   *SQUEAL* (and I apologize for the length…but I have been gone forever and have much to catch up on yes?)
Refi: HELLO ONE AND ALL! I AM BACK FROM MY TRIP SAFE AND SOUND! And by popular request, tonight I will celebrate by the first half of episode 3 for YYH Beyond! Just a few funny and fun things to share before I do however. *passes out pizza* Here, lets eat in the banquet hall whilst I discuss them! NUMBER 1: Okedays, so up on vacation for my friend’s wedding (among other things to do in the town I attended college in) I got to be with my possie. Now the bond between my possie originated by watching DBZ, so these are some good anime friends I got to hang with (Equus is one of them, but unfortunately she could not make it out to join us ToT ) and I brought my Kurama plushie, the one we stayed with has a Sesshomaru plushie, and the other friend that came out brought her Yuki plushie and found (out in the middle of nowhere too I might add) a Miroku plushie and bought him so now she has all the Inuyasha ones. So anyways, the girl we were staying with was the Maid of Honor, she and the brides maids held a rose each in the reception line. Later at her apartment, I had my plushie Kurama pick up her rose (plastic) and “ROSE WHIP” her Sesshy plushie! lol Oh yeah, MY PLUSHIE CAN BEAT UP YOUR PLUSHIE!!! I wanted to get a clip of it on digital camera, but we didn’t get around to it ToT But, I did set up Kurama and Sesshy w/ the rose and took a pic, so after my film is developed, maybe I can scan the scene so I can post if for you (Oh, and my friend’s comeback was Sesshy using his acid claws on Kurama ToT poor poor Kurama-sama!) NUMBER 2: Ok so Tokyopop has a free quarterly magazine of Manga that comes out, and I signed up for it. The first couple were if-y…but this OH BUT THIS ONE! on the cover (back cover which would be front in Japanese…the magazine has 2 fronts actually) was none other than TOHRU HONDA!!! And inside was none other than…the first chapter out of VOLUME 13! Which by the way isn’t coming out until April! ^________^ I felt so privileged to be among the first to read it! YIPPIE! No spoilers but, it’s Yuki’s Parent-Teacher conference w/ his mom and then who should show up but someone who I am not to fond of…but I was actually glad did show up! And there was text messaging…not a big part, but funny. btw, this last week I was able to read all the FB manga since my friend owns them…and if anyone can answer please PM me, but I recall online about volume 9 and this last summer, there was talk about a spoiler concerning Akito (which I know what it is, but won’t say for those who know not yet) but I read nothing in all the mangas I read so where was it that we find that out? And Finally, NUMBER 3 I have a special project that so far only Equus and Inuyasha311 (who btw is some-what quiting MyO and I will miss on here very much, but at least I’ll still see her on her forum) *cough*cough*hint*hint*nudge*nugde*lol*^_~* have really heard about, but I probably am boring you so I will save it for another day, and let you read on to YYH Beyond, since so many of you were interested in that (which I thank you all so greatly for supporting me since I want to aspire to be a writer and change the world through my works). Still, I feel adventurous and invite you to ask questions about the project which I will answer next post! RULES: No asking directly what it is! I have something like “20 questions” in mind so if you can phrase it as a yes/no question, then please keep it that way. All right, now without further ado, I boot you off to the story-telling room so you can read the story!!! ^___________^

p.s. Thank you TheMouse for the feedback you sent me on this portion oh-so-long-ago!(I didn’t post this part sooner since I was stuck on the previous fight scene ^///^) I took every comment into consideration!

