Ch. 3
Exiled? Not really…
Keiko had gone through the whole day waiting for Yusuke. She watched Sanosuke and
followed him everywhere he went, trying to catch him before he left with those
demons. She had a sneaking suspicion that Yuki was following her.
"That girl is so annoying," mumbled Keiko. She thought back to earlier that morning.
(Flashback)
Keiko and Botan had snuck back to their cabin only to see Yuki glaring at them.
"Where were you two? Did you sneak out after we went to sleep?"
Keiko rolled her eyes. "We didn't sneak out. We just got up earlier than everyone
else."
"Who gets up, and wanders around in their nightgowns after an extremely hot ,but
dangerous demon is somewhere walking around. I wouldn't, especially in those skimpy
things." said Yuki, pointing to Keiko gown.
Keiko glared, and walked past her. Botan spoke for her. "Please, Keiko wouldn't want
to see that pervert again, anywhere."
Ami looked at Keiko strangely. "Perverted? How do you know he's a pervert? You
didn't talk to him, did you? Oh my god, did you see him? Did he try to rape you? I
bet he did! We have to tell the elders before he comes back!"
By this time Ami was frantic, stumbling over her own feet, trying to grab Keiko.
"Calm down, Ami. He didn't try anything with me. Okay? Just calm down." Keiko
assured her.
Ami wasn't buying it so Botan told her what happened. "…so Yusuke rubbed her butt,
Keiko slapped him, and we left."
Ami looked horrified at the fact that Botan talked so nonchalantly about a demon
sexually molesting her best friend.
Yuki pouted, "I wish that was me. I wouldn't have slapped him. How did it feel,
Keiko? Was his hands rough, or really soft, and did he just rub your butt or did he
kinda pinch it a little."
All the girls just looked at Yuki. Keiko's eyes twitched, 'What's wrong with this
girl? She's so weird!'
(End flashback)
Keiko shook her head. At that moment she heard a scream. Keiko ran outside to see
the entire village in a large circle. Keiko pushed through the crowd to see what all
the commotion was. Botan ran up behind her. In the center was Sanosuke, bruised and
bleeding. A few men of the village had been beating him by the orders of Kaemon.
"This boy is a traitor to the village," Kaemon explained to the crowd. "It is
because of him the demons came to our peaceful village. He must be properly punished
for his treachery."
The men had begun kicking Sanosuke anywhere there was an opening. They kicked him
mostly in the stomach, but a few times Sanosuke was kicked in the head as well.
Keiko ran and pushed a man away from him. She couldn't stand the sadistic pleasure
beating a child was giving them. Botan pushed down the man before he could grab
Keiko. Keiko huddled over Sanosuke, trying to angle his head so he didn't bleed so
much.
"Get out of the way, girl. Are you siding with a traitor? Do you want us all to
die?" one man screamed.
"He's just a little boy! He's done nothing wrong!" pleaded Botan to the crowd.
A burly man kicked Botan out the way. Botan fell next to Sanosuke, who was fading in
and out of consciousness. Keiko looked at Botan and then her attacker. She stood
straight, trying to intimidate him.
"You have no right to do this. How dare you? Sanosuke only came back to collect his
stuff! Do you really think one child endangers the whole village?" added Keiko.
"Sanosuke has been telling lies to the demons about us! He should have left earlier
when he had the chance to do so." said Kaemon.
"He was going to leave as soon as he got his stuff." Keiko countered.
"That little bastard his no stuff. Everything he had the elders gave to him. And
this is how he repays our great generosity? Having demons burn down our homes!
Wounding the other elders! " snarled Kaemon.
"None of this is his fault, Kaemon. Yusuke was right. You people are despicable,
especially you," yelled Keiko pointing at Kaemon.
Keiko's words earned her a slap as one man struck her in the face. Tears welled up
as a bruise formed on Keiko's cheek.

"Ok, I know we aren't supposed to speak out against the elders, but these men are
beating up girls. That’s shameless!" said Kuwabara, reasoning with the crowd. "I
think the kid's been through enough too."
Keiko sighed. Finally someone was taking up for them. Kaemon looked beyond angry.
"Decades now, I've watched over this village with Kenjiro, and none have questioned
our wisdom. Now that this village has met its first crisis in years, every child
thinks they know more than I do. It was I who protected this village from evil."
