TARAPANDAES: well here is my story…. Hope people like it

Disclaimer apply!!

It was a peaceful night. The darkness of the night brought serenity rather than fear. Many people, adults and children alike, were sleeping peacefully in the comforts of their beds. But far from the quiet suburbs there stood a museum. The museum held many valuable artifacts that many thieves tried to steal and failed. The museum had tight security and those foolish enough to steal from it paid the consequences. And yet one still dared.

"I give you my word that today we will catch that petty thief!" A Japanese man that looked around 40 stood in front of the line of police. The man quietly gave each one of the men a look before nodding and smiling. "That thief will face her doom today! I assure you people with cooperation with the museum security and the Japanese police force we will definitely put her in jail. She had dared to mock us and today is the day where we will mock her! Do you understand me my loyal men. HA! I can't believe that she is stupid enough rob this museum! And now go to your positions. It's almost time for her to appear." With that the man was turned around to leave but someone stopped him.

"Umm… Detective Yamazaki?" The detective turned around and stared at the man who had called his name. "Detective Yamazaki, why did we shut down all the alarms? Wouldn't that help the thief?" the police asked

Detective Yamazaki smiled. "Aw so your wondering about my trap huh? Well you see this place has a very tight security and we don't want the thief to run away before she even tries to steal the gem right? So we are going invite her in and once she is inside we are going to close all gates to trap her in like the rat she is! Now to your position!" with that the police scattered and went and stood at their designated place.

In few minutes the scuffles of feet quieted down and there was complete silence in the big room. As the lights were turned off the only visible item in the grand hall was a single jewel that sparkled brightly as the moon light bounced off of it. Everyone in hiding held their breath. Their bodies were flowing with adrenaline from the anticipation of action. As time ticked by many of them became restless. Nothing was happening. There was not a single sign of the entry of the person whom they desperately wanted to catch. Then one of them spoke up.

"Uh… Detective Yamazaki?" someone whispered in the dark. It was the same man who had called the detective before. As no one answered back the police called the detective once more, but in a louder voice "Detective Yamazaki?"

"What do you think your doing? You're ruining our plan!" Detective Yamazaki whispered harshly at the man who was stupid enough to talk.

"But detective…. The sparkle from the jewel is gone…" the police whispered. As the man made that statement everyone in the room turned hesitantly toward the center afraid of what was there or in this case what was not their. In the center was the case that had held the jewel. But the jewel that was supposed to be safely inside was gone.

"Turn on the light come on hurry. She was here! And the jewel's gone. HURRY!" with that command the room erupted with light and sound as the police ran around the museum and its perimeter in search of the thief. "Catch her!" Detective Yamazaki yelled at his subordinates. "Get her! Don't loose her again! Come on faster! Catch the JACK!!" as the mob of police ran all over the place in chaos the Jack sneaked away silently from their grasp.

"Do they actually think they can catch me?" The thief known as Jack smiled as she jumped from roof to roof. "FREEDOM!" She yelled and in seconds a wing with many different colors of feather appeared on her back. And the Jack flew and disappeared from sight.

Next day

"Keiko did you hear about the Jack?" A girl with long black hair asked a girl with short brown hair known as Keiko.

"The Jack? Who's that?" Keiko asked

"You don't know the Jack?! Keiko have you been watching the news at all?"

"No, I was too busy studying for the finals." Keiko said unconcerned.

"Jack is a thief."

"Umm… Yuri there is thousands of worse criminals than thieves. Why would I worry about some thief name Jack?" Keiko asked after all she had seen things that were much worse than some petty human thief

"I can't believe what you're saying! You really don't know?" Yuri asked with bewilderment heavily laced in her tone.

"Uh…Yeah…" Keiko did not know what was so special about a thief and why all her friends were looking so shocked

"Jack is a thief that stole 15 of the greatest jewel in Japan! The whole police force is just waiting to get their hands on her. You see, Jack already escaped the police 15 times. And yesterday she managed to steal from a museum that was known to have the tightest security in the WORLD."

"Well most likely they'll catch him sooner or later." Keiko explained to her friends.

"Keiko you got something wrong."

"What?" Keiko asked.

"Jack isn't a him but a her." Keiko blinked.

