Chapter 22: The Second Round Begins!!

(*Kuwabara’s Dream*)


Everything is dark. Two voices could be heard through the darkness.

“Master! Master Mitamura!” shouts one voice.

“Please don’t die …”

Soon a spot light shines on a man lying on a cot on the floor. He is surrounded by people of many ages.

“It isn’t a choice I can make. My health is failing and that is that. But I’ e no regrets…you wonderful children are here to ease my presence.” The man says.

Two people with in the group of boy students whispered amongst themselves.

“Surgery could save him, but we don’t’ have the money…” says one.

“We owe him so much… he took us in, raised us, taught us discipline’s of body and soul….there must be something we can do!” say the other.

The man heard this and turns towards the two.

“Such heartfelt regard…but I am not important. You are all ready.”

“No!!” shouts a young boy on the other side of the man.

“You need to get better! You must get better, whatever it takes…!”

The scene changes to Ichigaki speaking.

“My name is Ichigaki. I will cure your master….at no cost.”

He is now surrounded by the man’s students.

“There is just one condition.”

“What’s that?” asks one of the men in the group.

“Who cares?! We’ll do anything!” says another.

The three boys from earlier are seen.

“Hmmm…would you three be willing…to take part in a little experiment of mine? It’s nothing complicated, I assure you. Gyuk gyuk….” Laughs Ichigaki.

(*Dream Ends*)

Kuwabara opened his eyes and tried to sit up, but found you on his chest. He chuckled, which caused you to stir and cuddle closer to your pillow, wrapping you arms around Kuwabara’s waist. Kuwabara smiled down at you and put his arm on your back, rubbing it.

A cough came from across the room. Kuwabara looked over to see a snickering and fully dressed Yusuke sitting on his own bed.

“What’re you smiling about?” Kuwabara says, glaring at Yusuke.

“You and (YAFN)-chan.” grins Yusuke.

Kuwabara slowly sits up, which causes you to bring your legs up and now you are in his lap snuggling into him like a sleeping kitten.

If you were to wake up at this very moment, you would have seen a beat red Kuwabara and a hysterical Yusuke.

“Shut up!!” shouts Kuwabara.

“Quite Kuwabara! Geeze you’re gonna wake up (YAFN)-chan!” Yusuke shouts in a whisper.

“Not gonna happen. She’s a deep sleeper. Sleeps like the dead.” He says.

Yusuke raises an eyebrow.

“Damn Kuwabara, did ya sleep with her every night?!” snickers Yusuke.

“She came in my bed!” he shouts back, his hand still on your back now petting you like a kitten. He did miss Eikichi.

Yusuke laughed and got up, stretching.

“So ya sleep alright?” Kuwabara asks.

“Not as good as you.” Snickers Yusuke.

Kuwabara growled and took his pillow, throwing it at Yusuke’s face, hitting him straight on.

“Hey!” Yusuke shouts, picking up the pillow that had hit him in the face and throws it back, however his aim being as bad as it is sometimes misses and hits you in the face.

((A/N: It is true! They make fun of how bad Yusuke’s aim is….they actually make fun of Yusuke more then they do of Kuwabara, and Yusuke is the main character ^_^; go figure, right?))

Yusuke jumped.

“Crap.”

All you did was wiggling your nose and with your right hand scratch your nose before snuggling closer to Kuwabara.

Yusuke anime falls while Kuwabara just sweat drops.

“You weren’t kidding about the dead part.”

“Yeah tell me about it…man…I had a weird dream last night…” Kuwabara says.

“About you and (YAFN)-chan?” grins a hopeful Yusuke. ((A/N: If Yusuke REALLY wants to help you get hooked up with Kuwabara, he should really change his way of going about it, shouldn’t he? ^_^;))

“Shut it Urameshi! I’m bein serious!”

“Ok ok! Geeze. So what was it?”

“Wait, first, do ya wanna drink or sumthing?” Kuwabara asks.

He gently reaches over his bed and pulls out a sports drink for him self.

“Sure.”

