The Battle of the spirits: The return of Toguro
Part one: A fox to remember
It was a cold day in Alaska and I was just getting into my car when I saw a flash of light come down from the sky and crashed into a hill close by. I ran to see what had happened and found a huge crater. Within this crater was a girl, who had long black hair and was wearing a red and green dress. I noticed something else; she had fox ears coming out of her head. "Hey down there, you ok?" I asked. There was no response. I walked down to see if she was ok. I found her breathing but knocked out. I scooped her up and carried her inside to my apartment. I put her on my futon I had, and went to get a cold wash cloth for her head, which had a nasty cut on it. I came back into the room with the cloth and cleaned her cut and bandaged it up. While doing this I heard her moan and start to move. I couldn't help but stare at her fox ears, but they were so cute on her. They twitched as she came to. I came closer to her face and said. "Hey, you ok there?" She opened her eyes and sat up. She put her hand on her head right where the cut was. "Ow, man that hurts, yeah I am fine." She then finally looked around at my room and got really scared. I put my hands up as if to say "I am not your enemy here." "sorry about this, but you were knocked out and I had to carry you here to my house to clean your cut." "I hope I didn't make you mad." Just as I was getting up to move away from her I slipped on some clothes that I hadn't picked up and fell into her. As I was falling I reached out to stop myself, which happened to be on her chest, and I squeezed as I righted myself. She screamed again and this time I was hit by a lightning bolt. I became a pile of ash as she was yelling "pervert, pervert." I collected myself and said. "Hey I am sorry about that I really am I slipped on some clothes here and I fell into you.
I dusted myself off and touched the place where the lightning had hit me. "OUCH!!!!!!" I cried as I look at the burn. "You know, you got to try to be nice to the people that helped you out of a crater." Rei looked at me and smiled slyly. "Serves you right, you pervert." "Hey I told you not to call me that." I pointed at a cut on her cheek that went from her eye to her mouth. She looked at me and then moved her hand over the cut. She gasped in surprise and traced it the whole length of the cut. "Yes I stopped the bleeding and I bandaged your wound there, it would seem you are not as tough as you look." She blushed at the thought of me tending her wounds. "Th...Thank you, I am sorry about the lightning, it was a reflex when I get scared or angry sometimes my powers just happen." I walked over to her and placed a hand on hers. "It is alright, no harm done. I did help you, you know, oh yeah I didn't even tell you my name." "I am Keichi Toya." She got up and said. "I am Rei Minamino, it is good to meet you, ummm what do your friends call you by?" I looked at her and said. "They call me Kei for short." She came over to me and shook my hand and said. "Hi, my name is Rei, and I am so so sorry about that little lightning thing, that was a reflex that happens when I am scared or in danger." I rubbed the place where the lightning had hit me, then looked back at her and stared again at her cute ears. She shifted uncomfortably knowing I was staring at something and she finally asked. "What is it you find so fascinating about me that you have to stare?" I looked away and blushed, but answered. "I am sorry I can't help it but I love those fox ears on you they are so cute." Rei moved her hands to each ear and gasped, turned away and blushed. She still couldn't get her full human form down and she was embarrassed to have a real human see her fox ears. She then turned to me and said. "Kei, These "Cute" ears as you call them are part of my true form, which is a Youko, a spirit fox demon, I am still learning how to take the form of humans." I scratched my head puzzled at what she has just said. "Youko?? WTF is that??? I have never heard of a spirit fox before. Is it a new breed of wild fox?" I asked. She got a teardrop on her forehead and said. "No that isn't it I come from the spirit world where demons and other creatures live." "Haven't you heard of the great Urameshi??' After saying Yusuke's name she smiled slyly as if she were in love with him. I sat down taking all of this in and getting even more confused by the second. "The great Urameshi??? Now you got me completely lost now." I said with a great question mark coming out of my forehead.
