WARNING!!!! This chapter gives a summary of the injuries that Okubo, Sawa & Kiri suffered. It may unsettle the weak stomachs. However, if you have a weak stomach this fic is not for you, for future chapters will be far worse! There WILL be blood & gore in the future. You have been warned.
Just in case I forgot in earlier chapters= Disclaimer= I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho…If I did, Kuwabara would get treated far better and more jokes made at Yusuke’s expense! ;) ~Files~ ***Scene or time change***
Edited = I altered a few words here and there but read this anyway because I added an entire scene with Yukina before they get to the hideout.
It seemed as if nothing else was breathing at the moment. The only thing at seemed to matter was within that manilla folder in Kurama's hands. It held the secret. The truth of what happened the day that Okubo, Kirishima and Sawamura were murdered. To Yusuke , they were street pals, though not really friends, they were civil to each other. Yusuke admired the solidarity the trio shared with Kuwabara. Although he never really interacted with them as Yusuke had, Kurama understood that they were close friends to Kuwabara. As for Hiei, they were merely part of a puzzle of what events could affect Kuwabara as these recent ones have. He prefers to be able to predict the actions of his allies. That is one trait of Kuwabara that Hiei hates the most. Unpredictability, it sums the human quite well and Hiei hates it.
Both Yusuke and Hiei gave their full attention to Kurama as he opened the files and began to read. ~On the evening of May 22, a combined force of two street gangs, the Aka Doragon and the Supaida no Yoru, ambushed a third gang, the Menboku Yaiba. Ten out of twenty-seven of the Menboku Yaiba that were present were captured by the greater force, whose numbers reached eighty-two. So far, only three of the captives have been killed: Anda Okubo, Komada Sawamura and Myamoto Kirishima.
~It should be noted that the three killed were senior members of their gang and close friends with Kuwabara Kazuma. A possible reason they were singled out while the other seven still live is their connection to Kuwabara. This is most likely a planned attack, not just on the Menboku Yaiba, but also aimed to hurt their leader, Kuwabara. ~[It should be noted that Kuwabara is a partner to the current Reikai Tantei, Urameshi Yusuke and is fostered by Prince Koenma.]
~The ten captives were taken to an abandoned warehouse; where Anda, Komada and Myamoto were interrogated and tortured to death. The following is a summary of the injuries inflicted upon them before their deaths.
~Anda Okubo: right arm broken in four places, left upper arm broken twice, knees shattered, left hand cut off, spine broken, jaw cracked.
~Komada Sawamura: both forearms shattered, left lower leg broken, right upper leg broken in four places, five ribs broken, stabbed eleven times; three of which punctured the right lung, left lung was hit twice, and two stabs hit the heart.
~Myamoto Kirishima: Both arms and legs shattered, hands and feet crushed, every rib was crushed or broken, solar plexus broken, collar bones shattered, hip bone broken. Myamoto was the most brutal beating, Tachikawa Akira, leader of Aka Doragon, personally beat Myamoto to a pulp using a baseball bat.
~Samejima Minoru used a sword to behead all three. There were some odd energies coming from the sword. These energies were too faint and happened too quickly to identify as reiki or youki. It is known that Samejima and Tachikawa have been reading about the supernatural, especially on curses, in an attempt to counter their common adversary Kuwabara. It is common knowledge on the streets that Kuwabara has some psychic powers, although no ningen has ever seen his full strength much less his true potential. It is believed that Samejima and Tachikawa may have attempted some curse or power through the sword. This is under investigation. However, the sword has seemed to disappeared.
~After the three had died, their headless bodies were taken and dumped onto the grounds of one the main hangouts for the Menboku Yaiba, a karaoke bar. When the police discovered the bodies, the heads were nowhere to be found.~ As Kurama closed the file, Yusuke looked sick, his fist shaking with rage. “Those sons of…. I knew those three from school. They didn’t deserve to die like that! They were completely loyal to Kuwabara and he to them. Did I ever tell you guys about the promise that Kuwabara made so that Okubo could keep his job?”
“Was that the time that the teacher threatened to end Okubo’s permission to work if Kuwabara got into any fights for a week?” At seeing Yusuke’s head nod, Kurama looked off to look at Kuwabara--who was no longer there. “What? Where did he go?”
Hiei and Yusuke looked up to see that there were a dozen or so trees fallen but no Kuwabara in sight. “Damn, we were so engrossed in hearing Kurama read the file we didn’t notice when the big lug stopped his screaming!” Yusuke ran off to the temple, Hiei and Kurama following close behind. As they reached the main building they saw that Genkai was waiting for them.
“Well, it took you morons long enough. Kuwabara just left to go check on the rest of his gang. The girls are going with him.” Genkai stood there, impassive as Yusuke asked 'what girls'. “Yukina, Keiko and Shizuru of course! Do you know of any other girls that would hang out with an old hag like me, you dimwit?”
