Gokumonki, third demon of the Triad."
"I'll write it on your gravestone!" Yusuke started to gather Spirit Energy in his finger.
"Are you sure you wont hit your friend?" Gokumonki asked.
"Yes, good question." Botan struggled.
"Ah, dirty trick," Yusuke lowered his finger.
Gokumonki chuckled and grabbed the spiked club that was hanging behind his back. He swung it in the air ripping through the ceiling as he brought it down.
"We're not fighting King Kong! We're fighting Godzilla!" Avi panicked.
Gokumonki brought his club down. The three teens dodged the attack.
Kuwabara stood up and formed a Spirit Sword.
"Very good," Gokumonki seemed impressed.
Kuwabara charged. His sword met with Gokumonki's club. The club broke the sword in half and the sword disappeared.
"What the fuck was that?!" Yusuke cried, "And Avi, suck it up and take it like a man. Why the fuck are you acting like such a wimp?!"
"I was afraid of hitting Botan!" Kuwabara yelled, "I must've held back too much energy!"
Gokumonki swung his club and hit Kuwabara square in the stomach. Kuwabara flew through the air to the other side of the hallway.
"Kuwabara!" Botan cried.
"Hey!" the twins ran to Kuwabara.
Gokumonki swung again but Yusuke ducked and Avi didn't even flinch.
"Can you get up?" Avi bent down.
Kuwabara lifted himself up onto his left arm.
Gokumonki turned around and laughed. Botan stopped struggling and had a look of fear on her face.
"You don't have the nerve to attack me as long as I have her," Gokumonki dangled Botan.
"Shit," Kuwabara wiped the side of his mouth.
"Unless you have another plan I'm going to start the crushing," the demon raised his club.
"Botan raise your arms!" Yusuke commanded.
With a confused look on her face, she obeyed his order and lifted her arms. The deity slipped from the demon's hand and ran towards her companions.
"Stu-pid," the three kids annunciated the syllables.
Gokumonki growled and prepared his attack. The three teens jumped in the air with one foot charged with Spirit Energy. Yusuke kicked Gokumonki with his left leg at Gokumonki's right side of his chest. Kuwabara kicked with his right foot at Gokumonki's left side of his chest. And Avi kicked with her right leg smack dab in the middle of his chest. The impact threw Gokumonki crashing into a wall and into unconsciousness.
"Oh yeah!" the twins hi-fived each other.
"What a win, sir! Did you see that?" George cheered.
"Well of course I did! Don't ask silly questions."
George heard tea being slurped. He saw Koenma drinking a cup of tea and next to him an empty plate.
"Obviously I did a good job selecting the twins."
"What happened to my sugarcoated strawberry rice cake?" George squeaked.
"My goodness. I must have accidentally eaten it just now! You see I get so very excited when the twins win, that my hand just starts throwing things in my mouth," Koenma lied.
"You really think I'm stupid."
The three fighters held up a fist and Botan was sticking her tongue out.
"Get ready Tarukane! We're coming to get you!" Kuwabara said into the camera.
Tarukane stood up, "You-!" 'I never dreamed they'd be this strong!'
"I'd say that wraps up our bet with the demon Triad," said man two.
"Yes, and it appears I've won again," Sakyou hit his cigarette against an ashtray, "Perhaps you should quit now, Tarukane. That brings my winnings up to 50 billion."
"Speak for yourself, Sakyou. You may have rake din a fortune, but the rest of us haven't been so lucky! We gotta keep playing," said man two.
"Sakyou seems to have the inside track on these fights. I say we all bet on whatever team he does and make back all of our money!" said man one.
"Well you better do it all in one shot, because there's only one more bet," Tarukane warned.
The Toguros started chuckling.
"Yes brother, now it's finally our turn to fight," the younger Toguro spoke.
"Who will win the final battle, the intruders, or the Toguro Brothers?"
'Only I know the Toguro's true power. They'll bet a few billion on the intruders, and I'll make my money back.' "All eyes are on you, Sakyou. What's the call?"
"66 trillion and 200 million," Sakyou said.
Tarukane's jaw dropped, "Huh?"
"66 trillion, 200 million on the intruders' victory," Sakyou repeated.
"66 trillion, 200 million?!" Tarukane gasped.
"No way!"
"That's unheard of."
"It's more than Japan's Gross National Product!"
"It's more than any country's product!" Tarukane agreed with the other protests.
Sakyou took a drag of his cigarette, "But by my calculations, that is your Gross Product if you include the Hiruiseki Stone creator."
"Interesting. So Tarukane really could par," said man three.
"He'd have to sell event he fillings in his teeth, but he could do it!" said man two.
