A/N: I'm really sorry for the hold up. It's been over a year since I updated this story. Isn't that amazing?

While Yuske set up the lie detector, Botan watched with utmost curiosity at the strange designs Koenma added to it. As Yuske himself observed the unusual item, he figured Koenma must have been high on something to think it up. It was quite easy to set up due to the simple structure; not one tool was needed for anything, even wiring was easy to do. He stood back to observe a half-hour's share of work.

"Hey, now since I have it put together, what'll I use it on?" Yuske asked.

Botan shrugged. "Why don't you give it a test?"

"Maybe I can test it on Kuwabara? He can be my lab rat…" He paused to look around. "But wait. Where the hell is Kuwabara?"

"He probably left." Botan turned to leave. "I've got to go finish up a few errands. Toodles!" She paused at the doorway and gasped.

"What's wrong?" Yuske asked. He saw her slowly back away – from a very angry Kuwabara. Kuwabara turned his head, eyes piercing at Yuske.

Between barred teeth, he yelled, "Urameshi…you…son of a bitch…look what you did to me!" It didn't take long for Yuske to notice the strange feature – a missing eyebrow. For a second, he gaped, trying to find the right words to say. Instead, he simply burst out laughing. "It isn't funny!" Kuwabara yelled again. "I want my eyebrow back!"

"Then why are you yelling at me about it?" Yuske soon retorted.

"You mean…you didn't shave it off?" Kuwabara asked, blown with confusion.

"Of course not!"

"Why were you gone? Were you too cowardly of my reaction? You shaved it off, didn't you?"

"I did not!"

Botan sat down watched the two argue about it for over half an hour. A brilliant idea came to her; she snapped up and said, "I know what you can do!"

"What?"

"Make a list of possible suspects. After interrogating each person, conclude the real suspect! And we'll use the lie detector to be positively sure."

Kuwabara scratched his head. "You're joking, right?"

"That might be a good idea," Yuske said. "Start with a list."

"Hmm…let's see…the only one on the list so far is…you."

"No, seriously. What if it was Koenma?" Yuske asked. "Or Kurama, Hiei, or…Keiko?"

"Nah. It's definitely not Kurama. He's too…what's the word I'm looking for – proper," said Kuwabara.

"Maybe we'd better make a list first," Botan butted in.

Eager to get to the suspect so that he could get a fair revenge, Kuwabara grabbed a pen and paper and quickly began jotting down names:

Yuske

Botan

Koenma

Keiko

Hiei

…

"Looks like we're gonna have to narrow it down," Yuske said. He grabbed the telephone.

"Who are you calling?" asked Kuwabara.

"Keiko." He waited, then spoke when Keiko answered, "Um…yeah…Keiko? I have several questions for you…no…I just was asking if you happened to come by last night…Oh, I was just asking, that's all. So you were studying? …No! It's not what you think it is...Uh-huh. That's nice…err…later."

"What did she say?"

Yuske frowned. "She said she was studying and also said that I was being creepy. You can mark her off the list."

"Am I missing anything?" a voice said. Everyone flinched when they saw Koenma perched on the window.

"Damn! Don't scare me like that, man!"

Koenma ignored him and got up. He paused to inspect Kuwabara. "Hmm…What did you do to your face?"

"That's what I should be asking you!" Kuwabara snorted.

"Nope. That's not any of my doing. I don't shave."

"I guess we can cross Koenma off the list…" Yuske muttered.

"Who else are you going to ask?" Koenma asked.

All of a sudden, there was a knock on the door. Botan got it. Hiei, followed by Kurama (who was wearing a fluffy, furry red coat around his shoulders), came inside. Hiei was telling Kurama how the taste the pancakes didn't satisfy him enough. He stopped when he saw everyone looking at them.

"Are we missing anything?" Hiei asked in his usual boredom. He looked up at Kuwabara. "What a lovely look you got going there," he said sarcastically. "I envy you."

"Now, now," Koenma said. "Let's not start anything right now-"

"I bet you did it, didn't you Hiei?" Kuwabara asked. His lips menacingly curled.

"No. As if I would do anything that retarded."

Kuwabara frowned. Then, he eyed every single person in the room with suspicion, pointed to the new lie detector, and seethed between his teeth, "If Hiei, Yuske, Koenma, Keiko, Botan, or me didn't do it, then who did?!"

Everyone stepped back…Of course, everyone except Kurama.

Kurama stepped up. "I admit it. I shaved your eyebrow, and you have my sincerest apologies."

Everybody in the room, including a shocked-looking Kuwabara, looked at Kurama in shock.

Stunned, Kuwabara asked, "Just look at my face! If-If you're sorry, then…W-Why did you do that in the first place?"

"…My coat had a spot torn off…And your eyebrows, they were the only color that matched my fur coat…" Kurama said.

Everyone was speechless. Koenma stood up and clapped his hands. "Case closed."

"At least we didn't have to use the lie detector," Yuske mumbled, glad how easy this case was.

"Oh, that's no lie detector, you silly goose!" Koenma said.

"If it's not a lie detector…what is it?"

"It's a brain-fryer."

A/N: Finished.
