Ceres: I might be able to add the last death in this chapter. If not, then
you guys will just have to wait till the next one. By the way, the story
will probably be over in at least 5 chapters. I might be able to make a
sequel but before I do, I'm going to have to finish my other stories that
have been on hiatus for the longest time.
Kurama: You'll finish those stories soon enough.
Ceres: Thank you, Kurama. I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho. But it doesn't hurt to dream, does it? ^^;; By the way, there will be a lot of spoilers in this chapter of Tournament's End.
~*~*~*~*~*~*
Yusuke was overwhelmed. He made a promise to Kei and know she's dead (at least he thought she was *wink*). He was on all fours on the ground, head bent down, and shoulders shaking from uncontrollable tears pouring from his tightly closed eyes. Toguro had hurt too many people and it was his job to stop him. If he didn't, Genkai's, Kei's and Karasu's death would have been in vain. Yusuke slowly stood up, a strange aura surrounded him. He looked at Kei. Kurama was currently holding her in his arms and weeping in her neck, giving him the impression that she was really dead. Yusuke clenched his fists in anger and looked down so his few strands of misplaced hair covered his eyes. Then he heard Toguro say "Do you think that was sufficient for you? Or do I have to kill another one of your friends in order to get the point?"
Yusuke was enraged. How many people must Toguro kill just for his own amusement? Was this all some sort of joke? Yusuke clenched his fists tighter and suddenly teleported to the opposite side of Toguro. Then Yusuke said "I've been pathetic... But I won't let you kill anybody anymore. You have caused too many people unbearable pain and it's time for you to taste what they are feeling."
A blue circle enclosed around Yusuke's feet and a powerful aura clouded the whole stadium. Everybody was entranced by the power emitting from Yusuke's body. Memories of how Kei treated him during those fights in the woods ran through his mind. She reminded him of Genkai, rough and a bit of a smart-alec at times but still honorable. She was just as powerful a fire demon as Hiei. The one time she smiled at him, when she told him of her past, ran through his mind and a lone tear made it's way down his cheek. "Let's do this. I told you I'll never forgive you, now I'll never be able to forgive myself. So let's just do this..." Yusuke said.
A swirl of power erupted from Yusuke and rose into the air, giving people the impression of one of Jin's Tornado Fists except much larger. Kei couldn't hear their short conversation but she could tell that Toguro had charged at Yusuke and now he was ground sliding towards the wall. Another aura surrounded the stadium but this time, it was Toguro's and Yusuke's mixed together. The power was overwhelming and the weak demons in the crowds began to cower in fear. Yusuke's aura kept in changing from red to blue, a sign that he was as angry as he could be. Then Toguro said "Are you hurting Yusuke? Feeling guilty? Well, don't worry it's just like the chicken pox. Once you get a taste of it, it never comes back. Throw off the bags of guilt and you can become as powerful as me. Give yourself control!"
"Shut up, Toguro. I'm not like you. I just won't throw people away. If it hadn't been for them, I wouldn't have gotten this far. This goes especially for Kei. She risked her life trying to train me and I won't let that go unnoticed. I made a promise to her, that I would defeat you. And I don't expect to betray her trust..." Yusuke said, cutting of Toguro.
Toguro began ranting again and Yusuke punched him. Toguro ended up tossing in the floor in a ground slide. When he stopped, Yusuke launched a Spirit Gun and Toguro slid back even more. Then Yusuke said "Get on your feet! I'm firing one last shot with all I've got and it's going to end this fight one way or another. So no stupid surprises or fakes. You show me everything you've got right now. If I win this time, I don't ever want to see you back up again!"
Toguro grinned menacingly. He began to rant again and when he finished, Toguro increased his power again, making him look even more like a monster. After another conversation of power started by Toguro, Yusuke charged up his Spirit Gun and energy burst from Toguro's body. After a long moment of charging up, Yusuke finally yelled "Spirit Gun!" while Toguro charged at the upcoming ball of energy.
Anxiety spread across the stadium as everybody watched Toguro resist the last of Yusuke's energy. People froze where they were, their eyes fixed on the hideous demon.
~~~Quick authoress' note~~~
I'm tired of putting up the exact conversations from the video and I'm afraid of putting too many spoilers into the story. So I'm just going to put the details.
~~~Authoress' note done~~~
Toguro's demon body shattered and all that was left was his human body inside. He was ragged and worn. Yusuke fell to the floor moments before. Toguro fell and people watched in amazement. They did not notice Yusuke get up, but when they did, the whole stadium cheered. They were now safe from the demon Toguro. Yusuke collapsed again but Koenma and Kuwabara helped him up. Then he glanced at Kei and Kurama. Kurama still had his face buried in her neck but he wasn't weeping. "Is she...?" Yusuke asked Kurama.
Kurama looked up at him and said "I think you should ask her for yourself."
Yusuke knelt down before Kei and gasped. She was healed by Genkai (in Puu form!) and was now alive and well. She grinned and said "Hello, Yusuke. You did very well. Congratulations!"
Tears brimmed at the edges of his eyes, blurring his vision. He couldn't believe it, she was alive! Then he yelled "Why the heck are you still alive?! Do you mean that I cried my heart out for nothing?! Kei!"
Kei and Kurama laughed. She said "It was all a trick. He was messing with your brain, trying to make you find your true power. I knew how everything would end, so I sacrificed myself for you to find the power lying within."
Kuwabara began to laugh and said "She made you look like a little kid, crying like that!"
Yusuke got up and immediately began to beat up Kuwabara. "Kei!" they heard two voices yell from behind them.
Kei turned around just in time to see Jin jump on her. He pinned her to the ground. She looked up at him and saw tears streaming from his blue eyes. "Don't you ever, ever, EVER do that again, Kei! You had Touya and I worried sick 'cause o' you!"
He got off of her to reveal Touya. Silent tears stained his cheeked. She wiped them away and looked up at him. Out of all her brothers, blood related and adopted, he was the one she favored most ever since Karasu's death. Pain and worry were noticeable in his cold blue eyes. "You had me VERY worried, Kei. Don't do that again..." he said, choking on his own words.
She looked down, unable to meet his eyes, and murmured "I'm sorry, Touya."
Fortunately, Jin and Touya forgave her quite quickly and they all turned back to watch Yusuke beat the living hell out of Kuwabara. Kurama came behind Kei and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close. This is how everything is supposed to be. Now, everything was normal...

Ceres: Don't be fooled by the dramatic ending! There is still more chapters to come!
Hiei: Review or I'll kill you in your sleep!
Kurama: You'll finish those stories soon enough.
Ceres: Thank you, Kurama. I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho. But it doesn't hurt to dream, does it? ^^;; By the way, there will be a lot of spoilers in this chapter of Tournament's End.
