I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho or any of its characters. I only own Mikai and Senkai.

So I'm rewriting only the grammar in this story. I've taken out some large Mary Sue points in Mikai that bothered me, but she still seems to teeter towards being a Mary Sue in this story. Her character, in this redone version, has grown a bit more thanks to the writing I did called Meeting of Time which told how Mikai met Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei. I have to reupload that story so this makes more sense so I'll tell you when I do so. .

Story timeline: Meeting of time---Fox Tails---Ai No Itsudemo---"unwritten story as of now"

Enjoy!

Everything had been normal in Spirit World that day until George received a piece of information from a certain Spirit Detective that caused panic to run through him.

"Sir! Sir!" George yelled as he ran over to Koenma's desk with a look of panic written across his face.

"What? What is it now George?" the toddler said with annoyance as he stamped the papers that were in front of him.

"Sir, Senkai has been spotted in the human world!" George said as he tried to catch his breath from his previous activity.

"What?!" Koenma yelled as the blue pinky fell out of his mouth. "Where is she?"

"Oddly enough sir, she's in the area in which Urameshi Yusuke lives."

"Send him in after then! And hurry! We don't have any idea what she's capable of doing!" Koenma said as slammed his head down on his desk.

"Right away sir!" Ogre ran away to go and alert Urameshi.

"My Father is going to kill me." Koenma groaned as he looked back up and had his red stamp on his forehead, covering the word, "Jr."

Yusuke Urameshi sighed as he walked to the top of the school and sat down into the white floor. Today had been rather boring for him; he hadn't done anything but sit down in a classroom for most of the day, which was unusual for him.

"Yusuke?" Botan said as she popped up next to Yusuke causing him to jump.

"Don't scare me like that Botan!" Yusuke snapped.

"Sorry Yusuke but I have a message from Koenma," Botan said as she held up a small white piece of paper. "He said that it was urgent and he wants you to read this note right away." She handed to Yusuke.

"Really? What does the toddler want now?" Yusuke took the note, but then put it down onto the ground, as if he were going to dismiss the whole thing.

"Well aren't you going to read it?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because." Yusuke rested his head back onto the white wall. "I don't want to hear anymore bad news from that little brat."

Botan snatched the paper, opened it, and began to read it out loud:

Yusuke,

It seems that there is a demon in your area with extreme power. I want you to find her and bring her back to the Spirit World. ALIVE. I've already sent Kurama and Hiei out. You can have Kuwabara help you also.

"Demon?" Yusuke said with no surprise in his voice.

"Yes. Her name is Senkai. She's a demon fox from the Makai. She's very powerful and for some reason Koenma wants her captured right away," Botan said as she dove into her vast knowledge. "I've never heard of her before though."

"Well did he tell you were she is?"

"All Koenma said was that she was somewhere in this area. You won't be able to sense her demon powers though. For some reason, she's been able to hide it from the Spirit World and it's workers."

"Oh great I'm searching for a demon whose presents I can even detect," Yusuke said with a low sigh. "This day just keeps getting better and better."

"Yusuke?" a voice said as the door to the roof opened. "Are you up here?"

Around the corner came a girl with shoulder length dark brown hair, brown eyes, and an outfit that didn't seem to match the one that people from Yusuke's school wore. She looked around the area until she spotted Botan standing up beside Yusuke.

"I'm right here Mikai," Yusuke answered as he moved his hand back and forth. She spotted him and crossed her arms.

"Oh Yusuke," Mikai said gently. "Keiko is looking for you. I thought you would be up here."

"Did you tell her?"

"Yeah."

"Great…" Yusuke sighed.

Keiko came around the corner with a mad look on her face. Yusuke twitched as Botan covered his mouth to hide the small laugh that was dying to come out at the wrong moment.

"What's that supposed to mean Yusuke?" she said angrily.

"Nothing!" Yusuke said as he stood up. He didn't want to say anything that would earn him a slap.

Keiko looked at Botan and smiled. She knew. She knew all about Yusuke's other life now so she was no longer suspicious of when she found Yusuke and Botan together.

"I'll leave you guys alone then," Mikai said as she walked back into the school.

When Mikai left, Botan turned to Yusuke and asked, "Who was that girl? I've never seen her around."

"Oh Mikai? She's just a friend. I've been hanging out with her for a while, I wonder why you've never noticed her," Yusuke answered as he moved over in order for Keiko to sit down next to him.

"She's not wearing a school uniform." Botan pointed out. "What school does she go to?"

"Some high school over here." Yusuke looked around to see if he could spot it in the distance.

"She goes to high school?" Botan asked in surprise. "Yusuke what are you doing hanging out with older woman?"

"Hey we've been friends for a while." Yusuke suddenly spotted the high school. "There," he pointed, "that's the school she goes to."

"Are you staying the rest of the day?" Keiko asked Yusuke as Botan looked over the edge at the school Yusuke's friend attended.

