Alright going back to the little encounter with Kurama and Yomi… Sorry it was a bit disturbing… as I promised I haven't had any more of that in the story. I'm glad that you are enjoying this story… and I hope you continue to do so.

SunStar Kitsune: Hello. Thank you for reading and reviewing my story. Alright about the meat… I don't think you got it.. but I sorta implyed what it was… don't get sick.. but it was human… You know how Raizen eats that or did… so that's why he found it revolting… because of his promise. Yes I am doing a handful.. its hard to keep up with the demand. But I manage alright. I hope you enjoy this chapter..

Yami Yami Yugi: Hey! What up? You think? I tried really hard with that Kurama and Yusuke fight. You gotta love it… Yusuke's going to fight with daddy dearest. This should be very intense. I found the perfect inspiration… so it should come out good. Hope you like it.

Tsuki Fox: Hello again. Thank you once again for the good comments. I indeed try to keep all the characters in character. Kurama is the toughest since he is so smart and conning. You missed a really good ep then… I saw it… it was very good. You aren't a broken record… lol…sometimes I feel like one… Hope you like it.

Green Breeze: Hello again. I'm glad you enjoyed last chapter. I agree with you, this should be a very good chapter, at least I hope… I'll indeed try to make this fight longer… Hope you like it.

KaraKurama: Hello again. Here's another update… didn't take too long… No fair.. you're out of school already.. I still got a week of school and then another week of tests… I hope you have time and enjoy this chapter as well.

Rurouni Kitsune: Hello again. I'm glad you thought it was a great chapter. Yeah the Kurama and Yusuke fight was new and interesting. I thought I write a fight with them in it since they don't do that in the series. I know, it would be interesting to see the two of them fighting or at least training together in the series… makes things good… Hope you enjoy this chapter.

Bloom Flower: Hello again. I'm glad that you love it…I laughed when I wrote the part about Genkai and the video games.

Man that was a lot to write. I'm glad I'm getting all this feed back.. Keep it coming and I hope you all enjoy it. Without further ado.. here is chapter 54.

Battle of the Mazoku

" 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."

Raizen and Yusuke began their classic stance and stared at each other. Small smirked appeared on the father and son as they prepared themselves for the battle at hand. At the same time the two warriors began to increase their powers. The strong aura's of the two warriors started to expand and soon it seemed they both dropped their guards and started to walk toward each other. Neither one would look away for an instant. Then in a flash the whole thing began.

Yusuke made the first move. He started charging his father. When he got to a certain distance he took to the air and flipped over Raizen and then charged again. Raizen smiled as he could sense the attack coming. He turned around just in time to meet the attacks of his son. Their fists were flying at each other, neither one seemed to have the greater advantage.

Yusuke and Raizen both pulled back their arms and they both swung a punch. They both reached their targets, landing square in the face. Both let out moans as they both felt their bones crack under the pressure of the blows. The force of the attacks forced both the fighters to fly back, each sliding on the floor some distance from their previous spots.

Yusuke and Raizen jumped back onto their feet and they two began attacking again. Yusuke started out with a punch. He lowered his body close to the ground. Raizen watched him as the young youth raced toward his position. In an instant Yusuke through his punch upward. The blow was blocked by the kick Raizen created just in time. This nearly broke Yusuke's arm.

He grabbed it in pain as he took a few steps backward. His eyes showed great frustration. Once again Yusuke kept his ground and looked straight into the eyes of his attacker. A small smile appeared on his face to show how excited he was. Raizen too felt the pure excitement from the battle he was engaged in. He smiled as he took off running in Yusuke's direction once again. Yusuke shouted his battle cry as he too continued running toward his father. They both prepared attacks… and soon they were hand in hand fighting for position. The sparks from their hands were beginning to grow hotter and hotter. The ground around them was beginning to break under the pressure of their powers.

Yusuke and Raizen's red auras were beginning to come together. The discharges from both of them began to fly toward their peers causing everyone to dive for cover. Raizen's eyes glowed as he swung his leg at Yusuke's chest area. The kick landed on its target and the result of the attack forced Yusuke to flip sideways. He landed on his right hand and he swung his kick at Raizen. The older fighter was prepared for the attack and blocked it with his free arm.

Yusuke did another turn as he landed on his feet and was breathing very hard. This was the most intense battle of his life. Raizen simply stood up and looked at his son, waiting for him to attack again. Nothing came for a long while. The king of demon world spread his legs for his next attack. The flames of Raizen's powers were beginning to grow larger once again and they began to raise into the air. Raizen looked very calm as Yusuke powered his aura up once again. It wasn't as intense but it was still strong enough to clash with Raizen's.

Yusuke smiled as he once again took to the offensive. He charged his father. Raizen did the same. Yusuke jumped into the air and pointed his finger toward him. It started to glow a deep blue. Yusuke smiled. " Take this! Spirit Gun!"

The blue blast came flying toward Raizen. The elder fighter slid to a stop as the blast came at him. He wasn't worried at all. He took a quick feel for the amount of energy the attack hand and just as it approached him he kicked it right back at its owner. Yusuke looked shocked. " Shit." He cursed as the attack was headed back his way. We wasn't sure if he could handle it. He quickly floated over to the side and the attack just missed him.

Yusuke let out a relieved sigh. ' Man that was too close…' He looked back at his father who looked like he wasn't under any stress at all. Yusuke narrowed his eyes. He felt as though Raizen was teasing him.

Raizen lifted up his hand and gestured Yusuke to come at him. Yusuke stuck his middle finger in response and flew at his father. Raizen spread his legs apart in preparations for the attack. Yusuke came at him with full force. His fists were flying beyond the speed of light but Raizen didn't seem worried as he blocked every one of Yusuke's attacks with just the down side of his hand. Yusuke did another flip and brought his legs up for a double kick. This attack landed on its target, right in the middle of Raizen's chest. The powerful demon king was forced backward.

