As Yusuke walks into the classroom it seems like time stopped. Everybody stopped what they were doing and looks at the transfer student. They could not believe it, he was still walking after a fight with Shin.
"Maybe Shin just tried to threaten him a bit." One of the male explains to his friend.
"Yea that might be it."
After recovering from the confusion that ensued after seeing the transfer walk into the classroom, everybody resumed what they were doing.
Yusuke grabs his belongings from his desk and he starts walking out the door.
"Hey transfer student" One of them calls out to Yusuke. "I have to go home early today." Yusuke turns to look at him. "Would you mind doing my cleanup duty for me?"
The first thought that hit Yusuke was hit the guys face so hard he goes through the wall, however he did not want to stand out too much.
"S-s-s-ure" It was hard for him. His smile showed just how painful it was to comply. Yusuke puts down his bag at a nearby desk and walks towards his classmate to get the broom and clean. However before he could grab the broom, one of his new found "friends" grabs it for him.
"Hey its alright Yusuke-san, I'll clean it for him!.' Yusuke smirks a bit. It was good he didn't knock them out before.
"ah, thanks a lot!" Yusuke felt relieved. He grabs his bag again and leaves for home.
"Hey Nomura." One of the females calls out to the male student that grabbed the broom. "Why are you acting friendly with the transfer?"
Nomura hesitates to answer as he remembers Yusuke threatening him. "N-n-no reason" He remembers Shin down on the ground and it gave him chills. "I just wanted him to feel welcome."
"Is that so?"
"Yeah, thats all there is to it."
The whole class was suspicious, but there was no helping it. They resumed cleaning the classroom as it was getting late as it is.
Yusuke finally arrives home. It was a small apartment almost identical to Kei's home.
He walks in the door and right away he could feel someone's presence. Yusuke drops his bag onto the bed.
"Tcch the least you guys could do was find me a better house." Yusuke turns around to see that a figure is now appearing out of the shadows. "Isn't that right? You do know I used to be a demon king right?" Yusuke tells the figure thats coming out of the shadows enunciating the "I" part.
The figure is now fully visible, it is a female demon wearing a qiapao. She has a slim figure, she was also pretty tall for her frame as well. She had azure blue hair and green piercing eyes. Perfect for one of the 6 generals of the current demon king.
"We are well aware of that." She walks towards Yusuke bed and sits down. "However you are not the demon king anymore, not since you lost the war 600 years ago"
Yusuke winces, it always hurts when someone brings up the war he fought with the spirit world a long time ago.
"Yeah I know I ain't king anymore, but isn't there supposed to be some kind of respect for former leaders of the demon world?." Yusuke walks into the kitchen and he gets a glass of water.
The female demon looks at Yusuke's table. It was filled with files regarding the "Demon Slayers" as they called them. On the files were pictures of the Gantz team in a variety of their missions.
"Hey Lin, do you want anything to drink?" Yusuke is now looking at his fridge trying to find something to offer his guest.
"I'm okay, you do not have to give me anything." Lin picks up one of the files labeled 'Reika Shihomira'.
"So Yusuke, former demon king, have you found anything about the Demon Slayers?"
Yusuke closes the fridge door and walks back into the same room Lin was in. "No not yet, I've only found Reika. I've successfuly joined her class though." Yusuke sits down on the floor and slides his legs under the table.
He picks up one of Reika's pictures. "Are you sure this chic is one of those Demon Slayers you are talking about?" Yusuke closely examines the picture. "I mean she doesn't look like a killer and besides she had no spiritual power beyond a normal human." Yusuke shows her picture to the female demon. "She looks amazing though"
"Please wipe that perverted look on your face" Lin grabs the picture from Yusuke and puts it down on the table. "We are sure that she is one of them." Lin grabs another file from the table.
"We have been watching them." She refers to the team of humans that randomly appears from the night and has been eliminating demons.
