"Koenma?" Yusuke asked as he walked into Koenma's office, not seeing him anywhere, "Botan said you were in here."

"Up here!" he said, "Can you get onto my desk?"

"I don't know if I can jump that high," Yusuke said when Kurama leaped onto the desk with ease and Hiei followed with Kuwabara in his mouth. "Oh come on!"

Kurama asked, "You turned into a dwarf hamster?"

"A little help here!" Yusuke asked, then barked a few times.

Hiei said, "Jump!"

He did, and his front paws made it. He clamered to the point where his shoulders and head were on the desk. Kurama leaned over and did his best to pull him up the rest of the way. "I'm up!" Yusuke shouted as he collapsed, "Thanks Kurama."

"Great," Koenma said, "now I have claw marks all over my desk."

Yusuke asked, "So what about these pillar things? What the hell happened?"

"Someone is distrupting the delicate balance between worlds," Koenma explained, "if it goes any further then all humans will turn into demons and all demons will turn into humans."

"No!" Hiei said in horror.

Kuwabara shouted, "I don't want to be a demon!"

"It'll be fine," Kurama said, "we only need to find these pillars and put them back into balance. Where are they?"

Koenma started scurrying around his desk before he stopped on a paper and said, "Here, they're past the river styks, past the valley of fire, and in the desert of loneliness."

"Damn," Yusuke said as he examined the mountains in front of them, "that's a whole lot of ground to cover with just four little legs."

"Hey guys!" Kuwabara shouted from behind, "Wait for me! Some of our legs are shorter than others you know."

Hiei asked, "Would you at least try to keep up?"

In a flash, the energies around each of them changed. They examined themselves and realized they had transformed yet again. "Now what?" Yusuke demanded as he examined himself. He was back in human form, but he had dog ears and a tail. They all had animal ears and a tail.

"Weird," Kuwabara said as he whipped his mouse tail around and whipped Hiei in the face.

"Would you watch it!" Hiei shouted.

"You're just upset you're not bigger than me anymore!" Kuwabara replied.

Yusuke said, "Great, now we look like furries. Kurama, you don't like much different from Yoko."

Kurama examined himself and said, "Well right now my ears and tail are red, when usually they're white if I'm Yoko Kurama. This isn't really much different. The pillars must have moved again. At least in this form we'll be able to move faster."

"You mean we actually made it here already?" Yusuke asked in shock as he examined the three pillars in front of them, balancing one on top of the other on one end, "I figured getting here would be the hardest part."

"Yeah," Kuwabara said, "I thought we'd run into trouble for sure."

"About time someone showed up for this," a man in a purple suit said as he jumped down in front of them.

Yusuke said, "Dammit there's always something in the way."

"Who are you?" Kurama demanded.

"The name's Kengo," he answered, "and I see the pillars are messing with the balance of worlds already. Look at you, what are you supposed to be, some sort of cat?"

Kuwabara said, "No he's a fox, he's the cat." He looked over at Hiei.

Kengo replied, "Not for long." He jumped up and moved the pillar.

"No!" Yusuke shouted.

The pillars shifted further. The energies changed and they all looked down at themselves. All animal attributes had disappeared. Kuwabara said, "We went back to normal."

Kurama explained, "No, we didn't, look." He pointed to Hiei.

"What?!" Hiei shouted. His hair no longer defied gravity, his eyes were now dark brown and his jagan was gone.

Kengo confessed, "I will admit I expected Koenma to make his ogers come here so I wasn't prepared for human children. Three out of the four of you are human children, the other a demon child. As if any of you could do anything to harm me."

Kuwabara summoned his spirit sword and shouted, "Watch it! Just because we're human doesn't mean we're weak!" He made it get longer and tried to swing at him, only for some of the pillars to move slightly.

"Careful Kuwabara," Kurama warned, "if we destroy the pillar all worlds will go into chaos."

"That's probably exactly what this Kengo creep wants," Yusuke said. Just like that, Kengo started moving around them in the air at lightning speed. "Kuwabara where is this guy?"

"I can't tell!" he replied, "he's disguising his energy!"

"Hiei?" Yusuke asked.

"I can't see anything!" he shouted, "I have pathetic human vision now!"

"Above!" Kurama shouted as he jumped out of the way.

Yusuke shouted, "Thanks for the-what the-?" just as he tried to punch Kengo and he disappeared again.

He demanded from a distance, "How did you sense me? Your fox sense are gone now."

"I felt the air shift toward me," he answered, "you're obviously not skilled at fighting, which is why you tried to weaked us by moving these pillars."
