01x97 - Wakare - Sorezore no Tabidachi

[bunniefuu]

At the house of Sanada Kuroko,
the first Spirit Realm Detective,

Urameshi Yusuke received a visit
from men from the Demon Realm.

In the Demon Realm,
Yomi, Mukuro, and Raizen,

all of comparable strength,
had been engaged in a power struggle,

and for five hundred years,
a delicate balance had been maintained.

However, one of the three,
the God of Fighting, Raizen,

is now nearing death.

He is also said to be Yusuke's father!

It's shady characters like you that
infuriate me more than anything!

"Parting-- Our Respective Departures."

I held back as hard as I could.

I'll decide whether or not to k*ll you
after I hear what you have to say.

Well done. I did not realize what
was happening until I was struck.

It is true, I have not told
you everything. However...

it was because I thought
that you would have difficulty

understanding our shared consciousness.

Don't be so pretentious!

To you guys, it's a matter
of what you eat, isn't it?

Whatever your countrymen eat,
or whatever your king is abstaining from,

that only matters to them personally,

and what binds you together
lies somewhere else, doesn't it?

Nobody thinks that
your whole story is untrue.

The other two strong Yokai that oppose
your king are still using humans as food,

just like you are, right?

Even so, there's some reason why
you guys are going against them,

and siding with your king,
who has given up humans.

If you had told me why from the start,
it would have made a lot more sense.

You are indeed a descendant
of King Raizen.

You resemble him quite closely.

Ha! You've gotta be kidding.

The reason is simple.
King Raizen is a lot like you.

What?

Whether someone is fun to fight with,
or they aren't, is everything to me.

In the end, I will also give up
using humans for food.

I will probably never eat a human again.

However, right now, no matter what,
I want to have the strength

to resist my enemies.

Why are you going through all of this
to fight against the two opposing Yokai?

Because the king hates them.

For whatever reason,
any Yokai the king hates, I hate too.

I see. That's easy to understand.

By all means, I would like to
introduce you to King Raizen.

I will come to see you again in one week.
I will get your answer then.

You probably have your answer already,
but we will leave this world.

There must be many things
that you need to take care of.

Yusuke-kun...

Kuroko-san, what's with
the severe look on your face?

You should go to the Demon Realm.

That probably would be best.

If you can stand before
a man-eating Yokai like that,

and tolerate how we are
just meals to them,

then you are no longer a resident
of the Human Realm.

You could be right.

I wasn't going to say anything...

but there was a messenger from
the Spirit Realm that came to me as well.

Who's there?

You are to k*ll Urameshi Yusuke.

Urameshi Yusuke?

He is a dangerous youth, who possesses
demonkin blood. k*ll him at once.

I've retired from being a Spirit
Realm Detective. I must refuse.

Sheesh! Sure enough,
it's just like Koenma said.

It looks like the Spirit Realm folks
want to snuff me out no matter what.

I turned them down.

Afterward, I telephoned Master Genkai
and asked about you.

And what did Ba-san tell you?

That I would know about you
if I were to actually meet you.

That's what she told me.

Until a moment ago, having
actually seen you, I was at ease.

But it's different now.
Now, I'm afraid of you.

I cannot put as much faith
in you as Master Genkai does.

What...?

If you're around,

then in time, it seems likely that
you would have to fight my children,

and that terrifies me.

There's no way that's
going to happen, you know!

Can you say that with any conviction?

I wanted to be of help to you,

but you and those three guys from earlier
all have power far greater than I do.

I can't offer you anything.

I understand.

I'm sorry to have barged in on you.

Yusuke-kun! Just a minute!

I was in the middle of reading
your fortune earlier, right?

Yeah...

It came through so clearly
that I failed to mention it,

but I saw a great parting
in your reading earlier.

A great parting?

Yeah. A parting with
your comrades in arms, over blood.

Visitors calling in the middle
of the night aren't very welcome.

I might treat you roughly,
depending on your business.

Here.

It is a messageball from Yomi-sama.

Did you say Yomi?!

Now, if you'll excuse us...

A messageball from Yomi?

Yomi...!

It's been a long time, huh, Kurama?
I'm glad you're alive.

Then again, with this messageball,
I can only speak one-way.

I'd like to see you right away.

Thinking back on it now,
back when we were together,

we were both underdeveloped Yokai.

But I have become strong.

I'm this close to being able
to control the Demon Realm.

Raizen and Mukuro...
You must still remember these names.

They are the Yokai

who were already attempting to rule
the Spirit Realm when we were born.

Several hundred years ago,
I came to be on par with them.

I wish to surpass these two,
and unite the Demon Realm.

Kurama, lend me your strength.
This time, you help me.

I have faith that you will come.

I forgot to mention that
about a hundred years ago,

I was able to find the Yokai
who stole my light from me.

I've wanted you to see him,
so I've been keeping him alive.

I would like very much for you to see him.

It will make you smile.

An old friend of yours?

Hiei...!

I surprised you, huh?

You were so caught up, you became
unaware of your surroundings,

which isn't like you.

I had a messenger come to me, too.
In my case, it was one of Mukuro's men.

