Back in the school Keiko, Ruby and Botan run away from the infected people that had blocked the only exit they had of the school. Of course, they could have used the Water-Bender's talent, but Botan and Ruby also doesn't want to expose the supernatural to the brunette, and because of that, they unfortunately have to make a plan in the old-fashioned way.
Eventually the girls found a safe place where they can catch a small break, and have some time to think what to do from where they are now.
"Thanks for helping me out there." Keiko thanked the girls as she fell onto her knees. "You're that girl Miyuki and Yusuke was with on the roof, aren't you?" She asked as she snapped her gaze at Botan, who flinched a little in surprise.
"Uum, yes but-." The Young Grim reaper was about to answer the brunette girl cuts in.
"If there is something going on between you and Yusuke, well, I can't stop that, but tell me where he is." Keiko pleaded to the bluenette girl for information, clearly wanting to know how Yusuke was and make sure he is alright. She fears of him getting into something again and she doesn't want to lose him just like last time in that carcrash.
"There is no need to worry about that Keiko dear." Ruby said with a reassuring but also soothing voice. "The both of us are just friends with him and his sister."
"What?" Keiko asked curiously.
"Yes, and I can guarantee you that Yusuke is all yours." Botan added with a small and nervous sweat rolling from the side of her face. "But why don't we work out those details after we escaped from the hundreds of infected humans who want to kill you."
"Okay, but how are we going to do that?" Ruby asked. "The whole building has been surrounded."
"Hmm. . ." Keiko hummed thoughtfully. "Maybe we should try at least to call for some help."
"Good idea." The young Grim Reaper agreed. Ruby sighed but also go along with the plan.
As quietly as they can, the three of them made it inside the building and to their luck, undetected. They also managed to find a phone to use, but to their unfortunate, it was unfunctional.
"The phone line has been cut." Keiko informed the girls.
"I'm afraid they are getting smarter." Botan replied with a solemn tone.
"Aren't they any more phones here somewhere?" Ruby asked the brunette girl. "Anywhere else?"
"Maybe there are in the Teacher's Lounge." Keiko guessed before she and the other two made their way toward the said direction.
"I always loved the way you think." The bluenette girl gave her compliments as they arrived at the mentioned place. They slid open the door silently and looked around with caution. As soon as they opened the door, they saw a figure sitting on the desk.
"Mr. Takenaka!" Keiko called out instantly and rushed toward the teacher with the two girls right behind her trail. "Mr. Takenaka, I need your help! There are hundreds of people outside and they are trying to-." Just as her hand tapped Mr. Takenaka's back, the teacher leaned forward and ended up falling flat on his face. The girls gasped in horror as soon as they saw the blank expression on his face with one bright red mark on his cheek.
"He is out!" Ruby informed the girls as she examined the man.
"Oh Dear. . ." The bluenette girl breathed out in shock. But as they were busy trying to wake up the man. . .
"Yukimora!" The infected Mr. Takenaka called out with that with a mad grin and a crazed look in his eyes. Keiko screamed out in fright but the Water-Bender quickly jumped to action. She looked down at the table and saw a mug there. Ruby picked it up without hesitation and threw it at the infected man's head, making him cry out in pain and distract him enough to get away.
"This way!" The bender girl exclaimed before grabbing Keiko by the wrist and bolt out of the room with Botan not far behind. As the girls were frantically running for their lives, Suzaku could only chuckle in amusement at the screen while Yusuke tried his best not to blow up.
"You should feel fortunate most Yusuke." The Saint Beast said smoothly with a mocking laughter escaping from his lips. "Not everyone's girlfriend gets a star in a horror movie, let alone have a sister who is so lucky enough to have the most powerful demon as her future husband." In reply The Urameshi boy grit his teeth. "Of course, the films in my city are somewhat different. Demons usually don't care much for happy endings. Yet I am going to get one, once I have my precious Miyuki in my arms."
The male Spirit Detective clenched his fists, making his clutches go white as his rage just reached its peeks.
"You think you can control us, don't you?!" Yusuke spatted in rage and disgust.
"Us?" Suzaku queried a brow questioningly.
