I'm back!
Didn't expect two in one night did ya?
Well I hope you all enjoy!
"Bye sweetie I'll see you tomorrow!"
Yuri waved her camera at her best friend as they parted ways, looking down she started clicking through the photos before her world went dark.
Waking up with a bad headache and unable to move her arms, she looked around at the stone palace she was in.
"Where am I?"
She voiced as a screen popped on showing Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei, and Kurama walking.
"Wait. I'm in demon world?"
She looked around in shock before realizing she could see her tail meaning her glamor was down.
"So, you've figured it out."
She jumped as a demon with blonde hair approached her.
"You're one of the saint beasts. What am I doing here?"
Getting a sinking feeling she knew she was outmatched. Slowly the other three saint beasts appeared.
"Simple little vixen, in case your friends decide they're too afraid to continue on, you'll be the bait."
Yuri growled lowly.
"What makes you think you can use me as bait?"
The leader cackled.
"Your cousin is the one in green, correct? And I'm sure Kurama wouldn't want his little fox injured."
Growling again she glared.
"Allow me to introduce ourselves, we don't want to seem rude. I am Suzaku, that is Genbu, Byakko, and Seiryuu."
"We should kill her and be done."
Seiryuu the ice master sneered at her.
"She smells good, she should be held in my domain."
Yuri shrunk back as the tiger demon Byakko sniffed at her. On the screen the group made it past the Door of Betrayal.
"She will go with Genbu. Once he has disposed of them then you can have her Byakko."
Yuri felt fear run down her spine as a faint memory sparked but was gone seconds later as Genbu grabbed her and sunk into the floor before dropping her into his domain.
"Sit there and watch. It won't take long to get rid of these pests."
As she sat up the door to the domain was opened and the guys walked in.
"Let me, Lord Genbu, pamper you from now on! There's only one stairway leading upwards here. Now you either defeat me and get the vixen Yuri or become a sea of dead corpses!"
Genbu slammed his tail into the floor creating a small crater.
"Attack together. And save me the trouble."
Genbu taunted before Yusuke realized the demon on the floor was his cousin.
"Yuri? You're a demon!"
"What?!"
Yuri rolled her eyes at the two humans.
"Yes, Yusuke. Now get me out of here!"
Her voice remained level as her emotionless face fell back into place.
"How can we do battle with monsters like that?" Kuwabara freaked out until Kurama stepped forward, malice clear in his eyes as he focused on Yuri who clearly couldn't move but also had obvious bruising starting to form.
"Allow me."
Yusuke tried to stop him.
"Kurama!"
Kurama calmly explained.
"It's dangerous to attack together when we have no information of the enemy. Besides, I can't just allow Hiei to showcase his prowess."
Hiei glared before also focusing on the vixen.
"Shut up."
Genbu smirked.
"So you choose to die one by one? Fine with me. You get to enjoy your friend's death one at a time." He cackled back at Yuri who growled lowly enough only the demons heard it. Yusuke tried to argue again.
"But that's too dangerous! We might as well just find a way to sneak upstairs."
Hiei sighed.
"That's because you don't understand Kurama's true abilities! Let me tell you why I allied with him. I did that because I didn't want him as an enemy. Facing an opponent who wishes to harm himself, his extremely cool composure wins mine hands down. His malice towards anyone that threatens what's his is unmatched."
Hiei added the last bit quietly only catching Yuri's attention causing her to raise an eyebrow.
"Come on! Attack as and where you please. If you don't come over, I'll be going over!"
Kurama taunted the rock demon.
"Kurama watch out!"
Yuri shouted as Genbu moved his tail into the ground and behind Kurama before attacking him, catching Kurama in the stomach. Good thing I can heal that. Yuri thought as Kurama held the bleeding wound.
"My tail moves within the rocks as I merge with it!"
The group freaked out at Kurama getting hurt. Protect the fox. Suiichi heard Yoko in his mind as he stood up.
"My ability is to merge with the boulders and move freely within it. In other words. I am all around this house! You can't escape from me!"
Yusuke asked if he was alright. "Don't worry, it's just a scratch. His surprise attack merely gave me a fright." Kurama stated.
"I'll see how stubborn you can be. The show's only starting now!"
Genbu sank into the floor as he cackled. Only to appear behind Kurama, as he turned Genbu's tail appeared behind him. Kurama quickly dodged and landed smoothly on the floor. Everytime Genbu tried to attack Kurama dodged before finally pulling out a rose from his hair, Yuri shook her head slightly as a faint memory of the same gesture from someone with silver hair hit her before she lost it. Why am I getting these memories all of a sudden, and what does it have to do with Kurama? She questioned herself while Kurama formed the rose into a thorned whip, the room filling with the light scent. So that's his plan. Very smart. Yuri felt herself smirk a little as Kurama cut Genbu to pieces. The group started to celebrate when Yuri spotted Genbu putting himself back together.
"Enough celebrating. It's not over yet." Yuri growled, her face showing how annoyed she was for once. Kurama cut Genbu in pieces again before he reformed again. Kurama cut him again this time, receiving a few more cuts this time. Genbu reformed only to form in the wrong order causing everyone to laugh. Frantically he started looking for something before Kurama held up a red rock.
"Are you looking for this?"
Kurama smirked before his eyes narrowed.
"I suppose this is the control tower for your being able to assemble yourself after being torn to bits. You did well in hiding it from my view, but the sparkle of light it glows with then you're using it cannot escape my eyes. I expertise in seeking what the other seeks to hide, because I am by nature a bandit."
Ganbu started to panic.
"Ah! Hang on! Don't hurt that thing!"
Kurama smirked.
"I refuse!"
He stated before tossing the rock in the air and slicing it in half causing it to shatter and then Genbu to shatter.
"Finished him! Serves him right!"
Yuri breathed a sigh of relief until Kurama fell to one knee.
"Just leave the rest to us now!"
Yusuke smirked.
"That's great guys. You realize if someone gets me out of these I can heal him. Right?"
Yuri became more annoyed.
"Sorry Yuri."
Yusuke quickly helped his cousin sit up and noticed that he couldn't get the steel cuffs off.
"Kurama, can you get these off?"
Yusuke asked while the rest of the little group walked over, calmly Kurama used his rose whip to cut through the cuffs causing her to bring her wrist up to see the metal had been cutting into her skin. With a heavy sigh she let Yusuke help her up as she focused on healing Kurama's wounds. Within a few minutes all of his wounds were healed and the group moved on.
"So you're a demon?"
Yusuke asked, staring at his cousin.
"Yes."
Yusuke looked in thought for a moment.
"So, what are you?"
Kurama smirked.
"I'm a snow kitsune."
"Does mom know?"
Yuri sighed.
"No. I showed up in the human world with a glitchy glamor that I didn't know how to hold with no memory. Another Spirit Detective found me and took me to Koenma, who sent me to Genkai's to learn how to appear human, hold onto my glamor for long periods of time, and show me how to use my powers. Then I was placed in an orphanage where your aunt and uncle adopted me. Koenma attempted to train me as a Spirit Detective but I wasn't cut out for all the fighting. So now I gather information for him."
Yusuke nodded as he vaguely remembered when she had been introduced into the family.
"That actually makes a lot of sense. So that fox at Genkai's was you?"
Yuri nodded her head as Kuwabara tried to convince everyone to let him fight the next one when a roar shook the walls around them.
"It's the roar of Brakko. He doesn't sound like he's in a good mood."
That's it for this one!
