-------Chapter 9: The Spider's Web-------
Yusuke was still locked up in his room, waiting for his ancestor to come out and face him. Across the hall, Kurama and Shiziru were in the nearby training room, practicing their skills. Kurama had discovered Shiziru to be quite the fighter, and he was encouraging her to work hard in order to truly be able to keep Yusuke and friends on the line.
"You never know when they'll get out of line, Shiziru. It'll be good for you to train your fighting abilities to their max... that way, they can never give you any trouble again."
Determined by Kurama's word, Shiziru began daily training periods with Kurama. The effort was well worth what she was learning, but Yusuke didn't care. All he wanted was to fight Saomi for what he did, and that was worth 12 months of training any day.
The main action was going on downtown, though. Hiei and Genkai were successful in fending off the demons, but it was getting a bit tiring. Still, there were times when no demons attacked, and those little rests in time allowed the pair to heal any major wounds. It was during one of these rare times that Hiei sensed something odd.
"Genkai, do you feel that?"
Genkai nodded.
"I've felt it for quite some time now. The Saint Beasts Byakko and Suzaku have risen from the dead to haunt us once again. Be on your guard at all times, Hiei. You never know what may happen."
Hiei nodded and continued to nurture his wounds. Genkai looked out across the town, thinking to herself.
::It's been over a week and there's still no sign of that nitwit Satan. Is he really so scared to use his power on Earth? The twit. He has no idea...::
---Spirit World---
Panting for air, Kazuma Kuwabara stops to take a rest. The palace he was searching contained several floors of immense power.
::Dammit! Where the hell is that tapestry? I've been searching for over a week, and I still don't know where it is!!::
Suddenly, a mysterious light shone from one of the nearby walls. Intrigued, Kazuma moved closer and closer, until he realized it was coming from a tapestry.
"I found it! I found it! Yeah!!"
Excited, Kazuma pulled the tapestry hard. Out fell a piece of paper, which Kazuma unrolled like a child unwrapping a Christmas present. Finally, the paper was unrolled. One quick read-through told Kazuma that he had found what he was looking for. All he had to do now was find Koenma's dead body and recite the poem to him.
"Yes! This is so awesome!"
Kazuma ran outside and traveled down the riverbanks of the River Styx until he found where Kurama had laid Koenma's body. Kazuma unfolded the paper from his pocket and read aloud.
"Destroy, and you will be reborn.
Die, and you will live.
In all holy light,
Come back to us now!"
Instantly, white-flashing lights surrounded Koenma's body. Then, several bodies of light formed and began slowly inching their way into Koenma. When all the light had finally entered Koenma's body, Kazuma did a check on Koenma's pulse and heartbeat. Both were at regulation. Koenma had been reborn!
"Alright! Ten points for Kuwabara!"
---Earth---
Genkai and Hiei approached another town, where they had felt small forces of demons attacking. At the last second, however, Hiei pulled Genkai back.
"It's a trap! He's here!"
One second too late, Genkai took a step into the village and suddenly vanished from sight. There was no sign of her anywhere.
::Dammit! Satan got her!::
---Hell---
"Ah, my other human shield has arrived! Now, my beauties, let us move onward and destroy the Human race!!"
Rising from his throne, Saomi Urameshi put his cloak on his back and grabbed his two shields, Botan and Genkai. He was ready to make an appearance.
"You'll never get away with this, Satan."
Genkai spit hard in Satan's face. Enraged, Satan reached to kill her, but she retorted again.
"Killing me means you have one less shield to use in battle."
Furiously, Satan put his arm down and flew quietly to the portal between Hell and Earth.
"Dammit. You all have to piss me off today, don't you?!"
---Heaven---
"YUSUKE! YUSUKE, SATAN HAS APPEARED! GO, DAMMIT!"
Naosomi was scrambling through the hallway in search of Yusuke, but he was nowhere to be seen. Assuming he had already sensed Satan's appearance, Naosomi returned to his large screen to watch the fights.
::Now, the elegance of the spider is revealed!::
---Earth---
"Hey, Hiei. How's it going?"
Yusuke landed next to the injured Hiei, who was healing after a large and rather impeccable fight with Devilkin.
"He... got... Gen...ka..."
