"Kurama's Secret!" "?" "The Ties Between Mother And Son" "I'm gonna be killed!" "How good of you to interfere with my meal." "Now you're going to pay... that is!" "I should've avoided a direct hit!" "I put too much power into that." "now that I think about it." "It's that fragility that I love so much!" "suffer and die!" "It's no use!" "I can't move!" "is someone there?" "Everyone come here!" "There's someone here!" "it's true!" " Wouldn't you enjoy camping with us?" "People are coming!" "hurry!" "There is someone over here!" "That voice... will stop coming around us!" "You should worry about your own life!" "come here quick!" "W- where am I?" "isn't it?" "are you awake?" "Yeah." "Yeow!" "You don't all of a sudden hit people who are injured! don't make me worry by being so reckless!" "will you!" "?" "But that voice... the one that saved me yesterday..." "Are your injuries okay?" "Hi!" "huh?" "I knew it!" "who carried you in here." "You've gotta thank her!" "then?" ")" "Mm hmm." "Koenma-sama said it wouldn't be very handy to have an Assistant Spirit Realm Detective that no one could see." "but..." "Yusuke... okay?" "she says!" "you did pretty well to find where I was." "I was able to track down where you were!" "Number 2:" "Yokikei." "indicates its direction and distance." "I was pretty nervous." "He was no half pint." "To think that such a strong a guy would be my opponent..." "The other two guys have even greater spiritual power than him." "We've got to catch these guys within a week..." "To take back those treasures... huh?" "I can't shoulder all this!" "Yusuke!" "This is no time to be anxious!" "after all." "Brush it off!" "If Yama the Great comes back like this..." "The world will be..." "The world will be... what kind of position does that put me in!" "?" "another a strange incident afflicting elementary-school children has occurred today." "not again." "This is scary. have fallen into a comatose state for unexplained reasons and were taken to a hospital. and call on the residents in the area to be careful." "I bet!" "Children's spirits are his favorite meal!" "he'll keep on eating them!" "These freshly caught spirits are wriggling around and around in my belly!" "how long can it last?" "just one day." "All right!" "What do you think you're doing?" "Don't tell me..." "I'm gonna take him down!" "In the condition you're in?" "but having your spirit eaten right?" "for one." "Those poor things!" "Yusuke!" "I'll be able to shoot the Rei-gun once." "like I did yesterday." "Number 3:" "Reigeki Ring." "Raises the power of the Rei-gun many times over." "we wanted to wait until your spiritual powers had increased some before handing this over." "It's a ring that will dramatically increase the force of the Rei-gun." "you'll likely be unable to stay standing from the exhaustion!" "It's your last ace in the hole!" "Gotcha!" "the tea is ready!" "Yusuke!" "Huh?" "Here!" "You dropped this!" "I'll eat your spirit for you." "Another one becomes mine!" "Goki!" "I've come to pay you back!" "You!" "Didn't you hear the warning I gave you yesterday!" "?" "I'm not all that bright!" "This is twice you've interrupted my meal!" "let's try slamming him one with everything I've got!" "have you?" "My body is hardened on a par with steel." "No blade can get through!" "I know!" "How about this!" "?" "useless!" "Don't you get it!" "?" "all right." "There's nothing left but to stake this fight on the Rei-gun! I don't think you can inflict any lethal damage to him!" "I can only hit one of them...!" "Hold on!" "If I get close enough...!" "with your anguished screams!" "W- who are you!" "?" "now!" "I'll eat the two of you together at once!" "You've been an utter nuisance to me!" "DIE!" "I was waiting for that!" "For you to come close and open the mouth of that stupid face of yours wide!" "but how about inside your mouth?" "Take this!" "Rei-gun!" " I did it...!" " Yusuke!" "five... huh?" "Yeah!" "Young lady...!" "Young lady...!" "she's come to!" "young lady?" "Mama!" "my!" "It took me all this just to get one of these back." "Two to go!" "I hate to think what could be coming next!" "prop yourself up on my shoulder!" "You think I would do something so degrading?" "Of all the...!" "What is it?" "It's one of them!" "I'm in no condition to fight them now!" "There he is!" "It's Kurama!" "You don't need to be so wary." "I have no intention of fighting or running away." "I have a request." "Request?" "Please wait just three days." "I will assuredly return the Ankokukyo to you." "Yeow!" "Ow ow!" "Can't you treat