Scene 29 ------------------------------------------- Seikyou
Yomi and Yusuke make small talk as they enter the village about an hour later, not trying to draw too much attention to themselves. Yomi- We should spar together sometime. Yomi tilts his head toward Yusuke with a puzzled expression. Yusuke- What? You never changed Shura's diaper? Yomi chuckles deeply. Yomi- (Quietly) You're looking for an old wooden sign with his name on it. Yusuke looks around and spots it. He spells the name out to Yomi. Yusuke- H-I-R-O-S-H-I-Y-A? Yomi nods as they adjust their direction. Yomi- Eyes can be useful, as well. They both grow quiet as they enter the noisy, bustling establishment. The owner recognizes them immediately as they approach the counter. Hiroshiya- Well, I'll be d---ed... The skinny Worm Demon's countenance brightens. Hiroshiya- Ahh!! So you've heard about my hottest new...? Yusuke reaches across the counter and yanks the skinny, slimy demon's face closer by his rubbery neck. Yusuke- Well, eww.. This is mildly disgusting... Look you, Slimebag! That Banshee might be a friend of mine. Yusuke shoves his glowing right index finger in Hiroshiya's paling face. Yomi feels the spike in Yusuke's energy and calmly looks away. Hiroshiya- Lord Y-Yomi, s-sir.. Surely you wouldn't... Yusuke shoves the Worm Demon away, then heads toward a door, wiping his hand on the back of a drunken patron at the bar. Yomi turns to start following Yusuke until his ears catch a snapping sound behind him. In the next instant Yomi spins and splatters Hiroshiya with a blast of his energy against the wall behind the bar. Immediately the top level of the Brothel empties out, except for the drunken patron at the bar. Yusuke looks up as Yomi meets him at the door to the lower level. Yomi- Looks like I've just taken possession of another one. They head down the narrow stairwell. Yusuke- How many do you own? They come to room ten. It has a 'Busy' sign hanging on the doorknob. Yusuke- Here we are... Oh h---, he has a visitor. Yusuke easily kicks the door in. Yomi scowls. Yomi- Patience really isn't one of your strongpoints. When they enter the small, grungy room, they find a naked, half-drunken leech demon glaring up at them. Yusuke- You?!! Dugado's words are lost, along with his head, as Yusuke fires a quick blast from his finger. Yusuke- I have temper issues, too. Yomi removes the headless remains as Yusuke hurries to check the nearly unconscious demon that was under Dugado. The demon's black-marked body is filthy, bruised, and bleeding from several bites as well as the rounded area that Dugado was attached to on his chest. Yusuke swipes the matted blue, untied hair away so he can get a look at his face. Yusuke swallows hard. Yusuke- (Quietly) Shishi. Yusuke takes out his compact communicator quickly. Yusuke- Yo, Koenma!! The response is almost immediate. Koenma- Yes, Yusuke? Yusuke looks back up at Yomi when he hands him his overcoat. Yomi- I recognize this one's signature now... Make him decent... I have plenty more coats... This one deserves that much. Yomi steps back when he hears a portal whir open nearby. Yusuke wraps the coat around Shishi. He then gathers the frail, beaten body up and hurries through the portal.
Yusuke- I'll pencil you into my schedule... Somewhere between diaper changes and burping.
Yomi- He never wore any.
Yusuke- Oh.. Yeah... I forgot he was popped out of a tank of goo...
Yomi- Yes.
Yusuke- It's over here.
Yomi- Hiroshiya, is that how you greet your ruler?
Hiroshiya- I would bow, but my back's...
Yusuke- We're looking for a male Banshee.
Yomi- Take us to him, Hiroshiya.
Hiroshiya- H-him?? Who t-told you...?
Yomi- Hiroshiya,.. do you really want to test my Toushin friend's patience any further?
Hiroshiya- Now wait! I caught that slut fair an' square! Do you know how rare a male Banshee is?? I'm finally getting out of the red...
Yusuke- Do you know how rare it is for one territory Lord to allow another to do target practice in his territory?
Yusuke- Five.
Hiroshiya- You wouldn't dare let this outsider...!
Yusuke- Four.
Yomi- I'm blind, Hiroshiya. I can't see a thing.
Yusuke- Three... My finger's starting to itch...
Hiroshiya- Alright!! D---! The b---- is downstairs in room ten... S---, the half-dead freak ain't worth my life anyhow...
Yomi- Not really sure... But this is my fifth foreclosure this week.
Yusuke- Uh huh...
Yomi- Should we...?
Dugado- Who're you...?!
Yomi- Indeed.
Yomi- It is him?
Yusuke- Yeah... He's a real mess, too...
Yomi- His signature is very weak... Too weak...
Yusuke- I found him... But he's in real bad shape...
Koenma- I'll open a portal... Botan and Yukina are standing by!
Yusuke- Thanks, Yomi... I owe you another one.
