Yusuke sat outside, starring at the enemy demons, a silver bracelet on his wrist, he had a blue jacket, as well as a helmet. Kuwabara was at his side, his hair down, like his own, his face dirty. Hiei was behind him, bandaging his arm. He'd thrown his Helmet away. Not even bothering with it. Kurama was on Yusuke's other side, and he had his helmet on like Yusuke and Kuwabara.
Yusuke glanced around. Spread out around him were miles and miles, of demons, and humans. Female and male, young and old. And every one of them, were Reikai. They all had the silver bracelets on, and the blue jackets.
Behind them were tents, which were for the wounded, and they were being protected by a shield, only letting those who were Reikai in. Inside the shield were also cots, for those who weren't on the verge of death, and could handle being outside. If you were an impostor, the shield would kill you. Healers were in that tent taking care of every wounded and sick. Also in the tent was a portal, for the dead. the body was placed inside and a Shinigami would come and fly the body back, so that they could be returned to the spirit world.
Also ahead of Yusuke were trenches, holes which had been dug, craters from blasts, and of course the enemy demons. The demons had banded together to try to break in and destroy spirit world. And thousands of Reikai had shown up, to protect the spirit world.
This was a war.
Yusuke closed his eyes remembering the day he and the others were called to Koenma's office....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~FLASHBACK~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei and Kurama watched as Koenma, in teenage form, stood stiffly in front of them. "A tribe of demons have declared war against the spirit world. They even have collected other demons to help them. I have called all the Rekai, people and demons alike, who will help. I need your help as well. Please...If they break in, they will eat the souls that come here. They will take over, and Earth...there will be nothing left if they succeed in taking over."
The four starred, shocked. Hiei glared angrily, "So you want us to declare war?! THAT'S FOOLISH!" Hiei snarled at him. Koenma looked at him with such a weary face, that the aggression and tension, slowly eased out of Hiei's face.
"I'm dying."
The group gasped and Yusuke took a step forward. "What?!" Koenma sunk wearily into his seat, "They've weakened me, I have killed many demon's and I have nothing else to give...I used all my powers that was given to me...I used the powers that I am only supposed to use to help guide spirits up, I have drained my self of my energy, the source I need to live...and now I'm dying...I can't fight...I have to recuperate for 60 days at least, in a coma like state...or...I'll die, and the demons will take over."
The group starred at him, and Kurama spoke, "What do you want us to do?" Koenma got up, swaying on his feet, and lead them to another room. "These are what you'll be wearing." He held up a navy blue jacket, and a helmet. "We have demon's on our side as well, and we need to recognize each other so we don't kill one another. These jackets can't be destroyed, they can only be taken off. Be careful, where them at all times...unless you want to be mistaken for an enemy." He placed it down, "And these are or weapons." He held out four silver bracelets.
"I'm not into jewelry." Hiei snorted.
"This is not jewelry. It feeds you spirit energy so you never run out. And in Hiei's and Kurama's case it will give you energy to launch out. This is very valuable. I'm not supposed to give theses out. My own Dad, will send me away if he finds out." Koenma handed them the things which they put on.
"Whoa!" Kuwabara exclaimed, as the bracelet tightened. "What the-?!" "Don't worry about it. Its supposed to do that so it doesn't fall off." Koenma swayed again, and this time fell on his knees.
Yusuke went up to him trying to help him up, but Koenma waving him off. "You really screwed yourself up. Why did you do it?" Koenma looked at him tiredly. "Because this was too great a mission for all of you. But maybe now it'll be okay, I wiped out as many as I could...Go on Yusuke. Boeton will take you to the battle field."
They left Koenma looking back. He still hadn't gotten up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~end of flashback~~~~~~~~~~
Yusuke was brought out of his thoughts when he was pushed aside as a large blast blew up the spot where he was. Kuwabara held his burned hand painfully. "Urameshi be careful." He said wincing with pain, and holding his hand. Yusuke crawled over to him, and looked at the hand. "Oh Kuwabara...I'm sorry." "No worries."
Kurama handed some leaves to Yusuke. "Scrub his hand with this." Yusuke obeyed and Kuwabara's burn began to disappear. "Thanks Kurama." Kuwabara said smiling. Kurama smiled back and returned to the trench, holding out his palm and fired a pinkish red blast.
Hiei was firing away black blasts, smirking. He liked being able to use energy without using Dragon of The Darkness Flame. Yusuke and Kuwabara crawled and fired over the trench. Kuwabara could force out his sword out his hand, and launch it like an arrow at the demons. Yusuke's spirit Gun was larger, and more powerful than ever.
"Look out!" Hiei grabbed Kurama and the ground blew up. A few people weren't so lucky. A human girl lay dead on the ground, with her was a young man. He shook his head bleeding severely, and cried out. "Marie! Marie! " He went over to her and shook her. "Don't you dare be dead! We're best friend's, and you promised not to die! We always joked we'd die about laughing our heads off! Come back Marie, lets do that, MARIE!" The boy collapsed on top of her sobbing.
Yusuke felt his heart split out for him. He crawled over to the teen. "Hey, we got to get you bandaged up...Don't worry when Koenma's power returns she'll be back. " The teen was crying, and looked as if he had not heard him. Yusuke picked up the dead girl, and grabbed the boy by his elbow.
Yusuke dragged them both to the tent. The young teen was placed down, as they worked on his bleeding side. He held the girl and watched the boy as he passed out. Yusuke looked down and said very softly, "Hi Marie." The girl had long black hair which was fastened in a braid. Her eyes were open and they were a light blue. He put his hand over her eyelids, and closed them.
He went to the portal his heart heavy, and placed her inside. He waited for a Shinigami to show up, and a young man appeared. Like Boeton he had blue hair. He took the girl away, and Yusuke was left standing there.
"I don't want to die here." He murmured.
And with that made his way slowly back to the trench where his friends were giving it all. And as he passed the young teen, he saw a Healer shake her head. And they carried the boy to the portal.

Dun Dun Dun! So...I have begun another one. This in my humble opinion rox! Or at least it has been great to write! Okay...
PREVIEW FOR NEXT CHAPTER: Hiei gets mothered by a Healer, and Kuwabara does something noble and brave, but stupid as well...see ya next time!
