Twisted Soul: To be or not to be
By Chiba Miaka
This is a long (hella long) Yu Yu Hakusho arc that takes place during and after the Makai Tournament. I've added a few changes. The major one is the new character, Toguro Sanae. She met Yusuke during the Ankoku Bujutsukai, while she was looking for her mother who she hadn't seen since she was one. Unfortunately, they met under strenuous circumstances. It turns out that Sanae is the secreted daughter of Toguro and Genkai, born right before the original Ankoku Bujutsukai. Yes, that means she is like 50-something, but due to a situation similar to Yusuke's, she has demon blood, which causes her body to age very slowly (she looks and sometimes acts like a 16 yr. old girl). It turns out that Toguro wanted to pass his own dream down to his daughter, and if he had won the tournament, he would've asked that his daughter be turned into a full youkai. Anyway, Sanae was tracking her mother's energy and found her, just in time to watch her father kill her. She met Yusuke then. She then decided to leave to train and mourn. She never met any of the other four Reikai Tantei, and doesn't know her mother was resurrected by Koenma. Sanae inherited demon blood from her mother's side. Genkai did not know about it, and it turns out the youkai that really mothered Sanae has disappeared. No one knows what her demon blood can do, not even Sanae herself. And she looks like the young Genkai with midnight blue eyes.
Note: I use a lot of Japanese, being a Japanese student, so if you don't understand something, just email me at MiakachanSD@yahoo.com and I'll explain. I also constantly switch the spelling of Yusuke's name from that to Yuusuke. Eventually I'll choose which one I like better. I also spell Keiko as such and will never use the terrible Americanized spelling Kayko. *shudder*
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho cause if I did I'd be rich. Don't sue me cause I'm dirt poor and you won't get anything but tons of paper with crappy art and dirty clothes. (
Chapter 1: First Encounter
Yusuke looked around. The Makai Tournament turnout was amazing. He never imagined this many strong demons would come to test their strength. And of course, Yomi, Mukuro, Hiei and Kurama were there. Can't have a proper tournament without some of the most feared people in the three worlds. Yusuke smirked as he thought of his own plight, wanted dead by the most powerful being in the entire universe, Enma-daiou. It amused him what a little demon blood could do.
He was just about to walk over and greet the other two Reikai Tantei when a strangely familiar pale pink head caught his eye.
"Sou na..." he thought as he walked toward the 5 foot tall girl. "Sanae?! Is that you?!" The girl's ponytail whipped behind her as she quickly jerked her head.
"Yusuke! I figured you'd be here! Can't miss anything that has to do with fighting, huh? Typical boy," she grinned at the dark-haired half- youkai.
"Nope," Yusuke grinned back. He had been hoping to find her before to give her the information that her mother wasn't dead, but she had already broken through to Makai. When the girl wanted to be hidden, she was HIDDEN. "You know me, gotta keep the adrenaline running!"
Sanae laughed, a mellow laugh that reflected her true age, a trademark almost.
"So, did you enter the contest?"
