I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho. This is fan fiction only.
The training made both Shizuru and Yusuke think the same thing. Hell must be a land of peace, love, and rainbows compared to the things they had to endure during their training. He even began to question the fact that she actually had any positive feelings for him at all, or she simply wanted to kill him to keep him to herself.
The different reasons depend on the time of day you would ask him. Finally after a whole week of being through a training camp that would make the cruelest, sadistic drill instructor cry and call for his mama. He finally received the tools he would receive as needed. He also got a case that made no sense at all.
Some people beat up some of King Yama's guards and broke into his royal treasure vault and they stole a mirror no one knows what it does, a knife, and an orb. "Koenma you must be kidding me what is so special about a lame bash and grab? Don't you have soldiers to deal with this kind of lame thing?"
Koenma appeared in a mirror on the wall and he was not happy. "Oh, sure it is lame, did I forget to mention that my father would send his army, but to destroy the entire human realm to get these items back. So unless you want to date that lover of yours as a ghost, I would get those items before my father decides to get them himself. "
This troubled Yusuke for a bit, if they only killed most of his high school teachers he would actually hug the person who did it and thank him or her profusely, OK the other side he did not want to even think how angry Botan would be with that workload.
As he walked through a large forested area he began feeling something strange, he soon realized he found his crooks and he got near he heard them talk to each other. "It was brilliant how Kurama broke through their defenses. Thanks to him we were able to obtain we obtained these treasures. With this sword, I can make an army of demon slave soldiers."
"With this orb, we will be able to feed them all, and with Kurama's mirror, we will be invincible. " At this time the handsome red-haired young man got up." Although I wish you had not killed the guards, you two will excuse me our partnership ends here. I have a very urgent need for this mirror and I will leave now.. "
Yusuke walked toward the people that had stolen the items. " Thought for the witless, if you steal things that valuable hide your blasted demon energy. You stick out like a woman in the gay pride parade. " Hiei was the first to look at him." well to our defense humans can feel demon energy at all... You must be the local spirit world hitman. "
" That is me, Yusuke Urameshi and you three I give a couple of choices since you three are so friendly. One option is you give me those items and promise to repent and never do it again. After you serve a few years in prison for killing those guards. The other is I beat the ever-greedy daylights out of you and take the items. Your choice. But please make it quick I got a date in a couple of hours. "
The big guy seems to laugh, " While I would love to be nice and take up the first choice. You sort of were rather rude listening in a private conversation so I chose number two. Could you guys beat it and let me have him to myself, he doesn't look like he can feed many people."
Hiei told the guy to try not to choke on something so foul. Kurama's simply left and said he would find him later but right now he was simply too busy to stay and have a proper chat.
"You have to excuse them, demon's like we tend to be rather busy these days. " Yusuke rushed him and punched him in the gut. " Don't worry so much, it's bad for your health, then again so am I. " The guy introduced himself as Gouki and he asked if he could change into something more comfortable.
He began to double in size and grew horns on his head. "I am an ogre there is nothing you can do to injure anything vital... " Yusuke simply said that there are worse things he can do than kill him, as he got ready to fight Gouki. He rushed at him and began throwing punches at Yusuke but he began to block them with very little effort, "So we are doing a warm-up, good, smart thing to do but seriously you need to stretch a little when you punch like that, use your hips, and that should really make the punch feel a lot more fluid and less stiff."
Gouki glared at him and demanded to know how the hell can he blocked his punches like that, wasn't he a human? "And when did I ever say that I was a human? my father happens to be a demon, but my mother is supposed to be a human, even if some people think she is worse than the devil sometimes. Now come on, we need to really stretch and warm up before we have our fight, so come on, let's cut loose and have some fun."
Gouki asked why was he doing this if his father was a demon? Why would one ever consider becoming a hitman for Spirit World? Yusuke merely smiled and told him it gives him a few opportunities he wouldn't have otherwise, interesting situations and possible fun people to fight, what is there to complain about?
