Hi everyone! I don't own either Yu Yu Hakusho, or Saiyuki. Just my own characters, and the plot that this story builds around. I apologize if the characters are... weird or out of their character, but I REALLY wanted to write this down, so hopefully you will enjoy it.


In Heaven

In a paradise, or Heaven as it was known, a beautiful Goddess was sitting in her throne and gazing into a bond full of Lotus flowers. Her beauty could not be compared to anything else, but this was the Merciful Goddess, Kanzeon Botatsu herself, and she seemed to be very displeasured. She let out an annoyed sigh. There hadn't been much action with Sanzo's group, and Kanzeon had become very bored.

"Botatsu-sama, what is it the matter?" Her loyal assistant, Jiroushin asked, concert look over his face. It wasn't very strange to see Kanzeon bored, but lately, she seemed to be extremely down. She had even done her paperwork to kill her boredom!

Goddess sighed again, and gazed down into the calm water.

"I'm bored Jiroushin. There has been ABSOLUTELY nothing entertaining happening in the mortal world, and I'm ready to go down there and unseal that Monkey's memories JUST to so that there would be SOME KIND OF TURN ON THE EVENTS!" Kanzeon growled as she slammed her arm against her chair.

"Botatsu-sama! That is absurd!" Jiroushin exclaimed, horrified by his boss' attitude.

"Oh, relax Jiroushin. I wouldn't do that, even if I wanted to." Kanzeon waved off her assistant's worries as she gazed at the bond. "But I really would like it if there was little more going on down there. Maybe I should bay them a visit? That would certainly give some entertainment." Kanzeon's smirk was worrying enough, but the way her eyes were glinting with mischief was what made Jiroushin wary.

Something caught his boss's interest.

"I hope that you aren't planning something that would cause more problems, Botatsu-san." Jiroushin raised an eye brow as the Goddess just chuckled mischievously before standing up.

"Where are we heading Botatsu-san?" Jiroushin asked as he fell into steps behind his boss'. Kanzeon just chuckled, smirk playing on her lips.

"We are going to visit a friend of mine. Last time I saw him, he mentioned something about troublesome humans, and I think I know how to end my boredom." Jiroushin just sighed warily, having a hunch of where this was going.

"I just wish you could have some more reasonable time passing methods." Kanzeon just laughed at her assistant's misery.


A while later, in the Spirit world...

"Why, isn't this a rare sight, what do I own the pleasure of your presence Kanzeon Botatsu?" Asked Koenma in his teenager form, trying to look little more mature. He had immediately changed his form when he heard that the Goddess was coming for a visit. (And he was more than well aware that his pacifier must have made him look rather odd, but the Goddess never questioned it, having an idea of it's true purpose.)

Koenma had met Kanzeon long time ago, and they had clicked immediately. Not in romantic way mind you, but more as friends. The age different between them was... Well, very hard to describe, since the Goddess had been around who knows how long and Koenma was over 660 years old! But as they had some things in common, they got along rather well.

"Oh, safe the formalities Koenma." Kanzeon waved off Koenma's greeting with her hand, her smirk growing. Koenma took one look at Jiroushin, and he got a pretty good idea of what was going on.

"I see that you have become rather bored my friend. Take a seat, and tell me why you are here." Koenma told with an unimpressed expression.

"Hm? What, I can't come to visit my old friend just to say hi?" Kanzeon chuckled, but still sat opposite of Koenma. Koenma chuckled at Kanzeon's words, and leaned his chin against his hands, elbows on top of the table.

"You can, and I wouldn't mind it if you did it little more often, but from what I can see from Jiroushin's state, and the way you look rather mischievous, I would say that you aren't here just for any chit-chat." Koenma commented, making Kanzeon grin.

"You are sharper than you look Koenma. And you are right. I have been rather bored for a while now, I even did my paperwork to pass some time!" Koenma's yaws dropped rather comically. "I know, shocking isn't it? But just now, I found something rather interesting from the lower world, and I'm sure you'll be interested to know about this too."

Koenma gathered himself, trying to shook of the shock and rised an eyebrow. "Do tell, I'm all ears." Kanzeon's grin dropped as she crossed her legs and leaned her head against her arm.

"Does the name Minoru Kita sound familiar?" And Koenma become very tense and serious at that.

"What did you find out, Botatsu?" Kanzeon did give a small smirk, thought it was far cry from her normal mischievous one.

"It seems that this time the rat has made it's nest under my home."


On earth...