"So Jack is a girl" Keiko stated "What so important about that?" She asked

"Well nothing really but what is very important is that Jack has wings! A wing of many different colors!" Keiko didn't know what to think. A girl with wings. That sounded more like a demon then human. Oh well

"Ok. Ok. I get it. A thief with wings. So why are you asking?" Keiko asked

"Oh we were just wondering who Jack was. After all she is the talk of the month." Yuri turned toward the other girls who were with them and Keiko saw as each one of them nodded in agreement with Yuri

"Well I'm busy so I'll see you guys later 'k?" Keiko said her goodbyes as she rounded the corner of the block that led to her house. As she left her group Keiko's friends resumed talking about the thief with wings.

As Keiko opened the door to her bedroom the phone rang. In a hurry Keiko rushed to the phone and picked it up

" Hello this is Keiko."

"Keiko? This is Yusuke..." the voice that came out from Keiko speaker was full of dread.

"Yusuke! Why are you calling? You better not cancel our date tomorrow! You have to come!" Keiko said even though she already knew what would happen.

Yusuke started to choke on the other line. Yusuke had called to tell Keiko that he could not go to the date because of a mission the stupid toddler had given him.

"Ah… hahahah. Well you see Keiko… I have a mission tomorrow…"

"Yusuke you jerk!" Keiko yelled and without further ado she slammed her phone down

Yusuke hated the toddler. He had to work tomorrow when he could go on a date with Keiko. Keiko who was his childhood friend and the only person who will ever own his heart.

"Ah that stupid toddler! Why tomorrow! Why!" Yusuke yelled and thought back to the conversation he had with Koenma.

"Yusuke this is very serious! Who ever this Jack person is She is very dangerous!" Koenma told Yusuke as soon as Yusuke had walked into the his office.

"What do you mean by dangerous? After all Jack is nothing but a thief." Yusuke asked.

"She might be a regular thief but the jewels she is stealing are dangerous!" Koenma explained with worry.

"What do you mean dangerous?" Yusuke asked

"The jewels she is stealing are counted as the world most beautiful. But that's not the important part. All of the jewels she stole are believed to have great power." Koenma explained

"Power? What power?"

"We only found out that the jewels has power nothing more. So I want you to capture Jack and get back the Jewels she stole." Koenma stated with great urgency

"You want me to capture a thief that has nothing to do with the Spirit world? You kidding me right?" Yusuke asked

"NO! I need you to capture her tomorrow. Jack already gave a letter of challenge to the police saying that she will steal the Eternal Tear." Koenma told Yusuke.

"Tomorrow! I can't! I have a date with Keiko!" Yusuke yelled at Koenma.

"Yusuke! You have to! This is important! The power of the jewel is unknown to us and it could be more dangerous then what we think as of now!" Koenma begged

"Fine!" With that Yusuke grudging had left the room as he stomped out with anger.

Now back home he regretted his decision. 'What kind of power did the Jewel have?" Yusuke wondered. How strong can it be! He also wondered who Jack could be. After all the whole thing of having wings made him wonder if Jack was a demon. 'How can Koenma not know who Jack is?' Yusuke thought angrily. Anyway he now hated this Jack person for making him break his promise with Keiko.

Yusuke was not looking forward to this mission. The whole police station will be there to catch the thief. There was the risk of having the police see him in action. Oh how he regretted his decision.

"Yusuke you jerk! "Keiko yelled to herself as she paced around the room. "How can you! I was waiting for this movie for weeks to watch it with you! Jerk! Jerk!" Keiko had to punch her pillow with all she got to leave her of her anger. "Ah that's it1 I'm going to watch the movie myself and today!" She yelled and took her jacket and left for the movie theater in a rush.

The streets were filled with people. Everywhere Keiko looked she saw couples. She was fuming inside. 'Yusuke you jerk! Jerk!' even as she thought of those words tears weld up in her eyes.

"Miss you shouldn't cry on such a beautiful day!" Surprised Keiko turned towards to the source of the voice. A boy wearing a blue cap handed Keiko a tissue. "A beautiful girl such as your self should be smiling! Look here" With that the boy took the tissue and fold it into a shape of a rose. He took out a lighter and lit it. The tissue burned but in the place of the tissue was a real rose. He handed the rose to Keiko " Here you go!" the boy said with a smile. And unconsciously Keiko smiled back

"Umm… Excuse me. But do you want to watch a movie me?" Keiko said suddenly. The boy seemed very nice and it seemed to her that he also was alone.

"Of course! I came here to watch a movie too anyway. So it would be great to watch it with another person!" The boy exclaimed.

"Um but excuse me what is your name?" Keiko asked shyly

"Oh I forgot to introduce myself! Hello my name is Hiroki."

"My name is Keiko. Nice to meet you." Keiko bowed in greeting. Shocked by her action Hiroki quickly bowed at Keiko in a formal greeting

"Well Miss Keiko lets go watch a movie!" Hiroki said as he put out his hand for Keiko to take.

