Chapter 4

Only three reviews. I know there are more than three people on this site. Help the new guy out. I need some motivation at ten o' clock at night. Here's another chapter. If I really don't get anything before the weekend, I'm going to have to give up on this story. Hope this gets you a little more interested.

At the same speed they raced to Yusuke's palace, they headed north to Makuro's kingdom. Makuro was an average height woman missing an eye. A life of slavery had made her cold and devoid of emotion. She'd lost her left eye and had become appalled with her appearance. She frequently presented herself wrapped up like a mummy of ancient Egypt showing only her good eye through the bandages. She was instrumental in the agreement to have a tournament every few years to decide the new ruler. With Raizen gone and Yomi unwilling to allow his plans for unity of the territories to go unrealized, Makuro sided with Yusuke in his decision, tipping the balance of power in Yusuke and Makuro's favor. This forced Yomi to play by Yusuke's rules.

"Urameshi what the hell is that?" Kuwabara yelled as he saw a wall of shadowy figures approaching them.

"Oh damn, Kuwabara get ready, this is the fashionably late welcome party we should've had to deal with when we landed." Yusuke yelled

Kuwabara held his hands out in the same fashion as when he was falling to hell's floor.

"SPIRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT SWORD!" He yelled

The demons attacked swiftly as Kuwabara ran through them, slicing each one as he ran past with no problem. Then came the big guy.

Yusuke slid to a halt, almost falling forward on his face.

"Oh man, I've never seen one of these guys before." Yusuke said shocked.

The demon stood seven feet tall, shoulders as large as the barrel of tank turret gun. Veins pulsed violently from his musculature. He was preparing.

"So you're the two little flies that came into my home. What is it you hope to accomplish?" the demon asked.

"We hope to accomplish kicking your ass in a timely fashion so we can straighten things out with Makuro and Yomi before this war starts." Yusuke shot back.

"And what makes you think you'll be able to walk away from here in one piece? The demon asked snidely.

Yusuke clenched his teeth.

"Let me show you. Stand still and close your eyes. It'll only hurt for a moment." Yusuke growled angrily.

He placed his left hand over his right hand and extended his right index finger. The blue glow at the end grew larger as he concentrated.

"You pathetic child. Your story is legend. What's happened to you these three years? You've become as soft as a human." The demon spoke in disgust

"I'D HATE TO BREAK IT TO YOU BITCH, BUT I STILL AM HUMAN…SPIRIT GUN!" Yusuke roared.

The blast was atomic. The demon's eyes widened in shock. But it was just a ploy. The demon threw his fist straight at the center of the blast and held it back. He lifted the blast straight up and sent it flying in to the air. Yusuke froze.

"AH! What the hell? That blast could've taken out a city!" Yusuke yelled.

"My turn Urameshi, stand back!" Kuwabara yelled.

Yusuke turned in confusion as he watched Kuwabara take a stance he'd only seen once at the Dark Tournament. Kuwabara turned both hands into fists and brought them to his side, his thumbs facing up. He raised his arms over his and opened his hands. An orange sphere formed in each hand.

"DOUBLE SPIRIT SWORD!" Kuwabara yelled.

Kuwabara leapt at the demon slicing vertically with one sword and horizontally with the other trying to cut the demon in two places. He was too fast for Kuwabara. Years of a normal life had made Kuwabara slow. He had no chance.

"Pathetic human. Go back to your doomed world. The weaker humans won't be able to defend themselves." The demon threw a hard right into Kuwabara's rib cage. He made contact, so he thought.

"Let me know how this feels." Kuwabara had caught the demon's fist before it hit his rib cage. Kuwabara rotated both his wrists toward the demon's wrists and sliced off his hands. The demon roared in pain.

"You bastard!" the demon screamed.

"Hit him now Urameshi!" Kuwabara ordered.

Yusuke nodded and pulled his right fist to his side. His entire fist glowed blue.

"SHOTGUN!" Yusuke let out a roar and thousands of tiny spirit bullets sprayed toward the demon. Every one of them made contact. The demon's stomach was sliced open and he bled all over the red, dusty ground. He attempted to pick himself up but there was no strength left. He opened his mouth.

"So what, you're going to talk us to death since you can't fight us?" Yusuke asked sarcastically.

The demon smiled.

"This is what I was hoping would happen. I hope you've got a second round in you." The demon laughed.

An egg popped out of the demon's mouth and began to pulse with orange energy. The shell began to crack and a high pitched whistle, the sound of demon energy being released from the egg, escaped and filled the plains they were standing in. Something bad had just happened.

"What did we do Urameshi?" Kuwabara shook.

"Damn it" Yusuke whispered.

Another cliff hanger. Hope that action pumped you up for another chapter. The more reviews I get, the faster I'll update. And that's not an empty promise. I want to know what's good and bad so I know how to shape my story. Thanks.