It had been five months since Uremeshi Yusuke had returned from Demon world, and he had FINALLY confessed to Keiko, leading to that they were now officially dating. Kuwabara was still visiting Genkai and Yukina all the time, (trying and failing miserably to gain Yukina's heart), and Yusuke companied him every now and then. Kurama visited them too, but mostly he spent his time with his family, or in the Demon world. Hiei was still doing the patrols, but Kurama had finally managed to get him to come see Yusuke and others a little more often.

At the moment, they were at the mountains that Genkai owned, fooling around. Or in other words, having spars with each others.

Kuwabara was holding pretty well up against Kurama, who was using his rose whip. Hiei and Yusuke were doing hand to hand combat, but they both were even in power and speed. Genkai and Yukina, or any others of the girls weren't with them, since they had decided to let the boys catch up with each others in peace. The boys had bagged their things and agreed to have three days of vacation in the forest.

"Oi Hiei! Is that all you got?! Don't tell me those patrols have made your skills become rusty!" Yusuke teased as he jumped out of Hiei's kick's way. Hiei just grinned, throwing his jacket aside, leaving him with his black tank top, pants and boots.

"Why don't you see for yourself Uremeshi?! You seem to have been slacking off, your punches aren't even tickling me!" Hiei claimed back as he sent a new set of kicks towards Yusuke.

Yusuke grinned goofily as he countered Hiei's kicks with his hands. His own jacket had been thrown out at the very start, leaving him with his usual yellow shirt, jeans and sneakers.

"If they aren't even tickling you, then why are you sweating so much Hiei?!" Yusuke laughed as he started punching Hiei, who didn't answer in favour of dodging them.

"Sounds like they are in high spirits." Kurama commented little ways from them, as he jumped up to dodge Kuwabara's wooden katana.

Kuwabara had been training his swordsman skills, and he could give a rather hard fight with his wooden katana. He had been told that he could definitely use a real one properly, but Kuwabara had stated that he disliked killing, if he could avoid it, and said that the wooden katana was just for self protection.

(That didn't mean that he was any less of a danger with the wooden sword than a real one...)

"Yeah?! Well I could say same about you Kurama!" Kuwabara grinned as he guarded himself from Kurama's whip with his sword. He could use his spirit sword, but he felt like he should only use it when it was completely necessary. After all, it was rather draining to use.

Kurama and others took this as a challenge, of course.

"I can't deny that. It has been a while since we have been together like this." Kurama agreed as he retreated his whip, dancing around the wooden sword. Kurama had on a purple martial arts shirt with red sash, along with white pants and brown martial arts shoes.

"Wow, Kurama! Is it just me, or do you get faster every time we spar?!" Kuwabara exclaimed as he jumped back to avoid a rather nasty kick. He had jeans and sneakers like Yusuke, but he also had a black T-shirt and a Jean jacket.

"You have also improved Kuwabara. Your attacks are much faster and focused now." Kurama commented, and started a set of kicks with a smirk playing on his face.

"But that won't be enough to beat me." Kuwabara also smirked as he caught Kurama's leg with his sword and sent his own leg to return the kick, that Kurama parley caught.

"We'll see about that." And so they went on. Suddenly thought, the sky lighted up, forcing them to stop and cover their eyes.

"What the-?!" Yusuke was interrupted as they were swallowed but the light, leaving the forest empty.


In Spirit world...

When Yusuke and others came back to their senses, they were all lying around on the floor of oddly familiar office. They found their bags lying next to them, like they had left them there.

"What in the hell?" Yusuke cursed as he sat up, massaging his head. Others followed his example, and they all saw Koenma and rather beautiful lady standing in front of them.

"So these are the boys you told me about, Koenma. They sure do look interesting." The lady commented with a lazy smirk, leaving Yusuke and others wary/confused/un-able to response.

"Um... Thanks?" Yusuke said, unsure of he said the right thing, before he shook his head and turned to look at Koenma as he and others stood up.

"Okay Koenma, what now? More lunatics who want to destroy the world?" Yusuke grunted, as small smirk played on his lips. Koenma just sighed tiredly, before getting serious look over his face, making Yusuke and others tense up.

"I seriously wish it was as simple as Dark tournament or with Suzaku." Koenma sighed before telling them to sit down on some chairs he had. "Do sit down, this will take some time." Glancing at each others, they sat down.

"You see Yusuke, as you know, there is Spirit world, Demon world and Human world. But what you didn't know, is that there are TWO separated Human worlds. Alterative universe, if you mind. But in this universe, humans and demon's live in harmony with each others. Well, that is until recently. Someone has been trying to break seal of a cruel Demon lord, named as Gyomaoh who refused to live alongside humans, with forbidden mixture of science and dark magic making the demons of Shangri-La inflicted by madness and shattering the fragile peace." Koenma explained, as Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei and Kurama tried wrap their brains around this.

