Sanena: Well, for anyone who read it all, I hope you liked it, and will like the second one. Please leave a review of what you think.
Kachada: I'm going to give spoilers...
Maku walked into an old, abandonedwarehouse.
"I don't have a good feeling..."
A monster growled, approaching Maku...
Kachada: That's all the spoiler I'm giving. P.S. We need over15 reviews for the second story to come out sooner, got it?
"This is Life... The End"
Maku flew as fast as he could to the hospital, in order to re-possess his own rightful body.
"Hey Maku!" Yusuke called but Maku was already past him.
Sai looked at Yusuke. "I just better... go find something to do for the next millenium."
Yusuke stared at Sai again.
"Let's just go check up on Maku."
Maku possessed his body...
...then slowly and painfully transformed, because he unknowingly activated the poison Risho gave him, which was affecting his blood now.
Maku's mouth grew bigger and began to look like the mouth of an ape; purple fur bristled all over his body, and muscles pumped up, making his body grow and get really huge now, ripping all his clothes to shreds; the white in his eyes became black and his iris became a gleaming red, the size of his eyes grew too, like they would pop at any given moment.
"Whoa!" Yusuke shouted when he came through the wall, with Sai, to see the monster on Maku's bed.
"Huh?" Sai stared in thought.
"Argh..." Monster Maku growled and jumped forward, kicking through Yusuke and Sai, and lept out the window, breaking it and ignoring the pain of the glass which cut him because it didn't hurt him at all.
Yusuke and Sai ignored the frightened doctors and nurses who came in after hearing the commotion, while Yusuke then possessed his body after saying a quick, hurried goodbye to Sai.
The sick doctor looked at Yusuke's body, which sat up.
"If that monster ate Shinomuto, why did he not eat Urameshi?" A doctor asked, trying to make sense.
"Love to stay and chat, but I gotta go!" Yusuke jumped out of bed (and luckily he was wearing normal day clothes instead of a johnny coat) then he charged past them and jumped out the window, landing onto the grass below.
"Aw man! I forgot shoes!" Yusuke whined as his feet were in glass, and he fell over onto his side in pain.
Yusuke screamed louder as his side fell into the glass, cutting him deeper.
Sai looked at Yusuke. "Ow..."
Fox and Ubel were still running to the hospital when Monster Maku ran to them, and picked up Fox by the shirt in his mouth, then chewed on it for a second then tossed Fox aside, and ran over really quickly.
Fox stared at Ubel, who was shocked, then at Monster Maku. "I'm following it."
Fox turned around and started chasing the monster.
"But Risho's that way..." Ubel whined, but followed his friend anyway.
The sick doctor walked into Kurama's room to check up, because of the monster.
Kurama had already healed Shi, who was still on the bed, while he and Hiei stood at the bedside.
"Kurama, I can't believe you're doing this when you're sick, and you even invited a friend to have threeway!" The sick doctor looked like he was going to throw up.
"How did you know my real name?" Kurama walked over in front of the doctor with a very serious and deadly look in his emerald eyes, which were narrowed at the sick doctor.
"I guessed?" The sick doctor said weakly.
"I don't believe you." Kurama said, pulling out a rose from the back of his neck from under his red hair.
"Do you always keep that there? Because we found marks on your neck from the thorns of that rose." The sick doctor continued after his question.
"Show your true self!" Kurama made his rose whip, and was holding it in both hands, staring dangerously at the sick doctor.
"This is my true self! I have no others." The doctor protested.
"What's going on?" Shi asked confused, looking at Hiei, whom she stood up next to.
Hiei didn't answer, but was watching Kurama threatening the sick doctor.
"I felt a menacing force... was that you?" Kurama asked quietly, stepping forward, readying his whip.
"It was probably... the monster." The sick doctor slowly finished.
"What monster?" Kurama demanded.
"The monster who apparently ate Maku." The doctor told him, and Shi ran over to the doctor.
"What!" Shi asked shocked.
"An ape-like demon... was sitting on Maku's bed, then jumped out the window." The sick doctor told her, and she didn't wait to answer, Shi went to the window, jumped out onto the tree branch, and quickly made her way down to the ground, then ran off.
Hiei also left, following Shi, but no one saw this, and now, Kurama was left with the sick doctor.
"But it didn't eat Maku, because there's no blood or anything in the room, only shredded clothes." The sick doctor said, looking at Kurama.
