------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yusuke: Well, no sense in wasting time. (Turns to the Assassin). Time to get messy.

Assassin: Idiot, you are nothing.

Yusuke: You are gonna find out real fast that I'm more of a challenge then him.(points to Hiei) I'm gonna pound you so good there won't even be a puddle of blood left behind.

Assassin (laughs evily): You can't hurt me.

Yusuke: Bull shit.

Assassin: I think I should tell you my little secret. I am the one who is attacking that girl's head. If you kill me she'll die too.

Yusuke: You're lying. I don't believe you!!(Fires shot at the Assassin who lets it hit him.)

Yusuke feels a sharp pain in his left side as the Assassin is bleeding out of his side. Suddenly Keiko screams like a truck ran her over.

Yusuke: KEIKO!!!

Assassin: See, I told you it's pointless. Maybe if you did kill me then the girl would live and maybe she wouldn't. Are you going to take that chance.

Yusuke: Yes.(Yusuke transmits all of his spirit energy to his whole hand.)

Assassin: So you will kill me and see if the girl lives.

Yusuke: That's right. Keiko won't die if you do, I know you're lying. I can see it in your eyes. I'm gonna blast you out of this universe if it's the last thing that I do.

Assassin: I assure you. It will be.

Yusuke: SPIRIT GUN!!!

It heads for the Assassin head on. Yusuke is using every ounce of strength in him for this one shot. He clears trees, houses, businesses, streets, & mountains. As the smoke clears there is nothing in the path which he made.

Yusuke: Hee, told you so.

There is a laugh so high pitched and cold the hair on the back of his neck stands up.

Assassin: Actually, not really. Nice shot though, really impressive distance.

Yusuke: Damn-it, how did you dodge that? I took out the whole army and you were right in the middle of them.

Assassin: You don't get it. I can't be defeated. Not as long as I can feed off the power of the Jewel Carrier.

Yusuke: Bastard.

Assassin: To each his own I guess.(He shrugs, grins and gives Yusuke the Evil Stare.)

Suddenly the Assassin is on top of Yusuke, punching the life out of him. Yusuke used all of his energy in that one shot. He can't defend himself at all.

Meanwhile, inside.

Genkai: Something must have happened to Yusuke when she screamed.

Botan: What are we going to do? I don't think she can take much more of this.

Yukina: My powers are returning but I don't think I can do anything to help her.

Genkai: She's going to have to be as stubborn as Yusuke to fight off what's inside her. She is her only weapon.

Botan: You honestly think that she can fight off demons Genkai?!? I mean, she's never done anything like it, she'll have to learn everything Yusuke did by herself and unconcious.

Genkai: I didn't say it would be easy.

Yukina: I just hate to see her suffer like this.

Keiko screams again.

Outside...

The Assassin is polverising Yusuke to death.

Assassin: Did you know that she can see me killing you? That she is looking through my eyes and seeing you die. I am telling her that if she surrenders to us I will spare her life, and yet she won't. What does that tell you? She doesn't really love you I guess. You were just a problem and she would rather see you die than give herself up.

Yusuke: LIER!!

Yusuke throws a right jab at the Assassin's face. Direct hit. Then he hears Keiko scream again.

Assassin: You've.... drawn..... blood.

Shinato: Assassin, are you alright??

Assassin: Now you will die.

Inside..

Keiko sits straight up and suddenly..

Keiko(screams her loudest): YUSUKE!!!!

Keiko flies to the door, rips it open just in time to see Yusuke fall back on the ground with the Assassin beating on him like there's no tomorrow. The Assassin rises into the air and prepares to fire his shot as Keiko runs toward Yusuke.

Assassin: Meet your maker.

Keiko shoves Yusuke out of the way just in time to save his life. As Yusuke hits a tree, he sees Keiko become engulfed by the blinding light.

Yusuke: KEIKO!! NO!!

Shinato: You fool, now's she's dead and the jewel with her!

Yusuke: Shut-up.

Keiko is lying there and seems to be dead. Her face is wet with tears. Then she speaks.

Keiko: I'll go with you, as long as you don't harm any of my friends.

