YYF14: Hey, peoples! Chapter... 6. Man, I can't keep track. I just want to thank comicfancat for reviewing again, and agapeNuria for reviewing. comicfancat, glad you liked the chapters, and it wasn't you that made me change my mind. I just actually thought it over, and I got a better idea for putting the important part of the song in without making it a songfic. And for the other song, well, I'll just writethe scenelistening to the song over and over and have the scene written with the mood of the song in mind. Then I'm thinking that the people who read it don't have to deal with the song, but can listen to it if they want to. Dunno, just an idea. agapeNuria, thanks for the review. Very nice. I wish I could do smilieys on this site... Anyway, this is my longest chapter so far, even without the author notes, so... I'll shut up and you can get to reading it. Hope you like!

(oh, one last thing- I'm not sure if some of the characters are ooc this chapter. I'm not so good at writing some characters 'cause I don't focus on them. I did my best.)

"Urameshi, why didn't you tell us about the demons?" Kuwabara demanded angrily as they were fighting through another wave of demon dogs.

"He didn't tell me!" Yusuke replied heatedly. He prepared for a Spirit Gun blast, but as it was loading, a dog leaped at him from behind, getting a long scratch on him that reached from his shoulder to halfway down his back.

"Urameshi!"

Yusuke quickly recovered, powering up his fist with energy and backhanding the dog so fiercely that it made Kuwabara wince. Once this was done, he sank to his knees, gripping his shoulder.

"We'll take care of the rest, Yusuke," Kurama said determinedly. "Kuwabara, you take care of him."

"No, I'm fi-"Yusuke tried to stand, but fell back down. "I think there was somethin' in their claws… they're not demons for nothing."

Genkai looked over, frowning. She left Kurama and Hiei to the fighting and kneeled next to Yusuke.

"Since there probably was something in their claws, I'll heal you. The last thing we need is a dying leader."

Five minutes later, Hiei and Kurama came over.

"All of the dogs are dead," Hiei said in a bored voice. "I checked."

"Shall we move on?" Kurama asked, a distracted look on his face. "I feel an unfriendly energy ahead, and it is better to meet danger head-on than to wait for it to spring on you."

The group moved on, more or less the same as when they had entered, if a bit more tired and shaken up. After about a minute, they entered another cavern, in which the bad feeling became more pronounced. They all looked around, alert for any kind of sound or sign of movement. The cavern was dark, but not too dark for them to be unable to see.

"Urameshi! Behind you!"

At Kuwabara's warning, Yusuke dodged to the side, only his shirt getting ripped from the attack. The demon had two green, scaly, clawed feet, long, green and scaly legs, and a green, scaly body. It had a long tail, two pointed ears, no hair, red eyes, black wings, and fangs. There were rather sharp-looking claws on its hands, which immediately became the center of concern for the Tantei. The claws were purple, and seemed to emit a very strange energy.

Kurama and Hiei held up their respective weapons and charged first. The creature dodged the whip, and the sword only grazed its leg. Kuwabara was determined, however, and charged with his Spirit Sword. The creature grabbed hold of the sword and tore it out of Kuwabara's grasp. The sword's energy turned green as the creature took control of the weapon. Hiei's eyes narrowed.

"Watch out, Detective!"

The warning came half a second too late. The sword had already come down, making a long gash down Yusuke's left arm. Yusuke growled, and prepared for a Spirit Gun.

"Don't, Urameshi!" Kuwabara cautioned. "If it stole my attack, think about what it can do with yours!"

Yusuke hesitated, and the creature swung the sword again, this time hitting Yusuke's left leg. It caught Yusuke off-balance, the sword disappeared, and the creature backhanded Yusuke with such force it sent him flying into the wall.

"Urameshi!" Kuwabara watched Yusuke worriedly, but quickly spun around to block an attack from the creature with a new Spirit Sword.

"Somebody go check on him!" Kuwabara yelled angrily, continuing to parry the creature's blows.

Genkai took a step towards Yusuke, but the creature's eyes narrowed, and another arm grew from it's back, and grabbed Genkai around the waist, lifting her high in the air.

