"Aw, dang! Well, I guess this is the place." Yusuke exclaimed. Hordes of lower class demons rose from the rough dirt and attacked Kuwabara and Yusuke. They struggled with the massive amounts of demons until two demonic bursts of energy drove them away. Yusuke and Kwabara walked towards a hill with a large tree in the weary landscape. There were two 'people' standing on the tree's branches after they emerged from bursts of demonic energy.
"That worked, whatever it was." Yusuke remorsed towards the new shadows in the tree.
"It seems like you could use some help." The taller one spoke.
"If those nothings were too much for you, we're going to have a problem." The shorter one said.
"Well, well, well, the thieves." Yusuke said with a smirk.
"Hello," Kurama greeted the humans who were new to demon world.
"Well what are you doing here?" Yusuke asked the former thieves.
"Even that fool Koenma knew it would take more than just human power to kill the saint beasts." Hiei replied with that usual tone.
"By aiding in this mission Koenma has assured us that we can clean our slates in spirit world." Kurama followed up a with more of an explanation.
Yusuke bubbled with laughter. "I guess he heard me complaining. Hey Kuwabara, let me introduce you to these guys. That's Hiei, and his name is Kurama."
"A pleasure." Kurama said to the new acquaintance.
"Well I don't have a clue of what's going on but it sure is nice to have a helping hand." Kuwabara grinned stupidly at them.
"Helping isn't the right word." Hiei stated, drawing attention of the others. "Koenma may see us as equals, but I do not. Once inside the castle, l suggest that you let us do all the work. As far as I'm concerned, we're babysitting."
Kurama chuckled at Hiei's words. However Kuwabara didn't find them as amusing.
"Hey you puny jerk face I'm gonna have to beat you up if you keep talking like that!" Kuwabara growled at Hiei.
"Let's avoid fighting. You're not worth it." Hiei retorted in an annoyed tone. Kuwabara's rage was doubled by Hiei's statement
"Oh, that's it!" Kuwabara grunted as he made a failing attempt to swing at Hiei and fell because of it.
"You, detective, are a different story. I plan on taking my revenge on you, so consider this a fair warning." Hiei stated.
"So you want to ignore me, huh?" Kuwabara said as he made another failing attempt of a punch.
"Now Hiei, you must face this current business before taking care of your own." Kurama directed.
"Don't worry, three eyes. If we survive this, I'll be glad to take you on." Yusuke said with Kuwabara bubbling in anger behind him. "Now is this a perfect team or what?" Kiwabara growled at Hiei while Hiei just turned her head.
Yusuke looked at Kuwabara with a surprised look. "Wow..."
"What, Urameshi?"
"Well, I've never seen you lash out at a girl before."
"Girl? What girl? I don't see any girl here." Kuwabara searched the dead land. Yusuke fully laughed while Kurama loudly chuckled. "What's so funny, guys?"
"Hiei's a girl, you dummy!" Yusuke tried to say through his laughing fit. Kuwabara stared at Hiei for a while. Hiei noticed his stare and glared back at him.
"Hiei?!" Kuwabara exclaimed. "Please tell me you're joking, Urameshi."
"The detective's not joking, fool!" Hiei snarled. Kwabara fell over out of shock while the two other males kept laughing. "I really don't care about how you view me as long as fear is existent." Kuwabara started looking Hiei up and down.
"I don't believe you." Kuwabara said as he squinted.
"And I don't care." Hiei said while walking off.
"Hey, wait for us!" Yusuke yelled at Hiei's back while running towards her. Kurama shrugged and followed them to the fortress.
