"Yu Yu Hakusho"
In a crowded city, as I bump shoulders, I'm all alone.
On an endless prairie, as the wind whistles by, I'm all alone.
Which one is it that makes me want to cry more, I wonder.
Marking it with twin circles, I feel a bit more grown-up!
It must be, that when I run into these terribly difficult walls,
And unexpectedly, for whatever reason,
The courage and power to break through rises up from within,
All because of how, when I run into these terribly difficult people,
They show me kindness, I bet!
Thank you very much!
Having died once, Urameshi Yusuke was resurrected as a Spirit Tealm Detective.
Further, he has defeated the notorious Yokai Tando and Suzaku,
and has become the successor to the secrets of the Teikohado-ken.
Now that Yusuke has grown a great deal,
new marching orders have been handed down from Koenma.
"A Sorrowful Young Beauty- Yukina"
Yusuke! Wake up! You'll be late again!
I know. I'm going.
Hold up!
Here, your bag!
Be sure you go to school, now!
Geez, no faith at all.
Every morning, every morning, this makes for good exercise!
Oh, Hiei, it's you, huh? Don't scare me like that!
Hey, what's the matter?
Have you started stalking me or something, with my overflowing charm?
What's that?
It's from Koenma.
From Koenma? What happened to Botan?
Beats me. I was just told to deliver it.
Okay, fine. Thank you.
What's the matter?
He's a strange one.
O- oh no!
Has Hiei gone?
Yeah... He gave him the tape.
All we can do now is pray that things turn out according to plan. Still...
Are you having a feeling about something?
No, it's okay...
Still, I wonder, shouldn't you have gone with him after all?
No, it's all right. Hiei has enough trust in Yusuke now.
If that's true, then fine...
--Hey. --Oh, Kuwabara!
You've got a video player in your room, right?
Ours is kind of busted. Let me watch this.
I- is that, by any chance, a dirty video?
It's a video with orders from the Spirit Realm on it.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! You've got to be kidding!
I am not about to get caught up in that any more!
Get caught up?
You're the one who always sticks your nose in,
trying to look cool, right?
I'm not about to get involved.
I learned my lesson from what happened last time!
Kuwabara...
Now then, how about I study some science?
Ah, you can't have that!
You can't bring something like that to school, you know!
Don't be so strict!
You're acting strange, Yusuke!
In what way?
What are you acting so uptight over?
Next time, whenever something happens, Yusuke, you tell me.
If possible, tell me first!
The truth is that this is a video with orders on it from the Reikai.
I still haven't watched it,
so I don't know what's on it... But, there's no need to worry.
--What's wrong? --What's the Reikai?
W- what are you talking about!?
You heard about it from Botan, right? About my duties?
Your duties? You mean how you're the assistant to a famous detective, right?
Ah, I get it! "Reikai" is the name of the detective agency, right?
Hey, Botan!
What the hell kind of explanation did you give her!?
Keiko has got just about everything wrong, you know!
Come on, say something!
It couldn't be helped, could it?
I had to explain things without talking about the Spirit Realm, after all!
I couldn't very well tell Keiko-chan what was really going on, could I?
Yours is a top-secret mission, you know!
Even so...
Shut up!
You don't come into another person's house and then start arguing!
You came to watch the video, didn't you?
Besides...
Botan-chan is right. The more she knows about what's really going on,
the closer she gets to the danger. It's common sense!
Well, that's true enough...
Kuwa-chan, thank you!
Hey now, I'll always take your side, Botan-chan.
Now, then... I'm going to say this once again-
I am absolutely not getting involved this time, okay?
Absolutely not, got that?
We know! Hurry up and start it!
This is really laying it on, huh?
It looks as though he doesn't know what to do with his free time.
Gentlemen, it has been some time.
This is Koenma, back at the Spirit Realm Investigations Bureau,
since my dad reinstated me.
Hey, hey, this is that bigwig guy? This puny little kid?
That's the same thing I said when I first met him,
You mustn't say such things in front of Koenma-sama!