Yusuke: Keiko, don't be stupid. Don't kill yourself for me.

Keiko: You would have for me.

Yusuke sits there stunned. Then he crawls over to Keiko and holds her in his arms.

Yusuke: There's just no arguing with you when you've made up your mind.

Genkai, Botan, and Yukina come running out.

All: Keiko!!

Then the demons from the Unknown World appear.

Shinato: What do you want?

Demon: Our prize.

Shinato: Away, we have earned her.

Demon whispers something to his partner.

Demon: Perhaps you forgot who I am. I am Hasakie. This is my brother, Naserui.

Shinato: I remember you. But we have claimed her already as our prize.

Hasakie: We aren't going to waste time fighting are we? When we already know we shall win.

Shinato: Away with you.

Just then, Naserui walks up to Hiei and places his wrist on Hiei's bare back. A seal appears and Hiei wakes.

Naserui: Now, servant, go and stand by your army.

Kurama: Hiei!?! Don't..

Hiei walks obediently to the army.

Kuwabara: I knew he would side with them!! Just because they have so much power.

Hasakie: Do really want to fight us for what will already be ours.

Shinato: I will die before you take that jewel.

Hasakie: That can be arranged.

Hasakie whistles and five warriors charge for Shinato.

Kurama: Aiyka!! ROSE WHIP.

Kurama slices the demons in two.

Shinato looks at Kurama with the look of the question why on her face.

Assassin: Your highness!!

The Assassin is then vaporized. The princess is all alone. No army to protect her. Nothing.

Shinato: Help me.

Kurama: Aiyka, snap out of it and come to your senses. Your name is not Shinato.

Shinato: Yes it is........nooooooooo.

Suddenly it seems as Shinato has just woken up. She falls from the sky into Kurama's waiting arms.

Aiyka: Kurama, I'm sorry.

Kurama: You don't have to be.

Hasakie: Isn't that touching, the princess remembered who she was. Oh well, score for the Dark Realm. Brother, collect all of the girls, including her highness. And you heard the Jewel Carrier, don't harm anyone or we'll have our hands full. Hiei, why don't you help by collecting the princess and the Ice Apparition.

Hiei does so.

Kurama: No Hiei. Stop!!

Hasakie: You'll have to kill him to stop him. Would you really kill your friend?

Kurama is speechless and in a matter of seconds Aiyka is ripped from his arms. The other girls are chained together and are knocked unconcious. Keiko is still in Yusuke's arms.

Yusuke: Keiko(he says as he gently rocks her back and forth) Keiko, you can wake up now. Thanks for saving me but we have to go. Get up Keiko.

Hasakie: Obviously that boy has gone mad. Naserui, get the Jewel carrier.

Naserui: Yes brother.

Yusuke: Don't you dare touch her. I swore that I would protect her no matter what and that's just what I'm gonna do.

Kuwabara: Me too. You stole Yukina already and there was nothing I could do but I won't let you take anyone else if I can help it.

Kurama: I will fight as well, whether I must fight Hiei or not.

Naserui: There will be no more battles here. We now have the girl.

All: What?

They look down as Keiko disappears from Yusuke's arms.

Yusuke: KEIKO!

Hasakie: Let's go. And brother, remind me to get Hiei a cloak.

Naserui: Of course.

Then a long, dark tunnel appears and they disappear down it. Yusuke runs after them and is suddenly blown back by the emense pressure. Then, the tunnel is gone.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Ooooo, what now. How could things get any worse, I mean first Yusuke loses to the Assassin, then Keiko nearly dies trying to save him. If that's not bad enough now all the girls have been kidnaped and Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara can't there, Hiei has betrayed them and Yusuke doesn't have any Spirit Energy left! Wow, things are not looking good, especially since now the Dark Realm has the Jewel to begin with. Now that they have all four will they rule over all the worlds for eternity? Why would the demons from the Dark Realm not take the cloak that Hiei already had? Could it help the others? Oh, and I bet you weren't expecting two betrayals!! Hiei and Shinato betrayed their sides. I guess you'll have to read the next chapter and find out.
