Yusuke's Gemini

By:XZanayu

CHAPTER 12

Later that evening, Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama, Kuwabara, and Akari were in her room sitting on her bed playing cards in their sleeping clothes.

"Your dad sure is something, Akari. Heh,heh. Did you see how he put those losers in their place?" Kuwabara said.

"Daddy knows you guys wouldn't kill in cold blood. Well, in Hiei's case, not anymore." Akari said, pulling a card from the deck.

"What are we playing?" Yusuke asked with a grin.

"Gin." Akari replied.

Yusuke put his cards down to show he won the game.

"Awww, man!!" Kuwabara moaned.

"That makes five wins for you, aniki-chan. Way to go." Akari said.

"Let's see, five wins for Yusuke, 3 for Kurama, 4 for Hiei and I, and zippo for Kuwabara." Akari said with slight giggle while writing down the score on the small tablet. "Kuwabara, you may be master at rock, paper, scissors, but you suck at Gin." Yusuke said shuffling the cards for another game.

There was a soft knock on the door.

"Come in." Akari said picking up her cards that Yusuke passed out. The door opened and a demon servant came in with a cart with four covered dishes, small serving bowls, plates, utensils, glasses, and large pitcher of lemonade. The servant removed the domes to reveal a large bowl of mushroom soup, a plate of shark potstickers, a plate of meat dumplings and five slices of strawberry cheesecake for desert.

"Will that be all, your majesty?" the servant asked.

"Yes, Zim. Thank you and good night." Akari replied with a smile.

"Good night, your majesty." And with that, Zim left the room.

"I don't know about you guys, but I'm famished. Let's eat. Before I forget..Gin!" Akari said putting down her winning hand before getting off the bed, walked over to the cart and began fixing her food. The four guys followed her example and piled their plates high and sat on the rug covered floor to enjoy their meals.

"Mmm. This is delicious!" Kuwabara said stuffing his face with a meat bun.

"Yeah. Zim always was a master chef. He taught me how to cook." Akari said biting down into a piece of shark meat, savoring the taste.

They finished eating in silence and return to Akari's bed for a few more hands at cards. As Akari studied the cards in her hand, she felt an icy tingle down her spine. Her head snapped up, catching the guys' attention.

"What's wrong?" Kurama asked.

"Hmph. It appears that the three remaining lapdogs of Vendetta have decided to take a chance at taking the Cradle of Life and the Orbs of Chaos, Destruction, and Discord. There inside the castle now." she replied.

"Are you sure?" Yusuke asked his twin.

"Un,huh." she said calmly drawing another card from the deck and putting one down.

"Well, shouldn't we stop them?" Kuwabara asked.

"No need. Our unwanted guests are going to be in for very rude awakening if they think we left the our items unguarded." she said.

"Are you sure?" Kurama asked.

"Yes. And if the security system doesn't stop them, Kenta will. Gin." Akari said putting down her winning hand.

"Kenta?" Hiei asked.

"Um,hum. Kento's twin brother and he's real grouchy when you wake him up before he's ready to. The last time someone did that, he ate him. But, just to be safe." Akari held out her hands, palms upward.

"Spirit mirror." An 8x10 mirror appeared in her hands. She placed the mirror on the bed in the middle of the circle they formed.

"Let's just see what are guests are up to?" Akari said. The mirror glowed softly for a moment and their reflections were replaced with an image of Ginzu, Jiro, and Songo running down the hallway in the direction of where the Cradle of Life and Orb of Chaos, Destruction, and Discord are.

"They're nearly there." Akari said, watching them turn the corner.

"Akari." Yusuke said to her.

"Its alright, watch." she answered watching the trio reach the room that held the items they seek.

"This is it? What a pathetic excuse for a security system. You'd think they have something better than that." Ginzu said. Jiro opened the door and there in darkness, illuminated by the glow of the force field surrounding them, were the Orbs Of Chaos, Destruction, Discord and the Cradle of Life.

The three entered the room, unaware they were being watched. The three intruders approached the pedestal where the four mystical items rested.

"A simple force field shouldn't be hard to get-what is wrong with you Jiro?" Songo said looking at Jiro who was staring into the darkness.

