There was blood everywhere. Demons were dead. Everywhere. Nowhere, any where, it was all the same. Always.

The villagers had come out, surprised to find carnage of more demons than humans, though they were intersperced. And, above it all, a single, weak boy.

The perfect target. The perfect ammo of the stone-paved road.

Yusuke Urameshi of the Reikai Tentei smiled with a slightly daft expression at the oncoming crowd.

"And how was your day today, folks?"

Their dead sons' souls were being carried by Botan as she ran to Koenma.

Yusuke turned from the crowd, ignoring their growing threat. He smiled slightly at the winding road over which the demons had come. Such a threat, he had to make sure they wouldn't return.

He had to stay here, for now. Until Koenma worked some deal…

He set his powers.

"Alrighty then, Fates! I'm talking to you! Use this bit of energy well!"

There was a snap as Yusuke's soul was cut from his body.
