Hey!

This is the second to last chapter...OO I can't believe it! Wow...this story is almost over! I'm actually sad to see this one end...but I am happy, because it's one less story to worry about...hopefully I can finish some other stories, but that might not be for awhile...well anyway, I have nothing else to say which is a shocker so I'll just go right into the story (huge grin)

Oh waitI do have one thing to say, and it's to answer a confused reviwer!

Not-Just-a-pretty-face But you had ta put a little drama in there, which is what I wanted, but, one question, when did Yukina get sick? I thought that Sensui was gonna try and lock her up in the wacko shack...

Me:In chapter two Kuwabara begged Yusuke to let Yukina go and I quote:

"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.

Not-Just-a-pretty-face: And where is Sensui? Is he gonna come out soon?

Me: Sensui is waiting for word from Itsuki. If you remeber in chapter 5, when Sensui and Itsuki went to the Kuwabara house hold, they were not home, so Sensui told Itsuki to wait for them and when they were home to contact him and he would get his plan in action.

Not-Just-a-pretty-face: Oh and one more thing, in some lines you wrote 'her' or 'she' when you were talkin' 'bout Kazuma, like 'She has to love him in return' and 'Kuwabara said before moving her hand away.' So... um... is Kuwa like... a chick? Did I... miss somethin' or other?

Me: (blushes and scratches back of head) Yeah, about that...hehehe, I keep thinking of Belle when I write some parts (sweat drops) Sorry about that. Kuwabara is still a guy, I just keep thinking about the original story of Beauty and the Beast...my bad, which I corrected. Thank you for pointing that out, though, I would never have known, until I read it (sweat drops) which would have been weeks later.

Ok, I hope that clears up several things...now on to the story!

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho or Beauty and the Beast, both belong to their rightful owners and Iam not making any money from writing this story.

ENJOY!


Chapter 8: Sensui's Plan Put into Action

Kuwabara saw the smoke of the small fire his mother and sister had made.

"Mother, sister!" Kuwabara shouted as he approached the small clearing.

"Kazuma…is that you?" asked a hoping Shizuru.

"Yes momma it is." Kazuma said, rushing to his mother and embracing her in a bare hug.

"My Lord it is you! Oh my dear Kazuma!" Shizuru cried. "I thought you were gone forever."

"I'm find mother, really. Now let's get Yukina help." Kuwabara said, gently picking up his sister.

His mother rode on Silver with Yukina in her lap, Kuwabara guiding Silver back home. Kuwabara carried Yukina into the house, his mother following right behind him. As soon as the door closed, Itsuki un-dug him self from the pile of snow the poor guy half frozen from staying in the snow as long as he did.

"They're back." Itsuki said, standing up stiffly and going to Sensui to tell him.


Inside the house, Kuwabara gently lays his sister on the bed and wraps her up with blankets. Yukina slowly stirs and opens her eyes. She looked over and happy tears filled her eyes.

"Kazu?" Yukina asked, lifting up her cold fingers towards Kuwabara's face.

Kuwabara took his sister's freezing hands and began to rub them.

"Yes, Yuki, it's me, Kazu. I'm home." Kuwabara said with a smile.

"I thought I'd never see you again." Said Yukina weakly.

"I missed you so much." Kuwabara said, his eyes filled with tears.

Yukina's eyes widened.

"But the beast. How did you escape?" Yukina asked.

"I didn't. He let me go." Kuwabara said.

"That horrible beast?" Yukina asked, not able to understand.

"He's not a beast, Yukina. He's…he changed. He's changed somehow." Kuwabara said, continuing to rub her hands.

Shizuru had finally got the fire started and was heating up water to put in some water bottles to warm Yukina's feet when there was a sound coming from the pack he wore on his back that held the magic mirror. The flap opened and the magic mirror fell out, Bingo rolling to a stop on top of it.

"Hi!" Bingo said with a smile.

"Looks like I have a stowaway." Kuwabara said, shaking his head.

Shizuru bent down and looked at the little talking tea cup.