"No! I've got to go and check something out."

"Yusuke! You never stay for school!" Keiko said as she turned her head away from the black haired boy.

"Don't worry about it!" Yusuke got up and brushed himself off.

"Where are you going Yusuke?" Botan asked.

"To find that demon! I may as well get it done and over with now." Yusuke began to walk away.

"Wait for me Yusuke!" Botan said, running after him.

Keiko was left sitting on the roof, alone. Then, out of nowhere, in the pit of her stomach, she felt as if something bad was about to happen.

"Yusuke…," she whispered. "Please be careful."

As Yusuke walked through the school, he saw Mikai up ahead of him. Seeing her reminded him of something he wanted to say so he ran up to her, leaving Botan behind for a moment.

"Mikai!" He called out. "Hey Mikai!"

"What?" She asked as she turned around in the crowed hallway.

"I just wanted to know if you wanted to head by the arcade sometime today? I've still got to keep that high score I got yesterday on Goblin City." Yusuke laughed a bit.

"Yeah sure." Mikai shrugged. "I've got nothing better to do."

"Don't act like it's a chore." Yusuke crossed his arms and teased.

"Like it's not."

Yusuke twitched. Mikai saw that she had finally gotten underneath his skin and began to laugh. He twitched once more but soon found himself giggling at the fact that she was laughing so hard.

"But yeah," Mikai's laugh dissipated, "I'll go to the arcade with you. I've got to beat your score anyways."

"I just got that score." Yusuke hissed.

"Yeah I know." She grinned. "Oh, if you get the chance, could you bring me my lighter? I left it over at your place the other day."

"Sure." Yusuke shrugged.

The school bell rung, telling the students that school was going to go back into session in a few moments. Yusuke and Mikai moved to the right side of the hallway as students ran passed them, trying to get to class.

"I'd better go." Mikai sighed. "I'll see you at the arcade aright?"

"Yeah." Yusuke nodded.

Mikai turned away in order to start walking but turned her head to the side. "I'm glad to have you back Yusuke. I missed you a lot."

Yusuke managed a small smile. "I'm glad too."

The black haired boy watched his friend walk away and sighed. She was talking about the fact that he had just gotten back from the Black Tournament, after he had told her that he was going on some trip with Kuwabara. He hated lying to her but knew that it would be better for the both of them if she didn't know about him being a Spirit Detective. This was the one thing he hid from her, and the one thing he wanted to tell her the most.

"Urameshi!"

Yusuke looked down the hall and saw Kuwabara running towards him with a notebook in his hands. Wondering why he wasn't in class, Yusuke stood in the hallway for a moment and laughed as Kuwabara bumped into a few, smaller classmates.

"Urameshi!" Kuwabara said as he finally met up with the black haired boy. "Have you seen Mikai? I have to give her the notes she let me borrow!"

"You just missed her." Yusuke blinked.

"Dammit!" Kuwabara growled. "I promised her I'd give her back her notes today! She's gonna bite my head off for sure!"

"Why?" Yusuke asked with a laugh.

"She said she need them!"

"Why it's not like she stays in school long enough to take tests anyway."

Kuwabara sighed and lowered his head. "You'd better be right Urameshi. If she jumps all over me, you're gonna pay for it!"

"Yeah, yeah." Yusuke moved his hand back and forth. "Why do you need notes anyway? I thought you always took notes during class."

"Yeah well I missed a lot of school when I was out fighting in the tournament remember?" Kuwabara moved his head back up and glared towards his best friend. "Anyway, I'm going back to class, are you comin'?"

"No, I've got a demon to find."

"A demon? You mean you're on another case!? You just finished fighting the tournament and with those territory freaks!"

"Yeah I know." Yusuke sighed. "That's why I want to finish this mission as soon as I can. I wanna relax a bit before something else happens around here."

"Let me go with you." Kuwabara rolled up the small notebook he had in his hands and stuck it down into his left pocket.

"Don't we have a test?"

"I'll make it up with you." Kuwabara shrugged. "Come on! I seriously wanna kick some demon's ass!"

"Fine. Let's go already."

Yusuke and Kuwabara had now been walking around downtown for about fifteen minutes when Kuwabara looked over to the unusually quiet Yusuke and hit him on the shoulder.

"What?" Yusuke asked.

"I was just wonderin' if you were going to tell Mikai about the tournament and everything."

"No."

"Why?"

"Why does she need to know?" Yusuke asked, looking over towards his much taller colleague.

"It just feels kinda wrong to lie to someone like her." Kuwabara sighed. "She's been our friend for a while now. You've told Keiko haven't you?"

Yusuke stopped walking. Kuwabara was right. Yusuke had known Mikai for what was coming up on a year now and so much had happened between them. He felt that somewhere it was wrong from him to lie to her like he was and yet he felt as if it were right in order to protect her.

"I'll tell her later," Yusuke lied. "Don't worry about it."

R&R please!