"Me and my sister!" The male Spirit Detective growled before sprinting toward the Saint Beast and raise one fist up. "CONTROL THIS, YOU BASTARD!" He then began to rapidly punch the demon, but every time a fist is landed, Suzako blocked it with one hand with no sweat. A small pause later Yusuke landed another, but powerful punch, but instead of reaching the Saint Beast's face, it hit the floating long scarf. The teen thug growled in frustration before looking up at the strawberry-blonde demon, who was floating in the air. "Funny thing about hanging in the air. . ." The Urameshi boy commented as he prepared his Spirit Gun. "It's really hard to dodge." Then he pointed his finger gun at the Saint Beast. "SPIRIT GUN!" The huge blast of blue energy shot out and made its way right at Suzaku, but he didn't move nor flinched in fear. Instead, he hit it away with his forearm. "WHAT?!" Yusuke exclaimed flabbergasted as he watched his spirit bullet broke through the ceiling instead of his original target.
"Your blast is very powerful." Suzaku commented to the Spirit Detective who had been frozen in pure shock. The demon landed back to the floor with the Whistle perfectly fine in one hand while the other, that had been blocking the attacks was smoking from the small heat the Spirit Gun attack. "You actually made my hand numb with that last attack." The last Saint Beast admitted as he blew the smoke away. "It's a very good thing you can't hit me with it or I might be in some trouble."
Yusuke growled in frustration as he angrily ranted to himself in his mind about how all of his training with Genkai and Yara are down in the garbage can.
"Let me hold the Makai Whistle for a moment while you drain away his life." Murugu offered as she flew toward her beloved master like the loyal subject she was.
"Thank you Muguru, but that isn't necessary. I'll destroy him with one hand." Replied the Saint Beast with confidence.
"Hey, thanks a lot!" The Urameshi boy snapped before lighting strikes through the sky above them.
"I just love the revelation." Suzaku said smugly.
"My pleasure!" Snarled the Spirit Detective. Suzaku closed his eyes then his right hand reached up for the sky.
"Ooo, Suzaku! You're using that technique on a human?" Murugu asked excitedly before turning to the thug boy. "You're going to die! You're going to die!" She taunted while laughing in delight. More lightning boomed like bombs in the world war. The bolt of lightning strikes once more, but this time it went right at Suzaku and charged him up. In the bright light, Yusuke couldn't see. He had to cover his eyes in order not to go blind.
"Give me a break!" The male Spirit Detective exclaimed as he got the courage to open his eyes again, only to witness the Saint Beast holding up a ball of energy that was made out of nothing more than the lightning itself. "Who does this guy think he is?!" Yusuke yelled in disbelief. "You can't hold lighting." He said, mostly to convince himself despite his eyes only seeing what is in front of them.
"Are you ready?" Suzaku asked before charging at the male Spirit Detective. Yusuke quickly jumped up, but the enemy doesn't let him get away, so he jumped as well. "Storm of Torment!" The Beast shouted as he attempted to threw his attack at the teen boy. Yusuke quickly dodged by jumping out of the way, but he still got a small taste from the lightning attack that just brushed his side. . . and that small stroke happened to be as deadly as hell. A scream of pain escaped through Yusuke's throat as his body was surrounded by orange electricity.
Suzaku landed back onto his feet while Yusuke fell flat on his face and stomach, eyes as blank as a canvas while shock was written on his expression. His body was switched off. He couldn't move it one bit.
"Look at him rise, Suzaku, I just love when they do that." The flying bird creature commented with pure delight. Yusuke weakly got up to his knees with the help of his hands that are trembling along with every inch of his bones that are shaking like the leaves in the strong wind. The demon approached the struggling Spirit Detective.
"You'll find that the energy will seek you out like lightning to a rod, but take hard, you are the first human to ever survive my technique." Suzaku said.
"You must feel so proud." Murugu chimed in, mocking Yusuke even further.
"You have much more spirit energy than the other pawns King Yama sent after me in the past, but it ill never be enough to ruin my great plans." The Saint Beast told him with confidence. "As soon as you rise, I'll have to finish this. Why don't you stay down and watch the end of Keiko's movie?"
