Disclaimer: Me no own Yu Yu Hakusho or X-Men Evolution, I made this up for fun.
Chapter one
"Yusuke Urameshi, Gender: male. Age: 17. Mutant status: unknown. Location: Genkai Temple in Osaka, Japan." Cerebro's mechanical voice reports.
"Hiei Jaganshi, Gender: male. Age: Unknown. Mutant status: Unknown. Location: Genkai Temple in Osaka, Japan."
'Odd… Two new mutants discovered in the same vicinity?' Professor Charles Xavier thought. He was however, cut short of his thoughts as Cerebro discovered yet another new Mutant.
"Shuichi Minamino, Gender: male. Age: 18. Mutant status: Unknown. Location: Genkai Temple in Osaka, Japan."
'Strange. These boys may be worth checking out.' 'Storm, Logan,'
'Yes Charles?'
'Yeah Chuck?'
'Prep the Black Bird. We're taking a trip.'
'Where are we going now?' Logan asks.
'Japan.' Charles cut the telepathic link before his old friend had a chance to object, then wheeled himself out of Cerebro's room and down to the Hanger.
"Damn Koenma and his stupid missions." Yusuke Urameshi grumbles while forcing himself up the tall flight of stone steps, Kurama stepping lightly beside him. "He has the worst timming."
"Still mad about the slap Keiko gave you?" Kurama asks while suppressing a snicker.
"She slaps hard!" he protests while rubbing his left cheek "And it still hurts. But its not just her, you and Botan just had to give me a near Heart Attack. Do you WANT me to die again?"
"…Well it would be quieter if you were gone…"
"It. Was. Rhetorical." Yusuke hissed. Kurama just laughs.
"Relax, it was a joke."
Yusuke went back to his ranting about the assignment, "That Brat picks the wrong ass times to give me, us, ANOTHER damn case…"
"It must be important if he simply couldn't tell Botan what the case is, so she could relay the message." Kurama pointed out.
"I wouldn't doubt it if he lost another stupid artifact from his dad's vault." Yusuke says, completely ignoring his friend's statement.
"Yes it would be rather disappointing if someone, other than me and Hiei, broke in to steal a powerful artifact from the Vaults." Kurama said in a monotone as he steps lightly beside the Toushin. "If so, then I may have to find another challenge."
Yusuke looked at his friend curiously, "You sound more like Youko." Kurama turned his head slightly and grins menacingly.
"The Sickle moon is tomorrow. Youko is getting a little restless." He explains.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever… so where do you think pacifier breath's making us go this time."
"It's hard to say. Botan didn't give us much information."
~Flashback~
"Yusuke You JERK!"
*SLAP*
"OWCH! KEIKO! What was that for-" Keiko stomps away cutting his sentence short. "Hey, wait up!" He shouts, but she was already too far to hear. "What did I do this time?" He asks himself.
"Maybe you were not paying attention when she was talking to you." A voice says from behind, making the young punk jump almost out of his skin.
"Damn it Kurama… Has anyone ever told you not to sneak up on someone!" Yusuke half shouted.
Kurama let out a small chuckle, "Not if the person I sneak up on can sense me," He paused "And hello to you too, Yusuke."
Yusuke was ready to tell him off, but is quickly cut short.
"Yusuke, Kurama!" they hear a familiar voice shouting from the sky.
"Botan?" they said in unison as they look up to se her.
Botan, also known as the Grim Reaper, flies down riding side-saddle on her oar and coming to a short stop right in front of a panicking Yusuke "Hello boys," she says and hop's off her oar.
"DAMN IT BOTAN! First Kurama, now you! "Yusuke shouts and grasps his chest "Are you guys trying to give me a Heart Attack?"
She sweat-drops and turns to Kurama for an explanation, but he just waves her off. "Anyway, I'm here to inform you of your next assignment."
"What!"
Kurama sighs by his friend's action. "What is the mission this time?"
"I… Don't know," Yusuke and Kurama sweat drop "Koenma only told me to get you two and Hiei and have you three go to Genkai's by Noon."
"So were going on a blind mission?" Kurama asks. Yusuke snorts.
"No were going on a stupid mission with no information." Kurama sighs.
~End Flashback~
"Stupid Koenma." Yusuke Grumbles once more.
