Asami

"Black Bird? Why does that name sound familiar?" Boton said thinking while tapping her finger on her lips.

"Wow, you spirit world people are something else if you don't know who Black Bird is, especially since she has just caught one of you just recently. She catches demons and sells their 'products' on the black market. For example she grounds ogre horns for medicine and she takes orphan souls and sells them to demons," I said suggested waiting for some recognition on her face, "She sometimes steals reapers and harnesses their powers to give to human mercenaries or demons to make them stronger."

"Oh right…" Boton said finally with some recognition and disappointment on her face.

"You're a reaper yourself, aren't you? I didn't think it was physically possible for a reaper not to know who their biggest threat was. I mean come on; I heard she's killed at least three reapers in the past year. And killed another one last week I heard," I said almost laughing at her stupidity. I wonder if I could get my brother back in exchange for her. It was highly possible and would be very easy since its obvious she a ditz. However, I don't believe in making a deal with someone who I want to kill. She hurt my brother and now she was going to die.

"How are we supposed to find this lady?" Yusuke asked, staring at me with distrust and his hands in his pocket. I doubt had anything to take me down in there, but his fingers were dangerous weapons. Especially since he has that spirit gun. I wouldn't want to get hit with that at the moment.

"Right now she's in a cottage by Mt. Fuji. Fitting considering what she does," I answered with a small smile. No matter what I say, this boy is smart enough to not trust me. Oh well, I might be able to kill him in his sleep if he becomes troublesome. I could only hope that he would trust my information and let me lead him there. That would make it easier to get my brother back.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Yusuke asked looking down at me. No one looked down at me and left with their eyes intact, but I needed him at the moment.

"Mt. Fuji is the number one spot in the world where you humans commit suicide. The things she does there would drive any living thing crazy enough to kill themselves. I have heard that some demons beg for death because of her torturing," I said darkly. Silently I told myself that my brother was suffering there right now while I stood here with the person who wanted to arrest me.

"I've never about heard that," Kuwabara said confidently. "I don't even believe that either," He said smiling a stupid grin. He must be a stupid human as well.

"Well then you're one of the stupidest people in this country called Japan," I said to him, "I'll lead you there and help you get the dagger. In exchange, I ask for spirit world to leave me alone forever. Do we have a deal?" I said looking at the spirit detective. I wasn't going to be able to get to her on my own and still be able to get my brother afterword. It's much easier to have someone else there to do the fighting while I ran with my brother.

"How can we make a deal with you? We don't even know if you're telling the truth?" Boton said outraged. She was going to be harder to deal with. A reaper's disappearance was discovered rather quickly in spirit world.

"How 'bout we check out her story and if it's good then we'll decide," Yusuke said. I wanted to yell that we didn't have time but that would have raised more questions, questions that I didn't want or need to answer. It would just be giving away unnecessary information.

"Okay. You can check out my story. If you want to agree to the deal, Kurama knows where to find me," I said and started to walk away from the group. There was nothing more to say if they weren't going to agree to my deal at the moment.

"How do we know you won't run away? You haven't shown up at school for the past two days. How can we trust you?" Kurama asked. I spun around and started down at him. He was daring to insult my honor by suggesting I was going to run away. Besides, school was boring and I didn't want to deal with everyone while I was injured. Humans were annoying.

"You dare insult my honor, by suggesting that I would run away," I snarled. Wolf demons were different from other demons. We were proud, honorable creatures, unlike most others.

"I'll watch her," Hiei said leaving no room for anyone other to offer any other suggestions.

"I thought you didn't want to help?" Yusuke asked.

"It's sparked my interest," He responded staring at me. It was a good thing I had a true ally here.

Mt. Fuji is really the number one place people commit suicide. The reason is because most kids crack under pressure from their parents. They have two weeks at the most for summer break and the rest is school. And at parent/teacher conferences, parents will scold their children instead of blaming the teacher. I love Japan, the culture, language, and history. (I know a lot even though I live in America.) Although kids who go to a school in Japan have higher test scores than school in America, the stress is a lot less in America. More time off school so you don't go crazy I guess. I feel bad for those kids in Japan with all their silly laws and pressure. I apologize to any Japanese that read this, because I don't mean this to be insulting.
