Hey everyone!
Well...if you couldn't tell, I was taking my good time with this one, since I didn't want this story to end, but I couldn't not post this...I'm not evil (sweat drops) I would like to thank all of those who reviewed and even took time to read this story. It meant a lot to me. Well (sniffs) as much as I hate to say this, here is the last chapter to this story!
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho or Beauty and the Beast, and I'm not making a profit from either of these stories being in this story.
ENJOY!
Chapter 9: Happily Everafter?
"I knew it, I knew it was foolish to get our hopes up." Koenma said with a sigh.
"Maybe it would have been better if he had never come at all." Kurama said, a sigh escaping his lips as well.
They heard the footstool running into the room, barking. They glanced at each other, hope in their eyes as they rushed to the window, expecting to see Kuwabara return.
"Could it be?" Kurama said, climbing to the window.
"Is it him?" asked Botan, waiting excitedly at the bottom of the window.
"Sacre bleu, invaders!" shouted Kurama watching as the mob from the village came up the path.
Koenma and Botan both climbed up to the window and were shocked to see that what Kurama said was true.
"Encroachers!" gasped Koenma.
"And they have the mirror!" said Botan, noticing Sensui holding the mirror.
Koenma turned and faced Botan.
"Warn Yusuke." Koenma said before turning to the rest of the objects; his wife running off to inform Yusuke. "If it's a fight they want, we'll be ready for them. Who's with me!" Koenma said.
At that moment, the door is slammed by the mob. The objects rush out of the room, leaving Koenma behind; rushing to keep out the interuders.
Outside the mob is using a huge log to break down the door.
"Take whatever booty you can find, but remember, the beast is mine!" shouted Sensui.
In Yusuke's lair, Botan is briefing him about what is happening.
"Pardon me, master." She said.
"Leave me alone." Sighed Yusuke.
"But Yusuke, the castle is under attack!" Botan shouted.
Outside the castle walls a chant could be heard.
"Kill the beast, kill the beast!"
The objects tried to block off the door, but it was being bashed by the mob.
"This isn't working!" shouted Kurama.
"Oh Kurama, we must do something!" shouted Keiko.
"Wait! I know!" shouted Kurama, an idea coming to mind.
Outside the mob continued to chant.
"Kill the beast, kill the beast!"
Botan looked at Yusuke worried.
"What should we do, Yusuke?" she asked.
"It doesn't matter now. Just let them come." Yusuke said with a sigh.
The mob succeeds in breaking in, and finds a grand entrance filled with
assorted pieces of furniture, teacups, candlesticks, featherdusters and clocks. They tiptoe in, and Itsuki picked up Kurama, not knowing.
"Now!" shouted Kurama.
All the objects spring into life, attacking their human enemies.
Outside of the Kuwabara residence, Bingo had the invention ready.
"Yes!" Bingo shouted in victory. "Here we go!" she said, aiming the axe to the door.
"Mother, stand back!" Kuwabara shouted.
Shizuru jumped back just as the invention crashes into the door, and a red cloud of smoke poofs out of the basement. Kuwabara, Shizuru, and Yukina emerge from the wreckage, finding Bingo swinging on a loose spring.
"You guys gotta try this thing." Bingo said.
Amongst the chaos, Sensui brakes away from the mob and starts to search for the beast.
Kuwabara, Yukina, Shizuru, Silver, and Bingo were meanwhile making their way to the castle.
Finally, the invaders are chased out and the objects celebrate their victory.
"And stay out!" shouted Koenma.
Kurama pulled Koenma over and kissed him once on each cheek. Koenma shook it off.
"Lucky my wife didn't see that." He mumbled.
However, not all of the invaders were chased away. Sensui found his way into Yusuke's lair. He raised his crossbow and took aim. Yusuke, hearing the tug of a string looked up and turned to Sensui. After looking at Sensui for a few moments, he looked back down in sadness again.
Sensui released the arrow and it strike Yusuke's shoulder. Yusuke screamed out in pain and stood up. Sensui rushed towards him and tackled Yusuke, sending them both flying out the window and onto the balcony, where it began to rain.
Sensui began to laugh, cornering Yusuke on the edge of the roof. Yusuke simply sat there in despair.
"Get up! Get up! What's the matter, Beast? Too kind and gentle to fight back?" Sensui mocked.
