Hiei: NOOOOO! ANYTHING BUT THAT! ANYTHING BUT THAT!
Kurama: O_O'''''''' Ok...Anyway! Mitsukai doesn't own Yu Yu Hakusho. Let us no longer wait you. Here's the eight chapter!
Kurama watches Mitsukai beating up Hiei. How very embarassing for Hiei! ^_^

Chapter Seven
The Search for Another Apprentice
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
Gwen woke up the next morning feeling pretty damn energized. Her ears perked as she heard talk coming from somewhere downstairs, followed by a door closing. A knock on her door soon followed.
"Come in..." she said as she got out of bed. The door opened, and Gwen smiled. "Hiya Kurama."
"Hi, Gwen. Did you sleep well?" Kurama asked as she got up and made the bed.
"Yeah. Slept like a log." They sat on the bed, though it was less the two people sitting together than it was Kurama sitting and Gwen lying on her stomach.
"You got a case," Kurama mentioned vaguely.
"Figures. Just when I get back to life," Gwen sighed as she sat up, sliding off the bed and walking to the closet to find some clothes. Kurama pulled out a cassette tape (for a radio, not a TV) and put it in the expensive tape player beside her bed, the one her father had bought last night as celebration for her return to living world. He pushed play, and Gwen shooed him out of the room while she was getting dressed.
"Yo, Gwen. This is Koenma. I have another mission for you: tracking down the demon Rando. Genkai is searching for another apprentice in case you die again, in which case the other would take your place," the stereo spoke.
"Oh, thanks, Koenma," Gwen retorted.
"Ssssh! I can't hear it well if you keep talking," Kurama's voice echoed through the door. Apparently, he was pressing up against the door to hear the tape.
"Anyway, Yusuke will take part in this event, and try to get to be Genkai's new apprentice. If he doesn't make it, and Rando does, then you will have to complete his mission and take Rando down," Koenma spoke.
Gwen opened the door for Kurama to get in her room. She had her pink and white-blonde hair in a braid, and was wearing the exact replica of Genkai's uniform. She also put on sunglasses, just for fun.
"Ok. Off to go to work," Gwen said gloomily.
"Why? Hate it?" Kurama chuckled.
"Well, I never had a break, that's all."
She walked out of the house with Kurama.
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
"Bye, Kurama," Gwen waved as she walked up the steep stairs to Genkai's temple.
"Bye." And with that, he walked off.
Once she reached the top, she saw thousands of people, all of them wanting to be Genkai's apprentice. She even spotted Yusuke, arguing with an oafish looking kid his age. She snuck past all of them, into the temple, and saw Genkai.
"Hi, Master," Gwen said.
"Gwen, you slacker. I thought you were going to be here hours ago," Genkai scolded sternly.
"Uh...I slept in late...heh, heh, heh," Gwen covered nervously.
Gwen smirked. "You are like Menkae. Always thinking it wouldn't hurt to sleep a little longer. Well, come on. We have to see who will be your new training partner."
They walked off into the courtyard to greet the applicants.
"Now! All of you will have to take tests to be my new apprentice. First one...is casting lots," Genkai shouted.
Everyone anime fell except Genkai.
"Come on! Everyone take a envelope. If the paper inside it is red, please follow me. Those who lost, please get lost."
As each of the envelopes were opened, Gwen watched the array of reactions range from estatic to furious. She smirked as Yusuke and the 'Oaf' (sorry Kuwa fans...) both received a red piece of paper.
'Heh, little do they know they turned the paper red themselves, if they had enough reiki. It's a great trick,' thought Genkai.
~Very clever, Master,~ Gwen thought to Genkai. Genkai just smirked.
Then two huge men lumbered up to Genkai and Gwen, both looking absolutely furious.
"We want another test," one of them said.
"Yeah, we are the strongest of the Mountain Men. This casting lots was no test," complained the other.
"But how come your papers didn't turn red, then?" Genkai asked with a frown.
The two brutes were awfully mad by now and reared back as though to punch Genkai into a wall, but Genkai had other plans. Pushing her hand forward, she shouted fiercely as a wave of Reiki erupted from her palm and hurtled the men into a wall. Unlike everyone else, Gwen looked, on, unsurprised.
"Heh, I really must be getting old. A few years ago, I would've got them THROUGH the wall. My powers must be rusting," Genkai remarked. "On to the next test. Red papers, follow me."