Kuwabara then tosses one over to Yusuke who caught it and opened it. Kuwabara took one out for him and closed his back and put it back, pushing it under his bed. He then opens it and starts to drink, before he told Yusuke about his dream.

((A/N: Yeah right, like I’d make you all read the dream sequence again hahaha, I’m evil but not THAT evil ^_^))

“…and that was it.” finishes Kuwabara.

You were still asleep in Kuwabara’s lap, while Kuwabara petted you on your back.

“Ichigaki, huh? Name sounds familiar.” says Yusuke.

“So Kurama and Hiei haven’t come back?” Kuwabara asks, before taking a sip from his sports drink.

“Nope.” Answers Yusuke.

“Hmph! Thought Hell would reopen as an ice rink before those two ran away.” Grumbles Kuwabara, a little aggravated.

Yusuke finishes off his drink and puts it on the table that separated his and Kuwabara’s bed, with a clenk.

“Don’t sweat it. They’ll show up.” Yusuke stands up and stretches.

“All set?”

“Hey. What about (YAFN)-chan?” Kuwabara asks.

He didn’t want to wake you up. Besides that, he knew it would take them forever to try and wake you up.

“Let her sleep. She needs it. Besides, we’re alternating her with our other fifth fighter, so we’ll have enough people for this round.” Yusuke says.
“She’s gonna be pissed….” Kuwabara says, but gently picks you up out of his lap and gently places you back on his bed.

He then finds Kouga on the ground, having fallen sometime during the night while sleeping with Kuwabara. Kuwabara picks him up and hands Kouga to you. You instinctively snuggle into the stuff animal, not knowing it wasn’t Kuwabara.

Kuwabara chuckles and smiles down at you as you slept.

Kuwabara then puts his pants on and changes his shirt, grabbing his jacket as he and Yusuke head towards the door.

“All set? Let’s go!” Yusuke says, as the masked fighter enters.

They all leave the room, leaving you still asleep in the room.

As the three were walking to the match, they run into the ‘humanized’ Koenma.

“Hello?” Yusuke says, looking at the teenage boy who is standing in front of them, blocking their way.

“Nice work in the first round, guys.” Koenma says.

“That voice….and that stupid pacifier. You’re not…” Yusuke says.

“I AM human world version.” Answers Koenma.

“Gawd! You are Koenma! You…uh….humanize pretty good, but can’t you ditch that thing? The readers are freaking.” Yusuke says.

“Too bad for them.” Says Koenma

((A/N: HAHAHAHAHA! I had to leave that in!! That was in the manga, and I just couldn’t resist keeping it in! ^_^.))


“I’m attending this even strictly as a spectator but I thought you should know about that egg I gave you a while back.” Koenma continues.

“Huh? Egg….?” Says a confused Yusuke.

“Yes the egg, the BEAST egg…the one that was supposed to hatch when you came back to life!!!”

“Ah!”

“Don’t ‘Ah!’ me!! Sheesh…out of sight, out of mind. Quick review--- I had you come back to life sooner than planned because your body and soul had to be in tune. As a consequence, the egg returned to the spirit world un-hatched. But it’s growing, sustaining itself by drawing on your soul energy. Hatching is now imminent. Just a matter of days once it emerges, the hatchling…may be of use to you!”

“Great! So the wait was worth it!” says Yusuke.

“The wait…yeah, right.” Glares Koenma.

“So, how’re your lessons with Master Genkai going? Getting good training in the meditative arts?” Koenma asks, now walking with the group towards their match.

“Naw, still working on the basics of reiki. I’ve progressed to making explosive bursts of aura and concentrating them on a target.” Yusuke says.

(&% Progressed….to the most basic of basics. I guess Yusuke only really responds to combat experience….so this highly biased tournament maybe just what the doctor ordered. %&) Thinks Koenma.

“Awright! Let’s win this thing so I can see that egg hatch!!” grins Yusuke.

(*%Bet he’s forgotten he can’t use his spirit gun. %*) thinks Kuwabara, looking at Yusuke.


Meanwhile….