Yusuke looked down, ignoring him. Sensui walked into the foreground and broke off a piece of the roof. He was about to smash it on Yusuke's head when Kuwabara's voice drifted up.
Kuwabara stood on the bridge, yelling at Sensui, telling him to stop.
"No!" Kuwabara screamed.
Hearing Kuwabara's voice, seemed to give Yusuke new life.
"Kazuma."
"Sensui don't you dare you bastard!" shouted Kuwabara.
However Sensui paid no attention to his cries and swung his club down at Yusuke. However, Yusuke caught the weapon in his hand. Yusuke rose up and roared in Sensui's face.
Sensui was stunned for only a moment before he screamed, swinging his weapon at Yusuke. Yusuke dodged the attacks and took a hiding place among the gargoyles in the darkness.
Meanwhile, Kuwabara entered the castle.
"Let's go Silver!" shouted Kuwabara.
"Come on out and fight! Were you in love with him, beast? Did you honestly think he'd want you when he had someone like me?" Sensui said.
Yusuke couldn't take Sensui's crap any longer and emerged from the darkness, attacking Sensui.
"It's over, beast! Kazuma is mine!" growled Sensui.
However, Yusuke grabbed Sensui by the neck and picked him up, holding him over the edge of the roof. Sensui's eyes widened in fear as he saw his death in that dark abyss. He turned pleading eyes to Yusuke and begged for his life.
"Put me down. Put me down. Please, don't hurt me! I'll do anything! Anything!" Sensui begged.
Yusuke's anger slowly melts off his face and the look of compassion returned. He pulled Sensui back onto the roof.
"Get out!" Yusuke ordered, shoving Sensui to the ground.
Kuwabara looked over the balcony, that now over looked the two.
"Yusuke!" Kuwabara shouted, seeing Yusuke on the roof.
"Kazuma!" Yusuke shouted, happy that Kuwabara had come back to him.
Yusuke began to climb the tower until he reached the balcony. He hung over the side, face to fact to Kuwabara who's face turned a little red from the closeness.
"Kazuma? You came bck!" Yusuke said, climbing onto the balcony, looking down into Kuwabara's eyes.
They were lost in a passionate stare, looking into the other's eyes, however the moment was interrupted as Sensui snuck up behind Yusuke and stabbed him in the back. Yusuke roared in pain. Kuwabara gasped and tried to figure out what happened.
Sensui pulled his knife out and swung back for another shot when Yusuke started to fall, knocking Sensui off his balance. Kuwabara's eyes widened and he grabbed Yusuke and pulled him back, while Sensui fell off, falling into the darkness.
A cry of pain came from below.
"NO SENSUI! NO…no…I loved you…" Itsuki said, collapsing to his knees.
He sat there, sadness covering him. His eyes looked up into the rain, letting the droplet fall into his eyes. Itsuki stood up and walked towards the edge where Sensui had just fallen into. He closed his eyes.
"I will be with you, Sensui, forever." Itsuki said before falling into the dark abyss, neither Sensui nor Itsuki were ever heard from again.
Kuwabara helped Yusuke up onto the balcony. The injured Yusuke lied down on the floor. The objects came rushing out, but stayed out of sigh.
"You…you came back." Yusuke said, looking up into Kuwabara's eyes.
"Of course you idiot. I couldn't let them…I…oh this is all my fault. If I gotten here sooner." Kuwabara said, tears coming to his eyes.
"M-maybe it's better this way." Yusuke said.
"Don't talk like that. You'll be ok. We're together now. Everything's gonna be fine, you'll see." Kuwabara said, unable to keep back his tears.
"Its fine…at least I got to see you one…last…time." Yusuke said, his eyes slowly closing.
Kuwabara put Yusuke's paw up to his cheek. Yusuke held it there for a second. His paw went limp in Kuwabara's hand, his head falling back and his last breathe leaving his body. Kuwabara had tears in his eyes as he brought the paw to his mouth.
"No, NO! PLEASE! PLEASE! Please…don't leave me…I-I love you." Kuwabara cried, holding onto Yusuke's hand as she cried.
As Kuwabara confessed his feelings, the last petal fell off the rose. The objects looked down, Koenma putting his arm around his wife.
The rain continued to fall on the balcony, though through the rain fall there was a beam of light that fell. Soon another fell from the sky and another, all of the bright lights surrounding the fallen Yusuke.
Kuwabara finally notices and stopped crying for a second, though the tears were still in his eyes. He felt a weird vibe and backed away from Yusuke's body.