Yusuke had to meet up with Kuwabara and tell him about the mission they had tomorrow. He dreaded to walk around the town. Every time he walked out some dufus would want to fight him. Like hell would they ever beat him! But still they would come and make his already foul day worse. So he decided to put his hair down. Those idiots couldn't even tell who he was with his hair down!

As Yusuke walked down the street he bumped into some one. "Hey watch where your going!" the man yelled at him.

"Watch where you're going." Yusuke flatly told him as he just walked down the street. Yusuke felt the man coming toward him. In seconds the man fell down with a big bruise on his right eye. "Hey. That felt really good after this foul day." And Yusuke walked away leaving the man bewildered as how he was on the ground.

Yusuke was almost near Kuwabara's house, but before he can reach his house he had to pass by the movie theater he and Keiko decided to meet tomorrow. 'Why did I go on this mission again?' Yusuke asked and found himself staring at the theater. I wonder what Keiko is doing right now? And Yusuke passed by a group of people.

XXX

Keiko turned around. All around her she saw people, but one person caught her eyes. 'Isn't that Yusuke? Why is he here?' Keiko wondered.

Hiroki looked toward Keiko and saw that she was staring at a boy about his age. 'Hmm. I wonder if he's the boy that Miss Keiko was waiting for?' Hiroki tapped Keiko's shoulder and Keiko turned suddenly as if she broke out of a trance. "Lets go Miss Keiko I think the movie is about to start." And with that Hiroki led Keiko to the door of the theater.

Yusuke found himself in front of Kuwabara's house. He ranged the door bell and soon Yusuke heard footsteps as someone reached the door from the inside. It was Kuwabara. "Why are you here Urameshi?" Kuwabara was puzzled. Yusuke never came to see him. At least not at his house.

"We have a mission from Koenma." Yusuke told Kuwabara. "We have to capture a thief name Jack."

"Jack the jewel thief?" Both of the boys turned around as they heard the voice. "The Jack?"

"Sis you know this Jacky person?" Kuwabara asked his sister.

"You idiot. Watch the new more often. Jack is on the news at least 20 times a day. I heard that Jack was going to steal the Eternal Tear tomorrow." She told them/

"Hey how do you know that she'll steal the Eternal Tear?" Yusuke asked her.

"Don't you know? The second she sends a letter of challenge to the police the media gets hold of it and shows it on TV. Right now every one is going crazy to go to the museum. Probably half the residents who live in Tokyo will go see Jack in action. I also heard live broadcast would be there to film every angle of the building inside and out. 'This just made it more complicated.' Yusuke taught. He now had to worry about not being seen by at least 1000 people.

"Urameshi are we the only ones going or is Kurama and Hiei coming with us?" Kuwabara asked.

"Only us." Who was this Jack that got the eyes of whole Japan!

XXX

"Thank you so much for being with me." Keiko said as she and Hiroko came out of the theater.

"Don't worry about it Miss Keiko. I had fun being with you." Hiroki told Keiko. "Anyway I hope it goes well with your boyfriend."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Keiko was surprised.

"Well you and your boyfriend fought right?"

"How did you know?" Keiko asked as her face turned red from embarrassment.

"It is pretty obvious when a beautiful girl like you cry in broad daylight. I just hope that the lucky boy doesn't make you cry again." With that the boy who Keiko knew as Hiroki left.

Hiroki was quietly humming as he walked down a deserted sidewalk. As made a turn toward and ally a group of boys surrounded him

"Give us all your valuable punk." The one that looked like the leader of the tiny gang came up and poked hiroki on the shoulders roughly. "Pay up or we're going to have some fun time. Of course not fun for you!" the boy stated and turned toward his little gangs and started to laugh and the others soon followed. Hiroki never lost his smile.

"Well sorry fellas. I don't have any money. So I'll be on my way." As Hiroki tried to pass by, the leader of the gang slammed Hiroki on the wall by his neck.

"Where do you think your going? Pay up or else." The leader growled as he stared into Hiroki dark brown eyes.

"Well I really would love to stay with you but I'm quite busy you see." Hiroki said still with a smile on his face. Hiroki gently raised his hand and put them lightly on the leader's wrist that kept him captive. "You see I really am busy." And the smile disappeared. The leader screamed as sound of cracking bone echoed in the ally. There were screams but in seconds the quietness of the ally returned. Hiroki came out of the ally way. His smile once again on his face as he left behind a Jack card on the ground next to the mutilated bodies of the boys who had dared to confront him.

