The Two Demons' Plot

Disclaimer:  I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho or Inuyasha, sadly. :-(

"What is that?" asked Yusuke as they all jumped to avoid Inuyasha's attack.

"It would appear to be the one they call Inuyasha," replied Kurama, "We should not fight him."

"We don't have much choice, now do we?" asked Yusuke, as the familiar blue light began to surround his index finger.

"Yusuke, don't!" exclaimed Kurama as the blue energy blast left Yusuke's finger, straight for Inuyasha.

"What?" asked Inuyasha, barely dodging the energy blast.

Naraku's Castle

"Tell me, Toguro," said Naraku, his back turned to the other villain, "What was that tremendous blue light?"

"That Naraku," said the villainous Elder Toguro, "was the Spirit Gun of Yusuke Urameshi."

"Then, the Spirit Detectives have arrived?" questioned Naraku, turning to face the Elder Toguro.

"Indeed," laughed the Elder Toguro brother.

The Bone-Eater's Well

"What was that?" asked Inuyasha, his question mostly directed towards Sango, Kagome, and Miroku.

"It would appear that the demon has learned to control his spirit energy and launch it from his index finger as a blast of energy," responded Miroku.

"If you would please listen," began Kurama, "We have no intention of fighting you."

"That's too bad," said Inuyasha, pulling out the Tetsusaiga, "I have other plans for you."

Inuyasha lunged at them again, this time with Tetsusaiga in hand.  He took one gigantic swipe with the sword, but the entire group was able to dodge.

"Rose Whip!" exclaimed Kurama, transforming his trademark rose into his trademark weapon. 

"Maybe you will listen, without the sword," said Kurama calmly, thrusting the whip and gaining hold of the Tetsusaiga.

"Who are you anyway?" asked Kagome, stepping forward.

"We are the Spirit Detectives, sent here by Koenma to stop some demon named Naraku," said Yusuke, "He's teamed up with a demon from our time."

"We don't need your help fighting Naraku," sneered Inuyasha, turning his back.

"Silence, you half-demon," said Hiei, speaking loudly to make sure Inuyasha could hear.

"What did you say, shrimp?" asked Inuyasha, turning around to face Hiei.

"I believe you heard me," said Hiei.

"Whatever," remarked Inuyasha, taking to a nearby tree.

"Don't mind Inuyasha," said Kagome, "He always acts like that around new people."

"And don't mind Hiei," said Kurama, "He always acts like that around, everyone."

Sesshomaru's Palace

"Lord Sesshomaru, there was a brilliant blue light in the sky," exclaimed Jaken, the humble servant of Sesshomaru.

"As I am aware," replied Sesshomaru, "I sense a great amount of energy has arrived in this time."

Bone-Eater's Well

"Well, we should go to the village of Lady Kaede," said Sango, "We can discuss this further there."

Naraku's Castle

"Well, it is time," said Elder Toguro, "Send your Kagura to Spirit World to get the one they call Botan."

"Yes, and I will send another incarnation to fight the fools that have joined Inuyasha," laughed Naraku.

Spirit World

"Welcome to Spirit World," said the friendly voice of a familiar toddler, Koenma, "How may I help you?"

"I'm looking for Botan," said Kagura, trying her best to make it sound as though she knew her, "I am an old friend of hers."

"I'll see if she can come see you," said Koenma, paging Botan.

"Botan!" exclaimed Kagura, hugging Botan, "It's me, your old friend, Kagura."

"Who?" asked Botan, sounding surprised.

"Kagura," said the demon, opening her fan, and gaining control of Botan.

Lady Kaede's Hut

"So, ye have quite a story behind ye," said Lady Kaede.  Yusuke and the others had just explained their origins.  Yusuke had explained how he had been a delinquent, been killed, and enlisted by Spirit World to protect the Human World.  Kuwabara explained how he had simply joined them after learning of Yusuke's mission.  Kurama told of his origins as a thief, leaving out the part about Yoko Kurama.  He also told of the three Artifacts of Darkness-the Orb of Baast, the Shadow Sword, and the Forlorn Hope.  Hiei's story was much the same.

After more explanations, this time from Inuyasha and the gang, they were well acquainted.  Unfortunately, a major explosion erupted from outside, alerting everyone.

"What is going on out there?" asked Lady Kaede, rushing to the door with everyone else.

"I am an incarnation of Naraku called Zekhameron," said the towering, yellow beast outside.  It had claws sharp enough to puncture any metal with one swipe and fangs that would have made a vampire cry.

"Well, just another incarnation to kill," said Inuyasha, drawing Tetsusaiga.

"It's time," said Hiei, also drawing his saber.

"Spirit Sword!" exclaimed Kuwabara, creating the energy sword in his hand.

The three warriors then lunged at Zekhameron, who was more than ready.  He took one enormous swipe with his claws, striking Inuyasha and Kuwabara, but missing Hiei, who was too fast to strike.  He tried again, this time hitting all of them.

"Rose Whiplash!" exclaimed Kurama, jumping into the air and summoning the Rose Whip.  He then slashed numerous times, almost too fast to be seen, but Zekhameron proved he had too tough a hide.  The Rose Whiplash had little effect on him.

"You are pathetic," said Zekhameron, "Luckily, Master Naraku and Lord Toguro, have told me to spare you all for them to kill."

Zekhameron then used speed, almost faster than Hiei's, appearing in front of Sango, Kagome, and Kaede. 

"Hiraikotsu!" said Sango, throwing the large boomerang weapon, which bounced off without a dent on Zekhameron. 

"Weak," said Zekhameron, grabbing the three girls, "My masters will be most pleased with the three of you."  Zekhameron then disappeared in a flash of green light.

"KAGOME!" yelled Inuyasha, but he had already lost the scent of Zekhameron.

"Yusuke," said Koenma, appearing in the sky.

"What is it, toddler?" asked Yusuke.

"Botan and Keiko have been kidnapped by servants of Naraku and Toguro," said Koenma.

"Keiko, no!" said Yusuke, falling to his knees.

A fiery glint appeared in Kurama's eyes as Koenma mentioned that Botan had been kidnapped.

"You must get them back!" exclaimed Koenma, disappearing from the sky.

Naraku's Castle

"What do you want with us?" asked Keiko, struggling to break free.

"It is quite simple really," answered the Elder Toguro, "We intend to extract the life energy from you."

"Our life energy?" asked Botan.

"Yes," said Elder Toguro, "Your pure power will re-energize the power of the Sacred Jewel of Four Souls, granting it power beyond anything imaginable!"

"Then, we will use you to finish your friends," said Naraku, "And the world-past and present- will be ours!"

Hi!  This is Botan speaking!  Elder Toguro and Naraku send in an enormous group of demons and begin the process of taking our life extract.  Naraku's latest incarnation as well as some powerful demon puppets will appear.  Sesshomaru and Yoko Kurama just might come as well.  Next time, the First Encounter With The Two Demons' Forces, see you then!

Well, there we go!  That's the end of that chapter.  :-)
