I don't own anything anime. Anything that's not in Yu Yu Hakusho I own,
such as the plot, the ancient dwelling, the two ancient people, and the
ancient language (which took forever to make).

Chapter 8
The group stared at the passageway unbelievingly. Hiei was the first to recover, "Is this the clue you were looking for Koenma."
Koenma snapped out of his state of awe, "Huh? Oh yes, um maybe. We can't know for sure with out looking."
"Well then lets get going," Yusuke said as he walked to the passageway.
They all followed Yusuke's example but before Kurama went through he, with his demonic ability to control plants, covered the gaping hole in the ceiling so nothing could follow them. Jin then put out the torches with his wind abilities, for safety precautions, making it dark once again.
They walked down a staircase with only the firelight Hiei had put on the torches that lined the wall. The staircase was long and winding and seemed to take forever to reach the bottom. When they did they were once again put in a state of awe.
They had reached a tunnel, the simmering of thousands of stone like gems lighted it. This was the last piece of evidence that told them they were in a water demon home.
The force that could only belong to the great evil blew them out their awed state, forcefully. It was close by, to close the group to have liked.
"How could it have snuck up on us," Koenma whispered in horror, "With its huge power we should have sensed it long ago."
"Perhaps that shrine had some kind of barrier against it.... or perhaps the evil has gotten smarter," Touya stated.
"I don't care how it got this close, let's just get away from it," Yusuke declared.
They all silently agreed and ran down the winding tunnel. They soon were forced to stop because they ran into a fork in the road, so to speak. They evil's presence hadn't changed much it was still uncomfortably close.
"Dame. Which way now?" he asked half to himself and half to the others.
"Let's go left. If that evil thing comes down here it might think we went right because it always seems to be right," Kuwabara said.
"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard," Yusuke half yelled.
"I was only trying to help," Kuwabara said slightly offended. "Left it is then," Kurama said running down the left tunnel, not wanting to waste anymore time.
"Hay, wait up Kurama," Yusuke yelled after him.
They all ran down the tunnel, they had been running since the beginning of the tunnels and they were beginning to get tired. They finally reached another chamber where they promptly closed the thick door and sat down gasping for air.
Touya was the first to catch his breath, being that both him and Jin ran all over the place anyway, and looked at his surroundings.
"Guys look," was all he could say.
They all did and gasped, this place never stops giving its surprises and pleasures. They had just entered a chamber were a small waterfall ran into a small crystal blue lake. The walls glowed a soft blue, but they still lit the chamber as if it were out in broad daylight.
"This room is by far the coolest," Kuwabara said in awe.
"It's a chamber not a room dipstick," Yusuke said while getting up.
"And how do we know that?" Koenma asked curiously.
"I listen," was all Yusuke replied as he took his shoes off by putting his toes to heel. He then took off his socks and walked to the waters edge.
Jin went by him, floating, to about the middle of the small lake, "Woo wee, you don't see this clear of water normally here in the Makai. It's usually a whole lot darker." Even from where Yusuke stood he could see Jin's ears twitching in delight.
Yusuke started laughing, "Between your ears, personality and accent, you're one heck of a funny guy Jin."
"What's, oh so funny about my accent and me ears Urameshi?" Jin said slightly offended, "At least I don't make bombs go boom in your face." Jin was referring to the time in the Dark Tournament that Jin and Yusuke first met and fought each other. Yusuke, Kuwabara and Genki had been the only humans there, besides for a team that should not have been there anyway.
Yusuke had used his Spirit Gun, which was his way of releasing his spirit energy into a weapon, point blank into Jin's Tornado Fist. Jin sent of the blast upward by taking evasive actions with his Tornado Fist, saving both their lives.
The Spirit Gun was much like a normal gun in the sense that Yusuke made a gun out of his left hand, held it in place by his right hand holding at the wrist, and from him index finger came a shot of energy. All the time holding his arms as far away from his body as he can, used to its full potential it could kill, depending on the strength of the fighter.
Jin's Tornado Fists was an attack where a mini tornado formed on his arm, from the top of his clenched fist to about his elbow, and could either blow things away or on direct contact rip an enemy apart or send them flying as well. He could do this attack on both arms if he wished.
Yusuke fell over on his behind, laughing historically at his levitating friend. He finally managed to say, "You have an Irish accent and your ears twitch when your happy or excited, which is all the time. Plus you're so childish."
"Am not," Jin declared while crossing his arms and pouting, just like a child. This made Yusuke laugh harder.
"You just better stop while your ahead Jin," Touya said with a small, rather rare, smile. He stepped into the water and paused, it wasn't freezing cold but it wasn't disgustingly warm either, it was at a perfect temperature. In winter when it was cold the water would be warm compared to the chilling air, in summer it would be cooler than the hot air and in spring and fall when there would be days of temperatures that are just right, the water would still be quite pleasant. This was something you rarely found, no matter what world you were in.
