Saria: Nova? No-va?! Ok, I don't think that Nova is going to be with us
today...
Tori: I don't see why she gets special treatment.
Zas and SA: (grab Tori and throw her into a closet) Because she has connections!!!! We went over this already!
Zas: Besides, she's taking a nap right now. (tries to run to next room)
Saria: (is holding SA's mallet) Oh no you don't! You are to keep a watch out for that Army woman that keeps running by the window screaming that her troops aren't loud enough! (brandishes mallet angrily) Besides, I don't trust you.
SA: --' Now she's acting somewhat like me. Oh well, hey, wait a minute, give me back my mallet!
Tori: (just got out of the closet) Uhhh...(sweatdrop) I think now is a good time to start the fic.

Karasu's grip was impossible for Yusuke to break without getting half her hair ripped out, so she followed as best as she could, intent on not being thrown in front of Toguro half bald. The grip didn't get any looser as they descended; in fact Karasu seemed to tighten his hold several times.
His hand relaxed somewhat once they exited the stairwell and his hand went to her neck instead. Yusuke groaned inwardly at this, it meant that Karasu had every intention of taking revenge for yesterday. Karasu was probably going to do something the first chance he got, and it was probably going to involve bombs. Thankfully, he didn't do anything as they moved down a hall that led to Toguro's private areas. It would be the first time Yusuke had been back there.
Karasu dropped his hand from Yusuke's neck at the end of the hall and knocked on the door that was on the left side of the hall. The only reply was that the door opened slightly, just enough for Karasu to shove Yusuke through the door.
Looking around her, not daring to move from the spot where she now stood, Yusuke felt a slight rush of homesickness. This was obviously an antechamber, and it looked a lot like Takenaka's office back at school. The main similarity was the desk, it looked exactly like his, she should know, she'd been in his office almost everyday she had showed up for school. A grim smile stretched the sides of her mouth slightly, but died quickly. Most smiles did by now, after two months of imprisonment and enslavement.
On the left, a door opened and Toguro entered carrying a small sack in his hands which he promptly threw at her. Yusuke caught it without thinking, but didn't bother to look at it, it couldn't be anything good.
Toguro was already behind the desk by the time Yusuke had caught the object and looked back at him. Giving her what seemed like a berating look, he began, "I'm not going to kill you now, Yusuke. Relax." But Yusuke couldn't relax, not in front of her enslaver. This was the guy who had had the nerve to come and tear her away from everything that she had known, enslaved her, and now he was telling her to relax?
"To tell you the truth, Yusuke, last night I honestly thought of killing you. Then again, considering what I've put you through, how could I not expect that you would eventually get yourself intoxicated? However, this is the only time that I will excuse such behavior, from now on you are to act like an adult and make better decisions."
Yusuke could hardly keep herself from gaping at the demon before her. He had taken away her freedom, forced her into this horrible situation, and now telling her she needed to grow up? She'd handled this like an adult so far, or at least as adult-like as a 14 year old could be. She hadn't even complained so far, unlike at Genkai's where she had complained about every little thing.
Unabashed, Toguro continued with his mini-speech. "From now on, you are forbidden to have alcoholic beverages. Now take those clothes and get dressed, I want to leave for the tournament in the next half hour."
Remembering the bundle that she'd caught earlier, Yusuke quickly pulled it open and found the strangest clothes she'd ever seen. In a way, they reminded her of Genkai's outfit, but these were longer, and made from a light green fabric with a red belt and border. There were also some white underclothes and black fighting shoes. Daring to speak for the first time, she asked simply, "What are these?"
"Female fighting clothes. And don't tie your hair up when you put them on."
Yusuke nodded quietly before she left as Toguro dismissed her. He wanted her to go fight in the tournament looking like a girl. And as for the hair down comment, she had a feeling that he just didn't want to have to look at the scar on her neck from where his brother had sliced her hair off.
----------
30 minutes later
Yusuke quickly fumbled the second "shoe" onto her foot as she hopped slightly down the stairs. The clothes hadn't been difficult to figure out how they were supposed to go, but the belt, you practically needed an instruction booklet with pictures to figure out how it was supposed to be tied. In the end, she had to seek help from a Bui who had actually laughed when he saw her predicament.
She had barely cleared the stairs before Toguro appeared in the hallway meaning they were leaving. Beside her, Bui, once again wearing his armor, stood stock still as Toguro passed before each of them, as though adding them up. She watched as he actually stopped in front of Karasu and told him to turn out his pockets and empty the small bag he was carrying.