Kurama tried to strike the creature with his Rose Whip, but the creature caught the whip and tugged, wrapping it around Kurama. It then threw him off into a corner, followed by Genkai. Before anyone could move, Hiei was grabbed and thrown over into the corner as well. The creature made a sound that was eerily like a laugh, and tossed a stunned Kuwabara into the corner. Now all of the Tantei except Yusuke were stuck in one corner, contained by a force field that the creature had created.

"He's gonna die!" Kuwabara yelled angrily. "Can't we break this stupid thing?"

By now, everyone had full use of their limbs and were using that as fully as they could, but no efforts could break the field. Hiei suddenly became still, staring at the creature in shock.

"What is it, Hiei?" Kurama asked, concerned.

"That demon… it's almost an S class demon… No wonder we couldn't hurt it…"

"An S class?" Kuwabara asked incredulously. "Urameshi's screwed! He's injured!"

"Tell me something I don't know," Hiei growled. "Those claws are dangerous. One slash from them and Yusuke's going to have more to worry about than a few cuts."

Yusuke slowly stood up and faced the demon, a determined look on his face. He held up his hand for Spirit Gun, but suddenly froze. The demon took this opportunity to fly up behind Yusuke and drag a long cut all the way down Yusuke's back. Purple energy surrounded Yusuke for a moment, then disappeared.

"Urameshi!" Kuwabara yelled worriedly. "You okay?"

The demon flew to the highest point in the cavern and disappeared, the force field disappearing as well. The group gathered around Yusuke, who was standing, frozen in Spirit Gun position.

"Yusuke, the demon's gone," Kurama said quietly. "You can relax."

Yusuke suddenly blinked, looking around at everyone. His arms slowly went down to relax at his sides, and there was complete silence in the cavern for two seconds. Then, an unexpected yell seemed to come out of nowhere, and Yusuke was on the ground, writhing in pain.

"Urameshi!" Kuwabara exclaimed. "Genkai, what's wrong with him?"

"I don't know, it must have something to do with his bond with Koenma. Something is terribly wrong."

"Stop it! Stop it!" Yusuke was yelling at no one in the room, so there must be something extremely wrong with Koenma.

"Get your hands off me! No! No… K-chan… no…" He became silent and still, and tension filled the air.

"Yusuke? Are you all right?" Kurama asked in a concerned voice.

There was silence for a few moments, then Yusuke took a deep breath and sat up.

"I think so… Hell, that hurt…" His eyes widened. "K-chan… oh my god… If he's feeling that… We have to help him, now!"

He made a move to stand up, but Kurama held him down.

"Yusuke, you're in no condition to fight another demon."

"No, it's not another demon. Just a human who I'm really anxious to kill."

Hiei rolled his eyes.

"He meant that you shouldn't fight at all, stupid."

Yusuke shook his head and broke free of Kurama, standing up.

"If K-chan's in that much pain, I'm not waiting. I'm going in there now."

"Yusuke, you're injured. You need to wait-"

Yusuke ignored him, waving off the protest. As everyone watched, he slowly staggered up to the door that led to the next room, favoring his injured leg.

"This isn't a good idea, Urameshi!" Kuwabara whined. "You're gonna get hurt, and then what do we do if we can't beat this guy?"

"I don't care. I'm gonna do my best, and I hope that's enough."

Yusuke took another step, but the purple energy unexpectedly rose up again, surrounding him. A few seconds passed, then Yusuke's eyes widened and he collapsed, curling up.

"Stop it… Make it stop!" Yusuke pleaded.

Hiei narrowed his eyes and opened the door. There had to be some clue as to what was going on on the other side. That chamber was darker than the one they were in, so Hiei had to wait for his eyes to adjust. When they did, he growled.

"Make the detective be quiet and bring him over here," he said quietly.

Kurama nodded and turned to Yusuke.

"You have to be quiet, Yusuke. I know it hurts, but you have to be quiet."

Yusuke nodded, and Kurama helped him up, bringing him over to the door.

"Look in there, Detective."

