Running, we came to the exit, only to find it blocked with two minutes to detonation. "We don't have time to find a new exit!" Botan groaned.

"Get out of the way, I'll bust through." I stumbled forward.

"Yusuke, you don't have the strength to." Kurama caught me as I fell back.

"Neither do you or Hiei, so what choice do we have?" My question was answered a second later by an explosion. When the smoke cleared, it revealed Chu with Rinku on his shoulder, Jin, Touya, Kai, Yen and Ryo.

"How goes it, mate?" Chu asked.

"A lot better now." I grinned.

"Well, then don't stand there like a bludger! Let's go! We can't afford having our champion team get injured now, can we?" Chu asked, grinning.

"Right he is! When the tourney next around comes flying we'll face you ourselves and have new muscles on use and 'WHEW-WEE' you'll go zipping and we'll be champions of that one!" Jin said with his usual cocky grin on his face.

"Right. What ever he said." I grinned back. I suddenly fell forward. Jin caught me. Gently lifting me, we all ran out. As the stadium exploded, every one gathered together. I had him set me down. I looked up at the sky. "It's done… WE FINISHED IT GENKAI!" I shouted. As Botan began to rant about us not getting our prizes, I smiled sadly. It's not like the Committee could've given me what I wanted anyway. I grimaced and leaned against Hiei, who was right next to me, to keep from falling over. Yukina, Hiei, and Kurama helped me down to the ground. Yukina and Kurama examined my wounds, primarily my abdomen gash, which had started bleeding again.

"She's tired; she just needs time and rest." Was Yukina's analysis, besides bandaging and maybe stitches, which Kurama did, with the help of various plants. Stumbling back to our room, the exhausted Team Urameshi fell on our beds and were out cold before we even hit them. The next morning, I woke and quickly showered. Bandaging my abdomen, again, I went to the forest.

"Hey, Yusuke!" I turned and saw Rinku, Chu, Touya and Jin walking towards me.

"Hey." I winced. "Mind helping me sit down?" Chu and Jin immediately complied. "Jeez, I feel like an invalid…" I groaned, but had a smile on my face. "So, you guys okay? Are Kai, Yen and Ryo okay?"

"Yeah, they're fine." Jin grinned. "As are we." I let out a breath of relief.

"What about you, Yusuke?" Touya asked me.

"I'll… Be fine. Eventually." I smiled sadly. "These physical wounds will not last very long."

Rinku looked around and hopped off Chu's shoulder. "I'll see ya guys later." He grinned and walked off. This raised questioning glances from his friends, but he just winked and disappeared into the forest.

I leaned against the tree and closed my eyes. "Funny. After the tournament ended, this place lost some of its ominous feeling." They nodded in agreement. "So, what are you doing after this, Chu?"

He smiled. "Nothing."

I laughed. "If any of you are ever in the human world, look me up."

Chu's smile widened. "We will."

"Good." I slowly stood. "I'll see you guys later." I turned to leave.

"Hold on a sec, Sheila." I turned back around.

"Yeah?" I asked, grinning.

"Here." He tossed me something, which I easily caught and opened.

"These are knives that you used for the Deathmatch." I remarked, lifting the two blades to my eyes.

"Yep." He grinned. "A little memento of the tournament, 'cause you can't get any prizes."

"Thanks." I slipped them into their case.

Jin stood and playfully put an arm around my shoulder. "And this is for my little sister." He winked and laughed. "From me and Touya." He handed me a small bag. "Save it for later." He advised, smiling.

"Thanks, guys." I smiled ruefully. "I don't have any thing for you though."

"Just some hospitality when we visit is good. Oh an' some terp." I rolled my eyes. Ever the alcoholic. He and Ma would get along well. Smiling and waving, I put the knife case in the bag and walked off.

Back in my room in the hotel, I opened the bag and immediately pulled out the contents. Inside was a pair of pants; similar to Jin's except they were a light forest green. The shirt was a slightly darker shade and was cut similar to Touya's, except without the fishnet sleeves and it was made for a girl. The belt was silver, and was shaped like intricate ivy-leaves and vines. There were even Shinobi sandals and bandages. After checking that every thing fit, I carefully folded it and put it back. There was a knock on her door. I glanced up. "Come in."

A hotel waiter entered. "I was instructed to give this to you." He handed me a letter. I opened it and quickly scanned it; it was a copy of a will. I looked at the signatures on the bottom. It was Toguro's, and it left me…. I stared. Why had he left this to me? I checked the back of the letter, but saw nothing. Maybe he wasn't so bad, after all. Putting the will with my other stuff, in Jin's bag, she started packing.

"Yusuke, may I come in?"

I glanced at Keiko. "Yeah, come in." I made space on my bed for her to sit.

"Yusuke, are you going to come back home?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't I?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"When I saw you fight, I thought you might want to stay in the demon world…"

"No, I still have some ties to the human world. I might have to sever them someday, but not now." I hugged my best friend. A few minutes later, after Keiko left and after throwing my stuff back in my bag, I grabbed my two small bags. Meeting the guys down in the lobby, I absent-mindedly stroked Puu, who crooned happily. She would be staying with Keiko probably, but… I didn't really care. Hiei sat down beside me. I was startled when I felt him grasp my hand under the table, but didn't say anything. I felt reassurance from his touch.

Walking towards the ship back to the mainland, I couldn't help but remark "It's going to be weird not fearing for my life for a while."

"Yes, normal life will seem rather droll for a while." Kurama agreed.

"Yeah, its back to skipping detentions." I sighed.

"Video games." Kuwabara grinned cheesily.

"My human mother." Kurama smiled fondly.

Hiei calmly, and in a bored tone, added "Various crimes."

"Let's go home!" Kuwabara, Keiko, and Botan cheered.

"Well EXCUSE ME if I feel a little insulted."

I froze. That voice... I turned around. The others, minus Hiei and Kurama who walked, ran over to her. I stared. I felt tears forming. "YOU BITCH!"I rushed her. She tensed and shifted into a fighting stance. Dodging her punch, I hugged her. She grinned.

"Looks like you're rubbing off on me dimwit. I died like you." She chuckled slightly. "Half-assed." Genkai returned the hug.

On the ship, I leaned over the railing and smiled as the breeze blew through my hair.
