For those of you who are not familiar with YuYu Hakusho but can speak a little English, here is a fairly detailed homepage: http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Towers/4809/

Here is a gallery with large pictures and collages, where you can see almost all YuYu characters in my story.

For me, YuYu Hakusho is by the way THE ideal successor series to GT, because it contains similar elements and should appeal to the same audience.

The spelling of some names (Saiyan, Kililyn, Gokou) was based on the Dragon Ball Z Hero Collection Cards.

Now to the story:<br />
<br />
Part 1 - Distinguished visitor and a terrible vision
<br />
<br />
Once again it was a heavenly day in paradise. Gokou had practiced with some of Master Kaio's heroes in the beautiful, great hall. Well, there wasn't much left of all the splendor. Gokou adjusted his halo and sighed at the smoking remains of the wall. When Master Kaio was back from the Kaios meeting, there would be a few bad allegations.
<br />
<br />
"It's not your fault," a hero named Katano encouraged him kindly. He had only recently arrived and had been Gokou's preferred training partner ever since. "You couldn't have known that I would avoid your Kamehameha by jumping into the depths ..."
<br />
<br />
Gokou sighed and rubbed his dirty forehead. "That was pretty sneaky of you, too, just making a hole in the ground and disappearing into it ..."
<br />
<br />
"I couldn't have guessed that your Kamehameha as a triple Super Saiyan is such a" resounding "success in the truest sense of the word.The others could have warned me in advance. Where are they?"
<br />
<br />
Gokou also looked in vain for the other heroes. "It must have gotten too hot for them here."
<br />
<br />
"As I estimate Master Kaio, it will be even hotter when he arrives here," said Katano dryly. "Shouldn't we at least pretend to clean up the mess?"
<br />
<br />
Said and done. They carried the remains of the wall together in a neat, large heap.
<br />
<br />
"Do you think that if we spread a few bushes around it, won't he notice?", Gokou Katano asked hopefully. He looked at the little mountain of broken stones and splintered beams and boards with slight skepticism. “I doubt we can find bushes three stories high so quickly.” Gokou had to agree. "Then there is only one thing left."
<br />
<br />
"And that would be?"
<br />
<br />
"We rely on Master Kaio's humor. Can you think of a stupid joke question?He's into them. "
<br />
<br />
While Katano frowned until his head began to smoke, Gokou found a broom under the rubble and swept the cracked plates with such eagerness that you couldn't see your hand in the clouds of dust.
<br />
<br />
"Son ... Gokou ...", a new voice coughed from behind the two of them. "What happened here?"
<br />
"Umm ... Master Kaio, is that you?" The question was completely superfluous, after all, Gokou had long since recognized the aura of his trainer.
<br />
<br />
"I think you can stop sweeping," sighed Katano, who unfortunately couldn't think of a joke, and bowed his shaggy, dark head in anticipation of a divine thunderstorm. Instead, the Kaio seemed to be paying little attention to the signs of destruction. Rather, he inspected Gokou from head to toe and mumbled to himself in a low voice .... "Level should be high enough that fits with the halo too ... it could ... it could work ..."<br />
"What are you talking about, Master Kaio?" Asked Gokou, surprised.
<br />
<br />
"About ... oh yes, you don't even know." Master Kaio adjusted his glasses and his antennae bobbed with excitement. "King Enma wants you to come to him on the spot, he is expecting important visitors and the best of the deceased fighters should be there. Since you won the tournament of Dai Kaio, of course you are meant by that."
<br />
<br />
“A change.” Gokou dropped the broom and stretched. "Then I'll leave the rest of here to you, Katano." The person addressed swallowed hard. "Alone?"
<br />
<br />
The Kaio looked around. "The others are not far. Just tell them I told them to help you. The hall has to be up and running until I and Gokou are back, understand?"
<br />
<br />
"Got it," said Katano happily and went to look for the other heroes.
<br />
Meanwhile, the Kaio Gokou circled three times."No, it just doesn't work that way. After all, it's an official visit. First we need a thorough cleaning." He snapped his fingers and suddenly Gokou was sitting in a huge wash tub with no clothes on. Brushes, washing gloves, shower, everything worked without his intervention. He was shampooed, soaped, scrubbed and rubbed until his skin was as pink as a polished porcelain piglet. Then the Kaio gave him a quick drying cycle in the form of a huge blow dryer and finally he got a new combat suit in blue, his master's favorite color. "That's better," said Master Kaio, satisfied, and put a hand on Gokou's arm.