"But that isn't why I called you here." And that worked as a cue for comical anime fall.

"You see, over five hundred years ago, there was extremely powerful demon in the Demon world. He wasn't quite as strong as S-class demons, but he wasn't far off either. He killed his own parents when he was merely week old, and he grew at alerting rate. However, he was badly injured when an S-class demon tried to kill him as a treat, and like our Kurama here, he sent his soul to your Human world, and possessed a body of newly born child, named as Minoru Kita. This time Minoru took his time to gather his strength, and he observed the world around him." Kurama looked rather surprised by this, he hadn't been aware that someone else had done the same as he did.

"However, unlike Kurama, Minoru become to dislike humans, as he saw them as a weak race that couldn't protect themselves. He started growing his strength and gathering demons to his side, forming an army. Minoru is the only known person who has come as close as he has, not to only take over the Human world, but also the Demon AND Spirit world." Everyone were shocked by this, minus Kanzeon, Koenma and Jiroushin who already knew this.

"... And just how close he got?" Kurama asked solemnly, thinking about their previous trials. Koenma's eyes were shadowed by his hair, and his lips were set on a firm frown.

"... Let's just say that if Sensui was a hard rock, then Minoru is a mountain made of steel." Koenma solemly admitted. "We barley managed to defeat him, and even then he escaped. I have been searching him for centuries, but I haven't got any luck until now." Koenma reached his hand out towards Kanzeon, before continuing.

"But Kanzeon Botatsu here, the Merciful Goddess herself, found sighs of Minoru from Shangri-La, and he seems to be making a portal between all four worlds, to end what he started." And then Koenma pointed his finger towards shocked/confused Yusuke, white-as-paper-Kuwabara, wary Hiei and mind-blown Kurama.

"And we want you four to find Minoru Kita, along with his followers, destroy the portal and bring Minoru and his six henchmen here, so they can be imprisoned." Koenma finished, watching as the four gapped/raised eye brow at him. Mentally, Koenma started a count down in his head.

'1,2,3...' And Yusuke hold up his hand, closing his eyes and holding the brick of his nose with his free hand.

"Let get this straight, you want us to go into alterative universe, that we have known nothing until now, ("Yep"), find some lunatic who is trying to take over four worlds, ("Yep"), and destroy some weird portal and come back like nothing happened?" Koenma grinned slightly, feeling amused.

"That's basically it." Yusuke opened his eyes and gave Koenma a blank look.

"... When the hell did my life become a fucking anime? Oh, right. After I died for the first time." Yusuke muttered, giving Koenma a rather heated gaze, to which he just shrugged to. "Hey, you were the one that jumped in front of that car." Koenma commented, before getting serious again.

"So you guys will do it?" Koenma asked, feeling himself tense up. Yusuke and others looked at each others.

"... I'm fine with it, as long as I get to kick demon asses again." Yusuke shrugged. Kurama closed his eyes and chuckled, before answering as well.

"Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt. I have been looking for some little harder exercises for a while, and since Yusuke seems to be fine with it, why not?" Yusuke grinned at Kurama, who smiled back, before they looked at Hiei.

"... I won't do it to safe the world. I just don't feel like having to deal with more idiot trespassing to Demon world . Again. Humans are more than enough of a headache. Besides, I could use a fight or two." Hiei finally stated, small smirk forming at the end. Yusuke looked rather victorious while Kurama just smiled calmly.

Kuwabara on the other hand looked rather conflicted.

"Not to be rude, Koenma, but I got three questions." Others looked at Kuwabara, waiting for him to continue. "One, how we are going to get there? Two, How the heck we are going to break this to my sis or Keiko? I don't think that they will like the idea of us running around somewhere where they can't come, and for who knows how long." Koenma interrupted Kuwabara there by raising his hand as a sigh of silence.

"For question two, you wouldn't need to say anything. And before you say anything, let me finish." Yusuke, Kuwabara and Kurama shut their mouths at that, listening again. "Better. Anyway, the time flows differently there and in your world. You could spent a month in there, and it would be barley a day on earth." Koenma explained, earning wide eyes and understanding nods.

"As for question one, Pu would work as your transformation. We'll open a portal for you to pass through, and when you are done, Pu would bring you all back, by opening a new one. It won't be much different from how you travelled from Human world to Demon world. Just this time there isn't barrier in the way." Koenma explained, and at the very moment he finished, the ogre Jorge Saotome stepped in with Pu.

"Gyy!" Pu cried out, opening his wings, as if showing off. The ogre closed the door, dodging out of the way as Pu hurried over to Yusuke.

"Hey, How are you, you over sided turkey?" Yusuke greeted, petting creature's head, who let out satisfied 'gyy'.

