Chapter 2
Keiko walked past the boys, waving goodbye, as Yusuke, Kurama, and Hiei started walking. Once they couldn't see Keiko anymore, they sighed. "Yusuke, that was not a very intellegent decision you made." Kurama said. "We know about your little night last night, as well as your last days here. Maybe you should have said goodbye to your best friend a little too instead of just Keiko."
"Yea, the dumbass will realize you are gone, he's not that stupid." Hiei snickered. "He may be stupid, but not stupid enough to realize when you've left him here."
"He'll have to deal with it. We won't be gone too long, so he won't realize it. I just have to make sure I write to Keiko enough." Yusuke laughed. "Kuwabara wouldn't last in Makai anyway. He picks fights with everyone he see's here, so what would happen if he started with some demons there?"
"You're right" Kurama said. "He has too much honor to permit us interfer with his fights anyway, just like when Toguro was going to kill him. We should be taking him there though."
"You call that honor? I call it foolish pride." Hiei said. "Hn. Giving Kuwabara honor would be like giving a me a knife and saying, 'Will you kill me already?'" Kurama and Yusuke laughed.
"Well, don't tell me you find shorty here that funny?" A voice said. They all looked in shock as A tall man with a very muscular body and carrot orange hair appeared. "Urameshi, how they hell could you leave me out of this! What the hell is wrong with you! I'm gonna kick your ass!" Kuwabara said, darting at him. As kuwabara was about to punch, Yusuke held out a finger and stopped it.
"Kuwabara, I'm saving you dumbass by not having you come. You can thank me later." Yusuke said.
"I'll beat your ass first. Hiei, Kurama... how about we make a deal. If I beat Urameshi's ass right now, I go in his place." Kurama and Hiei laughed.
"Agreed." They both said at the same time. Kuwabara started running towards Yusuke, fist out about to punch.
"I'll beat you so bad the kittens won't even want to look at you!" Kuwabara said. Yusuke yawned, and as Kuwabara attacked with a clenched fist. He punched, but yusuke moved out of the way last second, easily avoiding kuwabara's punch as Kuwabara fell flat on his face.
"I guess that settles it." Yusuke said. "See you soon Kuwabara." Kuwabara blushed, amazed at how fast Yusuke had gotten since their last fight. "Oh, by the way. Take care of Keiko while I'm gone... if she's been TOUCHED by anyone, I swear I'll kill you for this!"
"I'LL GET YOU URAMESHI!"
The three of them finally arrived at the Makai, leaving everything they had behind them. Once they entered this world, they were completely different people. A bunch of the demons walking by had recognized Kurama and Hiei from seeing them before, many of them glaring at Yusuke, but none of them actually approaching them. They all walked into a restaurant, in need of something to drink. A bunch of people looked at them, and a few started whispering to each other. Yusuke heard a conversation between two demons, "Isn't that kid Urameshi? He doesn't feel human to me. He seems more dangerous... I get the same feeling around him that I get around Raizen." Yusuke, confused, rubbed it off, thinking maybe Raizen was a tough guy that beat their sorry asses one time. They sat down at a table, ordering drinks.
"Yusuke, I don't understand why they aren't attacking you." Hiei said. "Anytime a human enters this place, demons attack them from far and wide." Yusuke looked at them, thinking back to what he just heard those demons say.
"Who's Raizen?" Yusuke asked, as Kurama and Hiei looked at him in a state of shock. He saw a bunch of demons look at him, giving him a dirty look and saying he was disrespectable for coming to the Makai.
"Raizen is the leader of the Makai, along with two other demons." Kurama started. "Many demons here disrespect him because all his decendants are half demon/half human. These such creatures possess human spirit energy, as well as demon, almost both parts as strong as a full form. After Raizen realized what danger he had put the population in after 3 generations or so, his fellow rulers had made it illegal and all half demon/half humans are to be exiled immediately, unless there is a special circumstance." Yusuke looked puzzled, and Kurama knew what his question would be. "The one circumstance is if they find the lost great grandchild of Raizen. This certain child woudln't have the complete circumstances of a half demon/half human according to legend, and I'm unsure the reason. But when Raizen passes, the child must take Raizen's place or else a tournament will be released to have a new raining family in the head." Yusuke nodded, now feeling a little embarassed of not knowing who the leaders of the Makai were.
"Yusuke... is in the Makai... How could this be?" A mysterious voice said. "Koenma informed me to be prepared to see him... maybe I should go call him... or maybe Koenma's people will bring him to me. He has to know what's going on before shit hits the fan."
"Would you care to meet Raizen?" Said Kurama, looking at him. "You seem to be very interested, and since I bet you are the only human in the Makai now, he'll give you a proper greeting." Yusuke nodded, and then looked around.
"Sure, why not meet the bastard. But before we take off I need to go take care of business." He got up, running towards a bathroom. Hiei smirked at Kurama, who took a sigh of relief.
