Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Shura's Quest ❯ Scene 48 ( Chapter 48 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

This scene is a compilation of the last one and this one. In my handwritten version, this was a very long scene. Both contain a lot of "baggage" that this ragtag group has to get in order before they can go on.

Scene 48 ------------------------------------------- A Few Minutes Later

* When Yusuke finally stands quiet once more Kurama and Kuwabara go over closer.


Kurama- Tell us.

Kuwabara- Yeah. What has he done to the Toddler?


* Yusuke slams his fists together, but keeps his composure that he's fought hard to regain.


Yusuke- He.. tortured him.. in their arena..


* Yusuke closes his eyes.


Yusuke- and.. blinded.. him!


* yusuke wails angrily and shoots another blast that destroys a tree. Kurama flinches, but he also hears the two kits yelp and begin to whimper in the shelter. Kuwabara landed a few feet back on his rear. Kurama touches Yusuke's arm.


Kurama- I know this is terrible news.. But you're scaring the kits.. And please do not destroy anymore plants.


* Yusuke looks to watch Lazurama crawl into the lean-to. He then takes a deep breath and lowers his hand to relax his energy.


Yusuke- Sorry.. Kurama, they'll need to stay here or be hid somewhere.. It's not going to be pretty once I get my hands on that..

Kurama- I get the message, Yusuke.


* The kitsune turns toward his friends again.


Kurama- Suzuka, Shishi.

Yusuke- When they're hid, you guys need to go meet that Agalia guy..


* Suzuka, Shishi, Clint, and Hiei come over. The koorime glances down at Kuwabara who is still staring at yusuke's swath of destruction.


Hiei- Get up, you idiot.


* Hiei then looks up at Yusuke as the redhead scrambles to his feet.


Hiei- What are you going to do?

Yusuke- I'm going to Gandera. What else?

Hiei- Hn. I'm going with you.

Kuwabara- I know you're upset, Urameshi..

Yusuke- Upset?!


* Kuwabara steps back when Yusuke begins to transform into his demon form.


Yusuke- You really think so?

Kuwabara- But we have to stay together!

Kurama- Kuwa is correct, Yusuke.. We must stay united now.


* Kurama looks at Suzuka and Shishi.


Kurama- But I will need you two to stay here and help Lazurama guard the kits.


* Hearing Kurama, Lazurama comes out of the shelter and glares toward them.


Lazurama- I'm not staying behind!


* Kurama turns to look at his brother a little surprised.


Lazurama- Don't make me disobey you, Kurama.

Kurama- Will you trust your kits to these two then?


* Lazurama glances toward Suzuka and Shishi then nods firmly.


Lazurama- If they're friends of yours I know they can be trusted.


* Kurama sighs, but knows better than to argue with a determined Kitsune.


Kurama- Put them in hibernation, then, so they'll be easier to keep track of.


* The younger brother nods. Suzuka and Shishi follow him back to the shelter.


Yusuke- We have to get Koenma away from that freak.

Clint- Father told us that meeting Agaliarept first was very important, YuYu.

Yusuke- We can't waste anymore time..

Hiei- He's not going to kill Koenma, Yusuke.


* Yusuke looks down at Hiei.


Hiei- He's using the godling to lure you to him.. I felt his intentions are much more sinister than just your death..


* Hiei moves his left hand to touch his warded right arm.


Hiei- I read some of his thoughts while he took some of my blood.

Kurama- He took the blood out of your right arm?

Hiei- Hn.. In his twisted mind he thought that would give him some of the blood of my black dragon.


* Hiei looks back up at Yusuke.


Hiei- He wants some of your blood, as well.


* Lazurama returns.


Lazurama- When I first went to Gandera he had blood taken from me, too.


* Yusuke growls again.


Yusuke- What the h--- is that little punk b------ up to?!

Hiei- Banashima wants me to go see this Agaliarept, also.

Kurama- Then it may well be worth our time.


* Yusuke moves away from the group and looks one way, then the other.


Yusuke- Great! Gandera is that way.. And the Forbidden Forest is that way.. And we're too small of a group to be split up..


* Yusuke looks toward the guarded shelter then brings his hands up to grasp the sides of his head as he shakes it.


Yusuke- We'll need everyone we can get.. But we can't leave those kits unguarded.. D--- it, I just remembered why I hate this position!!


* Calmly, Hiei goes over and stands facing the Mazoku unafraid.


Hiei- Lord Urameshi, gather yourself.

Kuwabara- Yeah, you're scarin' us, man!


* The group all glance at the human as Lazurama comes back over.


Kuwabara- Well, isn't he?


* The demons all shake their heads.


Lazurama- I have the kits in hibernation.. Kurama and I can put some guard plants around them.

Kurama- Yes, we can do that.. They won't wake up until one of us wakes them.


* Yusuke watches the two kitsunes go back toward the shelter.


Jin- We still shouldna be a-breakin' up our group, though, Yusuke..

Clint- I say we go there first like we planned.

