Chapter 2

Beauty Meet the Beast

Back at the Kuwabara residence, Kazuma is again nose deep in the new book he got. His mother, Shizuru, had gone to the village to get some food and other things. As Kazuma read, he heard a knock on the door.

Kazuma sighs and places the book down on the table and walks towards the door. He then reaches up and pulls down a viewing device, which his mother made to see who was at the door, and looks threw it. He groans when he sees that it is Sensui, who was at the door.

Kazuma pulls open the two way door and plasters a fake smile on his face.

"Sensui, what a pleasant…surprise."

"Isn't it though? I'm just full of surprises." smirks Sensui, as he steps into the house. The way Sensui said that and was looking at him, made Kazuma shutter.

"What do you want?" asks Kazuma, glaring at Sensui, who was now in his house, with out permission.

"You already know the answer to that question my dear Kazu."

"You have no right calling me that. Only my mother and baby sister have that right." glares Kazuma, letting his guard down.

Sensui uses this moment to close the door, which was opened inward, and pin the poor boy to the door, placing both of his hands on both sides of Kazuma's face, leaning in.

"Oh come now my dear Kazu. Don't act like that." says Sensui, leaning closer to Kazuma's now flustered face.

Kazuma frantically searches for the door knob.

"And I came all this way to ask you to marry me….Well? I might as well. Will you do me the honor of marring me, Kazuma Kuwabara?" Sensui asks, leaning dangerously closer to Kazuma's lips.

At that moment, Kazuma finds the door knob and twists it.

"I'm sorry, but I don't deserve you." Was the last thing Kazuma said, before opening the door out ward, and ducking under the older man's falling form.

Sensui tumbles forward, and into a mud puddle that was out side the door.

Outside the cottage was a wedding band and what seemed to be the whole town. Itsuki, who didn't turn around, but hearing the door opened, instructed the band to start to play.

Kazuma stares at the wedding and then gives a death glare towards the now muddy Sensui, before going back inside and locking the door behind him.

Itsuki turns, his long green hair stays in the pony tail, and his yellow eyes meet angry brown ones of his best friend and secret love. He stops the band and walks up to the pissed off man, with a smirk on his face.

"So how'd it go?" asked a very amused Itsuki,

Sensui growls as he stands up, but slips and falls back into the mud. This had earned a fit of laughter from the 'audience', which was basically the whole town. At least his father wasn't there to witness the embarrassing moment.

Finally, Sensui got up. "I'll have Kazuma, make no mistake about that!" Sensui storms off back to the village, with an amused Itsuki right behind him.


Kazuma sighs and walks to the table and puts a book mark in his book, before placing it on the book shelf.

"I can't believe that guy. He's so persistent, and to think that he asked me to marry him. Ha, like that would happen. When Hell freezes over is when I'll marry that jack asx." Mumbles Kazuma as he storms out the back door of the cottage and towards the barn.

He starts to feed and take care of the animals. After all of his chores are done, Kazuma lays against a tree and closes his eyes, taking in a deep breath.

A flash of light and imagines appeared across his mind. The images didn't seem to make any sense.

Moving objects…a horrific castle….a horrible beast…..Yukina crying.

It all just didn't make any sense to the boy. He opened his eyes, hearing something coming his way.

There was Sliver, without his precious baby sister Yukina.

"Silver!" Kazuma shouted as he jumped up and ran towards the still frighten horse.

"What are you doing here? Where's Yukina? Where is she Silver? What happened! OH man we gotta find her!" shouts Kazuma, mounting the horse and galloping off into the way the horse had come. Little did he realize his mother was coming back from the village with an armful of groceries….


Silver brings Kazuma to the castle, as if by magic, since the horse never made it to the castle with Yukina.

"What's this place? It looks familiar…" Kazuma says. He gasps as he realizes it from the vision he had right before Silver came.

'This ain't good, not at all.' He thinks.

Silver snorts and begins to buck, as if something scared him. Kazuma dismounts and calms down the beast.

