The mark of the silver fox was on the neck of the decapitated demon. Kuwabara's interest in the presentation just went up. He knows that this silver fox was none other than his old friend.

"As you all can see, there has been movement from the demon camp." The slide now turns to the picture of the prison Yusuke was exiled in. The coffin was opened and the demon that resided there is no where to be found.

Kuwabara is now hooked into the presentation of the 3rd general named Kai. Kai is one of the older generals under the 13 Dragons of the spirit world. He has a strict demeanor when on the job, however he is a caring and kind general to the citizens of the spirit world.

Kai continues on with his presentation. "Everyone please welcome one of the most respected honorary citizen, and the leader of the demons under refugee status, Vladimir II Tepes"

The focus of the room veered from Kai to Vladimir Tepes. Vladimir II Tepes is what you would expect from a Demon Noble. During the demonic civil war years ago, Vladimir II Tepes tried to wrest control of the Demon world from Yomi, the current demon king.

However the Demons under Vladimir II Tepes lost that civil war and they were exiled from their land. With nowhere to go, the Emperor of the Spirit World, Koenma, took those exiled demons as Honorary Citizens under the citizenship laws of the empire.

This law gave the honorary citizen demon's a place off the coast of japan to live in. They called this place 'Kagutsutchi District'. The demons living in this district were referred to by the humans and spirit world as 'half-demons'.

Vladimir Tepes the leader of the half-demons takes the stage. Beside him is his most trusted commander, Lin.

"Hello gentlemen, as you may already know the demon king has been revived." Nobody in the room really knew what Yusuke was capable of so there was no real worry among them.

"Pfft that old demon? Anyone of us here can kill him in a second, that guy is a joke." A young general in the speaks out as he leans back on his chair. Kai turns his attention to the brash young general. "Do not underestimate him!" The young general just ignores Kai's comments.

"However, even though he might be revived, worry not, because he does not possess his demonic energy orb." It was true, when he was sentenced to be exiled, the demon world took away all his demonic power by taking away his demonic orb, much like genkai did when she passed yusuke her reiki orb.

"His demonic orb is what is powering this capital city right now." Everybody now realizes just how powerful this former demon king was.

The young man who was underestimating Yusuke before is wide eyed in disbelief. "Th-at can't be you have got to be joking." He awkwardly laughs to hide his fear. The room is now full of murmurs.

Vladimir tries to calm the room down. "As I have stated before, do not worry right now all of us here can kill him in one shot." Vladimir puts up a video feed on the screen.

"As of right now Yusuke is with G.A.N.T.Z. test unit # 144" The video feed on the screen shows Yusuke in the apartment together with the Gantz team.

"Yusuke, right now thinks that I am the demon king reigning over the demon world, and I gave him the orders to infiltrate a group we call the demon slayers." Vladimir points to his escort. "Yusuke has been in contact with my most trusted associate, Lin."

Lin nods to show her acknowledgement. "We will continue to observe Yusuke under our watchful eye however.." The video feed is cut off and a picture of the silver fox Yoko Kurama is put on the screen. Everybody in the room except for Kuwabara stares angrily at the picture. Kurama has been one of the leaders of the constant guerilla attacks on the Spirit World Empire.

"As General Kai might've already mentioned the demon who originally intended to free Yusuke was working for him." Vladimir points to Kurama. "We have to prevent that demon fox from getting in contact with Yusuke, if he does we have to kill him right away."

One of the more meek demon world generals raises her hand. "Ummm.. if it is really imperative that we let the two meet, and if what you said was true, about us being able to kill him, why don't we just kill him?"

"Hmm you bring up a good point glasses girl hahaha." Another demon general comments on her question.

Vladimir thinks for a bit and finally he answers. "I believe it was the Spirit World Research Organization that requested to keep him alive as when Yusuke was revived the Demonic Orb's behaviour has changed."

"Umm.. I see so it was the SWRO afterall." She readjusts her glasses as her glasses have began to droop down her face.

"This meeting is basically us half-demons, asking for the co-operation of the 13 Dragons of the Spirit World in the case that the Silver Fox decides to take action." Vladimir stands up from his seat. "Now if you will excuse me I have other business to attend to." Vladimir starts walking towards the exit, while Lin follows closely behind.

Kai stands up from his seat as well. "Alright, you guys are dismissed." Kai looks around as most of the people stand up from their seats and he notices that one of them is missing. He is not exactly sure when, but Kuwabara seemed to have left the meeting early.

