The Nerima Wrecking Crew Chapter 16 Not in Japan anymore

Keisou flew out of the circle Jin pushed him through and landed in a heap on the ground.

' When I get my hands on him...wait where am I?' Keisou looked around and saw barren landscape in every direction. He took a breath but started coughing

'What the?' He kept coughing uncontrolably, everytime he tried to stop it just got worse. Soon the world started to fade around him. ' It's really going to suck if I die like this.' The young martial artist thought before passing out.

Keisou groaned as he regained conciousness.

" So, you're awake."

Keisou opened his eyes and saw an old man hovering over him. He was wrinkled all over and had grey hair but his body still looked in it's prime. He wore brown robes with various runes written on them.

" Who are you! Where am I? What happened?" The old man smiled.

" Quiko the Warlock doctor, Makai, my tribe saved you."

" Demon world? How the hell did I get there?" Keisou looked around and saw he was in a building made of bricks and laying in a bed of furs. There were various talismens and bottles of he didn't want to know what lining the walls.

" We don't know, one of our patrols merely found you. What's the last thing you remember?"

" One of my training partners pushed me into this circle of light then I ended up in this barren place and started coughing when I tried to breathe."

" You must have fell through a portal to Makai. In this world the very air is hostile and we had to give you a special elixir to save you."

" Ok...wait. You're human too. Why can you breathe this air?"

" I've lived here all my life, so did my father, and my grandfather, and my great grandfather and so on."

" There are humans living in makai." Keisou repeated unable to believe it.

" I know it's werid, but we're hardly human anymore. If you want to learn more, just ask the elders."

" I don't care how you got here, I just want to get back to my home!"

" Your home is a three day run from here." Said a new voice. Keisou looked toward to see a girl with long red hair, red eyes and wearing a red knee length dress that flared out. " That's where the Mazoku live."

" Listen girl! I'm a human!"

" You can't fool me! I'm a sorceress!"

" Ninaku, he's only half-demon."

" Hold it! I'm not half-demon! I'm human!"

" I know this is a shock but you are half-demon. When the patrol found you they said your aura was filling up with youki (demon energy)"

" Well they must have been wrong! Both my parents are human!"

" Stop shouting, I'm old but not deaf." Quicko said. " But I might be now." He muttered. " Who are your parents?"

" Yusuke Urameshi and..."

" You're Yusuke's son!" Both old man and young girl exclaimed.

" Yeah so?"

" Yusuke Urameshi is the ancestral son of Raizen, the fomer king of the Mazoku. You're his grandson." Quicko explained

" Look, my dad is not half-demon!" And with that he ran out.

" Should we go after him, Quicko-sama?" Ninaku asked.

" No, he has to settle this himself."

CRASH!

" They're here!" A voice from outside yelled.

Nermia

Homura and Akemi entered Uccan's. The pigtailed one literally had to drag her half demon friend away from her ramen lunch. The place was packed, an attractive women in a kimono was busily serving okonomiyki while a man was busy cooking behind his grill.

" Why are we here Hom-chan?"

" Because you need to eat something other then ramen Ak-chan. Ukyo-Obachan is a master Okonomiyaki chief, you'll like it."

POOF

There was a cloud of smoke obsuring the entrance, when it cleared a boy Homura's age stood tall. He had long brown hair pulled into a ponytail and colbalt eyes. His uniform was different from the girls.

" Ah Homura, do what do we owe the great pleasure of your arrival?" He asked with a cocky grin.

" Hello Ren." Homura eyed him suspicious. " What you do have planned this time?"

" Only a token of my affection, though it's beauty pales in comparion with your radiant self." he handed her a red rose. With a suffering air she accepted the rose. However the momment she touched it, the petals flew off, multiplied and circled her face in a heart shape.

" Ren I'm too hungery for your tricks." Homura patted away the petals and moved to the counter to order. Ren reached for her hand.

" Wait, you haven't introduced me to your lovely friend." Homura groaned.