"That's it, easy boy. Good boy." Kazuma says, petting the horse's slivery mane.

Kazuma turns and with a deep breath opens up the gate and enters it. Kazuma looks down and sees a piece of Yukina's dress on the floor, battered and soaked for being in the cold snow for as long as it was. Kazuma gently picked up the cloth.

"Yukina..." He whispered, turning his gaze towards the dark and mysterious castle.

Kazuma clenched the piece of cloth to his heart and with a determine face, started towards the doors.
Meanwhile, with in the castle, Koenma and Kurama are discussing the events of earlier.

"Couldn't keep quiet, could we? Just had to inviter her in to stay, didn't we? Sever her tea, sit in the master's chair, pet the pouch." lectures the pissed of clock.

"I was trying to be hospitable." Sighs Kurama, getting quiet annoyed with the clock's lectures.

Unbeknownst to the two, Kazuma quietly entered the castle and looked around.

"Hello? Is anyone here? Hello? Yukina? Yukina are you here?" he asks.

He turns to see a stair case and gets a feeling that he should climb them. Knowing to follow his gut, Kazuma began to climb the stairs which lead to his dear baby sister.


In the kitchen, Botan is standing next to a tub of hot water. Bingo hops into the room, all excited.

"Mama! There' a guy in the castle!"

Botan gives her son a stern look. "Now Bingo, I don't need to hear another of your crazy stories. I'm in no mood."

"But really mama, I saw him!" whines Bingo, as he approaches his mother.

Botan scowls. "I don't want to hear it, now let's get you clean!" her frown turning into a smile, never being able to stay mad for too long.

"Awwww ma!" says the little tea cup as his mother lifts him up and places him into the tub. Just then, a feather dust comes rushing in.

"What is the matter, Keiko?" asks Botan, concerned about her friend's behavior.

"I just saw this guy walk into the castle, and now he's heading up stairs!" says the frantic Keiko.

Bingo gives a smile at his mother. "See! I told you mama!"


Back to where Koenma and Kurama are still….discussing…

"Irresponsible, devil-may-care, waxy eared, fox boy candle…" shouts Koenma, but was interrupted by a voice.

"Yukina?"

Kurama and Koenma turned just in time to see Kazuma walk by the open door of the room they were in.

"Did you see that?" asks Kurama, a strange but good feeling formed in his gut.

He ran to the door and peeked out, watching Kazuma walk further down the long dark hallway of the second floor.

"It's a guy!"

"I know it's a guy!" whispers Koenma, now standing next to Kurama and watching the boy walk further down the hallway.

"Don't you feel it! He is the one! The one we have been waiting for! He has come to break the spell!" shout Kurama, overjoyed. He chases after the one they had been waiting for.

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!" shouts Koenma, running after his friend.


Kazuma advances down a narrow hallway, not sensing Koenma or Kurama following behind him. He was too worried about his dear sister to take notice of them. He opens a creaky door and walks in. There is a stair way that leads to another part of the castle, the part where his sister is locked in a jail cell in the tower.

"Yukina? Yukina?" Kazuma shouts worry evident in his voice. He turns around and just misses Koenma, who ducks behind the door. However, Kazuma did sense someone run up the stairs.

Kazuma follows the one up the stairs.

"Hello? Is someone there? Wait! I'm looking for my little sister, Yukina!"

Kazuma slows down. He can sense someone watching him, but he didn't know from where. Kurama was in a little shelf where candle sticks lit up the long stair way. Kazuma took one of them and continued his way upwards; he had a feeling his sister was up the stairs.

"That's funny, I'm sure there was someone…I sensed them. I-i-is there any body there?" asks a little freaked out Kazuma. He really wasn't getting too good of a feeling in this castle. It felt cursed or something.

Yukina, hearing her brother's voice cried out from her cell.

"Kazuma!"

Kazuma rushed up the stairs and barged into the tower, finding his poor sister locked in a cold cell.

