   I'm greatful for friends
~~~
Adding a P.S. at the top XD Since this is a longer than normal long post and not everyone may make it to the end lol!

My Texas friend I keep mentioning in this post got an account on TheO! Her username is Frolay. If you can welcome her, I'm sure she'd appreciate it...and if you ever wanted to see the YuYu guys play DDR, subscribe so you'll know when she gets her special wallpapers up here!

(and a special thank you to any and all who have submitted wallpapers, esp to the YYH category, it's the best collection she come acrossed on the net and was throughly please with options when she wanted to change her desktop wallpaper!)

Banzai was a HUGE blast! You guys have no idea! But the short of it, it was all about Friday XD

Kurama and Hiei were the first cosplayers I saw when we got there! <3 and it ended up they new me and my Texas friend from DA and I knew the Kurama because she's the sister of our anime club president X3
*1st costume~Pregnant Gracia (FMA)...and everyone thought I was REALLY pregnant XD Gave birth to a fraggle for Sonny Strait (voiced Maes Hughes) and he exclaimed, "Looks just like me!" then did the Kodocha dance a cappella solo, he got the whole room clapping the beat. I showed him my Misako hat and he told me to come to his booth in Artists' Alley when I was in my Kodocha outfit. Redid my pregnant to meet Vic Mignogna (Edward Elric) he recoiled when feeling it 'kick' (even though it didn't do anything) and freaked out Ed-style when I 'went into labor'
*2nd costume~Misako (Kodocha) homeless look {the hat didn't want to stay on} Got to talk with Sonny, found out a range of wages for VAs and found out some of the extras he's played, cool minor roles too by my opinion! Spent tons of $$$ at the dealers room >.>;;; all because they accepted credit cards without additional fees like they did at AnimeFest...
*3rd costume~Spoiler! (Rose, an OC not yet introduced in YYH Beyond!) There was a Yusuke cosplayer with a spirit gun and paper mache puu so we planned a YYH photoshoot if we could get all of us together. I hung out with Kurama and Hiei taking cosplay pics. They went to an event and I chilled, ran into Yusuke again, and with Yusuke got with Hiei and Kurama for a YYH photoshoot before Vic's Q&A
~Asked Vic a ? ^^, so did my friend {hilarious! If you love Vic, you'll want to hear this!} ...more Banzai vids on my YouTube page-check out Sonny's if you get a chance, I thought he was funny!~

Yay he endorsed my character XD >.> I just remembered in my dream last night he kept talking in that voice at a con in my church building from where I grew up and I was about to go up for a performance of a song from Oklahoma or something but then there were tech issues or something and then I woke up again...

So I was pretty tired by then, but there was the masqurade ball that night and I went to that (that's the whole reason I had costume #3) Techno video game music for '15 min' (it seemed less to me XD) then they announced the winners of the silent auction of getting a dance with Vic to come up and pay...and I heard my name O_O
*FANGIRL SPAZ!* YES IT'S TRUE! I GOT TO DANCE WITH VIC MIGNOGNA!!! I was sure people would be bidding higher, like in the range the first winner did (it was for charity too-a cancer research organization...but I guess I forgot most people at cons are teeny-boppers XD) So it was cool, it gave me a change to talk with Vic some more and he told me I might get lucky with my Beyond! series because FUNi is doing lots of stuff!

Kinda glad I didn't realize it at the time otherwise I really would have been spazzing...but the character I was dressed as and my character that I want Vic to voice... X3 ...lets just say his character is head over heals for my character--Kuwabara-style with pinky string of love and everything and my character could care less lol Ah I'll have to remember this when I get to the masqurade scene with for those two {which sorry to tell and keep you waiting, that scene will be at least 5 sagas in the future}

Also I ran into my cousin in the restroom XD so that was pretty cool since I last saw her last Thanksgiving, and I was hoping to meet Kyo Krazy and Silent Love but we didn't get to ToT and here's the saddest part~They saw me and I saw them but we didn't know we were each other! I even took a picture of them on Saturday when I was all Banzai-ed out, waiting for autographs (Tiffany Grant was there too and I wanted to see her and thank her for coming onto TheOtaku chat) decideing not to cosplay so I wore the FB clothes I bought and the neko-ears I made there. We'll just have to plan better next time!