that a little more gently!" "?" "you know!" "What he says is too good to be true!" "Three more days... that's right when the moon is full!" "That's the day the Ankokukyo that Kurama holds exhibits its greatest magical power!" "That mirror reflects the desires of those who look into it." "It's said that it then grants that desire. but it's a mystery as to whatever that is." "I'm sure he's trying to figure out what it is during these three days! right?" "that's right..." "I have a feeling that he's not all that bad a guy." "What are you saying!" "It was his partner that wore you ragged like this!" "the three of them were fighting among each other." "but that Kurama guy was trying to pull out of their group." "but you'll have to let me back out." "I didn't get the feeling he was lying." "What could be up with Kurama...?" "dinner's ready!" "you come eat too!" "Thank you so much!" "hey!" "We're in the middle of talking about something very important right now!" "What's this?" "Is it anything that can't be said in front of your mother!" "?" "look!" "It's not like that!" "That's not what I'm saying at all!" "It has nothing to do with that! you go directly to where Kurama specified!" "I know." "See ya." "City Hospital" "What?" "If it isn't the hospital!" "I've been waiting." "Room 501" "Minamino-sama" "My... for you to bring a friend along." "Mom." "Lie back down." "Mom?" "I'm feeling pretty good today." "I don't have any appetite." "or else you'll never get better." "Shuichi." "Sure you will!" "I need for you to get well soon!" "then?" "Shuichi is the name I've adopted in the Human Realm." "That woman is my adopted mother." "My father died a long time ago." "I let her raise me under this deception." "I'm not following you at all. and becoming an enchanted creature." "I specialized in stealing ancient treasures." "I was seriously injured by a powerful hunter." "still in my spiritual body." "I had planned on removing myself from the presence of that couple... why...?" "That woman..." "Mom's illness is incurable." "It was then that those guys appeared." "They invited me to join their band to steal the three grand treasures of darkness." "see?" "And so?" "I want to use the Ankokukyo here to save her! and receive his judgement." "Why would a Yokai go that far for a human?" "Why indeed." "I'm not too sure myself." "But there is one thing I know for certain." "I owe her an awful lot." "she did an excellent job of raising me." "it was the first time I ever thought about repaying her kindness." "Why are you telling me all this?" "Maybe I just wanted someone to hear about it." "you had faith in me." "your mother...! she's in extremely critical condition." "And so...?" "Tonight will probably prove the steepest of passes for her." "We'll do our best." "I have to do it!" " You're gonna use the Ankokukyo!" "?" " Yeah." "I heard you gotta offer up something." "Do you know what it is?" "My life." "you say!" "?" "It's a demonic mirror that grants your wish as it takes your life. because it has changed owners so many times." "I have to go hurry and let Yusuke know!" "I wonder if that girl is all right." "receive the light of the moon and awaken!" "and reflect my desire on your surface!" "A lifetime of happiness for this woman." "Is that your desire?" "It is." "aren't you making a mistake!" "?" "it won't amount to anything!" "This is the only way!" "it means I must have your life." "Are you sure this is all right?" "If it will save her life..." "I shall grant your desire!" "Mom!" "What are you doing!" "?" "mirror!" "I'm giving you my life!" "right!" "?" "What are you thinking!" "?" "The sight of a mother's crying face after losing her son... it's unbearable!" "There is nothing more discomforting!" "Yusuke!" "how about Mom!" "?" "Yusuke?" "Yusuke!" "O- ow...!" "I survived!" "It's situations like that where I act before thinking about what will come afterward." "Thinking about it now makes me shudder!" "are you here?" "Dummy..." "I got hold of the Ankokukyo!" "I have decided to grant the wish even without a life." "I hear she's over the pass!" "but her condition is well on its way to complete recovery!" "it utterly astonishes me how much force of life some people have!" "Shuichi..." "Mom..." "Isn't this just great!" "?" "I guess so." "Now there's only one more treasure to go." "that's really outstanding!" "huh!" "?" "incredible!" "Yusuke doesn't understand just how hard getting back the third treasure is going to be!" "who stole the Koma no Ken..." "he's not just your average guy!" "Good grief!"