"Will you just tell me what is your father's name?" Yusuke simply kept trading punches and kicks with Gouki as he began to think about it for a few minutes, and as he finally decided to tell him he laughed, "You probably never even heard of him, isn't Demon World bigger than the Human World? Well, whatever, my father's name as far as what my mother told me is Raizen."
Gouki was so shocked to hear the name of one of the kings of Demon World that he didn't evade one punch and hit hard on the kisser with one hell of a right hook. Gouki felt a little dizzy and dazed as he began to shake his head trying to clear his mind. "You do realize that is one of the demon kings, don't you? Why would a prince of demons help by doing the bidding of King Enma?"
Yusuke told him that he knows and he knows the problems his dear old dad is going through, after going all anorexic and stopping eating humans. Deep down much like his father, he found love in the human world and now was doing this to keep the place safe, sure if he simply took the people he loves to his father's domain he probably wouldn't have to do anything but that would make them either angry or sad, and that is something to be avoided.
Just about when Gouki was about to say something Yusuke grabbed something from his pants pocket and threw it in such a way that it went into Gouki's open mouth, he literally had to swallow it to keep himself from choking. "That was a cheap move, what the hell was that?" Yusuke told him it was an early version of a pill he was making, this thing would help him be able to either eat spirit energy or be able to eat normal food, no need to use that orb or eat souls, it might have some side effects since it is still on the testing phase.
Hearing him say that he realized that he no longer needed the orb to keep himself fed anymore, he decided to give up but asked if they could fight for a little bit more, he wanted to see how strong the self-proclaimed demon prince really was. "Ok, but don't forget you asked for it."" As the fight finally ended Botan came to find Gouki breathing pretty hard as she asked what the hell happened?
Yusuke told her that Gouki surrendered and not to worry he has the orb, "So you take care of taking Gouki into custody and maybe get him something to eat, I will go and catch those two that left me here with Gouki. Like I said Gouki use your hips and your punch should have been a lot stronger." Botan was stunned to see Gouki nodding his head and simply waiting for his hands to be placed in restraints like he was ready to be taken into custody as Yusuke walked away.
Kurama and Yusuke sit on a park bench and he begins to tell him that he originally was a Spirit Fox, named Yoko. He initially began to break security seals and later a wide array of defenses simply because he was bored. He was badly injured by a spirit detective and had to seek refuge in the body of a human woman who was just pregnant.
The plan was that he would grow as her child and as he did he would regain his health and power. But the thing he did not anticipate was that her husband died and she had to raise him all alone working two and sometimes three jobs. "Seeing my supposed mother work herself to such a state of exhaustion made me realize that I was loved for the first time ever. "
"I also found that this feeling was mutual as I did love her as such, my mother. She is mortally ill and all I ask is that you allow me to make a single wish tomorrow night, to save the life of my mother. If you do I will give you the mirror and I will surrender to you. Please I beg you let me save the life of the only woman who has ever loved me. "
Yusuke considered the request and saw he did have enough time to complete his mission since he actually never was told a deadline. " Very well but I must be present when you make your wish, however, make no mistake if you wish for anything else. I will destroy the mirror and then you." Kurama promised that he would not and thanked him for granting his request.
Little did the two know that Hiei was actually listening to every single word they spoke? He always liked Yoko and was grateful to him for his help. So he too decided not to interfere with the wish he was about to make, he believed that if he could make a wish fondest wish would be to be able to live with his mother and sister as a happy family.
As Botan saw Yusuke leave to meet with the criminal now named Kurama, Koenma appeared before her and told her to stop Kurama from making a wish. The mirror would grant any wish but not for free, the cost would be the life of the person who made the wish.
Kurama on the roof of the hospital told him this as the moon had begun to shine on the mirror. "Forlorn hope listen to my heart's desire, Grant this woman a life of health." The mirror spoke in a refined voice. "You wish for the health of your mother, I shall grant this wish but my price will be your life, do you accept."