She then sat down and told me of Yusuke and all his friends especially Kurama, her cousin who also was a fox demon. She told tales as vividly as if she were there about how Yusuke got killed and how he got his life back and then he cases as the spirit detective of the earth. She also told of a great swordsman by the name of Hiei, who also was a demon but a different kind of demon. She told of Keiko, Yusuke's girlfriend, with some remorse at the fact Yusuke was taken, but she went on. I asked her one question after she had finished her tales of Yusuke and Kuwbara. "Okay this Yusuke guy seems rather tough, and also nice in a way, but how did you get to meet him?" "It seems you are not in the stories you are telling but your cousin and Hiei are in them as well, where do you fit in?" Rei looked at me and thought about it for a minute. She had never really told any human her whole story of how Kurama had found her after her parents had died, but she decided to trust me with her past and told me.
It turns out her parents were killed by one of the Toguro brothers gang members. They were killed as punishment to all who would stand against them. They served as examples as to never cross the Toguro Brothers. Rei was only 7 years old when this had happened, and she could only remember some of the details to tell me but she went on to tell of how she met Kurama for the first time. It was established that Kurama and her were related by blood in some way and since he was her only living relative, he took her in and raised her as his own. Then he was approached by Hiei to help him try to control the world but Kurama had only one desire, to save his human mother's life, and he needed only one of the artifacts Hiei had taken. It turned out that he loved his human mother so much and he had grown attached to a being human. The artifact that he acquired was the Forlorn Hope. A mirror that grants the desire of the summoner with one wish but at the cost of the person's life. Yusuke had interfered with this exchange Kurama's life for his mothers and he wanted both to live so he tried to sacrifice himself instead of Kurama. The mirror was impressed by this selfless act and decided to spare both Kurama's life and Yusuke's as well. After that they had become close friends and powerful allies.
I sat back in my chair sipping my Vanillia Coke, listening to her story. When she was done I asked. "Wow, that was a great story, so where is this Boton you keep talking about?" "Can you call her or something?" She looked at me and grew sad. I jumped up and said. "I'm sorry I thought you could...." I trailed off as I saw her expression. She came over to me and looked up into my eyes. "I don't know where Boton is." "I seem to have lost her, but I know that you seem to be a nice man." She then wrapped her arms around me and hugged me. This was such a shock to me, from having been struck by lightning to being hugged by a cute girl, I seem to have made a good impression, except for the chest squeezing. She then released me and sat back down and said . "I will tell you how I got here or at least what I remeber." I nodded and sat back down.
It started a week ago:
Kurama was just about to get Rei up for a big day with him when Hiei appeared and told him of a break in at the weapons vault. He also told Kurama that they had been put on the case to find who did it. He then walked over to the front door and was about to set off when Kurama said. "Wait Hiei, I have to get Rei up and have her take Yususke his new case, since I won't be able to do it." He walked to the stairs and went up to get Rei up for her big assignment. Hiei followed him and said. "She idolizes Ysuske you know, why have her do it?" Kurama turned to Hiei and said. "This is the best way for her to practice her human form, besides it will do her good to get out of spirit world for a while." He then proceeded to Rei's bedroom door. He knocked on it softly and then entered to see her laying quite entangled in her sheets, as usual. He gently brushed her face and then gently shook her to wake her. "Rei, my little flower, wake up, I have something to do now." He whispered. Rei woke up slowly, rubbing her eyes, and said. "Good Morning, snow-fox." She said sitting up and also saw Hiei. "Oh, hi there Uncle Hiei." Hiei had always never been fond of offspring, but this girl was sort of growing no him and he hated to be called soft, but there was just something soothing about her he couldn't quite figure out. He actually loved Rei like his sister Yukina. He would help protect her from harm. He nodded at her and smiled slightly. "Hi little one." She got up and walked over to him and hugged him. He got this "eww" look on his face but still smiled. She then walked over to Kurama. "Snow fox, what is it you wanted to tell me?" She looked at him with puppy eyes. Kurama produced the file and the dvd. "Here is what I want you to take to Yusuke for me. This is his next case and I want you and Boton to tell him about it." Rei's eyes grew wide as Yusuke's name was mentioned. "You mean I actually get to talk to Yusuke?" She said excitedly. Both Kurama and Hiei got sweatdrops on their heads. Kurama smiled at Rei and said. "Yes dear, you get to meet Yusuke again and this time try not to drool." Rei stuck her tongue out at him and shooed them both out of her room to get dressed. She raced around trying to find stuff Yusuke would like to see her in. After ten mnutes she came out and presented herself.