~*~

Now after the convention I've been busy with casting and directing An Anime Christmas Carol {remember year 1 of An Anime Christmas? We're making a radioplay of it, and this time there's a pro College University Professor doing the mixing and we'll have it out in December!}, catching up everywhere that I fell behind in while I was gone on all my vacations, and my one Texas friend has gotten me to start posting my stuff on DA, so after 4 years of inactivity, I revived my DeviantArt account. I even made some YYH emoticons this week that you can check out there...they'll be in my most recent deviations box for the rest of this week, they're not the best but I still think they're cute so I want them to stay on my main page for a while X3

Oh I also had a good writing streak AND heard back from my editors, so I have another episode of YYHB! ^_^ BUT first, I'm gonna share pictures!

Pretty believable aren't I?


'Family Photo' with Sonny "Maes Huges" Strait


My friends and I with Vic


See! I gotta dance with him!


Rose and Kurama fighting over the Rose Whip!


YuYu Hakusho PhotoShoot!


Female Kuramas all around the masqurade!

(Yes for the masqurade, the Kurama cosplayer claimed she was a girl version of Kurama ^^)

I found another Yusuke and a Stud Muffin Form Koenma the next day when the rest of us were dressed differently


I got a blue wig so before Halloween I did a Botan for a trunk-or-treat. Someone recognized my character <3 yay! After I had to photoshop~


My Rose outfit photoshoot before Banzai


Day of Halloween I took my sister trick or treating and threw on the wig, carried my Rose Whip, and wore a Renaissance dress so where I was a Spoiler at the con, I was a Filler (you know those extra sketches in manga) for Halloween. For AKon, I joked with my friend we should go as an army of Mary Sues XD

I guess you guys are special enough for me to show my emoticons off here! ^^


Plus a stamp I made at my friend's request, feel free to take and spread around ^^


Now the long awaited moment of more story! {if I haven't overloaded you yet XD}

YYH Beyond: Episode 16: BETRAYAL
{Previously: Previously Kurama was greeted with a bullet to the chest in which Midori sacrificed her health to heal. Summoned by mysterious notes, the gang soon gathered at Kurama’s home to find a new threat to the world. They set out for the Foliage Fortress in attempts to divert this threat and were ambushed by none other than the kids of the first spirit detective. Joining forces, they enter the fortress together but what awaits them and why were they forewarned of this impending danger?

[Kaisei and Fubuki lead Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei through hallways composed of plants. Occasionally hands extend to push aside protruding limbs.] Kaisei: Let’s see, we should make a right here. [The group rounds the corner.] Yusuke: [muttering] Hey Hiei, do you think Kurama is keeping close by, or scouting up ahead to make sure these brats don’t steer us the wrong way? Hiei: It is hard to tell while his presence is masked. Judging the correct way is also hard since this labyrinth is alive. [A vine makes a rattling noise as it rises up and over Kuwabara’s shoulder. Kuwabara looks over at it and his face turns blue.] Kuwabara: [gulp] Oh, geeze! This place is creepy! [Kuwabara rips the vine off and stomps on it. The vine slithers back to its root and reattaches itself. A bunch of vines also start rattling and coming away from the wall towards the gang.] Fubuki: You better hurry up guys or we’ll leave you behind! Hiei: [to Kuwabara] Keep going, don’t let them distract you. [Yusuke and Hiei pass Kuwabara. Eyeing the rattling vines, Kuwabara bypasses the bunch. The vines slither along the walls and ground, following the group.] Kuwabara: Yeah, easy for you to say. I bet if we had a torch, these demon plants would open a path right to the center for us. [falling] Ack! [Yusuke and Hiei turn to face Kuwabara.] Yusuke: Wow, Kuwabara. Getting so old you forget how to walk? Kuwabara: No, I was tripped! Yusuke: [sarcastic] Yeah, sure. Hiei: If you’re going to make up an excuse, make it a good one. [Hiei and Yusuke keep walking. Kuwabara looks back to find a vine wrapped around his ankle. Another vine slithers by to wind up Yusuke’s leg, causing him to fall as well.] Yusuke: [falling] Hey-AH! [Yusuke rises to his knees. The rattling noise increases as more vines emerge to wind themselves around Kuwabara and tie him to the floor. More drag Yusuke towards a wall. Some vines from the opposing wall fight their way around Hiei. All three grunt as they struggle to get out of the tangled plants.] Kaisei: [calling] Hurry up! We’re not waiting for you any longer! Fubuki: [calling back] Seriously, you old geezers are so slow! Yusuke: Stupid kiddie brats! We’re not old! Just [struggling] tied up at the moment. * * * [The