Summary: The tournament is over and the team got their rest. Now it's time to get back on their feet with a new, understated, mission.

Warnings: NONE

Miscellaneous: This is my newest fanfiction idea. But there is a possibility that this could turn into a trilogy. Not quite sure yet. We will see where my mood takes me. For now, let's just enjoy what I have up, shall we?

~A New Mission~

~YUSUKE'S POV~

We beat the Toguro brothers and it's been a month since we came back, but I didn't go to school the whole time I was healing. Hiei disappeared, Kuwabara went back within three days, and Kurama went back the next day we got back. How he did it, I have no clue.

It began to feel weird not to even see Kuwabra for a minute of the day so I picked this special day to go to school. Still hating the uniform I jumped in my green one and walked off to school. Of course as soon as I got there I heard a mouthful from Keiko. Walking into the room my first sight wasn't Kuwabara but another student…that I don't remember. I have to admit I hardly came to school, but it really wasn't hard to remember who went to my class seeing as though the students never changed the whole year.

"Hey Yusuke, nice to see ya!" Kuwabara came up to me.

"Hey Kuwabara. I figured it would be nice to drop by."

"You sure you didn't just fall on your head?" Kuwabara tapped my head.

"Yes I'm sure!" I slapped his hand away. "Hey, who's the new kid?" I directed my attention back at the boy.

"Him? Oh he's Bryin. He came from America a month ago. But before I even got a chance to say hi, my friends jumped me. When I asked about him they straight up said 'He's a creep.' According to them when the teachers tried talking to him, getting him to participate and answer questions he wouldn't speak a word. Actually they said he won't even mumble. He's a complete mute. I figured maybe he spoke another language. They only yelled at me saying we're speaking the number one language American's do. Only other possible language is Spanish, which is still way off from what we speak of course. I always wonder if I should try talking to him, but whenever I do I end up getting dragged away."

"Oh." Was my only response. "So Kuwabara…"

"Yea?"

"What do you say you me and Kurama hang out today?" I completely went off topic.

"OH HELL YEA! Wait, does Kurama know?"

"Naw."

"We could mess up his schedule by popping in. Shouldn't we give him a call first?"

"Naw."

"Oh…uh…well okay then." Kuwabara laughed with a huge slugged look on his face like always.

After school me and Kuwabara ran off to Kurama's school hoping to catch him before he left the grounds.

"SUICHI!" I yelled as loud as I could as soon as I got him in my sights.

"Yusuke! Long time no see." Kurama responded when we got close enough.

Within an hour Kuwabara, Kurama, and I were walking the town in our uniforms. We got a surprise visit from Hiei who joined us after fifteen minutes of catching up with each other.

"Hey Shrimp, what are you doing here?" Kuwabara started pushing the dark demons buttons.

"Kowenma asked me here you big block of rock." Hiei retorted.

"Kowenma? Another mission?" Kurama asked.

"Hell if I know." Hiei looked another way. "He wants us to meet him at the center park." Hiei gave us the last bit of information then disappeared.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go-huh." I was interrupted when I caught eye of two guys picking on one. Unfortunately they looked to be from me and Kuwabara's school. "Uh…let me take care of this first." I walked up to the three. "Hey, you guys are in my way!" As soon as I yelled the two bullies looked up, dropped two colors of their skin tone and ran. All I could was smile. I still had it.

I looked down at the prey and it was…the new kid. He looked up at me; his face wasn't damaged much. A little scratched on the cheek and a busted lip. He completely whipped away the trail of blood and grabbed his stuff and stood up. He looked to have just got done food shopping.

"Hey kid you okay?" I asked him.

Once again he simply looked at me. He had the basic brown hair with light brown as highlights (naturally done). Unfortunately his eyes didn't match the rumors of piercing blue; they were dull, as if it hardly held any life. Skin; regular white. He quickly bowed at me and ran off without a sound. Kuwabara and Kurama walked to my side.

"He really doesn't make a sound." I stated.

"Really? That punk didn't say thanks to you? We outta teach that punk a lesson!" Kuwabara yelled.

I couldn't help but get irritated at the contradiction of helping him being punked, then punking him ourselves. But I let it slip by.

"Naw, let's just go meet pacifier breath."

Within the hour we were at the park meeting with Kowenma and Hiei.

"So what's the problem Kowenma?" I was already irritated by his presences.

"Nice seeing you too. Here's the deal-y-o. A demon, in demon world, has been spurring up our attention lately. Between conquering lands and becoming stronger at a superb rate, Spirit World has no choice but to wonder what he is up too."

"So what exactly do you want us to do? Doesn't seem harmful." Kuwabara started to think.

"Yet. At the moment we are still at peace with this demon. And while we are still at peace, I am sure what Kowenma is getting at, we must see what is on his mind." Kurama answered, being smart as ever.

"Exactly." Kowenma confirmed.

"In case you haven't noticed, I'm a fighter not a talker." This plan was useless to me.

"Indeed. Which is why I'm only informing you."

"Wait, now I'm really confused." Kuwabara looked as if he would pass out any minute.

"He's only telling us in case something does happen. In the mean time me and Kurama are the ones going in." Hiei jumped in.

"Me and Hiei? Kowenma, like Yusuke, Hiei isn't much of a negotiator." Kurama tried to get the concept of this as well.

"I said the same thing but the baby doesn't want to listen." Hiei agreed with Kurama.

"Settle down, settle down. Allow me to explain. Kurama, we all know out of everyone you are the best at negotiating. So I figured it would be best to just send you in to get as much information as possible. But then I went into the 'what ifs' and figured it wouldn't be bad to plan for an attack either. Even though Yusuke would do you justice inside a giant castle filled with guard demons, I figured Hiei would be even better." Kowenma only made the smudge non-sense even more smudged.

"I still don't get it. Try breaking it down a little more." I cocked my head to the side.

Letting out a sigh Kowenma continued. "You guys cut Hiei short. Unfortunately so does Hiei himself. Even though he's more cut throat like you, Yusuke, he still knows when to shut up and gather information. If Kurama was to, surprisingly, miss something Hiei will, hopefully, be able to catch on. While on the other hand, you would think Kurama has it all and leave it at that."

"That makes sense." Kuwabara finally came back in.

"So in the mean time you want me and Kuwbara to wait? Exactly how long should this take?" I wasn't too comfortable leaving the mission up to Hiei and Kurama alone. It wasn't that I didn't trust them, especially since they are still considered to help me in any way possible until their time is up. But something just didn't feel right. Like something would go wrong…even if I was there.

"They will start tomorrow. That is when your spring break starts. Within that time they should be back a day before your spring break should ends." Kowenma finished.

"Think you can handle it Kurama?" I tried to reassure myself.

"Naturally." Kurama smiled.

With a positive answer only gave me more of a negative impact. Something really didn't feel right.
