Blue Light

Chapter Seven

Yusuke sat in his seat, thinking about what Koenma told them. He was then interrupted by a voice.

"Yusuke?"

Yusuke head jerked up a little and turned to gaze at Keiko.

"What?" Yusuke said with a shake of his head.

"What is going on with you lately?" Keiko bent her head. "You wouldn't walk me to my room last night-"

"You had Yukina!" Yusuke started.

"But I wanted you to..." Keiko then looked up, her brown eyes full of question.

Yusuke sighed.

Keiko looked away towards the early mourning sun.

Then a large crash woke the group and they all turned to the windows come crashing down as the walls followed in the same way.

Once the smoke cleared to reveal a large lizard-like demon, green scales, and dark pupils that was encircled in red. He had large teeth that looked like sharpened spears while blood dripped from them.

He went straight for Yusuke.

"I'm guessing he still wants the Tournament to go on?" Yusuke asked, landing on his feet.

Without even blinking, Yusuke pushed Keiko to the side before he jumped into the air. The demon missed him, ramming into the wall.

Keiko screamed; Koenma had grabbed her and ran out of the room.

Hiei quickly gazed around to see his sister and was just about to rescue her when Kuwabara picked her up in his arms and ran yelling, "I'LL SAVE YOU YUKINA!"

Kurama jumped out of his seat just as Shizuru did.

"I suggest you leave, Shizuru." Kurama said.

"I can take care of myself, Thank you."

"Which I have no doubt about," Kurama told her. He looked at her, "But I'd rather not want to worry about not seeing you later." Then in a blink of an eye and a heart felt caress of the cheek, he was gone to Yusuke's side.

Shizuru stood, blinking.

She smiled as she slowly walked out, mayhem all around her.

"He's good." She laughed.

As Yusuke and Kurama fought the lizard, another demon rammed out of the hole in the wall.

This time, it was a large ogre with three eyes, slime for hair, and peeling skin. It spotted Yusuke and was heading his way when Botan came out of nowhere and smashed her oar in the center of its stomach.

"That was my room you and your friend just slammed through." Botan said with a lifted brow.

"I don't think he's the type to know the difference, lassie." Jin said, though he was grinning in amazement at Botan, and slid in front of Botan. He lifted up his hands towards in chest and then pushed them forward. A gust of wind flew past him and Botan and thrashed into the ogre, throwing him back outside.

Jin then turned, pressed Botan against him. Botan blushed from the sudden contact as she stared into his eyes.

Yusuke, seeing this, ran past Jin and grabbed Botan by the hand.

"Hey! Look Jin!" Yusuke shouted as they ran out of the room. "I left you a present."

"What-" Jin turned to see the lizard barging his way. Jin quickly threw up his hands and lifted himself into the air.

Kurama took out his rose-stem whip and wrapped it around the demons neck and then throwing him outside.

Yusuke got Botan outside, a smirk on his face as he heard Jin cursing the sun, moon, and stars.

"What was that?" Botan said, looking at Yusuke. They stood out in the hall, hand in hand.

Yusuke shrugged, "Beats me." He glanced at their intertwined hands and almost smiled at this.

"The demons are starting to lose control." Koenma said, right behind them.

Both Yusuke and Botan quickly dropped, Yusuke looked up at the sky while Botan blushed and looked away.

Yusuke, turning around to Koenma, "I can see that but why?"

"The balance is starting to deteriorate." Koenma cursed under his breath. "We'd better leave or else we'll have about every demon imaginable at our throats!"

Another wall came tumbling down from behind them and in came roaring a hairy, lion-like monster with green glowing eyes and feathered-wings.

Botan screamed as the floor gave out from underneath her.

"Botan!" Yusuke shouted. He reached out for her just as Jin came out of nowhere and swept Botan up into his arms.

"Gotcha!" Jin grinned at Botan, who had flung her arms around him in fright.

Yusuke growled. "Damn elf..."

Yusuke landed down on the ground after Jin and Botan.