You are still asleep in the room, cuddling with Kouga, thinking it’s Kuwabara.

At the stadium, the crowd is in an up roar.

“Hey! What’s goin’ on?!”

“Those teams ain’t complete!”

Kuwabara looks at the team across from where he is.
“Those guys…they’re right outta my dream!” Kuwabara says.

“It’s time both teams step forward!” Koto announces.

Yusuke and Ichigaki both walk in to the arena.

“Gyuk gyuk….both teams short, eh? Bound to happen, as the battles whittle us down. This is a sort of preview. Will you accept your three against my three?” asks Ichigaki.

“Don’t see why not…What about you? You sittin’ it out?” Yusuke asks.

“Gyuk gyuk…” laughs Ichigaki.

“I’m just the team advisor and alternate. My dear boys here will do the fighting. Most demons think humans are poor fighters, but I’m one demon who knows different. Fact is you humans are very talented. Properly trained and conditioned, you become excellent killing machines. I have a dream --- to create the ultimate biological weapons! Perfect slaughter machines to do my bidding, without fear or question! These three are my proto type. Took pulling a few strings to produce them but it’s been worth it. This should be a fine battle.” Ichigaki says.

“You done.” Asks Yusuke; complete disgust in his face as well as in his eyes.

“Just about. I’m also very interested in you two and that girl who isn’t here. Care to make a little wager? If my boys win, I get your corpses and have that girl. New brains, simple resuscitation….you’ll be good as new.”

“Fine and if we win…I kill you.” Says Yusuke.

“Gyuk gyuk! You’re on!” says Ichigaki, who turns and walks away.

(*$This falls in line with my simulations, except that girl isn’t here. This makes their chances without her, Kurama, and Hiei just 1 in 1000 $*) thinks Ichigaki.

“Let’s make it more interesting. We propose…a battle royale.” Says the masked fighter.

This stops Ichigaki in his tracks. He turns, calculating in his head.

(*$ Chance of victory: 99.95 %$*) he thinks.

“Gyuk gyuk! We accept!” he says.

(*$Why not?! They’ve dug their own graves!! Individually my boys are formidable!! Working as a team, they’re 1,020 times more powerful! Team Urameshi is doomed! $*) Thinks Ichigaki.

Kuwabara narrows his eyes.

(&%The shrimp boat has the right idea. We can cover for each other, especially Urameshi and maybe grab a come back victory. Good thing (YAFN)-chan’s asleep back in the room where it’s safe. I don’t have to worry about her gettin’ hurt. %&) thinks Kuwabara.

“Reality’s shaping up….like my dream. Very weird.” Kuwabara says, turning back to the situation that was at hand.

“I’ve seen those three before.” Says the masked fighter.

Yusuke and Kuwabara look at their fifth, or considered sixth member of the team.

“They’re students of a well known martial artist. Great men, loyal and respectful toward their teacher, unwavering in their training. This is a very sad state of affairs.” the masked fighter says.

“That jibes with my dream!! That toad’s brain-washed ‘em!! They’re bein’ made t’ fight against their will!” says Kuwabara.

“Begin!” Koto says, starting the match.

All three fighters lunge at Yusuke and Kuwabara.

“Hound Claw!” one shouts, raising his hand up like a bear ready to kill.

“Jump back!” shouts the masked fighter.

Both boys glance back before taking their team mate’s advice, jumping away from the attack.

A crater is made where they had been standing only minutes before. While the two were still in the air, the one with braided long black hair throws an invisible weapon, knocking both Yusuke and Kuwabara backwards. Kuwabara wasn’t able to right himself up in time and lands on his head, while Yusuke was lucky, using his right hand and his foot to slow himself down.

“Didya see what hit us?! I didn’t see nothin’!!” shouts Kuwabara.

“Some invisible force, like that first guy’s attack! I f we hadn’t jumped back!” Yusuke shouted, however was interrupted by the masked fighter.

“Refining one’s aura can make it invisible to weaker opponents. You two are definitely in that category.” the masked fighter states.