"But... where did it go? And what of Yusuke Urameshi?" Kurama asked, withdrawing his whip slowly.
"Well, by the shredded clothes... Maku probably transformed into it, either that, or he wanted to be naked and didn't know how to take it off." The sick doctor was talking about the johnny coat Maku had been wearing.
"Did you poison Maku?" Kurama asked, still looking dangerous.
"Me? Poison him? No way!" The sick doctor said offended, then he sneezed.
"What about Yusuke?" Kurama asked again.
"He jumped out the window, and cut his foot with glass." The sick doctor answered, and Kurama's eyes widened.
"Do you know where it went?" Kurama asked, moving his way over to the window.
"Where it went? You'd have to ask him that yourself." The doctor said, shrugging.
"Are you a demon? Tell me your name." Kurama commanded, turning back to the doctor, who was still at the doorway.
"My name is Shinzaburo Shijo." The doctor said his first name last as he was Japanese. "AND I am NOT a demon."
"Then how did you know my name was Kurama?"
"I've met demons..." Shijo fixed his glasses, and Kurama narrowed his eyes, looking at the floor.
"Well, at least I have no trouble anymore... right now." Risho stretched, and looked around, noticing a little boy standing in front of him.
"I wetted my pants because of that." The little boy pointed at Monster Maku running at them, then the little kid ran off crying.
Risho turned.
"What the f... is that thing!" Risho made a wall rise up from the ground, trying to block the monster.
The wall crumbled as the monster broke it through with his head first, then he continued charging at Risho.
"What the f... is it!" Risho shouted, backing up.
The monster growled furiously and attacked Risho, knocking him down painfully.
Risho swore, punching the beast... but nothing happened, and the monster continued chewing Risho's entire leg, while making this hideous giggling sound.
Fox and Ubel arrive on scene, then they quickly hid behind crates, peeking over the top at the monster eating most of Risho.
"I'm getting a picture so the police will believe me." Fox pulled out a camera, and took a picture with the flash off.
"I don't think..." Ubel was interrupted by Fox.
"Hey, you're a demon!" Fox exclaimed, remembering what he had been thinking in the last chapter.
"Yeah?" Ubel asked. "I'm a demon. So are you."
Fox looked at Ubel, confused.
Ubel looked back to the monster and Risho. "But I'm not an evil demon... like Risho..."
'Hmm... I'm a demon? Uh, I think he's confused...' Fox thought to himself.
Shi stopped running when she got to the block corner of the hospital.
"How the heck am I supposed to find a stupid monster? Wouldn't they stand out? And wouldn't people be freaking out?" Shi asked outloud, looking around.
Everyone around were going along casually, like nothing happened of the unusual.
Shi's eyes widened as a smoking hippie with a beer bottle in one hand, and a baby cow chained to his left foot.
Hiei was about to go over to Shi when Seventeen landed from the sky next to her.
"Che..." Hiei mumbled, backing up, then fading and reappearing up on a tree, watching.
"Hi honey." Seventeen said to Shi, while staring over at the hippie.
"Hey!" Shi looked at Seventeen, pointing at him. "You're unfused now."
"Uh, yeah." Seventeen wasn't Super 17 anymore, because the fusing potion he drank with Hellfighter 17 - his clone, wore off.
(If you watch Dragonball Z/GT you will understand, so don't ask... but the fusing potion thing we made up.)
"Hey baby..." The hippie smiled stupidly up at Seventeen, thinking he was a girl because of his chin-length black hair.
"I'm a guy." Seventeen told him offended, and Shi was disgusted.
"I wasn't talking to you..." The hippie drunkly said, and grabbed Shi's bosom, then pulled the cow over, then was standing on it.
"You jerk!" Shi punched his face, then backed up behind Seventeen.
Seventeen was really mad now, so he was able to punch the hippie when the hippie used the baby cow as a shield.
"What are you? A pile of che which she can hide behind? I can kick through che all I want... che, che, che." The hippie swore in Japanese at Seventeen.
"Seventeen, do something." Shi whimpered, grabbing Seventeen's arm.
Seventeen picked Shi up, and she hugged him around the neck, afraid of the hippie and upset about the baby cow.
"A.sh.le!"-(censered swear) The creep jumped and kicked his brother, the hippie.
"Ow, you b.st.rd, why'd you kick me!" The hippie snapped at his brother.
"Sorry..." The creep said. "But she helped me..."