Yusuke looked into the room, confused as to why Hiei was angry, but once his eyes adjusted, they widened in shock. Anger quickly rose, and his Spirit Energy turned fierce. He moved away from Kurama, his face turning from angry to anguished.

"K-chan… He's hurting you…" He took another step towards the room, but Kurama held him back. Yusuke then noticed a dark shadow floating in the air above Koenma and Sensui. It was watching them, and he could feel a happy emanation coming from it. This enraged him further than anything else that had happened so far.

"No, Kurama! I'm going in there now!"

Hearing the noise, Sensui looked up towards the door, and saw the Tantei. He frowned angrily and got up from where he was. He was fully dressed now, and ready to fight. He left the Sacred Energy binds on Koenma, and tightened them a bit to make sure nobody could break his prize out.

"Let him go, Sensui!" Yusuke yelled angrily.

"And if I don't?" Sensui asked coldly.

"I'll kill you!"

Sensui chuckled. "That would be much easier to believe if you weren't so beaten up from all those demons you fought."

Yusuke growled. "Just try me."

"Yu--suke!"

Both boys turned to look in Koenma, one angry, one worry-stricken.

"Yu-suke…" It was a struggle to talk, but Koenma was trying. "Let-me-handle--it…"

"But you're stuck!" Yusuke said incredulously. "Just let me take care of him!"

Koenma attempted to say more, but Sensui was almost instantly at his side and backhanded him furiously.

"You do not talk!" he instructed heatedly. While he was occupied, Yusuke ran up behind him and landed a punch.

"You don't hit my boyfriend!" he yelled angrily, landing a second punch.

Sensui seemed mildly surprised, and unaffected by the punches.

"You like him?" he asked skeptically. "Why would you love a fool like him?"

"You don't need a reason to love, you just do!" Yusuke snapped. "And he's not a fool!"

"Don't try to make him feel better, Urameshi. He knows what he is. He knows he's worthless."

Yusuke could feel his energy rising, and fast. Sensui was ticking him off. He didn't care about the long cuts on his left arm, leg, and back, which were still bleeding. He didn't care that the rest of the team was watching worriedly from the other side of the door. All he cared about was getting Koenma out of here, and killing Sensui in the process.

"You can't hurt me, Yusuke, and for every punch you land on me, I will hurt your 'boyfriend.'"

Sensui raised a hand, and the Sacred Energy binds on Koenma tightened again, making him whimper. Yusuke felt a tingle, and frowned, looking at his hand. The purple energy was appearing again. Suddenly, he felt a tightening sensation on his wrists and ankles. At first it was just uncomfortable, but it quickly progressed to actual pain.

"I can destroy you from the inside, Urameshi. Because of that last demon you fought and the special powers in its claws, you can feel exactly what your friend here feels. Isn't it amazing what demons can do?"

"…Wait a minute- what I felt earlier, you were doing that to him?"

"Of course. He deserved it. He also got a punishment before then. You didn't feel it."

Yusuke's eyes narrowed in anger. "You did that to him twice?"

Sensui nodded. "Yes, but you can't take your anger out on me, because then I'll punish him, and you'll feel it, getting you nowhere. Face it, Urameshi, I've won."

"…You've- forgotten about-me…"

Sensui spun around, fury in his gaze.

"I-still have- the Mafuukan-"

"You're too drained to activate it!"

"Not if I give him some of my energy!" Yusuke challenged. He opened up the link as best he could, and let his energy flood through. A bright blue light emitted from Sensui's pocket, and he was quickly surrounded by the light. There was a muted yell, and he disappeared, the Mafuukan hitting the floor.

Yusuke hurriedly picked it up, and went over to kneel next to Koenma, who had regained full use of his limbs. He handed it to him, smiling.

"Five second rule."

Koenma gazed at him dazedly, a happy expression on his face.

"Oh, Yusuke…" Koenma gave a soft sigh, and his eyes closed, unconscious. Yusuke put the Mafuukan in his mouth, picked him up carefully, and turned back to face the others.

"You guys wanna go now?"

"What else?" Kurama replied.
