Double Trouble (YYH) part 2- A night of surprises
Second one is finally out and dedicated to InuyashaArtist.

“It WHAT!?!” yells Yusuke and Kuwabara at the same time. Kurama stands there with a look of confusion on his face and Hiei has a slight look of shock, but quickly turns back to his normal emotionless self. KOEN: “like I said, the sword has the power to heal; it cannot kill.” YUS” “What would the point be in having a weapon that doesn’t kill people?” KUR: “I think they have something bigger planned.” KOEN: “I agree. You guys are assigned guard duty tonight to stop them. Do not kill them, we need them to join the team.” HIEI: “Hn. This won’t be hard at all.” They all exit through the doors to ready themselves for the night ahead. KOEN: “I hope your right Hiei. I hope your right.” He says once the team is out of earshot.

Outside Koenma’s Vault

Two people stalk the shadows in the dead of night, waiting for their chance to hit the vault. They wear baggy black pants, that make no sound and are very easy to fight and move in, a black long sleeve shirt, black soundless sneakers, a knee length black cloak that covers their heads and a black mask to hide their faces. The first has glowing red eyes and the second has bright green eyes. Together they stalk all three worlds and are known as some of the best thieves ever. They are known by most as the Midnight Stalkers.

“Okay, here’s the plan Furian: we get in, crack open the vault, grab the sword and get out as quick and as silent as possible.” The one with the red eyes says to the one with green eyes, whose name is Furian. The voice is soft and masculine, and flows like silk. FURIAN: “Do you have your kit to open the safe, Vain?” VAIN: “Yeah, let’s go.” They both lock their masks in place and head out of the forest that they were taking cover in, and silently creep towards Koenma’s vault. After a few minutes of stalking through the shadows, the two of them finally reach the entrance to the vault. VAIN- from this point on only talk to me through telepathy, okay?- he says in Furian’s mind. FURIAN- right- he answers back. Vain pulls a small black box out of his cloak pocket and opens it to find a water like key inside. He takes the key and places it in the keyhole. The water key takes the shape of the door lock and forms into the precise shape to open the door. Vain slowly unlocks the door and pushed it open, but only about a centimeter. He places his ear to the door to make sure nobody was around. Nothing. He thinks to himself. They both walked in cautiously as Vain put a mind barrier around his and his brother’s minds so no one could detect them.

A few weeks ago, Vain had stolen the blue prints to Koenma’s vault so they knew exactly where to go. They both walked down a long hallway with many doors on either side. When they had neared the end they stopped in front of a bookcase. Vain walked up to the bookcase and continued to walk right through it. Furian followed. The room they had just entered was like an entrance hall in a king’s throne room. It had stone floors with a big red and gold carpet leading to a giant metal door. VAIN: “This is it Furian.” He says in his silky voice. FURIAN: “Yeah, let’s hurry and get this sword so we can go home.” VAIN: “I’m with you there, bro. This place gives me the creeps.” His brother nods his head in agreement as the two of them walk quietly towards the safe doors.

With the Gang

KUWA: “So what’s this thing supposed to do?” he holds up a small remote control. KURA: “It’s a special device that will cause great pain to any wind type demon it is pointed at. It is called a wind wing.” YUS: “That’s nice and all, but only one of them is a wind demon right?” KURA: “Yes which means…” Hiei finishes his sentence with slight amusement in his voice. HIEI: “We get to fight the other one.” KURA: “Yes, but if for some reason things don’t turn out right, Koenma also gave us this gas bomb that will weaken and put any fire demon to sleep. But, it would also effect Hiei.” KUWA: “Hey guys, are there supposed to be people in there.” He says pointing to a t.v. screen on the wall. YUS: “Let’s go bag us some demons.” The boys walk out of the room they were in and head towards the vault entrance.

In the vault

Vain’s back is turned on his brother as he tries to open the door. He is almost finished when he hears a gasp and a “Vain…run…” from Furian. VAIN: “Furian what’s wrong.” He asks quickly turning just to see the spirit detectives with a wind wing pointed at his brother. Vain sees that he is in great pain and rushes over to catch him just in time as he collapses unconscious. His eyes start to glow a murderous blood red as he sets his brother down on the ground gently and stands to face the boys. With just a flick of his wrist he shoots a fire ball at the wind wing, disintegrating it upon contact. All the boys stare at Vain with a look of awe except for Kuwabara who looks as he’s about to faint, he was the one holding the wind wing. Vain says in a deadly clam voice that sends chills up all the boys spines, even Hiei, VAIN- “No body hurts my family and gets away with it. Who am I to fight first.” A smirk plays across his face even though the boys cannot see it.