“So how do we fight ‘em?” asks Kuwabara, wiping some blood from his mouth.

Both teams stare each other down.

The stare down is broken by Ichigaki speaking.

“Yeah, run ‘em down! Corner ‘em kill ‘em!” he shouts.

The blond throws spirit disks at Yusuke and Kuwabara. Yusuke and Kuwabara dodge the disks; however they still get grazed by them. Then the braided hair guy attacks Kuwabara and Yusuke, sending Kuwabara to the ground while Yusuke is sent flying through the air.

(*&They focus on the visible razor rings and miss the invisible threats! Their foes, meanwhile, attack with coordinated precision!*&) thinks the masked fighter.

(*$Heh heh…with their minds controlled by the blood-slaver nodes on their backs, they’ve demonstrated an 80% victory rate in normal one-on-one and a variety or anomalous conditions! Our chances here still stand at 99.95%! We will win! $*)

Yusuke was about to land, when the guy with the claw attack comes towards Yusuke with his fist in the air.

“Aww, cra-“ Yusuke started to say, but was kicked out of the way by the masked fighter, which gave them little time to get out of the way of the attack them self. The attack hit the masked fighter, sending them flying backwards and out of bounds.

“The masked fighter took the hound claw hit for his team mate!! He’s knocked out of bounds! Starting the count!” shouts Koto, who is commentating from a much safer position then before.

The other two brain washed fighters come towards Yusuke and Kuwabara. Yusuke is moving to stand up, while Kuwabara is standing in front of him, willing to protect him from the attack and give him a chance to get up. He also has his spirit sword out, ready to fight if need be.

“Grr! Snap out of it! You guys don’t wanna do this!!” Kuwabara shouts.

He starts to run, getting their attention away from Yusuke and on to him, causing them to follow him.

The blond guy throws disks at Kuwabara, causing Kuwabara to dodge as he runs, however still getting grazed by the disks.

“Heh heh…what they want doesn’t matter one whit! The blood-slaver nods literally enslave the blood, and through the blood, the brain. There’s no talking them out of their homicidal fury!” says Ichigaki.
“Blast it!” growls Kuwabara.

(*&These guys aren’t the real enemy!*&) thinks Yusuke.

Kuwabara is surprised as the braided hair guy comes straight at him. Kuwabara puts up his sprit sword, ready to block the attack; however the masked fighter comes out of no where and kicks the guy away from Kuwabara.

Kuwabara’s eyes widen as the mask falls off. The fighter kicks the other two fighters. The mask completely falls to the ground, revealing the masked fighter to be a beautiful young woman.

The three fighters skid to a stop and stand up.

Kuwabara looks at the girl, while Yusuke looks confused.

“you idiots! Don’t hesitate! Do you think by losing you’ll save their souls?” she asks.

Both Yusuke and Kuwabara just look at the girl, knowing she was right.

“The masked fighter’s up at the four count and now we know--- she’s a young woman!” shouts Koto.

“Who’d have th-huh?” Koto starts, but was interrupted by a deformed body hitting the arena and the head from that body flying past her.

“One of Dr Ichigaki’s team has fallen from the sky—in pieces!! AWP!! He’s hit the wall!” Koto shouts.

A monster crashed through one of the sides where the audience was. Ichigaki gasps as he sees his monster with two of Team Urameshi’s team mates.

“Hiei! Kurama!” shouts Yusuke.

“That pile of trash told us everything. To save their teacher, those three humans submitted to experimentation. They had no idea they’d be turned into killing machines.” says Kurama.

“So that’s what my dream was about!” shouts Kuwabara, realizing it was a vision of their opponent’s past.

“What’s more Ichigaki caused their teacher to fall ill in the first place.” Kurama says with sad eyes.

The three brain-washed human had no emotions on their faces, but who could imagine the pain and feeling of betrayal they felt inside at the realization of that what they did was be tricked.

“Say…” starts a pissed off Kuwabara.

“…what?!” finishes an equally pissed off Yusuke.

“Gyuk gyuk.” Laughs Ichigaki.

