Chapter 65: More Truths or Lies

(In the white hall)

In the white hall, we find Sartorius, seating at his small table, looking at the Temperance, the Star and High Priestess Tarot cards, seriously.

Sartorius says, plainly, "Yusuke Urameshi has proven himself loyal to me. However with Kagome Higurashi, I'm sensing little doubts about her dear friend, Keiko Yukimura. All though, she believes me that her friends, including Inuyasha, has betrayed her, she's still having doubts on me. I hate to pull these inhumane acts on them, but it's the only way to pull the 'Chosen Ones' to the light." Sartorius soon glows sickly white and says, with an evil grin, "Sooner or later, they'll all see the light!"

(With Yusuke)

In the sidewalk of Tokyo, in the mid-afternoon, Chazz Princeton, Kagome Higurashi and the Urameshi triples were running the way to the Truesdale's house, to watch the Pro-Leagues duels and it would be a good chance to check up on the duelists that Zane has to face in the future.

Kira yells out, "Come on, guys! We don't want to be late!"

Chazz pants, while running and says, "Well excuse me for having pure human blood in my veins!" Taking it, while back, Chazz learned about Yusuke's days as a spirit detective and little of Kagome's stories in the Feudal Era, now back to the story.

Kagome tells Chazz, "I don't have demon blood in my veins like my cousins do."

Chazz mutters, "Oh yeah!"

Just then, a high familiar male scream was heard from the alley.

Hikari says, stunned, "What was that?"

Yusuke says, in a serious tone, "That's Syrus! I know that scream anywhere! Come on!"

From the alley, there were his bike and a pile of groceries lying on the ground by Syrus's battered body was laid. Hovering above him was tall form of Tyku Ryuuzaki, with a cold angered expression on his face. Tyku says, in an evil angered tone, as he kicked Syrus's right side hard, "That'll teach you, twerp!"

Kagome, Hikari and Kira's voice boomed, shocked and horrified, "Syrus!"

Tyku turned to see Chazz, Kagome and the Urameshi triples' shocked expression and Kira says, stunned, "It's Tyku!"

Hikari asks, horrified, "What the hell happened here?"

Syrus groans and says, unconsciously, "Please…Tyku…please stop!"

Tyku kicks Syrus's body and yells out, in an evil angered tone, "Shut up, runt!"

Everyone gasped in shock and Yusuke looks angrily at the blonde before him and yells out, in a cold angered tone, "You bastard! You're gonna pay!" Yusuke charges towards Tyku, ready to pound him

Kagome calls out, shocked, "Yusuke wait!"

It was too late, Yusuke's fist connected to Tyku's face. Tyku fell down to the ground hard. But Yusuke wasn't done yet and he grabs Tyku's shirt hard. He punches hard to Tyku's chest, broking his ribs, ripping a part of the white shirt that Yusuke grabbed. Tyku's body slams onto the ground hard, temporary stunning him.

Yusuke spits at his face in disgust and went to the injured Syrus, yelling out, "Syrus!" Yusuke carries Syrus in his arms while Hikari and Kagome were picking up the chips and drinks that Syrus carried.

Hikari says, "Let's take him home."

Yusuke nods, solemnly, thinking, "Anything is better than looking at this loser's face."

Kira picked up Syrus's bike and followed Chazz and her siblings and cousin to the Truesdales.

Hikari says, solemnly, "I can't believe that Tyku did this to Syrus!"

Kagome says, "I wonder if Keiko knows this, already."

Yusuke scoffs and says, coldly, "Who cares? If she knows then that's her problem and to think that I actually sorry for you for having such a trickster as a girlfriend."

Yusuke's sisters could feel the coldness from Yusuke's words and sighs solemnly.

(At the Truesdale household)

Yusuke, Chazz, Kagome, Hikari and Kira approached to the Truesdale household. Zane opened the door to reveal Mrs. Truesdale, Jaden, Ryoko and Kuwabara, who has already arrived and they gawked at Syrus, who being carried by Yusuke.

Mrs. Truesdale, Zane, Jaden and Kuwabara yells, shocked, "Syrus!" They ran towards their friend, son and brother's unconscious form and Zane asks, angered, "Who did this!?"

Hikari says, solemnly, "I'm sorry, Zane! It was that guy Keiko is seeing, Tyku Ryuuzaki!"

Zane says, in an angered tone, "He did this!"

Yusuke says, in a cold angered tone, "Yeah! That bastard did this! But, I made him pay for it!"

Kuwabara says, in an angered tone, "I knew that guy was bad news when I first saw him!"

Ryoko says, plainly, "Man that's ugly!"

Mrs. Truesdale says, in a serious tone, "Quick, let's get him inside!" With that, they ran into the house.

Kagome asks Yusuke, whispering, "Yusuke, do you remember your dreams about the S.D.F. capturing you?"

Yusuke tells Kagome, whispering, "Yeah, but I had to do it, Kagome. I mean, that creep hurt Syrus and I had to make him pay for it. Besides, as along as we're with Saiou, those dorky tools can't touch me, anymore."

Syrus was placed on his bed, gently by Yusuke and Kagome placed the covers over the small boy. Kagome says, solemnly, "I hope that Syrus will be okay."