Jin let Botan down but still had his arms around her.

Botan sighed slowly, her eyes closed.

"Yes, I think..."

"Loser..." Yusuke muttered at Jin.

Botan opened her eyes and looked towards Yusuke, who had his arms crossed, turned around. However, he kept glancing behind him.

Botan let go of Jin and ran towards Yusuke. "Oh Yusuke! Are you alright?"

Yusuke fought the urge to take Botan into his arms; He needed to keep his cool facade.

"I'm fine, Bo." Yusuke then glanced at Jin and saw him red with jealousy.

Screw it, Yusuke thought with a smirk. Damn the elf! I'm gonna have some fun...

Yusuke cupped the side of Botan's face, which surprised her because her eyes were wide and radiating confusion.

Out of the corner of his eye, Yusuke could see Jin writhing in an enraged, jealous state.

"How about you?" Yusuke asked worriedly. "You okay?"

Botan blinked and then slowly smiled.

"I'm fine!' Botan laughed. "All thanks to you," She then turned to Jin and hugged him with all her might. "Thanks Jin!"

Yusuke fell to floor-again.

Jin laughed, "No problem, lassie." His cheeks were burning red, furiously rubbing the back of his head with his hand.

Botan let go of Jin and warmly grinned up at him.

Yusuke sighed as he laid on the ground with his face in the ground.

"Yusuke!"

Yusuke looked up to see Keiko running to him.

It surprised him a little to feel his head sighing at this.

It felt weird...

As if he didn't want to see her...

Yusuke's eyes quickly wavered to Botan then back.

Yusuke sat up from the ground as Keiko knelt down next to him.

"Are you okay?" Keiko raised her hands and placed them on his arm.

Yusuke waved a hand. "Yeah, I'm just fine."

"We need to leave..." Said a voice.

The two looked up to see Genkai with a worried expression.

"Why-" Both Yusuke and Jin asked, turning around.

Just then, a gust of wind surrounded them. Dust and debris flew all around them as the wind lifted the roof above them up into the air.

"JIN!" Yusuke shouted. "STOP IT, YOU FREAKIN' ELF!"

"IT ISN'T ME!" Jin shouted back.

Yusuke, with narrowed eyes, looked up to see the sun peaking through the tear between the roof and the building. He could see black, raging across the sky, covering the blue of the sky and swallowing up the bright yellow sun.

The wind scathed out dirt and objects, slicing through the thick fog that started to creep about. Picking up speed, the wind started to go around and around. The wind become faster and harsher. Within a matter of seconds, a tornado appeared, taking in and throwing everything around.

Botan felt her feet slip from under her, and her hair whipping all around her. The harsh, raging winds, cutting at her clothes and her skin.

Botan forced her eyes to open and was surprised to see a woman stand in front of her with fiery red hair.

"Yes, I can see it." The woman spat.

Botan couldn't make the woman out except for the wild red that stayed unmoving against the wind.

Botan's eyes flew open.

It was Kinda....

Botan blinked in disbelief; It wasn't really Kinda.

But a woman who looked extremely like her.

The woman had the same color red in her hair but with Kinda, it was curly. This woman's was curly and her eyes were green instead of blue, but rest of her features were an exact.

"Kinda?" Botan asked.

"No, my name is Marie." Marie leaned towards Botan with an evil smile. "Yes, your soul is just as pure. I can see the azure-" She paused.

"But most of your soul is white." Marie leaned back with a smirk. "With a bit of black."

Botan winced and grasped her arm as a rock sliced into her arm.

Marie laughed. "Yes, your soul is pure for me to take."

Botan reached for her oar but Marie grabbed it, threw it away, and cackled. She flew up into the air. "Sorry but its your day to die!"

Botan watched, helplessly stunned, Marie throw a hand up over her head with green particles collecting into the palm of her hand.

In a split second, the wind stopped moving.

Marie was caught by surprise at the silence and the motionless wind.

"What the hell?" Marie spat as she looked around her.

Botan collapsed.