Everyone entered the temple only to find a room filled with a lot of what looked like arcade games.
"Umm... Master... What do games have to do with your training?" a boy named Shorin asked.
"Well, nothing really. But these are no ordinary games. The punching bag," she began, pointing to each game as she spoke of it, "will measure your reiki. The karaoke will measure your adaptability and ability to improve. The Janken game (essentially rock-paper-scissors) will test your spirit awareness. You have to get good scores on two out of three games," Genkai explained.
Everyone started to play the games. Yusuke scored well on the punching bag game, while Kuwabara excelled at Janken. Anyway! Gwen walked toward the punching bag and put on a glove.
"Hey! Look! A girl is trying to punch the punching bag!" A person nearby howled. Some people looked his way, thereby looking at Gwen.
"Haha! A GIRL!? A girl can't beat the high score of 175. She probably can't beat 8!" another person shouted. Some men around him laughed with him. Gwen frowned. She knew she was the only girl here, and she hated cocky people.
She clenched a fist and punched the bag. The screen read 200. She smirked and walked away as every cocky man there gaped at her, wide-eyed and effectively silenced.
Yusuke and the 'Baka' saw the whole thing. Yusuke smirked and thought, 'So Gwen's that strong.'
Gwen stood next to Genkai and looked at everyone.
~Hmph. Showoff,~ Genkai thought.
Gwen grinned and thought, ~Well, it was just to put those bakas in their place.~
When everyone was done, the losers got lost, and the handful of winners, including Yusuke and the 'Baka', followed Genkai and Gwen outside to the Forbidden Forest.
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
Genkai, Gwen, and the winners of the first two tests stood before the Forbidden Forest.
Genkai spoke, "Now, this test will be for you to reach that tree in under one hour." Genkai pointed to a very big tree on the other side of the forest.
Everyone heard frightening noises echoing throughout the forest, and some backed away in fear.
"Heh, you all could back down if you all are losers," Genkai said.
Still, most of them stayed.
"Ready, Set, GO!"
Everyone ran in as fast as they could. Genkai ran the fastest, with Gwen close behind her. They made it in less than 10 minutes.
"Now let's see how they are," Genkai said as they looked in their forest. The 'Baka' was getting there pretty well, and Yusuke was just running in a straight line there. Others weren't doing as well as the 'Baka,' though.
30 minutes into the test, the 'Baka' was the winner.
"What? I'm the first one here?" the 'Baka' asked, his tone clearly surprised.
"Yes," Genkai said, also slightly surprised.
Gwen looked a little surprised herself. She was sitting on a tree branch and looked down at him. He even looked younger than her, but just a little. He was muscular, but she still thought he looked like an oaf.
20 more minutes passed, and six more people made it.
"Okay, time's up," Genkai said as she looked at her watch.
"But, wait! We still have one more coming!" Kuwabara shouted. (Oh, I'm using his name now ok.)
"No exceptions," Genkai snapped.
"...WAIT FOR ME!..." Yusuke yelled as he ran up to them. Gwen jumped down and mentally sighed in relief. She wanted him to complete his own missions, and didn't enjoy picking up his slack. Yusuke stood still and breathed heavily. "You know, suddenly I'm reminded of a fortune cookie I had once that said the straight path wasn't always the best."
Genkai looked shocked. "But - wait, boy, surely you didn't go straight through the forest - you would have run across a lethal man bat."
"Oh, you mean Baldok? Yeah, he was hanging around with me for a while. He was fast, but not nearly as fast as Hiei."
"Urameshi! You went over the time limit!" Kuwabara shouted.
"Uh, what?!" Yusuke looked at Kuwabara, then Genkai.
Genkai smiled and said, "Yes, but I believe in this case, I'll make an exception."
Gwen smiled and almost laughed when Kuwabara and Yusuke hugged estatically. They suddenly realized this, and backed away, purposely averting their gazes and snapping insults at each other.
Genkai led everyone to a temple-like building. "This will be your last test: a tournament between the eight of you. We will draw lots to see who fights who. We will have a tournament where anything goes. Whoever wins will be my apprentice."
She opened the door, and it was completely dark. Gwen walked in, and the only light was a torch. Soon enough, everyone was matched out. The first two were an assasin and a ninja.