Kuwabara steps forward: “Spirit sword” he yells as a sword made of spirit energy forms in his hands. He charges at Vain, and at the last second Vain side steps and trips him, sending him flying into the wall unconscious. Yusuke steps forward and puts his hands in the shape of a gun and points it at him. YUS: “Spirit Gun” he shouts as a ball of blue spirit energy went hurdling toward Vain. A smile plays across Vain’s face as he simply puts out his hands and catches Yusuke’s attack and throws it back at him. It hits Yusuke square in the chest and sends him flying into the wall. He is not unconscious but he is in no condition to fight. Kurama begins to step forward but Hiei holds out his hand to stop him. Kurama looks over to see a slight smile upon his face and willingly steps back to let Hiei fight. Hiei unsheathes his katana and heads towards Vain. Vain also draws his katana and gets into a fighting stance ready for the attack.

Hiei charged at him but Vain jumps over him and quickly turns around to slash his back but Hiei’s too fast and he disappears and reappears behind Vain in an attempt to attack him. Vain turned around just in time to block his attack. As the two blades met they created sparks and then the both of them shattered. Both fighters toss their blades aside and continue to fight using hand-to-hand combat. They were moving so fast that the other three boys (Kuwabara woke up) couldn’t keep up. This went on for about ten minutes. When both of them reappear on opposite ends of the room they’re both beat up and have cuts and bruises all over their bodies. During the fight the hood of Vain’s cloak fell down to reveal long, mid-length dark brown hair, held in a high ponytail. KUWA: “Hey that guy has long hair just like you Kurama.” KURA: “Thanks, I think.”

HIEI: “Fists of the mortal flame.” He yells as he sends a punch fueled by fire shooting towards Vain. Vain has just enough time to put a shield up to block his attack. The two attacks collide and create a huge explosion that destroys half of the room. When the smoke and dust clears it reveals both Vain and Hiei lying on the ground. Both fighters start to get up slowly. As he stands, Vain feels a pain sweep through his left arm. He looks down and sees a gash in his arm stretching from the shoulder all the way to his wrist, and it’s bleeding badly. Vain looks over at Hiei to see that he holds his broken sword in his hands and it’s dripping with blood. His blood.

VAIN: “I’m amazed. No one has ever gotten the better of me before. I congratulate and thank you on a great fight. But now my brother and I will be leaving.” He starts to head towards his brother’s body when Kurama jumps in-between the two. KURA: “I’m sorry, but I can’t let you leave Vain.” VAIN: “Well we are just going to have to change that, know aren’t we, fox?” Kurama seems confused as to how he knew he was a fox demon, but quickly brushed it aside. KURA: “Hiei, run!” he says as he throws a small silver ball towards Vain. Hiei is out the door in no time flat as the ball lands a foot away from Vain and a red mist erupts from it and swirls around him. Vain can feel his spirit energy and strength draining and he collapses in a heap on the floor. Although the mist didn’t knock him unconscious, it did deplete all of his strength and he is now paralyzed.

Hiei reenters the room. KUWA: “I thought it was supposed to knock him out.” KURA: “Indeed, but I guess he-“ Hiei cut him off HIEI: “was strong enough to withstand that side effect. But, not the weakening one.” KURA: “Exactly.” YUS: “Guys, maybe we should get them to Koenma’s before he gets his strength back and decides to TEAR OUR HEADS OFF!!” All the boys looked in Vain’s direction. And indeed, his hand was starting to move slightly. KURA: “Your right. Hiei if you will get Vain then I will get Furian.” HIEI: “hn.” Is all he says before he makes his way towards Vain as Kurama heads for Furian. VAIN: “No, please. Let him go. Take me.” Everyone is take aback by his sudden outburst and plea. KURA: “I’m sorry, but we have orders to bring the both of you to Koenma. No harm will come to either of you.” Vain shakes his head slowly, partly from the mist and partly from the admittance of defeat. Hiei picks him up and throws him over his shoulder while Kurama picks Furian up bridal style, and they all headed out towards Koenma’s office. After about ten minutes of turning down too many halls to count the group finally stops out front of two big red doors.

Yusuke and Kuwabara open the doors and every body walks inside. There is a couch on the right wall and a wooden desk in the center of the room with a big red chair behind it. There are five other chairs in front of the desk. Sitting in the chair behind the desk is a toddler. VAIN: “Koenma…” he says in acknowledgment. KOEN: “Vain… Kurama I thought you activated the weakening gas.” KURA: “I did, but we believe that he is strong enough to withstand the sleeping effects.” Hiei throws Vain on the floor in front of Koenma’s desk. With much pain and effort Vain was able to sit up, to every ones, except Koenma’s, surprise.

YUS: “Okay, how do you two know each other and how are you able to move so much.?” The first question was directed towards Koenma and the second towards Vain. KOEN: “ All will be explained if you just listen. Kurama would you please help K-“ Vain cut him off very forcefully VAIN: “It’s Vain!” he stresses and with a pleading look to Koenma, he understands that Vain doesn’t want his true identity revealed. KOEN: “Very well, Kurama could you help Vain into his chair?” With a nod of his head he sets Furian on the couch and walks over and helps Vain into a chair. All the boys take a sit down as well, two to either side of Vain. KOEN: “Where to start…Okay! I know both Vain and Furian because…”


End of Part two.