They all went downstairs and proceeded to the door. As they came to it an English voice was head outside the door. "Kurama, Hiei; Koenma wants to see you right away." Kurama opened the door to reveal a girl about 5 foot 1 with a pink Kimono on and she had blue hair. In her right hand was her Oar, for which she used for flying on. Kurama bowed at the sight of her and said "Come in Boton, Hiei and I were just leaving." Rei came over to Kurama and had a sad look on her face. "How long will you be gone?" She asked. Kurama knelt down and looked into her face. "I really don't know, it might take a while, there was a break in at the weapons vault, so Hiei and I are going to investigate, besides that file you are to give Yusuke is, I hope, part of this whole situation." She hugged him and started for the door, Boton right behind her, as they walked outside, Rei turned and waved goodbye to both Hiei and Kurama, and they flew off to find Yusuke. After that Hiei and Kurama left for the weapons vault.
An hour had passed since Rei and Boton had left her home, and Rei was getting restless. She was asking about the weapons vault and what kind of demon could break the seals on the vault itself. Botan was really not trying to be rude by ignoring her, but she didn't want to say that the demon Iserit was the one who had broken into the vault and stolen the Bracelet of Kerituse, and also was the one who killed her parents so many years ago. Botan finally turned to her and told her who was involved, not wanting to keep secrets from her, knowing the Kurama would tell her eventually. "Now Rei , honey, we kept this from you a long time because we didn't want you to go after him." Rei looked at Botan with a hurt expression on her face. "Why didn't you tell me about him, Botan, why didn't Kurama tell me either?" Botan gave her a small smile. "He had his reasons sweety, trust me, I know." With that they sailed off toward the place where they could enter the real world. As they were flying a demon appeared and swatted at Botan's oar, he hit the back of it and sent them both flying. He then came after Botan herself. Rei was knocked of the oar and was sent flying toward the River Styx. She screamed for Botan, but the demon had her in his hand and was carrying her off toward the Makai. Rei continuted to fall past the River Styx and into the clouds that were all around Spirit World. She fell through the clouds to Alaska where I found her.
"That's, I guess how I ended up here." Rei said and sat back against the chair. I was awe struck at the entire tale she just told me. I collected myself and asked. "So wehre is Botan now?" As Rei was about to speak she saw Botan appear behind me. She winked at her and put her finger to her lips going "shhhh" Botan tiptoed over to Rei and sat down. I couldn't see her of course, yet. Botan giggled and told Rei to tell me how cute I was. I blushed at that comment, which made Botan laugh harder. Rei got up and walked over to a small corner out of the way so Botan and her could talk. "What are you doing Botan?" "You trying to get me hooked up to him?" Botan giggled more and said . "No, no honey I like him he is really cute, I want to see if he likes blue haired girls." Rei then asked Botan. "How did you get away from that demon?" I looked at Rei puzzled at hearing her talking to herself, but I relaxed, thinking of all the times I had done it myself. Rei then turned to me and smiled and went futher into the house. Botan told her that Hiei and Kurama had found her and rescued her from the demon, which turned out to be a minon of Iserit. She also told her Kurama was looking for her. Rei came back in the living room with a new girl beside her. I gasped at the beauty of this new girl, but also was shocked at how thsi new girl had come in to the house. "Who are..are you?" I stammered. Rei walked over to me and whispered. "Kei, this is Botan." I got up and walked over to Botan. "Hi, I am Kei, it is very nice to meet you." I said blushing. Botan looked at me and smiled at me, which made me blush even more. "Nice to meet you Kei, I am Botan, the Grim Reaper of the Spirit World."