<br />
<br />
"Now teleport to Enma."
<br />
<br />
Gokou nodded resignedly, concentrated and a moment later he and Master Kaio were standing in front of Enma's monstrous desk. To celebrate the high attendance, he had also dressed up and put on a new suit and a bright red tie.<br />
<br />
"There you are at last," sighed Enma, relieved. "It should be ready at any moment."
<br />
<br />
"What? Where?", Gokou looked around, but could not see a high guest. All the sub-demons and devils seemed tense like flick arcs and stared at a place on Enma's desk that Gokou could not see from his position. Curious as he was, he jumped on the table top with a force of force. He almost fell off the edge again in shock.
<br />
A circle filled with magical symbols had been drawn in the center of the otherwise cluttered table. Uranai Baba hovered over his center, sitting on her ball, eyes closed and muttering incomprehensible scraps of words to himself. Gokou opened his mouth to ask what it was all about, but Master Kaio, who had followed him, stopped him.
<br />
Uranai Baba had just finished her litany and clapped her hands. The characters beneath her began to glow and slowly turn in circles.They left a glowing golden trail and as they got faster and faster, their tracks were blurred and became a single golden vortex that made Gokou dizzy to look at. A dark point formed in the heart of the vortex, which quickly enlarged and turned into a black spot. It seemed to be turning in the opposite direction, and since its movement also left traces, black and gold intertwined so that they looked like intertwined hurricanes.
<br />
<br />
Uranai Baba floated away from the center towards Enma. "The gate is up. Everything else is up to the other side."
<br />
<br />
King Enma nodded, visibly tense, and adjusted the sleeves of his good suit. "How do I look?"
<br />
<br />
"Impressive as always," said Gokou helpfully. Enma gave him a skeptical look.
<br />
"We'd better take a few steps back," said Master Kaio, slightly nervous. A bright point emerged from the black center in the depth of the counter-vortex, which was carried upwards by the vortex.Even Enma took a few steps back to be on the safe side. Uranai Baba, Master Kaio, and Gokou backed up behind the huge inkwell in the far right corner of the table. So, of course, they couldn't see how the point grew into a small ball, which the further up it rose, the brighter and larger it became. What they saw very well was how the ball finally shot out of the vortex with a diameter of three meters and was almost catapulted over the table top.
<br />
<br />
"Interesting technique," muttered Uranai Baba, venturing a little forward and looking at Enma. "Isn't she a little small?"
<br />
<br />
Enma swallowed and leaned forward to take a closer look at the bright sphere. Then it "plopped" and the sphere dissolved. Gokou and Master Kaio, who had already got closer, flinched back, as did Enma. Only Uranai Baba remained floating in the same place.
<br />
Instead of the energy ball, two unconscious figures lay on the table top.<br />
<br />
"Who do we have there?", Master Kaio wondered and stepped closer again. Its antennae bobbed excitedly. The young woman with the blue hair groaned softly and slowly sat up. "I feel sick ..."
<br />
<br />
"And me first," came the much smaller figure next to her. She rubbed her forehead and felt for the oar, which was a little way off.
<br />
<br />
"You could have warned me in advance," groaned the little one and adjusted his tall hat, which had the letters Jr on it.
<br />
<br />
Uranai Baba looked invitingly at King Enma. "Now say something!"
<br />
<br />
"Ummm ...", King Enma cleared her throat. "Welcome to our reality. I am ..."
<br />
"King Enma," said the little one. "That cannot be overlooked."
<br />
<br />
He got up and patted his clothes clean. Gokou swallowed. A baby. It was actually a baby with a pacifier in its mouth, but it didn't stop him from speaking.<br />
<br />
"Me and Botan here would like to thank you for the invitation in the name of our reality."
<br />
<br />
"Tell me," now Uranai Baba interfered. "Are you really Enma too?"
<br />
<br />
“Huh ?!” Gokou didn't understand anything anymore.
<br />
<br />
"Just be quiet and listen!" Hissed Master Kaio.
<br />
<br />
The baby tapped her hat. "Yes, I'm Koenma, Enma's son. I guess you were expecting my father, but he's just indispensable."
<br />
<br />
“Enma's son?” Master Kaio laughed. "So at least one Enma has found its lid."
<br />
King Enma blushed and