Touya slowly walked farther into the small lake, he stopped when the water was just above his waist.
"What's up Touya?" Yusuke, who was still sitting on the ground, asked his blue haired friend. Touya didn't answer though because he had dove under the water already.
"It's not everyday an ice demon, like Touya, can return to the home of his ancestors Yusuke," Koenma pointed out, "This is a once in a life time experience and even that is rare, for these places are wanted for the gem stones you see in the walls."
Yusuke didn't respond, instead he picked himself up off the ground and walked into the water until it was half way up to his knees. He then sat down again, enjoying the feel of the water on his skin.
The other's, including Koenma, did the same thing, they took off their shoes and socks and sat in the water. They didn't care that when they got up their pants would be completely soaked. They all just wanted to savor the time they had here. The time they had to be in this soothing water that seemed to take away all their aches and pains.
Kuwabara looked down at his hand, which used to have a cut on it "Huh? Woe, that's weird." Everyone looked at him, "I used to have a cut on my hand, now it's completely gone," he explained.
"This is undoubtedly a healing spring, or rather a healing lake, of some sort," Kurama stated.
"Well of course it is" Touya said as he came and stood a few feet from his resting comrades, Jin right behind him, still levitating. Touya continued, "Water demons are well known for their superb defensive and healing abilities, more so then their ways of fighting. It's said in stories that between their excellent healing abilities and the healing lakes they lived around, they could heal anything at anytime."
Jin put a childish grin on his face, making Yusuke look at him funny. Jin signaled for Yusuke to be quite. Since he was behind Touya he had the perfect opportunity to scare him. Jin let his powers disappear making him fall, as he hit the water he grabbed Touya's shoulders making him go under with a surprised cry.
When he surfaced he coughed and whipped around to look at Jin, who was trying his best to look innocent. Touya yelled, "What was that for Jin?!"
Jin gave a big smile, "For fun."
Touya sighed and went to sit next to Yusuke, but had to duck back under water quickly to avoid being hit by a red ball, Jin had managed to doge it as well.
Yusuke had given out a small cry as the ball hit him on the back of his head and continued past him. He wiped around to find a young girl standing there giggling, obviously the culprit.
The girl looked to be about seven or eight. She had mid back, brown hair and blue at the bottom of it, she was wearing a light blue dress which complimented her blue eyes.
"Where'd the kid come from?" Kuwabara asked the question that everyone was thinking.
"It's not nice to throw things at people kid," Yusuke said to the girl.
The girl just giggled again and took off running down the chamber toward to small waterfall.
"Hay, wait a second, I wasn't done talking to you kid," Yusuke half yelled as he got up at started chasing the child.
The child was giggling the whole time she ran; it was as if she thought this whole thing was a game. When she came to the rocks around the waterfall she stopped and looked up. She gave yet another small giggle and started climbing the rocks, which led to the top of the waterfall.
"Woe, hay kid come down from there before you hurt yourself" Yusuke yelled to the child but she paid him no mind and continued her climbing. Yusuke sighed and started up after her.
When he had gotten to the top the girl was at the edge of the falls, peering over it. "Alright kid, come here. I won't hurt you," Yusuke told her. The child looked over her shoulder at him before turning around. "That's right, come here," he motioned with hands for her to come.
The child gave a smile and jumped backward off the falls. Yusuke let out a cry as he ran and jumped off hoping to save her from drowning, but that didn't quite happen. Before he hit the water he saw the girl standing on top of it looking at him curiously, head cocked to the side.
When Yusuke surfaced the girl was in the same place but she was laughing at him. He looked at her in disbelief, 'How could she stand on water? Is she a wind demon like Jin?' Yusuke thought.
The child ceased laughing and turned around. She ran, still on top of the water, to her ball, which still lay in the water and picked it up.
Yusuke swam to the shore on his left, a bit off from the falls. When he reached the shore he stood and called out, "Hay kid, what are you and what is your name?"
The child didn't answer, yet again. Instead she started walking back to the fall, still on the water, while throwing her ball in the air and catching it.
"Yusuke, she may be a water demon spirit. She walks on the water, so she can't be a wind type demon, for they would just fly over it," Koenma called over to Yusuke.
"So water demon's can walk on water as well," Yusuke said to himself
The child had reached the falls and turned around, she waved to the group, bidding them to follow her. She then turned and walked through the falls.
"Another passage," Hiei said getting up, "This place is full of secrets."
The group followed the girl, walking on land, and then they passed through the falls. When they wiped the water out of their faces they saw a huge lightly glowing blue crystal a few feet in front of them. The crystal it self didn't surprise them, what was inside it shocked them the most.
A teenage girl lay sleeping in the very crystal they were looking at.
Cliffy...again. Who is this girl in the crystal? Is she really asleep or is she dead and just preserved? Will the gang have a run in with the evil demon? If so will they be able to survive?
To find out stay tuned for the next chapter (which will come out if I get 3 reviews)
