Three Weeks Later…

'Careful research pays off.' These were the thoughts of one Vlad Masters, who, in his quest for world domination, has found the Spirit World (not zone, according to his sources) and has also found out about the plethora of powerful items that this world has within its depths.

He read about items such as a Pocket-All (meant to hold monsters of any size as long as the ball is stronger than it), the April-First Eye (allows anyone who eats it to be able to see any and all spirits, but also have them be attracted to the user), the Luna Crescent Stick (allows the user to punish enemies with the power of love), and the Leaf-of-Fire Swirl Band (allows the wearer to become an instant samurai… or something). All were held in a vault that was heavily guarded by the resident rulers of the realm.

But Vlad wanted the Mirror of Darkness, said to grant any wish during the full moon as long as the user paid something back. He didn't know what it was, but he was sure to be able to acquire it with all of his money, or if all else fails, his ghost powers. With this mirror in his hands, he could become unstoppable!

Vlad closed the second book in his arsenal from the Ghost Zone Library (called Magical Items and Where to Steal Them by Unknown Thief), and headed to his Ghost Zone portal.

It was time to meet Clockwork.

Spirit World was always busy. There was just no way that people would just stop dying, so there was no break time for those who lived and worked in the Reikai. Ferry girls were whizzing about between the Reikai and the Ningenkai, and the poor oni were getting bossed around by Koenma, the most powerful crybaby this side of the afterlife. It was no wonder that when a small, surreptitious portal opened in the vault, no one really noticed, especially when a portal has never been opened inside the actual vault before.

Plasmius stepped out of this portal, along with his handy picture of the mirror of darkness for a reference. The portal closed behind him as his eyes scanned the shelves, and he began to look in earnest for his item of choice. He could not help himself, however, from taking a look at some other items that were his for the taking.

'Oh, here is the section for weapons. Let's see… the items are all labeled? Well now, I guess this world has confidence in their security. This one says it's called the Ghostslayer. Let's not use that one. Oh! The "Sword of Masters"? That is a very interesting find. It's almost like it was made for me!'

Plasmius took the label of the sword and saw that it said "To be used by someone who wears mostly green, or consequences will follow".

'Darn. That won't work. I hate green.'

He continued to look through all of the sections until he saw the mirror section. After looking at all of the mirrors, such as the Fairest Mirror and the Erised Mirror, he found his target. The label called it "highly dangerous to user", but he didn't come all of this way for nothing. Plasmius grabbed the mirror, replaced it with his picture, and took off his Clockwork medallion, which brought him back to the ghost zone.

The medallion fell to the floor.

Several minutes later, a guard that had been patrolling entered the vault for a routine check to make sure nothing was stolen. He had been walking around the vault and looking inside it every 30 minutes for the past 7 hours or so, so it was natural that he would not pay too much attention to the items inside the vault.

However, it was difficult to miss the strange looking necklace that had suddenly appeared on the floor in front of a bunch of mirrors. The guard picked it up, saw the strange C and W on its surface, and looked around at the other items in the area. When he found that the Mirror of Darkness had been replaced with a picture, then he quickly ran to the large red button that said "ALARM" on it and pushed.

He then ran toward the office with the medallion clutched in his hands, yelling "Koenma-sama!" the whole way.

To Be Continued

A/N:

- I will only be using the Japanese words that those who read Yu Yu Hakusho fanfiction should basically know. But if you don't, here's a guide:

Reikai: Spirit World (I think I've made this clear, though)

Ningenkai: Human World

Oni: demon (the ogres that run around Koenma's office)

Honorifics: I can't really explain these here super well, but "sama" is basically the
same thing as "lord" or "master". If you want a more in-depth explanation there's
always google (which I don't own). Just look up Japanese Honorifics.

-I will give a virtual cookie to anyone who figures out where the items in the vault came from. They are not completely made up, but they do not have their original names, either. They are the Pocket-All, the April-First Eye, the Luna Crescent Stick, The Leaf-of-Fire Swirl Band, the Sword of Masters, the Fairest Mirror, and the Erised Mirror. Some are much easier than others, and I hope you enjoy the challenge!

I don't own any of the companies that own the shows/manga/movie/whatever that the items take their inspiration from.

Thanks for reading! Please leave a review for the starving author! I don't know what anyone thinks about this so far, but I would like to .