Everyone watched in awe as a fog began to enshroud Yusuke. The fog rose Yusuke into the air, magically and began to turn his body around. His body is suddenly enveloped in a cloud of light, and becomes wrapped in his cloak.
Underneath, Yusuke's body is shifting and forming. A fore paw comes out and the claws turn into fingers. A hind paw emerged and developed into a foot. Finally a wind blew across Yusuke's face and the fur melt away to reveal a young prince with lightly tan skinned and jet black hair that lay un gelled and un combed.
Slowly, the new form descended and is once again laid on the floor. The fog disappeared and Kuwabara reached out to touch him. He jerked his hand back, however, when the figure began to move.
Chocolate brown eyes open before the man sat up. The man stood up and looked at his hands. He turned to face Kuwabara, causing Kuwabara to look at the man suspiciously.
"Kazuma! It's me, Yusuke!" Yusuke said a smile on his lips.
Kazuma continued to look at him skeptically, however when he looked into those chocolate brown eyes, he instantly knew.
"It is you! Yusuke!" Kuwabara shouted, rushing towards Yusuke, who was now a bit shorter then himself, though that didn't stop Yusuke from taking Kuwabara into his arms and dipping him; planting a tender kiss on Kazuma's lips.
In the distance, fireworks exploded. The gloom that had once surrounded the castle disappeared, revealing a blue sky. The castle was transformed, the gargoyles changing into cherubs.
The objects hopped out to meet Yusuke and Kuwabara. One by one, they all transformed back to their original human forms.
Koenma was happy to be standing in his blue robes and blue hat. Standing next to him was his beautiful wife who wore a pink dress and her blue hair up in a pony tail, their daughter in between them laughing and wearing a pink dress like her mothers, but having brown hair like her father and brown eyes like him as well.
Kurama transformed, his green eyes filled with joy as his long red hair was back as well as his red uniform. Keiko transformed next to him, her long brown hair flowing near her butt and her brown eyes filled with joy. Hiei smirked from his spot, his red eyes looking at the two love birds. His black hair stood on end and had a white sunburst across the front. He wore a black uniform and armor, his katanna at his side.
"Kurama! Koenma! Oh Botan! Look at us!" Yusuke shouted, running up to them.
Kuwabara looked at Hiei.
"Are you sure they're all back to normal?" Kuwabara asked.
"Take a look in a mirror sometime and you won't find normal." Hiei snorted.
"Watch it shortty!" growled Kuwabara.
Before their fight could continue, the footstool running in and around Botan and Koenma and Bingo; slowly turning back into a dog.
"Mama! Mama!" Bingo shouted, realizing that they were back.
"My sweet Bingo!" Botan said, picking up her child and hugging her.
Koenma embraced his wife and his daughter, happy for the first time in a long while.
"It is a miracle!" said Kurama in relief.
Yusuke turned back to Kuwabara and picked him up, swinging him around.
Soon they are all in the ballroom, Yusuke and Kuwabara dancing on the floor.
"Ah, l'amour." Kurama said to Keiko, who brushed him on the chin with the featherduster that was in her hand.
"Heh heh!" Kurama laughed.
He was about to chase after Keiko when Koenma stopped him.
"Well, Kurama, old friend. Shall we let bygones be bygones?" Koenma asked, knowing that he wasn't too nice to Kurama when they were cursed.
"Of course, mon ami. I told you he would break the spell." Kurama said with a smile.
"I beg your pardon, old friend, but I believe I told you." Koenma said.
"No. I told you." Kurama said.
"You most certainly did not, you pompous parrafin-headed pea-brain!" growled Koenma, getting into Kurama's face.
Kurama gave Koenma a cold look.
"En garde, you overgrown pocket watch!" Kurama said, taking off his glove and slapped Koenma across the face with it.
This caused Koenma to roll up his sleves and the two began to fight.
Shizuru and Yukina are standing with Botan and Bingo, both Yukina and Shizuru crying.
"Are they gonna live happily ever after, mama?" Bingo asked.
"Of course, my dear. Of course." Botan said, hugging her daughter.
Bingo looked happy for a moment, but then was puzzled.
"Do I still have to sleep in the cupboard?" Bingo asked, causing both Shizuru and Yukina to laugh.
Botan hugged her child more and laughed.
And it was on this day that Kazuma Kuwabara found love, and learned how to love a beast.