Part 2: The Break in
Meanwhile Kurama and Hiei were at the Vault, looking over things and trying to figure out who did it. The main door had been blasted away as if some huge force had just flicked it aside. Everyone that was there was running around yelling to help put ot fires and clear debris from the hole that used to be the vault door. Hiei was helping with removing the debris while Kurama was questioning some witnesses. The one that he was talking to now looked a lot like Jeorge but was not blue, he was red and had wings with a few streaks of silver in his hair. He looked ghost with though now, shaking and looking far off in the distance like he could not see anyone else except the horror he had seen. Kurama was trying to calm him down so he could talk but he didn't seem to be succeeding, he kept stammering words that no one could understand and then he would scream "It isn't possible, he is dead, there is no way he could have survived." Kurama scratched his head in puzzlement. He sighed. They had been at the vault only three hours and they still had no clue as to who or what had destroyed the vault and stolen the Bracelet. He turned to see Hiei talking to some more witnessess. He got up and walked over to him. It had seemed to both of them that whoever did this knew what the bracelet did. Finally Hiei stopped talking to the person he was questioning and walked to Kurama. "Have you got anything new, Hiei?" Kurama asked. Hiei snorted in disgust. "Nothing, either these fools didn't see anything or they are just too scared to talk about it." Hiei then looked at the place where the bracelet was. "Fox, any word from Koenma on the Bracelet that was stolen?" Kurama shook his head no but did say something. "I know of this weapon, I, once had to use it to revive a friend of mine with it." Hiei looked at him in shock. "You know what this thing can do and you didn't tell Koenma?" Kurama sighed again and said. "Yes, I didn't tell Koenma, becasue he already knows about the bracelet and what it can do, Come on Hiei he is King Yama's Son after all." Hiei laughed at that and nodded. "You have a point, Fox." "What else can this bracelet do?" Kurama sat down and leaned against the vault door. "The bracelet can also, when worn, focus and enhance sprirt energy, either to be used as a shield or something like Yusuke's Sprirt Gun."
As they were about to set off to tell Koenma what they had found, Koenma appeared in front of them and looked worried. Kurama got worried too. "Kurama, It is Rei, we can't find her or Botan anywhere!!" Koenma screamed. Kurama picked up the little ruler by his collar and said. "You had better tell me everyhting you know or so help me I will tear apart Spirit World looking for her!!!" Hiei looked at Kurama, he had never seen him so angry before, he was backing away but was also worried about Rei too. Koenma struggled in Kurama's grasp. "We know where Botan was last seen but we have no idea where Rei is." Hiei came over to Kurama and said. Fox, put him down or we won't be able to find Rei." Kurama turned to Hiei with such a fire in his eyes Hiei stepped back. "You want me to put this worthless little thing down when he can't even find my little flower!" Hiei then stepped up to him and grabbed Kurama's arm. "Put him down, Fox, we need him to locate Botan." Kurama put Koenma down. Koenma brushed out his shirt. "Now come you two I know where Botan is and who took her." With that he opened a portal to where Botan was and all three of then entered it and disappeared.