"Botan!" Yukina's tears flowed but due to her nature, crystal orbs fell around. She ran towards the girl.

Marie looked around her, down below, and up stared many eyes. The floor was cleared of everything but a few rocks.

Yusuke was just inches from Botan and ran to her aid.

"I guess this is my cue to leave." Marie looked down at Botan, "I'll be back."

Before she left, Marie caught a glimpse of Yusuke and paused for a moment.

Then with a whisk of a hand, Marie was gone, leaving a cascade of falling green particles.

Yusuke was just inches from Botan; He reached for her, picking her up in his arms. Yusuke sat up, he pulled Botan into his arms, laying her across his lap.

Botan lay motionless, Yukina cried as she bent over the girls body. Keiko was thrown alongside Koenma across the room, Koenma had a gash in his leg. Shizuru stood up from being tossed to the corner of the room, Hiei floated in the sky with Kurama across for him. Jin came out from the shadows, slash marks across his body and Touya walked towards Botan and stood behind Yukina.

"Bo?" Yusuke asked.

Botan eyes fluttered open, Yusuke gave a sigh of relief.

"Your okay..." Yusuke said.

Botan breathed in a little. "Yusuke?" Botan tried to move but Yusuke forced her back into his arms.

"Stay." He demanded.

Botan closed her eyes. "It hurts."

Yusuke turned his eyes towards the cut in Botan's arm. "Yeah, we'll get a Doc to check that out."

"No, Yusuke... That's not what I was talking about." Botan whispered. With her good arm, she lifted up her hand and took Yusuke's hand into hers. She led their hands to her heart.

"Right there..." She whispered, before her hand fell and she fell asleep.

Yusuke blinked in confusion but was brought out of his thoughts when he heard someone speak to him.

"Bring her, Yusuke."

Yusuke turned to see Genkai and his phoenix behind him.

Genkai was hidden by a few shadows from the lighting of the moon.

Moon?

Yusuke turned to see that it was night time.

Just a few hours ago... it was mourning.

Botan lay asleep in a bed provided for by the hotel. During the attack by Marie, the demon world was taken over the tremulous earthquakes and raging monsters. The sky had fallen to darkness and the stadium that held the tournament had crumbled to ground.

Yusuke closed the door to Botan's room and into the room of worried and questioning looks of the gang.

"Is she okay?" Yukina asked softly.

"Yeah." Yusuke turned to Koenma, anger in his features. "What-the-hell-was-that?"

Koenma laid strewed across the sofa with his injured leg propped across the coffee table. He was quiet for a moment and then said, "I didn't think this was going to happen."

"Yeah and what was up with that lass. One with the red in her hair." Jin asked.

Koenma sighed. "Marie. Kinda's daughter."

"Daughter?" Shizuru raised a brow. "Someone actually bore a child with that woman?"

Koenma shook his head. "Born for the womb of evil, that girl is. Fatherless and heartless. She is the spawn of a woman reborn."

Kurama nodded in understanding. "So she's a reincarnation."

"Exactly." Koenma said.

The room was then overtaken with silence.

Yusuke eyes narrowed as he leaned against Botan's door. It was a second before Yusuke realized Kiyoshi had set himself on Yusuke's shoulder.

Yusuke glanced at the bird. "Where were you the whole damn time?"

Kiyoshi just fluttered his wings.

Yusuke shook his head and gazed around the room.

Koenma sat down on the couch with his slashed leg and was attended by Ogre and by the head of this healing group, Keiko. She was moving about the room wrapping arms, legs, cuts, and icing down bruises.

Kuwabara was slouched across the two-seat couch-asleep. His snores were starting to become monstrous. Hiei was totally appalled by such noise that he left the room but not before muttering a string of curses.

Shizuru was helping Keiko out as the same with Kurama who both seemed to be fine.

Touya stood leaning against the wall, his eyes closed in thought.

Yukina was coming in the room with a bowl of water; Jin followed in after with a larger basin of water.

Then a thought came to Yusuke...

Where was Genkai?