Next Day

"Keiko! Keiko! Did you hear?" Yuri came running up to Keiko as she was walking toward her school.

" What is it Yuri?" Keiko asked

"Jack! Jack is stealing the Eternal Tear today! Lets go watch please Keiko lets go watch everyone is going please!" Yuri screamed with excitement. " And guess what? I did a little research and found out why Eternal tear is really special!"

"Yuri we're late for school. So talk while walking." Keiko told her friend calmly

"Ok… Anyway listen." With that the girl took out bunch of computer articles she had found in the Internet. "The Eternal tear is believed to have special power!"

"Special power?" This statement caught Keiko's attention.

"Yeah special power! You see it is believed that a princess cried for her dead lover. It is said that her tear crystallized and her lover came back to life! It's so romantic and interesting! I am so going to go see Jack! Come on Keiko come with me!" with that Yuri stood in front of Keiko and put up her puppy face.

"Fine … I'll come." Keiko told her friend 'After all my date with Yusuke was canceled' Keiko taught to herself.

This was just not Yusuke's day. It was a very cold day and he just happened to be drenching wet. How did he get wet you ask? Well a group of little boys decided to play water balloon and one "accidentally" hit Yusuke on the head. Of course Yusuke started to run after the kids but what can Yusuke do when they all had those Puppy eyes? Really Yusuke had stood no chance against them. So now he was freezing cold. "Why do I always have bad luck?" Yusuke asked to no one in particular.

"Well you look like you had the worst day of your life." Yusuke turned his head and behind him was a boy with a blue cap. "Would you like a towel?" The boy talked in a light happy voice. While Yusuke could see that the boy was about his age he felt that something was off with him. But hey why not take the offer!

"Sure why not." The boy took out a towel from a sport bag he was carrying.

"Here you go. By the way my name is Hiroki." The boy known as Hiroki put out a hand for Yusuke to shake. Yusuke couldn't help himself but smile as his took out his hand.

"Names Yusuke." As Yusuke introduced himself he started to dry his hair with the towel Hiroki had given him.

"Oh my… I'm late for school... Well Mr. Yusuke has a nice day!" And Hiroki started to walk away but group of people started surround both Hiroki and Yusuke.

"Well, well, well. Look who we have here. The great Yusuke Urameshi! Well don' t we feel very honored. Right guys?" A man about 19 stood in front of the gang. "Well Mr. Urameshi today the day you're going down." With that the gang of 15 or so started to rush forward. Of course all Yusuke had to do was stand there and just punch the daylight out of theses guys. Really the battle took no more than 1 min. Yusuke looked around and saw that all the people were now lying unconscious on the ground. He smile and was about to turn but...

"Don't move Urameshi!"

Yusuke turned around and saw the leader of the gang holding a knife at Hiroki's neck. "If you move then you can say bye bye to your friend here." With that the man smirked thinking that he now had an advantage over the Great Urameshi.

"Oi you." Yusuke said before he appeared behind the man and hit him on a pressure point on the neck. The man limply fell forward and fell unconscious. "Geez... Really can't they just leave me alone?" Yusuke talked out loud.

"Wow... You're very good at fighting! And so fast to! I barely saw you running forward! And you..." As Hiroki went on with his praise, Yusuke felt a little proud of himself. He already knew that what he did was nothing compared to his full, but it felt good to have someone praising you.

"Well it was very nice to meet you! I hope we can meet again. Once again thank you so much today!" Hiroki yelled as he ran off.

Suddenly Yusuke remembered the words of Hiroki. "I barely saw you running..." A light bulb flashed in his mind. 'How was he able to see me?' Yusuke was sure that he used enough speed so that he appeared to disappear. He had did that so that he could catch the man off guard. But Hiroki was able to see him. 'Hmm maybe I didn't go so fast...' So Yusuke dismissed the odd feeling he was getting.

Keiko was wondering if Yusuke was coming to school today. She did not know if his mission started in the morning or later. As she pondered the door to the classroom opened and he found out her answer. Yusuke walked inside the classroom came and sat next to Keiko.

"Yo Keiko. I'm sorry about today." Yusuke mumbled quickly.

"Its ok... I already watched the movie yesterday." Keiko told Yusuke in matter of fact tone. "I had a nice time too." Keiko said as she remembered Hiroki. Yusuke was surprise and was about to ask what had happened yesterday when Keiko decided to change the subject.

"Hmm I wonder where the teacher is?" Keiko said.