Yusuke says, solemnly, "I hope so too."

(At the alley)

Tyku groans as he slowly regains consciousness and he thinks in his mind, in an evil tone, "Gees, that hurts! Hopefully, that little twerp friend of Urameshi's will be unconscious long enough for the plan to work. This is a foolproof plan and it has to stay that way."

Just then, a familiar feminine voice calls out, worriedly, "Tyku! Are you okay!?"

Tyku turns to see a worried Keiko Yukimura running towards his aid and placed an evil sly smile on his face, thinking, "There's another one born every minute."

Keiko asks, worriedly, "What happened!?"

Tyku groans out and says, while in pain, "It…it's Urameshi…he did this…"

Keiko gasped in shock and thinks in her mind, "Yusuke did this!"

(At the Truesdale household)

At the Truesdale household, we find Yusuke Urameshi, Kagome Higurashi, Jaden Yuki and Chazz Princeton sitting on the couch, while Zane Truesdale, Ryoko Lyon, Hikari and Kira Urameshi and Kazuma Kuwabara were sitting on the floor with the T.V. Mrs. Truesdale was by her youngest son's bedside, watching Syrus, in case he walks up.

The television announcer calls out, "Another win for the D!"

Yusuke exclaims, excitedly, "The D does it again!"

Hikari tells Zane, "Hey Zane, maybe you should watch out for this guy."

Zane tells Hikari, "Don't worry, Kari. I never lose."

Ryoko gets up and says, plainly, "I'm gonna see if Truesdale is okay." Ryoko walks towards Syrus's room.

Chazz asks Kagome, "Hey Kagome, are you going home sometime tomorrow."

Kagome says, "Yeah, I'm kind of homesick, you know." Yumi appears by Kagome and tells Kagome, mentally, "Hopefully, we can avoid those back stabbers at home."

Kagome narrowed her eyes to a cold glance as Eri's voice boomed, darkly, "How do you know that we really care about you, Kagome?" Next, Yuka's voice booms, darkly, "Do you honestly think that we love you as a sister to us?" Finally, Ayumi's voice darkly, "This is well hurt me more than it hurts you…Actually, I lied to you, I won't be hurt, but you on the other hand, Hag-o-me, will feel pain and lots of it!"

Kagome says, in a cold tone, mentally, "Yeah."

Just then, Sartorius's voice booms, into Yusuke's and Kagome's head, "Yusuke, Kagome, I need the two of you to meet me at the park, immediately."

Yusuke and Kagome got up from their seats and walked from the living room and to the door, which got Jaden's attention and he asks, perplexed, "Hey, where are you guys goin'?"

Yusuke says, in an emotionless tone, "We're going to home!" Without a word, Yusuke opens the door and Kagome walked out with Yusuke following, while closing the door behind him.

Ryoko says, "I wonder what that is all about."

Kuwabara thinks in his mind, "Yeah, they just left at the same time! I wonder…SARTORIUS!" Kuwabara jumps from floor and dashes towards the door, yelling out, "I've got to go, guys! I've got a huge final exam to study for and my sis'll kill me if I don't study! Later!" Kuwabara opened the door and closes it on his way out, while Chazz scoffs and thinks in his mind, "Dork!"

Kuwabara jogged away from the lawn and to the sidewalk, tracking down Yusuke and Kagome, without them noticing, while thinking in his mind, "This has to be the work of that damn brainwashing freak! It has to be! I hate lying to Syrus and the others, but Koenma told us not to tell any of this to Kari, Kira, Zane, Syrus, Ryoko, Chazz or Jaden and especially Keiko. There's no use of letting them be worried. We just need to concentrate on getting Urameshi and Kagome back from that brainwashing freak, without them knowing."

(At the park)

At the park, by the trees, we see Sartorius standing under the tree and looking at this pocket watch, with read 4:45p.m., with an evil smile and say, "It won't be long now."

Just then, a male voice asks, a cold serious tone, "Master Sartorius, are you sure that Urameshi and Higurashi will show?"

Sartorius looks at the owner of the voice and says, plainly, "Of course, they think that I'm the one that they trust the most."

(At the street)

At the street, we find Mrs. Yukimura walking with two bags of groceries, until she spotted Yusuke Urameshi and Kagome Higurashi walking at the other side of the street. She placed a smile on her face and was about to call out their names, until she spotted Sartorius walking towards them from the entrance to the park.

Mrs. Yukimura thinks in her mind, perplexed, "Who is this man?" She sees Yusuke and Kagome talking to him, with smiles on their faces and thought it was a friend of theirs. Suddenly something clicked in her mind and she thinks, "That man must be a friend of theirs, but he does look strange with that pale white… Wait a second! Long blue and white hair, wearing an Obelisk Blue graduate trench coat, blue eyes, earrings and pale white and strange looking face. It's him! So, he must be Saiou and the person that told Yusuke those lies about Keiko and it looks like he has Kagome with him. I better get a better look on the situation and possible to if he's the one, who's spreading those lies into Yusuke's head." Keiko's mother walked towards the other side of the street, after Sartorius walked into the park with Yusuke and Kagome following him.