gang’s struggling can be seen on a screen in Koenma’s office.] Koenma: [thoughtfully] Old geezer? [pleasantly] Ha, take that Yusuke! Serves you right for all the times you called me a toddler! George: Uh, sir? Shouldn’t you be more worried about the vines? Koenma: The vines aren’t the ones being called names. George: But they’re trapping the guys. Koenma: Take a chill pill, Ogre. You should know by now that something simple like that won’t keep our boys down. [George looks down to see Koenma’s feet knocking nervously under his desk.] George: [sarcastically] You’re confidence is reassuring, sir. * * * [The vines continually wrap around Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei as they struggle to break free.] Yusuke: What is with these vines? Every one I tear out, ten more take its place! Kuwabara: Perhaps it is because we’re struggling? If we relax, maybe they’ll stop. Hiei: Just give up and let them choke us to death? I’ll pass. Kuwabara: I’m serious guys! It’s like a Chinese finger trap puzzle. The more you struggle to get out the more of a strain you put on yourself. Naturally one defends when attacked. So intruders will be caught, while the person knowing the secret can easily get out. Hiei: And what makes you so sure these weeds are one of those puzzles? Kuwabara: I got a feeling, okay? Trust me. Yusuke: Sure, Kuwabara, you first. If the plants don’t eat you alive, we’ll know it works. Kuwabara: Why do I hafta be the guinea pig? Yusuke: ‘Cause it’s your idea! Kuwabara: We should do it together as a team. Your movements are tensing up the vines over here! Yusuke: Well I’m sorry. I can’t seem to relax when my personal space is being invaded by hissing vines that are trying to choke me! Kuwabara: Just take a deep breath. If that doesn’t work, I’ll sing a lullaby. Hiei: For sanity’s sake, don’t. [Kuwabara stops struggling, takes a deep breath, and closes his eyes. Yusuke and Hiei clench their mouths as they refrain from fighting against the vines. More vines wrap around them, pulling each closer to the wall or floor that the vines are pulling from. Kuwabara exhales calmly as the vines pull him through the floor.] Yusuke: KUWABARA! [Kuwabara disappears as the vines on the ground stop moving.] Hiei: The fool is gone. [Yusuke and Hiei resume their attempts to push the vines back. Yusuke begins to power up, using his energy to push them back, but the vines pull him through the wall and Hiei through the opposing wall. The hallway is still.] * * * [Koenma and George blankly stare at the scene shown on the screen.] George: I thought you said our boys could handle it. Koenma: [sweating] Well, they could have. They must not have used their resources properly. George: Why didn’t the detectives go back and save them? Koenma: Their prudent desire to not be slowed down blinded them to the danger the others were in. George: Should we check on them? Maybe they don’t realize the others are no longer following? Koenma: If silence doesn’t tip them off first. Oh, well, I guess they’re on their own now. [Koenma searches for his remote and pulls it out. He pushes a button. The screen goes blank.] George: But if someone experienced like Yusuke didn’t make it through, how can you expect them to? Koenma: We’ll just have to trust them. [looks at screen, pushes button again] Come in! [pushes the button again hard] I said come in! [continuously pushing the button] Come in! Come in! Come in! Come in! Come in! George: Uh, Koenma sir, what are you doing? Koenma: [irate] I can’t get a lock on the detectives! George: Do you think that could be because of whatever is covering up that mysterious power is now covering them up too? Koenma: That’s nonsense! Power and screening are two different things. A spiritual storm must be interfering with the reception! I knew we should have switched to digital. George: Maybe we should check other stations to see if they’re coming in? Koenma: [brooding] Hm… * * * [Kaisei and Fubuki continue up the path in the plant-filled labyrinth.] Kaisei: We’re almost there! Fubuki: We’re making pretty good time without those dummies slowing us down. Kaisei: We’ll have this case closed before those dummies even catch up! [The detectives laugh. A shadowy cloaked figure appears in front of them. They look at it seriously.] Cloaked Figure: I see you made it past the rattlesnake vines. How unfortunate for you. * * * COMMERCIAL BREAK * * * [Kuwabara falls into a room filled with vegetation.] Kuwabara: Ow. Eh. Well, I’m still alive. [looks around, calling out] Hey guys, are you around? [no answer; starts walking] Told them that the bad guy probably wanted to split us up…[passes some demon berries growing on a wall and his tummy grumbles] Oh, man! I haven’t eaten since breakfast! I bet Kurama would know if this stuff is edible for humans. [keeps walking] After all, there are some pretty dangerous plants