"Who cares if she doesn't come."? Yusuke said. As soon as he finished that sentence the door to the classroom and the teacher entered through.

"I'm sorry class there was some problem so I had to talk to the principle. Any way now the problem is fixed. Please come in." the teacher said the last part towards the door. And the door opened once again. The person who walked in surprised both Yusuke and Keiko. The person who walked in was Hiroki. "Well class we have another student that will be joining us starting today. Pease introduce your self."

"Hello! My name in Shouri Hana. I hope everyone will help me through out the year." With that Hana bowed. By now both Yusuke and Keiko were thinking the same thing. ' Hana? Isn't that a girl's name? Wait a minute her voice is different then Hiroki's so that means that girl is not Hiroki but someone totally different.'

"Well Hana sit over there," the teacher pointed to a desk that was in the totally opposite side of the classroom from Yusuke and Keiko's desk. While Hana walked toward her new desk her eyes met Keiko's and Hana smiled.

The class went by quickly and it was already time for lunch. As the bell rang one of Keiko's friend form another classroom came running in. "Keiko did you hear??" The girl said in a rush.

"What is it?" Keiko asked as she was opening her lunch box. She had made a lot of food for Yusuke too.

"Keiko it's horrible! I mean how can this be!! Horrible! Keiko Jack murdered someone!! I mean that can't be true! Someone is trying to frame her I just know it. I bet you anything that it was the police!" The girl said in a hurry as she took out a newspaper. And in the headline were the words written.

JACK THE JEWEL THEIF A MURDERER?

As Keiko read on it read…

An unidentified group of people were found dead with a jack card left on their side. The police believe that the Jack card left was to symbolize that Jack herself had killed those men as she loves to earn credit for what she does. The police announced her leaving of the jack card was similar to how she would leave a challenge and the police are now trying to find out more information of why this massacre had happened...

The story went on

Keiko wasn't the only one interested in the newspaper. Yusuke also wanted to see. Yusuke didn't know what to think of it. Yusuke didn't know Jack as much as the fan girls so he couldn't say that someone was framing Jack.

"Of course that can't be Jack!! Jack would do no such thing!" The person that spoke was Hana.

"Wow Hana you must know a lot about Jack." Keiko said as she faced Hana.

"Of course I know a lot about her I'm her number one fan!! I know Jack wouldn't kill anyone!" Hana said, "Who would dare try frame Jack!! How can they!!" Hana started to babble about how Jack was wonderful and so on. What Yusuke didn't get was why would anyone try to frame the thief. 'There is more going on that what shows' Yusuke thought to himself. Yusuke had to go outside now for the newspaper formed a crowd around his and Keiko's desk. Everyone was now talking to one another about the incident and Yusuke couldn't stand the noise.

Yusuke was now standing on the school roof. Yusuke always felt calm when he came to the roof. No noise finally. Yusuke had to think now of how he could capture the infamous thief. After a long time of thinking Yusuke smiled. He had just came up with the perfect plan.

XXX

Even after the murder incident many people still came to the museum to see Jack. Many of Jack's fan thought that the murder was to frame Jack and most believe that the police had made up the story to make the resident of Japan think how horrible Jack is. Of course the results were ironically opposite. Now many fans hated the Japanese police force.

People waited eagerly for the awaited moment. Keiko just couldn't see why people were so into this thief. Sure Jack had wings and yes, the police still could not catch her even though she sends notices of her crimes to the police. But so what? She pondered as she was being dragged to the front of the museum.

The people grew silent as the time for Jack to come grew closer. It was completely silent by the time when the clock struck 10 signaling the time Jack was suppose to come. Then suddenly, a single light shown from inside the museum. On the window shield stood Jack with her hair flowing behind her back. She opened her hand and in it was a small gem. The gem sparkled blue as the light struck at its center. By this time everyone heard the noise of policeman running up the stairs to catch the thief. Jack smirked and spread out her wings as the police busted out of the window. She took off. Leaving behind an angry mob of policemen and cheering crowd of fans.

"Ha catch me if you can!" Jack muttered as she flew. But unknown to her a boy was following her. The boy is of course Yusuke.

"Her wings are not of a demon. And I can't sense any demon blood in her. Who the hell is she. No what the hell is she…" Yusuke thought as he followed Jack slightly behind. Jack stopped and Yusuke stopped with her but in a blink of and eye she disappeared. Surprised Yusuke looked and could not find her and he decided to go to the place where Jack stood. As he came close he could not do anything as she suddenly reappeared in front of him.

