Yusuke ran to his room and searched it for the inter-world communicator. He opened it quickly and called Koenma. As soon as the baby's face appeared Yusuke started yelling at him.

"KOENMA YOU TODDLER! BOTAN, MY 'ASSISTANT' JUST ATTACKED ME, AND SO DID KUWABARA, KURAMA, AND HIEI! WHAT IS GOING ON!?!" He shouted at the prince.

"Calm down, I know of your situation, I already have several people on it. At this point all you can do is go see Genkai. Bring the suitcase, and tell her about your situation, I'm sure she would let you stay there considering the circum-mmmph!" A hand had reached from behind Koenma's chair and covered the ruler's mouth. It then dragged the son of King Yamma down under the desk. The screen went fuzzy right after Koenma started screaming.

"God Damn It!" Yusuke screamed before folding up the communicator and sprinting out through the woods to Genkai's place.

Why couldn't the monster at least have left her alone? She was the only one who ever taught him anything; anything worth learning at least.

He waited until dark before trekking through the forest to Genkai's home. He reached his tutor's house and knocked on the door to her house. Yusuke could hear a bang and angry shouts. Footsteps were heard before the large door opened and a small, fragile-looking, old woman stood as a shadow as light rushed out into the pitch-blackness.

"What the hell do you want?" The old woman asked bitterly.

"Damn grandma, is that how you great your student?" Yusuke replied, not answering her question.

"Yes, you dimwit, I was busy! Now what is it that you want?"

"Well, you aren't actually attacking me yet, let me see your eyes." Yusuke said grabbing Genkai's head and trying to stare into her eyes.

"What the hell are you doing?" She questioned angrily shaking his hands off her face.

"Chill you fossil, I just had to check," Yusuke said pulling off, "Here's the deal grandma, I'm being hunted. Or that's what I have gathered from everyone trying to kill me. Keiko is unconscious, Botan is a zombie, Kuwabara, Hiei, and Kurama are all trying to kill me and Koenma has been kidnapped for all I know."

"You moron, why would you come here?" She asked, as she turned around, not inviting him in but not denying access either. Yusuke walked in behind her and closed the door.

"What do you mean?" Yusuke asked as they reached a small room with mats on the floor and a TV with a game system hooked up to it.

"If friends of yours that are more loyal to you than me have been pitted against you, what stops them from controlling me? You even suspected it was possible, why would you walk into what might've been your doom. I am much smarter than you." Genkai lectured as she sat down and unpaused that game that glowed on the television.

"Obviously you're smarter than me, and that's why I need you're help. I need to figure out what's going on, and you're my only chance. If you were being controlled then I'd be screwed either way, I have nobody backing me, but at least with you I figured there was a chance I could get some good advice out of you before you were taken." Yusuke ranted loudly; Genkai seemed not to notice Yusuke's change in intention, tone, or volume. Yusuke sat down next to the old hag and stared holes through the side of her head; she still seemed unaffected, it even appeared that she was demolishing the computer in the fighting style game she was currently focused on. "Uh, Genkai?"

"What?"

"Well, you're alive, so help me."

"How?"

"Umm, do you know what's going on?" 'Damn it' Yusuke thought to himself, 'Why does she always have to be the same distant hag.' Yusuke loved her, she was the closest thing to a mother he ever had. Atsuko paled in comparison; she could never have straightened Yusuke out the way that Genkai did. Six months, then almost a year of training with her and still, she was always so detached; she never showed any emotion besides anger.

"Look at it like an equation. If Kurama became Yoko, Hiei suddenly started attacking you, Kuwabara felt it coming and suddenly was lost, and Botan and Keiko became useless what can you assume from that?" Genkai asked condescendingly, she always did this. Yusuke was nothing more than a child to her, and not even a good one; he was a troublemaker.

"Well Yoko is Kurama without his human form, and the only ones that are of any use are fighters. Kurama and Hiei were glowing red!" he said exuberantly, "Kuwabara was glowing blue, and Botan and Keiko were both grayish pale. Blue is spirit energy and red is demon energy, but why would they suddenly be relying on those?"

"Because that's all they have left, they are resorting to the primitive thing that they are. Their life energy is entirely gone; they are surviving entirely on what energy they have left, for Hiei and Kurama, it's demon energy; for Kuwabara, Botan, and Keiko it's spirit energy. Kuwabara is the only one of those three that has enough to still be useful for anything. It would appear that Keiko barely has enough to keep her heart beating, and that is probably solely due to her contact with you and more likely the energy that Puu was feeding to her."

