Author's Note: Well, this would be my final chapter for the year 2007 and I sure hope that this would be a meaningful chapter for this story.

Sorry by the way for the delay, I know this chapter was suppose to be posted last December 17, but this week was a very hectic week for me that is; I had final exams for the quarter and well a Christmas party was just a god reward for all.

Well, this chapter is my Christmas present to all of you and if you read my other Author's Note at the end of this chapter you'll find another Christmas present so well enjoy reading guys.

Thanks to setokaibaceo for the review as always.

Again, for those who still have interest in this story thanks as always.

Now for this chapter…..

Leadership is a special skill and to be chosen as the leader of your team sure is an honor. Well for Shima and Yusuke it isn't actually an honor because leadership is already painted in their blood. The only problem is that their ancestors were fighting for the same territory……..

Well, here's Chapter 13 for you guys, enjoy!

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

"Hmmm."

"What's with the 'hmmm' Koenma?" Kaira asked her brother who was eyeing the files of Shima and Yusuke.

"Well I have no particular clue to what is the connection between Yusuke and Shima," Koenma said becoming more curious to what is between the two leaders of the teams. "Well I am most certain that Shima is the leader of Fuzen's elite team, just like Yusuke is the leader of the Spirit Detectives."

"Well, you could stop stalling and open their files already to find out?" Kaira said knowing that she annoyed her big brother more.

"All right already stop being such a pain in the neck already," Koenma said opening their files.

Koenma read their files for about a minute when he exclaimed: "What the? This can't be possible?"

"What? 'What can't be possible'?" Kaira said, stunned at her brother's outbreak.

"Here," Koenma handed her the files. "It seems that Shima and Yusuke's ancestors were fighting for the same demon territory to rule over. Demon World History says that these two demon tribes were actually united before but Raizen's father seek to stop demons from wreaking havoc in Human World and that is where the outbreak began."

"But these tribes….aren't they the ones that was suppose to have a destined child that would become the King of all Kings in Demon World." Kiara said.

"Well, I presume that the destined child was Yusuke but he didn't actually become the King of all Kings, he just united the Demon World territories into one Demon World."

But there was still something missing. Koenma assumed that Yusuke and Shima's connection could be more than just that. The other connections hold a grudge with one another Yusuke and Shima's just couldn't be more than that. Kaira thought of the same thing.

"This just couldn't be it. I mean all the other connections seemed to hold a grudge with the other, you know seeking revenge." Kaira said.

"Well may be there's more to it than in this files."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, there's another video tape in Shima's files, looks like there's another clue to it." Koenma said.

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

"So this Yusuke person is here in Demon World?"

"Yes, my lord. If he is here when Raizen dies, then their tribe still holds this territory," one of Shima's men said.

Shima's tribe set up their home in a patched land in one of the forest near Raizen's tower.

One of the elder members of the tribe entered Shima's tent.

"Excuse us for a moment," Shima said.

"That boy is a treat to our plans, Shima." The elder member said. "This is our time to rule the territory, your time to be the King of all Kings in this world."

Shima stood from where he was sitting, a chair that much looked like a throne for a king.

"I am not the King of all Kings, I already know my place as the right hand man of the rightful King," Shima said turning to the elder.

"Shima, Fuzen is long gone. Besides he is not part of the tribe that was destined to be the rightful ruler but you are."

"I am not." Shima said calmly. "My place is not here. This tribe has been holding me back to what my place truly is." After saying that, his fellow teammates entered his tent. "Find another one that is worth your dreams because I am not anymore wasting my life to a dream that is not mine to begin with. But I will do this tribe a favor; I will kill this new leader of the territory you seek so that you will again conquer what is rightfully yours." He exits his tent along with Ashiki, Kagai and Yagan. He leaves the tribe and has never been see again after that.

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

"Hmmm, so that's what happened but it still isn't enough," Kaira said.

"Well, I think it's not finished," Koenma said searching for a file in his table drawer.

"What are you looking for?" Kaira asked.

"The file on Shima's tribe."

"Why?"

Koenma found the file. He remembered reading that the tribe has just been recently killed by other demons in Makai. Koenma read the file and he was in fact correct but the demons who exterminated the tribe were the demons who serve Raizen.

"Listen to this Kaira. Shima's tribe was killed by demons from Raizen's territory," Kaira was shocked to hear that. "But the operation was done after Raizen died, Yusuke knew about it."