"Oh look someone actually was able to follow me." Jack said as she stared at the boy in front of her. "Are you a fan? Or are you with the police? But wait you are nothing but a boy. Why would the police send you?" Jack pondered out loud as Yusuke was wondering what had just happened

Yusuke brought his hand forward in a shape of a gun. "I wonder what you're going to do with your hand. Are thinking of fighting me? If you are you stand no chance with your hand." Jack smirked as Yusuke yelled "Spirit gun" Caught off guard Jack barley dodged the attack and stood there frozen when she saw what damage Ysuske's blast caused to the building behind her. "What the hell was that?" Jack yelled in disbelief.

It was Yusuke's turn to smirk "I'll make you sorry for underestimating me." Yusuke said as he once again charged his power. But this time Jack was ready for him. As soon as Yusuke yelled, Jack brought forth her hand and Whispered, "erase" And she was gone once again.

Yusuke stared at the place where Phantom stood just seconds ago. In her place was a single note.

Until next time boy…

Yusuke crushed the paper in his hand in frustration. "How dare she make fun me I'll make her pay!"

Jack stood on top of a building as she stared at the boy who had confronted her. "That boy is dangerous… Better watch out for him…"

XXX

"Jack! URG! Who the hell does she think she is! I'm going to make her pay!!" Yusuke yelled in frustration as he started to punch is pillow mercilessly. Last nights encounter with the thief was not what he called a happy meeting. All he was able to think of now was how she manages to trick him and run away with just a note. And the note frustrated him even more. "Who the hell are you to call me BOY? How dare she make fun of me! I'm going to make her pay!" As Yusuke continued to beat up his poor pillow someone knocked on his door. "Huh? Who is it?" Yusuke called out loudly as he made his way to the door.

"Urameshi! It me Kuwabara!" Kuwabara yelled as the door to Yusuke's house began to open.

"Yo Kuwabara. What bring you here?" Yusuke asked as he wondered what would make Kuwabara come to his house.

"I just came to talk about Jack." Just as Kuwabara finished the sentence Yusuke face turned from questioning to surprise to anger in matter of seconds

"Jack!! AHHHHH! If I hear her name one more time I'm going to go crazy!! Why is she so important! She's nothing but a thief and I promise I'm going to catch her and show everyone that she's nothing!!" Yusuke yelled.

"Well I'm guessing by your reaction that your mission yesterday didn't go so well." Kuwabara stated as he saw Yusuke pacing up and down his house yelling in frustration.

"No it did not go so well" Yusuke restated as he calmed down a bit. "Well next time for sure I'm going to catch her… and we'll see than who will be the last one to laugh!"

"I have more news for you Urameshi. Do you know about the murder 2 days ago?" Kuwabara asked to Yusuke.

"Yeah, I heard of it. You mean the murder that the police believe that Jack did right?" Yusuke asked as he recalled the conversation that took place in his classroom two days ago.

"There more to it." Both Kuwabara and Yusuke turned toward the new voice that entered their conversation.

"Yo Kurama… Why are you here?" Yusuke asked as he stared the boy with the long red hair

"Koenma watched Jack and your battle yesterday. He believes that this case might be too difficult for you to handle by yourself." Kurama stated as he walked toward Kuwabara and Yusuke. "So Hiei and I were assigned to help you catch her." Kurama said as he smiled at the shocked Yusuke.

"WHAT!! Koenma thinks I can't handle her by myself!! How dare him! I'm going to show him! URGRGRGRGRG!!" Yusuke started to yell and ramble on. While Yusuke went on rambling Kurama turned his attention to Kuwabara.

"From what I heard and seen on the news it does not seem like Jack is a demon." Kurama stated as he thought deeply.

"She isn't. I did not feel a single drop of demon blood from her. I'm thinking more on the line that she is a human who gained power when the portal to the demon world was opening." Yusuke said "Even her wings were strange. It didn't seem real in anyway. I didn't feel anything from her wings. I don't know how to explain this but she just doesn't feel right. I can't tell if she is dangerous or not. But one thing is certain she's strong. When I fought her I did not see her move or feel her move." Yusuke just did not understand what he felt yesterday. Sure Jack seemed like a human but just something about her was wrong. "Urg anyway it doesn't matter I'm going to capture her that's that!" "Well I'm glad you're very into it, Yusuke. But the reason I came here was to tell you Koenma's theory of who she is" Kurama stated

"Huh? What do you mean Koenma's theory? He told me to check if she is a demon and bring back the Tear Gem." Yusuke looked confused as Kurama started to explain.

