Return to the Makai
Thanks to all of my reviewers. I really appreciate it. Keep reading!
Quick note: Some fights will be extremely short. Each chapter is one fight, so some chapters will only be a couple of pages long. The final battle will be a double battle and will be longer.
Warnings: Character death. Several main characters and several OC's will die. Don't flame if I character you like dies, it's a part of the story. It's necessary for the plot.
- Battle 1: Yusuke vs. Sihjo-
Team Urameshi was gathered around Koenma's desk. Kurama, Jauna, Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei, Genkai, Botan and Shiori were preparing to receive the instructions that Sashika was supposed to send.
"Okay, before we go over Sashika's instructions, we need to figure out a few things. We need a commander. I would like Kurama to do that. We have plenty of healers. Yukina is not here, but she will be one. Genkai, Kurama, Jauna and Botan will also be healers when they are not fighting. Here is the paper for Sashika's instructions. Her main priority included battles. She wants to fight Kara. She has a fighter for Kurama, too. She didn't say who it is, but I have a feeling that it's someone we don't like. She said that they will be coming to Japan. They want to fight in the Ningenkai."
Yusuke looked up from the paper that he was holding, "You mean she's gonna bring her little grudge to the human world and put our families lives in danger? I won't allow that. We'll just have to stop her before she does any damage."
"Yes, you will. I believe that the portal she uses will be located just outside the southern edge of Tokyo. Kurama, I believe that's where you and your mother live."
"Yes, but it depends on the area."
"Well, I do know that there is a supermarket right down to road from there. It's a large, empty field right next to a white house."
"Oh, Shuichi, that's our house!" Shiori's eyes were wide in surprise. Kurama looked down, not responding to his mother's statement. Everyone could feel the tension building up as their arena was revealed. Without looking up, Kurama asked, "How will we avoid alerting the humans?"
"I can put up a barrier," said Jauna.
"Okay, now that that's settled, let's go," said Koenma.
KURAMA'S POV-
I fear for the safety of my friends, mother, sister and myself. Looking back on the group discussion, I wonder who Sashika's mystery fighter is. It probably has something to do with my past, since she was an old friend of Kara's. I don't know. I stay calm, but deep down, I'm terrified. We sit at my house, waiting for Sashika to arrive from Makai. Mother has the television on and everyone except for Hiei, Kara & I are watching it. They are watching some show about some Italian cities from millennia ago. I believe Jauna called it 'Pompeii.' (I was watching this while I wrote this part of the chapter) I watch the large lot beside our house, waiting for our fate to play out. Jauna whispers in my ear in the kitsune language, "I can feel through the portal. They are near."
I whisper back, "Okay, let's get the fighters outside and keep the healers in here. Set up the barrier." Jauna nodded, walking to the TV room to tell the others.
REGULAR POV-
Kurama and Hiei were outside first, followed by Shiori, Jauna, Yusuke, Kuwabara and Koenma. Botan and Genkai helped set up inside for the healers before joining the other fighters outside. A blue hole appeared between two of the trees in the yard. Sashika appeared, walking through the portal and into the yard. She was followed by several demons. One fighter was cloaked. He was obviously Sashika's mystery fighter for Kurama. They stopped several feet away from the Reikai fighters.
Sashika held her hand out to her side and a demon stepped forward, "The first fight will be Yusuke vs. Sihjo."
Yusuke stepped up, glaring at Sihjo. Sihjo had short black hair, one brown eye and was very short. He wore a loincloth- type garment that was green. He carried several small daggers at his waist. Everyone else moved to the sides to give the fighters room. Sihjo drew a dagger from his right side. He made the first move, lunging at Yusuke. The spirit detective dodged the demon's attack. Yusuke began to charge up his spirit gun, hoping that Sihjo would stay still long enough for him to get a clear shot. The kappa-like demon was circling his opponent. Yusuke began to do the first thing that came to mind: he began walking towards the barrier. He cornered himself in a corner where two pieces of fence met. Sihjo stopped moving and faced his opponent, "You backed yourself into a corner. What do you expect to do now?"
Yusuke put his hand down. His energy stopped channeling into his finger. He charged up the spirit wave. (I don't know how this goes, so bear with me.) His energy began to accumulate in his hand. Sihjo stared, trying to figure out what Yusuke was doing.
Yusuke shouted, "SPIRIT WAVE!" He sent the blast toward Sihjo. Yells of pain could be heard through the blinding light. The screams got quieter. The light began to die down, revealing a stunned demon. He gave a final cry before exploding in a blast of blue light.
Sashika had a look of surprise in her eyes. She had not expected that fight to end so quickly.
Meanwhile, Koenma and Botan were at the portal, trying to close it before any more demons came through. They already had too many demons above upper B-class. Right now, Botan was swinging her bat at a couple of demons trying to go through. Something wasn't right about these two. They felt like lower S-class demons, but they looked so weak. They managed to squeeze through. Koenma then stepped in front, holding his hands up in martial arts position. The demons both picked a blade of grass. This worried Botan. She looked over by the fighters. Kurama and Jauna were there, so who were the two creatures in front of her? Only fox demons could control plants and they rarely got any more powerful than C-class. The only species capable of reaching S-class was the youko species and the two kitsune tantei were the last of their kind.
While Botan pondered, Koenma tried to fight off the angry demons. They were advancing on him with grass swords. Botan screamed as Koenma's cry filled the air.
-End Chapter-
Can anyone guess who the two mystery demons are? Can anyone guess who Sashika's fighter is? Well, we'll find out next time on: Double Battle: Kara and Kurama vs. Sashika and the Mystery Fighter.