As Yusuke watched, Karasu pulled out his pockets showing that they were empty. His bag however, was a treasure trove, to a horny man. Yusuke watched, horrified, as the "reading material" from the kitchen (porno magazines for you who couldn't figure it out), safety objects (condoms), and a toothbrush were removed from the bag (with a blush from Karasu). Toguro confiscated everything except the toothbrush, shaking his head slightly in disgust, speechless.
Bui's bag consisted of two toothbrushes, a comb, and a romance novel (dime novel smut!). Yusuke couldn't see any blush from him, but no one else saw this as weird. Karasu glared slightly though when Toguro only lifted his eyebrows but handed the book back to Bui, thinking better than to ask where Bui got the novel in the first place.
Yusuke then realized she didn't have anything save for the clothes on her back. Bui chose that moment to lean over and whisper that the second toothbrush was for her. Yusuke winced, hoping he hadn't previously used the toothbrush.
Elder Toguro appeared from the kitchen then, also carrying a bag, cackling at Yusuke. Yusuke shivered, stared at the bag momentarily wondering what he had in there, until he jumped onto his brothers back.
Toguro instantly turned and headed toward the door, smiling slightly as he heard his brother murmur quietly in his ear, low enough so that none but he were supposed to hear. "She looks exactly Genkai did in that outfit. Good enough to eat." At that Toguro frowned.
Yusuke heard the last comment however, and huffed slightly and stopped, knowing better than to strike out. Yeah, it took a lot to not strike out. Bui actually noticed the tensing, quickly grabbed her shoulder, and pushed her along. The Toguros never knew that she had stopped or heard them, which was probably for the best.
They exited the fortress and the group approached a hummer that Yusuke recognized as the vehicle that had been parked in front of her apartment complex. It must have been how they got her here. Biting her lip slightly, she swallowed some bile that had risen in the back of her throat as she climbed into the vehicle as everyone else shoved their bags into the back. Unsurprisingly, she got stuck in the middle when Bui and Karasu climbed in.
They hadn't even been on the road ten minutes before they turned onto a busy highway. Staring out the windows, Yusuke suddenly got a great idea for how to entertain herself. Turning to Karasu intently, ...
----------
SA: Huh? Where's the rest? Dot dot dot usually means there's more, where is it?!?!?
Saria: Sorry, I got writers block. Someone keeps playing that damn Brittany Spears song. I can't concentrate!
Everyone Else: (stare at Nova who is jamming with her headphones on, but they're not plugged in)
Zas: (hits Nova with a 50 pound mallet)
SA: (turns off radio)
Tori: Some equality at last!
Saria: (shrugs) Wait, there it is! Thank god that person came to their senses! Back to the fic!
----------
Turning to Karasu intently, Yusuke whispered, "Karasu!"
His answer was an irritated, "What?"
"SLUG BUG!! NO SLUG BACKS!" she screamed as she hit Karasu hard on the arm.
In the front seat, the elder Toguro roared with laughter, the younger looked back, gave Karasu a warning glance that screamed "NO BOMBS!" and "You blow this car up, I'm pulling over." before turning up the radio. Bui didn't do anything.
Karasu gave Yusuke a very nasty stare down that left her trembling slightly. He then turned back toward the window. Yusuke stared at the floor, occasionally giving Karasu a paranoid look.
About ten minutes later, after silence had reigned the car, Bui piped up, "Mail truck," as he slugged Yusuke's arm, leaving a large red spot and sending her crashing into Karasu, crushing him against the door. Karasu, feeling his bubble being invaded, shoved her back into Bui, who pushed her right back into Karasu harder than before.
This backseat tennis went on for a good four minutes before Yusuke yelled out in pain. The elder Toguro instantly turned to rescue his princess and pulled her into the front seat with him.
"Wait! I like it back there! Let me go!" Yusuke yelled in disgust as she pushed herself back into the backseat. Karasu and Bui instantly slid several inches away from her, as if she were dirty. The younger Toguro hadn't bothered to take his eyes off the road.
A few seconds later, Yusuke called out, "I need to go to the bathroom!"
The younger answered, "Hold it."
"I really need to use the bathroom." Yusuke said.
"Hold it," he replied, sounding more irritated than before.
"Nothing would make me more happy than to use the bathroom."
The younger Toguro yelled, "Hold it!" yet again, making Yusuke sit back in her seat, staring ahead. The other brother then turned his head and looked at Yusuke thoughtfully.
Yusuke noticed him looking at her and declared as she started to turn green, "I think I'm going to be sick!"
This last comment caused Bui and Karasu to instantaneously crush themselves against the doors at the same time they yelled, "PULL OVER!" in unison.