"Mirror guy listens to me, you can take anyone's life then take mine and let Kurama live with his mother. " Kurama was shocked as he heard Yusuke say these words. " I should be the one to die, it is my wish you have no reason to die for it. " Yusuke slapped him across the face. " She will have health and long life of misery, no mother wants to be the cause of her only son's death. No mother deserves that pain and sadness. "
" Your wish shall be granted. " The mirror began to grant his wish as soon as Botan arrived believing she was too late. The wish was granted but they were both alive." I have granted the wish without taking life in honor of your selfless deed. " Yusuke was hugged by Botan as she landed on the roof. "If you will excuse me I must see if my mother is alright. If you wish to arrest me I will come back."
Yusuke told him not to worry spend some time with his mom and promise to make her happy. Kurama left as Yusuke picked up the mirror. "Two down and only the sword left. I do hope Hiei is as reasonable."
"I wouldn't hold my breath, Hiei is well known to be a ruthless person, and he will want these two items we have and will try to obtain them by any means necessary. " Hiei was not without reason. He needed to form a kingdom for when he finally found his sister, a place where his precious sister would be safe.
To be able to even get her he was going to need an army to break into the place and find Yukina and a safe place where he could know she was safe. He underwent a hellish operation just so that he can keep an eye on her, and now a filthy fat man was making her cry to profit from her tears.
He saw walking in the streets someone who was out of place, the young woman had a beautiful physique but she chose to wear a business suit, to hide her beauty. "You wouldn't be someone special to a friend of mine?" Shizuru looked at him and told him depends on who his friend was.
Hiei laughed and told her it was Yusuke Urameshi, "Yes I am, I guess you can call me his wife. What do you want with my husband?" Hiei smiled at her and told her to relax. "Your dearly beloved has two items I want, all I want to is to trade you for them. I can force you, but hurting women was never my favorite thing. I rather you come with me so I can avoid it."
"My husband is going to be angry and try to beat your head in. " Hiei told her where to walk." Make no mistake about it. I want him to try, it is always important to defend the people you care about. I would not consider him my friend if he didn't try. "
A few hours later he actually showed up. " What took you this long Yusuke? I was beginning to think you didn't care about her, since a girl in a kimono hugged you last night. " Yusuke stepped to the center of the warehouse and placed both items on the ground. "Not my fault that you draw a map like a first grader. I was even lucky to find this place. "
Hiei laughed and walked up to him. "My bad, I tried to make it as simple as possible. I guess I should have just written the address and the street on the corner. So you plan to give me these items without a fight?"
"No, I just placed them there so that they would not be damaged during the fight. I will make you pay for threatening my beloved Shizuru don't make the mistake of that." Hiei took off his bandana and his third eye was exposed. His body began to change and show he had eyes all over the front of his body.
"No Yusuke the one to make the mistake was you for challenging me. I will enjoy beating you and taking these items. When I am done I will make you my first soldier. We will have so much fun conquering this world Yusuke, who knows you might actually enjoy being my demon slave. " The fight at first was 'one-sided and the reason was that he had mirrors all over the place, he could not hide at all, so his chances to ambush were gone.
In a straight fight, he could block any punch or kick since he saw it coming. He needed to figure out a way to beat him. If the spirit gun was a light attack maybe he could use the mirrors to make an impossible shot. He bent his back towards the floor and as Hiei appeared to try and jump-kick him he shot his spirit gun slamming hard on his back and making him lean towards Yusuke.
He straighten his posture and with no time to evade he was hit by a colossal hit to the head and he could not believe it. 'You have got to be kidding me, I lost to a headbutt of all things.' Yusuke bonded him and with that Shizuru was rescued and the last of the items was recovered. Koenma would be one happy boss since none of the items were in fact damaged.
"Yusuke why a headbutt of all things? " Shizuru complained as she felt embarrassed that he won with something so simple. " You were the one to tell me. KISS, Keep It Simple Stupid. Why am I getting a sermon for listening to my wife's advice? "
Kurama was just outside the warehouse ready to jump in if Yusuke needed some help. He was glad that both people he considered his friend did not harm each other too badly. " The only thing hurt was his ego, but Hiei is strong he will recover from that. Thank goodness I chose not to fight him. If that spirit blast hit me I would be severely injured."