The portal disappeared and they were in a dark place. This was the Makai part of the Spirit world, which harbored demons and evil creatures that would love to take over the Spirit world if it wasn't for King Yama seals that kept them out. Hiei looked around and saw a tree not far away and went to look out from it. He saw a dark and murky place stretched out as far as he could see with lightning crackling every other minute. Kurama came up to the tree and asked Hiei. "What do you see, Hiei?" Hiei looked down and said. "I can't see anything." Hiei then scratched his head. Kurama looked at him puzzled. "What is it Hiei?" Hiei jumped down and looked at him. "Fox, transform into your demon form you have a better sense of smell then I do." Koenma joined them and said. "You know he is right, Kurama your sense of smell and sight are greatly increased whe you are in your demon form." Kurama looked down at the pint sized Ruler and gave him a sneer, but did change into his Youko form. Kurama's first smell was Botan but it was fading fast. He leaped from the cliff that they had been standing on and used his powers to make a vine like thing appear and he rode it towards Botan's scent. Hiei had lept onto his back and asked. "Fox, where are you going?" "It is Botan, I can smell her." he said to Hiei Koenma was right beside them as they flew towards a small island in a red sea.
The Battle of the spirits: The return of Toguro
Part one: A fox to remember
It was a cold day in Alaska and I was just getting into my car when I saw a flash of light come down from the sky and crashed into a hill close by. I ran to see what had happened and found a huge crater. Within this crater was a girl, who had long black hair and was wearing a red and green dress.

She put her hand on her head right where the cut was. "Ow, man that hurts, yeah I am fine." She then finally looked around at my room and got really scared. I put my hands up as if to say "I am not your enemy here." "sorry about this, but you were knocked out and I had to carry you here to my house to clean your cut." "I hope I didn't make you mad." Just as I was getting up to move away from her I slipped on some clothes that I hadn't picked up and fell into her. As I was falling I reached out to stop myself, which happened to be on her chest, and I squeezed as I righted myself. She screamed again and this time I was hit by a lightning bolt. I became a pile of ash as she was yelling "pervert, pervert." I collected myself and said. "Hey I am sorry about that I really am I slipped on some clothes here and I fell into you.
I dusted myself off and touched the place where the lightning had hit me. "OUCH!!!!!!" I cried as I look at the burn. "You know, you got to try to be nice to the people that helped you out of a crater." Rei looked at me and smiled slyly. "Serves you right, you pervert." "Hey I told you not to call me that." I pointed at a cut on her cheek that went from her eye to her mouth. She looked at me and then moved her hand over the cut. She gasped in surprise and traced it the whole length of the cut.

As Rei was about to speak she saw Botan appear behind me. She winked at her and put her finger to her lips going "shhhh" Botan tiptoed over to Rei and sat down. I couldn't see her of course, yet. Botan giggled and told Rei to tell me how cute I was. I blushed at that comment, which made Botan laugh harder. Rei got up and walked over to a small corner out of the way so Botan and her could talk. "What are you doing Botan?" "You trying to get me hooked up to him?" Botan giggled more and said . "No, no honey I like him he is really cute, I want to see if he likes blue haired girls." Rei then asked Botan. "How did you get away from that demon?" I looked at Rei puzzled at hearing her talking to herself, but I relaxed, thinking of all the times I had done it myself. Rei then turned to me and smiled and went futher into the house. Botan told her that Hiei and Kurama had found her and rescued her from the demon, which turned out to be a minon of Iserit. She also told her Kurama was looking for her. Rei came back in the living room with a new girl beside her. I gasped at the beauty of this new girl, but also was shocked at how thsi new girl had come in to the house. "Who are..are you?" I stammered. Rei walked over to me and whispered. "Kei, this is Botan." I got up and walked over to Botan. "Hi, I am Kei, it is very nice to meet you." I said blushing. Botan looked at me and smiled at me, which made me blush even more. "Nice to meet you Kei, I am Botan, the Grim Reaper of the Spirit World."