YYH Beyond: Episode 3 {first half}: A PAST TO SHAPE THE FUTURE
{Previously: What was meant to be a friendly get together was cut short as earthquakes emerged from the nearby forest. Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei were quick to get to the bottom of the situation, a demon disguised as a young woman. In attempt to stop her, Yusuke has already been knocked out for the count and Kurama took his skills to par with her. Able to coax her out of her mud armor the gang learns that she really is a female fox-demon that apparently Kurama already is familiar with. Who is she really and why has she been causing terror in the Human Realm? Find out today on YuYu Hakusho Beyond! REMINDER: Yusuke is 21, he and Keiko are married and have a son, Mukuro won the previous (the second one) tournament and is currently ruling Demon World}

[Kurama and Yokira lunge at each other. Yusuke and Kuwabara uncover their faces then look on in shock. Kurama and Yokira are wrestling on the ground, teeth in neck and nails in back.] Yusuke: That’s an interesting way to fight. Kuwabara: Yeah, especially for Kurama. Hiei: Are you fools blind? How do you expect spirit foxes to greet each other? Yusuke: Greet? [looks closely at Yokira] Say, she does have ears and a tail like Kurama in his Yoko form. [While Yokira is on top of Kurama, they loosen their grip and Yokira props herself up, enabling them to get a good look at each other.] Yokira: You’ve been quite rude never sending word. Kurama: You expected me to write or something? Yokira: I suppose not. [flipping Kurama’s hair away] My, my, look what’s become of you! Kurama: You haven’t changed a bit. Don’t tell me you have caused so much commotion here in the human world just searching for me. Yokira: We thought you were dead! But after the Dark Tournament rumors came back that Yoko had returned. Kurama: You’ve become slow; the Dark Tournament was several years ago. Yusuke: Hey! Excuse me for interrupting this intimate moment, but do you mind explaining to the rest of us what the world is going on! Kurama: Oh I’m sorry; [nudges Yokira off and sits up facing Yusuke] this is my sister, Yokira. Yusuke/Kuwabara: SISTER?!?!? Hiei: Obviously. Does that surprise you? Yusuke: Well yeah, I only ever hear him expressing care over his human mother; he never mentioned any demon relatives before. Kurama: I never had a need to, I’m sorry. Kuwabara: So do you have any other relatives we should know about? Kurama: Two more sisters and two brothers, we were a liter of six. We all specialize over a different element. Yokira’s is over “Earth,” and if you couldn’t guess by now, mine is over plants or “Flora” as it were. Yokira: Yeah, the others have “Fauna” which is animals, “Water,” “Fire,” and “Air,” and out of all of us, [reaches over, giving noogies to Kurama’s head] Little Yoko here is the runt of the litter! [Yusuke and Kuwabara try to suppress chuckles but fail and collapse laughing.] Kurama: [hiding embarrassment] And might I add, Yokira, that you were the one always throwing tantrums? [Yokira backs off. Yusuke and Kuwabara stop laughing, stare at Yokira and burst out in hysterical laughter again.] Yusuke: HAHAHA You mean our “Big Bad Wolf” mud monster still throws tantrums! Kuwabara: Kicking and hitting the ground like a little baby? [smirk] HAHAHA! Kurama: True, she acts just like a toddler sometimes, which is how she got so good at causing earthquakes. Yokira: Grrr [clenches fist and vein pops out of forehead] Don’t make me tell them about some of the fits you used to throw! Hiei: Enough nonsense! Now that everything is clear, [pointing to Yokira] you made a promise. Yokira: [stands up, pretending innocently] I did? Now let me think… Kurama: [also rises and brushes self off] You must go back to Demon World. Yokira: What? Just when I am reunited with my long lost brother? [throws arms over Kurama’s shoulders and squeezes him against herself] For shame! Hiei: Drop the act; those were you’re pathetic terms. Yokira: [continuing to hold Kurama to her with one arm while using the other arm to gesture] Now why would I say something like that? NoNo, don’t answer! I’m in no mood to argue, I will go ahead with your silly deal, but I’m taking my brother with me! [Hiei looks bamboozled from Yokira’s insanity while she starts to drag Kurama away with her.] Kurama: [pushing himself away from her grasp] Yokira! It’s not as easy as all that. Yokira: Come again? You mean after fifteen hundred years you don’t have the decency to come say hello to your siblings? Kuwabara: