-Chapter 12-

I DO NOT OWN YU YU HAKUSHO!!! NONE OF IT!

Welcome back to my story. I hope you are all enjoying it so far. A few twists are coming up.
A question was brought to my attention by one of my friends. "Are you gonna have people die and come back to life in this story like they do in the series? I mean it's okay, it's just that it gets so old after a while."
The answer to that question remains to be seen. I probably won't but wheter I kill someone will also remain to be seen. I guess you'll just have to wait, read, and see how it all comes about.
------------------------------------------------
A little bit more about this chapter. Yutsuki begins to cause "doubts" in Kurama's mind. Thoughts like if she can really be trusted. He obviously keeps this to himself but someone discovers that his thoughts are troubled and becomes more worried than before. And you know that if Kurama is not doing so hot on the thought list then you are pretty sure of two of the most likely outcomes: Either you're screwed and you'll be caught and tortured. Or you're screwed and you are all going to die. Hmm..... I'ld choose torture, personly, just so that I could devise a plan of escape, and of course not tell the enemy anything-.
I have an idea, I will tell you who sensed that Kurama was "uneasy" in the next chapter and see if you can guess it. Put your answer in your review and we'll see who was right and who was wrong. Everyone who guesses right will be able to give their opinion on how chapter 14 should go. Parts of all the winners suggestions will be put in the chapter, so get creative. At the end of chapter 14 I'll announce who I thought had the most creative idea!!! I'll give you all one week to enter your ideas and then I'll start writing. I have only one rule, ABSOLUTELY NO KISSING or "BAD" DREAMS or OCCCURENCES BETWEEN ANY of the CHARECTERS. THOSE PARTS of the SUGGESTIONS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED AT ALL. ------------------------------------------
Yusuke: What the hell is that?
Points to what looks like green gel on the ground.
Yutsuki: Kori poop.
Yusuke: Sick, haven't they ever heard of a doggy bag before?
Yutsuki: No. Let's go.
Yusuke: You know Shizuru, Yutsuki doesn't take sarcasim very well. Shizuru?
Shizuru: I think we should stop.
Kuwabara: Why? We're almost there.
Koenma: What is it?
Shizuru: I have a bad feeling. We should stop and find a good place to hide.
Yusuke: DO YOU THINK WE HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD?
Yutsuki: She's right. And yes we do have alot of time.
Yusuke: What do you mean?
Yutsuki: Come, I know a place to hide. I'll tell you more when we get there.
After about 5 minutes they come to a fork in "road". One side looks peaceful but the other looks like a hallway of hell.
Yutsuki points to the freaky one(of course): Come on, we can hide behind that boulder. There's a little cave behind it.
Yusuke: What do you call what we're in now?
Yutsuki: The base of a mountain. Come on.
Yusuke: Man that girl is tense.
Kurama: Yes. A little to much. (And she also seems so willing to share information with us even though it could cost her life. So why...?)
After they all enter the cave, Yutsuki lights a lamp.
Yutsuki: Alright, as you can see this is our base. We hide weapons, food, water, and other supplies nessecery for our cause.
Koenma: Cause?
Yutsuki: Yes, you see you are in the middle of a war that has lasted almost two-hundred generations. As soon as the King dies it will officially be a two-hundred generation war. We know that the King is close to dying as his eldest son has been taking charge of the kingdom lately.
Kuwabara: How do you know that the King isn't dead already? I mean if his son is running the show around here.
Yutsuki: Two reasons, he doesn't wear the crown on his head and he has not declared that he is king. Now you must listen carefully. The day before you all arrived a meeting was called in the town square. It said that dangerous beings from the Human World may try to enter the Dark Realm and if anyone sees any strangers to bring them to the back gates of the castle immediatly.
Yusuke: What!?! Are you setting us up?
Koenma: Do you think she would be telling us if she was?
Yusuke: I don't know. You're suppose to be the expert here all mighty diaper butt.
Koenma: Sit down Yusuke and let her finish.
Yusuke: What?
Kurama: Yusuke, maintain yourself.
Yusuke: Now you're really freakin' me Kurama. Why wouldn't we want to kill her now so they can't get us.
Kuwabara: If she wanted to do that then she could have just let those guards chop us up or let us drown in the swamp.
Shizuru: Wow bro' you were thinking pretty logically there, did you get hit to hard on the head or something.
Yutsuki: No, it's his uniform. I failed to mention that it also increases strategic thinking as well. However it doesn't seem to be working on your friend over there.
Yusuke: You want to say that to my face?
Yutsuki: I believe I just did.
Yusuke:Uh......
Yutsuki:I make my point.
Kurama: Please, continue.
Yusuke finally gives up and sits down.
Yutsuki:The reward would be great they said. But the revolutionaries did not care about the gold. We knew that this would strike fear into the hearts of those who had refused to join our cause. It is known far and wide that only someone of the royal family can freely move back and forth through the realms. Anyone else would have to have been extreamly powerful or extreamly lucky. We saw an advantage that we put into action. We set up posts, some raided the houses of those who didn't rally to us. Others, like myself, were to patrol the borders until the arrival of the strangers. I scouted along the main borders until I saw a rouge portal appear in the forbidden area of the realm. Which was obviously all of you. That's why I sliced all those guards, to find out if you were the ones. I had no idea that you were here for the Jewel Carr...
Yusuke: Call her Keiko.
Yutsuki: Fine, I had no idea that you were here for Keiko. When you told me your purpose I remembered the story my mother had always told me before I would fall asleep. She said that when they came we would finally be able to taste our freedom from King Kakekio. He was the first king of the realm and was the reason peasents cannot travel out of it. Since he appeared to be one of the purist souls in the realm he was chosen to rule. No one really knows what made him become so evil, but ever since then we have all lived in fear of the royal family neigh one of them, the youngest daughter of his royal majesty. You see their whole family was cursed after that by the King's sister. She stood up to his cruel ways and they took her life. She warned that if he killed her their whole family would be cursed until those who would bring salvation should come. He did not heed her warning and now they are still cursed to this day. One night my mother said that strength lies in numbers, and that whatever should happen I needed to be strong.. Back then I thought she was saying I should try to get big muscles. Now I know she was trying to warn me, and she said it in a way that I would understand only afterwards.
