Yusuke's Gemini By:XZanayu

CHAPTER FOUR

Five figures stand outside the entrance of the ruins of Matiar's temple.

"Well, this is inviting." Yusuke said.

"We must be extremely careful. We know that demons and one of Vendetta's lap dog in there somewhere, but there are also traps. So be on guard."

Akari said. "Right."

Kuribara said. "Let's go.

" Hiei said. The group entered and walked down the entry way until the reached a room with three doors in front of them.

"Which one do we take?" Kurama asked.

Kuribara closed his eyes for a moment and opened them again.

"Its the middle one." Kuribara said.

"Okay." Yusuke said and opened the door and walked down the hallway into another room that was illuminated with candles strategically place around the room. The room they were in had no doors that they could see. A steel door slammed down behind them cutting off the way they came.

"This isn't good." Kurama said. It was then they looked up and saw the ceiling coming towards them and not to mention the walls.

"Oh, man. We're trapped." Yusuke said. Akari wasn't worried. She kneeled down and tapped on the floor.

"What are you doing, Akari. We've got problems here." Kuribara said.

Akari said nothing, just continue to knock on the floor until she heard what she was listening for.

"Bingo." She said.

She placed her fist on the floor on the spot where she heard the sound and channeled her spirit energy to her fist and into the floor.

"Get ready, guys." She told them.

The floor started to crack and collapsed. Sending the group down a dark shaft. They continued to fall when Akari noticed something shiny below them. As they got closer, she saw that they were razor sharp spikes. She quickly enclosed all of them in a spirit shield that slowed and stopped their descent an three inches above the spikes.

"Whew. That was close." Yusuke said.

"We're not safe yet." Akari told them as she guided the shield to the one spot on the floor that was covered with spikes and landed, keeping the shield around them. They watched as the spikes in front of them disappeared and formed a path leading to door. Akari lowered the shield and started forward, Yusuke and the others followed. Akari touched the doorknob, but didn't open the door.

"What's wrong?" Yusuke asked his Gemini. Akari stepped back, looked at the door for a moment, then kick it in and rush inside to find a room full of demons. "Well, well. Looks like our dinner has finally arrived." One demon said.

"Looks like we hit the jackpot." Another one said. Kuribara formed his spirit sword, Hiei drew his sword, Kurama armed with his rose whip. Only Akari and Yusuke stood without weapons.

"Man. These demons spirit energy is incredible." Kuribara said.

"From drawing energy from the temple, no doubt." Hiei said.

"Well, they picked the one people to have for dinner." Yusuke said.

"True enough, Yusuke. I suggest we make short work of them and quickly. I get the feeling that these guys are here just to slow us down. To keep us from reaching Vendetta's lap dog." Akari told them.

"But why?" Kurama asked. "I don't know. But, whatever is, its not good for us, spirit world or the human world." She replied.

"Enough talk!! Get them!" The demons charged towards them.

"What do you say, boys? Shall we?" Akari said, dropping into a fighting stance, with a smile on her face.

"Of course." Hiei said. Yusuke and the others were kicking and slaying demon butts left to right. They were kicking ass and taking names. But, the demons just kept coming.

"Is there no end to this?" Kurama said, destroying a group of demons with his whip. Akari had had enough.

"Enough of this! Shotgun!" She shouted. The multiple blast was wide-spread and hit every last demon and the entire wall behind the demons, hitting and killing the demons beyond the wall. After the blast dissipated and the smoke cleared, every last demon was dead.

"Wha?" Yusuke said amazed.

"Wow, Akari. You really are powerful." Kuribara said.

"I have to be. My world has demons bent on destruction and I'm only a soldier in the army that keeps them in line." She told them.

"It appears your Gemini was telling the truth when she said she was stronger than you, detective." Hiei said looking at the carnage they caused.

"I expect nothing less from my twin." Yusuke said looking at Akari with a smile. Akari returned the smile.

"Come. We must hurry. If Vendetta's lap dog was this adamant about keeping us away from where they are, something very big and very bad is about to happen." They all ran down the corridor that stood behind the destroyed wall. The ran until they reached a door and stopped.

"Wha-what is that?" Kuribara said, feeling a very powerful and evil presence beyond the door.

"Our host, no doubt." Hiei said.

"Man! So much spirit energy." Yusuke said through gritted teeth.

"Vendetta certainly didn't send a slacker that's for sure." Akari said.

"Well, let's not keep them waiting." Yusuke said and opened the door.

*** Back on Earth, Botan explained the situation to Kuribara's sister, Yukina, and Keiko.

"So, Yusuke has a Gemini and she came to protect Yusuke?" Keiko asked. "That's right. Right now, they're on a mission and I wanted to let you know since they didn't have time to tell you what happened." Botan said.

"Are you sure they will be okay?" Yukina asked.

"Oh yes. Akari is very powerful and very protective of Yusuke and the others. So, I guess you can say Akari's the mom of the group."

Botan said in a upbeat tone. "I hope so."

Yukina said still worried. "Don't worry, Yukina. They can take care of themselves." Keiko told her, patting her shoulder.

**** Back in the Matiar's Temple. Hiei, Akari, Yusuke, Kuribara, and Kurama stood in a seemingly empty room, but they all sensed the presence of a powerful demon. "It appears our host wants to play hide and seek with us." Kurama said.

"You wish to see your destroyer? Very well." A deep voice said from somewhere in the room. There was a bright flash of light and they saw a large demon standing before them. He stood about eight feet tall, covered with tawny colored fur from head to toe, had a tail, golden eyes and matte brown, shoulder length hair. He looked like a lion.

