Disclaimer: I actually pulled out my YYH DVD just to watch the finals of the Dark Tournament. The whole thing with Yusuke and Toguro fascinates me to no end and I needed to check the quotes with Koto and Juri. Hey, nobody can blame me for that one since it is interesting to watch the various fights.
Disclaimer: I don't own YYH or anything else unless I say otherwise.
Chapter Twenty Eight
"Winner of the Dark Tournament! Team Urameshi!"
"That's right, people, don't kick your radios. The humans verifiably clinched an upset!"
She couldn't believe it. Yusuke and the others won.
Danielle started jumping with August, both girls squealing with excitement. They could leave now! "Girls." Evan said softly.
Both girls stopped and stared as Yusuke started yelling with tears rolling down her face. Laughter left their lips as Kuwabara jumped up and Yusuke started asking Kurama what was going on. "Wow, your cousin is violent." Evan commented as they watched him beat up Kuwabara.
"Yeah, but that's Yusuke for you."
They were silent as they watched Sakyo approach the group before ducking when the stadium began to shake. "Oh, fuck me." Danielle snapped when Koenma started walking away. "You two, go with the guys and help get the girls out."
"Where are you going?"
"To make sure Koenma's not doing anything stupid."
They didn't want to do anything like this again. Once a lifetime was just fine so they'd have to remember to let Koenma know that they didn't want any missions that involved bombs and psychopathic humans that wanted to tear down the Kakai barrier. Demons that escaped into Ningenkai caused enough troubles and they didn't need to worry about more.
Danielle and her friends stared at the remains of the stadium, glancing around at the survivors. There didn't seem to be many of them left but that was to be expected considering how the damn tournament ended. "Come on, guys." Danielle said softly. "Let's go back to the hotel."
"What about the guys?" August asked.
"They're the champions now. Nobody's gonna fuck with them."
Evan stared at her. "You're absolutely certain?" Evan questioned.
"Would you want to get into it with the dude that took down the resident bad ass?" Danielle asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Hell no!"
"Then let's go. They're safe which is a lot more than what I can say for Koenma later on."
Looking back at the winning team, the two followed their leader back towards the hotel.
Mmm… beds were nice. Peace was nice. Even the stench of alcohol and sex was something she had actually missed. She knew that she had missed time to herself without having to report any findings or assassinations but even her bedroom was like paradise to her at the moment.
Danielle closed her eyes as she laid on her bed, breathing in the soothing scents of her paints. No missions for a month after forcing them to go to such a low-class place. Stupid Reikai jackasses. When would Koenma learn not to make Yusuke do anything that would make the powerful people in the world mad?
Ring. Ring.
"No, Andrews, I'm not doing anything other than lying on my bed thinking about how nice it is to be home." Danielle said as soon as she heard Evan's voice on the phone.
"Nice to know but that's not why I'm calling."
The hell was that boy planning now? If he wanted to get her and August to start kissing then she was going to shove her foot up his butt. "I'm relaxing. Go screw yourself." Danielle grumbled.
"Tempting. I was thinking that maybe we could all go to the movies and to someplace for dinner."
Again: the hell was that boy planning now? "Andrews, I don't know how big humans are on personal space and I really don't care. We've all spent the past I don't care to think of how many days around each other. What I really, really want to do now is enjoy some alone time with me, myself, and I." Danielle informed the human boy.
"Pleeeeaaaaase? Danny, I'm dying of boredom here. I mean, the Dark Tournament was loads of fun and full of excitement and now I don't have an adrenaline high!"
All he wanted was a damn adrenaline high? "Look, if you want an adrenaline high then go onto your roof and hang from the gutter." Dainelle said with a frown as she buried her face in her pillow. "If that doesn't work, go sleep with some girl while her father's home. Just make sure that he's got a gun or else it won't work."
"Danny! Please, I'm literally dying of boredom here. I even called August and she said the same thing!"
Nice to know that she and the fox were on the same page when it came to voluntary solitary confinement. "Look, I'm going to explain something so I want you to listen very carefully. We've been around each other and have had people in our personal spaces for I don't care to think of how long." Danielle said, trying to be patient. "Personally, I'm tired of people so try again in two days. Until then, buy a motorcycle and attempt to do some stunts with it. Girls like guys that are bad ass."
"Fine."
Hanging up the phone, she covered her head with the pillow. Smiling softly to herself, she allowed herself to drift off to sleep.

Damn it! Where were these freaks coming from?
Irritation flashed across Evan's face as he dodged another attack. He thought he was the only psychic in the whole freaking town and now there were more of them? Something was seriously wrong.
Danielle had gotten called to the Reikai and came back reporting that some moron was drilling holes to the Makai. They didn't need to worry but some humans were being affected by the Makai's atmosphere to the point that they were gaining latent psychic abilities. "Those humans," Danielle said with a serious look, "have been limited to a single place but that's according to the Reikai."
"You think that it's spreading."
"Yeah. Keep your guards up at all times just incase I'm right. Don't confront anybody unless confronted."
Well, he had been confronted and now he was fighting just to stay alive. "Ladies and Gentlemen," Evan said when the guy he had been fighting had been knocked unconscious, "Evan Andrews."
lostmoonchild: I admit that I was stumbling around with this chapter a bit since I wasn't sure what I was going to do until after it worked itself out. For that, I'm actually quite grateful so I'll leave it alone for now. Thankfully this story's a good few weeks ahead of schedule with chapters being done so in the event I get writer's block, there are chapters done. Read and review, flames are accepted and will be used to bribe the muse with s'mores.
