Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Yu-Hakusho or the characters. Just the plot and the additional (4) characters.

Summary: Bryin is slapped back to reality of why he is still angel. But still the question haunts him if he truly belongs there. Now, no longer able to delay the enviable Bryin and Zetsumei must have their face down. But Yusuke doesn't seem to keep a very good hold on himself and causes problems.

Warnings: Cussing and BATTLES (not really a warning but it is for all those that do not like violence, even if it is just the mention of it.)

Miscellaneous: WOO BACK ON TRACK. I'd have to say maybe 2 more chapters and this sad bunch of words called a story will officially be done! Now… as I mentioned before this might turn into a sequel… yea… at the moment… nooo. Maybe later. But right now I'm just going to leave it with an opening ending (opening ending: an ending that can still have something added onto it… IOW: a sequel).

~May the Battle Begin~

~NARRITOR'S POV~

In the densest part of the forest in the park, Alexandria and Bryin stood facing each other awaiting each others moves. Neither could tell what was on the others mind. With every second that went by the air thickened with anticipation.

"I… you… You're okay." Alex finally spoke.

"Yes. I am alive and well."

"I'm so happy that it's shocked out of me." Alex let a small quick smile come through before it was quickly replaced with, once again, an emotionless expression.

Bryin nodded then smiled.

"But yet… for some reason this happiness seems to still be… empty."

Bryin cocked his head to the side in question. "I can't see why that is."

Alex's face tightened. "I think I do." It stood quite until he proceeded. "Are you coming back? Back to Heaven."

That was why. Bryin never really gave it much thought. He knew the immediate answer for right here, right now. But not for the future. He had to finish the battle that was. But in the future… "No." Bryin whispered his reply.

"It's because of the battle? You know, you will have a better chance at winning it if you are back in Heaven with the rest of us…" Alex quickly tried to change his mind.

"No. I need to finish this on my own. I'm tired of watching from the sidelines. Besides, he isn't going to stop until one of us completely over powers the other. And you know it." Bryin replied with a sharp tongue and quickly; as if it was all one sentence.

It stood quite for what seemed forever. "…You don't plan to come back to Heaven at all… do you?" Alex spoke quietly. But it was like a rock plowing into water.

Silence stood as Bryin's answer.

"Why?"

"How can I go back there? To that sacred place? After what I have been through I feel so dirty. There is no way…"

"You wouldn't have allowed it to happen! It wasn't your choice. You can't hold yourself responsible for something you didn't have a choice in." Alex's teeth was gritted.

"God… allowed it for a reason. There has to be a reason. I did something wrong…"

"BRYIN!"

Bryin was cut short. Almost in an instant Bryin's body glowed a bright white as pure energy sprung from his body. His wings let lose taking up the whole width of the area as the power over flooded three football fields. The power surge lasted a good three minutes before it all went back inside the small body. Instantly weak, Bryin's body feel to the ground as he gasped for air. Alex stood before him watching him trying to catch his breath.

"Do you now see? I drained that power from you and yet you still have infinite amount dwindling inside you. If you were to be punished, I don't think God would have done it in such a disgracing way, but instead would have allowed all your energy to evaporate into nothingness. But he didn't…" Alex's eyes, that had turned pure white, dulled out into a grey.

Bryin looked up at Alex with his heart still pounding against his chest.

"I understand the battle. …but after it… please reconsider coming back to Heaven."

With that Alex took his leave with the few spirits he came to Earth to pick up.

~BRYIN'S POV: NEXT DAY~

I felt a new. A power surged through me that have never surged through me before: courage.

I was able to get into the demon world with ease. All demons that dared to approached me instantly tucked tail and ran. I meet up with Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei. They introduced me to Kouken and I instantly thanked him. Of course he kept telling me to hush and that it was his job. But I thanked him none of the less.

"So, are we ready to do this?" Yusuke punched his hand lightly all spiked up.

"Please Yusuke, you must stay out of the way." I begged.

"Yea, yea I know. I just can't wait to get this over with." Yusuke brushed my warning away.

"We are beside you one hundred percent." Kurama reassured me.

"Yes I know."

I quickly left them not wanting to be too side tracked by my emotions. I was able to find Zetsu with ease. Well… the area Zetsu was in at least.

I had to wander around for a while until…

"BRYIN!"

As soon as I looked up the giant hammer landed on the ground. Luckily I jumped out of the way, inches from being under the giant mallet. I formed my straight edged sword into my hand as I cut the hammer in half, with my wings springing out I flew into the air where Zetsu was and…

~YUSUKUE'S POV~

The battle begun. Sparks flew everywhere. Surges of energy gave the dirt a heartbeat. Each blow was less forgiving than the next. And like a light to a bug, demons came to see the battle. I had to say, even I had a hard time staying away from it. I focused my energy with the rest of the gang to keep a barrier around the battle to keep demons out. Unfortunately this energy was summoned threw my weakest state of being. I had to concentrate and stay at ease. So I tried to keep myself calm and concentrated by staying on the topic of Bryin but not imaging his ass being kicked.

Slowly an image formed in my head. It was me and Bryin back at Genkai's temple…kissing. I quickly shook my head hoping that no one saw me turning the bright red I could feel myself turning. I quickly washed my thoughts away and tried it again. This time I got a different image. The image came as soon as the power surged hit its highest. Bryin surrounded by flames weak lying on the floor, possibly dead and Zetsu standing over him.

"NO!" I quickly yelled losing complete focuses and successfully distracting everyone else.

"What is it Yusuke?" Kurama was the first to jump to my aid.

"No, no! I have to help him!" I got up and ran to the battle.

"Yusuke! It's just the influence of the power waves, whichever is strongest at the moment you sense and feel… We have to get him back here." Kouken got up chasing after me along with the rest of the gang.

I got there and waves of power representing themselves as light whips lashed out at me and the gang forcing us back. I looked up to see Bryin and Zetsu hashing it out with each others swords at the others' neck.

"BRYIN!"

"Yusuke no!" Kouken tried to get me out of the battle arena.

Bryin turned to look at me. Time stopped right there. There was no definition to his look. It was as if he was there to battle only because Zetsu wouldn't leave him alone until he did. Time picking up speed again Zetsu took advantage of the moment and sent a black beam at Bryin hitting him dead on plowing him into the ground… and further…

Devastation washed over me. Was I going to be the cause of this lose? Shit…