"She won't be easy to shove in the corner you know!" Yusuke spatted as he raised himself up to one knee. "Keiko is no fighter, but she's plenty tough and she's not following your stupid script!" The speech made Suzaku laugh. "She's not, and neither am I!" As the teen said that he took off his shoes and used them as gloves. He shifted into a fighting stance and clapped the bottom of his shoes together. "Let's do this asshole!" The sight in front of Suzaku made him laugh in disbelief along with his green female bird.
"I trust you're not being serious." The Saint beast taunted. Murugu laughed maniacally as she flew away from her master's shoulder.
"Don't you see what he's doing, Suzaku?" The bird mocked, clearly finding all this humorus. "He thinks he can block lightning with his rubber shoes, you're truly an idiot, you might as well block a cannonball with paper." She laughed, getting on the boy's nerve even more.
"Why don't you go lay an egg or something?!" Yusuke screamed at the bird to shut her up, but she just kept laughing.
"Yusuke Urameshi, you are my perfect justification." Suzaku told him. "You are why demons should take place of humans on Earth. You are an idiot race that deserves extinction. Your sister must be ashamed to relate to such creatures like yourself."
"SHUT YOUR FACE!" Yusuke snapped back. "She might hate me at times and can be mean, but deep down I know she never stopped caring just like I never stopped loving her. In fact, knowing her she would be ashamed to spend the rest of her life with some stupid bastard like yourself!" The remark did not sit well with Suzaku and as a result, he prepared for another lightning attack.
"Prepare Yourself!" The blonde-demon warned before leaping up into the air with the lightning charging up his hand.
Back on Earth the girls had been cornered by a smaller group from the infected humans. There was not way out, just three walls and the people who are being ordered to kill Keiko.
"Here we are. . . in the corner. . ." Botan shakily stated as she stared at the people in front of her.
"I'm the person those sickos as following." Keiko said with a serious tone. "Let me lead them to one side so you two can get away."
"I agree that you would make a wonderful distraction, but you also need to stay alive." Ruby told her as her stare was still glued to the infected people. "We need to figure out how we can deal with them together."
"Well, we reasonably good athletic girls with a couple of sets of fists, don't we?" Botan asked the two.
"Yes." The brunette girl replied. "Honestly I was hoping you wouldn't accept my offer."
"There has to be something." The bluenette girl breathed out. Just then all three of them saw the fire extinguisher nearby. That gave them an idea. "Girls, are you thinking what I am thinking?"
"I'll go with Keiko and on the count to three we go there and you do your thing." The Water Bender butts in, earning nods from the two girls.
"One-Two-Three!" The girls counted before setting their plan into motion. Keiko and Ruby went to distract the infected people while Botan goes to the extinguisher. The brunette girl slapped the people harshly while the bender had punched and kicked a couple of them far away. However, because of their huge number, it didn't take long for the two to get trapped within the human zombie's grasp. Thankfully though Botan came to their rescue and shot the fire extinguisher, knocking the people toward the wall and letting go of the girls.
"Hurry! Let's go!" Botan told them before throwing the object from her hand and turn on her heels. A gasp escaped from the Grim Reaper when she saw the infected Iwamoto there.
"Hold on Botan!" Both Ruby and Keiko cried out but before that man could even touch the teen girl, someone hit Iwamoto in the head and knocked him unconscious. The three girls looked down at the infected person before looking at their rescuer.
"Gosh, I had been waiting so long for this moment!" The perfectly healthy man groaned as he rubbed his wrist and glare down at his coworker's blue form on the ground.
"Mr. Yoshida!" Keiko cried out in surprise.
"Let's keep moving!" The Water-Bender girl firmly stated before the now group of four began to run for their lives.
I kept slicing and cutting those bastards like they were nothing but a piece of cake, but no matter how many did I managed to take down the new ones kept coming like factory items from the assembly line. I hated it with all my heart. How can these things keep on coming?
"They just keep coming!" I exclaimed out of frustration as I sliced another one of those veggie heads who tried to tackle me down. Well, looks like they're getting a little smart. Not much but a little.