out there. I bet all these demon ones are ten times worse! [bends over a bush in the middle of the path] Leaves of three, let it be! I should stay away from that stuff. [sees berries that resemble small grapes nearby and tummy lets out a loud grumble, shouts] I am so hungry! [Some bushes rustle to the side. Kuwabara turns his head and catches some movement.] Kuwabara: Huh? Hey, is that you Kurama? I mean, I’m glad to have someone else around, but you know I can see you, right? [Kurama comes out of the bushes and walks up to Kuwabara.] Kurama: Oh, sorry. I suppose I was distracted. Kuwabara: Really? By what? Kurama: Nothing of real consequence. I couldn’t help but overhear you talking to yourself; if you’re hungry, I know of some human safe food nearby. Come this way. [Kurama leads Kuwabara around plants.] Kuwabara: Oh good, you’re a lifesaver! After I settle my stomach, we can focus on regrouping. Kurama: An excellent idea. Kuwabara: And then we’ll find our way to the center of this. Kurama: That should be the easy task. Kuwabara: Really? You mean you figured out how to navigate through here? Kurama: Naturally. The trick is simple once you realize it. Kuwabara: Awesome! We’ll be home in time for dinner! [Kurama stops. Kuwabara also stops. Kurama waves a hand towards some vegetation at their feet.] Kurama: Here we are. Kuwabara: Sweet! [looks down] Uh, what is it? Kurama: Kohlrabi. It is a human hybrid vegetable, kind of like a cabbage. The stem is edible, and it’s high in vitamin C. Kuwabara: Nutritious, huh? I hope it tastes just as good. Good thing I ran into you. [Kuwabara bends down to pick the kohlrabi. Kurama’s eyes twinkle and giant leaves grow and wrap up Kuwabara.] Kuwabara: HEY, WHAT GIVES? Kurama! Get me out of this! [Kurama chuckles and brings a closed hand out of his pocket.] Kurama: I’m sorry, it may be easier if you were unconscious from this point out; but don’t worry. I’ll get you to the center where you want to be. And the others should join you shortly. [Kurama opens his hand and blows pollen towards Kuwabara. Kuwabara starts to look sleepy.] Kuwabara: What…are you…do-… [Kuwabara blinks his eyes then slowly closes them as the scene blurs and fades out.] * * * [The shadowy cloaked figure that confronted Kaisei and Fubuki travels down an earthy corridor. Kaisei and Fubuki are tied up, swinging on either side from the cords supported around the cloaked figure’s shoulders. The figure enters a dark stony room, and another cloaked figure turns to acknowledge the arrival.] Cloaked Figure: Master, I caught these two children prowling around the fortress. Cloaked Master: [deep feminine voice] Such a shame. Cloaked Figure: What shall I do with them? Kaisei: Excuse me! Don’t talk about us like we’re not here! You should let us go and then we’ll show you who’s boss around here! Fubuki: Yeah! You wouldn’t have caught us if we knew about that sleazy trick of yours! Cloaked Master: Tsk, tsk, tsk. Ignorant children. Kaisei: This is your only warning. Stop your mischief and let us go, or face the consequences! Cloaked Master: Pity. [addressing the detectives] You two weren’t supposed to be here. Kaisei: Wha- Cloaked Master: This party was by invitation only. [addressing the cloaked figure] Oh well, M7, I guess we’ll have to make arrangements. Set them in the corner. M7: Yes, master. [The Cloaked Master raises her right hand towards the corner; One finger bears an emerald ring that has a glowing, rose-shaped ruby attached. M7 walks over, the cords around his shoulders drop Kaisei and Fubuki, and then he steps back. The Cloaked Master flicks her hand up, and bamboo chutes shoot from the ground to cage the detectives.] Cloaked Master: I’ll use resources here to deal with these two. Now go to the canyon; we’ve already lost enough time as it is. M7: Yes master. Cloaked Master: I hope we don’t have any more surprise visitors. * * * [Koenma sits back in his office chair with his hands folded across his stomach.] Koenma: [sighing] Ayame, has the analysis come back yet about that energy? [Ayame appears through the wall, carrying a clipboard of data sheets.] Ayame: None yet, sir. All the possibilities of it being a threat come out as negative when run in the scenarios. Koenma: So this must be a new form of energy that is being stored and hidden. Ayame: There are still some more tests to run. Koenma: Well, keep it going and try to figure out what it is. We can’t counter it if we don’t know at least that much! Ayame: Yes, sir. [Ayame bows and exits through the wall.] Koenma: [calling out] And get someone to check on the viewer’s reception. What am I suppose to do about this if I can’t see what’s going on? George: Perhaps all the paperwork that has been piling up? Koenma: How can you think of that mundane stuff at a time like this?! If we don’t get this crisis solved, we’ll have paperwork to keep us busy