A/n: Hello everyone. I'm sorry it took me so long to update but my writing spirit and my inspiration has been very low. I haven't had the faintest idea where to go with this story, and it is kinda hard with all the things going on at once. I just wanted to say thank you to all of you who have reviewed, it really means a lot to have so many fans of my story… I noticed a lot of you discovered that I made a slight error in the previous chapter… making Kaitou say the taboo word first. I totally missed that little detail. So thanks again. Because of the new 'rule' that we can't answer reviews I've decided not to do it this chapter, but please know that I do appreate all your kind words. It really means a lot to me. So I send my thanks too… HottieKarasu,

Hiei's dragon girl 1, Tsuki fox, green breeze, KaraKurama, Bloom Flower, Spitfire-Hanyou14, rurouni kitsune, BlackRoseVixen05, muie5, Pan Jaganshi, Jessica, and phoenixfirekitsune. I hope you all enjoy it!

Devastating Turn of Fate

Meanwhile in demon world Karuru laughed as he finished watching the battle around living world. " Very interesting powers that boy has. Well now that I know about it I can send the real copy of myself to obliterate all of them… and maybe in the process get another servant to do my dirty work…"

The powerful demon narrowed his cold eyes for a moment and he looked out in his territory. He sees a lot of his demon birds flying around the area around Yomi's castle. A small smirk appeared on his face.

' So there is something happening over there is there. The fools have no chance even if they train. Even if my weaker servants can't beat them… with the spirit sphere I am unbeatable.'

Kururi leaned against the doorway and smiled at Karuru. " So my lord, the domination we have been seeking all this time is almost finally in our grasp."

Karuru smiled as he looked at his faithful servant and friend. " Yes Kururi we are very close. The spirit world's forces have been defeated and the living world is in the palm of my hand. During the last battle I have discovered that some of those humans have powers that I can use. I want you to bring them over to our side Kururi."

" With all due respect Karuru, don't you think we have enough men to take care of those meddling fools? You are at your maximum power right now, and we both know that upstart Yusuke can't hurt you. Not to mention we have already seen how they can over- power my control so it would be a bit risky."

" You do bring up a good point Kururi. In that case I will not waste any time. I will finish them all off before Urameshi can complete his training. I think you will be all I really need to defeat them but just in case, take some of our allies with you and destroy them…don't leave one stone unturned."

Kururi nodded. " As you wish." The second hand man began to walk out again. " If I don't get back… I just wanted to say it has been an honor knowing you."

" Don't talk like that Kururi. I know you very well and you are more than enough for them." Karuru approached him and gave him a reassuring smile. " We have done everything in our power to prepare ourselves for this moment and we will not fail."

Kururi touched Karuru shoulder. " Thanks my dear friend. You've always given me all the strength I need to keep going and that will bring me back to you in the end." With those words Kururi walked off into the darkness of the mansion.

Karuru watched him leave and he closed his eyes. ' I do hope you return to me Kururi.' The dark lord opened his eyes and he looked back out the window watching Kururi and some various demons begin walking off to the living world.

Kururi looked up at the powerful demon. ' I swear Karuru I shall return to you and I shall stand by your side even to the very end.'

Meanwhile in the kingdom of Yomi training was is in full swing. Yusuke was once again facing off with his father Raizen. The father and son broke into their classic stance, neither one of them showing a hint of hesitation.

Yusuke took a deep breath and closed his eyes as he began to summon his powers to the surface. Raizen watched with an interested look as he noticed Yusuke's powers increase to levels he didn't have in their previous engagement.

' Very impressive… it seems my son has finally learned to control his great power deep within him… but he still has a bit to go… Karuru is a very hard enemy to defeat. After he finishes his training with us he should be ready and powerful enough to defeat him.'

With that Raizen began to increase his own demonic power. When Yusuke snapped his eyes open and the two rushed at each other. When they got not too far away from each other they jumped into the sky and the punches and the kicks began to fly. Powerful shock waves hit the ground creating enormous earthquakes.

