BWJL (me): pout no s'mores. WHY OH WHY MUST I BE SUCH AN EXCELLENT WRITER!! ……no one answer that.

Yusuke: We've learned not to.

Hiei: Your stories suck.

Kurama: Well, most of us.

Me: CHEESE OFF JAGANSHI! tackle Hiei

Kurama: sigh BlackwolfJaganshiLover does not own YuYuHakusho, nor any of the affiliated things you may or may not recognize from this story.

Yusuke: Big words….ow.

Chapter two: All aboard for a bumpy ride!

In Makai, a portal opened up. Screaming could be heard from inside, and from out of the portal, the four detectives dropped to the ground. Kurama and Hiei landed on their feet gracefully. Yusuke also landed on his feet, with less grace than the two demons, until Kuwabara's body pelted him to the ground.

"KURAMA!!" Yusuke shouted, disentangling himself from Kuwabara's limbs. "Don't you have a plant to wake him up or something?" Kurama chuckled and searched through his hair. The flower he pulled out has purple and red petals with a black stem. Kurama shook the plant over his palm and orange pollen piled up. He bent over Kuwabara's body and blew the orange pollen in his Kuwabara's face. Kuwabara's eyelids flew open and he jumped away from Kurama with his hand on his nose.

"Man that stinks! What is that?" He shouted. Kurama laughed and tucked the plant away into his hair.

"Just my own invention. Now come, we must rescue the girls." Kuwabara jumped up.

"WHAT! They have my Yukina!!" He ran away as fast as he could, a cloud of dust trailing him. All three detectives sweat-dropped.

"So," Yusuke said slowly, "how long do you think it'll take before he has no idea where he's going?" Yusuke and Kurama looked to the blood red sky thoughtfully (A/N: Gasp, Yusuke thinking!) while Hiei smirked in the direction Kuwabara ran. Kurama groaned.

"Hiei, you'd better fetch him." Hiei glared and 'hn'ed.

"Hn. Why should I? He'd just slow us down. Besides, I have no doubt the enemy knows of our presence, now thanks to that buffoon." Yusuke and Kurama sighed and sat down.

"Regardless, go get him." Hiei glared at him, then sighed and proofed away, not a speck of dust or dirt giving even a hint that he was ever there. The remaining two stayed in that spot for about five minutes before Hiei contacted Kurama telepathically.

-Fox. - His mind voice thingy rang unusually with feigned amazement and urgency. Kurama raised an eyebrow. At Yusuke's inquiring look, Kurama mouthed 'Hiei.' –Fox, you'll never guess.-

What, Hiei?" He said back, a smile tugging at his mouth.

-The moron actually went the right way! - Kurama stifled a mixture of a laugh and a mock gasp of amazement. He motioned to Yusuke to follow him.

Understood. I'm on my way. Kurama began running after them and Yusuke, after starting after him, realized where they were going. He began laughing.

"Wait, so Kuwabara actually went the right way?" Kurama chuckled.

"Yes. I know, I'm amazed as well, Yusuke. Who knew Kuwabara had so much luck?" The parapets were just coming into view, as well as Hiei and Kuwabara. Kuwabara waved them over wildly.

"HEY GUYS! OVER HERE!" Hiei rolled their eyes and scowled.

"Be quiet, you imbecile. The mission is taxing on my patience already and listening to your obnoxious voice isn't helping." Kuwabara growled and help up a fist, supposedly threateningly.

"You got something to say to me, shorty!?!" Hiei glared up at him.

"If I said anything to you, it'd just be a waste of my breath."

"WHY YOU LITTLE-!"

"Kuwabara, please be silent!" Kurama hissed impatiently.

"But why? They probably already know we're here." Hiei glanced impatiently at the castle looming overhead.

"And whose fault is that?" He growled out angrily. Kurama and Yusuke exchanged uneasy and confused glances while Kuwabara seethed. Yusuke spoke first.

"Man, Hiei, what crawled up your ass and died?" Hiei glared at them and snarled.

"I'm sorry, I missed the part where that's any of your business!" Yusuke held up his hands defensively in the classic 'don't-shoot-I'm-innocent!' gesture.

"Okay, Okay. You don't need to bite my head off!"

Hiei whirled around so his cloak flapped behind him. He stomped toward the castle, steam literally rising from him. A few steps more and a kind of blue sparkly light floated off of him. He stopped and looked up in time to see a light blue force field with a honey-comb shaped pattern fade from view.

"Well," Kurama stated carefully, "it appears Hiei has discovered the barrier for us." Unseen by the others, on of Hiei's normal eyes twitched. He continued towards the castle and heard three shimmering sounds as the others passed though the barrier behind him.

Hiei took off his bandana and began searching for the familiar energy signature he knew as his sister's. But instead, he found another familiar signature. One he hadn't sensed for over two centuries. 'What the fuck?' Hiei thought. 'Why the hell is she here…..oh, duh!' He found the other girls easily then hastily put his bandana on. He turned to the others.

"They're in the basement."

"We'll have to search for a way down." Kurama said thoughtfully.

"Or we could make one." Yusuke suggested, drawing his fist back and powering up.

"NO!" Kurama said sharply, grabbing Yusuke's wrist. "Think, Yusuke. These are ruins. If we just blast a hole through the ground, the structure could collapse and crush the girls." Yusuke scowled darkly but lowered his fist. "Thank you Yusuke." Hiei snorted.

"It seems they prepared for us." Kurama nodded and took a rose from his hair.

"So it seems." Behind them, the two humans exchanged glances and nodded. Kuwabara drew his spirit sword and Yusuke walked forward.

"Well guys, I guess it's time to get our girls and that fourth chick back."

BWJL: I know, I know, it was a weak ending.

Hiei: Speaking of weak-

Me: DON'T. Start. With me, Jaganshi. Review please. The little button down there is lonely. It's shouting 'click me, and you get to hit Kuwabara with a baseball bat!'

Hiei: Smirk I like that thing.
