2: Airport
~Tokyo International Airport~
"URAMESHI!!" waved a big orange-haired brute. He was standing next to a sweet aqua-haired young woman who smiled sweetly and waved a bit more discreetly.
"Must you make a scene of yourself in public," the brute was hit from behind by another woman. She had a cigarette posed between her lips and long light brown hair.
"Yeah, Kuwabara," Yusuke gave him a friendly slug to the gut. "You should listen to your sister more."
"It's nice to see you again, Yusuke," the young woman smiled sweetly.
"Hey Yukina," Yusuke greeted.
"You didn't have to hit me that hard," Kuwabara recovered.
"I'd say hit him again," Shizuru sighed.
"Hey now."
"Kuwa-hara!" Hinageshi had jumped on his back. (1)
"It's Kuwabara!!" Kuwabara protested. "What's she doing here anyway?"
"Ba-tan is in America," Hinageshi explained.
"Why's Botan in America?"
"It's concerning our mission," Kurama set his carry on down as he joined the group. "We'll fill you in as much as we can on the flight over."
"I take it you don't know much then," Kuwabara sighed. "Well, no matter. If it's concerning the protection of the Human Realm-and Demon- then I'm on it."
"This is before or after we have drag you?" Yusuke asked.
"Oh shut it Urameshi."
"Now now," Kurama intervened. "Let's not start fighting before the flight."
"So how'd Keiko take it?" Kuwabara changed the subject.
"Eh," Yusuke shifted his bag while he fondly remembered that encounter...
~Flashback a few hours ago~
"You're going WHERE?! To do WHAT?!" Keiko, the brown haired brown eyed girl who had grown up with Yusuke, slammed down the wok she was cooking with at her family's restaurant.
"Er," Yusuke wasn't expecting that kind of reaction. "It'll just be for a little while."
"So it'll be one and half years this time," Keiko said slyly.
"What's your deal?"
"It's just....you finally get back....then you have to leave again."
"Don't worry, it's normal Spirit World crap. I'll be back before you know it."
"You better. If you don't return, I'll hunt you down myself."
"What if I die?"
"I'll have Koenma bring you back, then kill you myself."
~End Flashback~
"Let's just say," Yusuke sighed. "That if I die, Koenma's screwed." (2)
The intercom went off. "Now boarding flight 343-98 to Houston, Texas-America."
"That'll be us then," Kuwabara stated the obvious.
Kuwabara said a tearful farewell to Yukina, who took it as his normal behavior. Behind him, Yusuke made a face of disgust as Kurama and Shizuru watched on.
"Hey guys," Shizuru said at last. "Watch out for yourselves."
"Don't worry about a thing sis," Kuwabara said rather confidently. "I'll watch after Urameshi-"
"I was talking about you, idiot."
"Good luck you guys!" Yukina waved as they entered the security gates to their boarding station.
~Small town south of San Antonio~
-Mayor's building-
"News reports have been coming in constantly about this act," the mayor huffed as he sat back behind his desk. "Ever since demons were allowed to be free, nothing but trouble has come from this."
"I can assure you mayor," he sat at the edge of his seat, feet barely touching the floor. "That this isn't demon activity that is causing this."
The mayor held back a snort of doubt. After all, this wasn't the first time this boy had helped his small town. "You think it's humans?"
"I'm confident it is," said the twelve year old. "But if you need any more proof..."
"Just do what you want and get this over with," the mayor didn't need anymore proof. Last time was enough. (3)
The boy smiled kindly and hopped off the chair. He started to say his farewell when he remembered something.
"I almost forgot," the boy with wavy light brown hair turned back around. "I'm having some guests from out of town arriving, and I had hoped you would let them enter this town."
Once it was said that demons were to be mixed with humans, the mayor had it put that none will be allowed in his town. He had banished all the demons who had already resided in the town limits. A few years ago, more had started to come in, only this time, they claimed that they were there to help. This boy had come along with that bunch. And after the mayor had paid for the heavy town property damage that they had inflicted, while saving the town and his ass, he swore that no more were to come with in the county limits. He let the "helpful" group of demons stay, but sent them far away from the actual town and gave them plenty of space out in the countryside. In return, they took care of all the supernatural occurrences with in the area. (4)
The mayor cringed. "Are they demons?"
The boy's light blue eyes glinted mischievously. "Only two are right now, but more will be coming."
That was not what the mayor wanted to hear.
"But I assure you," the boy was at the door. "They are just as tame as our lovable bunch."
The boy had shut the door behind him and left the mayor in a state of near panic. Thankfully, there was medication for that.
Outside the office stood a girl. She appeared much like the boy, only had curly brown hair which reached her shoulders.
"How'd it go?" she asked, eager to hear from her brother.
"It could have gone better," he sighed. "Are they waiting outside?"
"Yes, Drewen. They said they'd let you take care of the mayor before we get the Spirit Detective remember."
"Hmm, must've forgotten," Drewen scratched his head. "Say Tru, what do you think they're like?"
"I don't know," Truence answered in all sincerity. "Kyle said the tournament was amazing, but that doesn't really tell you much about character does it?"
"We know they like to fight."
"Well, that's one thing."
"C'mon, we can't leave Koenma and Botan waiting."
Drewen and Truence rushed out of the mayor's building and into a nearby running car.
