Heading: Black Book Club

Security: You have eternity to repent!  You will learn from violating Tarukane's estate.

Kuwa: Who does this idiot think he is?

Security: It's too late to turn back... You've seen me... You must die...

Yusuke:  ...

Heading: Black Book Club

Page 29
Yusuke: You know that the girl held by Tarakune is a youkai?  She's like you. You do nothing, knowing that Tarukane is torturing such a person?

Security: Yeah.  So?  Among humans, there are guys who sell their souls to the devil.  Me, I sell my services for money.  If someone should put a packet of cash under your nose, you wouldn't refuse...

Kuwa & Yusuke: We wouldn't be part of that!

Kuwa & Yusuke: Humans aren't worms!!!

[Kuwabara slices & dices, Yusuke fires his reigun.]

Toguro:  Amazing...

Tarukane: What is it?

Toguro: The ki of one of my men has disappeared.  I think the ones who come were his downfall.

Tarukane: What?!  Your people are as weak as that?!!

Toguro: They have a tough air...  I sense a large power.

Tarukane: Eh, you're so sure of yourself?  I want something for my money, you understand?!

Toguro: No problem.

Tarukane: I don't have your confidence!
 

Page 33
Tarukane: I want you to prove yourselves!

Toguro:  Ah, yes? And how?

Tarukane: Come, I'll show you a way.  Sakashita, you're going to triple my security!

[Tarukane lead the way to a room full of cages.]

Toguro:  Only special monsters.  You are a man of taste.

Tarukane: I'm proud of my collection.  You can buy anything with money.  Look!

Heren: Graaoooh!
 

Page 34
Tarukane: He comes from the orient.  His name is Heren.  He feeds on lions and tigers, and was conceived through genetic manipulation.  Are you capable of killing him? [Thinking] He fancies himself a player, he'll let himself down... a good means of reducing his salary...

Toguro:  This doesn't please me.

Tarukane: Ha ha, he's flipped!  His salary is already halved!  ?!!  Eh, but?!
 

Page 35
[Toguro enters the cage (minus Little Toguro!).]

Toguro: I don't have an attitude like that, but...  I like animals...

Tarukane: Wait, idiot!!!  If you get killed, who will protect Yukina?  Heren doesn't obey me by manner!

Toguro: Poor thing... I'm going to use 30% of my power.
 

Page 36
Toguro: Raah!

Tarukane: His muscles are visibly growing!

Toguro: I'm scatterbrained.  I can't control my muscles.

[Heren hits Toguro on the shoulder, causing a crater to form.]
 

Page 37
Toguro: Happily we're in the basement...  I don't want this...  It's your master who wants this done!

[Toguro punches Heren in the stomach, chopping him in two.]
 

Page 38
Tarukane: Oh!
 

Page 39
Toguro: I've obeyed your orders... although it makes me feel bad.

Tarukane: Uh... aha...  Aha ha ha ha!!! You're a genius! You've convinced me!  I'll triple your salary!!!  Do you want to be my personal guard?!!

Toguro: I'll see...

Tarukane: You said you were at 30%?  You beat Heren at 30%?!

Toguro: Yes.  It could have been 20%.  I'm not really sure of myself.

Tarukane: Sakashita, go to the phone!

Sakashita: Sorry?  I've already done the sale...

Tarukane: Not that, fool!!!  Call the members of the Black Book Club!!!
 

Page 40
Sakashita: You're going to bet again?  He he

Tarukane: One such spectacle bodes well that I'll make money on top!  It's a perfect opportunity to extort money from the five members of the Black Book Club.  The cool entry, the earning off the wagers, the millions for me...  This Yukina is truly a goldmine...

Toguro: In my opinion, you're not going to heaven...

Tarukane: I'll try to buy immortality!  Let's go, I must fight for the way I live!!!

Yukina: ...

Narration: One minute later...

[In a room with five screens, showing the five members of the BBC.]

Tarukane: I thank you for having responded so quickly to my invitation.

BBC #5: For nothing in the world would we miss such a show.

BBC #4: It's the only pleasure we have left, ha ha!

BBC #?: We've exhausted all other entertainment.

BBC #?: Too bad others still have their diversions!

Sakyo (BBC #1): Enough!  What are the stakes of the day?

Tarukane: Some people have infiltrated our property to uncover the secrets of the hiruseki pearl.  The bet today consists of an assault by my new recruits.

BBC #5: We know the type who infiltrate, but... we're going to bet on the brokers of darkness.

Tarukane: [Thinking] He he he. That went just as I foresaw. [ Aloud] An easy bet...  I must know you.

Sakashita: The two intruders are following this route.  The brokers will go meet them in order to eliminate them.
 

Page 43
Toguro: I've twelve men posted outside.  Here, we are three.  They all have great power, they fear nothing.

BBC #5: I see! The bet is only a pretext!  You want to make some cash on the spectacle, right?

Tarukane: Alright, let's start!  The first bet: the two intruders against the twelve lackeys.

Sakyo: ...

Sakashita: The one who wins will pocket double their stake.

BBC #?: Two hundred million on the brokers!

BBC #?: Me too, another 200 million.

BBC #?: Me too, 500 million on the brokers

Tarukane: [Thinking] He he... They've swallowed the hook, they don't know who they are...
 For some time, two youths, a certain Urameshi and his cohort Kuwabara have been said to have defeated youkai with dark reputations for their cruelty.  I think they even defeated Rando and Suzaku who weren't first-timers!  I think that my guys don't stand a chance against these two intruders...
 

Page 44
Sakyo: I stake 5000 million on the two intruders!!!

Tarukane: Urp!

BBC #?: Idiot!  How do you think that two humans can win against twelve monsters?

Sakyo: They're not just any two... That's what intrigues me.  It's done.  I've already agreed to speak for the two boys and their exploits.

Tarukane: [Gulps] Mr. Sakyo, for a young man, you have guts.  [Thinking] Shit! It's swelling up! He's already resigned on the two kids, but how?

Toguro: Just this moment I felt the loss of six of my men.  Not bad...
 

Page 45
Yusuke & Kuwa: Six more!!!

Youkai: We won't let you pass!!!  Letting you through is out of the question!!!

Kuwa: Do they never get tired?!!  Nothing will stop my love!!!

Yusuke: [Aside] He's hot!
 

Page 46
Kuwa: You're going to die!

[Kuwa dices, Yusuke punches...]
 

Page 47
Yusuke & Kuwa: Easy!!!

Toguro: They're all gone...

Sakyo: One would say that I've won my bet.  I wagered 5000 million, that makes it 10 000 million.

Tarukane: [sweating] Sakashita, prepare 10 000 million...

Sakashita: Eh... Yes...
