CHAPTER ONE

For a couple of years now Kurama has been attending a university in his hometown of Tokyo. It has been six years since he has seen anyone from Team Urameshi, except of course for Botan and Koenma. After Yusuke quit his position of Spirit Detective Koenma suggested that Kurama would make an excellent detective (Especially considering the fact that Kurama wouldn't call him a toddler). Kurama accepted and took the position as the new Spirit Detective.

Kurama walked home from his class in his usual route home. He wasn't heavily tired because, unlike Koenma's jobs, college life was easy. He walked easily down the street with his books in one hand, hoping that the demons would take a break today.

All was peaceful until he heard his friend's delinquent voice rise over the other noises over the air.

"Kurama! Good to see you again! What innocent people have you been killing?" Yusuke Urameshi asked with a tease in his voice. One hand was wrapped around his wife, Keiko Yukimura and another around a soft bundle cradled in his torso.

Kumara was greatly surprised. "Why Yusuke, I didn't know that you were a father! Congratulations Yusuke! And you too Keiko!"

"Thank you Kumara." Keiko said with her eyes filled to show the wonderful life that she had.

The soft baby gurgled and opened its eyes. The little boy had his father's dark black hair and his mother's brown eyes.

Kurama smiled. "I've haven't been killing anybody but what about you, Spirit Detective?"

Yusuke smiled at his former profession name. Botan had managed to find Kurama as an exceptional guinea pig for the Spirit Detective opening and he was glad. The job took too much out of him and Keiko. He didn't need to be on the verge of danger anymore. He had a family to take care of and he was not about to put them in danger.

"Hey! Urameshi, Kurama what are you guys doing here?" Kazuma Kuwabara asked as he led his girlfriend, Yukina into the circle.

Kuwabara's and Yukina's eyes went wide once they saw the little bundle in Yusuke's arms. "Wow Urameshi I didn't realize you had a kid." He neared the child's face and laughed. "It's a good thing he took after Keiko in the looks department. Imagine how he would've looked with your face!"

Yusuke grabbed Kuwabara's shirt. "Oh yeah? Well how would you like it if I rammed your head into the pavement like the good old days?"

Kurama shook his head. A hundred years could pass and Yusuke and Kuwabara would still be rivals.

"Well, well, well it looks like the Urameshi team is reunited again isn't it?"

All six of them turned to the familiar voice. It belonged to Hiei, the three-eyed demon who had turned into a much kinder demon by his soul mate, Mukuro.

"Well hey short stuff! Looks like everybody decided to cruise this road today." Kuwabara commented. Hiei looked at him and chuckled. "Watch it Worthless."

Kuwabara grimaced. He really hated that nickname, although he knew it was just Hiei's curious form of endearment.

Mukuro gently wrapped her hand around Hiei's. "Don't mind him, he's just excited about seeing all of us reunited after five years."

For a minute Kurama felt lost. His polite smile was fixed on his lips but that wasn't the way the fox demon was feeling on the inside.

The truth was that the way everybody seemed to have a perfect soul mate was causing Kurama to feel lonely. Yusuke, Kuwabara, even Hiei had all found their perfect match. They all had somebody to love them with their life. Kurama didn't. Maybe it was his fault, maybe it wasn't but the incredible loneliness that he felt couldn't be ignored in such a loving crowd.

"Well this is an interesting surprise. I didn't expect to find every one of us here." Kurama said lightly, trying to bury his lonely feeling.

"Hell yes this is! Now I can show off my perfect family!" Yusuke said, excitedly.

The statement made Kumara feel worse but he kept his face polite, with just a hint of amusement, just like always.

Kurama walked home to his apartment later that night with his head and stomach full. The four men had revivied some of their dangers including the time when they had to fight the four Saint Beasts. It had been a trip to the past when the remembered the endless times in which they almost died.

Of course, they were all healthy and strong now, even though they didn't use their powers much. Yusuke could still shoot his Spirit Gun as strong as ever but he had to use much energy to pull it off. The same was true for Kuwabara's Spirit Sword. Kuwabara could still form the sword and attack somebody with it but the strain was exuberating. Hiei rarely used his Jagan Eye anymore. Yukina was in the best hands with Kuwabara and as grungy as Hiei was, he knew his sister was safe with him.

Kurama had even more power than he had originally had. His Rose Whip had intensified with the new energy and now he could bring out five or six Rose Whips at the exact same time. There were some good sides to the whole Spirit Detective, but, according to Yusuke, there were some good things you had to give up in order to do a better good.

Kurama tried to clear his head. This was the first time he had ever doubted the generous profession he was leading. Being a Spirit Detective was the best thing that had ever happened to him. He helped many people in the Demon, Spirit, and Human World. There was no turning back for Kurama. There was nobody he could give up this profession for.

"Alright girl we'll go easy on you if you give us all the cash you got."

The rough, dry, hostile voice was the kind of voice that Kurama silenced forever in his profession.

It wasn't hard, with his extraordinary hearing, to pinpoint the direction of the molester's voice so Kurama stealthily walked near.

There were four men surrounding a girl. She was badly beaten and bruised. Obviously the men had already beaten her.

One of the men walked closer to his victim and grabbed her roughly by her hair. She started to scream but he covered her mouth with his hand. Then another man quickly held the girl back while the two others started to rip her clothing. The tears were falling down her cheeks as she struggled to let herself loose.

The anger Kurama felt towards those men was nothing like he had ever felt before. The force of their desire against the poor girl was sickening. How dare they touch her with that roughness?

"I suggest you let her go." Kurama said, struggling to keep his voice leveled and polite, the same as it was always.

The four men turned to face him. One of the men smiled and threw the girl against the brick wall. She fell against the wall and dropped to the floor, unconscious.

Kurama had to work hard to control his anger. "Please leave now or I shall be forced to use more extensive methods to make you."

The obvious leader of the gang stepped forward. "Oh yeah? Whatcha gonna do about it pretty boy?"

Kurama grimaced. Then he swiftly waved his red hair at the criminals and took four seeds out of his hair. He threw them at such speed at the criminals that they didn't even blink in time. Vines sprouted from the seeds and wrapped themselves around the criminals.

"What-what the hell is this mess?" the leader asked, with his voice full of fear.

Kurama closed his eyes. "Your tomb." He said as he closed his hands and the four delinquents screamed and finally tumbled to the floor. Kurama hadn't really killed them but the desire to do so was almost irresistible.

He took no regard for the unconscious human beings and sped towards the girl. She was bleeding on her arms and legs. Her body was bruised and she had a sharp wound in her abdomen. Kurama ran his fingers over the wound and his eyes widened.

It was a gunshot wound.

"Kurama!" Botan's voice came out ringing through the night. She had just finished sensing Kurama's burst of energy through her compass.

"Botan we have to get this girl quickly to the hospital!" he exclaimed as he started to pick her up.

Botan peered closer at the girl and gasped. It was the same girl that had figured out the secret of the Spirit World seven years ago. She pulled out her phone and called Koenma as quickly as she could.

"Koenma sir we have a problem. Relli Darau is practically lying in her death bed right now." There was a slight pause. "Yes she's still alive but-" "Save her at any cost!" Koenma said, with his voice loud enough for Kurama to hear it.

Kurama was confused. Since when did Botan know this girl, Relli? Botan shut the phone.

"It's no use Kurama. We have to save her right now or she's dead. There's no time to get her near a hospital."

Kurama gently settled her on the floor and tried to save Relli Darau.