" Ren meet Akemi, Akemi meet the annoying ninja flirt." she pulled her hand away and moved back to the counter.

" Akemi-san, if may say so, your feral beauty leaves me in awe." Ren then placed a kiss on her hand. Even though Daichi tried a similar line on her before, Akemi couldn't help blushing this time.

" Leave her alone Ren." The ninja's reply was a cocky grin.

" You took much longer then normal to arrive Homura."

" I was trying to put off seeing you."
" You wound me Homura, I was only concerned about you."

" Aren't there girls at your own school you can bother?" Homura turned away to order. " Ukyo-Obachan, two for me and my friend." The 'man' nodded.

" Isn't that your Oji?" Akemi asked.

" No Obachan just looks like a man." Homura pointed to the waitress. " That's Konastu-Ojichan."

" ..But...that's doesn't make any sense." Akemi protested.

" Welcome to Nerima Akemi-san. Few things here make sense." Ren said with a smile.

Back in Demon World

Keisou ran as fast he could until he was tired.

' I'm not half-demon.'

' Are you sure?' asked a voice in his head.

' Who are you?'

' Someone you already know. Continue going in that direction and you'll see what I mean.'

For lack of something better to do, Keisou continued going in the same direction. He soon came to a forest and smelled meat cooking and followed it to a campfire with some kind of meat over it. Throwing caution to the winds, he grabbed the meat and ate it.

"That's mine!" shouted a voice. Keisou looked up from his meal to see a black oni(ogre) a foot taller then he was at the other side of the camp.

" Snoze you lose." Keisou mumbled and went back to eating.

"Then I'll have to eat you instead!" And the oni made a grab for Keisou. Imagine his surprise when his prey grabbed his hand and flipped him over his shoulder.

" Please, you're a D class. I've fought stronger then you as a warm up."

' Finish him.' The voice said

' No way, I'm gonna mess with him.' Keisou picked him up and swung him around before throwing away. He accelerated ahead of the demon and clothlined him in midflight. Then he started stomping on the oni's stomach.

' Fool.'

" This is fun. Now I know why Homura likes beating on me all the time." ' Why am I thinking about her?'

The Oni made a werid call and suddenly Keisou was surrounded by a large of oni.

' Shit.' His Fists glowed blue and held them away from his body. " Double Barrel Shot Gun!" Dozens of Spirit Bullets were fired from both his fists towards the surrounding oni. The oni weren't expecting such an attack and most were nailed. 'Always follow up your attack, don't give them a chance to regroup. That's what Chuu said.'

The blue light on his fists reformed into blue blades the encompassed his hands. " Twin Tiger Claw!" Keisou leapt at the still recovering oni and slashed. He got one in the stomach with his left and followed it with an uppercut with his right through the oni's chin. Then he moved on to the next one and did the same. By now the remaining Oni had recovered and struck from all sides. One nailed him and then another got a hit in before he recovered and it snowballed from there. Punching him in the back, kicking him in the stomach, until one actidentally knocked Keisou out of their beating circle and gave him a chance to recover. Keisou reformed his Tiger Claws dove back into the melee, screaming. The voice in his head rubbed his proverbial forehead in irriation. After slashing his way back to the middle, he spun around in a circle while extending the reach of his claws to cut all the oni. Only one remained.

" What kind of Sorcerer are you?"

" Sorcerer? What are you talking about?"

" Aren't you from that village of human sorcerers we raided a few days ago?"

" No."

" Then what are you?"

" I'm Keisou Urameshi." When he sopke his last name the remaining oni trembled.

" I'm sorry! We didn't know the Spirit Detectives were guarding the village! If we did, we never would have attacked and taken their children!"

" Hold it, I'm not..."

' Play along.'

' Why?'

' The humans might be able to send you home, if you help them they'll owe you a favor.'

" Going to let you get away with this."

' Good, now make him take you to his hideout.'

