I don't own YYH

Sorry for the late update. Even though it is in the 3 weeks I usually promise I had meant to type this chapter up and post it last week. Unfortunately though my college was evacuated due to hurricane Wilma (don't worry, it turns out my area got little to nothing from it because it turned a lot and hit southern Florida) and the weekend I meant to use to write it was spent elsewhere. Sorry again!

Thanks for reviewing :

Anonymouse – Sorry for the delay. Hope you find this chapter as interesting as the last.

Ani Mei - Lol. Sorry about that. Hope you like it :)

Elfdragon12 - I'm glad it has captured your interest and I hope it continues to do so :)


Chapter 2

Scientists ran about frantically, hitting buttons of the computers, inserting countless chemicals, all holding different colors, into the water containing Eclipse. Fluids were draining out of the tube from the all the cracks, but the water levels never went below where it originally had been due to all the extra ones being pumped in.

Koenma's voice could be heard screaming at the scientist to "put her down," but that was proving much harder than anyone would have expected. Eclipse, for whatever reason, wasn't going back down into a state of hibernation. In fact she was doing very much the opposite despite everything her body was being forced to endure.

None of the scientists in the room had been alive when the same occurrence had happened millennia's ago, but they all knew about it from the records. It had been noted with outrageous detail that Eclipse had been in a state of near consciousness sixty eight times in less than a century after first being placed in her forced hibernation, more than half of which resulted in the cracking of the tube she was in.

The question that would have been asked had everyone not been so preoccupied would have been why is she awakening now, after nearly three millennia's of being quiet?

If Eclipse managed to escape all hell would break loose once again. This was the main fear Koenma held as he screamed at the scrambling scientists from his office. The demon was far too notorious for killing to think otherwise. If she escaped it would mean sacrificing hundreds, if not thousands of lives to recapture her and then they would have to find a way to make sure she stayed in a slumber, permanently.

Another loud crack in the glass caused the scientist to scramble even faster, something none of them had thought was possible until that moment. Keys were being smashed in, papers flung into the air or stepped on and boots were slipping on the soaking floor as the water levels continued to rise.

"What's going on?" Yusuke asked in confusion and slight worry as he watched the white coated men run around in desperation on the screen. "Who's waking up?"

"Eclipse," Koenma said in great agitation as he continued to watch the screen. "She's only the most impossible person to rid the world of indefinitely!" he growled loudly, "Not even my father was able to strip her soul from her body three thousand years ago."

Yusuke was shocked by this. Never had he heard of King Yemma not being able to do something such as that when he deemed it necessary. "What is this girl!"

"A menace!" the spirit prince cried.

Yusuke wasn't sure what to make of all this. If not even the king of the spirit world could kill the girl how was he going to if she ever got out?

Two small balls, bright blue in color, began emitting from within the tank. The shrieks of scientists were clearly heard as they all caught sight of this occurrence. Seconds later the cracking of the tube increased ten fold.

"PUT HER DOWN!" Koenma screamed so loudly that his throat was searing after it. His eyes were filled with intense worry and anger, but who it was directed at wasn't entirely known.

The screams that then emerged from the room upon the screen and the unmistakable sound of shattering glass would haunt the minds of the two watching it for some time to come.

A stream of curses flew from the prince's mouth as he slammed his fist on his desk. Yusuke stood there in shock, every passing moment proved Koenma capable of being even more frightening than he had ever thought the prince possible of. "Should I go down there?" the question was asked wearily, he wasn't keen on facing an opponent that even King Yemma had problems with.

"No," Koenma growled, "There are countless traps along the pathways down there and even Kurama would have problems with evading them, as talented as he is in doing such things."

Yusuke nodded dumbly, silently glad that Koenma had not accepted his offer. He was confused slightly by this as well, in the past he would have gladly fought opponents much stronger than himself, yet this escapee made his spirit tremble, even before he had seen her.

"What'll happen then?" Yusuke asked.

Koenma sighed heavily and smacked his forehead on his desk. "I don't know. I just know my father is going to kill me."

"You have to know if there's anything we can do!" Yusuke half yelled, getting very anxious as he watched the screen. There had been no movement since the tank and broken, something that perhaps could be counted as fortunate since Eclipse might just be dead.

"There's nothing I can do Yusuke," Koenma groaned heavily. His throat hurt, his head hurt and he could already feel his father's wrath befalling him. Today just wasn't his day.

Yusuke studied the screen, trying to find any hope on it. The tanks liquid had spilled all over the floor along with the think glass that had once made up the tank, all the scientists appeared to be either dead or unconscious and a strange figure lay crumpled on the tanks floor. This figure Yusuke had no reason to doubt was Eclipse. She had no clothing on, but nothing besides her back and long sopping hair could be seen.

"Maybe she's -"

"Don't think then!" Koenma yelled. He groaned and repeatedly smacked his head on the desk. "Why – do – these – things - always – happen – to – me?" asked between collisions.

Yusuke held back a nervous laugh as he watched the spirit prince beat himself up. It was in no way any of their fault, but that did not seem to matter when it came to this demon. The scientists had been shocked at her awakening and even said they had no warning, so how could Koenma have had any. 'This Eclipse girl is definitely something else,' he thought as he looked back to the screen.

Shock suddenly filled his entire body. There was movement commencing in the room displayed on the screen, but it wasn't coming from any of the scientists. The girl that had been crumpled in the tube was using her arms to support her weight as she attempted to get up.

Eclipse was alive and awake. Two words that should never be put in the same sentence when describing the girl.


Uh oh. What's going to happen now? Will they be able to stop her before she escapes the palace?
