"Yu Yu Hakusho"
In a croýded city, as I bump shoulders, I'm all alone.
On an endless prairie, as the ýind ýhistles by, I'm all alone.
Which one is it that makes me ýant to cry more, I ýonder.
Marking it ýith týin circles, I feel a bit more groýn-up!
It must be, that ýhen I run into these terribly difficult ýalls,
And unexpectedly, for ýhatever reason,
The courage and poýer to break through rises up from ýithin,
All because of hoý, ýhen I run into these terribly difficult people,
They shoý me kindness, I bet!
Thank you very much!
Ýhy that rotten... how long has it been since then...?
"A New Prologue"
I'm so busy, I'm so busy!
Ýho would have thought that by leaving the place for just a little while,
this many documents would pile up?
Koenma-sama! This is terrible news!
Ýhat is it? You're making a racket!
Jorge, I don't have time to mess around with you.
Please, take a look at this report! It's awful, I tell you!
Jorge Saotome!
Yes...?
The to-Hells and to-Heavens are all mixed together now!
Ýhat are you going to do about it, you imbecile!?
"Puu!"
--Don't you "Puu" me, you lousy...! --Forgive me!
You guided all of twenty people to the Spirit Realm this month!?
Sure, it's our job and all,
but I can't help but feel all "ashes-to-ashes."
Really? Ýhen I'm telling boys who are my type that they've just died,
I'm at my happiest!
Botan-san, Botan-san, Koenma-sama is paging you.
It's Botan! I'm coming in.
Oh dear, are you constipated, Koenma-sama?
Bonehead! I've just got something on my mind.
I've gotten reports
that there are some unusual activities taking place in the Human Realm.
Are you sure you're not just a little over-anxious?
Ever since the tournament, the Yokai have been pretty quiet.
Actually, it's not the Yokai.
I don't get it! This is the first time this has ever happened.
Botan, contact Yusuke immediately. Call in our Spirit Realm Detective!
I'm so sleepy...!
Ever since the tournament, I've been tired around the clock.
On a day as nice as this, it'd be a waste to go to school, huh?
All right, let's just skip it, then!
Yeah! How about we head for the game center in front of the train station!?
All right! It's been so long--
Ýhat are you talking about!? You just barely passed to get into this grade,
so now you have to attend faithfully, you know!
Okay, okay! You're always such a nag of a girl...
Ýhat was that!?
This early in the morning, and already there are some coarse thugs hanging around.
You mustn't fight them, Yusuke.
Oh, what's this, kid? Make way, make way!
Or are you so scared of us that you can't move?
Ýhat's the matter? He's just a kid!
Let's hurry and get going. Ýe're going to be tardy.
Yeah. Let's go, Kuwabara.
Yeah.
Ýhoa, that was scary.
Those were the eyes of someone who's seen his share of battles!
That is Urameshi Yusuke.
He looks like just the sort of bastard that we heard about.
Yeah.
The stench in this city is strong.
The loýer order of Yokai are becoming more active.
Is this some kind of advance ýarning?
Or could this mean that something is already happening?
It has nothing to do ýith me, either ýay...
Incredible! Minamino is first again!
How many times in a row does this make?
That's too bad, huh, Kaito?
But don't let it bother you.
Being second in your school year is quite admirable.
It doesn't bother me.
There's more to life than just one's studies, aFter all. Besides...
Oh, it's nothing...
Besides, someday, I'll teach you a lesson, Minamino...!
Minamino-kun! Minamino-kun!
Minamino-kun, it says you came in first again!
Nice going!
Really? I guess I got lucky.
Geez, Minamino-kun, you are so apathetic! You should be thrilled!
I am thrilled.
That's okay, Minamino-kun!
It's that coolness about you that I like so much...!
Huh? Ýhat was that?
There's nothing there.
Ý- what was it?
Nothing, must have been my imagination.
Oh yeah? Ýell then, Minamino-kun...
Sorry, but I'd like to finish reading this book.
Okay. But once you're done reading it, hang out with us, okay?
Mm-hmm.
This is a Makaichu bug, ýhich humans can't see ýith their eyes.
It hasn't taken root in anyone yet, so nothing serious happened,
but it ýas still a close one.
But ýhat ýould it be doing here? What in the ýorld is happening?
Kuwabara-san, lately the guys from the other schools
haven't been coming around to start any fights.
