Yuu Yuu Hakusho terms and my own character placed in

Disclaimer: Oh I wish I could have Duo and Heero to my
self...but I can't. *hears Duo muttering in the back
ground about 'good thing too'*

[the next morning]

"Up and at them boys! It's time for breakfast!"
Howard hollars out to the boys.

"But the sun's not even up." Duo protests.

"You can see a sliver in the horizon. Besides, 'the
early bird gets the worm' as they say!" Howard replies
cheerfully.

"How come you're so chipper?" Wufei mutters.

"After a while, caffeine becomes your friend. Now, we
need to get you fed so we can practice some more."
Howard replies, grinning like a madman.

Heero, Duo, Trowa, Quatre, Wufei, Zechs, and Treize
all groan at the thought of more training.

"Now now boys, we have to catch up to the bad guys.
They're nearly done their training." G informs them.
"You had the unfortunate luck to find us so late. We
must prepare you."

"How far along are we?" Quatre asks.

"About halfway I suppose." G estimates.

"And the girls?" Zechs asks.

"They have a few fine tuning to do and then they're
ready to take you on." G informs them.

"How do you know all this?" Trowa asks.

"We have spies posted near their training area that
report back regularly." Crystal informs them.

"Oh."

"Well, eat up. You'll need your strength and
stamina." Howard promises.

The days continue on with the boys waking up early in
the morning to begin their training and going to bed
late at night exhausted. Not before long, Howard and
G announces that the boys are as ready as they'll ever
be.

"What does that mean?" Wufei snarls.

"It means we can no long teach you any more." G
explains wearily.

"Why?" Treize demands.

"Because Johs plans on introducing himself to his
minions." Howard explains.

"What does this have to do with us?" Zechs asks.

"Everything." G groans.

"Explain." Heero growls.

"Tonight, Johs will introduce himself to them and they
will be his pawns. He will control their very minds.
You won't be able to reach out to them until you have
defeated Johs. But by the time you reach him, he
would have protected himself with those mindless pawns
who would throw their lives away to protect him. It
would sap all your energy to keep them unconscious
while you fight against Johs." Crystal informs them.

"What about my cousin?" Treize asks.

"There may be a chance that she wouldn't be under his
control, but that is still a chance." Crystal informs
him. "Gomen nasai."

"Don't worry about it. It's not your fault." Treize
murmurs.

Zechs places a hand on Treize's shoulder to offer
comfort and compassion. Duo looks at G and Howard.

"Do we get some sort of power-up now? You did say
something like that in the beginning." Duo says.

"Hai, we did." Howard replies. "It's been nice
knowing you."

"What do you mean by that?" Quatre asks, alarmed.

It is too late for any replies, G and Howard
concentrates and shared their combined powers to
Heero, Duo, Trowa, Quatre, Wufei, Zechs, and Treize.

<Good luck.> is the only reply they got.

They look at each other in shock as the bodies of G
and Howard turns to dust before their very eyes. They
feel stronger, more powerful and in control of their
lives. Questions flash out towards Crystal.

"If you saw how the others died, you would not be
surprised." Crystal informs them. "They all turned to
dust as the last ounce of power left them."

All seven young men bow their head in respect for
those who passed away.

"Don't let their sacrifice go in vain. We must stop
Johs from completing his task. We must stop him from
entering this dimension." Crystal commands.

"Hai!" everyone, including the previously silent
bond-companions shouts out.
