01x22 - Kanashimi Bishojo Yukina

[bunniefuu]

Having died once, Urameshi Yusuke was
resurrected as a Spirit Realm Detective.

Furthermore, he has defeated
the notorious Yokai Rando and Suzaku,

and has become the successor
to the secrets of the Reikohado-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!

Yeah.

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 if you should
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 anymore!

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 Spirit Realm.

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 Spirit Realm?

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! "Spirit Realm" 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!

"Unauthorized reproduction
or distribution is forbidden."

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 in
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 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 wards are creating a perimeter,
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.

We have been expecting you.

What's happening with Yukina?
Has she cried?

No, not in the least.

On the contrary,

lately she has stopped
displaying any kind of emotion.

Rotten monster! She's gradually
become toughened.

However, today I've brought
with me some pros on that subject.

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.

Splendid! It was indeed worth
the great expense that I paid to hire you.

I'll be counting on you from now on.

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 Reikikei...

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 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 b*stard,

let alone a human?!

No, I don't.

What?!

Even among you humans,

there are those that sell their souls
for their own self-interest, 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 humans!

Die!!

I'll go first!

Right!

Rei-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!
