Bayton didn't believe what she had just seen. Shura the major concern of Spirit World for the past ten years had literally just been blown off the face of the map. The worst part was Yusuke had done it so easily. Shura had never even been a threat. She'd heard stories from people about how he'd killed the Saint Beasts at fifteen, won the Dark Tournament at sixteen, started the Makai tournaments at seventeen, and then became a ruling party leader in Demon World shortly thereafter. None of that had really sunk in until now. She had just thought of it as a list of accomplishments like everyone had on a resume, but it was only now that she realized how incredible that resume was.
"So," Yusuke said as he turned around to face her and Yukasa. His chest was puffed out and his face was consumed in a smile. He was clearly proud of himself. "Are you impressed with your old man?"
-Yes, - Bayton thought. –In every sense of the word. –
"Eh," Yukasa said.
Bayton looked at him in surprise.
"Eh?" Yusuke asked his demeanor suddenly deflating.
"I mean it was cool," Yukasa said. "But Shura did that big one over there."
"What!" Yusuke yelled. "But I bet you he can't do that 99 more times!"
"Or any more times considering he's now a pile of ashes," Bayton said.
Yusuke looked at her and smiled. "Thanks," he said, and he actually sounded genuinely sincere.
"Oh! No doubt you kicked Shura's ass, but I mean even I got a shot in on the guy and I've only had these powers for a few hours," Yukasa said attempting to stand, but ending up just sitting up.
"I think that's because you tapped into one of the greatest secrets of the Urameshi line!"
Yukasa looked up to his father with a smile.
"What's that dad?"
"Beginner's luck!"
They both laughed at this stupid joke, and Bayton couldn't help but smile because it was the same laugh. One was older and stronger, one was younger and weaker, but it was impossible to miss that it was the same laugh. It was here too that Bayton realized that she had just entered on a journey like the one Yusuke had taken, with different trials, tribulations, and a way different style, but same result. She and her friend were going to change the world.