"I don't like how this feels." Kurama said, looking around. "It's like sending him into a death trap, or a suicide attempt. Yusuke doesn't have the kind of honor we have, he would kill himself if need be, but he'd never let himself die in a battle. Why did Koenma have to ask us to do this? He knows we are Yusuke's friends."
Hiei looked at him, smirking. "Hn. Kurama if you had any balls what so ever, when you accepted this case you'd know that Yusuke isn't that much of an idiot. He is a stupid guy, but nothing compared to Kuwabara. Now, if this is Kuwabara we were dealing with, I'd understand your fear. But it's not, Yusuke would be able to handle it." Yusuke finally returned, seeing the worried look on Kurama's face.
"What I miss?" Yusuke said
"Oh, only Kurama being mistaken for a girl by some demon, nothing serious." Hiei said, smirking at kurama. Kurama returned a nasty look at Hiei for that comment.
"Well, lets be off!"
"Koenma... what did Kurama mean when he said a death trap?" I said, feeling very afraid that something might happen to the young spirit detective.
"You'll soon find out! I'm not done with the story yet Botan! Well... They walked all the way to Raizen's castle. All three of the rulers lived in different castles, which was a good thing in this case. Raizen sensed them coming, and went to welcome them at the door..."
"WELCOME TO MY PALACE!" Screamed the very excited Raizen. "COME ON IN AND JOIN US!" Yusuke, Kurama, and Hiei all looked at him, sweatdrop on the back of their heads. Raizen was a very tall man, very well built. Wore only a pair of pants, and had markings all over his chest. He had a very muscular body, and had very long, flowing blonde hair. It was never what Yusuke expected to see in his life. They cautiously walked in the big doors, that were opened wide when Raizen had sensed them coming, seeing many different types of demons doing errands.
"Damn, it feels like we're back in spirit world with the ogre stock market type thing." Yusuke said, dogging running demons. "Except these guys are a lot stupider and uglier." A demon stopped, glaring at him. Then, an alarm went off on his watch and he ran off elsewhere. "Poor guy."
They finally reached Raizen's main chamber, as he opened the door to them. It wasn't what they expected at all. They expected big, fancy thing with gold traced everywhere. It was big, but seemed kind of plain. It had white walls, a blue carpet on the ground, a desk, and a really big chair at the top of a flight of stairs that Raizen sat in. "Well, Yusuke Urameshi has finally returned to the Makai." Kurama and Hiei looked at him, very confused.
"Hn. Are you sure you have the right idiot Raizen?" Hiei said. "The way Yusuke reacted when he entered, he seemed as if he'd never seen this place before."
"That's because he wouldn't remember Hiei." Raizen started. "He was too young to remember."
"Hold on a second blondie." Yusuke started, as Kurama and Hiei looked at him as if he was insane, disrespecting a leader of the Makai. "I've never been to this place before. My mom wouldn't be able to bring me here because she's a drunk human, wouldn't even know that this place exists, and my dad is a scumbag who left my mom after he found out she was pregnant with me, so he's just an asshole human." Raizen looked at him in shock, walking over to him about to hit him in the face.
"NEVER TALK ABOUT YOUR FATHER LIKE THAT!" He said, punching Yusuke flat in the face.
"WHY NOT! THE JERK DESERVES IT!" Raizen shook his head, realizing that Yusuke had no idea about his father. "WHAT BLONDIE? NOT LIKE YOU WOULD KNOW BETTER OR NOT!"
"Yusuke... your father wasn't a son of a bitch like you're thinking." He turned from Yusuke, walking up the stairs back to his chair.
"Really, prove it why don't you!" He finally sat down, looking at the young man.
"Well, you shouldn't hate the guy. He saved your life, as well as your mothers. If anything, you should be thanking him." Yusuke was in shock, and he didn't understand.
"Don't lie to me Raizen, I don't get how you would know anyway."
"Yusuke, you don't understand how much it took to see you. He was the great grandson of the ruler here in the Makai. He went through the same situation I went through. He was a demon, and he was sick of being in the demon world, and he knew there was something waiting for him in the Ningenkai. He escaped one day and met a beautiful young woman who was in trouble on the street. Three men were attacking the girl, pulling her clothes off her body in the pouring rain, taking everything that she had, trying to rape her. Your father couldn't deal with seeing that, so he ran over and killed the three humans. He took her purse, and put it back in her hands. He helped her get her clothes back on, and took her to the place he was staying. He put a blanket around her, and he sat her infront of the fire place to warm her up. That night, the young woman and my great grandson fell in love. Yes, that's right. He was my great grandson." Yusuke looked at him, blushing.
"Sorry..." Was all he could say.
