The raging fire of sadness dies away
As the icy rain continues to pour tonight
Those I love, those I hate,
Are hidden within my aching heart Continue reading “It’s Too Late” »

Ghost Files or Yu-Yu-Hakusho in Japanese is a popular detective and mystical manga and anime series. The story is dedicated to a young teenage criminal Yusuke Urameshi. One day, he can change his entire life dramatically. In an attempt to save a little kid’s life, he is hit by a car, and his body dies on Earth to open his eyes in the middle of the trial held by the authorities of the spirit kingdom. And he is being judged for his unexpected death and altruism. The sacrifice he committed is so unusual for him that the Prince of the Spiritual throne, Koenma, can’t decide where to send him – heaven or hell. After some discussion of his heroic deed, it’s considered to give this boy the opportunity to prove his good nature. He’s assigned the Spirit Detective. His duties are to find demons and ghost terrorizing humans on Earth. After completion of numerous tasks, Yusuke will be able to return to Earth to enjoy his new human life. His counselor is Botan, the death goddess plus he is helped by Kazuma Kuwabara plus two former criminals, Kurama and Hiei, who are now demonic servants.
When this whole gang lands on Earth, their assignment is to find an old martial arts master Genkai and save her from danger. She has organized a special competition to find out new apprentices who should compete with each other showing their skills. Yusuke and Kazuma decide to take part. His true aim is Rando, a demon stealing skills and abilities of martial arts masters and killing them afterwards. He fights with Rando in the final competition and wins – he becomes Genkai’s pupil and masters the art of controlling his aura. After the first successful case, Yusuke and his companions manage to defeat a lot of different demonic beings. When they appear in another world, the Demon World, they fight with Four Beasts blackmailing the Prince of the Spiritual World. They urged Koenma to destroy the border between the Demon and the human worlds and release all demons on Earth. So they have saved our world from demonic occupation!
It turns out that humans should be protected not only from demonic creatures but also from other humans. Yusuke even has to battle his predecessor, Shinobu Sensui, the former Spirit Investigator who has totalitarian plans of destroying the mankind by uniting two worlds, magical and human, with a portal. Unfortunately, the luck leaves him, and he is killed in this battle by the traitor of all humans. Shinobu manages to escape to the Demon World through a portal leaving Yusuke’s dead body to his companions. It’s decided by the council to revive Yusuke. During this process, it becomes clear that demonic blood is flowing in Yusuke’s veins. He has a recessive gene of his ancestors that has been passed to all members of the family for centuries. They were too frail to accept these powers. So the demonic blood was expecting a strong heir to accept his true nature. Being armed with his new abilities, Yusuke visits the Demon World searching for Sensui. During their battle, the spirit of his ancestor, Raizen, settled in his body and won that battle. The King of the Afterlife decides that Yusuke poses a threat to humans. He orders his subjects to find him and execute. Yusuke has no desire to be controlled by his ancestor – he escapes to the demonic world trying to find a solution. But Raizen involves him into the struggle for the demonic throne, and endless battles are waiting for him ahead.
