Power Shift

            "Koenma, sir!  He's here! Everyone in the first three levels are dead! We've had to shut down every door, but he's bursting through each one!  You should get out of here, sir, really!"

 "Ogre," Koenma replied, "I'm not leaving this room!  Get a barrier up and get Yusuke on this right…" Koenma didn't finish his sentence.  The ogre wouldn't hear him anyway.

Yusuke was supposed to be with the principal, Mr. Takanaka, but as usual, he was on the roof, lounging.  "I wonder where Botan is.  I haven't had a case in a month!" thought Yusuke.  Then he heard something, "YUSUKE!" it was Keiko. "Yusuke you're supposed to be with Takanaka-san's office!"

"I know." Replied Yusuke. Then he heard someone else yelling at him. "YUSUKE!" This time it was Botan. "Get Kuwahara, we need to go, NOW!' Yusuke was in a huge shock.  Botan was bruised and cut all over, and her oar was broken.

 "But Botan…" was Yusuke's well thought out reply, when he was cut off.

 "NOW!"

"Haha.  Koenma.  How delightful.  Is your father, king Enma at home?"  Spoke a figure of a man.  He had long, blue robes on.  Hs hair was extraordinarily long, and jet black, except for two long strands of bangs, longer than any other part of his hair, and on each side, which were white.  He had a tattoo running up his arm, of a dragon.

  "Who are you?"  Koenma yelled at the figure, but then the man hurled an energy ball at Koenma, and suddenly, he was being covered in a dark glow, and then it covered his whole body.  "Congratulations Koenma, you've just been frozen in time."

"Kuwahara, come on, now! We need to go!" was Yusuke's speech when he burst into Kuwahara's classroom.

"Urameshi! What the heck are you doing here!" was Kuwahara's response. 

"Come on!"

 Kuwahara followed Yusuke to the roof.  "Urameshi, tell me what this is about!" Kuwahara yelled in between steps. 

"I'll tell you when I know!  All I know is Botan looks horrible, and she better have a good explanation for it!"  when they got to the roof, they found Botan sitting down. 

"Botan, what's happened?" said Kuwahara. 

She replied, "I was attacked, by demons.  They have attacked the whole spirit world.  We need you and Kuwahara to…" she was interrupted.

  "Don't forget us.  We probably know more about this than you." Said an exhausted Hiei, with Kurama, equally tired, by his side.  "What has happened to you two? Were you also attacked by demons?" asked Botan. 

"In a sense." Answered Kurama, "the one who is attacking the spirit world, the army's leader, is actually human.  But unlike Yusuke or Kuwahara, he runs of demon energy.  His attacks are demon based.  But normal humans don't have demonic energy, just like this one.  He is taking Energy from the demon world and the demons themselves!"

Koenma awoke to find himself in a huge amount of pain.  He was in the middle of the ruins of his tower, surrounded by demons.

  "Koenma, so good of you to join us.  I've freed you from your time seal to talk to your father.  Tell him I have you as a hostage, and if he doesn't surrender the spirit world to me, I will not only take it by force, but I will exterminate his son as well.  Now TALK!" 

"Father…? Can you hear me? Good.  I have been kidnapped.  Father, send help!  My Tower was destroyed and I need you to come to it and save…" Koenma was cut off, sealed again by the evil wizard.

 " Damn him! Now we need to move!  Demon, go tell the ranks to prepare to go.

"Ah!" Kurama said as he fell to the ground.

 "Oh no!  Kurama!" yelled a shocked Botan.  "Quick! Lets get him to Genkai's place.  She'll know what to do!  Hiei, I'm guessing you're next.  We better hope Genkai can help us.  We can't afford not to have you." Said Yusuke as he and Kuwahara picked up Kurama.

At Genkai's, they got Kurama into a bed for some treatment.  "Hiei!  Come here.  I have something for you.  This will give you some Spiritual energy for the time being.  You'd better use it wisely though, or you will faint here like Kurama, and considering that you might be going into a heated battle, you'll need it." Said Genkai as she put some bandages onto Botan's head.  "Yusuke!  Come with me. It's about time you learned to use your spiritual energy as not just an offense."

            Yusuke, confused at this point, decided that if his master was going to help, he'd go for it.  "Follow me, Yusuke, we're going into the forest."

            "Genkai… I thought that you taught me everything I need to know… why am I doing this?"  As Yusuke finished his sentence, Genkai stopped and threw a large log at him, and before Yusuke could think about reacting, his arm threw itself in between him and the log, and he caught it.

            "What was that?!?  Genkai, is this some sort of training for my reflexes, because if it is, believe me, I don't need it."

            "This isn't for that, stupid!  This is training for the mind and you.  You need to learn to use your spiritual energy to block instead of keep attacking.  This technique is called The 'Spiritual shield' and you need to learn to use it as an impulse instead of your body.  What if somebody was to do this instead?"  Then Genkai shot a spirit shotgun strait at Yusuke.  His impulse was to block with his hands, but because of Genkai's little speech, he thought better of it, and then jumped out of the way.

            "What is it, try to kill Yusuke day?"

            The demons were preparing to move the ranks.  If you were to fly over, you would see that the army covered many fields.  "MARCH PEOPLE!  I don't need slackers in my army! Lets go, that toddler let our location out, and if we don't move soon, his father will send another army to fight us.  LET'S GO!"

"You need to keep at it!  Keep trying!" Genkai screamed at Yusuke.  By this time she had already thrown five rocks, seven logs, and shot of her shotgun twice, but Yusuke's impulses kept on prevailing.  He had dodged every thing, but hadn't unleashed a single trace of Spiritual energy. 

"What is this about? Some spiritual shield really isn't going to do much."

"If you think that way, then see if you can dodge this."  Genkai then unleashed the most awesome blast of energy from both of her hands.  The energy was racing at Yusuke, and there was no dodging that.  If he blocked with his arms, he would loose the front of his body.  There was no option but to try the shield.  He put up his arms, and screamed and unleashed a huge amount of energy.  All he could think about was blocking that blast.  Then a blue aura surrounded him.  It formed a solid barrier around him, and as he saw the blast come towards him, It was reflected into oblivion.

"Your shield was good…" Said Genkai, "but next time, try not to use so much energy.