for the next forty thousand years! George: Whoa! Really that much? Koenma: That’s what I said. George: This is really serious. Koenma: Of course it is! Now go check on the antenna! * * * [The Cloaked Master has her hands raised to the corner where the detectives were placed, which now has plants weaved into a tight surface around the area. Kurama enters, dragging a rolled up Kuwabara.] Kurama: I have one of them. [The Cloaked Master waves her right hand as the ruby rose of her ring glows.] Cloaked Master: About time plans started falling into place. Hook him up to the Energy Extractor and set it to maximum. His energy should make a useful contribution to our Death Beam. [Kurama crosses with Kuwabara, but stops while passing the Cloaked Master.] Kurama: [whispers] Seeing me didn’t surprise him, master. Cloaked Figure: Is that so? That can only mean one thing. He will certainly cause a problem for us. No matter, we must work harder. For now only time will be on our side. Kurama: Yes, master. [Kurama continues walking. The Cloaked Master turns, and Kurama stops.] Cloaked Master: Actually, have the Energy Extractor a few notches below maximum so we can keep this one alive for a bit. Kurama: As you say. [Kurama resumes walking. Freeze frame.] Narrator: Entered as a group, but now split apart. Divide and conquer works against our heroes as an ally has defected to the terrorist power. But by what motive does the foe operate, and who will prevail in the end? “Hey it’s Yusuke here. So doofus-brain fell for the oldest trick in the book; what are they teaching him at that university he’s going to? Well, while Kuwabara’s wasted, I’m in a wasteland of my own but at least I don’t have to hike it! And Kurama? What’s his deal? If you ever wondered what it would be like if the two of us fought: yeah, sit tight because next time you’ll get to find out. I mean, I’m curious too, but couldn’t he have picked a better time to try his skills against mine? Take away the time constraint, and we’d have a pretty sweet fight on our hands. So take advantage of this and tune in to see what happens next time on YuYu Hakusho Beyond!”

   I'm greatful for General Conference
True dat! I received some personal inspiration about what order to work on some shtuff {amvs for Banzaii, Botan lines for the Eizou dub, and then mixing the two radioplays done} and following such has already paid off! ^o^ {and that is just the tip of the iceberg!}

Yes it's been a while, still what have I not mentioned here that is of concern yet? Did I mention the 2nd episode of DBZ2 was out that I play Chi-Chi in? I'd do a lot of it different, but it also is quite captivating (as I've just finished recording for ep 3, so I got one up on ya) so if you're a Dragonball fan you may want to check that out.

I know I definently want to share this~ "This is my Idea" from Swan Princess I got to be Bromely in and it just came out, the nice thing about this is someone put thier comment to me in ALL CAPS in the midst of comments to all the cast about how could I be a girl. And also said my Bromley was too perfect for my own good ^^ so yay! I made a convincing male XD
~Thread and Cast~
~Listen~

I had a few cute experiences w/ my kitties, one I caught on camera, and I'm debating should I put it up on youtube or not XD

The ART CONTEST for YYHB! SAGA I has been decided and Judges so RESULTS ARE HERE

FINALLY~Heard back from all my editors on the begining to YYHB! SAGA II so I get to post that now! ^.^

YYH Beyond: Episode 15 : BECKONING OF THE FORTRESS

[Morning time at Kurama’s apartment. In the bedroom Midori is lying in bed and Kurama leans over her kiss her forehead.] Kurama: Now I’ve got plenty of fluids and some food right here if you need anything. Please promise you won’t sneak out of bed again today. It’s not healthy for you or the baby. Midori: Okay, dear, I won’t. Kurama: When the doctor prescribes bed rest you need to stay in bed and rest. Midori: I’ll be fine. Have a good day at work. Kurama: I will, hon. [Kurama makes his way to the front door grabbing his briefcase and overcoat. There is a knock at the door. Kurama opens the door to answer. A gun is fired.] * * * [Back in the bedroom, Midori hears a gunshot. She sits up, which causes her immense pain. She rolls onto the floor crawls out to the hallway, and braces herself against the wall as she heads to the living room step by step. Turning the corner to see the front door, she sees Kurama lying by the open door with a gunshot wound in his chest. She picks up the nearby phone and presses a speed dial button. She waits a short while for it to pick up.] Midori: Hello? Mr. Hatanaka? Yes…this is Midori. I’m afraid Suichi will be unable to come to work today…No, you don’t need to worry mother about it. [dial tone is heard] Hello? Shoot! [hangs up phone, picks it up and dials again] Yukina? ...This is