"And that means he has to accept the bet!" concluded man one.
"The rest of us won't gamble. We'll just watch as one of you permanently ruined," said man four.
Tarukane was taking deep breaths, 'What's Sakyou up to? Is it possible he knows something I don't about this? Ah, who am I kidding. He's just cocky. I'm the only one who knows the truth. And when I win this bet, I'll have more money than anyone ever!'
Tarukane walked over to Sakyou's screen, "Fine. I'm takin' your bet! Now you better not let me down!" he turned towards the brothers.
The older Toguro chuckled.
"It's been ages since I've been contracted for such a fight," Toguro cracked his knuckles and removed his coat, "I might enjoy myself."
"Sakashta," the servant walked over to his master, "Have Yukina brought to me. And don't you let the Black Black Club know she's the one. We are all going to have to play our cards very carefully now."
The group continued to run through the maze of hallways.
"All we gotta do is stop Tarukane. And that'll be easy-greasy," Kuwabara panted.
Botan's watch started beeping. She stopped, "Maybe not."
"What now?" Yusuke asked annoyed by another delay.
"Hold on. Yeah I can defiantly feel it. They're moving Yukina."
"How can you tell?" Avi asked Kuwabara.
"We're attached, remember?"
The three made a face.
"Let's see if I can get her attention," Kuwabara started concentrating.
With his eyes closed, he began to contact her with his mind.
"Yukina. Calling all Yukinas. Can you here me. Yukina."
Yukina was being led down a spiral staircase. The Toguro brothers were afead of her and two bodyguards were behind her.
She suddenly heard her name being called.
"Who are you?" the young maiden asked, telepathically.
"It's me. Kuwabara."
"Kuwa…bara? Do I know you?"
"She said my name!" Kuwabara cheered out loud.
He created his Spirit Sword and kept the connection going, "Never fear. I am Kuwabara. I have come here for you. And with my sensitive eyes and big shiny sword I will save you. Then we can date, right?"
"Please! Go away!"
Kuwabara fell over, "Uh—what did you say? Oh the pain."
"No one must ever come near me. You'll only be killed. They've hired terrible guards."
Kuwabara chuckled, "Don't worry. We've already taken care of them all."
"No. you're wrong. The worst ones are standing right in front of me."
"There must be a mistake. I don't even sense their Spirit Energy. Look baby, we'll be there soon."
The elder Toguro turned his head around and laughed at Yukina.
"I've got a definite lock on her now!" Kuwabara led the pack down the hallways, "And I don't care if she wants us to or not, we're saving my love."
They ran down a flight of stairs.
"Hurry!" Kuwabara cried.
"Ooh. A basement," Yusuke sarcastically said.
Hiei was standing on a tree overlooking the mansion. His ruby eyes glared, "So this is her filthy prison."
He used his Jagan Eye to locate his sister in the mansion. But to his surprise the Toguro Brothers popped into his mind.
"I…can't believe they would be here."
'Yukina hold on, I'm coming,' Hiei jumped down.
"Ugh. What are these things?" Yusuke asked running through the cages filled with demons.
"Disgusting I'd say," Botan commented.
"I otld you we're fighting Godzilla!" Avi yelled.
"Come on guys! We don't have time for that!" Kuwabara looked back.
They ran to the end of the hallway where two doors were closing.
"The door's closing," Yusuke pointed out.
"No! really?" Avi retorted.
"Hurry!" Kuwabara yelled at the bickering twins.
They increased their speed and made it just in time.
They were in a huge white arena. In front of them stood the Toguro Brothers. On the walls were screens of the Black Black Club members. Tarukane was in a box seat with a glass window to protect him.
"I take it we have one more fight," Yusuke said.
"Yep. I take it we do," Avi replied.
"Forget it. Their total Spirit Energy couldn't hurt a wingless fly!" Kuwabara disapproved. He looked up at the box, "There she is."
Yukina was being held by two guards and was being forced to watch the upcoming match.
"Don't worry. We're coming for you soon!" Kuwabara reassured.
"Both the brothers are fighting? I feel sorry for the twins," Koenma stood on his chair.
"Are you sorry for the rice cake?" George asked.
"Welcome," Toguro unfolded his arms, "Try not to be too hard on us—We're fragile."
So...I have nothing else to add here. Just like to thank everyone again for sticking with me and with this story. I love everyone who has reviewed so far. Next chapter is the last chapter then the Dark Tournament. Oh, I have so many ideas.
Here's a little semi-contest thingie:
How would you have Hiei and Avi have their first kiss? Write a little blurb in you review or just PM me. I really don't care. It can be long it can be short. It can be anyway you want it.
