Author's Note: Well, here I am with the next chapter of this story. Hey I forgot to tell you guys that I didn't put any characters for this story so that you would think who the "Dragon Slayer" might be, after I posted the right chapter I will also edit the characters part to his name but I think some of you already know the identity of the "Dragon Slayer".

Many thanks to Akari Neko-chan and Gir135246 reviewing and showing interest in this story.

Let's check what's happening with the gang. What are they up to nowadays? Well, we're about to find out. But first………………………

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho. This story I do own and what else…….of course my ideas.

"Why are we training again?," a confused Kaira asked Kurama.

They were in Genkai's temple. The 4 ex-spirit detectives have agreed to train with Genkai and Kaira for……

"Well…," Yusuke began. "The Dark Tournament is coming in 6 months and I didn't win that championship just to defeat Toguro and besides we need to defend our title."

"But why did you invite me and Koenma?," Kaira asked.

"Well, Genkai said that she will not participate in it again and well, Koenma was our fifth fighter in the finals but I would rather let him be our back up unless you know…"

"So I'm your fifth fighter then? Alright this should be fun. But Yusuke isn't the Dark Tournament 6 months from now."

"It's never bad to train you know Kaira.," this time it was Kuwabara who spoke.

"You just want to beat Yusuke into pulp which I highly doubt will happen," Kaira said.

Kuwabara was turning red like a tomato. But before he could respond to Kaira's comment….

"Enough chit chat, if you want to train do it near the finish line of the forest where you had your third test for my tournament. Kuwabara, Yusuke I trust that you both remember that.," Genkai said looking a little irritated at the four fighters.

"Alright, grandma...," Yusuke said, leading the group through the forest.

"Wait!"

"What is it Genkai?," Kurama asked.

Where's Hiei?"

"Oh he said, that Mukuro wanted his help in something. Hiei said that it would have been a much better use of his time but he did say that he'll attend the other practice sessions."

"Well, at least Hiei's coming, unlike Koenma."

"Don't worry Genkai, maybe he just had a lot of paper work to do," Kaira said.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A man with brown hair, wearing light-brown pants, dark-brown shoes, light-blue polo shirt and his head was wrapped in a black cloth (except his eyes) like a ninja(or like Genkai's mask in the Dark Tournament but this time it's black); was standing on a tree near Genkai's temple. He was watching Yusuke and the others walk towards the forest.

"That's odd, I thought Hiei was coming. Well, at least I don't have to worry about him trying to enter my mind and finding out about my identity.," he said. Then he looked over for Genkai.

"I bet she's trying to contact Spirit World with that screen.," he said then he disappeared or was it just he moved so fast that is damn impossible to see.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He was right. Genkai was trying to contact Spirit World with the screen the same as Koenma's; well it was a gift from the prince. It was placed in the same room where she and Yusuke played video games before telling him to find the original spirit detective and seek guidance. Well……..the original human spirit detective.

"George, is Koenma there?," she asked as the screen showed her the little Prince's office.

"Sorry, master Genkai, but I haven't seen him all morning.," the blue ogre responded.

"Well, if you see him tell him that I was expecting him to train with his Mafukkan here in my temple. Alright?," Genkai said.

"Alright, I'll tell him, if I find him though," the ogre said.

Genkai shut the screen off. Then she felt it another person was in the room.

"I know you're there. You do have a great amount of spirit energy that is very detectable," she said before facing the stranger standing right behind her.

"But it's not just spirit energy I feel. It's not any other kind of energy I have encountered, maybe it only lives within you."

"Your spirit awareness is very good, Master Genkai. The other kind of energy you sense is a type of energy that only lives with those like me," he said bowing his head in honor of respect.

"What is it you want? You can't possibly want to train under me, with your power.," she said. "I may be a human but I know you're legendary in the demon world, the only person who defeated the greatest threat of all time. But why do you have to wear a mask?"

"Then you know who I am. I just don't really want to let everyone know my true identity.," he said. He sat down. Genkai did the same. "I may have a large amount of power but when it comes to controlling it I think I can't."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, if you know who I am then you know how I imprisoned Fuzen before but that was an accident. I lost control of my emotions, likewise I lost control over my powers…," he said looking down.

"I need to train to not let my emotions take control, to keep my cool down so that I can thoroughly control my powers. I already talked with King Yama and Koenma. Koenma gave me his place in your training course."

"Humph. It's not really a course but if you want to train under me you should start with the basic."

"What do you mean?," he asked, a little puzzled.

"I want you to fight your classmates and if you defeat them, then I'll start your training."

"Alright, where are they?"

"You have your powers to tell you that not this old woman. But before that I have a question, what are you?"

This question surprised him. Nevertheless, he knew Genkai was wise.

