Episode 8
' HIM'
Yusuke landed in Keiko's yard and Keiko ran out. " You're late!" Said Keiko. " Sorry Keiko. I forgot when you said to come over." " Oh. ok, but your friend is here." " Who!" Asked Yusuke. " Shishi Wakamaru, the guy from that team you fought in the Dark Tournament." Answered Keiko. " Shishi!" Yelled Yusuke running inside. " Why hello Yusuke." Said Shishi. " How are you?" " I'm fine, but, I need your help. I need a partner to help me fight a guy named 'HIM'. You know Jin the Wind Master?" " Yeah!" " Well, he almost got to tell me his name but then he died." " Oh." " The only thing I don't know besides his name, is where he is." " Oh! Well, then we're screwed!" " No not really. The enemy always seems to find me." " Good." " Wait with Hiei and Kurama in the forest. Keep your ears alert. If I call come with them. We need as much man power as possible." " Alright I will." " GREAT!"

Yusuke woke up to the annoying sound of his alarm clock. BEEP! RING RING! BEEP! RING RING! WHAM! Yusuke smashed his brand new alarm clock into about a million pieces. " I don't want to get up!" Yawned Yusuke. He stood up and got dressed. Once again he ate a bowl of Corn Flakes. When he was done he walked out the door.
" Do you feel that?" Asked Shishi appearing next to Yusuke. " AHH! Don't sneak up on me like that!" Yelled Yusuke. " But any way, yeah I do. I think it's ' HIM'." " Me too." Answered Shishi. " Shishi let's take a short cut through the forest." Said Yusuke. " Go get Hiei and Kurama." " Ok." Shishi disappeared. Yusuke continued to walk through the forest. He was half way through when he stopped. " Shishi, Hiei, Kurama do you feel that? The Evil Energy got bigger." Said Yusuke as the three boys appeared. " Yeah! We feel it." Said Shishi speaking for the group. Shishi turned and looked to his left. " THERE!" said Shishi pointing straight in front of him. He walked towards where he pointed. He then stopped and knocked on the air. BANG! BANG! BANG! " See metal." Said Shishi. " Use your Spirit Gun." Yusuke pointed his index finger and raised his thumb so his hand was like a gun. " SPIRIT GUN!" Yelled Yusuke. He shot a huge blue bullet at the place Shishi pointed out. Shishi jumped into a tree and the spot exploded. When the smoke cleared, Yusuke saw through the hole, a huge room. At the end was a short cloaked figure. " Why hello Yusuke. I see you've brought some friends." Said the figure. The boys stepped through the hole. The cloaked figure turned and looked at Yusuke. His eyes glowed red under his cloak. Yusuke lunged at the figure and landed a punch straight in its face. Then he raised his leg and kicked him in the stomach. The figure went flying into the wall. Rubble fell on top of it. Suddenly, the rubble rose into the air. " Ha, Ha, Ha!" Said a strange voice. The rubble slammed into the wall across from the figure. The figure's cloak had been ripped off revealing his face. " Why do you look so shocked?" asked the boy. " I thought Randou killed you." Said Yusuke. " NO ONE KILLS THE GREAT SHOURIN!" Yelled Shourin powering up so much his cloak flew off. " Why are you wearing those clothes!" Asked Yusuke. Shourin was wearing a huge black robe beneath his black cloak. Shourin yelled out a strange word. The wall began to shake. The wall across from Shourin started to crumble. A coffin flew out of the wall and landed in front of Shourin. He started saying things in an ancient language. "???????????????????????-+??????????????????- ?????????????????????????????????????????-????????????-?+" (Arise now my Lord Randou! Feast on these human's bones. Instead of one sacrifice you will get four!) A hand shot out of the coffin and grabbed Shourin. " AHH!" Screamed Shourin as he was lowered towards the coffin. SLASH! Shishi slashed Shourin free. " RAAAH!" Screamed the creature inside the coffin. The top of the coffin shot off and Randou appeared. His right arm was shorter where Shishi had cut it, only there was no blood. " HA!" Yelled Randou. His Spirit Energy gathered on his right arm. Another arm shot out. His arms were now even. " Ha, Ha, Ha!" Laughed Randou. " All I need now is a sacrifice!" Randou shot his arm at Yusuke. It grabbed Yusuke around the neck and pulled him towards him. Suddenly, Randou started to twist and turn as he flew through air. Above him circled Jin. " 'Ello Urameshi!" Said Jin. " JIN! I thought you were dead!" Yelled Yusuke. " I was but, just you, I wasn't expected to die. So King Yama granted me another life and gave me all of my energy back, including my Wind Powers." " Awesome! I'll be right up." Shourin sat up and looked up at Jin. " You little traitor. I thought I could trust the Legendary Wind Master." Mumbled Shourin. " Tee hee hee!" Yusuke jumped up into the air. " CIRCLES OF INFERNO!" Yelled Shourin. He threw flaming balls at Jin. " LOOK OUT JIN!" Yelled Shishi as he jumped in front of the fireballs. They hit him in the stomach. " AHH!" Yelled Shishi as the fireballs flew through him. He fell to the ground. " Shishi!" Yelled Hiei lunging at Shourin. He drew his sword and it burned with a black flame. " SWORD OF THE DARKNESS FLAME!" Yelled Hiei. SLASH! He slashed at Shourin but missed. Shourin's hand was on Hiei's face. " ??!" Yelled Shourin in the weird language again. Hiei flew into the wall across from Shourin. " HA, HA, HA! I CANNOT BE BEATEN!" Yelled Shourin as his eyes started to glow. He grew fangs and his hair grew longer. It turned silver and his eyes turned red. He grew huge golden wings sprouted out of his back. " THIS IS MY DEMON FORM!" Yelled Shourin. " And this is mine." Said Kurama going to his Youko form. He drew his Supreme Rose Whip and Shourin ignited his fireballs. " CIRCLES OF INFERNO!" " SUPREME ROSE WHIP LASH!" Shourin threw his fireballs and Youko Kurama slashed his whip. BOOM! Smoke covered the whole room. When it cleared Youko Kurama's Rose Whip was stained with blood. Shourin's expression was of total shock. " You. you. got me!" " As did you." Said Youko Kurama as blood trickled down his left arm. He raised his right arm and in it he held a seed. " DEATH TREE!" Yelled Youko Kurama. The seed cracked open and huge red branches came out. " BEHOLD THE MIGHTY DEATH TREE!" " Ahh!" Screamed Shourin. Acid dripped from some part of the tree. On each branch was a small fanged mouth. Acid dripped from each mouth leaving holes in the ground. The mouths opened and moved towards Shourin. " AHH!" CHOMP! Shourin's legs were dangling from one of the mouths. The plant sucked up Shourin's legs and returned to the seed. Youko Kurama turned back into Kurama and stumbled over. Thought Kurama. Kurama fell to the ground unconscious.