Woah! FIFTEEN HUNDRED YEARS? How old are you Kurama? Yokira: tsktsk, Weren’t you listening to you’re [pointing to Yusuke] friend here? It’s rude to ask a woman’s age! Kurama: Yokira, please. Yokira: Well since he wants to know how old you are, and you and I being the same age, he is indirectly asking my age! Yusuke: [can’t stop laughing] Wow, you’re quite the joker when you aren’t wreaking havoc! I thought you were referring to just Kurama! hahaha, woman’s age… Yokira: [raises eyebrow] Well I’m so glad I have you’re approval. Now if you don’t mind, you all want me back in Demon world and I need to speak with my brother first. [Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei are taken aback, but stay and listen as Yokira turns to Kurama and they speak] Kurama: [frowns and shakes head] I will not return to Demon World with you. Yokira: You must. Why in heaven’s name not? Kurama: I have changed; I am not the demon I once was. Neither you, the others, nor I would find this reunion enjoyable. Yokira: [frowns] Then at least come and show us for our selves! Kurama: There is no point for me to. Plus I have many duties here that prevent me from leaving. Yokira: [examining nails] Gee, I’d hate to do this…but earlier I heard mention of a human mother you care for? [glances at Kurama’s widened eyes] Her safety should be worth some good old family time…just come visit us for a month that’s all we’re asking you. Kurama: [looks stern] You won’t be able to put up with me that long! By the end of the first week you will all be sick of me. Yokira: A week it is then, but if we are not sick of you after that, you must stay a whole month! Kurama: Then I shall ask that none of you will bother me again after this trial. Yokira: I cannot make such a promise for the whole pack, you will have to take it up with them…but you have my word on your condition. [extends hand] I’d give anything to get my brother back, even if it means to loose you forever. Kurama: [shakes Yokira’s hand] Truly I’m touched, but I assure you that I am no longer the brother you once knew. Please give me a week to make arrangements for me to go. Yokira: Fair enough…I have some arrangements to make of my own, you were correct in noting the time elapsed since the Dark Tournament, I have had to survive here in the Human World for a while as I searched for you. Indeed, it will feel good to cut those ties I have acquired. [shifts back into human form that she first appeared as] So in exactly one week, meet me here at this spot. [walks away from the clearing] And don’t try anything funny, remember, [looks back over shoulder towards Kurama] I’ll be watching you! [winks at Kurama then leaves] Yusuke: [pauses] That was weird. Hey Kurama, if your siblings are all like her, a month with them can’t be that bad… [stops when he looks at Kurama and sees the saddened look in his eyes] …whoa, are you alright? Kurama: [walks away] I must depart now. I’m glad we could meet together one last time. [leaves] Yusuke: [shocked] Did I miss something? Kuwabara: You and me both! Hiei: You fools, like always, fail to grasp the situation. She has been searching for a while, but that is only a fraction of the time compared to before Yoko disappeared in which they could have sought him out. Their interest in him is not because he is their brother; it is his abilities in which they have use for. Why else do you think that they only need him with them for a month? They are untrustworthy, even if they keep their promises, they will find a loophole. Kurama realizes this…they can’t to bother the dead. Kuwabara: WHAT?!?!? Yusuke: [jumps up and shakes Hiei by the collar] You mean Kurama is walking into a death trap? Hiei: [calmly] He had no choice, wasn’t it you that let Yokira know of his weakness for his human mother? Yusuke: [lets go of Hiei in shock] Well we can’t just stand here! Hiei: Do what you want, Mukuro sent me to stop the disturbances. As much as I detest it, human safety is my only concern. I’ll keep an eye on them both. [jumps and disappears] “Refi-chan here to intercept, now does Yokira seem like a Mary Sue? Next time: We get a bit more acquainted w/ Kurama’s wife, Midori, the grand-niece of Genkai!”

Oh, and I promise if you can endure all my long post like this, it will make editing essays in high school a synch! Bear in mind that trials make us stronger; if we never had problems, we would never progress. Where would Goku be if there was no Vegetta, Freiza, Cell, or Buu to push him to his limit? I can tell ya it wouldn’t be Super Saiyan!
