"In this town, everybody scream, in our town of Halloween. I am the one hiding under your bed,
teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red. I am the one hiding under your stairs, fingers like
snakes and spiders in my hair. I am the clown with the tear away face, here in a flash and gone
without a trace! I am the doom to all who stare, I am the wind blowing through your hair. I am
the shadow on the moon at night, filling your dreams to the brim with fright. In this town, we
call home, everyone hail to the pumpkin song. . ." Yes and you'd better hail. . .I hear those
pumpkins can get mighty angry. Ya know, just thought I'd warn ya seeing as how I'd hate for
any of my loyal fans to get hurt. Well, on with chapter 4! ENJOY! :)
P.S. If anyone can identify what movie that quote comes from, I'll give them a special prize in
chapter 5.
I do not own jin and touya nor yu yu hakusho (I AM THE PUMPKIN KING!)
##############################################################################
Touya could no longer deny the tortured pains growing inside his chest and stomach.
Something of tremendous consequence had just happened involving Jin and the ice master knew
it with absolute certainty. After so many years together as shinobi partners, the two youkai had
developed a strong connection to one another, able to feel and sense what the other was doing at
any given moment. And now Touya knew that the wind master had done something so vile that
he would always live to regret it. I HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE. He thought to himself.
JIN NEEDS ME. He looked across the room. There, snoring rather loudly, The Beautiful
Sazuka lay asleep dreaming of what would perhaps be his next conquest. BUT HOW DO I GET
PAST HIM? HE NEVER LETS ME OUT OF HIS SIGHT. I'M TOO WEAK TO FIGHT HIM
DIRECTLY, AND HE'D NEVER ALLOW ME TO LEAVE OF MY OWN ACCORD. EVEN
IF I LEFT NOW, HE'D STILL BE ABLE TO SENSE THAT MY YOU-KI HAD
DISAPPEARED AND WOULD PROBABLY COME AFTER ME BEFORE I WAS EVEN
OUT THE DOOR. THERE'S JUST NO WAY. . .UNLESS. He gazed down at his bed.
UNLESS PART OF ME DOESN'T LEAVE. . .
!#$%&()
Jin sat awake, keeping an ever watchful eye on the fallen fox demon. He had not done
what he had out of malice or hate only out of concern and love for his long time friend and the
new acquaintances he now had, and he hoped desperately that Kurama would understand. That
Yoko was truly a magnificent creature. He had been born into a life of thievery, betrayal, and
promiscuity and yet was able to change all that and enter into a life with friends, trust, and but a
single lover with which to spend the rest of his days. Yes indeed, Yoko Kurama had come a long
way. . .or had he? Despite everything the wind master believed about Kurama, the facts were
still there. Everything Supika had said seemed to fit perfectly into place, all of it made sense.
But could Kurama really betray his friends like that? AND WHY NOT, Jin thought, I HAVE.
The red haired demon looked up at the night sky. Somehow the stars lacked their normal
luster and seemed dull and worn, as though the millions of eyes who looked upon them were
making them begin to fade. But Jin knew of one youkai who could not see them, and it was for
him that he was doing this. It would only be a matter of time before Hiei found them, and the
wind master had to be prepared for what was coming. The fire demon would no doubt be angry
with Jin for having done what he did, but there was no way of telling how much so. He might
even go as far as trying to kill him and the wind master knew he deserved it. But if a fight did
break out between he and Hiei, would that then mean he would have to harm the fire demon as
well? Could he kill him if it ment protecting his beloved Touya? He hadn't been able to bring
himself to kill Kurama, but in the heat of battle could he say the same for Hiei? There were
entirely too many questions that remained unanswered and there was only one demon who would
be able to answer them all. And soon. . .very soon. . .he would come.
!#$%&()
All that could be seen of the fire demon were distorted patches of black as he moved with
blinding speed from one area to another. His fox had been kidnaped, maybe even harmed by the
same bastard youkai they had taken into their home and that was something that Hiei could not
stand for. It was one thing to bare a grudge and then seek your revenge accordingly, it was
another thing to perceive other people's kindness as weakness and then abuse their trust. That
was the cowards way out. I KNOW IT WAS YOU WHO DID THIS JIN AND WHEN I FIND
YOU I PROMISE THAT ALL THAT WILL BE LEFT OF YOU WILL BE THAT STUPID
LITTLE HORN OF YOURS. The fire demon continued on, clutching in his right fist the silver
hair of his lover and in his left, another hair he had found at the scene. Red hair. . .hair that
looked like fire when the sun shone upon it. . .
!#$%&()
The next morning, Sazuka awoke in an almost daze like state. He rubbed his eyes,
yawned loudly, and then proceeded to get out of bed and walk over to the bed of his guest.
"Touya, time to get up, I told you we had something VERY important to do today." The blankets
did not stir nor did the ice master make any noise to show that he was indeed awake. To this,
The Beautiful Sazuka reached down and shook the youkai gently. "Come ON Touya, we have to
get moving." Still there was no reply. "That's it then, you leave me no choice. I just hope you
don't sleep in the nude." Again he reached down, only this time, he grabbed the covers and
pulled them completely off the sleeping youkai's body. "RISE AND SHINE TOU. . .huh?" The
ice master looked so still, his face frozen in a calm expression. And indeed it was frozen, for as
Sazuka realized, this was NOT Touya, but an exact copy of him made from the most perfect ice.
"But. . .how? I would have known he had left. His you-ki would have. . .unless he. . .no.
DAMN HIM, DAMN HIM, DAMN HIM, DAMN HIM! How could he have had that much
strength left?! I thought I had drained him but he must have been much stronger then I had
anticipated, that he could transfer it into this. . .thing!" A smile crossed his lips. "But no matter.
He has given up the last of his you-ki making him completely powerless. If something should
happen to attack him now, it would be all over for him. Not even all his shinobi training would
be enough to protect him if say an A class demon were to find him, and that would mean his
demise. Then his soul would be free for the taking!" Then Sazuka's laugh came forth, bellowing
far into the hallows of the makai. Nothing would stand in his way and even with the ice master
gone, everything was going exactly as planned. . .

Well, there you are everyone. Another fine chapter if I do say so myself. I can't believe how
quickly I wrote this one! I must be getting back into my grove. Can you believe that Touya
escaped? But now he's running without any powers. . .hmmm. . .what will happen? Ya know,
looking back on it, I shouldn't have let him escape. Now I have 4 separate stories to write, Hiei's
Jin and Kurama's, Sazuka's, and now Touya's! Plus anyone else I might decide to throw in the
mix! Oh well, I do it to myself. But I'm happy to, if it means all of you will read and, of course,
review. That's all for now. See ya at chapter 5, where the action is gonna be hot hot hot! :)
