Chapter 6 - Spirit Games
"Alright. The Youkai Kurama is charged with one count of attempted possession of an
unborn ningen vessel, a misdemeanor. The ningen Shuuichi Minamino is charged with
seventeen counts of forced domination of an independent youkai soul one count per year of
enslavement, one count evading arrest, and fifteen counts of assault and battery against those
employed within the Rei-kai Daihatsu Kan. To stand trial they will both be separated from the
body."
"You hear that, you're more troublesome than I.." The fox smugly relayed to his warden
who's essence surrounded his nearly smothering him completely. Kurama had pulled himself
into a defensive ball allowing Shuuichi to completely surround him as he had prior to the
Ankoku Bujutsukai. In this state he could no longer seize control of the ningen body. It disturbed
him a little, but the fact that Koenma had stated they were to be separated for the trials brought
him great relief. It would not be long before he fully recover his spirit power, a feat that would be
accelerated once he no longer had to expend energy to defend himself against the aggressive
soul.
"Hardly, I believe it is you that is the greater burden beast." Shuuichi arrogantly states as he
coils his essence around the defensive sphere created by the youkai soul. He would make that
youkai submit, or he would destroy him while he still could. Submission suited him better, as he
would loose a great deal of power without the youkai's presence not that he hasn't already, but
he would loose his source. He simply could not allow that.
"Who is the greater beast, the youkai or the ningen enslaving the youkai siphoning energy
never intended for a weak-minded race? You are no better than Toguro." He pushes back with
his essence harshly to make it clear he would not submit anytime soon. It was clear he had been
pushed around long enough.
This greatly angered Shuuichi as he pushes his essence as Kurama defends his self using a
great deal of his energy in the exploit. The physical effects were obvious as the vessel, the body
of Shuuichi Minamino, begins to convulse as both vivid blue Rei-ki begins swirling about the form
being immediately cut of by weak jet black youki. It is obvious that the dark energy has no hope
of overpowering the native Rei-ki, it seemed like a last ditch effort at survival as the energy is easily
enveloped by the blue Rei-ki.
"KOENMA! Separate them now hurry!" The shocked, and desperate voice of Yusuke shouts
over to the teenage Koenma who is currently standing there fumbling with the Gaki dama in a
desperate haste He had not planned on separating them so soon, but it seemed if he did not he
would only have one defendant. He could not allow that to occur in his office.
"I'm working on it Yusuke." Koenma managed to state in a calm tone as he aims the Gaki Dama
at its target. He sends a small potion of his own regal Rei-ki into the ball causing it to glow more
vividly that it had prior. It was clear that one of the souls would be leaving the body. The question
being, which did it ensnare. They both observed the body as both the blue Rei-ki, and the black
Youki had vanished and the body once more went limp.
"Damn, I can't hold him off any longer...."
"I have you now, fox......"
"I have to survive. I can't lose when I am so close to being free.."
"You will never be free...."
"I... What? What's that?"
"Do not think I will fall for something so..."
A funnel of deep emerald hued energy swirls around the small defensive sphere that held the
silver fox. It shielded him from the onslaught that the ningen was unleashing upon him. He took
what equivocated a deep breath. This was obviously the work of the Gaki Dama though he
lamented in the fact that it was he who was removed still there was nothing he could do about
it at this point. He relaxed his energy enough for the emerald energy to ensnare his essence
drawing him from the body in a small ethereal form no more in size than one of the various
pieces of paper that littered the desk of Koenma.
He looks around in this form, it was the body of Shuuichi Minamino, and how he wanted
to shred it into ribbons at this particular moment especially given its current resident. He was
not in any form to do so. He saw himself approaching the Gaki Dama, his new prison he
surmised. It turned out that it would not be as such as the Teenage Koenma cuts off his energy
flow to the sphere leaving the disembodied Kurama to float in the middle of the room. Kurama
was surprised, could they tell who was where, or where they merely that trusting. Either way he
didn't care, he just floated there in that ethereal form gathering his energy once more; that last
battle had left him rather drained.
"So Koenma, which one is it?" Yusuke points at the floating soul, not able to discern its energy.
It felt weak though gaining in energy. He was genuinely curious as to which it was.
"To be honest? I don't know." This brought a rather large anime Sweat drop to the left side of
Yusuke's head and a look of sheer shock. Before Yusuke could say a single word, Koenma continued.
"It most likely is Kurama's soul. It has made no effort to flee, and the body has not transfigured
into Youko Kurama's image. I am certain had Youko Kurama had remained in the body, the opposite
would be true. The soul would have booked it and the body would have changed." Yusuke scratched
the back of his head accepting the Demi-god's explanation for now. Despite his years in service to
Koenma, he has learned surprisingly little.
"Ok, um Hi Kurama?" Yusuke nonchalantly waves at the floating essence. Kurama wishes he
had shoulders to shrug at this moment but does not. He merely forces the movement of his energy
to lower and raise himself to acknowledge the fact that Yusuke spoke to him. It made the Tantei
smirk causing the ambiguous pile of disembodied youkai energy to psuedo smirk at least wish he
could. He was under his own control; it felt great even though he was not complete, physically.
Something, or someone stirred in the chair next to Yusuke. The groan was low, who ever was
within the body seemed completely disoriented. The red haired boy seemed paler than usual. What
grabbed Yusuke's attention was the image that reflected in his eyes. The eyes were not sweet, or
kind. They weren't even stern. The merely focused themselves upon the floating energy in the middle
of the room with a certain disgust held within them.
"You think you have won do you not? Do you think a thief as yourself will walk away from this
place with a mere slap on the wrist?" Shuuichi smirked disarmingly at the floating energy speaking
out load despite the other two occupants of the room listening to those callous words were seemingly
uncharacteristic of the red haired boy. It did make Kurama think for a moment, but he eventually
brushed it off. Makai law was separate from Rei-kai law in that The Makai dealt with its own crimes
in their own manner. Even so, it was more to his advantage to stay as apposed to flee, as he truly
was the innocent party in this and he had a small spark of faith in the toddler paper pusher, though
his mind still contained doubt as to whether or not he would have another flesh and blood form. Only
time would tell.

~Work work work, As much as I'd like to get these chapters out faster than what I have, I need to find some time to sleep. As I am writing this author's note, my consiousness is slipping away. So this went up as is. I did read over it, but my proofreading skills are near extinction in this state. Well send a review and let me know how well you like, or hate, or are apathetic towards my work. As this was being put up there have been ninteen Reviews from my readers, and I have found I have three dedicated readers. My thanks to Fey Wind, HieitheSwordsman, and Vulpine-chan (Vulpine Beauty) for putting up with this insomniac Author, and I promises to update as often as I can. I still have been pushing out a couple a week, not to bad given my work schedual.