" Take me to your hideout and I might forget to tell Spirit World about your raid." The oni nodded rapidly. The oni lead Keisou to a cave.

" This the place?"

" Yes."

" Thanks." Keisou began to walk in when he flinched.

' Idiot! There could be traps! Make him go first.'

" You go first." Keisou commanded and pushed the Oni into the cave, and nothing happened.

'...Well... there could've been traps.' Keisou walked into the cave, keeping the oni in front of him. There continued to be no traps for which Keisou mocked the voice in his head for. The Martial Artist and his prisoner soon came to a large chamber. Stalagtites hung from the ceiling and Stalamites rose up fromt he floor, giving the room the feeling like you were in some great beast's mouth. The walls were lined with stolen treasures including bound humans. Judging from the boiling pot next to them Keisou guessed they were going to be the lead oni's dinner. Said oni was sitting on a throne at the end of the room. He had black skin and red horns theat curved in a pincer formation on his forehead, his form was otherwise human in apperance. He wore expensive clothes Keisou guessed were stolen and was chugging liquior.

" Tipa why have you lead a human here?"

" He made me master, he's very strong."

" Comming from you that's not saying much." Said the lead oni. Keisou laughed.

" You have a great sense of humor, it's too bad I have to kill you."

" Big words from such a small human. You don't even look full grown yet." He pointed his palm at Keisou and fired an enormous blast of red youki. Keisou jumped out of the way but the lesser oni was vaporized. The lead oni took a feel for Keisou's power level.

" You're not that tough." Said the lead oni. " I am Snottixilaotoslsi the Leader of the Killer Shadow Band of Demon Thieves!"

" That's one hell of a long name, I'll just call you Snot." Keisou said with a smirk. 'Snot' death glared the Martial artist.

Keisou dashed forward to punch Snot but the oni grabbed Keisou's fist and spun around in the direction of Keisou's momentum and threw him in the opposing wall.

" I hope that's not all you've got, I need to work up an appetite," Said Snot. Keisou grimaced and stood up.

" I haven't even started yet."

Amoung the captives was Ninaku. When the Oni attacked her village she joined in the fight, but was overpowered and knocked out. When she woke up she she was in the Oni's lair, tied up and gagged so she couldn't cast any spells. However, she had found a rock sharp enough to cut rope and was waiting for the time when she wasn't being watched to escape. Now that the flunkie oni were dead, and the boss was distracted, this was her chance. She rubbed the rock against the rope on her wrists painstakingly trying to avoid attracting attention.

Keisou punched and kicked Snot but every attack with avoided.

" You're out of your league kid." Snot drove home this fact with a rapid series of punches to Keisou's stomach, with one sending him crashing into a stalagmite.

' Twin Tiger Claw' Keisou shouted mentally as he charged with claws bared, but still he was evaded. One more beatdown, one more crash into a stalamite.

Ninaku had finished cutting the ropes binding her and freed someone else.

" Get the others out of here. I'll help the half-demon." Her companion nodded and went to work. Ninaku cupped her hands, muttered something and a red flame appeared.

" Spirit Gun!" Snot batted away the spirit bullet with the back of his hand.

" Don't you get it human? You can't beat me." Then he howled in pain as a fireball hit him.

" I can beat you!" Said Ninaku, holding another fireball in her hand. Before she could throw it he had already punched her in the gut.

' Opening!' Keisou jumping forward to bring a Tiger Claw into the back of Snot's forehead. Snot countered this by grabbing Ninaku and throwing her into Keisou, knocking them both to the floor.

" Stop getting in my way!" Keisou shouted at Ninaku.

" Why should I? You can't handle him!" Ninaku shouted back.

" Excuse me."

" What is it?" They both shouted and saw Snot standing right next to them. He banged their heads together and threw them into the cave wall.

" You're distracting me!" Keisou said and ran towards Snot. Ninaku 'hmft'ed and starting chanting another spell.

" Spirit of Fire burning bright

Lend me thy great strength

let thy power gather in my hand to incenerate my foes!