Kaemon's eyes shifted to Kuwabara. "And do not forget, Kuwabara, it was I who
trained you."
Kuwabara stood silent. Keiko looked around at the crowd's faces, looking for any
sympathy. Amongst the other villagers, she saw her parents. Her mother looked scared
for her, but her father's face was that of annoyance and a little fear of his own.
"Yusuke…Yusuke." Sanosuke was moving, and calling out for Yusuke in a small voice.
Sanosuke rolled a bit, and pulled Pu from his small body.
"Pu, go find Yusuke," Sanosuke said shakily.
Pu lifted up only to hover over the little boy. Pu began to glow, engulfing Sanosuke
in its light.
"Look damnit. The boy is calling for another attack. Kill him before the demons get
here!" Kaemon exclaimed.
Botan stood up, and balled up her fists at the oncoming men. She knew she wasn't
very strong, but she was ready for a fight.
Kuwabara never remembered his master being so deranged. Of course nothing like this
had ever happened before. Sure, a few demons had come, attempting to take over, but
Kuwabara always sent them packing. 'What is it about this Yusuke demon that Kaemon
would kill a child to avoid seeing him.' pondered Kuwabara. 'I don't see why
everyone's going crazy over a guy that we haven't even seen fight once. I don't
think he's as strong as everyone thinks. He probably isn't even a demon. Just some
human that thinks he's too good for the rest of us.'
Kaemon was hysterical as he saw the three figures over the horizon. Pu flew to his
master leading the others.
"I-I won't have you endanger us anymore," Kaemon stammered. "You four are exiled.
Banished from this place and anyone who even attempts to befriend them will be
executed without question."
Keiko's eyes widened. "All because we tried to help?"
"You don't know your place. Children are meant to be seen, not heard. Now leave
quickly."
However it was too late. Standing before them was Yusuke, but his eyes weren't the
people. His eyes were on Sanosuke. Sanosuke could barely move, but made an effort
when he saw Yusuke.
"Stay down you little shit," shouted one man. He had been one of the men kicking
Sanosuke, and he raised his fist to hit him. Before his head rose all the way up,
Yusuke had already caught his fist with his hand. Yusuke's eyes were now boring
holes into Kaemon, even as he continued to crush the other man's hand.
"Please! Have mercy!" the man mustered out.
For the first time Yusuke looked at the man and gave a sadistic smirk.
"Fool, I WAS showing mercy." His grip tightened. "Now, not so much."
Yusuke held his pointer finger against the man's stomach even as he squirmed. He
then pulled the man's ear close to her lips and whispered, "Spirit Gun."
The energy that came from Yusuke was enormous, and the roar of the blast is
deafening. The hole made in that man's body was the size of his head. The hole
actually showed where Yusuke had blown away parts of his ribs and tissue. The man
gurgled a bit of blood before his eyes rolled to the back of his head.
"Hn. You were showing mercy on that too, Yusuke. His death would have been much
slower and bloodier if I would have killed him," Hiei commented.
Everyone was terrified, but Kaemon looked as if he was going to have a heart attack.
Keiko shielded Sanosuke's eyes from the sight. Sanosuke wiggled from her grip, and
clung to Yusuke's leg shaking. Yusuke kneeled down, looking like he was consoling
Sanosuke, but instead he whispered a warning.
"Get your family and friends, and get out of here. If you don't, you will die…
thanks for helping Sanosuke. Think of this as a gift."
For a moment their eyes met. To Keiko, Yusuke almost looked desperate to save her.
Any kindness in his eyes was replaced by a smirk as he stood up again. Yusuke picked
up Sanosuke, and walked back to his group. They talked quietly to each other, Yusuke

gave Sanosuke to Kurama, and walked away.
The crowd was astonished that only one man died after three demons came to their
village. Kaemon ordered each one to their own home, reassuring the others that since
Sanosuke was gone, the demons shouldn't be returning.
When the trio left, Keiko told Botan Yusuke's warning.
"We have to save the village. I don't know what those guys are going to do, but we
obviously need to leave," said Botan.
"Yes, we have to get my parents and Kuwabara, and warn everyone quickly," agreed
Keiko.