(*$Fools! This will only work in my favor. The angrier they get at me, the harder time they’ll have fighting my thralls!*$) thinks Ichigaki

You stir in the bed and slowly open your eyes. You blink as you are face to face with Kouga, your stuff wolf. You stare at it; confused at why Kuwabara wasn’t the one you were snuggling up next to.

You sat up and realized that you were alone in the room! You shook your head.

‘They wouldn’t leave without me, would they?’ you think.

You close your eyes and focus on finding their auras. Nothing. Anger started to build up in you.

“Why those no good slimy---grr...they left me, while they’re fighting in the Dark Tournament, risking their lives, with out me!! Oh I’m gonna kill them!” you shout, jumping out of bed.

You dig into your suit case, still pissed off. You finally find a sleeveless white t-shirt that had a British crest in the middle of the shirt. The crest is in blue and black and has shiny beads that are obviously fake looking gems. You stood up and hop around, moving towards the front door, while putting your navy blue sweat pants, that have a white strip on both sides of the pants.

As you open the door, your right foot missed the pant leg, causing you to fall out of your hotel room and into the hallway, one leg in your sweat pants while the other up in the air, bent over. Your hair was in your face, covering your now red eyes and face; which was red from both anger and now embarrassment at the fact that anyone could see your Scooby-Doo boxers that were now showing.

This was going to be one of those days, you just knew it…

Back to the Dark Tournament….

“It was only a trap for the purpose of experimentation?!” shouts a stunned Yusuke.

“Yes…and what can you do about it? Your mission is to defeat your opponent, no? Busy yourselves only with your own affairs! Don’t be bothered about being over powered by these machines. These are guinea pigs, they enrich my work, that’s all!” laughs Ichigaki.

“Bastard!” growls Yusuke, who is glaring at the evil doctor.

Both Yusuke and Kuwabara charge at Dr. Ichigaki.

“You’re dead!” they both shout, fueled by their rage.

Out of nowhere, the human with the braided black hair gives Yusuke flying sides kick to his stomach, while Kuwabara gets a right hook to his face by the blonde guy. Both are sent flying backwards.

“Why are they rushing to protect him?!” shouts a confused and pissed off Yusuke, watching as the three are now standing in front of Ichigaki.

“My little ones are very gifted. That lump on their backs controls their souls; it’s the heart of the system! If the lump is removed, their death is assured!” Ichigaki says.

“They are programmed to sacrifice themselves for me if need be! If you want my death, you’ll have to take them first!”

Kuwabara growls and looks down.

“S-so we hafta kill ‘em?!” he says.

“I can’t do that….I saw them in my dream, I know didn’t have that dream for nothin’….they aren’t completely brainwashed! That dream was them reaching out for help!” growls Kuwabara.

“Don’t just stand there, dear boys! Attack!” commands Ichigaki.

All three rush forward, in attack mode. Kuwabara just stands there, not even trying to defend himself.

“Kuwabara doesn’t want to dodge!” shouts Koto in shock.

“He wants to die?!” says a worried and shocked Hiei.

“You have to wake up! You can’t let yourselves be corrupted by this bastard!!” Kuwabara shouts.

Blood splatters everywhere as all three attack Kuwabara close to one of his vital points on his body. Kuwabara gasps as he flies backwards, seemingly in slow motion.

Yusuke’s eyes widen and go white as he watches his best friend fall. The masked fighter looks on in disbelief as well.

Once Kuwabara’s body lands on the floor, Yusuke rushes to his side.

“Kuwabara!!”

“Heh heh heh…one less.” Laughs Ichigaki.

“The situation is extremely critical! Kuwabara suffered a huge collective attack!” shots Koto.

Yusuke gently lifts Kuwabara’s upper body up, looking at his bloody body.

Yusuke turns his head, fire in his eyes, towards the three humans that attacked Kuwabara.

“…You…I’m going to…” starts a pissed off Yusuke.

He stops as he notices blood dripping from one of their eyes, like tears; yet his eyes and face shows no emotion.