"Well aren't you a cutie." Shizuru said.

"Why hello there, little guy. I didn't think I'd ever see you again." Said Yukina, smiling.

Bingo looked at Kuwabara with a look of a question on his face.

"Kazu, why'd you go away? Don't you like us anymore?" Bingo asked.

Shizuru didn't know what was going on but, decided to go back to helping get her daughter better, going back to checking on the boiling water.

Kuwabara sighed and looked at Bingo.

"Oh Bingo, of course I do. It's just that…" Kuwabara started when a knock on the door caught his attention.

Kuwabara was about to go open the door when his mother told him to sit. She went to the door and opened it.

Standing on the porch was Ichigaki.

"Can I help you?" Shizuru asked, giving the man a dull look.

"I've come to collect your daughter, Yukina." Said Ichigaki, taking a step aside to show the Asylum D'Ichigaki wagon behind him.

"What the Hell is this about?" growled Shizuru.

Kuwabara stood up and walked up to the door.

"My sister? What about my sister?" Kuwabara asked.

"Don't worry miserure. We'll take good care of her." Ichigaki said.

"My daughter's not crazy." Shizuru said with a glare.

"Yeah, so go find someone else to bring back to the nut house." Growled Kuwabara.

Itsuki emerged from a crowd of people that Kuwabara and Shizuru hadn't seen before.

"She was raving like a lunatic. We all heard her, didn't we!" Itsuki said.

The bystanders affirmed that with a 'yeah'.

"No, I won't let you!" Shizuru shouted.

"You'll have to go past me to get to my sister." Growled Kuwabara.

Yukina, having heard the ruckus emerged from the house.

"Kazu, mother, what's wrong?" Yukina asked.

"Ah, Yukina. Tell us again, little girl, just how big was the beast?" Itsuki asked.

Kuwabara narrowed his eyes at the man, who gave him a smirk.

"Well, he was...that is...enormous. I'd say at least eight, no more like ten feet." Said Yukina, though having a hard time because of her condition.

The crowd exploded in a fit of laughter.

"Well, you don't get much crazier than that." Laughed Itsuki

"Yukina, you shouldn't be up. You're not feeling well and should be in bed." Kuwabara said.

Yukina ignored Kuwabara and tried to plead her case.

"It's true, I tell you!" she said.

Ichigaki waved his arms and orderlies moved in, picking up Yukina.

"Take her away!" shouted Ichigaki.

"Let go of me!" coughed Yukina.

"You bastards!" growled Kuwabara. "Let my sister go!"

Sensui grinned from his position to the side of Ichigaki, though not close enough to make him seem guilty of arranging this whole thing.

"No, you can't do this!" shouted Shizuru, grabbing and begging Ichigaki, however, he shook her off and walked away.

Kuwabara was about to go after the men who had his sister thrown into the wagon.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Poor Kazu. It's a shame about your sweet little sister." Sensui said.

Kuwabara turned a death glare to him.

"You know she's not crazy, Sensui." Said Kuwabara.

"I might be able to clear up this little misunderstanding, if..." Sensui said, looking off to the side, not finishing his sentence.

Kuwabara narrowed his eyes at the man.

"If what?"

"If you marry me." Sensui said, looking Kuwabara dead in the eyes.

"What?" Kuwabara said, looking at him in shock.

"One little word, Kuwabara. That's all it takes." Sensui said, leaning in towards Kuwabara.

"Never!" growled Kuwabara.

"Have it your way." Sensui said, as he turned and started to walk away slowly playing hard to get.

"Kazuma?"

Kuwabara turned his eyes to his sister who was now being thrown into the wagon, his mother trying to get his sister free from the men. He saw one of the men hit his mother.

"Mother!" shouted Yukina, who began to struggle even more. "Let go of me!" she said.

Kuwabara clenched his hand into a fist and ran back into the house, coming back out with the magic mirror.

"My sister's not crazy and I can prove it!" Kuwabara shouted, catching the crowd's attention.

Kuwabara looked into the mirror.