Hiei beat the others to asking the obvious. “Why did Yukina go? And how did they know about the situation?”
“Well if you use that lump of mass that’s located two feet above your ass, you would realize that Yukina wanted to go so she could help the injured.” Genkai ignored the glare that was sent her way as she turned to face the others. “Keiko and Shizuru were here to find Kuwabara. It seems that the rival gangs have some lookouts for him. They wanted to be the first to tell Kuwabara about his friends’ deaths, a sick way to get under his skin. Shizuru ran into a few in town, that’s how she knew and Keiko was with her. Now hurry up and you can catch up with them.”
"I appreciate your help Yukina. I'm sorry that your visit with Genkai was cut short with ... this ..." Kuwabara choked one the words unable to say it.
"You've helped me so much before, Kazuma-san, rescuing from that horrible man, Tarukane's imprisonment want to help you as well." Yukina blushed as she remembered the panic she felt when she first heard his roar of rage and loss. She was not frightened for her own safety but was only concerned for her friend. 'Friend? Is that what Kazuma is, just a friend?' She mused to herself as she looked at Keiko and Shizuru. 'They are my friends as well but it feels different with Kazuma-san. Shizuru and Keiko feel like my friends back in the Koorime village, only they are human. Does it feel odd because this friendship is with a male?' She pondered on the Koorime's culture. A culture of self-reproducing females that had no position for males. A race that had no males. 'No, that can't be it. Kurama and Yusuke are friends as well but my friendship with them isn't the same as it is with Kazuma-san. I worry about them of course but not like I've done over him. Back at the Dark Tournament, when that horrible Aniki Toguro shot all ten fingers straight through Kazuma, I thought my heart stopped. I dared not to breathe until I saw that he was still moving. Then Ototo Toguro stabbed his hand into Kazuma's chest. Kurama, Koenma, even Hiei ran to his still side, and Shizuru screamed for her brother. When I thought that Kazuma was murdered, I cried entire pouch worth of tear gems. I care more for for him than others, besides my so-called lost brother. I went to that tournament to find my brother but I returned to Ningenkai for the friends I made. I couldn't stop thinking about him. I came back to get to know Kazuma better.' Yukina walked beside the subject of her contemplation, not realizing that she stopped adding the honorific 'san' to his name in her thoughts.
**** One hour later, in town****
Everyone followed Kuwabara down to an old building. It seemed that it was well kept but empty from the side they approached. However, as soon as they turned around the corner, they could see the damage. From the broken windows to the debris strewn on the ground to the doors that were torn off the hinges, it was obvious that it was a site of an intense fight. The inside of the building only enforced that view.
The sound of glass crunching under their shoes followed them as they entered the lobby of the four-story building. The walls of the main floor were decorated with gashes made from swords and indentations from baseball bats. Hiei noticed that on the east wall some throwing knives still hung on the wall, several embedded to the hilt.
Without looking to see if they were still following, Kuwabara began to ascend the stairs to the second story. As they went down a hallway, Hiei noticed the scent of blood was getting stronger. “You smell that, fox?” He asked, looking sideways at his partner. Although he seemed as calm as always, Hiei was perturbed by the new events. ‘How odd that this place reminds me of home, of the Makai.’
Looking around with a calculating glance, Kurama spared a moment to address his fellow youkai. “Yes, I noticed the scents as we entered the building. There is no mistaking that this is a site of a fierce battle. The last time I encountered a stench as strong as this was back in Makai after a battle.” Pausing, he took note of a chair whose white seat had been stained with blood. “So far, Kuwabara knows only about three who has died. It is possible that more of his men may have died or may yet die due to injuries.”
“That is why Yukina demanded to come with Kuwabara. She wishes to heal those most likely to die if not seen to.” Hiei noted, as he looked at Yusuke in hidden amusement. Although Hiei found it disturbing that a ningen force could bring so must bloodshed that it reminded him of a mission back in Makai, the sight of Yusuke sticking his nose in the air and sniffing was a humorous sight.
Taking in a few deep breaths, Yusuke began to notice an odd smell that began to get stronger. “What is that? I mean, what’s that smell?” He blanched at Hiei’s curt answer that is was blood.
Once Kuwabara opened a door down the long hallway, the eerie silence was broken. As they entered the last and biggest room, they could see it was filled with the wounded gang members. A scream pierced the air, rising above the whispering and moaning, some cussing was heard, but the most prevalent sound was the cries. Yukina pushed Yusuke out of her way so she could run to the girl who was screaming.
A young man next to her looked up at Yukina and saw who was behind her. “Kuwabara-san! Those bastards used some sort of poison! My sister was only scratched but it’s causing her to be in agony!”
Placing a calming hand on his shoulder, Kuwabara pulled the brother back so Yukina could reach the sister. “Take it easy, Taki, Yukina here is a healer. She will take care of Aki, just you wait and see.”
