Chapter 2, chapter 2. Oh what am I to do with chapter 2? Hey that rhymed! Anyway, that was the
question I was asking myself when I started this installment. I knew where I wanted to go with it,
but I was having a little trouble getting there. I decided to put up the first chapter and see how
everyone took to it, but unfortunately, I got many e-mails expressing their dislike for it. How it
wasn't "up to what I normally do". So I apologize to anyone who might not like how this fourth
installment is coming along, but every series author has a book that isn't as good as the others (ex.
Star wars episode 2, lord of the rings the two towers, or queen of the damned). I promise that this
one will get better as time goes on, and again I apologize for any dislike *bows low to the ground*.
Well, now that that's out of the way, LET THE CHAPTER BEGIN! ENJOY! :) (I hope)
I do not own Jin and Touya nor yu yu hakusho (cows come, cows go, but the bull goes on forever)

"It's been awhile since you sent those two love birds out on their way."
"Yes it has Hiei, but I am confident that Suzuka will know the best way to cure Touya, and
will direct them accordingly."
Hiei's eyes focused themselves more intently on his fox-like companion. This was the first
time Kurama ever mentioned to him where in fact he had sent the former shinobis and the fire demon
didn't like this new found knowledge in the least. "You sent them to HIM. To that lunatic in the
clown suit?"
"You can't always judge a book by its cover Hiei."
"WHAT DO BOOKS HAVE TO DO WITH THIS! YOU KNOW I CAN'T READ
FOX!"
Kurama couldn't help a slight chuckle from escaping. "No Hiei. It's an expression....from
the nigenkai (human world). It means that you can't judge things by there outward appearances.
Suzuka's wardrobe may be slightly off, but he himself knows much about the Makai and everything
that dwells within it. If there is any demon that will be able to help Touya, it will be him."
"Hn. I may not know much about book covers Kurama but I do know about youkai. And
any youkai that hides behind a mask is not one to be trusted." He paused and thought for a moment.
"No matter how many books he's read."
!@#$%^&*()
"Where do you think Jin is now, Sazuka?" Touya asked with a wisp of sorrow clutching the
edge of his voice.
"Huh? Oh. Well. He's been gone nearly a week now so providing he hasn't run into any
kind of trouble, he should just be arriving in Mizuumi no Himitsu."
Touya thought about this. He knew that Jin would not be done with his quest for quite some
time, but with every day that passed a part of the ice warrior went with it. "What do you mean by
trouble?"
"I mean the kind of trouble with fluffy tails and hearts of gold! What kind do you think I
mean?! You used to be a shinobi so you know what's out there waiting for any youkai that may
happen to wander by!"
"But.....do you think something may have already happened to him?"
"Do you?"
Silence was Touya's only answer. He didn't know where his friend was, or what if anything
was happening to him. He could only wait........and pray that nothing befell......the master of wind.
!@#$%^&*()
"HEY LET ME DOWN! HEY DON'T BE TOUCHIN' THAT! WHAT THE BLAZES
ARE YA DOIN' THAT FOR?! LET ME GO!" It was not long before Jin realized that outward
appearances could be very VERY deceiving. The town of Mizuumi no Himitsu had looked inviting
enough, but the youkai that dwelled within were quick in destroying that notion. The very second
the former shinobi had entered the village, he was ambushed by a group of demons of a most
unimaginable sort. They were all very short in stature and all had long hair that seemed reflect the
very color of the lake itself. Their bodies and faces were of a human like structure, except for their
noses and ears, which were slightly more pointed and defined. They spoke a language that was not
known to Jin, fore it was neither Japanese nor English nor any other kind of youkai tongue he had
ever encountered in the Makai. But they were all very beautiful. In fact, they were perhaps the
loveliest creatures the wind master had ever seen (except Touya of course *wink*).
"Yokuze yaka shintaio. Momoto dai no wa? Nucka? Daio? TREEBA! TREEBA!"
What looked to be the eldest member of the group was speaking to him now. He was a man that
resembled some one around middle age in the human world, strong, dark, and powerful. But, not
without the hints of old age showing themselves around the outline of the face.
"Look, I can't understand what ya be sayin' ta me! Haven't ya figured it out yet?!"
The strange youkai took a step towards the wind master, eyes filled with the blackest of rage
and hatred. But Jin did not move. He knew he must keep a cool head about him.......no matter how
much he was trembling inside. In all honesty, the red haired youkai was extremely frightened of
these demons. As a young child, Jin had heard stories of tribes of youkai that lived in secret, far
from those that would do them harm. Virtually hidden from everything, these demons would devote
everything to study and improvement of their you-ki. They were perhaps the most powerful
creatures in all the tree worlds, and it was said that they were only lying in wait.....for the time when
they would be strong enough to take on the very leaders of the Makai themselves. "Timashite. No
luckdo ima masininta. Doiachi wasueri desu. Kimomochi jeu mas suemeikkan rohilo su masu desu
ka nin da?"
"I CAN'T BE UNDERSTANDIN' YA! DON'T YA GET IT!?! I BE NEEDIN' SOME
ONE WHO CAN BE SPEAKIN' LIKE ME! HEAR THAT?! SPEAK....LIKE....ME!". The
strange demon paused and stared at Jin. It seemed as though he were trying to understand what the
wind demon was saying but to no avail. But then, a look of realization seemed to cross over the
man's face. He turned and looked behind him towards the other members of the group.
"Shimasteotoro nai sokomara honchila. Supika! Supika! Treeba youkai joustin na!" A
woman, perhaps a foot shorter than Jin, emerged from the crowd. She wore a skirt of the most
beautiful silver and above that skirt she wore nothing else. Her eyes were of a shade of copper the
likes of which Jin had never seen before and her you-ki glowed in the most vibrant purple flame.
She was most powerful indeed, but there was something about her that made appear gentle, as
though she were any other wandering maiden.
She took the wind master's hand in hers and looked upon him with brilliant eyes and Jin
could feel her power over taking him. But still he did not pull back. She was reaching into him,
extracting from him what she could not take with words. Her mind probed his and yet relayed to
him a sense of calm. Then she spoke, her words melting and transforming from her language to his.
"Kilaka no sin daiona....desuno ma youkai....do not fear little demon for I am hear. I shall tell them
your story."
"Well that's a relief!"
"Chitou sa ni....and then you shall die...."

Finally chapter 2 is D-O-N-E, DONE! I apologize to everyone for having it take me this long to
write it, gomen - nasai! But now that it's here, I hope you all enjoyed it. I'll try to set off the next
chapter as fast as I can, but that too might take a while. But for those of you who are in this for the
long run, please don't be mad. It's PATIENT people like you would give me the strength to keep
going. I hope to hear from you all soon. And please, don't lose faith in the_sixth_shinobi. See you
all at chapter 3!