The pair stood up and spilt. Botan retrieved Kuwabara while Keiko persuaded her
parents to leave. They gathered their few belongings: a couple of clothes, a pair of
shoes, and some food. Botan grabbed her family's heirloom, an oar. When everyone had
gotten their necessities, Keiko snuck them out. A mile or so away from the village,
the group came to an opening and saw Hiei.
"Hey shrimp, we have a score to settle," said Kuwabara.
Hiei ignored him, looking at every other human before turning his attention to
Keiko.
"Is this who you chose?" he asked.
"No. Not everyone in the village was warned. Keiko just wanted to get her parents
out safely," told Kuwabara.
Hiei smirked and gave a signal.
"SPIRIT GUN!"
Yusuke was standing on a phoenix-like Pu. His spirit blast was like a comet hitting.
"No, I said everyone wasn't out yet!" screamed Kuwabara.
Yusuke jumped from Pu's back, and Pu transformed back into his smaller, cuter
version. Mr. Yukimura stared in shock. Their village was nothing more than ashes
now.
"Monster," he breathed out.
Yusuke landed right in front of Keiko. Mr. Yukimura pushed Keiko behind him. He was
visibly shaking, but he held his ground. Yusuke looked confused.
"What? What did I do wrong?"
"Yusuke," Keiko blurted out, "how could you? You killed all those innocent people."
"Yeah, but I saved you didn't I? You got everyone you wanted out, didn't you?" asked
Yusuke nonchalantly. "Anyway you can travel with us to the next village or build you
village from scratch."
"You mean the ashes of the dead villagers." Hiei corrected him.
Botan was fighting back tears. 'How could one guy have so much power?'
Yusuke looked over at her. "What are you crying about? You gave me the ok."
"We told that shrimp there were still people to save. He ignored us!" yelled
Kuwabara.
"If they really wanted to save all those people, they would have led everyone out at
the same time. Besides, what is the point of destroying the village if everyone was
going to live?" Hiei smirked at the thought.
Keiko pushed away from her father to hit Yusuke. Tears were flowing from her eyes.
"You killed them. You monster, I hate you!"
The hits didn't hurt Yusuke at all, but he hated the feeling of guilt that Keiko was
starting to give him. However, he couldn't do a thing about it. Sanosuke wobbled
over to him. Yusuke's face turned hard when he saw Sanosuke's condition. Sanosuke's
face was scratched and bloody with knots on his head. He was sniffling, but trying
his best to look strong.
"I'm the monster, huh? If I am, then what the hell are you then? You can take that
self-righteous attitude and shove it up your ass because you're just as much as a
hypocrite as all those other villagers."
Yusuke picked up Sanosuke, and turned to Kurama. "Heal him tonight, and tomorrow in
the morning, we'll leave. By the way, humans, if you decide to follow us, be ready
at dawn."
The group was silent. Keiko refused to look at Yusuke. Botan cleared her throat.
"We really have no choice but to go with them. I mean, we have no place else to go."
Keiko turned away from Botan. She knew they didn't have a choice, but she wanted to
pretend they did. She wanted to do anything to avoid spending more time with Yusuke.
It seemed though, the only way to rid herself of him was to let him escort her to
the next village. The thought left a bad taste in her mouth. Mr. Yukimura scowled
and sat on the ground.

"Well Keiko, are you going to stand there all night? You held how early we have to
get up tomorrow. The sooner we're up, the sooner we can get to the next village."
Keiko sighed, and tried to rest on a rock. It was jagged, and even after laying all
her clothes on it as a pillow, it still proved to be a poor sleeping arrangement.
Keiko looked at Sanosuke, who was cuddled up in Yusuke's robe, and being treated by
Kurama. She'd never seen him so peaceful. It was all too confusing. 'Why is all of
this happening? I don't understand,' wondered Keiko.
If she ever had a cordial conversation with any of the demons, she would definitely
demand some answers. Now, though, being bossy would only result in her death. 'All
my questions will have to wait until morning. Maybe then things will be more clear.'
Woot! After nearly a year, I'm back to this story! I'm sure no one really knows what
the heck is going on, but stay with me and it'll all be explained. Right now I'm
debating whether or not to include Yukina for poor Kuwabara. Should I? Anyway, I
just needed to get them out the village to really get the story going, so if you
thought it was boring, just hold tight. Tell me what you think so far. I'm already
typing the next chapter so it won't be long before chapter four is up.
