Prologue

Leaves were changing color from dark green to bright yellow and dark orange upon their branches. Autumn flowers were beginning to blossom to life and sweet, but strange scents began to flow through the air. Demons reacting to the odd scent began to tense as a strange frustration came over them. All across the Makai, things were slowly beginning to change, and something sinister was about to befall the demon world.

Meanwhile in the Ningenkai….

"Man, I'm beat," yawned Yusuke as he stretched out his arms and legs from his seat on the sofa. Yet again he had woken up too late for school and just decided that since he was late anyways, why bother going. It's not like he was a model student anyways and he highly doubted that anyone would notice if he was there or not, other than Keiko of course. He yawned again as he stood up and moved to turn his game system off. The teenage boy decided to rummage the kitchen for his only sleep fighting savior, coffee. "Wonder if mom bought anymore yet..." He wondered as he opened one of the top cabinets, looking in the spots where they normally kept it. To his relief he managed to find a half filled container of dark roasted coffee grounds hiding behind a large box of cereal. He pulled out the container and made his way over to their small coffee pot. Lifting the back lid of the pot he filled it up with the required amounts of coffee grounds and water before replacing the lid and turning the switch to the on direction. To his dismay the house phone began to ring. "Better not be that binky breath toddler…."The raven haired boy sighed as he walked over to answer the phone.

"Urameshi speaking," he said and a cheerful voice replied back to him over the phone. That happy go lucky voice was unmistakably Botan, and with that thought he sighed. "Yusuke, Lord Koemma has another mission for you. I hope you aren't too busy, he says it's rather urgent. Kurama, Hiei, and Kuwabara have already been summoned as well." The bubbly reaper replied and Yusuke began complaining about being over worked and under paid, and then something about coffee, but she cut him off saying she would see him shortly. Hanging up the phone Yusuke glanced sadly at his half-full coffee pot. "One day coffee, one day…." Sadly he went to his room to quickly get dressed and ran out the door to meet Botan. Today was going to be a long day.
