Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ The Tournament ❯ Returning Home ( Chapter 36 )

Returning Home

In her last breath Baku-Madoushi gazed upon Team Urameshi and said, "You have been my greatest opponents. Congratulations you have won the tournament."

The ice faded away and the air warmed. The other three women woke from their sleep and ran to their team. Only Shiori remained behind. Then she moved towards her son and gathered him in her arms. It was over. It was finally over.

Everyone was startled when they heard clapping behind them. Quickly they turned and were surprised to find Hiroshi standing there. Taking his time he moved towards them. When he at last reached Team Urameshi he bowed.

"Excellent job Team Urameshi. I would like to thank you for the great fights that you gave us to watch."

Kuwabara blinked, "Why aren't you dead?"

"Someone had to take care of this island if Baku-Madoushi was destroyed. So that thing you destroyed was nothing more than a body I created to look like me.

"Now since you have won this tournament you are granted one thing that you truly desire. Anything at all," Hiroshi explained.

Sasha stepped forward, "The four behind me meerly wish to have their loved ones returned to them."

Hiroshi nodded, "Very well and what would you like Sasha?"

"I want to be like Kurama. I want to have a human body that is the same age as him but I want to keep my powers."

"So be it. Once more I would like to say congratulations Team Urameshi. When you are ready to go there is a boat at the harbor that will take you back to Japan."

*******************

When Team Urameshi finished packing, they met with Koenma and Botan at the harbor. They were currently waiting for their last team member to arrive. All of them had yet to see what her new body would look like. Then they saw a beautiful human girl come towards them.

She had long, dark curls that framed her face. Her emerald eyes danced with joy as she did a twirl for them. The long white dress that she wore meerly added to her radiance. When she was done showing off, she ran to them.

"Sasha is that you?" Yusuke asked.

"Yes do you like it?"

Kurama came over and kissed her forehead, "I love it."

"As do I," Shiori commented, "I always knew that my son had good taste in women."

Everyone laughed as they took one last look at the island. One by one they boarded the ship until only Yusuke was left. Keiko turned back and joined him.

"What are you thinking about?" she asked.

"I'm just wondering if I'll ever get to see Kathjina and Tony again."

"Don't worry. Somehow I get the feeling that you'll see them again. In fact I know that you will."

Yusuke turned to her, "Yeah?"

"Yeah."

********************

-One Month Later-

Yusuke arrived at Genkai's home late. There was a meeting today but he had had detention just an hour ago. Sighing he finished his desent of the stairs and opened the door. There were the others staring at him. Even Koenma was there.

"Alright I know that I'm late but you could stop staring at me."

"I'm glad to see that you're here Yusuke because I wanted to let you know that Sasha has officially been added to your team," Koenma said, "But that is not why I called you all here. The reason is that I just recently received two demons who wish to work with me. They didn't say why but I have a feeling that it has got something to do with you Yusuke."

"Me?"

"Yeah you ya half-witted toad stool!" a voice cried.

Another voice laughed, "You see Yusuke life just seems to be so much more entertaining when we are working with you."

"Kathjina? Tony?"

"Well what do ya know? He ain't so dumb after all!"

Yusuke glanced at Koenma, "That's right Yusuke. They are on your Spirit Detective team."

Yusuke looked out the window. He smiled as he felt the breeze hit his skin. It felt good to just be alive.