"So I could kill him?" the assasin asked.
"I said anything goes," Genkai said lazily.
"Hmph. Good. So I won't have to hold back."
The two went in and after a while of fighting, the ninja won by using a Spirit attack using his whole palm.
"So he has a Spirit Gun also?" Yusuke asked himself.
"Not quite," Botan's voice could be heard to only Yusuke and Gwen. Yusuke went outside and Kuwabara followed behind him. After a minute, Genkai went out there to get them back inside. They all went inside and Botan joined them in her human form.
"Hello, Gwen," Botan said happily.
"Hiya Botan," Gwen replied, smiling.
Then the next fight was another anonymous guy and Shorin. Shorin won. (NO DUH!) Kuwabara and another guy were next, and Kuwabara won, using a clever little move involving a broken piece of his reiki-focusing wooden sword and his newly discovered Rei Ken. Yusuke and a martial artist were up, and Yusuke barely won by using his Spirit Gun.
"The winner, the dimwit," Genkai said. "Now we will have a change of scenery." She opened the door, and everyone but Gwen and Genkai sheilded their eyes from the sudden brightness. (remember Gwen has sunglasses on!) They walked up to an area where it looked like a battlefield. "This was a battlefield where many people were killed. You could tell by the amount of reiki in this area, it was a powerful fight."
"AAAAHHHH! I see them!" Kuwabara shouted in horror. "They're freaky!" (I see dead people! *laughs insanely*)
"Yes. The old woman is right. I can feel their reiki absorb into me," the ninja said, looking at his hand as the aura surrounded him.
"How about you?" Botan asked Yusuke.
He tried powering up. "...Nope. I'm still all dried out."
Genkai announced that the next fight would be Yusuke and the ninja.
"Woah, old hag! I just finshed a fight. Let someone else go," Yusuke shouted.
"You should blame the person who cast your lot, and that would be you."
Yusuke grew mad at the unfairness as Gwen watched the fight. Yusuke won by sheer luck. In a last-ditch effort to throw off the ninja's reiki-tracking Shuriken Throwing knives, he charged the ninja and accidentally fell into a swamp and the stars, losing their target, hit their caster instead. Now Gwen couldn't help but laugh.
Then Kuwabara had to fight against Shorin, who Botan and Yusuke figured out was Rando. Sad to say, Kuwabara lost and was severely injured. Botan sat by his side and Gwen used a little of her new healing powers she possessed that Genkai had taught her before she died.
Yusuke fought Shorin and won, but Rando was not out of the count. They had fought and fought, until a stupid fluke occurred, and Yusuke won by having swamp algae in his ear, unable to hear Rando's chant to reduce Yusuke's size as he had done to Kuwabara. Rando fell victim to his own spell and was knocked out by Yusuke and the "force of gravity". Botan took Rando and Yusuke turned to Genkai.
"So I could go to Tokyo Dome?" he asked.
Botan and Gwen looked at him blankly.
"How could you remember?" Botan asked. Gwen figured she had to bribe Yusuke in doing this.
"Well, duh! That was why I came here!"
"Sorry Yusuke, but you have to train with me for the next six months," Genkai said.
"What!? I'm not training!"
"Dimwit, the entire purpose of this tournament was to choose my successor. So you have to train since you won. You have to get someone to take your place for the Tokyo Dome."
Yusuke fell over anime-style and Gwen volunteered to go in his place. Genkai agreed and told Yusuke that Gwen is also an apprentice of hers, and they will be training together sometimes.
"Oh, Yusuke," was the only reply from Botan as Gwen and she laughed.
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
Mitsukai frowns and sighs as she watches Kurama and Hiei have ice packs on their heads, eating sweet snow.
Mitsukai: *looking at the readers* What? I can't help it. I had to give Hiei some sweet snow. He is just too damn cute. And so are you, Kurama! *hugs Kurama*
Mitsukai then sits between the two and eats some sweet snow.
Mitsukai: *talking while eating* Well, I'll update pretty soon. I'm writing this at around 11 at night. Look what I'm doing for you Reviewers and readers! Please Review! *waves and then hits Hiei and Kurama with a pillow* PILLOW FIGHT!
Hiei: *to Lia* How can you be so harsh! I can't live like this! *pointing to the still locked fridge*
Kurama: *holding an ice pack to his head* Owww...