($*We must die…we must be killed….you must kill us….we must die$*) the emotionless warriors chant in their heads; words they can not speak aloud because of the things on their backs.

(*&Tears of blood…&*) Yusuke thinks.

“His vital points weren’t touched. They have avoided killing him.” states a shocked masked fighter as she looks over Kuwabara’s body, which is fully lying on the ground. Kuwabara groans, proving her point that he was in fact still a live.
“They struggle against their tears. Crazy…” the masked fighter states, sorrow in her voice.

Dr. Ichigaki laughs.

“I’m dying of laughter!! What a feeling of suffering in this scene! The human soul is distressingly silly!”

Yusuke’s eyes shine fire at the disgusting demon, as he narrows them; which are glowing hate towards Ichigaki’s direction.

“You!” he growls out.
“IF you did to me what you’ve done to me….I’d want someone to kill me, too!” glares Yusuke.

The masked fighter stares at Yusuke, whose body is beginning to glow.

(*%His power is growing! His anger augments his force!!%*) thinks the masked fighter.

Yusuke disappears, shocking everyone. He reappears in front of the braided hair man, punching him in the face. Yusuke sends him onto his back, skidding backwards.

“Huh?!” asks a shocked Ichigaki.

Koto gasps as well.

One of the guys with a scar on his forehead brings his fist back, ready to use his hound claw on Yusuke.

(*&I see it! &*) thinks Yusuke, who dodges moving backwards.

“Amazing! Urameshi has changed tactics! One would say his only strategy is to fight!” shouts an astonished Koto.

“That isn’t possible?! A calculation error? I must revise my prediction…I must verify our chances of victory!” says Ichigaki, taking out a calculator and plugging in the figures.

He reads 52.725%

(*$Our chances have fallen?!*$) he thinks.

“So? One has a little problem? That technology is fine, but the human spirit is un predictable.” says Kurama, looking at the disgraceful demon, as well as Hiei.

“But…It’s only an error! Go! Rid us of them!” commands Ichigaki, pointing at Yusuke.

All three of them head straight towards Yusuke.

Yusuke’s fist is powering up as he glares at his on coming opponents.

The masked fighter glances over at him.

(*%I feel the power of his fist. Yusuke’s restrained himself, I’ve never seen this!* %) she thinks.

(*&I see I, he has an energy sword!*&) Yusuke thinks, seeing the guy with the braided hair’s ‘invisible’ weapon.

Yusuke dodges their attack, but jumping into the air. He then kicks the guy, sending him to the ground.

(*%He can use it…but he can’t save them* %) the masked fighter thinks, knowing what Yusuke is about to try.

“Sorry to have to do this, guys! You’ll hear my excuses in Hell!” he shouts, about to fire a spirit gun.

A hand grabs his wrist, surprising him and stopping him in his attack.

“Drop it.” The masked fighter says, holding his attack back.

(*&My arm’s immobilized! &*) Yusuke thinks, in shock at being frozen, just by her touch.

(*$I can’t lose! He can’t kill them, impossible!*$) thinks a hopeful Ichigaki.

“I’ll do it my self.” The masked fighter says who has her mask back on.

“The masked fighter has returned!! He wants to face off against the three opponents!” Koto says, already forgetting it was a girl under the mask.

Ichigaki laughs.

“They delude themselves; they can do nothing against my little ones! Go! They must die!” orders Ichigaki.

“I’ll be obliged to concentrate my energy…” the masked fighter says, starting to chant, channeling her energy to her hands.

“N…no!!” shouts Yusuke, not believing she was really going to do it.

“Soon the end?!” says an excited Koto.

(*%Not yet…* %) thinks the masked fighter.

She brings her fingers back saying “Light”

All three humans gasp and their eyes widen as they charge into the light.

The masked fighter quickly sticks her two fingers, which were glowing, into their chest, where their hearts are; saying “Purify.”

“Judgment!” she shouts.

Just then blood squirts out of their backs, where the nods are. The nods explode, causing the three fighters to fall backwards.