(This is the creep who bothered Fox, blew up the Urameshi's house, and was given pizza by Shi, which he shared with his brother.)
"She got us pizza." The hippie turned to Shi, understanding his brother. "I'm so thankful..."
"Wha?" Shi gasped, looking up at Seventeen to see his face, and he looked very stern and mad with his ice blue eyes glaring at the hippie.
"You still hurt the baby cow." Seventeen pointed out angrily.
"What?" The hippie asked.
"I said YOU HURT THE COW!" Seventeen snapped at him.
"So?"
"That's not right." Seventeen said still mad.
"What are you, my daddy!" The hippie snapped.
"You monster!" Shi cried with tears forming at the corners of her eyes.
The hippie said too vulgar, then laughed, and Seventeen put his gun against the hippie's neck.
"Free the cow now." Seventeen demanded seriously.
The hippie fell over, and began to slowly die because his brother shot him.
"He deserved to die." The creep said, freeing the baby cow.
"CALL AN AMBULANCE!" A man shouted from across the street.
"People like you should go to jail." Seventeen pointed his gun at the creep.
"Here's the baby cow." The creep held the calf out at Seventeen and Shi. "Because I have no idea how to take care of it..."
"We don't know how to take care of cows either." Seventeen pointed out, putting his gun back in it's hostler.
"The poor baby..." Shi took the calf into her arms, with tears that fell onto the little baby's fur, as she gently rocked it.
A wall came up right under the monster, lifting him up with Risho hanging from his jaws.
Monster Maku growled, and Risho, hanging upside down, crossed his arms.
Monster Maku pulled him up, putting Risho under him while he jumped up to sit on Risho, then the monster whimpered.
Risho looked up at the monster, who then kicked him off the pillor, growling.
"Ahhhh!" Risho hit the ground with a thud.
"I get what he is now - a demon out of control!" Risho exclaimed, looking up at the monster, which jumped down while throwing rocks onto Risho.
The monster grabbed Risho and threw him far into the window of a store which had TVs in the window, which broke when Risho landed.
"Stop it right there!" Kurama shouted to the monster, who ignored Kurama and Shijo who just arrived there.
"Maku!" Kurama yelled at the monster, who was picking up Risho - who didn't run because he couldn't as his leg was too injured.
"Shijo, now what?" Kurama asked the doctor, glaring at the monster.
"C'mon!" Shijo said, and led Kurama into a store.
Shijo grabbed a gun, and some darts. "We tranquilize him."
"Hey you!" The storeowner walked over to Shijo and Kurama.
"I'll put that onto my credit card." Shijo gave him the credit card. "Keep it until I get back."
The storeowner was confused, holding the credit card, staring after Shijo and Kurama who ran out of the store.
Risho swore at the monster while in pain.
The monster growled, mocking him and pointing at him.
"Oh, now that's not nice." Risho crossed his arms, glaring at the monster.
The monster picked up Risho and was biting his shoulder, then he got shot releasing Risho from his jaws.
"Oh, you freaks." The monster growled and started at Shijo, who shot him with the dart and Kurama, then he collapsed halfway there.
Shijo looked at Kurama. "He should turn to Maku soon... we should bring him to his family..."
They both looked back over, and were surprised to see a naked Maku laying on the ground.
A few weeks later...
Doctors took blood samples from Maku, and the only thing they came up with was the poison that was in his blood, and so now, Maku was finally back at home about to celebrate his 14th birthday.
Even Yusuke recovered well, and him and his mother, Atsuko were still living at the Shinomutos.
February 12th... Maku's Birthday...
"Hey Urameshi!" Kuwabara crashed into the room.
"Hey shut up!" Yusuke said to him, from where he was sitting on the couch.
"Man, Kuwabara's loud." Sai said, he was still a spirit but Yusuke could see him and hear just then.
"Hmph... Fine. But I have something important to say!" Kuwabara jumped onto the couch next to Yusuke.
"Can't be more important then a guy's birthday." Yusuke said just as Kurama and Hiei came in.
"But... it's about a dream that knocked me out last month, remember?" Kuwabara asked.
"Yeah, just skip to the important part." Yusuke shook his hand at Kuwabara, who glared at him.
"Okay... there was a big nosed guy who had very powerful demonic spirit energy..." Kuwabara told Yusuke.
"Was his nose bigger then Ganondorf's?" Yusuke asked, thinking of The Legend of Zelda.