"Pu is ready to go any time you wish, sire." Ogre said. Koenma nodded and tuned to look at Kuwabara.

"What is your third question?" Koenma asked, feeling confident.

"Why am I here?" This threw them all off.

"I mean, I understand you would want someone like Yusuke, Kurama and Hiei for this, but why am I here? I'm aware of how weak I am compared to Yusuke or heck, even Pu is stronger than I am! And I have never even seen him fight!" Kuwabara exclaimed, making Kanzeon and Keonma blink.

"It's true that you are weaker than Yusuke or Kurama or Hiei, but that doesn't mean you're too weak for this mission. I need you to go there because of your Spirit sword. While Yusuke, Kurama and Hiei are strong, your blade is sharp enough to rip apart that portal. Also..." Koenma explained, making Kuwabara feel rather important as he waited for the teenager-toddler-uh, what the heck Koenma even is, to continue.

"...Because we are BORED!" Koenma and Kanzeon sighed at the same time, making Kuwabara fall comically, again.

"WHAT THE HECK KOENMA! YOU DAMN-!" Before Kuwabara could continue, or jump in to strangle Koenma, Jorge covered his mouth and hold him back. "Now, now, we still need mister Koenma here." Jorge tried to reason with the raging man, who could easily slide his head of.

"Anyway, any more questions?" Koenma asked, ignoring Kuwabara's struggles to kill him.

"Can you give us any information about Minoru? Or his location?" Kurama asked, standing up to look Koenma in the eyes.

"I can't give you much, since we don't have anything to begin with. And the information is pretty much useless, since the files are over five hundred years old." Koenma sighed, looking rather annoyed by this. Yusuke just waved it of with his hand.

"Yeah, yeah, I guessed as much. So? Anything else we need to know? For example, what was that about demons going mad?" Yusuke asked, now actually curious. Koenam turned to Kanzeon. "Do wish to have the honour? It is your territory anyway." Kanzeon just smirked.

"You don't need to worry about that. That shouldn't affect you, because you aren't actually from our world. And I have four people called Sanzo's group on that Gyomauh thing." Kanzeon's smirk turned rather mischievous again.

"You will probably meet them, since they have that sort of luck. There is a blond jerk with a scripture on his shoulders. His name is Genjo Sanzo, 33th Sanzo priest and a Buddhist monk (Thought he doesn't act like one). Then there is a Monkey with a golden diadem on his head, which, by the way, shouldn't be removed. His name is Son Goku, and he is always shouting about food." Kanzeon chuckled at this fondly.

"There is also a red haired and eyed playboy, a half demon Sha Gojyo, who can be rather annoying. And last but not least, there is Cho Hakkai, a man who become a demon. He has brown hair and green eyes, and he is rather cynical, thought he is also a very picture of a gentlemen. They also have this small dragon called Hakuryuu. They are rather interesting bunch." Kanzeon told, making them sweat drop.

"Oh, also, like Koenma said, most demons have gone mad, so if you are attacked by them, feel free to kill them. They are just an nuisance right now." Kanzeon added coldly. A short silence fell, before Koenma clapped his hands to get their attention.

"Well, anyway, we will drop you some ways away from a village, town, what the heck it can be called, but you have to leave Pu into the forest, since the people are... Rather jumpy when it comes to spiritual beings. And before you ask, no, you don't have any saying in this." Koenma said. "That should be all, so see ya~"

"Koenma, you son of-!" Before Yusuke could finish, he, Kuwabara, Kurama and Hiei all fell down, sound asleep.

"You know, I don't need to be a Godness to know that they won't be happy about that, Koenma." Kanzeon commented rather amusingly, as she poked the twitching Yusuke with her toes, to which Koenma just shrugged.

"Yeah, but it's not like this is the first time I have sent them to stop some crazy lunatic. They can't possibly hate me more than they already do." They were quiet for a moment, before they started laughing. Jiroushin and Jorge just looked at the side lines as their bosses laughed for no reason, with sweat drops.

".. You know, I have been thinking about changing my currier." Jorge commented, making Jiroushin chuckle.

"Even if I could, I wouldn't." Jiroushin stated, making the ogre shook his head.


So hi everyone, new and old readers! To my old readers, no worries, I won't abandon ANY of my stories.

My summer vacation started just now, and I wanted to write something little different to get into the mood of writing, and you know, get some motivation. I WILL make sure that my every story gets the ending it deserves, so no worries.

I will probably continue this, no, I will DEFINITELY continue this, but not just yet. Or who knows. Tell me your thoughts about this, and things you would want me to add or fix. Also, I don't have any other villains yet, other than Minoru I mean, so ideas are welcome!

Until we see again, See ya!