Yusuke’s eyes widen and turn white as he watches the three falls, just as Kuwabara did earlier.

“Not possible…they…are dead?!” shouts a shocked Ichigaki.

“Incredible…In a single attack?! No signs of life…” Yusuke says sadly.

(*&With out this help I was fucked, but….*&) thinks Yusuke sadly.

“Down! We can start the count down!! 1…! 2…! 3….! 4….!”

And finally….

“…10! The victory goes to Team Urameshi!! They here by qualify to the next stage!” announces Koto.

“That doesn’t matter! I didn’t want to win this way!” Yusuke shouts, pissed off. He turns his angry eyes towards a frightened Ichigaki.

“You’re going to pay!” Yusuke growls.

“If you kill me, their master will die! I’m the only one who knows the antidote which can save him!” says a frightened Ichigaki.

Kurama and Hiei appear in front of the trembling demon.

“I think not.” says Kurama.

“Huh?”

Just then the master comes towards the demon, anger in his eyes.

“You snake…” he says, coming closer.

“That’s not possible?!” shouts Ichigaki, taking a step backwards.

“Your assistant recounted the whole tale and Kurama isn’t bad at making remedies.” Smirks Hiei.

“You want me to give you a course in poisons?” Kurama asks, smiling as well.

Yusuke comes up behind the disgusting demon.

“Bastard! Are you read to die?!” glares Yusuke, more then glad to kill this guy.

Ichigaki laughs.

“I’m not going to let my self be done in! I’m going to teach you the meaning of terror!!”

Ichigaki takes out a needle and injects him self with some kind of liquid, changing the already ugly demon into a gruesome monster.

Everyone stares at him in shock, except for Yusuke, who only looks at him in disgust and rage.

“So! What do you think of my work? Are you afraid? DIE!” he shouts, going for Yusuke.

Yusuke snorts and with one punch sends the beast flying into the stands, which was empty at the moment, since all of the people moved in time. There is now a creator of a dead Ichigaki in the middle of the stand.

“He’ll repent his deeds in Hell, that bastard!” growls Yusuke, still a bit pissed.

“The doctor’s been pulverized! He’s come to rest in the stands!” Koto shouts, obviously loving every moment.

“But why have I survived…? I can’t forgive myself…” says a miserable master.

“You must regret nothing.” says the masked fighter.

“But…really?” asks a confused Yusuke.

The three humans stand up, all perfectly fine, except for the blood stains on their backs which were made from the nods when the exploded. They looked around, confused.

“They’re alive!” shouts a shocked Yusuke.

“En! Ryo! Kai! You’re alive!” shouts an ecstatic master.

“Crazy! I thought they were dead?!” shouted an even more confused Yusuke then before.

“I see that it works.” The masked fighter thinks aloud.

(*%It’s been 20 years since I had to use this lot* %) the masked fighter thinks, sighing.

“En! Ryo! Kai!” the master shouts again, happy.

“Master!” shouts a surprised Kai, the one with the scar on his fore head and made the Hound Claw.

All three turn their backs from their master, all three ashamed.

“Don’t come near us!” Kai shouts.

The master looks at his three boys, confused.

“We’ve committed crimes…” says En, the one with the black braided hair.

“…we went crazy for you!” says Ryo, the one that shot the flying disks.

“….We must die.” says Kai.

“Band of fools!” the master say, shocking all three of these students.

“…Stop saying stupid things. The technique that I used is one of five daikuni. The reikohadoken probes the soul to purify the body. If the soul is impure, the material body destroys it self…you are free by your own medium. I have only guided your deliverance…” states the masked fighter.

“My children… I have always believed you to have the noblest of souls. You are not justified in wishing your own deaths.” scolds the master.

He then smiles, and opens his arm up.

“Now come to me…It’s been a long time since I shouted at you…heheheheh!” he laughs through his tears of happiness.

The three stood there for a moment, be fore turning and rushing forward, embracing their master, all falling to the floor in a hug.

“Master!” all three boys shout, happy to be forgiven of crimes they were unable to stop.

Read and Review please!