Yusuke- All of you shut the h--- up!! I need to think, d--- it!


* Shishi and Suzuka come back over to the others as Yusuke moves away grumbling.


Shishi- Change in plans?

Suzuka- Yeah, what's going on?

Touya- Nothing if we can't work together on something so simple as a d--- direction to go in.


* Hiei looks up at Touya.


Hiei- I think our problem is that we have all forgotten who we are!


* Yusuke stops and turns to look back at Hiei. Lazurama and Kurama pause their planting to look toward him. Hiei looks away a moment, then crosses his arms.


Hiei- Since King Enki is dead that reverts Demon World back to the way it was before Urameshi's Tournament.


* Hiei glances around to make sure he has all of their attentions, then continues.


Hiei- Mukuro is also dead.. regretably.. But I was still her Second-In-Command.. as well as her heir when she was killed.. So that now makes me the Lord of one-third of Demon World.


* Hiei pauses to wait for any objections, but he gets none so he looks toward Yusuke.


Hiei- We know that King Raizen is dead..

Yusuke- Regretably.

Hiei- (Nods) Hn.. You accepted his position properly, if I remember correctly.

Yusuke- Hn.


* Kurama and Lazurama come back over.


Kurama- So that just leaves one third to be argued over.


* Hiei looks up at Kurama.


Kurama- Between Shura and myself.. since Lord Yomi is dead, as well.

Hiei- Shura doesn't just want one third.. The selfish brat wants it all.. This was his plan in making me hate you.. He released me knowing that parasite would cause me to fight you..

Kurama- Since we're both pretty equal in status he figured we would kill each other.

Hiei- Hn. Now, you're actually the only one that has the right to challenge him for his position, Kurama.

Kurama- I have no desire for Lordship, Hiei.. I only came here to rescue you.

Hiei- You accepted Yomi's offer to be his Second.. To my knowledge that position has never been rescended.


* Now Kurama sighs and crosses his own arms.


Kurama- No, it hasn't been.. Nor did I ever resign it.


* Kuwabara looks toward Yusuke and sees the Toushin's approval of the way Hiei has taken over.


Hiei- Then, as you said, that only leaves your third of this world to be secured.. I doubt you would have any trouble taking the little monster out.

Lazurama- If it were one-on-one I have no doubts in my brother's abilities, either.


* Kurama glances at Lazurama.


Lazurama- But as long as that Mage is by Shura's side..


* Now Yusuke comes back over.


Yusuke- We'll have someone that can deal with Kandero, Hiei.. Your Father told us that he can handle him.


* Hiei nods.


Clint- We still have to go see Agaliarept first.


* Everyone looks toward Clint.


Clint- My Father thought it was important enough to tell us to go there with his last words.. It must be very important.


* Yusuke watches Hiei lift a hand to rub his chin.


Hiei- Perhaps your Father and mine know something about this.. Agaliarept.. that we don't.

Kuwabara- Then let's go there. Maybe this guy has some kind of special power or weapon to give us.. You know your track record with people in caves, Yusuke.


* Yusuke tilts his head toward Kuwabara.


Yusuke- Yeah. Two near-deaths and one full death.. Thanks for reminding me, Big Guy.


* Kurama looks toward Shishi and Suzuka.


Kurama- I trust your judgment on things like this.. Do either of you get any vibes about this demon?


* Everyone watches the two demons look at each other. They obviously communicate telepathically to compare notes. After a couple moments they both nod and look back up at Kurama.


Shishi- We both agree with the Cat and the goofy human.


* Kuwabara glances toward Clint then suddenly realizes that he is the only human there.


Kuwabara- Hey! I.. Was I just insulted again?!


* Hiei rolls his eyes.


Hiei- They agreed with you, Fool.

Kuwabara- Well, I get all.. tingly when I hear that name.

Hiei- Agaliarept?


* The human closes his eyes, shivers some, and nods.


Kuwabara- We have to go see him.


* Hiei shrugs.


Hiei- That settles it then.. You guys are going to the Forbidden Forest.


* Hiei starts off in the opposite direction.


Yusuke- Where are you..?

Hiei- I'm going to Gandera.


* The koorime pauses and turns back.


Hiei- The rest of you go and see what Agaliarept has to say, then meet me outside of Gandera.

Lazurama- You're going there alone?

Hiei- I'm going to see what I can learn with my jagan.. Trust me, I will not be caught again.

Kurama- Hiei,..

Yusuke- Be careful, three-eyes.


* Hiei nods once.


Hiei- Hn.. Same to all of you.


* The others look at Yusuke when Hiei blurs away.


Yusuke- What? He may be small, but he's powerful.

Clint- Shura did catch him before.

Yusuke- He won't catch Hiei offguard like that again.. If we're going to this cave we best get going.

Kurama- I agree.


* Yusuke turns and uses the whistle to call Puu. He smirks when Clint and the Kitsunes complain as they clasp their ears. Kuwabara just looks thoughtfully in the direction Hiei disappeared in.