Part 2: The Break in
Meanwhile Kurama and Hiei were at the Vault, looking over things and trying to figure out who did it. The main door had been blasted away as if some huge force had just flicked it aside. Everyone that was there was running around yelling to help put ot fires and clear debris from the hole that used to be the vault door. Hiei was helping with removing the debris while Kurama was questioning some witnesses. The one that he was talking to now looked a lot like Jeorge but was not blue, he was red and had wings with a few streaks of silver in his hair. He looked ghost with though now, shaking and looking far off in the distance like he could not see anyone else except the horror he had seen. Kurama was trying to calm him down so he could talk but he didn't seem to be succeeding, he kept stammering words that no one could understand and then he would scream "It isn't possible, he is dead, there is no way he could have survived." Kurama scratched his head in puzzlement. He sighed. They had been at the vault only three hours and they still had no clue as to who or what had destroyed the vault and stolen the Bracelet. He turned to see Hiei talking to some more witnessess. He got up and walked over to him. It had seemed to both of them that whoever did this knew what the bracelet did. Finally Hiei stopped talking to the person he was questioning and walked to Kurama. "Have you got anything new, Hiei?" Kurama asked. Hiei snorted in disgust. "Nothing, either these fools didn't see anything or they are just too scared to talk about it." Hiei then looked at the place where the bracelet was. "Fox, any word from Koenma on the Bracelet that was stolen?" Kurama shook his head no but did say something. "I know of this weapon, I, once had to use it to revive a friend of mine with it." Hiei looked at him in shock. "You know what this thing can do and you didn't tell Koenma?" Kurama sighed again and said. "Yes, I didn't tell Koenma, becasue he already knows about the bracelet and what it can do, Come on Hiei he is King Yama's Son after all." Hiei laughed at that and nodded. "You have a point, Fox." "What else can this bracelet do?" Kurama sat down and leaned against the vault door. "The bracelet can also, when worn, focus and enhance sprirt energy, either to be used as a shield or something like Yusuke's Sprirt Gun."
As they were about to set off to tell Koenma what they had found, Koenma appeared in front of them and looked worried. Kurama got worried too. "Kurama, It is Rei, we can't find her or Botan anywhere!!" Koenma screamed. Kurama picked up the little ruler by his collar and said. "You had better tell me everyhting you know or so help me I will tear apart Spirit World looking for her!!!" Hiei looked at Kurama, he had never seen him so angry before, he was backing away but was also worried about Rei too. Koenma struggled in Kurama's grasp. "We know where Botan was last seen but we have no idea where Rei is." Hiei came over to Kurama and said. Fox, put him down or we won't be able to find Rei." Kurama turned to Hiei with such a fire in his eyes Hiei stepped back. "You want me to put this worthless little thing down when he can't even find my little flower!" Hiei then stepped up to him and grabbed Kurama's arm. "Put him down, Fox, we need him to locate Botan." Kurama put Koenma down. Koenma brushed out his shirt. "Now come you two I know where Botan is and who took her." With that he opened a portal to where Botan was and all three of then entered it and disappeared.
The portal disappeared and they were in a dark place. This was the Makai part of the Spirit world, which harbored demons and evil creatures that would love to take over the Spirit world if it wasn't for King Yama seals that kept them out. Hiei looked around and saw a tree not far away and went to look out from it. He saw a dark and murky place stretched out as far as he could see with lightning crackling every other minute. Kurama came up to the tree and asked Hiei. "What do you see, Hiei?" Hiei looked down and said. "I can't see anything." Hiei then scratched his head. Kurama looked at him puzzled. "What is it Hiei?" Hiei jumped down and looked at him. "Fox, transform into your demon form you have a better sense of smell then I do." Koenma joined them and said. "You know he is right, Kurama your sense of smell and sight are greatly increased whe you are in your demon form." Kurama looked down at the pint sized Ruler and gave him a sneer, but did change into his Youko form. Kurama's first smell was Botan but it was fading fast. He leaped from the cliff that they had been standing on and used his powers to make a vine like thing appear and he rode it towards Botan's scent. Hiei had lept onto his back and asked. "Fox, where are you going?" "It is Botan, I can smell her." he said to Hiei Koenma was right beside them as they flew towards a small island in a red sea.