"As we explained to you when you were revived, we are still at war with Spirit World" Yusuke remembers when he was revived back in New York.
"At first this team's targets were brainwashed demons." Lin picks up another folder and throws it to Yusuke.
"Here read this, this was one of the earliest incidences that we watched."
Yusuke picks up the file and looks at the label. In front of the folder it read.
'Chiba Incident'
Yusuke opens the folder and there were pictures of humans in black suit. He can vaguely remember the same humans were the one that attacked him in New York.
'Incident Report: about 7-12 humans showed up in Chiba. Their targets were demons confirmed to be POWs. One human had no Black suit on, however he had a bike. The suits seem to give the humans quite a lot of stamina.'
"So their initial targets were just captured demons?" Yusuke closes the folder and sets it down on the table.
"Correct, however recently their targets switched to demons living peacefully in this dimension" Lin stands up from the bed and proceeds to walk towards the shadows.
"Hey wait up Lin I still have a bunch of questions."
Lin turns around and looks at Yusuke. "I'm a busy demon, I'll only give you one more question to ask"
Yusuke thinks hard about his last question. As Yusuke's face suddenly turns serious he proceeds to ask his question. "What happened to the Demons when I lost the war?"
Lin, aware of how serious the topic were to Yusuke, answers him carefully. "The spirit world united Demon world and Human world under the guise of peace."
"But that wasn't all right? I mean if theres peace this wouldnt be happening.." Yusuke trails off.
"You are correct. After a succesful unification Spirit World started to persecute against demons until finally the Demon's waged another war."
Lin turns around again and starts to walk towards the shadow, however she remembers something.
"Yusuke please stay low right now, as we do not want to attract any attention to you.
"I am, look at my disguise" Yusuke points to his glasses.
"We saw what you did today to your classmate." Lin reminds Yusuke about the incident at school.
"Oh please, I didn't even hit him, I was just dodging him and he tripped and knocked himself out." Yusuke laughs as he remembers the scene.
"Just be more careful next time and please find out what you can about this new team. I fear they are something that Spirit World is planning to fight against us." Lin rips open a hole in the dimension right inside Yusuke's room.
"Please Yusuke be more careful" Lin goes into the hole and disappears from Yusuke's room.
"Oh man, just when I thought I'd live a more peaceful life I'm thrown into this mess" Yusuke lets out a big sigh.
He reads the files on his table to get a hold of the situation a bit more. Yusuke's been imprisoned for at least a thousand years, and he wants to know his sutation as fast as he can.
As Yusuke reads on, time flies by. He thinks he finally got a grasp on the situation as of now. He has found out about the war that has been going on with Spirit World and the Demon Resistance.
The only known member of the group of human is Reika, and he is tasked to spy on her to find out anything that he can.
"Well I guess I have to get closer to her" Yusuke's face suddenly turns red and his face has been painted with a perverted look.
Yusuke finally decides to go to bed, but suddenly He feels a familiar spiritual energy. It was the same energy that he felt back in New York.
"The 'Demon Slayers!" Yusuke gets on his feet and puts on shoes and runs out the door. Yusuke starts running on the rooftops.
As Yusuke starts running towards the source of the energy he felt he starts to feel as if he is entering another territory. He finally sees the source of the spiritual energy.
High atop a rooftop, Yusuke looks down on the scene of carnage. It was another demon being hunted by abou 5-7 humans. He watched as the demon is slowly worn down and killed.
He looks around and sees that humans are unaware of what is happening. Then he remembered the feeling he had before.
"Heh so that is how they can keep this little 'hunt' a secret from the humans, by creating a protective territory around it." Yusuke smiles feeling like he just solved a huge mystery.
"I'm going to have to become part of their team." Yusuke looks down once again. "The question is how.."
------
Lin walks into the Demon King's chambers. She calls out to the king.
"My lord I have taken care of the filthy demon" Lin holds up the severed head of the speedy demon that revived Yusuke back in New York.