The hummer came to a screeching halt at the side of the road and Bui and Karasu ran from the vehicle like madmen. Yusuke, however, made a dive for the nearby bushes. The Toguros also left the vehicle, the elder starting to move toward Yusuke only to be stopped by his brother.
"Go find Karasu and Bui and tell them to come back. I have some business I need to attend to since we're stopped," he stated as he moved toward the tree line. The older simply shrugged and went to find the two missing demons. Watching girls throw up wasn't any fun anyway, though making them throw up was often times fun.
Several seconds later, Yusuke extracted herself from the bushes, feeling a strong need for the toothbrush that Bui had brought for her, and some soap of course. Seeing no one around, she headed toward the hummer, hoping that one of the bags contained the items she sought.
Jumping back into the back seat, she began to rummage through the bags from the seat. She'd have to ask Bui which toothbrush was hers when he came back. Pulling out yet another bag, she noticed it was a bit heavier than the others. As she flipped open the bag, Karasu and Bui reappeared outside the vehicle and lingered outside. Tossing Bui his bag, she asked him to please retrieve the toothbrush.
Pulling open the other bag, she looked into the bag, her face suddenly lost all color, and her eyes blazed as she spotted the elder Toguro staring at the bush she'd just been in. She instantly launched the bag out of the vehicle, spilling the contents (pornographic devices, beverages, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and safety objects) all over the ground. Karasu and Bui both looked up as Yusuke took a running leap out of the car straight for the elder brother. Bui dropped his bag instantly and grabbed onto Yusuke's shoulder, but his grip slipped. Had Karasu not grabbed her around the waist, she would have tried to massacre the elder Toguro (the key word being TRIED).
Bui pushed the now screaming Yusuke back into the car, pinning her against the seat with Karasu's help. A moment later, the two were ripped off her by the backs of their necks. With her new found freedom, Yusuke attempted her attack only to smash face first into the younger Toguro's chest and knocking herself unconscious.
"What was happening here?" Toguro sounded peeved.
"Uh...she was trying to escape!" Bui offered.
"I'll deal with you guys after the tournament." Toguro said as his brother sealed and replaced a black bag into the vehicle. The younger dropped both slaves then, and grabbed Yusuke, carrying her to the front seat as everybody silently got into the vehicle, the elder brother making sure Yusuke's head rested on his shoulder.
----------
2 hours later...
Yusuke stirred slightly before her eyes opened wide as she sat stock straight as she realized whose shoulder her head had been resting on. Then she let out one of the worst screams that any of the others in the car had ever heard, at least until the younger Toguro reached over and "helped" her out by means of a hard fist to the noggin.
-----------
2 hours later (on the boat to Hanging Neck Island)...
Yusuke jerked awake, feeling just a little sick, as the surface beneath her swayed slightly. Looking around, she found that she was on a boat and that they were swiftly approaching an island. The younger Toguro appeared next to her a moment later, looking as though he were protecting her. The elder was no where in sight.
Sighing, she leaned back against the railing behind her and waited as the boat drew nearer to the island.
----------
The three gathered once more, intent on waiting for the moment that was right. Reaching out with their minds, they found Yusuke's mind was more heavily guarded than ever.
"I thought this tournament was supposed to weaken her defenses," one stated.
"Patience," another replied, "this tournament hasn't even begun yet. It will start tomorrow; she will eventually crumble, once she is forced to kill. Still, it is unsettling that she seems to be more attuned to our presence lately."
"It is not us that has put her on high guard," contradicted the aged voice. "Something has scared her in a way that Toguro never could. She is terrified right now, so she is guarding herself. But from what?"
---------- Saria: Well, how was that?
Nova: That hurt.
Saria: The story you idiot!
Nova: Oh...that really hurt.
Saria: (sighs) Ok, I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho. But one, I will rule the world and everything in it! And it will be mine, Mine, MINE! Muh ha ha ha!
SA and Zas: (come up behind Saria and knock her out with double frying pans to the head) No more late night caffeine for you!
Tori: You guys just hit the authoress...
SA, Zas, Nova, and Tori: AAAUUUUUGGHHHHHH!! (running away like madmen) Do us a favor though! Review!
Tori: I don't see why she gets special treatment.
Zas and SA: (grab Tori and throw her into a closet) Because she has connections!!!! We went over this already!
Zas: Besides, she's taking a nap right now. (tries to run to next room)
Saria: (is holding SA's mallet) Oh no you don't! You are to keep a watch out for that Army woman that keeps running by the window screaming that her troops aren't loud enough! (brandishes mallet angrily) Besides, I don't trust you.