The spirit world's finest leaves the meeting room. Everybody is still talking about the former demon king and the silver fox. Kai catches a glimpse of Kuwabara on the street down below. "Kuwabara!" Kai calls out to him, however Kuwabara keeps on walking. "What is on that guy's mind?" Kai starts to walk down the hallway to exit the meeting building. The building is right in the middle of the Spirit World Research Organization's campus.

As Kai walks down the hallway he hears a small snicker. "keh keh keh keh" Kai turns towards the source of the laughter.

"Nasir, its you, what do you want?" Nasir is leaning on a wall snickering to himself.

"Aww come on Kai shouldn't you be happy to see me?" Nasir is your typical scientist, he is the lead researcher and engineer of the Surrogate system. Kai just keeps on walking past Nasir as Nasir tries to keep up.

"Heh I just wanted to inform you that the Surrogate System is almost ready." Kai's eyes widened. "I got you interested now don't I? hahaha" Kai turns to the scientist.

"That fast!?" Kai could not believe it.

"Indeed hehehe thanks to the demon king Yusuke being revived it made it that much faster" Nasir's smile is wide now. "Pretty soon we won't need that dirty demon and we can kill him off hahaha." Nasir finally stops following Kai and turns around and walks into another branch of the SWRO, before Nasir completely disappears though he turns to Kai and yells out. "Oh yeah and the G.A.N.T.Z. project will be over soon too! It'll be over in 2 weeks hahaha." Nasir's laugh trails off.

Kai is still amazed at how fast the surrogate system is being completed. They all thought they had to rely on Yusuke's energy orb forever. Kai keeps walking and disappears onto the hustle and bustle of the Spirit World.

Back in Gantz' apartment the transfer is now complete. Reika notices her classmate in the room, she walks toward him. "Wow that was amazing Yusuke! You were so strong" Yusuke just smiles and scratches his head trying to stay humble. "Nah it was nothing haha."

Katou then walks up to Yusuke and pats his back. "That was amazing! It truly was!"

Kei could see that with Yusuke in the group their group is much better and have a much better chance of surviving. Also, even though he never really paid attention to Reika due to Tae, he could feel a little bit of envy with Reika praising him. Finally Kei swallows his pride and walks over to Yusuke who is now surrounded by everyone being praised.

"Hey newbie, that was nice." Kei sticks his right hand out as if to congratulate him. "My bad about earlier, saying you were the first to die like that."

Yusuke slaps Kei's hand away. "You think I'm gonna buy that half-assed apology? cmon man what the fuck?!" Everybody is stunned. There was complete silence for about 3 seconds. Yusuke then bursts into laughter. "Hahaha! I'm just fuckin' with you man" Yusuke pats Kei's shoulders. "Don't worry about that man, I don't mind at all." Yusuke then sticks his right hand out.

Kei grabs Yusuke's hand and shakes it. Even though everybody was all at peace now, Kei just can't shake off a feeling of envy. Not for all the attention Yusuke's getting but something else, something he can't quite explain yet.

Suddenly a beep interrupts the newly formed friends. The scoring has begun.

Reika-san is now written on the black ball. Reika crosses her fingers.

"5 points - Better luck next time, also have you found yourself a new crush?"

Reika blushes and denies but takes her points anyways.

"Reika total points - 37"

The next guy to be scored was Kei.

"23 points - have you been outdone?"

Kei shrugs the comment off but takes the points.

"Kei total points - 101"

Kei is psyched he can finally revive Kishimoto. He is just about to go up to Gantz to revive him but someone else popped into his mind.

"Woo hoo go Kei!" Everybody cheers for him "You can revive Kishimoto now!"

Kei finally inputs his choice. To everyone's surprise it was not a girl who was being revived rather it was Nishi.

"Kei what are you doing!?" Katou is confused and demanded an explanation.

Kei gets up to explain his choice. "Well guys don't you think there has been a lot of weird shit going on. I mean first that mission where we got taken to New York instead of Japan?" Everybody tries to remember, however only 5 of them was in that mission everybody else was recruited afterwards. "The only guy I know that might have an inkling of what is going on is that guy!"

"Hmmph why did you even revive me?" Nishis voice finally speaks out. Everybody's attention is now on Nishi.

