Through The Infernal Gate

By the Evil Cadet

AN: sorry the prologue was so short, I will make this one longer

I thank those who have taken the time to read my story thus far.

However, I cannot fallow through with a few recommendations I got. Sorry, but I do not plan to stop writing and I also plan to live to a ripe old age of 103. So I wont stop writing nor will I die. Sorry!

Also, I am sorry if my spelling is bad, I am only human after all, if albeit an evil one.

I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho or Diablo II, so you lawyer types should be satisfied

Please Read and Review

Chapter One

Yusuke hated having to stay in class, but Kayko had insisted. He groaned. It got worse because one of the teachers whom he hated the most was this classes teacher.

Man, this is just great! I usually skip this class. Darn that Kayko making me stay! Yusuke was glad when an interruption came, but this one proved to be interesting. They were being joined by a new classmate. Hopefully, it would occupy their teacher for awhile.

The new student was a girl whose family had just moved to Japan from America. This should be interesting. Maybe this new American girl can shake things up around here. It sure needs it! Yusuke thought as he grew interested about what the new girl would be like.

When the new girl, Kyra Jones, came in, it was clear that either she had not yet obtained a school uniform, or, that she, like Yusuke, chose not to wear it. She was dressed in khaki cargo pants, with an appropriately matching cami (camouflage) shirt and combat boots. Obviously she was not in a Japanese school uniform. Those clothes were not even in fashion in Japan, but perhaps they were in America.

Kyra was certainly not tall, but short was not a fitting description either. She was more stocky, not average height nor was she skinny. She had well toned muscles for a girl, but she was no bodybuilder either. She had brown hair that went a few inches past her shoulders and was done up in a messy pony tail. Her eyes were a dark brown, typical.

It was obvious the moment she walked through the door that the teacher had already taken a disliking to her undoubtedly just because of the way she was dressed. His face turned into an even nastier sneer than the one he always wore when he stared at her. Kyra, however, either did not notice this or decided to pretend not to notice.

"Ah, yes class, this is Kyra Jones, your new classmate. She and her family just moved here from the United States. Kyra? Would you be so kind as to take the seat next to Yusuke? He is the one in the green." The teacher said with a sneer on his face. Kyra said nothing and went to take her seat.

"Kyra, huh? Well, welcome to Japan. I'm Yusuke if you already didn't get that from the teacher." Yusuke said in a way of introducing himself. "Nice to meet you I am sure, Yusuke. My foster parents moved here with business, so I have no real option. Sucks being an orphan, people look down on you, and you just never seem to belong anywhere." Kyra said in reply, and then she suddenly snapped "No! Of coarse I wasn't thinking about that, you jerks!" to absolutely no one in particular.

She paused, looking embarrassed and apologizing for her sudden unusual out burst, and turned away in a muttered argument with apparently several nonexistent people. Okay, that was weird. I guess being an orphan can make some people a little off in the head. Yusuke thought in confusion.

Several more times throughout class she would snap out loud to nobody, like snapping "Shut up!" when the class was completely quiet. Each time, she grew embarrassed and apologized, and went back to her muttered argument with no one in particular. It was pretty much decided that the girl was crazy.

Later After School

===+++===

After school Yusuke joined up with Kuwabara and Kayko. They were all in agreement that the new girl was disturbed, if not crazy. That was soon forgotten when an unusually not cheerful and worried Botan showed up and hauled both Yusuke and Kuwabara off, without any real explanation, to Spirit World.

It was soon clear that the Spirit World staffs were in the same state of worry that, in some cases here and there, was bordering on panic. Botan continued dragging the two boys to Koenma's office. The 'toddler' seemed to be just as, if not more worried than Botan was. Yusuke spotted Kurama and Hiei, both were just looking as equally confused as he felt.

"Okay, could somebody PLEASE explain why everyone looks like someone just prophesied the end of the world? What the heck is going on, Koenma, that you have Botan hauling us here without any explanation? Kayko is going to be pissed at me when I get back!" was Yusuke's typical, impolite, demand for an explanation.

Koenma simply replied, "I will make this as short and as simple as possible. The fact is, we have just received word, and weather it is mere rumor or serious fact, we still don't know, that the Three may be rising and making a return. As I said, we do not know if it is fact or rumor, BUT, when it is the Three you are talking about, there is NO such thing as being to cautious."

Hiei and Kurama looked very startled, alarmed, and soon as worried as Botan and Koenma. Yusuke and Kuwabara an the other hand… "Hey, uh, I've got a question? What are these three and why is it so bad? I don't get it." Kuwabara asked, voicing the questions that were on both his and Yusuke's minds.

"The Three were three demon Lords, brothers in fact, and extremely powerful ones at that. They were, in order from oldest to youngest, Mephisto, Lord of Hate, Baal, Lord of Destruction, and Diablo, Lord of Terror. They were extremely powerful individually, but combined, it was true chaos. I trust you still remember the two Toguro brothers you battled just last week to rescue Yukina? Well, those two combined don't hold a match next to the inferno of Hell when compared to a single one of these Three.

"They ruled your world, Spirit World, and Hell together in a time of chaos from which all three worlds still have scars. It was essentially erased from history in your world, all evidence it ever happened has been lost or destroyed.

"They were powerful and virtually immortal as far as their spirits were concerned. True, their physical bodies could be killed, though that is a very hard task to accomplish. Together, they also could open portals from Hell to the other two worlds. These portals were known as Infernal Gates, which only they could open.

They were eventually defeated, and then imprisoned for hopefully the rest of time. Do you now see why any word concerning them is to be taken so seriously?" Koenma sat back in his chair, needing to think after telling them just who the Three were.

Kuwabara and Yusuke were left speechless at the thought of a foe as powerful as Koenma had just described. Then Yusuke grew annoyed. "Okay, I can see how the chance that those guys scares you all so much, but I hope you are not expecting us to fight them. I mean, give me a break! We just barely managed to defeat the Toguro brothers, so how can possibly stand a chance against just one of the Three?"

Koenma sighed, replying, "I don't expect you to fight them and win if it is indeed true, Yusuke. Just warning you to be on your guard and look for any info in your world, and prepare should our worst nightmares come true."

Yusuke sighed, thinking, Oh this is just great! First insane new girl in class, now the chance that the end of the world is at hand. Man, I sure hope it is nothing but a rumor, `cause I can't handle something this big!

All right, now that was better. Much longer than last chapter.

Next Chapter: Just who is it that Kyra keeps arguing with? Does this average, if slightly crazy, American raised orphan girl have a secret? And are the Three really coming back? Well, stay tuned and review for the next chapter!

And by the way, I hope you will all be so kind as to take an extra minuet to review!
