Let the training commence!
The sky began to darken slightly as the hours ticked away in demon world. Sakura was still in a deep embrace with her father. Tears of joy began streaming down her face. No words could describe how happy she was to see Raizen alive and well once again.
While they were getting reacquainted Kurama took the opportunity and walked over to Yusuke to examine the wound that was created due to Raizen's awaking. The spirit detective gave the spirit fox a bit of a look as Kurama picked up his arm and began to examine it. " What do you think you're doing fox boy… I didn't ask for you to help me."
" Yusuke I'm only checking up on you. We can't offered anyone keeping secrets especially about injuries." Kurama looked at the bleeding arm closely. " Well you were lucky Yusuke… it's not too serious. It should heal up within the week…"
" I could have told you that. It's nothing to worry about. No little wound is going to stop me from preparing for the most important fight of my life!" Yusuke declared. " In fact I'm feeling so good.. I can take you all on!"
A sweat drop fell from Raizen's face. Yomi let out an amused laugh. " The apple doesn't fall far from the tree aye Raizen?"
" Indeed Yomi… Yusuke is just like his old man… a scary thought if I do say so myself…"
" That indeed is a fine asset… when a boy has such determination that no pain affects him." Mukuro commented as she walked threw the door. She smiled as her eye fell upon Raizen. " It's good to see you alive and well Raizen… You never have looked better.. I'm very impressed."
" After all these years of holding myself back… it feels rather good, so much power coursing through my veins… its almost too good to be true."
" Watch yourself Raizen… with great powers as such as yours… comes great responsibility. You know that power's price."
" I know… I'm tired of that old promise…." In the back of his mind he asked for his mates forgiveness.. " But from what my son has told me… I could do that and not have regrets."
" Uh guys.. I can tell you all this power talk makes my blood boil with excitement but can we get to the training! If any of you have forgotten.. we have three freaken worlds to save!"
" You're very right Mr. Yusuke Urameshi… Training should be our top priority." Mukuro stated, " Just how are we going to do that?"
" That's quite simple my dear." Yomi stated.
Yusuke frowned. " If you have video games… and say they are going to make me stronger…I swear I'll hook you up with the old hag and you two can play games till you pass out."
" Sorry Urameshi… no games here… but there is the perfect place to work out…" He opened a big door and it reveals a huge plain, lots of grasses and high rocks… a wonderful place to practice. " I hope this is to your liking."
Yusuke smiles. " This is a perfect spot… just to warn you… its going to be reduced to a pile of ashes when I'm done with em." The spirit detective started to stretch and looked at the group of fighters who stood near by. " So which one of you would like to be in a world of hurt first?"
Kurama did a quick stretch to get all the kinks out of his neck and he walked up to Yusuke. " Well this would be our first brawl. I can't wait to see how good you actually are… but do indeed tell me when to stop, I tend to get carried away when I'm in battle… an old habit that dates back to when I was born…"
Yusuke smirked as he turned to face his foxy friend. " Not to worry Kurama… I want to be pushed to my limits… I want a real challenge… because if I don't get that the training itself will be for nothing… you see that don't you?"
" Very well Yusuke. I shall grant you your wish… I will give you my all… prepare yourself!" Kurama reached into his long red hair and pulled out his rose. He closed his eyes as he focused his energy into it and it transformed into his famous weapon the rose whip. The long whip fell to the floor and made a semi circle around Kurama.
Yusuke looked straight ahead Kurama and for a second looked down at the whip. ' I gotta be careful. That whip of his can go right through anything. Not to mention Kurama is a master in using that… I have to be very careful…'
Kurama smiled as he began his attack. The others watched from the sideline as the spirit fox began to move his newly formed whip in all types of directions. Yusuke's eyes were wide. He couldn't believe how good Kurama actually was. He couldn't believe if he was this strong in his human form he feared the thought of crossing paths with his demon side.
