Chapter Two is finally up! Thank you guys (Master Genkai, BC, and Jensei no
Megami!! Love you guys, send me an e-mail and we can chat about what
Kanshisha might do to kick Yuske's ass even more. ^,^) who have been
bugging me for the past few weeks to write this next chapter. I've been a
lazy bum, but here it is!
Also, please feel free to e-mail me at crazy_black_belt@hotmail.com w/ suggestions and/or comments. I LOVE getting e-mail from peeps! And I will listen to suggestions, because I do get writer's block.
I have a question (glares at stupid dub). Is Keiko's name spelt 'Kayko" or 'Keiko'? I use the latter, so please let me know which is correct!
HUGE IMPORTANT NOTICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!: I do not own Yu Yu Hakushou.
"Yuske? Are you awake?"
Yuske groaned and flopped over in his bed to find himself face to face with Keiko and Botan, both of who were staring anxiously into his face.
He yelped and threw himself away from them, panting heavily. "Don't do that to me, you guys! Geez, the last thing I need is a heart attack!"
"Well don't blame me, you're the one who decided to go off and attack that poor girl for no reason!" they both shouted, glaring at him with almost identical stares.
"She most certainly wasn't 'helpless', and she definitely isn't a girl!" he shouted right back, getting ticked off as he remembered the fight. "No girl fights like that, not even if they could possibly use an A-Bomb!"
"Yuske, we had gym the day before you saw her. She changed along with the rest of the girls, and I can most certainly assure you that she is a girl, not some messed up guy!" Keiko was getting rather fired up. //Why are men such morons? Girls can be tough like guys if they want to!//
"What are you guys all yelling about in here?" Yuske's mom walked into his room, scratching her head. "Shouldn't you two be in school?" she asked Botan and Keiko. "It's past nine o'clock."
With startled, 'Oh's' 'Um's', both Botan and Keiko scrambled out of the room. Yuske's mom yawned sleepily and said from behind her hand, "Yuske, all I'm asking is that you try not to pick on girls. I'm not going to chew you out, because you need sleep." With that, she walked out of his room, shutting his door behind her.
Yuske stared blankly at the door, not having absorbed what his mother had just said. //Leave a girl alone?! Heck, that'd usually be no problem, but with a girl like that Kanisha, or whatever her name was, you gotta stay one step ahead of them!// He grinned, and slicked back his hair quickly as he began to get dressed. Puu was passed out in his sock drawer, so he decided to leave the Spirit Beast there. //Guess I'd better catch her after school again, and try to get something out of her.//
Kanshisha finished packing her briefcase, feeling rather pleased with herself. Yesterday she had managed to totally wipe the ground with Yuske Urameshi, and today she had managed to get an A+ on a report she had had to do for English. //Not like I really worked on it though, right Honored Spirit?// she thought, grinning evilly at the old lady mentally.
//You do know that you only managed to cop an A+ because I helped you with it, so don't even think about getting cocky.// She shook her head, sighing. //You're as bad as the punk I allowed you to beat up yesterday.//
//Don't even start the guilt trip on me, Honor-//
"Kani-san, are you ready?" Kanshisha looked up to meet Keiko's eyes, managing a weak grin as she did so.
"Yeah, just give me a few seconds, I have to talk to. Never mind, let's go." Furious, she yelled at the old lady, //Honored Spirit, you did that on purpose! You deliberately distracted me from-//
//Best get moving, child. Your friend wont wait for long.// Kanshisha ground her teeth as the hag cackled. She stood up and grabbed her bag, saying, "Let's go, Keiko."
Yuske swore as he saw both Keiko and the girl walking down the street together. //Oh man, now how am I supposed to get to her without Keiko chewing my head off?// But the sound of Kanshisha saying something to Keiko made him stop fuming and listen closely from his hiding place (a rather dirty alleyway).
"Keiko, I have to go take care of something. I'll see you tomorrow, okay?" She was grinning at her friend, as if they shared some big joke.
"No problem. Just do what I suggested and you'll do great!" Keiko seemed to be trying not to burst out laughing. //Damnnit, she better not be laughing about how that Kanshisha girl beat me up!//
Kanshisha turned a corner, and disappeared from sight. Keiko continued walking, going straight past Yuske's hiding place without even seeming to notice him. He noted at random as he waited to be absolutely sure that she was gone and he could follow Kanshisha that she was heading towards the river. After a good fifteen seconds had passed, he snuck out and followed her, making sure that there was always some good cover nearby in case she turned around.