Yukina shivered. She was still wearing the clothes she first started out with. They had dried to her skin, the cold air freezing the clothing to her body. The poor girl shakily got up and stumbled towards the cell door.

Kazuma rushes to it as well.

"How did you find me?" she asks, hope and fear in her voice.

"With my gift of course and my love for you, Yukina…" he says, taking his sister's small hands into his huge ones. He shuttered.

"Your hands are like ice. We gotta get ya outta here." Says Kazuma, worry all over his face.

"Kazu, please, you must leave this place!" Says Yukina, weakly, but full of fear and worry.

"Who's done this to you?" growls Kazuma, hating to see the fear in his sister's red eyes.

"There is no time to explain! You must go…now!" shout Yukina, terror in her voice.

"I won't leave you!" Kazuma shouts back.

Suddenly, the beast grabs Kazuma's shirt and whips him around. Kazuma shocked that he hadn't sensed the one who was obviously more powerful then he, dropped the light he was using. This had caused the room to go absolutely dark, except for the glowing of the moonlight that shown threw the whole in the tower's ceiling.

"What are you doing here?" asks the beast, danger within his voice.

"Run Kazuma!" shouts Yukina, now terrified for her dear brother's life.

"Who's there? Who are you?" asks Kazuma, a hint of fear in his voice, but more anger then fear.

"The master of this castle. Yusuke Urameshi." Yusuke states, with a less dangerous tone.

Kazuma swallows all his fear and stands proud.

"I've come for my little sister. Please let her go! She's getting sick, or can't you see that!" says a growling Kazuma.

Yusuke was taken aback. No one had the guts to stand against him. He was impressed, though he wasn't going to let this fool know that.

"Then she shouldn't have walked into my castle unwelcome." Yusuke says, growling back, hoping this would put the boy in his place.

"But she could die! Please I'll do anything!" shouts Kazuma, his voice with less fierceness, but having more of a softer, yet still firm tone to it.

"There is nothing you can do. She's my prisoner." Yusuke says, thinking that he had won.

"There's gotta be something I can…wait! Take me instead!" Kazuma says, glaring into the darkness.

"You…you would take her place?" asks a very shocked Yusuke, but he found the boy's offer quite tempting and very noble.

"No Kazuma! You don't know what you're doing!" shouts Yukina, on the verge of tears. "If I did, would you let her go?" asks Kazuma, still standing firm.

"Yes, but ya gotta promise to stay here forever." Yusuke was now hoping the boy would promise. He had felt something the minute he laid his hand on him.

'This guy just might be the one.' He thinks.

Kazuma thinks about the deal. He then realizes he hasn't even seen the guy he was making the deal with.

"Let me see you." Kazuma asks curiosity in his voice.

Yusuke hesitates, but then gives a sigh of defeat; he drags his legs, coming up into the small amount of light that came from the hole in the ceiling. Kazuma's eyes widen as he can see the beast's whole body. Kazuma takes a step back.

"No Kazuma! You can't! I won't let you!" Yukina shouts, tears falling down her pale face. She was obviously sick and needed help.

Kazuma snapped out of his fright, hearing his sisters crying and after taking a deep breath, also stepped into the light.

The beast was only two inches taller then Kazuma, which was not the only reason why Yusuke gasped. In the mood light, Kazuma looked innocent and yet at the same time memorizing. Yusuke couldn't believe this boy, who was probably the same age as himself, was so beautiful and yet was so brave.

"You have my word." Kazuma says, his voice filled with conviction.

"Fine!" Yusuke says, noting wanting to give the boy a chance to change his mind.

Yusuke walks past Kazuma, who falls to his knees in defeat, clenching his eyes close.

Yusuke let the hysterical girl out of her cell. Once out, she rushed to her brother, latching on to him.

"Please Kazuma! Don't do this!" she shouts.

"I have to sis. You're young and have to help mom still." says Kazuma, looking away from his sister. She lets go, more tears falling down her face.

