*************

"What is he doing?" Noraneko looked up at Yuki with his hands cupping above his eyes to avoid the sun's glare. He was surprised when Hiei spoke.

"He finally cracked."

"What? What do you mean by that?" Noraneko looked down at Hiei, questionably and sighed in annoyance when Hiei refused to answer him. "Why do I even bother?'

'He's been holding in his emotions for so long that he has forgotten how to deal with them.' Hiei thought as he gazed up at his son. A small frown appeared on his face.

***************

Yuki recoiled instinctively from the glare he was getting from Goku. He had never seen Goku looking so angry in his whole entire life and slightly startled that Goku was directing it towards him. This was Juunanagou's entire fault.

The redhead turned his eyes back to focus on Juunanagou and instantly his eyes once again gleamed with intensity and the energy in his hands began to grow more.

"Stop this right now, Yuki."

"I can't. I have to kill him." Yuki replied glaring hatefully down at Juunanagou and thought. 'This is all your fault Jinzouningen, Goku-san is mad at me because of you.'

"Look, Yuki, I knew you're angry, but we can work this out. I understand how you feel." Goku reassured calmly as his eyes continued to focus on the large energy forming in Yuki's hand. "Just don't do anything that you might regret later."

For a moment Goku had thought Yuki was calming down and he flew closer to Yuki, but halted when the redhead started to chuckle and then explode into laughter.

"You? You of all people understand how I feel?!" Yuki throw his head back, laughing as his eyes danced with amusement. He suddenly stopped laughing startling Goku greatly and spoke in a non-joking manner. "Not assume you knew how I feel, Goku-san. Because do not understand how I truly feel."

"Calm down Yuki we're only talking there is no need to get upset." Goku said quickly noticing the more Yuki got angry the more energy was formed and now it was almost the size of Bulma's house. A single sweat came down his brow from the heat. "I only want to help you."

"Upset? I'm not upset. I'm annoyed, yes, but upset, no." Yuki corrected thoughtfully and looked back to gaze at Goku. "And if you want to help me. You can destroy that stupid tin can. That would definitely help me."

"I can't do that."

"Why? Why can't you kill the jinzouningen? He's going to try to kill you anyway might as well kill him now." Yuki insisted carefully with a low tone. Goku frowned and shook his head.

"He didn't do anything yet, Yuki. We—" The Saiyan was cut off by Yuki's yell.

"HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING?!" Yuki switched his eyes off of Goku and onto Juunanagou. "He had done something that was worst than trying to kill me. He took my Noraneko-chan away…"

"Yuki…" Goku stared at the redhead in amazement, his eyes widened with shock. Yuki didn't seem to hear him and kept speaking.

"I searched many nights and days for Noraneko-chan and you know what happened when I found him? He looked at me like I was a stranger. An intruder." Yuki closed his eyes tightly and continued. "He didn't even seem to understand the fact that I went all through my way to find him…"

"Never in my life had I felt so hurt by the fact that he had forgotten me. Forgotten and replaced by that…t-thing! But then he said that he was glad that I came for him and I was happy again."

Yuki reopened his eyes and fire blazed inside of them. "Although he didn't want to come home. I didn't understand that part. Why didn't he want to come home with me?! What does that jinzouningen have that I don't?! Is it his looks? His personality? What is it that makes that thing special?!"

"Is it his eyes? I could always get contact. His hair? I can always get a wig, if Noraneko-chan wanted me to. I'll do anything even if it means destroying my pride in the process. I just…don't want to be alone anymore…"

"I see…You're jealous." Goku confirmed rubbing his chin thoughtfully and received a venomous glare at this statement.

"So what if I'm jealous. Wouldn't you be jealous, if your wife met another guy and forgot all about you? Wouldn't you be jealous, too?" Yuki demanded angrily and slowly forced more energy into the golden ball. "And wouldn't you want to hurt the person for making her forget about you?"

"I guess." Goku replied scratching his head with a sheepish expression, but shook his head and waving his hands wildly. "No! I mean—"

"Liar. You understand how I feel and that is why that jinzouningen needs to die!" Yuki raised the energy above his head with a intense expression on his face. He was about to hurl it in Juunangou's direction, but then unexpectedly Goku spoke. It was Goku's words that make him hesitate about throwing the energy.

