This one been done before? No? Didn't think so. Anyway, I'm honestly not
gonna continue this, so if anyone wants to pick it, feel free . . .
Actually, I'm *hoping* somebody'll pick it up, if it's simply because it's a
shame to see a good idea go to waste.

"There we go. The legendary Shrine of the Sword.
Strange, though. Nobody here . . ."

"Is this the one, though? We've been searching for like
ten years now."

"Shaddup. I say this is the one, and you know better than
to question what I say, dumbass."

***

Two men. Two different views on the topic of justice and
truth. Two goals. One final battle to determine the future
that will come to pass.

***

"But . . . But you said the same thing last time 'round."

"That was last time. This time I've got leads."

"Didn't you have leads last time as well?"

***

Only one can survive.

***

"You. Shut your trap. We're gonna be going in. I want all
of you idiots to be careful. There might be traps or
somethin.'"

"Yessir."

"Wait."

"What now, boss?"

"I got a whiff of somethin' nasty. There's some
low-S-level bastard in there."

***

Right?

***

"Er, the sword, boss?"

"Couldn't be. The sword's a tool, like a magnifyin' lens,
ya know? It magnifies the power you already got.
There's somebody in there."

***

But what if . . . What if, in those final hours, something
happened? What if both of them died?

***

"We're goin' in. Stay on your toes, those of ya who have
toes."

"Aye, boss."

***

Then, friends, *then* you've got yourself something
there.

***

"Er, boss?"

"Yeah?"

***

It's the year 1993 . . .

***

"No traps. No S-level."

"No S-level? Where's the sword?"

***

And life is good for Urameshi Yuusuke . . .

***

"Right here, boss."

"Hand it over."

"Sure thing, boss."

***

. . . except for the fact that trouble's stirrin' . . .

***

The figure unwraps the sword slowly, then freezes. He
throws the sword to the center of the room.

"Get back, guys. We've got an A-level here. It's the
sword."

"Told ya, boss."

"Shaddup!"

A mist rises around the sword, and slowly takes form . . .

"Oro?"