It really upsets him, you know!
Now then, I am about to give you gentlemen your latest orders.
What's more, as far as regular people go, they will see ordinary noise,
so listen to me and don't worry about that.
And so, let's get down to business.
Your mission this time is to rescue a girl. Take a look.
What's this!? That's incredibly deep in the mountains, isn't it?
How awful, huh Urameshi?
You shut up!
We only recently found this out through information from Spirit Realm agents,
but the girl is being confined within a mansion
that was secretly built within the expansive forest at the foot of Mt. Honetadare.
Naturally, it is a place that no ordinary human could even set foot into.
The girl's name is Yukina. She is from a group of Yokai known as Ice Maidens.
In the Human Realm, she could also be called a Snow Woman,
a Snow Princess, or a Snow Child.
Ice Maidens are able to produce beautiful gems
such as this one from their bodies.
The reason she is being held is to make money for a heartless human,
who is forcing her to produce these gems.
How awful!
The source of these gems is her tears.
Hirui stones, right?
They say those gems can easily get several billion yen on the black market.
The person holding her is this man, Tarukane Gonzo, a jewel dealer.
From the beginning, he has used crooked methods to make his money,
but he deals in these gems through back parlor routes,
and is a figure who has made his way to the top by leaps and bounds.
Is that even a human face?
He's even worse than a Yokai.
So then, this is the image of the girl that our agents have sent us.
Those cursed tags are creating a periphery, preventing her from leaving.
She's a cute girl, isn't she? We have to do something for her!
Kuwabara...?
W- what's the matter?
I- I'm in love!
Wha-?
Let's go, Urameshi!
I will rescue that girl!
You said you were going to pass this time.
Dumbass! You think I can leave her to just you?
Even as we sit here, that girl is... Sis!
What!?
Sis...?
How long have you been there?
What are you talking about?
Someone goes to the trouble of bringing you tea,
and you guys are here watching some weird video.
Weird video!?
By any chance, could you see it?
Of course. That video is not of this world, is it?
Just what you might expect from Kuwabara's big sister.
Brother and sister both possess a strong spiritual sensitivity, huh?
None of that matters! Sis, lend me some money!
A million should be enough, right? Please!
You dummy.
These days, it only takes fifty or sixty thousand to get to Hawaii. Here.
Is that right? Thank you!
I'll be back in two or three days!
I wonder if he knows where he's going.
Good question.
Well, until he comes back, make yourselves comfortable.
Knowing that dummy, it will be about two hours before he realizes it.
Let's watch the rest of the video or something.
We have been expecting you.
What's happening with Yukina? Has she cried?
No, not in the least. On the contrary,
Iately she has stopped displaying any kind of emotion.
Rotten monster! She's gradually become toughened.
However, today I've brought with me a pro on that subject.
The leaders of a band of Yokai, the Toguro brothers.
"Toguro Brothers" The leaders of a band of Yokai, the Toguro brothers.
Those dealers who trade in demons... that band of Yokai?
Yeah...
From display booths to biological weapons,
the handling of monsters is their specialty.
It takes one to know one, after all.
If you will permit us to take care of this...
How nice...
You are all able to fly freely...
But I...
As you see, I cannot even reach out my hand from here.
Go!
Miserable monster! It seems she's trying to intimidate us with her icy Ki.
Are you all right in this cold?
You need not worry.
Here she is.
Lately, she has even been keeping her face cold and frozen in place.
Open it up!
How about it? Have you decided to cooperate with us somewhat?
That's useless.
I've gone through every kind of physical pain over these last five years.
She won't even raise an eyebrow any longer, much less scream.
You mustn't come!
Hurry and run away!
Brother!
Please, stop!
These birds are your dear friends,
who have taken your mind off of your loneliness...
isn't that so, young lady?
Please, stop!
Please!
No!!
Please... stop...!
There they are, there they are!
This is it, this is it!
With these, I'll have another several billion rolling in!
I don't know how you monsters think.