"Koenma believes she is not from our universe." "What! What do you mean?" Kuwabara asked as he looked more confused now.

"You see besides our universe there are millions no billions of universes out there. In a universe there is at least one world. For example our universe has three, Spirit, Human, and the demon world. Traveling between worlds are not that difficult and rather common. But traveling to different universe is very difficult and needs great amount of energy. Koenma told me that he had been contacted by one of his close friend that lives in a different universe. The friend told him how the different universe are being conquered and connected by a group called Nightmares. He said that we must stop any type of invasion by Nightmares or it will be the doom of not only Human World, but our universe."

"I don't get it. What does this have to do with Jack?" Yusuke asked

"Didn't you say that she felt different? Like she was neither human nor demon? Koenma believes that Jack might be part of Nightmares. If this is true we must stop her at all cost." Kurama finished talking. Yusuke did not know how to handle the new information he was given… 'Millions of universes? Jack from an another universe? Now this was getting complicated… Who are you Jack?'

"Captain we have found a world that might be fun to conquer… I will send the information gathered. This universe seems interesting and it might come as a huge benefit to us." The voice came from the big screen inside a huge room. The room was vacant and the voice in the screen echoed in the room. All that was in the room was a chair. Not an extravagant one. But a regular wooden chair. But the most important thing was the person on the chair. The mysterious figure on the chair started to laugh. The Laugh would have made anyone flinch. It was a cold laugh, no emotion… the figure started to talk

"Gather information on Potentials and come back and report to me when you have gathered sufficient information for the conquer." The figure said. His voice sly voice was soft and no one would have heard it. But because the room was vacant even his voice was able to travel and be heard to the person on the screen.

The person on the screen smiled. "I have already gathered all information about this universe's greatest fighters. And the information I will send is more than enough information to conquer this universe." The Figure in the screen replied.

"Really… send me the information… and as always you are a quick worker…" At this statement the figure on the screen smiled even more.

"Thank You so much for the praise, but I have to go now… here is the information." And the screen went black. The screen once again flared with light and the word downloading appeared. After a few second the word changed to downloaded.

The figure on the chair stood up and went to the side of the room where the screen was. When he opened the file it was very organized. Every aspect of the world was categorized. But he wasn't interested in the files like Foods, money, housing, education, ect. The most important part of the file was the last one. "POTENTIALS" was written on the file. He clicked it open. And the screen changes from a white screen with words to a picture. The picture showed a boy of 16 or 17 of age. He had brown hair and brown eyes. In the picture the boy looked happy. The figure clicked the next button. The picture changed back to the white screen with words. But this section held all the information of the boy. The figure read the name of the boy out loud.

"Yusuke"

Koenma was worried. Whoever Jack was she needs to be caught. If she was part of Nightmares by capturing her, the spirit world will know more about the organization and their system of conquest. When he was contacted by his "friend" he was surprised. He never thought that the "friend" from the other universe would contact him. He knew that just by contacting other universe would have a huge impact on space-time. Bringing many different universes was a very dangerous thing to do. Even in one universe connecting the worlds was dangerous. After that's what the spirit world does. To keep peace in all three worlds in their universe. Just having a portal from the demon world opening in the human world affected so many aspect of human earth. But if the universe were to connect, then a hell would break loose. It was critical for the spirit world to stop the Nightmares from even entering their universe. He just hoped that Yusuke and the rest would be able to stop them. If they can't Koenma could not think of anyone who could then.

"Lord Koenma! We just received some new information on the Nightmares. Your "friend" sent more information on them." Koenma's train of thoughts were shattered as the blue org came running. 'Oh well guess she sent more information. I wonder how useful it will be…' Koenma thought as he took the files the org had given him. As he opened and read through Koenma began to frown. 'This new information… oh no it seems we're in a worse situation than I feared.'

"Bring Yusuke and the others to me now! This is an emergency! Every second must be used! Hurry!!"

It was a peaceful day the sun was bright and nothing could have gone wrong in Yusuke's perfect day.

"YUSUKE!! Hurry, you and other are wanted by Koenma this moment!" Ah well maybe it wasn't such a peaceful, perfect day…

Yusuke sighed as he talked "What does the toddler want… My mood just barely improved after meeting phantom… Can't you tell him to find someone else to do whatever job he wants me to right now??" Yusuke was annoyed. All he wanted to do today was go to the arcade or maybe even beat up some punks to rant his anger out.

"No Yusuke Koenma just received new information on the Nightmares and it is important that we act right now or our universe is doomed!" Botan said hurriedly as she tried to pull Yusuke on to her oars.