Struggling to get his words out, Hiei took one last gasp and fainted on the rock he was resting on. Yusuke only took a guess at what happened, and fired a Spirit Gun directly on the floor beneath him. Instantly, invisible wires on the ground burnt to a crisp, leaving no trace of the trap.
::So, he used spider web strands to set a trap for Genkai. Clever of him, but it doesn't work on me.::
In a flash, Yusuke was at the edge of the city, preparing for the battle. However, he noticed something rather odd about the townspeople.
"They look like they've seen ghosts."
Right then, a mysterious old man approached him.
"Excuse me, sir, but have you had monthly visits to the dentist?"
Yusuke shook his head. No, in fact, he hadn't seen a medical person since the Dark Tournament.
"Well, sir, that's very bad for you."
The old man pulled from his pocket a butcher knife and made a lunge for Yusuke. Completely unfazed, Yusuke merely slapped the old man and he fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Looks like the work of Makai insects. My old friend Suzaku is back, and it looks like he's been having some fun with his new flute."
Suddenly, out of the ground came a giant figure, a large shadow of ash and flame: Saomi Urameshi had come to Earth.
"Welcome, my dear descendant. I assume you already know what's been going on, so I'll just skip right to the part where you DIE!!"
Without talking any more, Satan lunged forward and began a flurry of punches and kicks against Yusuke. Of course, if they had been real, Yusuke would've looked worried.
"Are you finished playing around? I'm really looking to start a fight right now."
Genkai came around from behind Satan and screeched like a howler monkey at Yusuke.
"Oh, come on, Yusuke, use your head!!!!"
But Yusuke didn't listen. He had already begun attacking Satan with such massive fury, you may have mistaken him for a wild ape, or a boar. Satan picked up on Yusuke's patterns very quickly, however, and was able to easily dodge all of his attacks. When he saw the opening, he grabbed Yusuke's punching fist and nearly shoved it into his shoulder bone.
"BASTARD!!"
This time, Yusuke grabbed the hidden net from his belt and hid it in his fist as he attacked again. This time, he gave Satan the opening to grab his fist, but he made sure Satan grabbed the right fist, which was the one with the net in it. Smiling, Yusuke opened his palm.
"Say your PRAYERS!! SHOTGUN!!!!!"
(Spiritual Trap Net: A powerful Spirit Detective item that allows the user to teleport anything, Human or Demon, to a specific location. However, it must be used in combination with an attack.)
There was a brief moment with Satan trapped in the net, and then he was gone. Standing in his place was Botan and Genkai.
"Very impressive, Yusuke."
Genkai gave Yusuke a rare smile, and Botan ran over to him, crying her eyes out.
"I'm so glad you're ok, Yusuke. I'm so very glad..."
"So am I, Botan. So am I."
Yusuke and Botan embraced for what seemed like hours on end. Finally, Genkai decided to break up the couple and bring them back to earth.
"Need I remind you, Yusuke, that Satan is now trapped in our web. The only thing left to do is knowing how you want to suck his blood out."
Yusuke nodded and left Botan's embrace. He looked her deep in the eyes as he said his next words.
"I'll come back for you, I promise."
With a brief kiss, Yusuke and Genkai left for the location they had sent Satan to - a secluded area in Spirit World (not that it was already secluded, but you know).
---Spirit World---
Kazuma and Koenma (A/N: I hate typing those names together, they both start with the letter 'K'!), having already known about the location, had traveled to it and watched as Satan appeared in the middle of a large, electronic dome, filled with massive wires and electronic cables in the walls. Enraged, he began slamming on the walls, but each time, they electrocuted him. When he finally got the message, Satan sat down in the middle of the room cross-legged and waited.
"Man... that was intense. He's so burned out now."
Koenma nodded.
"Yes, but what are we going to do with him? Even if he's locked up here, he hasn't assumed the full Devil power yet. Besides, he can summon thousands of Devilkin to his side at will. I don't know what Yusuke or Genkai were thinking with this."
::Yeah... but still, Koenma... Yusuke's not as dumb as you think he is. He'll find a way to beat this guy, one way or another.::
-Satan's trapped in the spider's web, but is he really as trapped as the others think he is? And what do Yusuke and Genkai plan to do with him, anyway? The biggest surprise of the arch is approaching!-