"Don't do it, Yuki! If you throw that energy, not only will Juunanagou die, but also Noraneko!" Goku cried out towards Yuki, whose eyes were slowly began dilate. See Yuki's weakness, he continued to speak, "And everyone you care about will die, including you and me. Do you understand what will happen after that, Yuki? Do you?!"

Yuki hesitated in replying for just a second. Did he really want to find out what would happen to him? All that he knew that Juunanagou wouldn't exist anymore and he would be happy in succeeding in doing that.

Unfortunately it seemed as though he didn't have a choice whether he wanted to hear his fate or not because Goku continued.

"You'll be sent to Hell and you'll never be able to see Noraneko, again! Think about that, Yuki. While Noraneko is in heaven, you'll be hell regretting that you ever thought of killing Juunanagou."

Goku clenched his fist tightly and glared at the enormous energy that would probably kill billions of people and demanded, furiously. "Are you willing to kill Juunanagou to let all that happen?! To kill billions of people just because you're jealous. Are you that foolish, Yuki?!"

Yuki remained silent for a moment before his shoulders lumped in defeat and began to shake.  At first Goku thought that Yuki would start crackling up again, but noticed that the fact that something wet was soaking Yuki's shirt. Goku's eyes widened as he took in that information. Yuki was crying!

"Yuki? Are you crying?"

"No." A low mumble came from Yuki. Goku forced down a smile and floated in front of Yuki's face.

"It's okay to cry, Yuki. We all do it sometimes." Goku reassured softly trying to calm the emotional boy down. "Even I cry sometimes."

Yuki opened one eye to study Goku before he sighed. He looked up at the energy in his hands, grimacing. "So what do I do with this?"

"Throw it up into the sky."

Yuki gave Goku a strange look that said what's-the-point-of-that and closed his eyes. Slowly the energy began to absorbs back into Yuki's hand like sponge does to water and reopened them when all the energy returned into his body.

"How did you do that?" Goku asked, warily gazing at Yuki's hand as if the energy would pour right out at any second. Yuki raised an eyebrow at Goku and shrugged his shoulders

"Houshi-sensei taught it to me."

"That old women that likes to touch?" The Saiyan questioned and scratched his head with a confused expression on his face. "But I thought she couldn't do stuff like that."  Goku then suddenly had an eager look on his face. "Hey, can you teach me after you get done fighting Juunanagou? It might be helpful later on when I'm fighting an enemy."

"Goku-san…" Yuki smiled slightly at the older man and shook his head while avoiding eye contact. "I don't think I'll be able to teach you after I get done fighting Juunanagou."

"Huh? I don't understand."

"Because I don't think I'll be alive to do it, Goku-san."

"What?! What do you mean by that?!" Goku stared at Yuki with his mouth thrown open. Yuki silently pulled up his shirt and gave Goku a view of the wound in his stomach. Goku gaped at the size of the bleeding wound and asked almost hesitantly, "How did this happen?"

"Juunanagou." Yuki answered dryly pulling his shirt as his eyes flashed with agony when the fabric brushed against his injury. He still wasn't use to the pain.

"Oh…" Goku was unsure of what to say without upsetting Yuki.

Yuki stared up at Goku for what seemed like hours and sighed. This time it was not in sadness, but bliss. He brushed a short lock of hair out of his eye and smiled warmly at the older man. "Goku-san, I want to thank you for taking care of me when I first came to this dimension. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be the person I am today."

"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" Goku joked and chuckled when Yuki stared wide eyed at him. He clamed his hand on Yuki's shoulder and gave a firm squeeze. "Don't worry about it, Yuki. That's what friends are for, right?"

"Right." Yuki nodded his head firmly and Goku gave another firm squeeze before dropping his hand. The boy raised an eyebrow at this gesture, but decided not to question the older man. He didn't want to make things awkward between them, but the problem was. There already was.

*******************

Piccolo let out a sigh of relief seeing that Yuki wasn't going to blow up the earth, but suddenly stiffed. He had been too busy listening to Goku and Yuki's conversation that he let his guard down. There was somebody standing right beside him.

