Here's another chapter! Alot quicker than the lat one's huh? Well enjoy.
Yumi
"They will be arriving shortly, start preparing." Sensui commanded.
Gourmet smirked, lifting Kuwabara to toss him into the boat. He leapt after him, trading places with Itsuki, who set his sights on me.
"Wait what are you?" I began. He hoisted me off the ground, and put me in a choke hold.
At the caves entrance Kurama, Hiei, and Yusuke appeared with a blonde haired boy.
"You guys Ughhh..." I tried to greet before Atsuki's arm tightened around my neck.
"Yumi just stay still until we can get you." Kurama instructed.
"Urameshi your late." Kuwabara said barely audible.
"Were commin Kuwabara!" Yusuke promised. "This is some welcoming party you've got in this cesspool Sensui."
"It's a beautiful view isn't it?" Sensui asked. "I tell you, you can keep you're sunsets and crystal blue oceans, and snow-capped mountains. Just give me a view to the end of human civilization and I'm the happiest man alive. Your witnessing history my friends, and trust me you couldn't ask for better seats."
...
Yumi
We only had thirty minutes till all hell broke loose, literally. Hands began to reach past the opening swinging for Kuwabara.
"Get away from their hands!" Yusuke instructed.
"Don't you think I'm trying!" Kuwabara retorted. One eventually succeeded in grabbing hold of his neck.
"Hey let him go!" Yusuke screamed.
"Kuwabara!" I lunged only to be choked back again by Itsuki.
"What did Kurama tell you!" Hiei growled. "Stay put!"
I immediately stopped struggling, and gazed down in defeat. I was beginning to feel dizzy anyway.
"When the judgment comes you simple apparitions can eat whatever you like." Sensui raised his hand. "Until then don't spoil dinner." He sent a purple orb frying the demons hands away from Kuwabara.
Sensui looked at the tunnel fondly. "The ones gathered there are mostly C-class demons. All they can think about now is food. The more reasonable, intelligent ones should eventually grow to B-class." He then went on to talk about the A-Class and S-Class demons.
"Spare me the pep rally, your gunna kill people you were suppose to protect." Yusuke accused.
"My job was to protect the universe as a whole." Sensui corrected. "And that's exactly what I'm doing. I've been trying to enlighten you Yusuke, didn't you hear the doctors words? Humanity is a disease."
"Can't you guys do this debate thing after saving us!" Kuwabara asked frustrated.
"Killing humans can't be that horrific to you, you'd of killed the doctor if Genkai hadn't been there, and Kurama killed a human child." Sensui smirked.
What? Kurama was the one who killed Amanuma?
"We had to it was for the greater good." Yusuke justified.
"And what if every human was bad?" Sensui questioned.
"I don't deal in what if's." Yusuke glared.
"Mr. Makihara." Sensui called smirking. Gourmet perked up and jumped off the boat to Sensui's side. "If you can kill Mr. Makihara right now, I'll give the girl and Kuwabara back to you unharmed."
"What?" Yusuke breathed.
"Say yes! Say yes!" Kuwabara urged.
Gourmet stepped forward babbling things about the blonde haired boy being indebted to Kuwabara. He turned to Kurama next. "You're a lot more torn up about game master than Yusuke believes. Not only do you feel guilt you're embarrassed. Yuoko Kurama would never be so weak."
What was he talking about? It's as if he's reading their minds.
Yusuke suddenly got angry when Gourmet talked about devouring someone named Mirota. Kurama placed a hand on his shoulder. "I'll take this one Yusuke, don't argue I am not in the mood." He advanced facing off Gourmet, and reached unto his hair pulling a rose out.
He stood still and with the flick of a wrist his rose whip encircled Gourmet's mouth, decapitating him.
Oh my gosh. I thought amazed.
"Rely on impulse and even you're thoughts won't betray you. Now come out Tugoro." Everyone flinched at the news. "Did you think I wouldn't notice? I could smell you're stench as we entered the cave."