Kuwabara feel down onto the ground and his eyes widened as he looked up the sky. " Holy crap! Urameshi has gotten so powerful. He'll waste that Karuru person!"

Kurama smiled as he turned his attention to Kuwabara. " It is true that Yusuke's power has indeed increased but he is far from reaching the power required to defeat him."

Kuwabara looked even more surprised. " You're trying to tell me he's gotten get even more powerful? That's freaken crazy. I don't even see how that is possible!"

Hiei huffed as he turned his attention to Kuwabara as well. " Once again idiot you have failed to realize what Yusuke is capable off."

" Shut up shrimp! If you're so smart why don't you explain it to me!"

" As it happens Kuwabara, Yusuke's power has always been closely related to his feelings." Kurama started to explain, " Toguro has already demonstrated that when he pretended to kill you. He has all that power inside of him but he doesn't have the slightest idea how to unleash it. With this training we hope that Yusuke will be able to reach it on his own."

" That sure does make sense. At least someone explains it to me unlike someone I know."

Just then, there was another powerful wave of energy as Yusuke and Raizen pulled back and punched each other in the face. The impact sent both fighters flying to the ground. Two big bangs echoed and a lot of dust picked up. As the dust began to dissipate Yusuke and Raizen both got on their feet with not even a small scratch. Yusuke smirked as he rushed toward Raizen again.

The powerful demon king stood his ground. Yusuke attacked violently with powerful kicks and each time Raizen dodged them. When Yusuke was about to try another kick Raizen stopped it with his hand and he countered with his own kick forcing Yusuke back. " You have indeed gotten better Yusuke. Lets see what else you have learned."

Yusuke smiled as he once again took to the offensive. He charged his father and 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 attack was shot like a cannon right at Raizen. The elder fighter could feel the power of the attack and this time he found he could not simply deflect it like the last time. He tried to hold it back but he was forced back even with his feet digging into the ground. The older fighter was pushed back to a wall and the blast exploded. Sakura looked shocked and concerned as another cloud appeared around them. " Oh no father!"

Yusuke floated down harmlessly to the ground and looked over at the pile of rubble he had put his father in. Yomi and Mukuro looked on in shock as did the others of the group. The unison thought of holy crap went through their heads. There was no movement from the pile for some time until a small little rock moved from the top. Soon Raizen pushed the rubble out of the way and stood up. He had a few cuts and blood was coming out of them.

Yusuke was in total shock as he witnessed the shape of his father. ' Damn my spirit gun could have really killed him… did I really get that much stronger than him?'

Raizen smiled at his son. " Very well done son. I'm impressed. That blast was powerful enough to hurt me. Come at me Yusuke. Show me what else you can do!"

Yusuke came at him with full force. His fists were flying beyond the speed of light. Raizen did his very best to block each of his attacks but some got by his defense and struck him. 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 Yusuke could see Raizen standing there with a slightly bloody chest.

Raizen backed up slightly as he let his power erupt once again. Yusuke smiled as he too let his huge powers come to the surface. The battle was slowly bringing Yusuke's power to the surface.

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.

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.

The powerful attacks from the younger Mazoku hit the older one with great power. Raizen of course put up a small barrier around himself to minimize damage to himself. 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. Raizen was breathing heavily in fatigue. Yusuke began walking toward his old man again. " So are you ready to give up this fight yet… or do you want more?"

Sakura rushed over to them and stood between them. " Please stop! This has gone on far enough. Can't you see Yusuke? Father is too tired. Stop your assault."

Yusuke smiled at her and then looked over at the condition of his father. " I guess I did go a bit over- bored this time. So what do you say old man?"

" Well I must say you have gotten much stronger. You should be ready to defeat Karuru and his men with little trouble if you can battle like you did just now."

