YYF14: Well, this is the last chapter. I hope you guys have liked this story. I'll post the first chapter of the next one tomorrow. You'll find out what it'll be about halfway through this one if you haven't figured it out yet. So... Since there's nothing else to say, R&R, peoples!
Later that afternoon, around four, Botan came back from Spirit World, and of course wanted to know all that had gone on. She was delighted to hear that Yusuke had helped Koenma through another problem. She did warn him, though, that even though Koenma was more open with his feelings now, he would still be scared from what had happened with Sensui and Yusuke had to be careful.
-----
It was near the end of July, and even though the rest of the group had left, Yusuke was still at the temple so he could watch Koenma. He was making good progress in opening up his feelings, and he hadn't had many nightmares. However, that night, they struck harder than ever before.
It had been a tiring day, and both boys had fallen asleep quickly. But around midnight, Yusuke woke to a whimpering sound. He looked up from his place on the floor, frowning. (He was on the floor because Koenma's injuries made it difficult for him to find a comfortable sleeping position, and he didn't want to disturb Yusuke with his tossing and turning.)
"Koenma? You okay?" Yusuke mumbled. He got up and sat on the edge of the bed.
"K-chan?"
Yusuke was now nervous and discouraged. Koenma was obviously having a nightmare, and whenever he woke from one, he would be impossibly shy. He would never talk, and would be afraid to do anything related to love.
"Koenma?" Yusuke shook Koenma's shoulder. Koenma flinched away, and Yusuke saw the Mafuukan start to activate.
"K-chan, no!"
Yusuke took the Mafuukan, wincing as the little bit of Spirit Energy cut his hand.
Koenma's expression became scared, and tears started forming in his closed eyes.
"Yusuke…"
He whimpered, and Yusuke blinked in surprise; a cut on Koenma's cheek that had almost healed was open again.
"How'd that happen?" Yusuke demanded of no one. "Oh, why won't he wake up?"
Koenma made another whimpering noise, and Yusuke felt the link open, excruciating pain filling his body.
"K-chan, wake up!" Yusuke said urgently. He winced as what felt like fire swiped across his back and arms. This was probably the most violent of all the nightmares so far.
Yusuke had no clue of what to do, but then he got an idea.
Okay, if I can use the link to talk to him while he's asleep or something like that…
He concentrated on the link, and once he felt it open, he jumped right in.
K-chan! You have to wake up! It's just a dream!
"Yu…suke…" Yusuke smiled.
Yeah, it's me. Just calm down. I know it hurts, I can feel it too, but you have to trust me and relax. Tell yourself it's just a dream, and you'll wake up.
Yusuke sighed in relief as Koenma visibly relaxed, and the pain went away. Koenma opened his eyes and sat up slowly.
"You okay now?" Yusuke asked softly. Koenma nodded, but then winced and put a hand on his arm.
"Ow… it stings…" Yusuke frowned.
"What? Your arm hurts?"
"Yeah… My arm and my back… and my cheek…" Koenma put a hand to his cheek and looked at it. His eyes widened as he saw his hand covered in blood.
"Yusuke, what happened?"
Yusuke shook his head. "I don't know. All I know is, I woke up 'cause you were having a nightmare, and I was trying to wake you up, and then that cut on your cheek opened up."
Koenma stayed silent.
"Did you dream about what happened with Sensui?" Yusuke asked gently.
"…Yes, but I don't know why the wounds opened up again, unless…" he trailed off, a scared look appearing on his face. "Yusuke, what if he's coming back?"
"I hope he's not… C'mon, let's bandage those cuts and then try to go back to sleep. It's not much after midnight."
-----
The next morning, the two were visited by Botan. As Yusuke informed her about last night, she seemed to be thinking hard about something.
"Well, if Sensui is really coming back, which is one possibility, then maybe you two should start that other mission that Enma-sama was talking about."
"What mission?" Yusuke asked warily.
"You two will be attending a school in England that teaches magic.(A:N:I know I've done a crossoverlike this before,but I wanted to try it again. It's fun.) It's only for one year, but Enma-sama wants you two to see what it is like. Genkai will be coming, too, just in case you two get yourselves into trouble."
"A school?" Yusuke said incredulously. "Why do we have to go to a school?"
"Well, first off, as I've said, Enma-sama wants you two to see what the 'magical world' is like. I'm not sure why, though, but we might be working with wizards eventually, and he probably wants some people in Reikai with expertise. Second, since Sensui might be coming back, you two will be safe there until Sensui can be taken care of."
Yusuke shrugged. "Fine. As long as it's only for one year. It does end in June, right?" he asked suspiciously. Botan nodded.
"The year begins September first, and you go home on June first. However, you'll have to go to England on August first so you will have enough time to get all of your supplies and get used to the magical world."
Yusuke shrugged again, resigned, and he went back inside to tell Koenma what would be happening.
-----
On August first, the two boys met with Botan and Genkai in front of the temple, ready to go to England.
"Wait a minute, Botan," Yusuke objected. "Don't we have to know how to speak English?"
"That's already arranged," Botan said brightly. "Once you get there, the person who owns the inn where you'll be staying will perform a spell on you that will enable you to speak both English and Japanese for the year. Once June first or second rolls around, it's back to solely Japanese for you… well, except for Koenma-sama. Since he's not human, he already knows English, so it's only you and Genkai, Yusuke. Now, I'll see you two in June, but you can call me on the communication mirror if you really need to."
She then created a portal, and the three stepped through, exiting in front of the Leaky Cauldron in England.
YYF14: Well, that's it. Hope you guys liked this story, and I think you'll like the next one. I was reading the last crossover I did, and I realized that I left out things and I dropped things, and I want to have a story where I INCLUDE things, not just pass them by because I get stuck. I'm already fairly far, so you won't be having many long waits. Man, I'm so glad I'm getting back into the days where I can update daily- like the first few fics I did. Anyway, see you tomorrow, and review if you wish!