It was that laugh again. The very same one that had me quivering in fear. The body suddenly rose, and the Elder Toguro's head sprouted from the dead man's body. That just made this ten times harder.
"It seems you're powers have improved in you're human form though the red hair isn't as pretty as the silver." He snickerd.
At Yusuke's trying to understand how the brother was alive, the monster decided to explain himself. "I overcame and absorbed this man's 'Gourmet' ability. As to how I was alive to do it is simple. I regenerated slowly in the sea sending out a special energy wave." The brother explained. "That only powerful and evil beings can hear. I was prepared to wait for years, but surprisingly someone showed up, almost immediately. A human of all things, and he said he'd bring me vengeance. Isn't that how you remember it Sensui?"
Sensui chuckled. "When he told me all about the actions of Yusuke, my successor, it sort of felt like fate." Sensui smiled softly. "Now I'm certain it was. And it's time to fulfill that fate by turning my plants into reality . . . And kill everyone." From out in the boat, Kuwabara tried shouting about how crazy in the head Sensui is, but it was muffled. "I gathered like-minded companions. Those who could be given abilities from the tunnel's influence."
"Including this brainless oaf." Tugoro continued, pointing to the body. "He ate me thinking I'd been the one betrayed. He had no idea what he'd swallowed. The best was when he realized what was happening, and when he became afraid. I felt it and it was wonderful." He laughed. "A fear so thick I could eat it."
"That is enough." Kurama said menacingly. "You've survived for far too long, And now it ends."
Tugoro laughed boasting his new found powers and strength. "I can regenerate my body forever and absorb any conceivable power! I'M INVINCIBLE! And I'll start with yours!"
As he ran full speed to attack, smoke shot from Kurama's body. Shielding the battle from our eyes. Soon Tugoro's screaming erupted from the fog.
"That freak's screams are all I hear." Yusuke complained. "Either he's beating the hell out of Kurama or someone's found where he's ticklish." After a few seconds he growled. "That's it I'm going in. If it pisses off Kurama he can sue me."
"Wait." Yusuke was cut off by Hiei. "Why don't you look to you're left." Hiei motioned with his head. Over in the far end Kurama made his exit unscathed.
"The deed has been done." Kurama stated.
"What does that mean?" Yusuke looked at the smoke confused. "I'd sure like to know who he's screaming at. I've only got a few creative ideas."
Suddenly, the smoke cleared, and the sight was unnerving. Toguro was wrapped up in a weird looking tree, and apparently seeing hallucinations. Kurama explained for us. "It's the sinning tree."
"The sinning tree?" Yusuke sounded out. "Sounds a bit heavy."
"It ensnares you're mind with hallucinations of wickedness while it sucks away you're life." Kurama continued.
"Wow that's freaky." Yusuke commented. "So he still think he's fighting you?" Suichi responded with a yes. "But how'd you get him all hooked up on it?"
"I used my rose whip to plant the seed, when I took off gourmet's skull." Kurama answered.
"Way to plant things ahead." Yusuke joked.
"Clever." Hiei added. "The smoke screen wasn't just to hide your whereabouts, it was also a trigger for the illusions to take affect."
"I didn't want to leave any chance." Kurama began encircling the tree. "It won't stop until it's host is dead and as you've said Tugoro you're regenerative powers make you unable to die. You will suffer for eternity. So be it, rouges like you deserve to be damned."
I made a mental note to never make Kurama angry.

Carrie
The wind had picked up and the clouds turned dark. The foreboding of a storm.
"Oh dear they've been down there forever." Botan observed. "What's taking them so long?"
"Patience Botan, it's the end of the world you can't just flip it off with a switch." Genkai said.
"I know." She admitted.
"We have to trust the weapons we've got and cross our fingers." Genkai added.
Ugh this is so boring. I thought. I should just march in there now, pretty boy doesn't scare me. Well maybe a bit. I shook my head. No! No! No! I would not let him intimidate me. When they turned their backs, I would enter the cave and find Yumi.