Yomi and Mukuro clapped at the conclusion of the battle. " Very nicely done Yusuke. You have proven to us all that you are ready to battle this dark force that is threatening us."

Yusuke smiled at them all. " Well I have all of you to thank for this. If you guys didn't help me with all that training I would have never been able to reach this power level." The victorious Mazoku let out a small grumble. " Man that really took a lot of me. We should take a break before we have to kick some ass."

" Agreed." With that the group walked off to the castle to indulge themselves with another meal.

-Living world-

Kururi and his allies were looming over Genkai's temple. The powerful 'general' ordered his men to attack them. Inside the temple Genkai and the others were enjoying a newly boiled cup of tea. Genkai narrowed her eyes as she quickly looked over in the direction of the door.

Keiko blinked as she looked over at the old master. " What's wrong Master Genkai?"

" We have company."

Keiko tensed at her words. " Is it them… the demons?" Just then, the door opened to reveal Koenma in his teenage form with Jorge and Botan. When Keiko saw their faces she let out a relieved sigh. " Hello Botan…"

" Hey everyone. Don't mind if we drop in."

Genkai looked over at Koenma. " I take it since you are here Spirit World has been over run by Karuru and his armies?"

" That is unfortunately correct Genkai. I had no desire to leave Spirit World unprotected, but my father ordered me to leave and told me I must do all within my power to protect living world until Yusuke is done with his training and arrives."

Genkai smiled. " Seems like your father hasn't lost his judgment after all. We can use all the help we can get down here. Kaitou has already had to reveal his hand and I can only hold them off for so long in my state. So any assistance you can give us Koenma will be a god send."

Kaitou fixed his glasses and looked at Genkai. " Master Genkai, the demons have arrived."

Genkai nodded at her new disciple. " Kaitou… you stay here and protect the girls… Koenma and myself will do our best to keep them away from you… but if you have no choice, and this goes for you too Kido, manifest your territories."

The two teenage boys nodded at Genkai. " We understand."

Genkai and Koenma rush out of the temple only to meet by the horde of demons and their leader Kururi. " How disappointing… this won't be much of a challenge. Two fighters no big deal."

"You should know better then let your confidence get the best of you." Genkai commented.

" Even if you get past these demons you won't get past me!" Kururi turned to his demons. " Attack them!" The group of demons roared as they all attacked at once.

Genkai powered up her aura and she let her hand glow. " Take this!" She shouted as tons of blue attacks flew out at the demons, killing a bunch with the impact. Kururi narrowed his eyes as he watched them all get defeated by and the old woman. When Genkai successfully finished off the demons she turned her attention to Kururi. " Now it's your turn!"

Kururi smiled at her. " You may have been able to defeat my weaker servants but defeating me is another story." Kururi had a deep purple aura surrounding him. " You don't stand a chance against my greater power!"

Koenma turned to Genkai. " Be careful. For some reason this guy worries me. Something about his power doesn't seem right." He leaned in closer and began to whisper. " Genkai I need you to told him off for a while… I'm going to try to use my secret weapon on him."

Genkai broke a smile. " I thought you had something planned Koenma. Alright I'll hold him off… don't you let me down." With those words Genkai squared off with the powerful demon, Kururi.

The battle was insane from the start their, attacks were flying and both were kicking the heck out of each other. The rest of the gang watched on in horror as it seemed as though Genkai was losing her advantage. Kururi smiled as he quickly grabbed on to Genkai and began to flip her. As he did so the cracking of her bones could be heard. He banged her onto the ground and then slammed his foot into her causing the elderly fighter to cough up a large amount of her blood. Keiko's eyes widened in total fear and she screamed.

" YUSUKE HELP US!"

Yusuke snapped his head up as he heard his girlfriend's cry for help. He got up and began to rush off.

" Urameshi! Where are you going?"

" I have to help them! That bastard is going to kill them!" With that Yusuke rushed off with the others in close pursuit. ' Hang on Keiko! I'm coming to save you!'