Midori, can you come over quickly? Something just happened to Kurama, it’s an emergency! [drops phone and falls on the floor] Ow! Kurama: [eyes closed and teeth clenched] What are you doing? You need to stay in bed! [Midori starts to crawl over to Kurama.] Midori: How do you expect me to stay in bed after hearing a gun? Kurama: But your health… [Midori reaches Kurama and props up over him and positions her hands over the hole in his chest.] Midori: Don’t forget your own! Kurama: You didn’t need to call father. Midori: He’s your boss. Kurama: But now he is coming over, isn’t he? Midori: I would presume so. Kurama: He will be unable to understand that I can recover quickly and inform mother. Midori: We can explain to him. Kurama: I may have to erase his memory. Midori: That would be terrible, please don’t. Perhaps it is time to tell him the truth. Kurama: Then he’ll tell mother, and how do you think she’ll react? [A bullet emerges from Kurama’s wound.] Midori: Got it! Kurama: [covered in sweat] Thank you. Now go back to bed. I can handle it from here. Midori: Hold on…there is something wrapped around the bullet…[unwraps the paper] It’s a note and… [rubs finger on it and inspects finger] Oh no! [drops paper and ferociously casts healing spells on Kurama] This is amalgam polycarbonate; if any of it is absorbed in your bloodstream, it will kill you! Kurama: That would explain the onset of dizziness, but if you continue exerting yourself, you will die also! Midori: No…I must. You can’t die… * * * [Feet are running up apartment building stairs. The feet turn a corner on a landing and run down the hall. The feet stop in front of an open doorway. The camera shot backs up to show Mr. Hatanaka as the owner of the feet as he turns to see Midori healing Kurama on the ground inside the apartment.] Hatanaka: I got here as quick as I could, [sees the scene] OH NO! What happened? Have you called for help yet? Midori: [wearily] Yes, it’s on its way. [Yukina appears in the doorway. Midori sees her and passes out on top of Kurama.] Kurama: Midori? NO! * * * [Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei stand around in Kurama’s living room, Midori lies on a couch with Mr. Hatanaka sitting nearby. Yukina is working on healing Kurama on the floor. Yusuke is looking at a note.] Yusuke: [reading] To Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei—You are invited to front row seats for the end of the world. If you do not wish to meet the same fate as Kurama, you will come to the inscribed location of the Foliage Fortress and see if you can change your fate. Be prompt for time is short. Destruction begins ‘fore the new moon. Kuwabara: Is this some sort of sick joke? Yusuke: Well if it is, I’m not laughing. The world is at stake and they’re asking for us of all people to show up and kick their butts. Hiei: Yes. But why invite us? And why target Kurama? [Midori groans and tries to sit up.] Yusuke: Hey take it easy. [Midori relaxes with a sigh.] Midori: Sorry. I feel rude trying to talk to you lying down. [breaths] It seems the opponent sees your group as an obstacle for their objective. Apparently this foe has a plan to defeat everyone but Kurama. That’s why they stooped so low as a bullet. The poison powder his body absorbed would have killed him if I stayed in bed like I was supposed to. [Kurama forces himself to sit up with a grunt.] Kurama: Unless they knew you would go beyond your capacity in order to save me, meaning you are in more danger at the moment than I am. Yusuke: So Kurama, you got an old jealous girlfriend pulling the strings on this or something? Kurama: [shakes head] None this powerful. Midori: If that were the plan, it was easily thwarted by a working phone between the bedroom and the front door. Amalgam polycarbonate does not come by easily, much less to amateurs. Doesn’t the note emit a demon aura? Demons understand little about the power of the human heart and would consider me, being bedridden, not an obstacle. Besides Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei all discovered notes around the same time telling them to come here, which, judging by the wording, was probably after the anticipated time of your death. They will now consider you dead. So going with the others would be a great secret for our side. [A moment’s pause. Kurama tries to say something, but does not have a comeback.] Yusuke: I’d never thought I’d see the fox outfoxed! Kurama: [nervous light laugh] That is why I married her. Kuwabara: Well what are we waiting for? Let’s go kick some tail! Kurama: Thank you Yukina. I think I’ll be all right now. Yukina: You’re welcome. I’m glad I was able to help. [Kurama stands up. He walks over to Mr. Hatanaka and Midori while Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei head for the door. Sweating, Mr. Hatanaka is massaging his temples with a look of awe on his