The Thief And The Deity

Chapter One: Trouble in Maikai

A young redheaded man of about fifteen walked to school with his three friends. "Hey Kurama, wait up!" Yusuke yelled. Kurama had begun walking much quicker when he saw his fan girls were gaining on him. He broke into a sprint leaving Hiei, Yusuke, and Kazuma behind.

After school ended he walked home alone. There was no one around they were all home already this was a particularly long day for him, he was relentlessly chase by the millions of fan girls which was the reason he was so late to get home. He sighed, it took all his energy not to transform into Youko and teach those girls a lesson. All at once he got hit on the head and fell to the ground, "What the heck," he said getting up he saw the face of the bubbly blue-haired deity of death. "Oh my gosh Kurama I am so sorry! Are you ok? Hurt?" she asked in a worried tone. "No Botan I'm fine," he said patiently, yup that was Kurama all over always so calm and collected. "Where you going in such a hurry?" he asked. "I was going to see Yusuke, there's trouble in Maikai!" she said very alarmed. "Yusuke, Hiei, and Kazuma are all at Keiko's house all the girls are there too. Mind giving me a lift there?" He replied. "Sure hop on" she said getting back on her oar.

At Keiko's house the entire Reikai Tentei gathered and talked about Maiki's problem. Botan began: "Since Yusuke's leave demon world's been on a rampage, but not just in Maikai in Reikai to and Spirit World officials are afraid that they'll attack Ningenkai!" "And who are these people?" Yusuke asked, "I'm the king of the Maikai it's embarrassing that I haven't heard about this yet!" "Enma-Diaoh ruled that we could take care of this, but he changed his decision this morning, that's why I'm here!" she said all in one breath. Everyone could see that the ferry girl wasn't herself her face was pale, there were dark circles under her eyes, which indicated that she had gone days without sleep. 'Stupid toddler' Kurama thought, 'How dare he work Botan work so hard!'

"Botan," Keiko said as if she were voicing Kurama's thoughts, "Don't you think you should get some rest, you look terribly tired, and Koenma's been working you way to hard!" "Thank you very much Keiko," said the teenage deity.

The next day was a Saturday so the team had the day off. Botan, Kurama, Yusuke and Hiei took off for the demon world. First they went to Mukuro getting the idea that she would know what was going on. Luckily for them she did, "A band of assassins have been targeting the most powerful and wealthy people in all three worlds and stealing their valuables," she said. "So how are we suppose to find these villains," Yusuke thought aloud. "I've sent my people everywhere and except the nation of Kana they've all returned. There's a lead…" Mukuro said. "Thank you very much lady Mukuro," Botan said. Kurama was relieved to hear that she sounded like her cheerful and bubbly self. "The nation of Kana right?" said Kurama. "That's right," Mukuro said, "do you know something about that place? It was a part of Yomi's territory so no one other then his advisors actually know anything about that place." "Sure do…" Kurama said, "I once lead a bandit gang around that area." 'There's so much about Kurama I don't know' Botan thought as they all listened intently to Kurama's story.

He began, "About over a millennium ago Yomi and I were apart of the same gang we would rob the richest people around, and we were proud of it. The more we stole the more famous we became. It was quite and exciting time to be young… But I decided to leave the group and the gang broke apart…" It was very silent and no one dared asked the young man why he'd left the group, because of his cold aura it was as if he would transform into Youko the fox anytime he wanted to, and why he sounded so ominous about it was a complete mystery.