Mukuro?

Pleased to meet you, Hiei. I am Mukuro.

I don't often show myself to others.

Not because it's dangerous,

but because it's hard to move
around when you're well-known.

Getting to the point,
you've caught my attention.

Why don't you become my servant?

You could even become my right-hand man.

This is top-secret information
that I will only tell you.

As it happens, Raizen is
on the verge of death.

Once Raizen dies, I will immediately
launch an all-out offensive on Yomi.

He talks of uniting the Demon Realm,

and would force his own
ideas of order upon us.

He's an even more insufferable
b*stard than Raizen.

The Demon Realm
will soon return to normal.

When that happens, be at my side.

Idiot. That b*stard sure talks a lot.
He's what you'd call a "poacher."

It looks like Mukuro also knows of
our run-in with Sensui.

They're looking near and far throughout
the Demon Realm for large Yoki clashes,

and checking on every last thing.

Apparently, things are
going to get interesting.

I'm going to go see Mukuro.

Relax, I don't plan on siding with Mukuro.

Fighting year-round is the best way
to quickly raise your fighting abilities.

If you go to Mukuro, you'll have
no shortage of fighting, is that it?

I'm going to make good use of him.

Hiei, you don't know
how terrible Mukuro is...

Eikichi...

What the hell are you doing?!

Quit sleeping with that
blank look on your face!

This is the face our parents
gave me! It's not my fault.

So, Kazuma, what are you
doing about high school?

I'm going.

In that case, study a little!

How annoying...

Leave me alone!

W-What now?

Your sister... Your sister, see...
is worried about you...

Sheesh, I know that.

The way things are going,
you're going to ruin your life.

My sister is the last person
I want to hear that from.

Be quiet!

You're the first son
of the Kuwabara family!

If you don't pull it together,
it's going to put me out!

I won't be able to do
what I want, you know!

I know! I've been seriously
thinking about my future too!

You stupid goon!

Geez, how did I get such a slacker,
so unlike me, for a brother?

I let one rip.

This is an important time.

Maybe I should get serious
for once in my life.

Maybe doing nothing but fighting
really will be the ruin of my life.

What is it? Here I thought
you were skipping school,

and then suddenly you invite me out.

I've become a demonkin.

Remember? When I came out of
that cave, I was different, right?

Yeah...

It would take a long time
to explain it all.

So, how are you different
from the previous Yusuke?

There's no fundamental difference.

Then there's no problem, right?

The thing is, I'm thinking
of going to the Demon Realm.

When?

Tomorrow.

Have you told your mother?

Yeah. The old lady asked which
was farther away, there or America.

So, can you come back?

There are several ways by which
we can come to the Human Realm.

However, regulations
prohibit us from using them.

Can you come back?

P-Probably...

When?

I don't know.

I see.

Kuwabara-kun, you know...

is getting into Gai Technical College's
High School Annex.

Kuwabara is?!

And me, I'm getting into Daiichi Women's.

Is that right? You're getting
into a girls' school, huh?

There's a boys' school right next door.

Well, then...

When you get home, let me know.
I'll introduce you to my boyfriend.

Have a safe trip.

Keiko!

Please! Don't dump me!

Dummy! It's too late now.

Bye-bye.

CERTAIN VICTORY

PASS GAI HIGH'S EXAM

That's it! 2 × 2 = 8!

YUKIMURA DINER

Sorry, we're closed for today.

Oh, if it ain't Yu-chan!
Haven't seen you in a while.

You want your usual?

Mm-hmm.

Hey, Keiko! Yu-chan's here!

It's okay, I just came to eat, that's all.

Oh, no you don't. Hey, Keiko!
Come give me a hand!

What for? I'm in the middle of studying!

Who cares about your studying?

If you gotta study so hard
that you can't help your parents out,

just go to another school.

Geez, all right!

One yakiniku platter.

Okay, okay.

What's the matter with
the way you're holding those?

All this time, and you still
haven't gotten good at it.

You ain't never gonna make
anyone a good wife like that.

Just leave me alone.

Thanks for waiting.

Take your time.

What's that for? Sit down!

Why?

Just do it, okay?

It looks good!

This is great!
The seasoning is just right!

Thanks so much.

Have some?

Don't want any.

You don't say...

You know, tomorrow is my birthday.

I know.

And, well...

What?

I'll be back in exactly three years.

I promise.

And when I do...

When you do...?

Let's get married.

Proposing after you've been dumped?
Don't you have any integrity?

I haven't heard Yu-chan
use that line in a long time.

He used to say that every time you
got into a fight way back when, huh?

Three years, huh?

Right. Exactly three years.

There's no telling what
will happen, you know!

It's such a long time ahead of us...

Keiko! I love you!

Right, right, me too.

Yusuke, three years...

I'm about to leave for the Demon Realm.

To where my pop is...
To where my homeland is.

Kuwabara is angry about it,

but this time,
there's nothing I can do about it.

In order to put an end
to this head-over-heels life,

I have to meet my old man,
and surpass him.

Please understand.

Next time, "To the Demon Realm!
A Meeting with the Father."

I'll be back!