face.] Hatanaka: So the whole world is in danger? And you are able to help stop it? This is overwhelming; I can’t believe it! Kurama: I am sorry that you had to find out the way you did. I never told Mother in order to protect her. Hatanaka: I suppose [pause] that is understandable. Midori: Please, you won’t tell her, will you? Hatanaka: I don’t think she would believe me if I did. But what should I tell her? Kurama: Tell her I had to go out on a mission; perhaps an emergency business trip that only I could handle. Hatanaka: A decision like that might not bode well, considering Midori’s condition. Yusuke: [turning] Hey, don’t sweat it pops! I’m sure Kayko would be more than happy to keep an eye on Midori while we’re gone. Kurama: Thank you, Yusuke. [kneels in front of Midori] Forgive me for leaving. Assuredly I would rather not. Midori: [grunts] You know our child’s due date. Just don’t miss it. Kurama: Right, no coming back late this time. * * * [Koenma sits at his desk in Spirit World looking at a piece of paper.] Koenma: Hmm…This report is quite interesting. George: What does it say, sir? [Koenma jumps up and hits George on the head.] Koenma: That you’re big and stupid! [George rubs the fresh bump on his head.] George: Ow! That wasn’t very nice, Koenma sir. Koenma: Well it isn’t very nice of you to disrupt my thought process with your blubbering. If you must know, there is a strange spot of energy concentration in the Human World. It is well masked though, so humans and demons can’t sense it, except for brief moments when its cover wanes. [yelling over the intercom] Botan! Get in here! George: So is there something special about this masked energy that we should be alarmed about? Koenma: I would like to say no. But the fact that it is being hidden probably means something is up. Besides, from the readings of when its cover was down, the energy was growing exponentially without even increasing size. Considering the concentration, if this keeps up, whatever is holding the energy will break and the outburst of energy could do some great damage. [The office doors slide open and Botan enters.] Botan: You called, Koenma sir? Koenma: Yes! I have a case I need you to take to the Spirit Detectives to look into! Botan: [saluting] Yes sir! * * * COMMERCIAL BREAK * * * [Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei, and Kurama are walking through a thick forest.] Yusuke: Wow, the four of us on a mission to save the world. Reminds you of old times doesn’t it? Hiei: Regrettably. Kuwabara: So Kurama, did you get a good look at who shot you? Kurama: Unfortunately no. The executor was concealed in a cloak. Yusuke: Well if they intended to kill you, why would they need to hide their identity? Kurama: To avoid being identified by surrounding witnesses is one reason that comes to mind. Kuwabara: Whoever it was, I guess we’ll know soon enough and make them regret it! Hiei: Let’s hope your strength is as strong as your voice. Kuwabara: You’ll see half-pint! Later you’ll be glad I’m along because we’re going to need all the help we can get! And in case you didn’t see me in action back with the Zerka thing I’ll have you know I’ve gotten a lot stronger too! And I was holding back on those poor demons! Speaking of that, Hiei, where’s your little Puu Junior? Hiei: If you insist on comparing Ryone to Yusuke’s spirit beast, you should be asking him where HIS animal is. Kuwabara: You left him at Genkai’s compound? Or [laughing tease] did you leave him with your girlfriend? Hiei: You better shut your mouth before you shove your foot in it. [The group enters a small clearing. In front is a vine-covered archway with a towering plateau covered in vegetation rising behind it. Kurama places his hand near the roots of the vines. He closes his eyes for a moment then looks to the others.] Kurama: The Foliage Fortress may end up being a Maze Castle reprise. There is a primary plant along the whole way up the plateau forming a network, but there are also many demon varieties of plant mixed in. So it is hard to judge the correct path through. I judge, though, that where we need to be is in the center, about two-thirds of the way up. Yusuke: AH! Stupid maze! We don’t have time for this! Hiei: I am sure we could each hold our own if we were to split up. Kuwabara: Hang on. That’s probably just what the bad guy wants us to do. Kurama: He’s right. However with the time issue at hand, we have but little choice. Yusuke: Well, can’t you manipulate these plants into a straight path for us or something? Kurama: It is best I keep my presence masked from this point on. Hiei: Stripping us of that advantage is probably why you were targeted. Indeed, it has already benefited them more than enough. Kuwabara: [eyes narrow] And since they invited us, they are sure to know we are coming. Kurama: It is obvious they want us here rather than