Yusuke: After what?
Yutsuki: That night she woke me up late at night, hid me in the closet and said to stay there until I heard her whistle. I waited for almost 3 hours before I heard her whistle. I opened the closet door and saw blood all around. I ran screaming out of the room into the hall. Two men had been whistling and they had something wrapped in cloth. It was my mother. They told me she was the last to die and that her last word was my name. I had nightmares forever after that. They told me that since she had stood up to the King they had killed her. They killed 30 others that night. Since my mother was the last to die, she was able to keep her head for being the strongest. Now I know what she really meant, and that is why I fight. It was hard to explain why I would risk so much to help complete strangers, but I think no price is to high if I can avenge my mother's death.
Shizuru: I'm sorry.
Yutsuki: It was almost 6 years ago.
Yusuke: Wow. I know what it's like to die, not a fun experience.
Yutsuki: You've died?
Yusuke: Twice.
Yutsuki: I see.
Kuwabara: You sure are calm knowing that he's died before.
Yutsuki: True that it is shocking but I can't say I'm surprised that he pulled through. If he was even half the stubborn, pin-headed jerk that he is now he would have done just fine battleing the odds.
Yusuke: What?!? How could you label me that fast? You've know me for what, a day?
Yutsuki: Your sarcasim gives you away. You look for other ways out of certain times when you are to afraid to admit your true feelings. Your greatest enemy is yourself, and if your not careful you'll end up dying again. Except this time you won't have a magic wand to bring you back to life. Sometimes we must let go of our emotions in order to fight with a clear head.
Shizuru: It's the exact opposite with Yusuke. His emotions push him to do better and rise to the challenge.
Yutsuki: That's how all beginners are. They believe their emotions will lead them in the right direction.
Yusuke: What do you mean beginner? I've been through more crap than you probably could imagine.
Yutsuki: Really? You've watched as your mother was thrown ontop of thousands more coarpses that were burned infront of you. You've endured watching your best friend being slautered on a pole infront of the whole town to set an example of, you sat and watched as 7 children were skinned at the same time infront of their rebelious parents and all they said was "It's okay momma, we'll play in heaven again some day, but not soon," you've seen the ground wither to nothing if front of you as you were forced to steal from the palace food storage and be the only one to make it out alive? You've gone through the most intesive training of the sword and how to harness your own energy in case your weapon should be taken from you and you know how to endure the most grusome torture that exsists. If you've gone through all that and more than we have more in common then I thought.
Yusuke: I've endured enough to know that when you fight you are your only defense against your enemy.
Kurama: Hiei told you that.
Yusuke: Yeah so. It's true isn't it?
Shizuru: I had no idea it was that bad here. What exactly is your cause?
Yutsuki: We want to stop the royal family from going into other worlds or realms or there really will be no hope for us anymore. The legend is what we sustain ourselves upon. Now we know that it's true. The whole rebelion knows now.
Yusuke: What?
Yutsuki: Since I wasn't at my post to switch duties and there wasn't a death in the town square they know that I've found the ones who can help us. It is time to go. Our time is short now.
Yusuke: You said that we had all the time we needed.
Yutsuki: That was before he showed up.
She draws her sword and slices a man in half.
Yutuski: He won't give away our hideout but he is a scout and they need to return to the castle in 2 hours at the most and since we've hidden a half-hour, we have an hour and a half to get to the gates before they come.
Kuwabara: Who?
Yutsuki: The same ones who took your friends.
Yusuke: Let them come. I'll kill them both by myself.
Yutsuki: They won't die. They are invincible.
Yusuke: How the hell would you know.
Yutsuki: That's why my friend was murdered in the sqaure. She managed to get in the castle and at night attacked them both stabbing them both in fatal areas where they should have died. She was caught and killed.
Koenma: How do you know she made a fatal blow to both? She may never have even touched them.
Yutsuki: Because they were at the town sqaure when she died and they were bleeding from the temple area. Not to mention they were holding the left side of their chests the whole time.
Koenma: Oh.
Yutsuki: Let's move. Now.
As they leave the cave the impact of what Yutsuki said has just hit them.
Yusuke: I know that she's had it rough but why does she have to be so harsh?
Kurama: Perhaps her strength is that which she can read people very fast and learn their strengths and weaknesses. Maybe she was trying to give a warning not to let your emotions rule you this time. This is all very puzzling.
Shizuru and Yusuke: What?
Kurama: That she would be so willing to share something so painful with us and that she is ready to die to help us accomplish our mission.
Koenma: Maybe she really is good at heart. This isn't the human world anymore.
Kurama: Perhaps, but still, she just seems too helpful.
???: For some reason, now I sense an uneasiness clouding Kurama's head. What could that mean? Whatever it is though, it must not be good.

Ooo, spooky.
Let's see how well you paid attention. I dropped clues here and there through the chapter. Some are misleading so don't overthink it. The answer might be right in front of you, or you might have to know your charecters really well. You have one week to get your answers in. But don't forget to let me know what you think of the chapter. Good luck to everyone and don't forget that if your the most creative, I'll recognize you at the intrduction to my chapter.
