A Yu Yu Yasha Adventure

Chapter 4

So he told his life's story; well… starting at age 14, at least. Yusuke finished with a drawn out sigh. He had told nothing but the truth, for he felt that lies made things too… messy. But even so, though it was all truthful, he knew that no one would believe him.

They were all in the hut. Yusuke was sitting in a lotus position on the floor. On the opposite side of the room sat the rest of the group including Keade. The only person who did not attend story time was Inuyasha- who was most likely in the tree right next to the hut and listening to every word.

Even though a part of him was screaming not to trust the strange demon and that his was telling outrageous lies, the logical part of him knew for a fact that that could not be. He had smelled not anxiousness, heard no change in heart rate,… nothing. All the classic signs to whether or not someone was giving false information were missing in this situation.

Just as everyone was about was about to ask more questions, Kagome became the barer of bitter-sweet news.

Knowing that he was well within –his- hearing range she called out, "Inuyasha, I sense jewel shards."

"What are these 'shards' about?" Yusuke inquired.

"No time to explain," Kagome said as she rushed past him.

With her bow and arrows, Kagome walked about ten yards from the hut in the direction of the shards before being blocked by a certain someone.

"Could you try to explain it to me now, cause I had to sit in there for an hour explaining things to you!" Yusuke said. He was a little upset about the fact that he felt like he was at the mercy of a group of people he didn't even know. The fact that he didn't make the best first impression in the world didn't help either.

"Look, I said I'd tell you later, so LATER. Ok?" She walked past him once again.

"Fine," he mumbled under his breath. He pouted a little with his eyes toward the ground and kicked a rock like a five year old that had just been denied candy by his mother.

Less than three seconds later, the wind started to pick up. By the time Yusuke turned around, the sudden breeze had already died down, leaving a 'wolf demon?... Lord, this place gets weirder by the hour.'

Kouga was about to start his usually ritual; it consisted of: grabbing Kagome by the hands, claiming her as his, getting into a fight with Inuyasha, Inuyasha being sat, him leaving to tend to his tribe. But this time there was a scent in the area that he didn't recognize. He turned to face the unidentified presence.

"Who the hell are you? You look like a human, but you carry a demonic aura… You're another mutt, ain't ya?" Kouga said with one hand on his hip while looking Yusuke up and down a few times and sniffing the air.

(DGS: …sob… I hate referring to Yusuke or Inuyasha as "mutt"… it breaks my heart sob)

"What did you just call me? I am NOT some kind of street dog! Unless you want to know what it tastes like to have your FOOT in your MOUTH, I'd suggest you shut the hell up, you flea-bag!"

"FLEA-BAG?! You don't know what you've gotten yourself into half-breed!" With that said, Kouga jumped up with great speed with full intention of kicking Yusuke in the face. But there was something odd about this; it looked like the mutt was letting Kouga kick him. This was completely true. Yusuke was watching Kouga with hard eyes the entire time. He was fully willing to test his opponent's strength by taking the first hit.

Kouga made harsh contact with Yusuke's face. The force of the impact formed a small crater in the earth around the two, but Yusuke was still standing. Kouga used Yusuke's face as a 'push-off point' to flip backwards in the air and land on his feet.

Before anyone could react… "KOUGA!! Wait up!" Ginta, Hakakku (sp?), and five wolves were desperately trying to catch up to their master. By the time they arrived on the scene, they had noticed that something was going on; their own curiosity silenced them. They weren't the only ones who were anxious to see. Everyone, including Inuyasha, was paying close attention to the event. They all wanted to know how strong this stranger was; he kept his stories vague and didn't go into much detail. He did mention his 'famous' spirit gun, but failed to elaborate on just how effective it actually was. To sum it up, he- as contradictory to his normal behavior as it sounds- was far too modest. They were all determined to watch.

Yusuke turned to Kouga with a smirk, "I don't know you, but I'm gonna apologize to you in advance. You see, now I'm officially frustrated and pissed off, and that tends to make me a jerk." Kagome was a little worried. Even in her school there had been horrifying rumors about Yusuke Urameshi. Stories of him taking down entire gangs at a time with only his bare hands often caught the school by storm.

Kouga couldn't even come up with an arrogant come back before Yusuke seemed to suddenly appear in front of his face. "I'm a lot of things, but I am not a liar. This IS gonna hurt." With that said, Yusuke punched Kouga in the gut. Hard. Inuyasha's ears twitched at the sound of cracking ribs while Yusuke put a little demon energy behind the blow. The sudden rush of energy caused Kouga's body to be thrown backwards and slam into a tree.

"KOUGA!" Ginta, Hakkaku, and three wolves went to see if their master was okay. Two of the wolves stayed behind and snarled fiercely at Yusuke. They were about to jump him when they noticed that their masters were getting ready to leave.

Ginta and Hakkaku took opposite sides of their beaten leader. They carried him away at a steady running pace. Kouga was in intense pain but he refused to let sleep overcome him until he shouted out his empty promise of revenge.

Yusuke turned around with a sigh. He looked up toward to sky a noticed the setting sun. 'It's probably around seven o'clock and I don't think they are going to tell me how to get back anytime soon… damn… It's gonna be a long night.'