"Wait," Yusuke said holding his head, "so they're basically all dead, and they're just living off of what alternative energy they have?" Genkai nodded impatiently. "Well then why are they attacking me?"

"They're being controlled, there are beings that are neither human nor demon, who can manipulate spirit and demon energy; it is also said that they have the ability to drain life energy from anything." Yusuke was appalled at hearing this.

"Well who are these beings?" He asked.

"They are most commonly called 'Unimaginables'."

"Unimaginables?"

"They were given that name when King Yamma made a public announcement to Spirit World stating that they didn't exist. Koenma has been researching them for years, and he has found evidence that supports their existence. Like their name suggests they have powers unimaginable. There are even rumors that they created their own world apart from Human, Spirit, and Demon World. This is of course as true as their existence, people call their world Echo Side, which is a term that originally meant limbo, or the space between Human, Spirit, and Demon World."

"Well that's all nice to hear but all I need to know is how to kill them."

"Now why would I tell you that?"

"Because I need to save the world again."

"Ah, well that won't be happening."

"What do you mean grandma?"

"I prefer my true name," a sickening voice came from Genkai's body as the TV exploded. "I am the warrior God, Tsuwamono."

Genkai's head jerked so that her face was in the direction of Yusuke's. She was not Genkai anymore, her face was distorting, although her body stayed its same small, frail looking self. A wicked, toothy grin spread over his mentors quickly changing face until it looked like surrealism. Her facial features were turned upside down so that her mouth was near her hairline and her eyes were on her chin; her nose was upturned also. The now beastly looking Genkai reached out with the familiar hands that had once delved into Yusuke's body attempting to save his life by removing her orb of power from him. They wrapped around his neck and squeezed with strength that they hadn't had since they were in their prime.

"G-grandma?" Yusuke pleaded, searching to find the old lady inside of this distorted body that used to belong to her. The hands squeezed harder and Yusuke could no longer breathe at all. Yusuke was fed up; this wasn't his mentor anymore; no, she was gone. He wrapped his fingers around the old lady's wrists and pulled her hands off of him.

"What do you want from me?" Yusuke yelled as he stuck the bottom of his shoe right in the chest of his mentor's body. As the possessed Genkai flew backwards Yusuke sprinted along next to her and grabbed her throat in his right hand and slammed her hard into the ground.

"You're our only obstacle in taking over the three worlds. Ex-Spirit Detective Yusuke Urameshi." The same sickening voice came from Genkai's lungs as her form flipped under Yusuke's legs and grabbed both of his knees, pulling them from under him, landing him face first into the ground. "Imagine, if I can do this to you in this pathetic body think of what my true form can do to you." The possessed Genkai leapt high in to the air and came down towards Yusuke fist first. "This is hardly a movement of a finger to me." Yusuke rolled out of the way as leaving his mentor's fist to smash hard into the ground, bringing the house down on top of the two current rivals.

"Damn you!" Yusuke shouted before running towards the woman that taught him everything he knew about fighting and controlling his energy. When he was about 30 feet away he seemingly disappeared, leaving his enemy confused. Genkai was flung in the direction Yusuke had just come from.

"You're quicker than I thought," Tsuwamono's voice resonated from the falling old body. "But you are still nowhere near my speed, even in this wretch's body." Genkai's form then flipped so that she was prepared to land feet first.

"Oh yeah?" Yusuke's voice echoed from seemingly nowhere. The puppet turned around suddenly in air in time to punch was appeared to be thin air until Yusuke was suddenly flung away from Genkai at an unbelievably fast rate. Yusuke smashed through practically the entire forest in seconds and landed headfirst into a very large rock near the beach. Yusuke was held in the air for a second with his head on the rock before the mountainous stone cracked in several spots and shattered letting Yusuke fall back first into the ground.

Yusuke put his hand on his head, feeling the split in his skull that was caused by the collision. It was lucky that his body knew how to use the Spirit Wave without him telling it to. He would've bled out were it not for that technique; yet another thing that the woman who almost killed him had taught him.

Note: Tsuwamono means warrior in Japanese. Yes, this is a well researched fic, and now I'm rushing it. Go me!