going naively about our lives, so the labyrinth should not have been constructed as too difficult. Yusuke: [shouts] We’re wasting precious time! We should at least start moving before the whole world is destroyed! [calm but stern] I say we split up and the first one to reach the fortress should make a big explosion so we can regroup. It’s not like we have the element of surprise on our side anyway. [Yusuke and Kuwabara start marching into the archway. Hiei looks at Kurama.] Hiei: Kurama. They must have been tracking all of us to orchestrate the timing of us finding our notes at a specific time. If they are still keeping tabs, they may already know you survived. Kurama: Then we’ll take the chance that they don’t know. Otherwise if Midori was correct that a silver bullet was the only way they could dispose of me, we should expect a frontal assault soon. [Overhanging tree branches rustle. The guys stop and look up. One set of rustling circles around them clockwise while the other goes counterclockwise. The branches are being jumped off of as quickly as being landed upon. The guys follow along the different movements as the two paths continue circling around.] Yusuke: You just had to say something, didn’t you Kurama? [To the side, a girl, age 14, somersaults out of the trees while from the other side a boy, age 15, emerges likewise. They cross and land in front of the guys. They pull their hands back gathering spirit energy into balls and are ready to fire.] Kids: TWIN DRAGON BLAST! Yusuke: Hey wait a minute! Ain’t you guys Kuroko’s kids? [Shocked, the kids unpower their energy blast.] Girl: You know our mom? Kuwabara: So you know these kiddie clowns Urameshi? Mind introducing them to the rest of us? Boy: No need for that! Girl: We can make our own introductions! [The camera spins around the children as they introduce themselves.] Boy: I am Kaisei Sanada! Girl: And I am Fubuki Sanada! Kaisei and Fubuki: And we’re… [pose, camera still shot] the Super Spirit Detectives! Yusuke: You both are the new Spirit Detectives? Wow, you two sure have grown. Last I saw you, you were still in diapers! Kaisei: No I wasn’t! Fubuki: Only at night! Yusuke: Okay, okay. It was a joke, geeze. So what brings you guys all the way out here? Kaisei: Koenma sent us. Fubuki: Duh! We’ve been Spirit Detectives for a while now. Kaisei: Got to save the world and all that. Kuwabara: I suppose times have been more peaceful lately. Kaisei: Hey! What’s that suppose to mean? Yusuke: That’s true. But that means old pacifier-breath is watching us right now. Oh well, I’m sure we could use the help. Hiei: And I thought I was done babysitting. * * * [Koenma is watching the scene from his office in Spirit World.] Koenma: Ooh, I don’t know if I should be repulsed that I have to put up with Yusuke’s abusive jokes again or relieved that the old team is looking into matters too. George: Overall, shouldn’t it be a good thing? They’ll be able to help handle that mysterious energy. And besides, Yusuke used to be a spirit detective so he could train the kids as they go through this mission. Koenma: Yes, having Yusuke help without him realizing it would be a bonus; but that is only if Kaisei and Fubuki listen to him. Those two have cocky, prideful attitudes that can rival even his. George: So remind me again why you chose both of them to be spirit detectives when you can’t stand their arrogance? Koenma: [thoughtful] I could not overlook the amazing skills that they inherited from their mother and they work extremely well as a team. George: Hm… Koenma: Grrr… [baby bawling] And they both were so determined to take Yusuke’s place after we fired him, [crying] I couldn’t refuse. George: Oh, is that how it is? Koenma: [firm] Yes. That’s how it is. [sips hot cocoa] * * * [Back by the entrance to the foliage fortress.] Yusuke: Okay, so everyone do your best and when you make it through, blow something up so we can regroup. Kaisei: You guys were seriously thinking about splitting up? Fubuki: WE don’t have a problem getting through! We can maneuver through places like this easily! Kaisei: Just follow us! Yusuke: [sarcastic grumble] Great. Then lead the way. Narrator: So spirit detectives old and new enter the mysterious Foliage Fortress. What lies in store to greet their anticipated arrival? “Hey it’s Kuwabara! So we had a bit of excitement but now we’re ready to show these jokers we mean business! We’ll make them regret inviting us to their party of doom…that is if they don’t make us regret it first. Whoa! Hey how did that happen? Maybe Midori was right that they had a plan to get rid of each of us. Or is this just a hoax to blind us to some awful truth? And who’s in charge of the shots being shown here? They’re making me look stupid! Find out about our invitations and why they chose us. Not to mention a couple of unexpected struggles next time on YYH Beyond!”