"Koenma, you shouldn't jump to conclusion, I mean----″

"Kaira, Yusuke didn't return to Ningenkai for about 3 years, what else could he have done in Makai for that long."

"Well if you stop and thought for a moment you would also realize that the tape isn't finish yet, so stop talking and just listen."

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

Shima heard the news about the attack on his tribe, he had forgotten about the promise he had made after he left because of the news that Fuzen could return any time.

He went back to the last place he knew his tribe was and he found the thing he was dreading the most.

All the demons from his tribe were lying on the ground. Some were burned very badly, others were cut in half. It was a graveyard of a war.

Shima couldn't believe his eyes to what he abandoned and to what he had forgotten. He knelt down and tears filled his eyes.

"I will kill this Yusuke and swear to make him pay for what he did. I will not just kill him but torture his soul, he will never find peace, and he will suffer all eternity for what he has done."

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

"What did you do?" Yusuke shouted to Raizen's subordinates. He came back to Raizen's territory to find his ancestor's subordinates.

"What? What do you mean?" one of them asked.

"You told me about the tribe that my ancestors fought with to rule this territory and I found their camp or whatever it is their destroyed and all the other demons dead." Yusuke in rage said, his spirit and demon energy surrounding his body.

"It was certainly not our fault," Hakushin said, the leader of Raizen's subordinates that challeneged Yusuke back when they were in Human World. "But we knew about the attack. People in this territory praised Raizen, and when they found out that all hope was not lost when you arrive, they figured that this tribe would still rule but…"

"They found out that I am half-human, so what they figured that I wasn't strong enough to rule this territory."

"Would you have given the choice?"

"Of course I wouldn't."

"Then what the people here, in this territory did was not their fault, they disposed of the tribe in fear that they might lose their land. All of us didn't foresee what you were planning to merge Demon World."

"Still what happened is unforgivable, that fued about who get's this territory was over and yet you still atacked the village, you let innocent demons die because of a piece of land."

"We didn't know what the future holds for us and for all demons here."

Yusuke sighted.

"Yusuke, I admit we should have stoped that operation but we were afraid to what might happen."

"Well, past is in the past, still what happened is never going to leave me. One of the tribe memebers could still be alive and well if he seeks revenge I will not back down."

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

Koenma heaved a sign of relief.

"I really thoguht that Yusuke---″

"But he didn't, we should tell yusuke that Shima is after him. I mean we should all tell them," Kaira said.

"I guess you're right. You go on ahead to Genkai's temple. I still hav something to do here, I'll just follow." Koenma said.

"Alright." Kaira left Koenma sitting on his chair facing his table.

"There is still one missing, I don't know what Fuzen's elite team have in store for me and Kaira but what about Genkai?" Koenma thought. "Surely enough, when Dad showed us these files, he had mean also Genkai has a connection with the newest member of the elite."

Koenma stood from his chair and was about to leave for Genkai's Temple when he realized something.

"That has got to be the case! Fuzen's team must have released him to fight against Genkai," Koenma thought. "Take it easy Koenma, you are not entirely sure about this." Koenma then realized something that would either prove he was right or prove that he was wrong. "I just hope that I am wrong about this one, well I have to go now so that I wouldn't rraise suspicion on Kaira."

With that Koenma set off to the cave where someone has been trap ever since Yusuke's last case.

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

Author's Note:Well, I know this chapter is a little confusing. Especially the last part about Genkai's opponent in Fuzen's Elite Team but that would be answered on the next chapter.

For the next chapter, genkai's opponent would be revealed and we all know their connection already or we think we do but what is the real story between Genkai and ?

Well, see yah guys next year to find out.

Hey, what's this?

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

He was being dragged by demons he had never seen before to a cell under the enormous castle he sneeked into.

When he thrown inside the cell, he questioned himself for taking the toddler's case in the first place.

"Koenma! I know you can watch me from that screen of yours, get me out of here so that I can personally beat you to oblivion!"

Then he heard someone from the cell to his left.

"I think that is imposible Hiei, because I am stuck in a cell right next to yours."

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

Well here's a little preview for my upcoming story, entitled "The Black Dragon Sword"

With Hiei as the main character. The first chapter as I have said in previous chapters will be posted on January 1, 2008 so stay tuned.

So guys have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