"No, I didn't think I was ready, maybe if it was more like the Ankoku Bujutsukai..." she shrugged. "I've been doing more moping than training I think, or at least I moped while I trained...and anyway, I couldn't find a teacher because no one in the Makai will train a half ningen female without wanting something perverted in return..." Yusuke laughed. 'At least no half ningen female that looks as good as you,' he thought, then chastised himself for letting his mind drift from Keiko. "Yeah you're right, some youkai here are huge asses. But I've got someone in mind who will train you." "Really?! Who?" Yusuke smiled. "How about your own mother?" Sanae's eyes widened. "Mother is...alive? But...h-how?! I saw Father kill her! I watched it all! How can she come back? Unless..." Sanae looked up at Yusuke. Yusuke grinned again. "Yeah, I wished it as a prize for winning." Sanae couldn't hold back. She threw her arms around the boy in a great hug. "Thank you, THANK YOU!!!" A voice was heard behind them. A deep, hard, scolding, yet amusing tone. "Who the hell is making all that noise?" Sanae's eyes immediately widened. That voice, so beautiful, so calming, it was like music flowing in her ears and throughout her head. Her heart began beating quickly and her breath shortened. She swallowed hard to calm herself, and turned around to see the owner of the voice. "Yusuke, I hope you're not cheating on Keiko with a youkai already." Another voice, softer, higher pitched, a pretty alto sound. It didn't nearly as strong an impact, but it was beautiful nonetheless. "Oi, Kurama, it's not like that at all! She's just glad at something I said is all." Sanae turned fully around and saw two people. The first one was a youkai male just around her height, with a full head of spiky raven hair and a peculiar starburst that looked like it had been dyed white. He had tiny ruby red irises, which were strangely slanted in an intriguing way. The second one was much taller, taller than Yusuke, and he had a flaming mane of gorgeous soft hair, and piercing green eyes that revealed a hidden life. Both had slender, yet muscular builds and small waists. Both incredibly handsome, but the shorter one interested her much more. She smiled shyly at the two boys. "Kurama, Hiei, this is Sanae. She's um...well...she's...a friend," Yusuke decided to say, not knowing whether Sanae would want her past known by everybody. "Sanae, this is Kurama and that is Hiei." Kurama immediately smiled at her warmly and held his hand out. "Hello, Sanae, nice to meet you." Hiei seemed uninterested. He just nodded. "Hn." Sanae couldn't help staring at the shorter boy, Hiei. He stared back, looking a bit unnerved. "Hi..." she said, then blushed a deep red. Yusuke looked at her strangely, wondering why she didn't have the same reaction when she first met him. 'Must be nuts over Kurama already. I mean I know he's got charm, really good hair and a cool personality but sheesh, he looks like a girl!' "So, have you entered the contest?" Kurama asked. The sound of his voice broke the spell Hiei's gaze had on her. "Oh, uh, no. I don't think I'm strong enough yet," she felt embarrassed talking around Hiei... Hiei walked directly up to her and leaned very close to her face, trying to sense her energy levels. Her now bright, hot, glowing, red face. She leaned backward, trying to calm herself down, but he was so close, his aura enveloped her body. She felt her body heat rise, along with her reiki. Or youki, she wasn't always sure which one she was using. Hiei's nose twitched slightly; he backed up and stared at her with a raised eyebrow. So were Yusuke and Kurama. And just about everybody else in the room. Since Hiei wasn't as close, her muscles loosened a bit, but she was still very red. "What?" she asked the crowd rather sheepishly. She felt her body cool down a bit, and her reiki level plummeted. 'Good,' she thought. 'At least now I'm a bit more normal.' Most of the demons looking at her frowned, thinking they had been mistaken, but little did they know... "What was that?" Yusuke asked Sanae. "What was what?" she replied. Kurama answered. "With youki like that you are more than powerful enough to be in the tournament." Sanae blinked. "I don't really use youki at all, how could it be strong? And what are you talking about?"
"Your youki flared up right when Hiei was in your face. And I mean flared UP. Like sky high. Like S-class demon high," Yusuke told her.
Hiei continued to look disturbed. He felt like she was playing a joke on them, that she was not who they thought she was. How else could her energy raise so high in such a short time? Something was up, and he didn't like the way it looked.
Hiei pulled Yusuke aside. "Are you sure she is who she says she is?"
Yusuke looked at his friend skeptically. "Pretty sure, why?"
"Something is up, that's all..." Yusuke laughed. "Hiei, you've gotten so damn paranoid! I think you need to take a break from that hellhole Mukuro shoves you in..."
Hiei's eyes narrowed. He didn't like to be ridiculed...and he didn't like to be tricked by some girl feigning weakness. He was going to find out her story...one way or another... Meanwhile Yusuke and Kurama snickered to each other knowingly...
TBC... Yes, I know it's cruel to leave it here, but I wanna know how you feel now so I know whether to write more or not. All feedback is welcome! Doomo arigatou gozaimasu!
