Hello readers! I'm gonna try something new, so don't beat me with tomato shish kabobs if I screw up badly. ; Evil tomatoes of Doom…

Hiei: You complain about tomatoes too much.


*stuffs Hiei into a closet* Evil muse… Anyway, it's a Yu Yu Hakusho/Inuyasha crossover. Yes, yes, I know, it has been done. I just wanted to try it out, considering I haven't written a YYH or Inuyasha story before. o_o;

Well, I hope you enjoy!


Detectives and Demons

Chapter 1: The Case is given

Yusuke Urameshi sat on the roof of his school boredly. He was cutting class again. The school bell had already rung, so he was sure Keiko would come up and scold him like she usually did.

Yusuke stared up into the sky.

"Man, I wish there was a mission or something," he complained to himself. "Then I would have something to actually do."

He sighed. He hadn't had a case in quite a while, though he figured that there weren't any deadly demons out there.

"Hello!" said a cheerful voice next to him.

"Gah!" Yusuke gasped, falling over. He glared at Botan, who had greeted him. "Don't do that!"

Yusuke was sort of relieved that Botan was there; because that probably meant that he had a new mission.

Botan giggled. "Sorry Yusuke. But to the point… You and the others have a new mission!"

Yusuke acted like he was bored and uninterested. "Ok, ok, what's the scoop?"

"Koenma will let you know. He says it is much classified information, and that even I can't know of it," Botan said sadly.

"Whatever," Yusuke said. "When do I go?"

"After school. Take Kuwabara with you," Botan said.

"Whatever." Yusuke leaned against the wall.

Botan smiled. "See you then!" And with that, she disappeared. Yusuke absently wondered why she hadn't taken her oar.



-After school…-

The end of school bell rang. Yusuke and Kuwabara left the school.

"So, we gotta see Koenma?" Kuwabara asked.

"Yeah. Botan said that it was so important that even she wasn't told," Yusuke muttered.

Kuwabara hesitated. "Wait… but… how're we gonna get there?"

Yusuke stopped as well, and slowly turned to face his friend. There was a long pause. He glared at him and started shaking him by the collar. "Damn it! You should have said that earlier!"

"Gee Urameshi, I don't cut school like you do. How was I supposed to know?!" Kuwabara yelled. Yusuke let go of him and looked away.

"Well… we're screwed," Yusuke said, annoyed.

Botan appeared next to them. "Hello again!" the ferry girl said, causing both Rekai Tantei to fall over in surprise again.

Yusuke got up and yelled at Botan. "I TOLD YOU NOT TO DO THAT!" Kuwabara got up as well.

Botan ignored Yusuke's yelling, despite the impossibility. "I kind of thought you two would have no way to get over to Reikai…" she said.

The two boys stared at her, as if waiting for her to say something.

"Oh right…" Botan held up her hand and pulled her oar out of thin air. She mounted it. "Well, don't just stand there! Hop on!"

The high school delinquents nodded and mounted the oar, and they suddenly felt themselves shooting off into the sky, into the Spirit World.



Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Botan arrived in Reikai. They went into the palace, and entered Koenma's office. The demigod was stamping papers like mad, as usual. He stopped when he noticed they were there, and held up a hand.

"Yo!" He said.

"Yeah, yeah, yo to you too," Yusuke muttered.

"Uhhh…." The idiot Kuwabara looked around, as if something were missing. "Guys? Where are Hiei and Kurama?"

"They were to be here as well, but they haven't showed up yet," Koenma responded, looking around a bit as well.

"Ah, they'll show up," Yusuke said.

As if on cue, the doors of the office opened. Kurama and Hiei entered the room.

Kurama looked at Koenma apologetically. "Sorry we're late."

Hiei looked annoyed, as always. "Kurama had to stay after school to tutor some idiot ningen," he said. He received a few pairs of eyes glaring at him, but he didn't seem to notice.

Koenma only nodded and looked at Botan.

"Oh yes, right!" She said. "I'll just leave you guys alone then!" She left the room.

Hiei looked at Koenma. "Alright, so what's this mission that even the ferry girl can't know about?" he asked.

"Well… it's a big secret because…." Koenma trailed off.

"Because?" Kurama said.

"Because it messes with another dimension," Koenma finished.

The Reikai Tantei looked at each other.

"Why's this so drastic?" Kuwabara asked. "I mean, if it's in another dimension, then it doesn't concern us."

"Yeah, really," Yusuke said as well.

Kurama looked at them. "Well, if it is to be an important mission, then this other evil must have something to do with our universe." Then the kitsune looked at Koenma. "Right?"

The demigod nodded.

"This demon is supposed to be an evil of another universe," he said nervously. "But somehow, he has found a way to travel to different universes as well. He might cause some trouble. That's why—"

"We have to stop him," Hiei finished in a dull voice.

"Yes."

"Man, I'm confused," Yusuke complained.

"Aren't you always confused?" Hiei asked.

"No, that's Kuwabara," Yusuke said.

"Same difference," The koorime smirked. Kuwabara and Yusuke glared at him.

"That's enough," Koenma said. "I'll open you a portal in 3 days. Be ready for a long mission by then. And please of said your good-byes, I won't be in the mood for crying and byes and such." Kurama nodded in agreement.

"Hn," Hiei said.




Well, that's it for the first chapter! I know it sucks, don't rub it in. It's my first shot at this, so I'm probably not as experienced. Well, that is about it. I might update soon!