Nishi walks up to the black ball. "You guys thought you did me a favour by reviving me? Don't make me laugh" Nishi leans in and sticks his finger in Gantz' ears. "Gantz' show me Katastrophe!"

On the black ball, a timer that shows 2, 352 hours, or two weeks. "You guys see this?" Nishi points to the ball. "This is how much longer we have left to live." Everybody is confused and scared now.

Kei finally gets a hold of himself. "What do you mean? two weeks is the only time we have left?" Nishi just laughs as he starts walking for the door. "I'll let you guys think about what you saw here hahaha"

As Nishi passes by Yusuke, he hears a snicker.

"Hah don't make me laugh, 2 weeks? that is pure bullshit man, and what is funny is you believe it." Nishi has a pissed off look in his face. He turns to Yusuke. "Who the fu-" Nishi is interrupted by Yusuke's stare. Nishi could feel Yusuke's killing intent through his deathly stare.

"It is guys like you that pisses me off the most, those that give up before even trying." Nishi after being called out by Yusuke continues towards the door. "Whatever man believe what you want, all I know is in 2 weeks Katastrophe starts." Nishi then opens the door and leaves.

"Whatever that dude is crazy haha, don't believe him." Yusuke tries to comfort everybody in the apartment, but the seeds of doubt has been planted. Everybody starts to exit towards the door as everybody has received their score except for one guy, Yusuke. Due to the Katastrophe incident though everybody forgot.

Everybody has left the apartment and everybody is now going their separate ways. Reika runs towards Yusuke. "Hey Yusuke-kun thanks for trying to comfort us back then and standing up to that Nishi guy."

"Haha don't worry about it." Yusuke smiles at Reika. Reika feels comfort with Yusuke's confident smile. "Well I'll see you tomorrow at school Yusuke-kun. bye-bye!" Reika runs off towards the direction of her house.

Everybody is now gone to their own separate and Yusuke starts to walk towards his apartment. As Yusuke starts to walk he hears a voice from the shadows.

"Well.. well.. well if it isn't Urameshi the traitor."

Yusuke's eyes widens, he remembers this voice, and he remembers it very well. Yusuke turns around and it was the figure of Kuwabara coming out of the shadows. "What is it Urameshi? you seem like you just saw a ghost."

Yusuke is still speechless. "Well now I feel bad.. We don't see each other for thousands of years and you won't talk back? Well then let me start the conversation." Kuwabara is now face to face with Yusuke.

Kuwabara's face radiates with anger as he grabs Yusuke by the collar. Kuwabara yells out to him "Why did you order the Great Purge? why did you order your demon's to attack the human world!" Kuwabara's eyes become a bit watery. That is a question he has wanted to ask Yusuke face to face for years.

Yusuke could say nothing, Yusuke could only turn his head away trying to avoid eye contact with Kuwabara. It wasn't like he wanted to launch an attack on the human world, however he did it to save Keiko's soul, and in the end He wasn't able to anyways.

"I'm sorry Kuwabara...." Yusuke whispers under his voice. Kuwabara still gripping Yusuke's collar is even more enraged now. "Sorry!? that is all you could say!? Sorry!" Kuwabara throws Yusuke to the ground.

Yusuke hits the ground and he lies there motionless for a second. "I really am sorry Kuwabara, however even if I explain my actions-"

"Just forget it Urameshi." Kuwabara interrupts Yusuke. Kuwabara turns to Yusuke and he sees him trying to stand up now. Finally Yusuke is standing up once more. "However remember this Urameshi...I will never ever let you become Demon King again. I just need the order from the higher ups and I swear to god I will kill you where you stand."

Yusuke just stand there, speechless. Kuwabara wipes the tears off his eyes. It was hard to be like that to a former friend however he still remembers the atrocity that was the Great Purge. "Yusuke.. I used to be your friend.. but now.. I will do everything I can to foil any of your plans." Kuwabara proclaims with a strong resolve. Kuwabara walks away, into the shadows to go back to the Spirit Realm. Before Kuwabara transfer to Spirit World however he gives Yusuke a warning. "Urameshi, don't trust everyone around you too much you might get killed, and I want to kill you with my own hands." After giving Yusuke his warning he disappears.

Yusuke just stands there still in shock of what just happened. He tries to imagine how hard it was for Kuwabara to deal with the fact that his best friend caused one of the greatest attacks on humanity by demons...

A bit late on Ch 7 but better late than never haha.