"Greetings. I am called Raion and I'm here to destroy you, Yusuke and friends." The demon said.

"That's a lie." Akari said. Everyone looked at her.

"True. You want to kill us, but that's not you only goal for being here now, is it?" She said looking at Raion. Raion laughed.

"Very perceptive, young one. You're not as dumb as you look. You're right. There is another reason for being here other than ending your pathetic lives. Behind me you will notice a three small orbs. Theses are the orbs of Chaos, Destruction, and Discord. These are considered the most dangerous objects in the spirit world and my mistress needs them to complete her plan."

"And what plan is that?" Yusuke asked.

"Now, now. You really don't expect me to tell you that, do you? Enough talk. Time to die!" Raion roared and charged the group, who jumped out of the way, letting him pass and collide with the wall. In the next instant he was behind Kuribara and Kurama knocking them into the floor.

"Kuribara! Kurama!" Yusuke shouted running to his fallen friends.

"Are you okay?" Hiei asked them as they slowly sat up. "Be careful, guys. He's incredibly strong." Kuribara said winching in pain.

"Can you still fight?" Akari asked standing in front of them, watching Raion for his next move.

"I think so." Kurama said getting to his feet. Raion laughed.

"What a bunch of weaklings and to think that Vendetta is worried about you interfering with her plan." Hiei drew his sword, Kurama his rose whip and Kuribara his sword.

"You ready to get serious this time? Excellent. So will I." Raion said and vanished.

"What the?" Yusuke said. Raion appeared behind Kuribara, grabbed him and through him into the opposite wall.

"Kuribara!" Akari yelled.

"Rose whip!" Kurama launched his attack and Raion caught the whip and swung Kurama around his head, released the whip and hit the floor hard.

"Kurama! That's it! Spirit Wave!" Yusuke fired the orb at Raion and he dodged it!!

"That's not possible!" Yusuke looked on with shocked.

"Come on, you can do better than that." Raion laughed.

"How can he move so fast to be so huge?" Yusuke was dumbfounded.

"Yusuke! Kurama and Kuribara are down. We're the only ones left." Hiei said after he and Akari joined him after checking on Kurama and Kuribara who were unconscious.

"Oh, that's just great." Yusuke said.

"Don't worry. You'll all been dead soon enough. Right now, I'm having too much fun playing with you." Raion said.

The three remaining members growled angrily and assume their stances.

"Here I come!" Raion charged towards them again and vanished from site. "Not again." Yusuke said looking around the room for him.

"Yusuke!" Akari shouted and dived into Yusuke knocking them both out to the way of Raion's fist which landed in the floor leaving a very large hole. Raion vanished again.

"Now where'd he go?" Yusuke said. Raion suddenly appeared behind with his fist raised coming towards Hiei.

"HIEI! LOOK OUT!" Yusuke yelled. It happened in slow motion. Hiei was turning around as the fist came at him. Hiei froze like a deer caught in headlights. Raion's fist would have hit him when Akari came flying across in front of him sideways. One hand grabbing his collar the other aimed at Raion.

"SPIRIT GUN!!" The blast erupted in a very slim beam of light, entering Raion chest while simultaneously landed her and Hiei safely to the side, narrowly missing Raion's fist. They both sat up and looked at Raion. Raion looked down at the small hole in his chest and started to laugh and suddenly stopped. Beams of light erupted from his body. He screamed and then exploded. Yusuke covered his head and Akari shielded Hiei with hers while erected a spirit shield around the injured and unconscious Kurama and Kuribara, waiting for the debris and shock wave to end. It passed and everything was quiet. Yusuke sat up and immediately went over to check Kurama and Kuribara. Akari sat up along with Hiei and looked him over for injuries.

"Are you okay?" She asked him. He started at her and nodded. She helped him to his feet and ran over to where Yusuke was. "Kurama, Kuribara. Answer me!" Yusuke shouted, shaking them.

"Calm down, Yusuke." Akari told him, kneeling down beside him. Hiei stood beside her. She lifted her hands and placed them on Kurama and Kuribara's foreheads. Her hands started to glow for a few moments and stopped and removed her hands. Kurama and Kuribara stirred and opened their eyes. They slowly sat up.

"You two okay?" Hiei asked them.

"Other than feeling like a getting hit by a 15 story building, I think I'm okay. Just a little weak." Kurama answered.

"Diddo." Kuribara agreed.

 "What did you do, Akari?" Yusuke asked.

"I healed them, but only a little bit. We need to return to the human world so they can fully recover, but before we leave." Akari stood up and walked over to the three orbs sitting on the pedestal and collected them.

"We'll take these with us. I don't think Vendetta can complete her plan with these." Akari said and walked back over to them.

"We need to get these to Kuenma for the time being. I don't think Vendetta would dare go to him to retrieved them." And with that said, Akari surrounded them with her spirit energy and teleported them back first the the spirit world to drop of the orbs, then to Yusuke's house for Kuribara and Kurama to recover from their injures.

**** Elsewhere, a voice is heard.

"My lady, the spirit detective has defeated Raion and taken the Orbs of Chaos, Destructions, and Discord."

"Where are the orbs now?" a female voice asked.

"Kuenma has them."

"Dammit! I did not want that to happen. No matter, proceed with phase two of the plan."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Yusuke Yurimeshi. I will have my revenge against you and your friends for killing my family. You will all die!" A pair of glowing red eyes appeared in the darkness.