"I-I thought I saw something moving?" Jiro said looking around in the darkness. Songo and Ginzu looked around.

"There's nothing there and I don't detect any spirit energy other than ours and this barrier. You're losing it, Jiro." Songo said.

"When did he ever have it?" Ginzu added sarcastically.

"I'm telling you something's in here with us." Jiro said nervously.

"Whatever. Look, we don't have time for your imagination to go into overdrive. We have get out of here before someone sounds the alarm." Songo said miffed, turning her attention back to the force field. Jiro continued to look around when he jumped.

"What now?" Ginzu said, getting angry with Jiro.

"Something just brush past my leg." Jiro replied looking down at his legs and feet. "Cut it out, Jiro. I'm trying to break this barrier, but I can't concentrate with you-AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

"Ewwww. Definitely NOT the way I would want to go out." Akari said as she, Hiei, Kurama, and Yusuke watched Jiro, Ginzo, and Songo torn to shreds by Kenta's razor sharp teeth and claws with precision and unheard of speed.

They heard the toilet flush in the bathroom when the image disappeared. Kuwabara walked out looking very pale.

"You feeling better, Kuwabara?" Akari asked as he eased down to sit on the bed.

"I'm still a little woozy. Jeez! That was to terrible a death even for them." Kuwabara said.

"I'm sorry, Kuwabara. But, I warned you that Kenta's very vicious and without mercy when he kills especially when someone invades the castle or wakes him up when he doesn't want to be." Akari said, rubbing his back.

"I know, I know. How could u sit through that?" He asked her.

"Its not like I haven't seen worse. You seem to forget your definition of overkill is far different from a demon's definition." she said handing him a glass of water with baking soda and aoeras mixed in. "

What's this?" Kuwabara asked looking at the glass then smelling it.

"Its what my mom gave me when I was sick. It'll make you feel better and plus help you sleep. After witnessing what just happened, you are gonna have nightmares. This will stop that from happening." she replied.

"Are you sure it won't kill me?" He asked. Hiei rolled his eyes.

"Just drink it, idiot. If Akari says it works, it works." Hiei told him.

"Alright, alright already." Kuwabara answered in a whiny tone. He down the drink in one gulp and handed the glass back to her. He blinked twice and then smiled.

"Hey! I feel great! It really works!" Kuwabara said hopping off the bed and strutting around the room.

"Good. Now, I suggest we go to bed. We have a big day tomorrow restoring everyone on Earth in your dimension back to life." Akari said.

The guys got up, bid Akari goodnight and left to go to bed. Akari had just turned off the light and slid under the covers when there was a soft knock on her door. She smiled.

"Come in, Hiei." The door opened and sure enough, Hiei walked in dressed in only his pajama bottoms.

The moonlight streaming in through the open french doors gleamed off his finely chiseled chest. He said nothing as he closed the door and looked at Akari. Akari moved over, turned back the covers, and patted the empty space beside her. Hiei smiled and walked over to the bed.

After removing his pants, he slid in and pulled Akari into his arms, her head lying on his chest.

"How long before they figure out what's going on between us?" Akari asked. "I think Kurama already knows something, as for Yusuke and that moron, Kuwabara, they don't suspect a thing." He replied. Akari giggled.

"Why do you pick on Kuwabara?" she asked with a smile. Hiei snorted before answering.

"Because he's a moron, an idiot, and fancies himself in love with my sister, Yukina." He replied.

"But, you respect his power and his abilities as well." Akari wasn't asking, but stated the sentence.

"I guess I do, but don't tell him I said that." Akari giggled again before leaning up to kiss Hiei goodnight and the two soon feel asleep.

Meanwhile, Vendetta has just received word that the remaining generals have been killed. Vendetta crushes the note in her hand, her anger boiling over. She stood up and looked over at a small demon guard to her left.

"Gather the army together. We attack King Dante's kingdom tomorrow!" She said. The demon ran off to do her bidding.

"You will suffer my wrath, Dante. I don't give a damn if you are the King of Demons. No one will stand in my way, not even you." Vendetta said clenching her fists so tightly that they began to bleed.