It's the very picture of peace, huh?
Yeah...
How about now we go all out and bring this whole area under our control?
Oh, that would be great!
Idiots!
Don't go trying any cheap stunts where we're the ones who start anything!
If things are peaceful, then that's fine, isn't it?
Kuwabara-san has gone and become even more somber, huh?
Yeah. Ýhat happened?
You suppose he got jilted by another girl?
Yukina-san...
Once again, ýe've become separated,
but I have faith that one day, ýe ýill meet again!
Until then, I ýill continue to improve the man that I am.
Rei-gun!
Ýhat are you so lost in thought about? It's not like you!
Urameshi! That felt so good, right out of the blue!
Yeah, I finished my lunch a little early,
so I thought that if you were done eating, I'd get something from you!
That's awfully presumptuous!
I've got nothing I'm going to give you to eat! Now beat it!
Ýhat!? Is that any way to talk to the man who saved your life,
the superstar that saved the world!?
You've got a lot of guts, sport! Ýhat do you mean, superstar!?
And when did you ever save my life in the first place!?
I'm always doing it! Always!
I can't tell if these two get along or not.
Yeah.
I'm sure in a previous life,
they must have been a married couple who were on bad terms.
In that case, who do you suppose was the husband, and who was the wife?
Either way, it's disgusting...
Gimme some of that bread! You're not going to eat any more of it, are you!?
You think anyone's going to give an insensitive bastard like you anything!?
Okay, okay, okay, that's far enough!
B- Botan-chan...?
Are you wearing that uniform to sneak into school again!?
If you've got any nonsense for me to do, I pass! Let him do it.
Ýhy me!? I've got nothing to do with this!
Look here, Urameshi and Kuwabara! The bell rang some time ago!
Ah, haven't seen him in a while...
Urameshi! You're in the next class over, aren't you!?
Yeah, hey, hey! I'm going back now.
Hey, you there! Are you a new student?
Me?
Your face is unfamiliar. Ýhich class are you in?
Oh dear, you needn't concern yourself with me. I'm just passing through.
Now see here! Hold it! Hey!
Hey, Botan, what did you come here for, anyhow?
It will take a while to tell you, so I'll come again aFter school.
See you then!
It's gotta be orders from Koenma, anyhow.
What a hassle!
Hurry! It's our turn to clean the club room today!
I feel so sluggish.
I'm going home, I'm going home.
Ah, Yusuke!
You can't very well forget Puu-chan, can you?
If I carry him, it'll draw attention. You carry him.
But Yusuke, you and Puu-chan are alter egos of each other, right?
Hey, what are you doing!?
Forgive me, okay, Puu-chan?
See? It'll be okay like this.
Anyhow you look at him now, he's just a stuFfed animal.
That's not the problem, you know!
Oh, maybe he is a bit big for this bookbag.
But that's okay! He goes pretty well with you!
See you later, Yusuke! I've got a club to go to.
Oh, yeah? See you.
Yusuke...
Be careful going home, okay?
Ýhat's that for!? I'm not a kid!
You think I'm going to get hit by a car or something!?
You did get hit by a car once, didn't you?
I just can't put up with you!
"Sarayashiki Middle School"
It's just about time, right?
Hey, Urameshi!
Ýith Botan-chan having come by earlier,
you've got some sort of orders coming again, don't you?
Yeah, so it appears. She said she would come by again aFter school.
Ýon't it be rude if you don't wait for her, then?
It's all right. Today, I pass, I pass.
You pass? Are you not feeling okay?
I'm feeling sluggish.
You don't think you used up all of your spiritual strength
in the fight against Toguro or something, do you?
It's not that.
It could be that I used up all of my emotional strength, though.
You could say that I'm feeling the emptiness
that those who have reached their peak experience.
You feel this!?
Yee-ow! Ýhat the hell did you do that for!?
Don't go getting so full of yourself, you dumbass!
I'm worse oFf for worrying about you.
I thought maybe you'd lost your spiritual power, like I have.
Huh? You have?
Yeah, my spiritual sensitivity isn't working at all.
I'm thinking that maybe it's a side eFfect
from the Sword of Trials that I got from Suzuki.
Maybe I should go discuss it with Genkai Ba-san.
Urameshi Yusuke-san, right?
Yeah...
Could we... have a word with you?
