Sapphire Gems (Thank you, this chapter and yep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Heavenly Demon (Hehehe... Me? Evil? I don't know what you're talking about... 'hides pitchfork behind her back,' Thanks for the review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

tbiris (Thank you!!!! Actually, I get lots of compliments for my OCs. I don't like the goody-goody two shoes either. And I kinda like the more badass characters. I know... 'sigh...)

DV- ^_^ YAY!!!! I'm so happy I'm getting so many positive reviews!!!

Chiisai- Don't ask me why. I still say this story stinks

DV- Well, as my muse, you should be the one taking all the blame if this story stinks. After all, you're my inspiration, therefore anything I write is your fault.

Kagome- She has a point…

Chiisai- That's right, blame it all on the fairy!!!

DV- -_-;;; Anyways, here's chapter 3, me still no own anyone but Senshi (but I'm working on the others) and the Yuyu gumi FINALLY enters the picture. And I decided that, instead of an Hiei POV, I'd try something different…

Key;

Fukushû

.o0O0o. YUSUKE .o0O0o.

"DAMN IT, MOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Okay, I admit I'm no damn Einstein, but even I know better than to stand around gaping when an enormous blast of youki was coming straight at me.

Kuwabara only just got out of the way, and our newest mission laughed coldly as we tried to figure out a way to get that fucking helmet.

"Don't tell me you boys have had enough? I was just starting to have fun…" Do all youkai chicks have permanent PMS or something? They're seriously beyond cruel… "Well I'm sure we can find ways to make this interesting. After all, I doubt you boys can even touch me, let alone kill me,"

Right now, the person I most wanted to kill was Koenma. Stupid toddler… You think he would've upped security on that stupid vault after the whole incident with Hiei and Kurama but nooo… Now here we were, up against some psycho chick with a grudge against the Reikai who stole some supped up helmet with the ability to power up youki and increase spiritual awareness.

"I know how we can make this fun! A trip to the Ningenkai. Won't that be interesting? I've always wanted to go there," and with that, the chick, who introduced herself as Josei Nozomi (Which seemed to surprise Kurama when he heard it,) and the rest of us where left floating around in some freaky between world place until we touched ground in the Ningenkai.

Did I mention the added bonus of freaky teleke-whatsis powers? Yeah, well, she had those now, too. Wait a second, wasn't that…?

"…The Statue of Liberty?! What the Hell?!?!" I yelled, blinking up at the famous landmark of the west.

"Apparently, Josei didn't specify where in the Ningenkai she wanted to land," Kurama said, keeping his eyes on the demoness. "So the helmet chose for her."

"Great. Headgear with a mind of it's own. Now what are we supposed to do?"

"Easy, we get the helmet back. With or without the onna's head still attached," Hiei responded, drawing his katana. Well, that's Hiei for ya. A real charmer. On the other hand, that sounded like one hell of a good plan to me. Charging up my energy, I aimed at Josei.

"SPIRIT GUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She smirked and put up an energy shield, not only blocking my fucking energy, but shooting it right back at me! I dodged, only to find her right in front of me, still smirking, her face so close to mine, our lips where brushing.

"You should just give up while you're ahead." She whispered before kicking me in the gut. Damn. I'm glad Keiko's not here. She'd have killed me before Jusei could even think about making that hit if she'd seen that. Right, now then, back to the fight.

Kuwabara was currently clutching his head and muttering something about giant purple poodles, the victim of the psycho helmet I guess, Hiei was dodging blasts of ki Jusei was shooting at him and Kurama seemed be trying to pull some kind of stunts with a bunch of his demon flower seeds and talking to some Americans at the same time. Couldn't understand a word of it, though. My English sucks.

While Jusei was distracted with Hiei, I charged up another spirit gun, deciding to attack the problem straight at the source.

"SPIRIT GUN!!!!!!" Jusei turned sharply at my yell, just like I figured she would, and my ki hit the jewel in the center of the helmet. Sparks of wild youki flared from the broken jewel, and Kuwabara blinked back into reality. Jusei scowled at me.

"You boys are just like bugs, aren't you? Annoying, and difficult to get rid of."

"Yeah, we're funny that way," I said, grinning, "But I think you should be worrying less about bugs, and more about flowers," Jusei raised an eyebrow.

"…Flowers?"

Just after she said that, Kurama's plants wrapped around her body, keeping her from moving. She yelled in surprise and the helmet's jewel flickered. Next thing we knew, we were in that hyper space place again.

"Can't you just stick a place and stay with it?!?!" I yelled to Jusei.

"I didn't do this one!" She shot back. We landed in what looked like a super sized crater surrounded by monstrous, jagged, spiky rocks that made a complete circle around the crater. There were no plants, and no way in or out other than the opening above us, showing the Makai sky. Not only that, this whole place felt… powerful. Jusei laughed. "So, the helmet chose to bring us to the place I'm most familiar with."

"What, you trained here?!" Kuwabara said in disbelief.

"Yes. This is the last place my idol was seen alive, before Reikai scum such as yourself killed her. But as you can see, even in death, she's left her mark on the Makai. Feel lucky, boys, most demons fear coming here."