FIREBALL!" She launched her spell over Keisou's head towards Snot. He batted it away but then was unperpared for Keisou who slashed at his face, making a big gash. He grabbed at it in pain.

" No more playing around." He said in fury. " I will destroy both of you now!" He erupted in youki and fired it all at Keisou and Ninaku.

' I hope I'm ready for this.' Keisou thought and held his hands like he was catching a ball. When the blast hit he felt like his body was going to be vaporized.. The blast started pushing him back. His became silted and turned briefly red, then he stopped moving back.With a final push he forced the energy back.

" Spirit Reflection Blast!" Snot was not prepared for his own attack to be sent back at him and was hit full force. The explosion kicked up a large dust cloud.

" Yeah! I got him!"

" You would've gotten slaughtered with out my help."

" I'm the one that killed him!"

" Pathetic humans! You won't beat me that easy!" Snot emerged from the dust cloud. He looked badly injured but he still had plenty of fight left.

" Hanyou, listen closely."

" My name is Keisou."

" Fine Keisou, I have a plan but I need you to keep him busy for a few minutes."

" I'll kill him before then." and Keisou dashed off. Ninaku rolled her eyes and began chanting.

" Darkness beyond twilight, grey beyond clouds that storm. Buried in the stream of time is where your power is born. In thy great name I pledge to darkness! May the fools who stand before me be destroyed, by the power that you and I possess! DRAGON SLAYER!"

The Sorceress released the spell at Snot just Keisou was thrown aside by him. The oni barely hade time to scream in agony before the blast obliterated him and smashed through the cave wall and exploded, shattering the ceiling and breaking

Later once they dug themselves out of the rubble of the cave.

" What the hell did you do that for?"

" I was trying to kill the oni!"

" YOU ALMOST KILLED US!" Ninaku turned away from him.

" It worked didn't it?"

Ninaku walked away, then the ground gave out beneath her and she fell through pitfal to a cavern beneath the rubble. Without hesitation Keisou dove after her and caught her in one arm. Then fired a spirit gun towards the floor to push himself back up through the hole. Then he focused spirit energy to his feet like Jin and Touya taught him to slightly hover above the debris and avoid any more pitfalls.

" You ok? That was a long way down." He asked. Ninaku just nodded, suddenly noticing as cute he was close up. He put her on her feet but she collasped. " Looks like you hurt your ankle, I've have to take you back to your village." he picked her up and carried her.

' He put himself at risk to save me in the chasm and now he's taking home.He's not so bad for a mazoku.' Ninaku thought and snuggled closer.

Human Village in Makai

The martial artist was being formally thanked by the Village Elder. It wasn't everyday one of their own was saved by a half-demon.

" Keisou, Thank you so much for your help." Despite his title, The Elder didn't look much more regal then the others. Same robes as Quicko, was old and surprisingly fit.

" No problem it was fun."

" If there's anything we can do to repay you, just name it"

" Well I was hoping you'd know how to get me back to Human World." Keisou asked. The Elder put a hand on his chin thoughtfully.

" I suppose we could use to spell that brought us to Demon World and just reverse the origin and desination it could work."

" So you'll do it?"

" But it's been such a long time since our ancestors used it, no one knows the spell. It could take a while to find the scroll that contains the spell and then make the neccesary changes."

" How long?"

" It could be months." Keisou groaned.

" Whar do I do untill then?"

' Come find me, I have answers you seek about your heritage.' Said the voice in his head.

" I think I'll look for answers to my heritage."

" In that case I'll have a travel bag made ready for you."

Ninaku walked up to Keisou as he was leaving the village

" Hey...Keisou."

" Yeah?"

" Um... I was wondering if I could come with you, to show you were the Mazoku live." The Sorererss asked, blushing slightly.

" Sure."

" Oh and The Elder said he'll contact you when the spell is ready."

" Ok, ready to go?"

" Yeah."