"They spent the next few days together, she showed him around town." He continued, ignoring Yusuke. "One night they went back to his place and they made love to each other, and that's how you were made. A few days after they did, he told her he had to leave her, and explained to her that he was actually a demon. She was devestated, and 3 months later she found out she was pregnant. I found out from my messanger from the Ningenkai. I told my son that he had to go back to her until the baby was born, and then he couldn't stay anymore, and that he would be allowed to visit once a month to see her and her child, so he could supply the family with food and everything. The other 2 demons who run this place didn't know about you or anything, and had no idea that my great grandson had snuck into the Ningenkai. I didn't know until he was missing after a few days." He stopped, starting to walk down the stairs.
"Well, moving on, you were born on a beautiful day in the spring, flowers everywhere, and your father was with you during your birth. He spent the first month of your life with you at home, got a job to make some money for you. Then, when you were one month old, he asked your mother if he could bring you to see me. She accepted and then you were snuck into the Makai. I remember how much you loved being here, you belonged so well. Everyone in your fathers family loved you, including me. Then, when you were on your way back to the Ningenkai, your father was killed trying to save your life. Atsuko was waiting for you at the place your father agreed to meet her, and when I found out that someone was attacking your father, I rushed down there, but he had already been killed, and the killer was on his way to kill you, when he saw me, and disappeared. I brought you back to Atsuko and she was devastated. That was the last and only time I had seen you, but you did in fact love Makai." Yusuke stood there in shock. All these years he thought his father was some bastard who had gotten what he wanted from his mother, and then left her alone to take care of his child on her own. "Yusuke... did you ever wonder why you were such an amazing fighter? Or how you were so easily able to reach to your spirit energy? It's because you are a half demon. When you're half demon, you can reach your human skills and your demon skills. Your fighting shows your demon skills, and how quick you move. No other real human could move as fast as you could. You got that from your father. You got your human energy and how to reach it from your mothers love. Did you realize how you were able to reach your greatest amount of spirit energy when you were upset or hurting? That's from the love your mother has for you, as well as your father. You are one of the only half demons ever created, and that power has to be used for good, and you're doing an amazing job with it." Yusuke looked at him in total shock, taking in all this information about himself, barely able to stand. Then, he crashed down to the floor.
'The man that I've hated for so many years... is actually my hero?' Yusuke thought to himself, in such a state of shock that he could barely move. He punched the floor, not making much of a difference in it since it was carpet. 'I'm... sorry dad... If I had known I wouldn't have said those things.'
Raizen kneeled down infront of him, looking at Yusuke. "Listen to me Yusuke. The reason you were brought here is because you must take over the throne. If you take over the throne, an old man like me can die in peace. If you don't, there will be a tournament, which any creature could take my place. I can't let that happen. If this power falls in the place of someone purely evil, then the Makai will be effected dearly. Yusuke, I give you time to think about this. If you refuse, you have a good chance of dying. Only four people know about you being a half demon. Me, Kurama, Hiei, and Koenma, maybe Botan if he shared that information with her yet, but I'm not sure about her." He stopped, thinking. "But if you don't take control, Koenma will be forced to kill you."
"KILL HIM! HOW THE HELL COULD YOU KILL YOUR OWN SPIRIT DETECTIVE! WHAT THE HELL IS RAIZEN THINKING!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.
"That's the reason I sent him there, because it's his only way to survive Botan! That's also the main reason why it was stupid of him to tell Keiko how he felt about her, because he might never be allowed to go back!"
"Listen, this has been a lot for you to handle for one day. Go back to the Ningenkai and think about all this. I'll expect you to be back in at least 2-3 months, if not sooner with your answer. If you refuse, I'll do the best I can to keep you alive by lying and saying the reason you came in here was because you killed a demon and I had to banish you from ever coming back or something. I'm not exactly sure if it'll work, because you haven't been attacked since everyone here felt your true demon side, and I bet my two co-rulers will feel it too." He grabbed Yusuke's arm, pulling him off the ground. "Don't be stupid, ok?"
Keiko walked past the boys, waving goodbye, as Yusuke, Kurama, and Hiei started walking. Once they couldn't see Keiko anymore, they sighed. "Yusuke, that was not a very intellegent decision you made." Kurama said. "We know about your little night last night, as well as your last days here. Maybe you should have said goodbye to your best friend a little too instead of just Keiko."

"Well, don't tell me you find shorty here that funny?" A voice said. They all looked in shock as A tall man with a very muscular body and carrot orange hair appeared. "Urameshi, how they hell could you leave me out of this! What the hell is wrong with you! I'm gonna kick your ass!" Kuwabara said, darting at him. As kuwabara was about to punch, Yusuke held out a finger and stopped it.
"Kuwabara, I'm saving you dumbass by not having you come. You can thank me later." Yusuke said.
"I'll beat your ass first. Hiei, Kurama... how about we make a deal. If I beat Urameshi's ass right now, I go in his place." Kurama and Hiei laughed.

"I guess that settles it." Yusuke said. "See you soon Kuwabara." Kuwabara blushed, amazed at how fast Yusuke had gotten since their last fight. "Oh, by the way. Take care of Keiko while I'm gone... if she's been TOUCHED by anyone, I swear I'll kill you for this!"