"This place has a really strange feel to it, guys,"

"We know," I said dryly. "If I can feel it, believe me, we all know."

"No you don't understand, It feels really familiar. Almost like Youko or something." Kurama's head snapped up at the mention of his kitsune side. Jusei blinked at him in surprise.

"Youko Kurama?" She asked before smirking, "While I don't know how you know what his energy feels like, I will say that it doesn't surprise me that the two energies are similar. After all, the two were closely matched rivals," Kurama's eyes narrowed.

"I see," he said, "So then, this is the gravesite of Senshi Nozomi," I saw his hand clutch when he said that, and his eyes flashed gold for a second. I moved away a little, not in a hurry to be introduced to one of Youko's death trees.

"Very good," Jusei cooed. "Yes, the mountain kitsune that the great thief himself could not defeat, and one of the few legendary female warriors. No male could bring her to her knees,"

"Then were is she now?" I asked, dryly. Jusei glared at me.

"The only reason the Reikai defeated Senshi was because they used a miko to drain her magic. She still managed to kill 15 of the 20 fighters on her bear strength. She probably would've gotten more, but it was after Youko Kurama had died, and people said she was angry that she wasn't the one to kill him." Kurama gave a humorless smile at that.

"And you took her name out of respect," Kurama said calmly (AN; Nozomi is the last name of both Jusei and Senshi, if you haven't noticed by now.)

"My own parents died when I was young, and I admired Senshi in all the stories I heard of her. I learned everything I could about her, and wanted to finish what she started. I wanted to make a female the most feared fighter in all three realms!!!" Her aura flared around her, and dust blew up at her feet.

"Shit," I said, blocking my face with an arm. "Well, we won't get that stupid helmet back by standing around like a bunch of idiots…"

"Let me finish this," What the-? Kurama?!?! "Her fighting style is similar to Senshi Nozomi's is without her magic. Now that I've realized that, I can finish this fight on my own.

"You sure?" I asked, frowning. There was something really weird about all of this.

"Let him go," Hiei said shortly. "This is his fight, anyways," grumbling a bit, I relaxed my stance. What the Hell happened between that Senshi chick and Youko to get Kurama acting so funny? I sighed as he stepped forward. Damn youkai… always so fucking secretive…

"Rose Whip!!!!!" Jusei leapt out of the way of the rose whip, and jumped towards Kurama. Then, Kurama flick his wrists some weird way, and the girl was tangled into his whip. Gasping in surprise, she struggled to get out. Kurama, threw a seed at her, and another of his freaky plant things wound itself around Jusei, tightening as she struggled.

"Damn- you… Let me go!!!!!!!!"

"It's no use. Only one fighter has ever been able to free themselves from this plant, and she had to use her own, unique brand of magic." Kurama said, drawing his vine whip back. "I guess I misjudged your skills. I thought that you trained in a way similar to the warrioress, but now I see you simply learned to crudely copy her fighting style." With a flick of his wrist, the helmet was in his hands. Damn, tricks like that are kinda cool…

"What do you know?!?!?!" Jusei snapped as Kurama began to walk away. He paused to answer her.

"More about your idol than you could ever dream," then, he turned to me. "You should call Botan on the communicator, and tell her we have the helmet," he said, before passing the helmet to Kuwabara and continuing on his way.

"Huh? Oh! Right. Helmet." I took out the stupid communication mirror, "Yo Botan, we got the stupid helmet back."

"Excellent work! I'll make a portal to send you back to the Ningenkai and come pick up Jusei and the artifact."

"Gotcha," I shut the communicator and slid it back in my pocket. Nothing to do now but wait.

"And just what do you think you're doing?!?!?!" Jusei demanded. I turned to see Kurama frowning at a rock.

"You okay?" I asked him. Without answering me Kurama raped his knuckles against the stone. "What are you-!" I froze as a freaky Makai earthquake started, and all the energy around us came together at that one rock. "What the fuck?!?!?!?!"

The front part of the rock started falling away, oddly enough missing the kitsune standing right in front of it. When it stopped, all anyone could do was stare.

Kurama narrowed his eyes at the rock, then walked away from it. The rest of us just stood there with our jaws hanging.

Rising from the rock was one word;

Fukushû

--------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------

DV- For those of you who don't know, Fukushû means vengeance in Japanese.

Chiisai- Now yell at DV for taking so long to get this chapter up.

DV- That wasn't my fault!!! I've been completely stressed out lately, and I mean to the point were I had a break down. I'll try to get the next chapter up sooner, but Junior teachers are really unsympathetic bastards.

Yusuke- `Smirking' I got a POV!

DV- Yeah, well, I figured since You lost the vote on Fight for thy heart, I'd let you have one here.

Inu- What about me!!!

DV- You already have a POV in Blood Sisters. Besides, I had two Inuyasha POVs, so I need to Yuyus to even them out. I know this chapter stinks, but It was more of a filler until the interesting stuff starts happening, so bear with me.

Sango- Don't forget to review on your way out!!!!!!!!!!!