"We got to find some way to get to Urameshi." Kazuma said as he finished off another zombie creature.
"Yes Kuwabara, I have a strong sense that he needs out help." Rosehead agreed tiredly earning a nod from Hien and I. Of course, my brother needs our help but how are we gonna do that if these bastards keep coming out of the oven fresh?!
"I hope you guys are behind me!" Kazuma yelled as all four of us charged at the newcomers.
I slice all as I run my way between them, but this is not enough. So many hours had been wasted and we are not even close to the entrance. It will take forever to finally get at least hallway closer to the entrance. Damn it.
The lightning suddenly strikes again, but it hit. . . inside the watch tower.
"Yusuke. . ." I breathed out worriedly before continuing on slicing those little veggie heads with my ice sword. I need to get to my brother somehow. I need to get inside that tower fast, but without using too much water or energy?! How?
Think Miyuki, THINK!? USE YOUR FREAKING HEAD-! A small gasp escaped from my lips as I looked at those captivated humans.
My head. . . Why use that when you can use someone else's! Why didn't I think about that earlier? From the corner of my eye, I saw two of them jumping right at me, but I cut them into pieces with my double ice swords. Okay, here goes nothing.
I sprinted toward one of them and jumped up high enough to get on top of these brainless idiots' heads.
I didn't think, I just kept on running, my feet stepping on one head to another as I finally reached my destination, the window that Yusuke entered through. I hear the boys shouting my name but I ignored them and just kept on running. Hopefully, this adrenaline rush will be enough for me to get to my brother and get his ass out of trouble as usual. I made one of my kunai ice swords melt and crawl down to my feet, boosting me upward like a last time I had just jumped on a metal spring. I landed on the edge of the window frame made out of bricks but lost balance for a hot second there. Thankfully I regained it back, making the relief wash over me.
Down below the distance I can hear two voices crying out my name from the distance. I looked over my shoulder slightly to see the boys struggling their way through those veggie heads. I know they need some back up, but so does my brother who is with the enemy, suffering or doing who knows what. I rapidly shook my head and closed my eyes tight before jumping off of the window and run up the stairs.
'Hang in there Yu-yu. I am coming.' I don't know how long this fight is going to take, but hopefully, it will all end before it's too late.
Damn it with all this! And damn that stupid Suzaku and his copies. But it doesn't matter to me because I have one task to complete. . . protect the girls from this jerk head no matter what. I am not going to give up. . .
"Get down!" Suzaku ordered me at me before punching me in the head and sending me kissing the dusty floor again. "Is it possible you care that much for this girl?" I hear that bastard asks me this stupid question. "Well, then I'll just have to stay and watch her die."
"Yes! She's going to die! She's going to die!" Cried out that annoying talking chicken happily. I wish I have enough energy to make some good barbecue out of that thing I couldn't move my muscles. I was totally out of it all. My strength, my spirit energy. . . Crap, how am I gonna protect people now?
"Pick him up." I hear pretty boy instruct it to his clones. I feel my arms being held strongly while my upper body was hanging limply and I was on my knee. Damn it! I hear that bastard Suzaku's laughter but all I could think about is Keiko, Botan, Ruby, and the others. What should I do? What can I freaking do? "Can't you drop these human feelings Yusuke?" The jerk questioned half-heartedly. "I will make you a king of demons if you promise to eat Keiko's heart. And who knows, maybe you can be my best man at mine and Miyuki's wedding." Oh, how much I want to kick his ass for making these messed up offers to me.
I weakly lifted up my head but my undying hatred toward him never left me.
"Go. . . To hell!" I growled with a weak voice, cracking a little.
"I don't like that answer." That punk growled out. "What do you think my dear Suzakus?" The monster asked his stupid and cheap copies of himself. "Can we reform this boy's rebellious attitude?" I suddenly feel a hand grasping onto the back of my hair and yanked it up, forcing me to look at the screen and at that bastard. Within the next moment, ZAP! The electricity began to flow through my entire body. It was burning. . . anguishing. . . A pain that is beyond indescribable. . . Damn you Suzaku! "We'll give you just enough, so you won't pass out, floating in a constant state of pain." I hear Suzaku explain like it would make things better for me when it's not. I couldn't do much but scream in pain as my eyes would constantly go to the screen. "Then you can watch every last minute of Keiko's life, and look Yusuke, it's getting really exciting. The final scene I believe, can't you hear the music swelling?" I ignored the stupid prick's words as my full attention was on the mute screen where Botan, Ruby and Keiko was but also with someone who I don't recognize.