"Please, Kazu…"

At this moment, Yusuke grabs the sobbing girl and drags her downstairs.

"Wait!" shouts Kazuma, stretching out his hand towards her.

"Kazuma!" she cries, disappearing from her brother's view.

"Wait!" he shouts once more before digging his hands into his hair that is now down. He had lost the tie a while ago leaving his hair curly and free. He pulled at his free orange curls and bend over. He sobbed for what he had just lost; the life he left behind and his family were gone forever.


Yukina still sobs as she is dragged to a palanquin.

"Please! Spare my brother!"

"He doesn't mean anything to you anymore. He is now mine, so just can it already." growls the growing annoyed beast.

He throws her into the palanquin. "Take her to the village!" he shouts.

The palanquin breaks the ivy holding it to the ground and then walks off like a spider, with the sobbing Yukina in side. "Please! Let me out!" she cried as she was taken over the small bridge and towards the town.


Kazuma watches the palanquin cross over the bridge, from the cell window. He sighs and clenches his eyes again, holding back more tears. He'd be damned if he would let himself cry again. He falls back to the fall and brings his knees to his chest.


The beast walks up the stairs when he is stopped by Kurama.

"Yusuke?"

"What!" shouts an annoyed Yusuke.

"Since he will be staying with us for quiet sometime, I was thinking that you might want to offer him a more comfortable room." suggests Kurama.

Yusuke growls in his face, not wanting to be told what to do with his new 'guest'.

"Then again, maybe not…" sighs Kurama.

'This is going to take sometime.' He thinks.

Yusuke enters the tower and looks at the Kazuma, who is now on the floor, his knees to his chest and his head laying against his knees.

Yusuke's eyes soften a bit, feeling a bit guilty now.

"I guess I'll show ya your room now."

Kazuma looks up with surprise clearly written on his face.

"My room…?"

He looks around.

"But I thought…"

"Ya wanna…ya wanna stay in the tower?" asks a confused Yusuke.

"Well…no…" Kazuma said a bit embarrassed.

"Then come on."

Yusuke walked out of the room. Kazuma sat there a bit in shock, but shook himself out of it. He stood up and followed.

He looks around at his surroundings, actually getting a good look at them, since he was too busy worrying about his sister to take notice of it earlier. The light cast shadows, making everything in the hallway a bit creepier then they actually were.

He runs to catch up with the beast, which is carrying Kurama as a light source.

Yusuke glances back at his new 'guest' and notices the tears in his eyes that he would not let fall.

"Say something to him." says Kurama, trying to help the beast.

"Hmm? OH." Yusuke turns to Kazuma.

"I….um…hope ya like it here." He gives a quick glace to Kurama who nods telling him to continue.

"This is your new home now, so you can go and do anything ya want, 'cept you can never go to the west wing."

Kazuma was intrigued.

"What's in the west wing?"

Yusuke stops walking.

"It's forbidden!" he growls.

He then takes a few calming breaths and continues on his way. Kazuma, freaking out a bit, composed himself and followed behind the beast.

They finally reached a door and Yusuke opened it. Yusuke turned on the lights to relieve a beautiful room with a king size bed, a dresser, a closet, and a window that showed the back yard.

Kazuma walks into the magnificent room, awe struck.

Yusuke gives him a tender smile, but just as it appeared, it was replaced with a scowl.

"Now if ya need anything, just call my servants, they'd be more then happy to help you."

Kurama whispers "Dinner…invite him to dinner!"

The beast growls; he really just wanted to be alone and be with his thoughts.

"Fine…You're eating dinner with me and that's that!" he then leaves, slamming the door behind him. Kazuma plopped himself onto his bed and sighed.

"Well this is starting out to be one swell of a day."


Well that's it for that. Oh for those of you who love Hiei, don't worry, he'll be in this. I had to make a character and stuff just for him, since there wasn't an object that fit him . He's special hahaha. So don't worry . Alright, until next time, please read and review!