"Show me the beast."

The Magic mirror began to shine, producing the image of the still depressed Yusuke. Kuwabara turned the mirror towards the crowd so they could see. They oohed and aahed at it.

"Is it dangerous?" asked a woman.

Kuwabara shook his head.

"Oh no. Yusuke would never hurt anyone." Kuwabara said, trying to reassure her and the crowd.

"Please, I know that he looks vicious and sure he sometimes acts like an ass, but…but he's really kind and gentle. He's my friend." Kuwabara said.

Sensui narrowed his eyes at Kuwabara and walked up to Kuwabara.

"If I didn't know better, I'd think you had feelings for this monster." Sensui said, spitting out 'monster.'

Kuwabara growled and glared at Sensui.

"He's no monster, Sensui, but you sure the hell are!" growled Kuwabara.

Sensui growled and turned towards the audience.

"He's just as crazy as his sister. It must run in the family!" Sensui shouted, he then turned and grabbed the mirror from Kuwabara.

"The beast will make off with your children! He'll come after them in the night." Sensui starts telling the crowd, who gasp in fear.

"NO!" Kuwabara shouted, trying to get the mirror back.

"We're not safe 'til his head is mounted on my wall! I say we kill the beast!" Sensui shouted.

The mob cheered him and started to repeat 'kill him'.

"We're not safe until he's dead." Said a man in the crowd.

"He'll come stalking us at night!" said another man.

"Set to sacrifice our children to his monstrous appetite!" sheriked a woman.

"He'll wreak havoc on our village If we let him wander free!" shouted a man.

Sensui smiled in triump and lead on the crowd.

"So it's time to take some action, boys! It's time to follow me!" Sensui shouted, throwing a torch into a haystack, creating an instant bonfire.

Sensui began to prance around it, warning the crowd of the dangers of the horrible beast.

"Through the mist, through the woods, Through the darkness and the shadows, It's a nightmare but it's one exciting ride." Said Sensui.

"Say a prayer, then we're there, At the drawbridge of a castle, And there's something truly terrible inside." Sensui said, before chasing Itsuki around, mimicking a monster.

"It's a beast, He's got fangs, razor sharp ones, Massive paws, Killer claws for the feast!" Sensui said, showing the face of Yusuke, who is still in a depressed state. "Hear him roar, see him foam, But we're not coming home, 'Til he's dead, good and dead, kill the beast!" Sensui shouted.

"No, I won't let you do this." Kuwabara shouted.

"If you're not with us, you're against us. Bring the little girl and the woman." Sensui said.

Two men grabbed Yukina out of the coach, while two took a hold of Shizuru.

"Get your damn hands off of me you jackasses!" growled Shizuru.

"Please, let me go!" Yukina begged.

Sensui grabbed Kuwabara's shirt and before Kuwabara could react, through him into the basement, throwing his mother and sister after him before bolting the doors.

"We can't have them running off to warn the creature!" Sensui said, turning to the crowd.

"Let us out of here!" growled Kuwabara, banging on the door.

"We'll rid the village of this beast. Who's with me?" Sensui said, earning a chorus of 'I am's' from the crowd.

Sensui took a torch and lead the mob through the town and out into the forest where they start chopping trees in preparation for their assault on the castle.

"We'll lay siege to his castle and bring back his head!" shouted Sensui to the crowd.


In the basement, Kuwabara is prying at the window with a stick.

"I have to warn him! I must warn Yusuke! This is all my fault. Oh!" growled a frustrated Kuwabara. "What we going to do?" Kuwabara sighed.

Yukina weakly got up and walked up to her brother, hugging him; their mother still trying to break down the door and yelling profanices at the door.

"It's going to be alright Kazuma…We'll think of something." Yukina said.

Bingo, which snuck into Kuwabara's pocket during the chaos, looked through the window. She found one of Shizuru's contraptions that had an axe on the end of it and had an idea.


Well that's it guys! The next chapter is the last one! Yup people...it will be over in the next chapter! So until then...LATER!