"I'm disappointed." Piccolo could hear the amusement in the stranger's voice as he spoke. "I would have at least thought you would have noticed me two minutes ago."

"Who are you?" Piccolo demanded still not turning around to face the stranger that had quietly sneak-up beside him.

"It's none of your business who I am, but I will be polite enough to give it to you." A flash of red hair could be seen from the corner of Piccolo's eyes. "My name is Minamino Shuichi, but you can call me Kurama. Everyone does."

"Well Kurama." Piccolo spoke out the stranger's name with exaggeration and demanded. "What are you doing here?"

"Again that is none of your business." Kurama chuckled as his eyes gleamed with amusement as he toyed with Piccolo's mind.

"Would you stop playing games and answer me."

Kurama could tell that Piccolo was getting frustrated and smirked. He had forgotten how amusing people were when things didn't go their way. "Where is the fun in doing that?"

******************************

"That was a close one, 'Ten." Trunks wiped the sweat off his forehead with his shirt and panted. "I thought we were a goner. If Gohan had made us go home. We'd be in deep shi—trouble."

Goten nodded and plopped himself on the ground and muttered, "I guess."

"My mom would ground me for months or worse…lock me in the gravity room with dad." Both half-breeds eyes widened in horror at the thought of being locked in the gravity room with the prince. "I pray to Dende she doesn't. I'd rather eat her cooking than do that! Anything, but that!"

"My mom would probably make me study harder and not let me spar with Gohan and dad." Trunks rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.

"That isn't so bad." Goten shook his head with wide eyes.

"No, she brought more books yesterday. It was like a budillion boxes in my room. Every book on every subject. She even went as far as to have a bag of senzu beans so when I get tired, I'd to eat some and study some more."

"That still isn't bad as being locked in the gravity room with my dad. Anyway the word is billion, not budillion"

"No, Trunks, its budillion."

"No, it isn't."

"Yes, it is."

"No, it isn't."

"YES, IT IS, TRUNKS!!"

"NO, IT ISN'T, GOTEN!!"

The two boys glared into each other faces before Trunks spoke. "Fine, then let's go ask, Yuki. He'll prove that I'm right."

"Fine. We will and he'll prove that I'm right, Trunks!" Without another word Goten took off towards Yuki. Trunks mouth opened in surprise before he growled angrily and muttered every word that he heard come out of his dad's mouth as he turned Super Saiyan and quickly caught up with his friend.

****************

Juunanagou uncrossed his arms from his chest and placed a hand on his hip while he gazed at Yuki, impatiently. "About time you showed up. I was being to think you were chickening out on me when you almost decided to destroy earth. How stupid is that. Getting all worked up because you couldn't win a fight."

Yuki ignored the jinzouningen's taunted and reassured Juunanagou in a calm manner. "No, I'm running out of the fight, Jinzouningen." His looked Juunanagou straight in the eye at his next sentence. "This fight will continue."

"Good, but this time. I'm serious." Juunanagou stated as he slid into a fighting stance. The usual smirk that was always on his lips slowly faded off and an emotional mask slid in place.

"That's just fine. I'm going to be serious also." The redhead pulled a black rose out of his hair and turned it into a whip like he had done before. Juunanagou's eyebrow raised slightly at the color of the rose, but remained silent.

For a moment there was complete silence. There was no movement between the two as they stared each other down while looking for weakness. Just as a gust of wind blew past, Juunanagou vanished out of Yuki's sight.

Wildly, Yuki looked around trying to search for the jinzouningen's ki and cursed. He had forgotten that Juunanagou had no ki to sense.

"Looking for me?" Yuki's head snapped up and blocked the blurred fist that was aiming for his head. He grabbed the Juunanagou hand and tightened his grip on his before bringing back his elbow to slam it into the jinzouningen's face.

Trying to catch Juunanagou off guard, he flipped Juunanagou over his shoulder expecting the jinzouningen to land on the floor, but was surprised when Juunanagou landed gracefully on his feet.