"Well, I am not human and I am not a demon. I was a spirit but I don't know that now. I was once a human before, a spirit but I really don't know; a spirit with this amount of power could be categorized as a…"

"Demon? You can't possibly be. If what you said is true you became a human then you are a spirit but with a countless amount of power."

With that Genkai left the room.

"Still haven't changed, Genkai. Well, at least she doesn't know who I am and didn't fester me about wearing this mask.," he said before disappearing again in light speed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yusuke was sparing with Kaira while Kuwabara was sparing with Kurama. They all were under a very large tree in the middle of a forest.

He, on the other hand was standing on a tree branch high above the tree where the four were sparing.

"There's a big chance that when I fight them, Kaira'll figure out who I am.," he said to himself formulating a plan.

"Maybe you should try another form of fighting," a voice inside his head said.

"What kind of fighting Sui?," he asked the leader of the water dragons.

"The one you were practicing before, instead of using us in our original form, you can form us into weapons."

"Hmmmm. That is a good idea," he said then smiling. "Let's try it out."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Let's stop, I'm tired," Kuwabara said.

"Even though, you are human Kuwabara you still had the strength to keep up with me," Kaira said. They switched partners after the original pairing.

"You're a tough competitor, Yusuke," Kurama said.

"Same as you Kurama. Think grandma will get mad at us if we rested for a little while?," he said lying down on the grass.

"I don't think so," a voice from the trees said.

The four fighters suddenly became alert of their surroundings. They felt the enormous amount of spirit energy from somewhere.

He finally jumped from his hiding place landing on the ground surrounded by the four fighters.

"Who are you and what do you want?," Yusuke's voice was filled with mix emotions. Curiosity, a little anger, a bossy tone and………fear. His senses were never wrong this person holds an amount of power that could kill him and his friends in one swift motion.

"I am here to fight you. Why? I don't know, you should ask Genkai about that.," he said remaining calm.

"Well, if it's a fight you want then it's a fight you'll get," Yusuke said motioning his friends to prepare for a fight.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kurama, Kuwabara and Yusuke were down for the count after a few minutes. The stranger was moving in light speed. He didn't even attack. The three boys wasted the remaining power they had had.

"So I guess it's up to me to defeat you," Kaira said with determination in her voice. "I'm no human, I have no limitations, I will stop you."

"I've heard that before," he thought to himself. "Sorry Kai, but I have to defeat you."

"What are you just going to stand their and think to yourself."

"No, you just dragged me back to earth. Let's finish this," with that he formed a sword with a blue aura coming from his arm.

"I plan to," Kaira said.

He concentrated hard, if he unleashes his Slayer powers then the silver brace with the 100 dragon gems on it will appear on his arm. Then Kaira'll know who he is.

But he successfully did it. Sui, the leader of the water dragons was now a blue sword.

By another minute or two, Kaira was down as well. She tried to have a sword fight with the strange fighter but with her small amount of spirit energy left her elemental weapons evaporated.

"Very well, you've proven to be strong," a voice from behind them said.

"Genkai! Who is this person?," Kurama asked.

"Your classmate while you are training with me," she said.

With that they all headed back to the temple.

"You're a great fighter you know," Yusuke said to him.

Gee, thanks a lot," He replied.

"What's with the mask," Kuwabara asked.

"I'm just a secretive person," he said.

"It was nice fighting with you but I have to go back to Spirit World," Kaira said.

"We all have to go," Kurama said.

"I'll see you, tomorrow then," Genkai said.

"I hope Koenma and Hiei'll be here so that they can meet you," Kaira said to him.

"Uhhh, well I am not sure about Hiei but Koenma's post is already filled by me."

"What he never told me about that, I'll just have to ask him then shall I.," Kaira said storming out.

"Sorry Kai," he thought to himself. "Guess I have to head back now too. Dad sure want to know what happened today."

With that everyone left.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What!"

Hiei's question was heard all over Mukuro's palace.

"It's true Hiei.," Mukuro said.

"Why hasn't spirit world informed the spirit detectives, well ex-detectives," Hiei said.

"Well, I guess Koenma doesn't want you guys involved," Mukuro said.

"Well, I'm making them involved, the Dragon Slayer has disappeared and the four of us will be the only hope," with that said Hiei disappeared.

"I just hope that this time my little godson is prepared for his attack.," Mukuro said.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Author's Note: I am sorry again because I Still haven't revealed the identity of the Dragon Slayer but I no you already know it. I mean I already gave a lot of clues and hints.

Well, anyway in the next chapter we travel into Hiei's life and can the Dragon Slayer take down the fire demon just like the others.

Well let's find out in Chapter 4: The Clash of the Dragons.