Is the death of two or three mountain birds that sorrowful?
All right. From now on, you will feed only on mountain birds.
Sakashita, the telephone! We'll auction these off right away!
Stop being so stubborn,
and start rehearsing so that you can cry at any time.
Whew, how surprising!
This is ridiculously deep in the mountains, isn't it!?
What are you talking about? It's from here on that things get awful.
Our destination is probably on the other side of that mountain.
Hey, Kuwabara...!
Splendid! It was indeed worth the great expense that I paid to hire you.
I'll be counting on you later, as well.
Sakashita, check in later to see if any more Hirui stones have fallen.
--Tarukane-sama... --What is it?
As it happens...
What? Intruders?
No doubt they're here again in order to search for the secret of the Hirui stones.
Dispose of them!
Tarukane-san...
I would ask you to let one of our men see to this.
Damn it all, this sure is some ridiculous place we've come to!
We can't possibly get there today like this.
In places where they have land, there's sure a lot of it, huh?
This way!
There's something like a mountain path over here. Let's walk along it!
--We're still walking? --All right! Let's get going!
Just hold on, Yukina-san!
I promise I will save you!
Looks like love at first sight can be for real.
Come on! What are you doing!? Stop dilly-dallying!
We can't talk to him about the rest of the video like this.
We can't very well tell him about that...
This Ice Maiden is not unconnected to you.
Especially you, Yusuke. You are in debt to her.
Yukina is Hiei's younger sister.
Hold on... Yukina!
What's wrong, Kuwabara?
I feel a strange presence.
Yusuke, the Teikikei...
Yeah, it's already here.
Who are you!?
That's what I was going to ask you.
This is private property. Get out of here immediately.
Don't come down so hard on us!
We've lost our way, and don't know what to do.
Please! Let us stay over at Tarukane-san's home!
That's something I cannot consider.
Don't be so cold to us.
Right! You guys make plenty of money with your dirty tricks, don't you?
For merely being lost kids, you know quite a bit, don't you?
You leave me no choice.
I must insist that you go back.
However, you will go as corpses.
Even if you now say you will return, it is too late.
There has been no human who has seen this form and gone back alive.
Why, you...! You were hired by Tarukane, huh?
Indeed I was!
I have been ordered to mercilessly slaughter anyone who seeks after Yukina.
But Yukina is a Yokai, which means she's one of your kind!
And so, don't you care that she is made to suffer by some scummy bastard,
Iet alone a human!?
No, I don't.
What!?
There are those among even you humans
that sell their souls for their own self-interests, right?
It's the same as that.
As for yourselves, if there was enough money piled up before your eyes,
you'd do anything, right? Eh?
You've gotta be kidding!
Don't go lumping us in with scumbags like you.
You make me puke!
What did you say!?
Maybe he didn't hear us.
Have you sold your ears to Tarukane as well?
You're pretty insolent for a human!
Die!!
I'll go first!
Right!
Tei-ken, extend!!
What!?
Looks as though this place is going to be tough to get into.
Yeah...
Yusuke and Kuwabara have stolen their way
onto Tarukane Gonzo's premises in order to rescue Yukina.
However, this was nothing more than an entrance
to the enormous trap that lies in wait for them.
Kuwa-chan, you're so eager!
Yusuke, that's some incredible power you've got too, isn't it?
But still, for some reason, I'm uneasy, you know?
The Tarukane side is surrounded by Yokai.
What's more, they're showing us all sorts of Yokai
that we don't know anything about!
They must be incredible opponents for sure!
Next time: "Envoys of Darkness: The Toguro Brothers"
I, Botan, am not an assistant detective for nothing, after all!
The second hand is sharp again tonight, as it chops up time,
Chi chi chi...
I'll never be able to finish this homework, so I toss it away!
Son of a gun!
It's the dreams that tumble away, oh,
That are the ones I want to go after,
And if I stop, they will get away, oh,
So I can't ease up on them!
It's the dreams that tumble away, oh...
