The sun is high in the sky by the time Yusuke finally gets out of bed. He didn't sleep a wink, but couldn't convince himself to get up. As soon as he starts to stand, the doorbell rings. Yusuke calls out, "Mom, get the door!" After waiting a few seconds, and not hearing a reply, nor the door opening, Yusuke grumbles and opens the door himself.

"Hey, man," Kuwabara says as he walks in, not waiting for the invitation that was unlikely to come.

"Hey..." Yusuke replies.

"I've got great news!" Kuwabara says excitedly.

"I doubt that..."

"C'mon, you'll love it."

"Fine.. I'll bite.. What is it?"

"Botan found that demon's hideout!" Kuwabara exclaims, as Yusuke's eyes light up.

"Let's teach the son of a bitch a lesson."

Yusuke and Kuwabara dash through the streets in an attempt to reach the demon's lair. However, they barely manage to go a block before they are ambushed by punks from the various other schools. "Hey, there's Urameshi and Kuwabara, they don't look so tough. Let's teach 'em a lesson!" One of the delinquents exclaims.

"Perfect, I needed a morning workout," Yusuke replies, cracking his knuckles.

"Urameshi, it's one in the afternoon," Kuwabara states, receiving a glare from Yusuke. As if on cue, all of the punks attack the two Sarayashiki Jr. High students. Yusuke throws out his fist, releasing a volley of spirit energy, taking out the majority of their adversaries.

"What the hell was that?" Kuwabara asks, almost dropping his Spirit Sword in surprise.

"It's called the Spirit Shotgun. The Hag taught it to me," Yusuke replies, as he drop kicks one of the remaining foes.

Kuwabara promptly charges at the only three left standing, and brings them down with a single stroke of his blade. "Well, that wraps things up, lets hurry up to that demon's place."

"Right," Yusuke replies, as he starts running, with Kuwabara chasing after him, in a desperate attempt to keep up.

The two finally reach their destination, a large pile of rocks, with a thin fissure barely wide enough for a man to squeeze through going down the side. Kuwabara stares at it worriedly as Yusuke dashes up to the fissure, and slides his way through. Kuwabara promptly follows suit, and the two enter a large canyon filled to the brim with E class demons.

As soon as they enter, the demons all turn to face their pray. "Oh god, they're looking right at us!" Kuwabara exclaims.

"Good, I'll slaughter them all without your help," Yusuke states matter-of-factly as he fires another shotgun blast, obliterating a decent chuck of the demons. The demons then swarm the two pugilists, and are met with devastating punches that cave in their skulls. Blood splatters everywhere, covering the two fighters and the walls of the cave.

"Spirit Sword!" Kuwabara shouts, as an orange blade appears in his hands. He promptly strikes down five demons, and then shoves his sword through the chest of another one. As he does this, Yusuke unleashes another shotgun blast and begins punching everything in sight. The two of them swiftly strike down the rest of the E class demons, and then move to attack their leader.

"You two pathetic humans think you can take me on? I'm a fucking C class! C'mon, I'll take both of you on at once!"

"I could take you out all by myself," Yusuke states as he charges at the foolish demon. The demon throws a punch at Yusuke's face, which is promptly grabbed out of the air and twisted to the side. Yusuke then uses his free hand to repeatedly punch him in the gut. After a flurry of a thousand punches, Yusuke throws the demon into a wall and follows up with a knee to the face before the demon even hits the ground.

"Alright, alright, I give up! I give up!" the bloodied demon shouts. "Please just don't hurt me anymore."

"Why the hell should we, you killed her!" Yusuke retorts.

"Who did I kill? We haven't killed anyone yet. I was just gathering an army to kill people, we hadn't done anything yet..."

"I was told that the demon that killed her had this place as his lair."

"I just moved into this cave today. I saw that it was abandoned, and I thought it would be a good place to build an army."

"Oh... Alright then... Spirit Gun!" Yusuke yells, murdering the demon. "I'd rather not have to come back for him again when he's about to attack," Yusuke explains to Kuwabara.

"Yeah... Makes sense. But now we've got to hunt down this other demon."

"Yeah, I guess we do, I'm not stopping until I avenge her."

"Wow, I guess you really loved her."

"Yeah, I guess I did..."

"What?"

"What do you mean what?" Yusuke replies angrily.

"You just sort of cut off there, it sounded kinda weird, or something..."

"Well, it's just... Ever since she's died, it hasn't really felt like I lost the girl I loved. It felt more like I lost my sister..."

To be continued in chapter 3. And I forgot to say it last time, but RanmaHibiki has been helping me out a bit, and giving me some ideas when I have writers block.