She then walking into the park and quickly hid herself to the trees, while Kuwabara walked into the park, trying to find a place for him to hide. He then spotted Mrs. Yukimura by the trees, hiding.

He gasps, in shock and calls out, whispering, "Mrs. Y., what are you doing here?"

Mrs. Yukimura looked at Kuwabara and says, in a plain tone, "Kuwabara, I could be asking you that."

Kuwabara says, in a serious tone, "Look, Mrs. Y, it's not safe for you to be here."

Mrs. Yukimura tilted her head and says, "What are you talking about?"

Kuwabara stiffed, while trying to come up of an excuse for Keiko's mother to hear, so she wouldn't be able to listen in the conversation. He was about to speak, until Mrs. Yukimura placed the groceries on the ground and held her hand to Kuwabara's face and says, in a whisper, "Hold that thought, Kuwabara, they're about to start. Hopefully, we'll get to the bottom of this and it'll be over."

Kuwabara thinks in his mind, "Yeah, but it wouldn't be in our favor, I can tell you that."

Yusuke asks, plainly, "So, Saiou, why did you call us for?"

Sartorius says, with an evil smile, "I've heard what happened to your friend, Syrus Truesdale, and I'm sorry for what happened to him."

Mrs. Yukimura asks Kuwabara, in a serious tone, "What's he talking about? What happened to Syrus?"

Kuwabara says, in a low angered tone, "He was beaten up to a pulp by that jerk Keiko is seeing, Tyku Ryuuzaki!"

Mrs. Yukimura gasps in shock and says, worriedly, "Oh my god…is he okay?"

Kuwabara says, in a serious tone, "Yeah and Urameshi made him sorry for it by beating him up."

Mrs. Yukimura says, in a low angered and serious tone, "Mr. Yukimura and I knew that boy was bad news and this proves it."

(While at the other side of the park)

While at the other side of the park, we find a black limo parking by the edge of the entrance to the park. The door opens to reveal Holly, Inuyasha, in his human form, and his friends, including Koga and Ayame, getting out of the limo, except that they were wearing modern clothes. Inuyasha was wearing a red shirt and jeans with white sneakers, while his younger sister, Holly, was wearing a blue shirt, with and jeans with red sneakers. Koga was wearing a white shirt, jeans and a denim jacket, but he still had his fur hand band on his fore head, along with black tennis shoes. Ayame was wearing a red polo shirt with a white skirt to her knees, with red sneakers. Miroku was wearing a dark violent shirt with jeans and a pair of white sneakers. Sango was wearing a yellow shirt with jeans and yellow tennis shoes. Finally, Shippo had taken a form of a human eight-year-old boy with short brown hair and green eyes, wearing a yellow shirt with overalls and a pair of green tennis shoes.

Koga says, in his usual tone, "Man, that took too long! I've could have gotten here faster than this 'limousine' thing."

Inuyasha says, in his usual tone, "For once, I agree with you, wolf."

Miroku says, in his logical tone, "Yes, but this is another era, gentlemen. We must be able to blend in perfectly and judging what Maximillion told us is that Sartorius has made his appearance in this area."

Sango says, in a serious tone, "The sooner we find him, the sooner we get Kagome back."

Koga tells the group, seriously, "I'm picking up that lying bastard's scent, along Kagome's and other person with them."

Ayame says, seriously, "Koga's right! This person's scent is a mixture of a human and demon."

Shippo asks, "So, could there be another half demon like Inuyasha and Holly?"

Inuyasha says, in a serious tone, "That doesn't matter as long as Sartorius is going down."

Holly and Kagome's 'former' Feudal Era friends walked into the entrance of the park and sneaked into the park to while the getting into their hiding places. Miroku, Sango and Ayame hid behind the fountain and Inuyasha, Holly, Koga and Shippo hid in the trees to watch what is going to happen.

Yusuke says, with a cold sly smile, "Hey, Saiou, I got the Ice Dragon Deck now."

Sartorius says, with an evil smile, "Yes, I've heard about that, Yusuke. Excellent work. Now there's a matter of getting the Ice Spellcaster Deck."

Kagome says, with a cold tone and a cold sly smile, "Don't worry about that, I'm already on it."

Kagome's 'former' Feudal Era friends, except for Inuyasha, gasps in shock at the hint of coldness from Kagome's voice.

Shippo says, a low plain tone, "Whoa! Kagome's voice sounded cold."

Koga says, a low angered tone, "Yeah, no kidding. What could that bastard did to her?"

Inuyasha was growling in anger, while looking at Sartorius and thinks in his mind, angrily, "Damn you! You're gonna pay for what you did to Kagome, you bastard."

Sartorius says, with an evil sadistic smile, "I'm glad that the two of you could come, because I have startling news for you, especially for Yusuke."

Yusuke asks, in a cold tone, "What do you mean, Saiou?"

Just then, a male voice calls out, a cold serious tone, "He means me, Urameshi!"

Yusuke thinks in his mind, coldly, "That voice!" He and Kagome whipped their heads to see a face that they would never see ever again.

Yusuke yells out, in a cold angered tone, "YOU!!"
