"We don't know anything about this group," Botan explained to Yusuke on the roof of his school just as the sun was setting, "but they're a powerful group of demons. Not knowing their abilities or what they really want poses and serious problem."

He asked, "What am I supposed to do about that? If I don't know anything it's not like I can help."

She stood up and walked in front of him as he leaned back and said, "All we know is that it appears they're trying to take over the living world. We're not exactly sure how, though."

"Yeah that's real helpful," he replied sarcastically.

"Hey, Urameshi," Kuwabara said as he walked onto the roof, "school's done, want to go to the arcade? Oh, hey Botan, got another case?"

Yusuke said, "She doesn't know anything."

"Hey!" she said angrily, "We do know that three demons are doing odd things in living world and could pose a serious threat." Her communicator went off. She pulled it out of her pocket in the school uniform she was wearing and said, "Koenma sir, what's going on?"

He explained, "The group is called the Osoroshi group. Tell Yusuke at once."

"I'm right here," he replied as he stood up and got into frame, "anything else, like what they want or what their abilities are?"

"Sorry," he replied, "I'll try to keep searching." The screen went back.

Kuwabara asked, "What should we do?"

Yusuke replied, "We're dealing with demons, so it's a good thing we know one. Why don't we at least try asking Kurama?"

Botan asked, "How would he know anything?"

"When you guys didn't know anything about the Saint Beasts he and Hiei could give us some information," he replied, "it wasn't much but it helped. Hiei's impossible to find but Kurama loves school, and his mom, so he's either at school or at home. Come on, if we leave now we might make it to his school before dark."

Kurama closed the front door of the school behind himself as he stepped outside. The darkness of the last drops of sunlight didn't bother him, since he had just spent hours in bright unnatural lighting. "Kurama!" a familiar voice called from the school gates. He blushed and looked around to make sure no one heard. No one else was around. "Hey!" Yusuke shouted.

"I'm Shuichi here!" he replied, "Other than that, why are you here?" He walked over to him and saw Kuwabara and Botan were in tow.

"We were wondering if you knew anything about some demons called Osoroshi since you are a demon yourself," Yusuke replied nonchalantly.

Kurama went pale. Botan asked, "Are you alright, Kurama?"

"You're sure that's their name," he asked nervously.

"That's what Koenma told us," Kuwabara replied, "and that spirit world doesn't know much about them."

"I hired them centuries ago," Kurama explained, "they're a group of 5 thugs that I hired for a specific job as Yoko Kurama, but I found their methods far too brutal so I cut ties with them."

Yusuke said, "To be honest, I'm surprised you didn't kill them since you were supposed to be brutal yourself, right?"

He replied, "I was trying to be nice for once, but I can see that didn't work out."

Kuwabara went pale and said, "You don't have to look like that Kurama, we'll deal with them for sure this time, alright?" He looked into Kurama's eyes that were giving off a death glare.

He explained, "They were strong back then, there's no telling how strong they are now. We'll need help."

Botan asked, "Who are you talking about now? Hiei?"

"Hiei's jagan could be of use," he answered, "but I have no idea where he is and if he doesn't want to be found he won't be. There's no point in searching for him considering he probably won't want to help anyway. I was thinking of someone else." He looked down.

Yusuke asked, "Are you going to tell us?"

"Yeah," Botan said, "go ahead and spill the beans now."

"Lucasma," Kurama said.

After a moment, Kuwabara replied, "That doesn't really tell us anything."

"Her?" Botan asked.

Yusuke asked, "Is someone going to start explaining something or what?" He looked at Kurama and then at Botan.

"She's a wind demon," Botan said, "unlike wind masters, the powers she possesses is molecular manipulation, but 'wind demon' is easier to say. She can teleport, change her appearance in a way of shape shifting, and create wind currents and fly all with her powers. Wind demons are ancient breeds, they existed long before demons had 'energy' but she's the last of her kind. All of the other wind demons died of a mysterious cercumstance thousands of years ago. I never thought of asking her for help though."

Kuwabara said, "She sounds powerful."

"Yeah," Yusuke said, "but will she help us?"

Kurama replied, "If I ask her she most likely will." He looked back up at them.

Botan asked, "You know her personally? I haven't ever seen her in person, in fact, most haven't."

"Well," Kurama replied awkwardly, "we used to be together at some point."

Kuwabara said, "No way, you were actually with a girl? We have to meet her now."

"That's something I need to see," Yusuke said, "how come you never talk about her?"

"15 years ago," he explained, "I thought my love for her would get in the way of my bandit ways so I left her. Then I was nearly captured by the SDF. I have no doubts that she was the one that gave away my position. We were always secretive, so no one ever knew we were in the relationship. I'm sure if I talk to her in person I can persuade her." He looked at them and realized they were staring at him.

Kuwabara asked in shock, "You mean you're a human now because of her?"

Botan asked, "And now you want to ask her for help? Don't you think she'll hate you now?"

"It's been over a decade," he replied, "she should have simmered down somewhat. It's not like we have any other option."

"So what are we going to do now?" Yusuke asked.

"Go to spirit world and try to contact Lucasma in demon world," Kurama answered, "from there we'll work on a stradegy for taking down the Osoroshi group."