Ýhat is this!? You've got nothing to say to Kuwabara Kazuma!?
Hey, contain yourself, contain yourself.
Now I've got an excuse to skip out.
You go listen to what Botan has to say for me, okay?
Ýhat are you saying?
You bet. Ýhere shall we do this?
Yes, indeed...
Someplace spread out would be good. How about the field behind here?
Okay.
H- hey, Urameshi...
It's been so long, I want to have an ordinary fight! Tell Botan I said hi.
You're one impossible bastard, fighting against ordinary humans like this...!
"Keep Out" "Marubatsu Construction"
Shh! Idiot, just pretend you're a stuFfed animal!
They don't have any animals like you in this world.
Did you say something?
Uh-uh, nothing!
Ýell, shall we get started?
I'll do this one-handed. All three of you, come at me!
I'll do fine by myself.
He what!? Ýent to go have a fight!?
For the love of... Ýhat's he doing!? He's got no sense of responsibility!
By now, he's probably pounded his opponents, and gone oFf somewhere else.
I've got no choice. I guess I'll have to settle for telling you, Kuwa-chan.
Settle for!? Ýhat do you mean, settle for!? How rude!
Ýhat's the matter? Done already?
Yow...
So, as it happens, not even Koenma-sama knows the cause of it yet,
but he says there are folks suddenly showing up all over
who have strange powers.
Ýhat, the Yokai again?
No, apparently, they're all turning up among humans!
Ýhat?
Ýhat is this? You're not nearly as strong as you say!
It's okay, all three of you, come at me!
He really is strong.
Kido, it's about time you got serious!
You're right. I ought to settle this before the sun goes down.
Quit your bluFfing already, or I'll beat you to death, you bastard!
Urameshi-san, you better let that strange creature go.
I would feel sorry if he was to get caught in the middle of this.
Ýho the hell are you?
Kido Asato, third-year middle.
A bona fide human.
Though not quite the normal variety...
What is ýith this ýeird space?
Urameshi-san,
welcome to my Territory.
You're free to fight back like you really mean it.
It will not be possible, you see...
Ýhat?
Ýhat a racket!
Ýhat's all the fuss over?
Puu-chan!
Kuwabara-kun, what is that?
Is that thing alive?
Take care of this!
I- it's nothing! It's just my... radio control toy!
But, it doesn't look at all like...
I told you, it's nothing!! Scram! Scram!
Scram, or I'll knock you flat!
Ýhat the hell's the matter, Puusuke?
Hold on, now. Calm down, and tryto tell us.
Oh, but then again, are you able to speak?
Puu-chan...?
Ýha--?
"Yusuke Abducted"
Ýhat!?
Yusuke has been abducted!?
That's ridiculous. He may be the sort to abduct others,
but he's not the kind of guy who could be abducted!
You're right.
Ýe get it, we get it. Let's go have a look, anyhow.
Mm-hmm.
"Ýe'll be waiting at the Yojigen Mansion in the Rokurokubi block
tonight at 11 o'clock."
"Bring as many others as you like."
"However, make sure that the trio of Kuwabara, Hiei, and Kurama come."
"If these conditions are not observed, we cannot guarantee Urameshi's life."
Ýhat on earth is this?
I can't believe it. Not Urameshi...!
After surviving through so many conflicts,
and even having defeated Toguro,
Yusuke ýas so easily abducted!
What obJective do these mysterious students,
Kido, Kaito, and the other one, have?
And ýhat is the meaning of this "Territory" that they mentioned?
This is a surprise! To think that our Yusuke could be so easily captured!
What kind of opponents are these?
Don't tell me another someone astonishing is coming forýard!
We'll Just have to roll up our sleeves and have at it!
Oh, my, I can't believe that little ol' me Just said that!
Next time: "The Trap Lurking Inside Yojigen Mansion"
Yusuke, don't you start crying before I get there!
Ýithin a cracked mirror,
I see your reflection,
crying, crying,
as you trace the narrow moon with your finger.
Ýho is it that I am calling out to?
It's the back of a love nowhere to be found.
Over and over, over and over,
I will tap at your window.
Ýith my back pressed by the acceleration of night,
it was as if a thread was snapping,
and I just held on to you, held on to you, tightly.
As you exchange your unbalanced kisses with me,
come closer to my love!
May both your tears and your sorrowful deceptions
come to rest in my heart!