But she never did. She just continued walking serenely towards the river, pausing at times to look at things like fantasy books, or at little kids playing. When she reached the bridge, Yuske felt a sinking feeling enter his stomach. There weren't any other places to hide if she crossed all the way. In fact, this street was completely deserted.
She continued walking until she got a little past halfway. Then she turned around, and pointed her finger straight at the abandoned warehouse where he was hiding. She called out triumphantly, "Yuske, you'd better come out before I decide to toast your pathetic juvenile behind for the fun of it."
He instinctively cringed; almost expecting to be cracked over the head like Genkai would whenever she lost her temper with him. He mentally smacked himself as he thought, //She's dead, you moron! Get. Over. It! She's not coming back, and she never will!// He took a deep, steadying breath, and walked out towards her.
She looked ordinary enough, but that had fooled him easily enough the last time. He knew that he couldn't beat her unless she told him what her power was like most morons did when he fought them, so he decided to try Botan's original idea. "So, I was just wondering," he said, managing to keep a fake grin plastered onto his face, "Just how did you manage to beat me last time?"
"It wasn't that hard, punk. You left yourself open too much." Yuske stopped dead in shock. Instead of the light, willowy voice he knew was supposed to come out of Kanshisha's mouth; he heard a gravelly, scratchy one, like the owner hadn't used it in a while. //But.// he thought, stunned. //But she's dead! I saw Togoro kill her with my own eyes!//
"You fool, haven't you figured it out by now?" The girl stalked towards him, her arms clasped behind her back. Her eyes seemed to be wearier now, not the lively brown they had been. And he could have sworn that the girl's uniform kept on switching between a blue suit and a red dress thing, with a green fringe. "You aren't as much of a dimwit as you used to be, but I can see you haven't improved much either."
"Gen. Genkai?!" he panted out, feeling as though his heart was going ninety miles an hour. //She's. BACK?!//
"Actually, Genkai's reincarnation." Kanshisha grinned up at him, obviously enjoying the discomfort she was causing him.
"Her. what?!"
//Reincarnation, moron. Like you, but since mine was an accident, I don't come back totally as myself.// Suddenly, he saw what seemed to be a ghostly version of Genkai pull a few feet away from Kanshisha, in almost the exact same stance.
"I was just walking along, minding my own business a few days ago when I started to get really cold," Kani explained. "Then I started hearing the Honored Spirit's voice asking me questions. Naturally, I started to freak. I ended up falling off a bridge, this very same one in fact."
Genkai took over then. //She would have drowned if I hadn't possessed her that moment. At least she wasn't without Spirit Energy, as you saw yesterday.//
Yuske finally managed to get his mouth to work. "But Botan said that she led you to the Spirit World personally! There's no way you could have gotten out of there, not without Koenma knowing and dragging you back or letting me know or something!"
//But he didn't know, Yuske.// Genkai's voice took on the quality it did when she was getting exasperated with him. //He was too busy getting spanked by his father for unknown reasons. Now then,// she finished, looking sternly at the two people in front of her, //I would highly appreciate it if you, Yuske, didn't tell the whole world about it, and if you, Kanshisha, tried to be a little bit nicer. It isn't pleasant to know that my two best students are quibbling like children. If you'll excuse me, I think I need a little nap.// She walked back over to Kanshisha, and disappeared inside of her body.
Yuske stood there, dumbfounded. Not only was Genkai back, but he had to deal with her reincarnation! He suddenly felt himself wishing that he was being beaten up by Togoro, or maybe even back in Genkai's stupid training thing. Either one would have ben preferable to what he was going to have to do now.
Kanshisha didn't look altogether that pleased about it either. However, she put a cheery grin on and said, "Well, I guess now you can call me Kani- san."
"Kani-san?! I can call you 'crab'?" He started laughing as he walked off the bridge, trying to keep his mixed up feelings in a ball for now. He didn't really know what to do besides that.
"You can't call me crab, dimwit!" They were illuminated by the setting sun as Yuske headed down the street, tiny Kanshisha jumping like a grasshopper beside him, trying to beat him up.
