YYF14: Hey, peoples! Finally, the site lets me post again! And OMG, I know what I did wrong.I forgot to put a disclaimer on the last story and this one. I'm not sure if that's why I got frozen for a few days, but I need to fix that. So, I'm going to update the last story's first chapter, and this story's first chapter to put them in. I'm sorry 'bout the lateness. Boy am I glad to be back on! Anyway, I thank the people who reviewed and who have been patient. Well, I'll be quiet now, and you can read the chapter.

Yusuke had only taken two steps, however, before he sensed something strange.

"Guys, something's not right-whoa!"

The floor started to shake, and it cracked in some places, yellow energy coming up from the cracked areas.

"Did you really think I'd be defeated that easily?"

Yusuke spun around, a frustrated look on his face.

"How'd you- We used the Mafuukan on you!"

Sensui shrugged. "True, but it isn't a match for the Sacred Energy when I have a say about it. Now," And here his eyes glinted. "You will get out of my way."

Before Yusuke could do anything, Sacred Energy surrounded him, and he found himself and Koenma on opposite sides of the room, Koenma being next to Sensui, himself being at the door with his friends.

"We still have something to settle," Sensui said lightly. He bent down and took the Mafuukan in his hand, tossing it up in the air a few times.

"Catch," he said simply, tossing it towards Yusuke. Yusuke caught it easily, a confused look on his face.

"I'm giving it to you because you can't activate it on your own, and I don't want to take a chance of him activating it again," Sensui explained. "Even though it can't hurt me, it is irksome getting rid of it. It takes time. Now, leave."

With a swipe of his hand, the door closed, leaving the Tantei stuck out of the room. Kurama inspected the door curiously.

"It seems we're locked out," he remarked. Yusuke made an exasperated noise.

"Just great! We're locked out while he does whatever he wants to… to…" he trailed off, a desperate look on his face. Kurama put a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"It'll be okay, Yusuke. You'll be able to feel what he feels, and so far so good, right?"

"I guess- ow!" Yusuke grabbed his shoulder, clenching his eyes shut.

"So much for that," Hiei stated mildly, coming back from his position at the door. "It seems that Sensui's found a new way to torture your friend, Yusuke."

"I-felt," Yusuke growled out. He felt another sharp sting in his back and bit his lip.

"Ow…" Suddenly, they all heard a loud blunt sound, like metal hitting something semi-soft. There was silence, then simultaneously, two yells of pain were heard. One was from the room, and one was from Yusuke. Kuwabara frowned, upset.

"Urameshi…"

The sound repeated, and following every time, a simultaneous yell from Yusuke and Koenma would be heard. Yusuke eventually fell unconscious from the combined pain of his earlier injuries and Koenma's.

Yusuke could feel himself floating. When he opened his eyes, he realized that he had left his unconscious body, and was now floating above everyone else. He blinked in surprise, but was distracted at the next yell.

"K-chan…" He suddenly found himself floating through the door to the other side. Once he had gotten inside, however, his eyes widened, an expression of mixed shock and anguish on his face. Sensui had a piece of metal that thinned down to a sharp point, and was hitting Koenma with it.

Yusuke floated closer, and noticed another small sharp piece of metal near the tip, and since Koenma had nothing on his upper body, it could dig into his skin, reopening old cuts. Yusuke winced, even though he couldn't feel anything at the moment. It looked painful. At least it was only his upper body that wasn't clothed.

Time seemed to slow down unexpectedly. Sensui had paused for a moment, and Koenma had looked up, and it seemed that he had noticed Yusuke.

But how can he see me? I'm a spirit right now…

"…Yusuke?"

Sensui frowned, following Koenma's gaze.

"There's nothing there, don't be stupid," he snapped, hitting Koenma again. The metal connected with his forehead; both the end and the sharp add-on cut into his skin, making him whimper piteously, tears filling his tightly closed eyes.

"Don't you hurt him!" Yusuke yelled angrily, wishing he could just punch Sensui's lights out so they could all go home.

Koenma was starting to black out, but he tried to hold onto reality.

"Yusuke… help me…"

"You won't go out that easy!" Sensui objected, raising a hand. Sacred Energy surrounded Koenma, bringing him closer to Sensui.

"You're pathetic," Sensui muttered. "You made a stupid mistake, and now you're paying for it. But you want to get away from it all, instead of taking the punishment you deserve for making that kind of mistake. What an idiot. Worthless idiot."

This isn't Shinobu, Yusuke thought, frowning. He's too evil… Wait a minute… It's Kazuya! That's why he's so into torturing! Oh crap. K-chan's in trouble…

The Sacred Energy became more hostile, seeming to get tighter. Seeing this not get a reaction out of Koenma, Sensui growled, hitting him again with the piece of metal. It dug into a particularly nasty bruise on his back, making him cry out again. Sensui laughed, and the energy disappeared, letting Koenma fall to the floor.

"Trying to love did this to you," Sensui said coldly. "You know what to do to prevent it. Now your friends can have you. If they're really even your friends."

He disappeared, and Yusuke found himself being dragged out of the room by some unknown force; he was glad to fade into the oblivion of being unconscious. He hoped it was all a dream.

"Yusuke? You have to wake up now."

Yusuke groaned, sitting up slowly.

"Ugh… I feel like I was run over by a truck…"

"Then it's a familiar feeling."

"Hiei, I'm not in the mood… How's Koenma?"

Kurama shook his head grimly. "Not good. "We're going to have to get back to the temple fast. Genkai is too tired to heal him."

Yusuke sighed, but frowned, sensing someone who he definitely wasn't expecting.

"Kurama, Keiko's here."

"Keiko?" Kurama looked back into the big room, and blinked when he saw a door open on the other side, a person coming out.

"Yusuke? Is that you?"

Yusuke stood, ignoring his injuries. "Keiko, what are you doing here?"

"I'd ask you the same question," Keiko replied, coming over. "This place is so creepy, you wouldn't believe some of the things I've seen-" She stopped, seeing the state everyone was in. "What were you doing?"

"Saving my friend," Yusuke said softly. "He was trapped here by that other guy…"

"I know. I saw. Yusuke, he's your boyfriend. He told me."

Yusuke's eyes widened. "He- told you? You- know?"

"Not everything, but he promised that you two would tell me what it's all about when we got back."

"Okay, but first we have to get back, and make sure he stays alive." Yusuke looked over at where Koenma was lying, shaking his head sadly. There were cuts, some deep and some not all over his upper body, and his forehead was covered in blood.

"Are we gonna be able to get back to the temple in time?" Yusuke asked.

"If we go now, he won't have lost too much blood," Genkai replied. "So let's go."
