Fatal Disease: Life or Death

04: Ending

Sen watched as Reiyna sent the large energy orb at him. However he didn't feel it hit hime, instead he felt the energy blast pass right through him. Turning he saw the blast hit Yuusuke but the boy seemed to absorb the energy.

"No," Sen whispered as he watched Yuusuke raise to his feet after the blow. "This isn't possible, I am supposed to absorb the energy."

Yuusuke laughed as he seemed to moved like he was drunk. "She was loyal to me, Sen! Not you, so therefore I received the energy and not you." He laughed louder as he readied himself for th spirit wave attack. "I know this isn't fair to beat you when you are at such a low class compared to me but you threatened my friends."

A blue glow of spiritual energy engulfed Yuusuke before a giant blast of spiritual power shot toward Sen, completely obliterating him. When the smoke finally cleared away, Yuusuke found Reiyna standing over Sen's ashes. Looking around, he saw Hiei, Kurama and Kuwabara laying on the ground.

Before he could move toward them, Reiyna said, "thank you, Yuusuke. I didn't know how it would take you to come and destroy Ende, but I knew that you would do it for me. At my current level I couldn't even scratch the walls of the dungeon. You, however, were able to beat both Ende and Sen." She turned and looked at Yuusuke. "Your friends are fine. They will wake up any minute now with their energy fully restored to them."

"What about you, Reiyna? What's going to happen with you?" Yuusuke asked, returning his attention to the angel-like woman.

"I am going back home, Yuusuke." Reiyna replied, turning to face him. "Tell everyone good-bye for me. Also, tell Kurama that he is welcome to come visit any time he wants."

Yuusuke stepped forward but she was already gone. ~Reiyna, I am sorry for yelling at you,~ he thought, staring at the spot where she once stood. ~And thank you for the help.~

"Anytime, Yuusuke," he heard her reply.

Yuusuke wiped a tear from his check and went to kneel by his compainions.

"Is he gone?" Kuwabara asked, looking up at Yuusuke.

"Yes as is Reiyna." Yuusuke replied, helping him sit up. He turned and saw both Kurama and Hiei sitting up. When Kurama looked around, worried, Yuusuke said, "She has gone home, Kurama, but she welcomes you to visit her whenever you want."

Kurama nodded and yawned.

Hiei looked at Yuusuke, concern written all over his child-like face.

"I am all right," he mouthed to Hiei. Outloud, he said, "we should also be getting back home. The girls will be very worried about us if we are gone too long without them knowing where we are."

Everyone nodded. Moments later, they were back in the park with all of the humans not having realized that they had been gone. They all made their way back to the temple, where they were greated by angry and worried women. Keiko slapped Yuusuke for going without telling her where he would be. Yukina greated Hiei and Kuwabara with concern in her voice. Genkai awaited them all for their return.

"Where is Reiyna?" Kieko asked, looking around.

Kurama frowned and replied, "she has gone home."

"Oh." For a moment, Keiko frowned but then she went back to yelling at Yuusuke who was now ignoring her.

"Everything's back to normal, Koenma," Botan said, standing by the the young-looking lord. "Sen is gone and there is no longer that threat against Yuusuke."

"Yes, but they are not safe from all danger just yet." Koenma replied, looking at the screen before him. "They are still in for more danger as long as they live."

"I know, Koenma, sir, but they deserve a long vacation for this, don't you think?" Botan asked, turning to look at Koenma.

"They are on vacation until another mission comes up, Botan."

Botan shook her head as she turned back to the screen.

Yuusuke and the rest of his team were happy to have Ende and Sen gone. For the time being, they were safe from harm. For the time, nothing would be able to get them as they trained and finished the summer.

"C'mon, guys, let's have some fun!" Yuusuke yelled, putting an arm around both Kurama and Kuwabara's shoulders. "We deserve it."