Now they have to waste time walking up the steps of Hell to meet the Junior God of Hell in order to get
His new Assignment to Hell… (I kind of sort of took this sentence from Kurome shiretsu's fic, I really liked it^_^)
As the two demons pass through the temple wards and up the last flight of steps, Kurama's nose instantly picked up some strange scents from the air and stiffens.
Yusuke sees this and asks "What is it."
He shakes his head, "It seems Genkai has some company." He lifts his head up a bit higher and slowly inhales.
As he is doing this Yusuke glances around to spot anything out of the ordinary. His eyes widen as he spots something in the clearing near the temple. "There are three, I smell musk, sweat, cologne (sp?) And… metal?" Yusuke turns to a confused Kurama. "I also smell a combination of Flowers, ran dew, and… Lightning?" 'I didn't even know lightning was a smell' he shakes his head. "This is puzzling."
"Well, maybe it's got something to do with that huge Jet I noticed over there." Yusuke points to the clearing."
Very puzzling indeed...
Moment's before ~
Japan, the most overly crowded, Hi-Tec, Polluted place there is, so it wasn't surprising to Storm as she viewed out the window of the Black Bird to see Buildings upon Buildings all over the area.
"WOW!"
What did surprise her was the vast range of ageing forest they were flying over.
Logan notices Storm's expression "Un-expecting?" She nods and he silently grunts, "Well it's not surprising. Japan is packed with ruthless and untamed terrain. This is why the cities as crowded as they are today."
"Oh." Is the only thing that came out of her mouth.
"We are here." Charles announces and Storm views out the window once more to find them landing near an Ancient temple/Shrine.
"…Charles, where exactly are we…?" she asks… but no answer came.
Logan exits the jet, closely followed by Charles and Storm, and begins to circle the shrine in hopes to find any sign of someone living here, find the boys, and get out of this country before the past catches up with him…
"Logan, Logan?"
"Huh? What?" Storm was trying to get his attention.
"There is a little girl waiting at the door, she's saying something but I don't understand her." She says.
Snapping out of his thoughts, Logan directs his attention to the Young woman, wearing a beautiful traditional style light blue Kimono and has hair the color of Teal (or Aqua, whichever you choose) with a crimson red Barrett (sp?) clipped to it, now standing before him. Her Skin seems almost as pale as Ice, and her Eyes…
…Red…?
~"Hello, my name is Yukina"~ She bows before him, Charles and Storm and snapped Logan from his thoughts… again. ~"Master Genkai is waiting your arrival, please follow me."~
Logan bows and apologizes to the young Ice Maiden then relays the message to his two companions. Entering the temple, Charles, Logan and Storm gasp while looking upon the ancient artifacts surrounding the inside of the building.
Not even Charles has this many ancient items in his facility (hmm… I wonder why ).
They reach an open doorway to find an old woman, with pale grey pink hair and an odd looking hat on her head, kneeling at a table with her eyes closed and drinking some tea.
"…Well don't just stand there," she opens her eyes. "Get in here and shut the door," She says in almost perfect English.
How did she…? Logan quickly apologized, ushered the other two in and quickly, but gently shut the door. Just because winter was over it doesn't mean it wasn't cold out. He took a seat next to the table with Storm following his example. This left three empty seats, and an empty space (which is quickly filled by Charles) next to and across from them.
~"Yukina you may go back to the kitchen."~
With a bow, Yukina exits the room.
Genkai turns her attention back to the three before her.
~"Now since you want my successor and his two friends, I need to know who I'm dealing with. Let's start with names… I'm Genkai…"~ she says with her raspy voice.
~"The names Logan, This is Ororo Monroe and Charles Xavier."~ He hand gestures to each person.
By this point Storm is so confused, but Logan quickly fills them in "… She also knows why were here."
"She knows?" Storm asks, clearly confused.
"Humph, I knew before you even got here kid."
"But how…?" Charles starts. He wanted answers, but for some reason he couldn't bring himself to ask.
Silence remained as minutes passed by, until, that is, everyone in the temple hears a shout. Genkai smirks and stands up, "It seems they are here." With that she walks out the door.
Charles and Storm turns to Logan for an explanation/translation. He looks at them, "Roughly, it sounded like 'Hey Grandma, guess who's back'."
"Grandma… She's related to one of them?" Logan just shrugs.
"Who knows, but I have a feeling we will find out soon."
Well there you go, this is my first fan fiction so please be gentle, kind and nice and please review… please... Black Shadow Tigress