"Hey! I'm serious!" Kuwabara stood up, insulted, crossing his arms.
"Well, where's Maku?" Kurama asked, leaning his crossed arms onto the back of the couch, looking at Yusuke.
"In his room." Yusuke answered.
"I'm interested where Shi is." Hiei said all of a sudden.
Kurama just stared at him.
"Who is this she?" Yusuke asked, looking over the back of the couch at Hiei.
"Wait... does Hiei have a girlfriend?" Kuwabara asked, looking around.
"Oh Tortus, mind your own business!" Akifuru hit him with the newspaper.
"Yes, Grandma!" Kuwabara whimpered, holding his head, while Akifuru sat back down in her rocking chair, and continued reading the newspaper.
Shi entered the room, and looked around at them. "Hmm..." She bit her lower lip, and looked back into the front room.
"Hi Shi." Hiei said softly, just as Shi asked:
"Where's Seventeen?"
"Right here, honey!" Seventeen grabbed her around the waist from behind.
"Never mind..." Hiei mumbled, looking down.
"Oh, there you are. Now, I need you to help me with something." Shi gently pushed him, and walked into the front room.
"You need me to help you with something?" Seventeen asked, following her.
Kuwabara opened his mouth to speak, when Akifuru (who wasn't even looking at him) said:
"Oh Tortus, be quiet."
Kuwabara glared at her, but kept quiet anyway.
"Don't glare." Akifuru said as she hit him off the head with the newspaper, then sat back down.
A few hours later...
"Happy Birthday to Maku... Happy Birthday to Maku... Happy Birthday to Maku." Erik, Mikiko, Atsuko, Yusuke, Kurama and Kuwabara were the only ones singing, because no one else would.
"Can I just open my gifts now?" Maku asked impatiently.
"Hmm... Okay." Erik said.
"And we have a special gift for later when you open all the others." Mikiko told her youngest son, kissing his cheek. "Happy Birthday, sweetie."
The party went on as Maku opened each gift, and everyone was talking with each another.
Finally, after the party ended...
"Well, get your coats. We're going to the yard for your surprise." Erik said.
Maku instantly thinks he's going to get a car, even if he was a little young now.
Outside in the Shinomutos' yard.
Music started playing once everyone was out there.
A stage was set up with a band on it, the lead singer was a white-skinned man with long red hair, wearing weird blue webbed makeup, with cool rock-and-roll clothes on, with a guiter, and he started singing:
'Got a sing song, man it goes like this
So when the time was right
Could've beengone in ten
This world is hard to fight
Beating your ways, hit it again
You know the way it feels
Everyone gets knocked down
When you get up it's real
Taking it back, turn it around
Get on it, up on it, get on it
Wouldn't wanna be you
Get on it, up on it, get on it
Never gonna be you
You know when you're keeping it slow
Better where you're gonna go
Wouldn't wanna be you
Get on it, up on it
It's over when you're living in chaos
Somewhere along the line
Things get chipped away
This place keeps going down
Getting worse every day
I see the hate and greed
This world's messed up town
Release the pain and see
Taking in back, turn it around
Get on it, up on it, get on it
Wouldn't wanna be you
Get on it, up on it, get on it
Never gonna be you
You know when you're keeping it slow
Better where you wanna go
Wouldn't wanna be you
Get on it, up on it It's over
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
Ya ya ya
Ya ya ya
Ya ya ya
Ya ya ya
Got a sing song and it goes like this
So when the time was right
Could've been gone in ten
This world is hard to fight
Beating your ways, hit it again
But you know the way it feels
Everyone gets knocked down
When you get up it's real
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
(Ya ya ya) Get on it, up on it, get on it
(Ya ya ya) Get on it, up on it, get on it
Never gonna be you
Get on it, up on it, get on it (Ya ya ya)'
When the song ended, the redhead man pulled out the plug on his guiter, and walked down the small stairway to the stage, saying 'Hey' to Mikiko and Erik, and was still holding his guiter, while he went over to stand in front of Maku, who was sitting on the bench with Hijo, Shi and Fox.
"He's really cute..." Shi whispered to Fox, smiling.
"I have a feeling you won't be saying that in a minute..." Fox said, and Shi just looked at him strangely, then they all looked at the redhead singer, who stood in front of Maku.
"Who are you?" Maku asked, looking up at him.
"It's me... your uncle Rando."