"News? About Nightmares? So is Jack really a Nightmare?" Yusuke asked Botan. He had spent all day yesterday wondering if Jack really was a Nightmare. He had kept thinking back on what Kurama had told him and Kuwabara. 'Billions of universe… I wonder how it feels like to visit them… Not just this universe others as well. Are thing different or same in the different universe?' So many questions popped up in Yusuke's mind when he began to think about Jack again. "All right take me to Koenma. I want to know more about the Nightmares anyway." Yusuke said as he got on Botan's oars.

Koenma could not wait. Every second that passed by could mean the end of this universe. The new information that was sent to him was startling. He had never thought it would be this bad. Now more than ever he needed take action before anything began. If the Nightmares attacked this universe before He could set up a defense it would be disastrous.

The door opened to his room and Yusuke and Botan walked inside. Just seeing Yusuke made Koenma feel better. After all this was the first step of defense.

"Good you're here! Sit so I can tell you more about the Nightmares." Koenma said as he got his files ready to show Yusuke. "It seems that nightmares have over millions of members." As soon as that statement left Koenma's mouth Yusuke's eyes opened wide in surprise.

"WHAT a million!!" Yusuke could not believe his ears.

"Yes over millions. I did not believe my eyes when I first read it but it seems to be true. So far the Nightmares already took over some hundreds of different universe. And every time they conquered, their land and member increased greatly. It seems that the Nightmares are far more dangerous than we feared. Conquering different universe is very, very difficult. You should know, after all many demons try to conquer one world, that is the human world, but fail horribly. While many fail to conquer a world Nightmares are able to conquer the whole universe! I never heard of this happening before! And not just one universe but hundreds! I knew they had to be powerful to cross different universes but to be able conquer so many, I never would have thought that they were so strong." Koenma told Yusuke as Yusuke listened with shock. Who were these Nightmares? Why were they so strong? Could he even compete with them?

"How… how are they so strong? I don't get it… how could they have enough power to take control of a whole universe? Who are they? No, what are they?" Yusuke asked Koenma

"I don't know but this threat is becoming too dangerous. Well here is some good news. Even though they have millions of members many of them stay in their own universe to control the rebellions that might occur. Only few highly skilled fighters are picked to become part of the numbers."

"Numbers?" Yusuke asked

"Sorry we really don't have much information than that" Koenma answered regretfully wanting to give Yusuke as much information he should need to fight off the As Koenma saw how troubled Yusuke looked he spoke. "But don't worry! Even though they might be strong I know that I have a good defense to protect this universe." Koenma stated

"Huh? What do you mean??" Yusuke asked in confusion

"I mean you! Yes the Nightmares might be strong but you are strong yourself. I'm positive that you, Kurama, Hiei, and Kuwabara will be able to stop them. So please Yusuke take this threat seriously and make sure to stop the Nightmares at all cost! Once again the fait of the human world is in your hand! No this time it is the fate of our universe!" Koenma said to Yusuke with a pleading look in his eyes. Yusuke never seen so much desperation in Koenma's eyes. Even when Sensui had almost opened the portal to the demon world Koenma had still been calmed. But now he can see panic. Yusuke knew that he could not mess up this job. No matter what he will stop the Nightmares.

"Don't worry Koenma. Who do you think I am?… I will stop the invasion. I will make sure that our universe is safe from them!"

When Yusuke came back home it was already night. He was very tired. He debated on rather to go to sleep or watch the TV. Quickly he decided to watch TV because it seemed forever that he had turn on the TV to watch any show. It wouldn't be bad to watch some anime or maybe some action movies… But when he turned on the TV it turned on to the news. Just when he was about to change the channel something caught his attention.

"More news about Jack had just come in!! It seems that JAck has sent another letter of challenge to the Police. But it seems that this letter created a great confusion in the police department. Unlike the rest of Jack letter which consisted of a place and time, this one left a message. It said 'If you want to catch me come to Cairo Park at 12 am. See you then Boy!' Who could this "Boy" be?? Or is Jack ridiculing the Japanese police force by calling them "boy"? Nothing is for certain! We can only wait to see who Jack means by "Boy" by going to Cairo Park!" As the announcer stopped talking Yusuke was fuming. 'She dares to call me boy again!! I'll make her pay!! But wait. If Jack is part of Nightmare I have to catch her at all cost. Ha! So you want me to catch you… Just wait and see… I will catch you in Cairo Park tonight! I'll make you sorry for ever calling me boy and even thinking about taking over my universe!' Yusuke thought and his eyes gleamed with determination.