'He's so quick! I almost didn't see him get up.' Yuki thought as he barely blocked some of Juunanagou's punches. Unfortunately he didn't guard his stomach carefully and had to deal with the results. Yuki slumped slightly forward over Juunanagou's fist and stared wide-eyed as blood came out of his mouth.

"How pathetic. One little blow and your already in pain."

Yuki recovered quick enough to repay Juunanagou back. He slammed his tightened fist in Juunanagou's gut making the jinzouningen stumble back a little and flung the whip forward. The whip wrapped itself around Juunanagou's ankle and with a sharp pull, the jinzouningen landed on his back losing his balance.

"Not good enough, Jinzouningen? Well try this on for size." With a sly grin, Yuki bent his knees and twirled in place, spinning around Juunanagou in circles. His grip tightened on the handle of the whip as he spun the jinzouningen.

Juunanagou gritted his teeth in pain when he felt the thorns from the whip dig into his ankle and just as he was being spun around wildly. The jinzouningen instinctively brought his arms over his head and he felt himself being slammed onto the ground. The ground underneath of him cracked into pieces leaving a giant hole. A rush of pain went through Juunanagou's head.

Grabbing the end of the whip that was attached to his leg, Juunanagou ignored the blood that was falling into his eyes. He summoned some energy into his hands, but cursed when the whip won't snap apart like it did the last time.

"Don't you know? That's my energy inside that whip." Yuki spoke as he yanked the whip back, sharply making Juunanagou slide towards him. "Now that my energy is balanced with my emotions. I can control this whip better."

Juunanagou narrowed his eyes, letting that information slip into his head. 'Control…All I need is to make that stupid youkai lost control.'

Yuki could clearly see that Juunanagou was thinking of plan and decided to let go of the whip. He watched as Juunanagou flow into the distance before the jinzouningen stopped himself in mid-air.

Almost like a bat out of hell, Juunanagou flow with speed Yuki had never seen before. He wasn't quick enough this time to dodge the kick in the face and fall backwards, but caught himself with one hand. Yuki used his left leg to swipe Juunanagou's feet from underneath of him and jumped to his feet when Juunanagou avoided his kick and landed at the spot Yuki was at a second ago

"You're good." Yuki complimented panting heavily as he gazed at Juunanagou, who stared right back at him.

"I know."

Yuki's lip twitched at Juunanagou's remark before he charged at Juunanagou at his full speed. He let out a yell as he punched rapidly at the jinzouningen and blocked the punches Juunanagou's was throwing at him also. Juunanagou surprisingly caught both of Yuki's fists in his hand and brought his knee up to slam it into Yuki's sore gut, several times.

Yuki coughed back a loud cry as he felt Juunanagou's knee ramming into his stomach and blood sneaked its way from his mouth. He then suddenly felt himself being kicked up into the air and landed ungracefully on his back. As Yuki stood up, he looked up when he heard something going through the air.

'An energy blast!' The redhead cried out in his mind and fling the energy into the distance with the back of his hand. He hissed looking at his now bleeding hand and glared up at Juunanagou, whose hand was still outstretched.

Juunanagou was becoming frustrated with his opponent. That stupid youkai just won't stay down! No matter how many times Juunanagou punched him; Yuki just would not give up.

*********************

"Come on, 'Ten. We're almost there!" Trunks shouted over the wind as he flow through the sky.

"I'm hurrying, I'm hurrying!" Goten yelled back trying to keep up with his best friend. He looked down at the land below him and suddenly smiled widely. "Hey, Trunks! Isn't that Yuki!"

"Yeah, it is. Let's hurry before we miss him." Goten and Trunks diverged quickly to the right and landed a few feet behind Yuki, who didn't seem to notice them.

"Hey, Yuki!" Trunks waved at Yuki along with Goten by his side. The boys were both surprised when they saw the intense expression on Yuki's normally calm face.

"What are you two doing here?!" Yuki demanded and looked up to the sky. His head snapped towards them before he yelled, "DUCK!!"

"Huh?!"

Trunks and Goten watched with wide eyes as Yuki sheltered them his body. It was then they both understood why Yuki told them to duck when the two boys actually felt energy blasts rain down on Yuki's back.
