SailorStar9: Wow, and another chapter goes up. This is Chapter 41 and begins the Three Kings Saga. Read and review.
Taeniaea: (Raises eyebrow) A little too much sugar yes?
Disclaimers: YYH, Magic Knight Rayearth and Sailor Moon aren't mine.
Chapter Summary: Yusuke Urameshi suffers from a recurring nightmare that he just can't shake. Is this a mere inconvenience? Or are there deeper meanings hidden behind the bizarre occurrences? Genkai sends Yusuke to the home of a former Spirit Detective. But what he doesn't know is that someone knows his destination...and more about his past than he ever thought possible!
Chapter 41: Yusuke's Destiny
Dream sequence
Yusuke found himself bound to the ground with numerous dead bodies surrounding him.
"Hey even if you lose, you don't have to lose this badly!" he screamed.
End of Dream sequence
"On the surface, I wasn't punished." Koenma admitted.
Right now, Koenma and Yusuke were in a café in the human world.
"But we can't be too careless. I know my father is still up to something."
"Still trying to eliminate me? Isn't this more interesting?" Yusuke scoffed.
"I was getting bored."
"Do you regret it?" Koenma asked.
"What?" Yusuke questioned.
"Returning to the human world." Koenma elaborated.
Yusuke thought for a while and answered, "A little empty that's all. But no matter where I am, there's bound to have something unsatisfying."
Now, the two were walking on the street.
"Talk to Genkai." Koenma suggested. "She'll probably help you find the answer."
"I don't think so." Yusuke sweatdropped.
"Whining at your age? It's your business, not mine!" Genkai retorted when Yusuke came to see her.
Right now, the two were playing video games.
See what I mean? Yusuke wondered, most probably to Koenma's suggestion.
"Even if you hate everything in this world, and thinking of destroying everything, I have no power to stop you." she added.
"How could you say that!" Yusuke protested.
Darn, I lost again! he mentally added.
"People will destroy things due to their emotions; like toys, lovers, family and even country. Before you destroy these , come here and take my life first." she grinned.
"Idiot! I've never thought of that!" Yusuke griped.
"I certainly hope so." Genkai replied and tossed him a piece of paper.
"And what's this address for?" he asked.
"Sutou Kuroko's address. She the first generation Spirit Detective. Her strength is closer to yours than mine is. Consider her experience." she advised.
"Urameshi!" came the teacher's roll call.
Getting no answer, he sighed, "Absent again?"
"Someone once said that once an apple is rotten, the rest of the apples in the crate will rot as well. But students remember that you're not apples, but humans. I want you to consider the trash of this calls as non-existent." the teacher announced.
"Hn." Kuwabara snorted.
"Darn, why do I feel like I'm delivering something in secret?" Yusuke complained as he looked at the unfamiliar surroundings.
"So, she's in the mountains?" he guessed.
Stepping onto the pathway, he noticed piles of bones scattered all around.
Two auras. Yusuke noted mentally.
Before he could react, two shadows appeared before him.
"Children?" Yusuke exclaimed in disbelief.
"Another demon who wants to kill mum!" the boy announced.
"You're far too weak for my mum to deal with you!" the girl hissed.
"If you two want to play Superhero, then go somewhere else." Yusuke told them.
"Don't deny it!" the girl screamed and the two children attacked.
Yusuke easily dodged each punch thrown at him.
"Idiot!" the boy hissed, letting another punch fly.
Yusuke merely leapt over his head, causing the girl to kick her brother.
Yusuke landed on a tree branch above the two siblings and began teasing them.
Angered, the two children powered up a combination attack.
"The two of you stop it!" a stern voice scolded.
"I stopped!" the girl rose her hand.
"Mum!" the boy protested.
"Yusuke I presume? Genkai's told me you were coming." Sutou Kuroko said.
"Senior Kuroko I take it." Yusuke noted.
"I'm sorry. I taught the two of them to attack once they feel Spirit Energy. But don't worry, once they remembered your face, they won't attack again." Sutou reassured.
"So the 'evil dog' sign outside refers to…." Yusuke blinked.
"Yup, it refers to these two. They're fiercer than dogs." Sutou quipped.
"And the bones on the way up?" Yusuke prompted.
"Most probably the demons." Sutou replied.
"Urameshi Yusuke. What a strange name." Sutou's daughter remarked, once Yusuke was shown into the house.
When the two children were finally tucked into bed, Sutou began to get serious.
"I've met Sensui before." she admitted.
"One look and I can tell how strong he really is."
Kuroko offered to do a palm reading for Yusuke.
After a few seconds, Kuroko began, "You don't have any qualms right now. But you feel that you're always in danger of some sort. If you start acting upon your emotions, then don't act unnecessarily when you're confused. Because danger will always look for you, whether you like it or not."
"Bingo." a shadow outside the house noted.
Then Sutou felt something.
"Visitors at this hour?" Yusuke frowned.
The doorbell was rang and three bald men entered the house.
SailorStar9: Not much action here, just lots of talking.