Two feet tracks were shown in the ground. As the dust cleared you could see Raizen standing there with one a small scratch on him. Yusuke's eyes shot open as he looked over the damage, if you could even call it that. His fists shook in anger as he came rushing toward him again. Raizen closed his eyes and sighed as he felt this battle was getting tiresome. He raised his aura around his body once again. Every time he did so it seemed to get more intense. Yusuke tried to fight his way through it with his fist but it was no use.

His fist crashed into the wall of energy. He tried to push through it with all his might. The only thing he managed to do was bring the sparks right at himself. The hard sparks singed his clothing and threw Yusuke back. The young detective found himself on the ground with a hole in his shirt with a wound that began to hurt like the dickens.

Yusuke cringed at the pain he was now enduring but didn't think anything of it. He struggled to stand up. After a few moments the young boy got on his feet. However to any observer you could tell that Raizen had clearly hurt him a lot and severely. Yusuke could barely stand and his vision was getting worse. Raizen smiled at this and it seemed his mind was beginning to take him back to his old ways, the ways of the savage. Yomi and Mukuro noticed this at once but didn't step in right away.

Raizen shouted as his powers began to erupt once again like it did when he was being brought back to life. Yusuke was terrified of the output of power he was now witnessing. He backed off but then stopped. He's eyes got more serious as he stood his ground. ' I can't run away… what good will that really do me… I have to be prepared for anything… if I run now… Karuru will win… and I will not let that happen!'

Yusuke's eyes flashed as he too began to go through a remarkable change. He was surrounded by a powerful blue cylinder of energy. Sparks were flying in every direction. The lateen powers of the Mazoku were beginning to emerge once again in the young boy. The sand picked up and soon there was an explosion in the area. Long black hair could be seen coming from the dust. When the dust cleared Yusuke reappeared in his true demon form.

Raizen smiled as he witnessed this change in his son. For a long time he wanted to face someone like himself… a true Mazoku. The two family members smirked at each other as they once again fell into the classic stances. In a blink of an eye they were off once again. This time the two fighters were very equally matched. Yusuke and Raizen's blows were both hitting their targets. The area around them was getting shredded.

Another big explosion was forced as Yusuke and Raizen threw powerful punches at each other. The two warriors concentrated their energy under them and they took off into the air. The fists continue to fly up in the sky. It sounded as though there were cannons going off. The shock waves of the collisions of the attacks crashed with the ground causing it to shake apart.

Kuwabara and the rest of the gang were truly impressed with the power display of both of their allies. However at the same time they were concerned if they were not stopped soon the whole demon world would be destroyed.

Yusuke and Raizen floated in the sky for a moment and looked at each other. You could tell they were not thinking of the safety of the others around them… they were just thinking of the moment. Their eyes showed great fire as they flew at each other once again. Raizen landed the only attack and elbow to Yusuke's face which caused the younger Mazoku to fly past everyone and go through a couple of rocks. Yusuke laid on the floor for a few minutes unmoving. Raizen took this opportunity to attack. He came flying down at him and prepared a kick right into Yusuke's chest.

Yusuke snapped his eyes open as he sensed his father coming toward him. He smiled as he flipped out of the way and Raizen only struck the ground, forming a huge crater. Raizen looked up at Yusuke whose hand was glowing a dark blue once again. He smiled as he fired several attacks at his father who didn't seem to fight back at all.

Once again another dust ball formed around the figure of Raizen. Yusuke landed safely on the ground near by and stared at the spot where his father was. As the cloud began to dissipate Yusuke smirked but his smirk was soon whipped off as he saw the figure of his father. He was perfectly fine. He moved his head side to side as you could hear the cracking noises. " Ah thank you my son. I really needed that. That attack fixed a few cranks in my neck…"

Yusuke growled as he charged his father once again. Raizen did the same but he was faster. Raizen made something of an after image and Yusuke flew right threw it. This gave Raizen the perfect advantage. He grabbed Yusuke's long hair and placed his hand on his back. " Check mate." He muttered.

Yusuke's body was frozen… he knew he was beaten. His father had him exactly where he wanted him. " I surrender… you win…" Yusuke stated.

Raizen let go of his son and smiled. " Very well done my son.. I haven't had a match like that in years. If you keep practicing, you'll be good enough to beat me."

Yusuke spun around. " How.. how did I do it! How did I transform!"

" That… my son.. is different for everyone. I guess it was your sense of need that forced your body to accept the full form of our kind…" Raizen stated. The king began walking off. " That fight gave me quite the appetite… what something to eat son?"

Yusuke blinked a few times as he smiled as he followed his father in. " You got it."

Kuwabara above all was in total shock as he watched Yusuke walk back into the palace. " That was totally nuts! He was… I never saw anything like it!"

" Indeed… Yusuke does indeed have talents inside his demon form… all they really need is to be brought out… and that's exactly what Raizen is doing." Yoko commented.

Yomi walked up to his old leader. " I guess I wasn't the only one who noticed Yusuke's hidden strengths. You have always been good at that Yoko…"

" It doesn't take a brilliant strategist to find powers like that Yomi…" Yoko smirked. " I'd beware Yomi… Yusuke, could easy take you down now…" With that he began walking off with Hiei and the others.

Mukuro looked up at Yomi. " Now we have all we need to bring things back to normal…"

" For once we agree Mukuro… With their combined power.. demon world will once again be brought under our powers."

" Perhaps Yomi… We'll see what happens when we cross that bridge."

To be continued..