Kurama picked up the speed on his attacks. Yusuke felt it hard to keep up and he was struck a few times. He went crashing to the ground. Yusuke grabbed his shoulder, which began to bleed again. " Damn it…"
The spirit fox stopped his attacks for a moment. " I must say Yusuke. You've improved your speed quite a bit since the first time I saw you fight… Wanna take a break?"
" No…" Yusuke hissed as he stood up. " Bring it on fox boy!"
" As you wish Yusuke." Kurama narrowed his eyes slightly as he jumped up and brought his powerful whip down again. Yusuke saw the attack in time and jumped up just in time. He flipped over as Kurama continued his assault. Yusuke began to get comfortable with Kurama's attacks and he found them easy to dodge.
Kurama stopped his attack for a moment. " Alright Yusuke, I can tell that my rose whip isn't much of a challenge for you… lets try another approach…"
" Sounds like a good idea Kurama… what other tricks you got up your sleeve."
" I'm not going to use my plants to beat you… we'll do this with fists. But first, a transformation is an order…" Kurama closed his eyes as a cloud of white smoke surrounded him. Sparks of power began to emerge from the cloud and soon out from it came the tall figure of Yoko Kurama. " Play time is over." He muttered with a smile.
" I'm ready for you… give me all you have."
" You shall regret those words." Yoko rushed off. For an instant Yusuke couldn't see where his friend went to… but then he heard the rustling of feet and he turned around to just block a punch to the face. The two warriors jumped to the sky, letting their aura's support them. The fists were flying and the punches were being made. Yoko smiled as he threw a quick one to Yusuke's gut and then throwing a round house kick at him, which caused the spirit detective to go flying threw the air and sliding on the floor.
Yoko made a soft landing on the ground below him. " Come on Yusuke… is that the best you can offer me." There was no response from the area around him. The spirit fox found this trick rather old as he closed his eyes and tried to pick up his sent. " Too easy." He muttered as he snapped his eyes open and jumped up into the sky and descended for a power kick.
Yusuke could sense the power of Yoko approaching and he jumped up, making Yoko only strike the ground. Yusuke took to the sky and his index finger began to glow a light blue. " Take this! Spirit gun!" The medium blast flew out of Yusuke's finger and headed toward Kurama.
The spirit fox turned his eye to catch a glimpse of the attack. A small smirk on his face appeared as what appeared to be a barrier appeared around him… holding back the attack. Yusuke's eyes widened as he watched this happen.
" Oh no way!"
Kurama smiled as his barrier canceled out his spirit gun. He lifted himself up from the ground and floated up to Yusuke once again. " Very impressive. You almost had me there…."
" Man Kurama, It's one thing to watch you fight and fight against you… I have really enjoyed this…"
" As have I… but I can tell… you are not fighting me with your best… Maybe…with more improvement we can a real interesting spar."
" Hold on." Boomed Raizen's voice.
Yusuke turned to see his father looking at them with a look of enjoyment as if his blood was boiling. " What do you want old man?" Yusuke questioned as he hovered in the air.
" Anyone can say that you improved. I am not saying that you haven't but you have a lot more work to do, and facing one of your friends is not going to cut it… you and I should duke it out… besides our match is long over due."
Yusuke smiled. " I agree… Our last fight wasn't actually well matched. You were on your last legs and all.."
" Now to mention I am boiling to try out my powers on someone… and it might as well be you Yusuke. You need to learn how to dig into your power and bring it up to the surface… if you fight as a human with the power you're showing me now… you will certainly be beaten by this Karuru character."
" Alright then… you wanna fight. I'll give you a fight Raizen."
Yomi and Mukuro looked on along with the others. " This should be interesting."
" You're indeed correct…. Both of the Mazoku going at it… what a splendid match for us to behold."
To be continued…
Hello everyone. How was that? This chapter wasn't so easy to write… with all the fighting going on and stuff… but I think it came out pretty good… the match between Raizen and Yusuke is coming up next. I hope you enjoyed this one… please review..