"Keiko! Ruby! Botan!" I managed to scream out of desperation and worry. I can't die like this, I need to do something, but what?! Then suddenly the channel on the screen changes to Miyuki who was running up the long stairs. Wait?! Where are the others. Isn't she supposed to be with them?! This is not good at all.
"Oh?" I hear Suzaku ask in wonder and curiosity. "Looks like mine. . ." He trailed off as he turned to the copies of himself. "Or should I say our bride to be, wants to join in, to our movie night. Why don't you go and pick her up?" He asked one out of his eight clones who obeyed and walked out of the room.
"I TOLD YOU ALREADY YOU PERVERT PRICK! LEAVE MY SISTER OUT OF THIS!" I shouted at him enraged, but all he did was laugh and mock me more like I just told him a joke. Then another wave of shock that makes me scream in pain and agony.
No, not Miyuki too.
My sore feet carrying me over up to the next room where I will probably find them. I hope I will have enough water for water bending.
Once I reached the top of the stairs and the open door I was in a huge hall, similar to the Ice King's room. Pillars that held up the ceiling but with big windows, on the other end there was the next staircase.
'Okay, almost there, Yusuke.' I began to sprint again, but after like five steps forward, I froze on my tracks when I felt my left shoulder again, burning up a little. It made me pause and look at it in question, examining it as my mind is trying to figure out what's going on. But then came my gut feeling while that Spiritual awareness of mine detected something. . . or rather someone. . . Immediately I got into my stance. Someone is there, and he is very powerful. I hear that person laugh in delight as he stepped out of the shadows to reveal himself to me, wearing a strange hairstyle and a cocky smirk on his face. I didn't let my guard down for sure.
"My-my, you look even more beautiful up this close and in person." Commented the stranger who is probably the Saint Beasts' leader. . . I glare at him hard as my grasp on my ice sword got tighter.
But wait. . . if he is here. . . then where is my brother. . . ?
"Who the hell are you and what did you do to my brother?!" I demanded with a calm yet deadly tone, earning an amused smile and chuckle from the stranger. Does he seriously find this funny? Damn with these monsters.
"Oh, where all my matters." The stranger said politely before clearing his throat. "The name is Suzaku. The leader of the Saint Beasts. Well, for the correction I am his clone, but I am just as strong as the real deal who is having a really good time with your brother." I growl escaped through my throat. By just looking at his face he already pisses me off. "But don't be afraid my beloved Miyuki, he won't suffer much longer. " He 'reassured' me as he began to walk a step forward, but I didn't budge.
"Do not call me 'your beloved'." I snarled at his face with a low and dark tone. "And last time I checked, I didn't even say yes to your proposal, nor give you permission to even have my heart in the first place."
The demon Suzaku smirks in satisfaction as his eyes scanned me up and down. What a shameless pervert, that's for sure.
"Caught a feisty one I see." He commented. "I love that in a woman."
"You won't love it later on, once I kick your butt!" I scoffed at him as I brought my other hand to my weapon's hilt.
"So, you want to play rough, huh?" The jerk one asked curiously, in a teasing tone, making my glare hardens as I bared my teeth. "Now-now, let's not be too critical here dear." My stomach got tied up in a tight knot and I swear if I don't shut this demon up, I might just end up barfing all over the place.
I scoffed at that. "Well, sorry if my brutal honesty inconvenienced your huge ego. Besides, I wanted to give a nasty look to you, but you beat me to it because you already got one." I see his confident and smug expression turn to a sour and angry frown. Looks like I hit the nerve again, meaning I am in huge trouble now, but there is no turning back now. I need to suck it up and fight. Again.
I just hope the others have much better luck than I am.
