I know I said that it'd be about a week, cause I thought that I was going to be working today, but that didn't happen and I'm bored so I'm writing... again. Again, it's still kinda slow-moving (to me anyway). Action, comedy, and the like will be coming in the next chapter!!

"Thank god it's over!" Ryann practically sprinted out of the classroom and left the evil building she had to stay in for hours on end. She ignored the odd looks she received for the outburst, and the glares she was still getting from the fangirls, and began walking back to her apartment. Ookami better not have gotten in trouble again. I swear that wolf will be the death of me. Sigh.

As her apartment building became visible, she got a strange feeling in the pit of her stomach. She did a quick scan for any demon energy in the area and promptly ducked into an alley and out of sight. Here? How did he get here? Scratch that, how did he find me here!? Okay, I have to hurry home and get Ooka. She slowly looked around the corner of the building and, seeing nothing out of the ordinary, began to slowly slink out of the alley. Sighing with relief, she began to speed walk down the street. A hand shot out from behind a randomly placed car, and a sharp, dazzling pain in her head caused Ryann to slowly lose consciousness. Oh damn.

'Shuichi' had stayed after the final bell to study a bit more, and to contemplate the new girl in his class. There was something strange about her. I wonder why she froze up in the hallway earlier? And I can sense something in her, but I'm not sure what. It's unusual... He shook his head and started packing up his books, accidentally knocking a pen off the table. His eyes followed it as it rolled down the floor to the back of the room, and stopped near a notebook.

I wonder... He opened it to see who it belonged to, and saw the name 'Ryann Yukiko' surrounded by little drawings of mythical creatures and intricate daggers. Wow, she's an artist. Well, I better return this to her. He put her notebook in his bag and began walking up the street that Ryan had been an hour or two earlier. Onagomi-sensei had given Kurama her address, phone number, and such in case he needed to contact her. He was, of course, in charge of her for atleast the first week of school. Strange.

He walked up two flights of stairs to Ryann's apartment, and knocked on the door. All he heard in response was a startled yelp and a crash. Worried that someone had gotten hurt, he turned the knob and was surprised to find it was unlocked. A pure black wolf pup was laying upside-down about a foot away from a broken flower vase. He immediately jumped up and began to growl at the newcomer. He doesn't smell like a four-legger. I wonder what he is? Ookami though to himself.

"Hey little guy, are you alright?" Kurama asked the pup. Averting his eyes from the glaring canine, he looked around the apartment. "Ryann? Sorry to barge in but you left your notebook at school!" Receiving no answer, tried to walk further down the hallway. The wolf was still growling and attempting to block the path to his mistress's room.

First she doesn't come home, now an intruder wants to come in and nose around? I don't think so. I just hope she forgives me for doing this! Seeing Kurama step over his small form, Ookami closed his eyes, shimmering for a minute, and grew larger than the average adult wolf. He turned and let a low growl form in his throat.

Kurama spun around and came face to face with a huge wolf where the pup had been. His eyes narrowed and his hand started moving to the rose hidden in his red locks. With a flick of his wrist, the rose transformed to his infamous rose whip and he took a fighter stance infront of the wolf.

The two realized at the same time that they both had demonic powers. Kurama retracted his whip and Ookami sat down, looking oddly at the boy infront of him. He opened his mind to the strange being and asked telepathically, What are you? You don't smell like a human to me?

Kurama blinked and tilted his head. You don't seem like an ordinary wolf either. I'm a fox demon in this human form.

I thought you were a canine. Why are you here? And do you know where my mistress is?

She left her book in class today. You don't know where Ryann is either?

Oh no... The worried tone of the wolf's voice unnerved him further. He could see the frightened look in his eyes and immediately began to wonder if the wolf knew where she was.

Ooka walked around Kurama and walked into his owner's bedroom. He crawled under the bed and came back up with a box of pictures and notes. Nosing the box back into the hallway, he addressed Kurama again. What's your name, fox?

Ryann knows me as Shuichi Minamino, as do all other humans. My close friends call me Kurama, though. Shuichi is my human name. And what should I call you? He followed the wolf into the kitchen and saw it motioning with its head to the table. Kurama reached down and picked up the box, placing it on the table and taking a seat.

I am Ookami, and I'm Ryann's pet and guardian. Evidently I failed. She's been kidnapped, I'm sure, by a wolf demon from the Makai. His name is Kanaye. All I know is that he's been after Ryann for a while, which is why we're here.

After looking at a picture of a seemingly normal boy with his arm around an annoyed looking Ryann, Kurama turned to Ookami with an odd expression. Why are you telling me?

Ooka stared at him. You are one of the Spirit Detectives, are you not? You work for Koenma. This is a kidnapping involving a demon. He'll probably call you in a while, once it's confirmed that Kanaye kidnapped her, but it's probably better to go now, don't you think?

"Crazy wolf." Kurama took the picture and began walking to the door. He assumed the wolf was right, and decided to brief Yusuke and Kuwabara on what he knew before Koenma called them.

You know, I can understand human speech!!! Ookami huffed and grabbed the box in his mouth, walking back into the bedroom. He curled up on her bed and inhaled her scent, gently whining to himself.

"So, theres this girl from your school, and she's been kidnapped by a wolf demon... And you found this out by talking to her pet wolf with demonic powers?" Yusuke gave Kurama a strange look after he explained everything he had just learned. "Have you been smoking some of those freaky Makai plants?"

Kurama glared at the detective and glanced over at Kuwabara, who was on the floor playing with his cat, Eikichi. He rolled his eyes and sat down, waiting for the call from Koenma. Yusuke was chuckling at his own joke and went back to playing a video game. After a couple minutes, the door to Yusuke's apartment slowly opened and Kurama saw Botan slink in with the briefcase. Botan put a finger to her lips and tiptoed up to the couch Yusuke was sitting on, his attention fixed on his game. Kuwabara was still focused on the cat. Kurama smirked as Botan inhaled deeply but silently, and he plugged his ears.

"YUSUKE!!!"

"GAH!!!" Yusuke jumped in the air and fell on the floor, nearly squashing Eikichi in the process. Instead, he landed on Kuwabara, who had jolted forward and was face-down on the carpet. "Damn it Botan, don't do that! What do you want, anyway?"

Botan was giggling slightly, and put the briefcase on the floor, opening it towards the group. Koenma in his toddler form appeared on screen.

"I have a mission for you. A 17-year-old girl was kidnapped by a wolf demon earlier today. The demon in question is named Kanaye and keeping her for some odd reason. Her name is Ryann Yukiko, and as far as I know, there is nothing particularly special about her. Either way, it is your job to find her and bring her back. I'll send a portal near his cave in half an hour."

Yusuke had an odd look on his face and turned slowly to Kurama. "How did you know this?"

"The wolf told me."

Yusuke grinned sheepishly and turned to Botan with a vein sticking out on his forehead. "And why did you need to scare the hell out of me?!?!" Kurama walked out of the room and down to the street. He saw a blur and looked to his left.

"Hello Hiei. We have a mission, but I doubt you want to come with us."

"To rescue a ningen girl from a wolf demon? I have better things to do."

Kurama hid a smile. "Then why are you here, if you don't mind me asking?"

"Hn. Apparently my will to go doesn't matter anymore." He glared out into space and Kurama began to chuckle. So Koenma is making you come.

The toddler is threatening me with prison. The glare intensified and Hiei's hand began to smoke.

"Um, Hiei? You're hand is on fire." The smoke ended and Kurama looked forward again. The two walked in silence for a while, until he turned to the fire demon and asked,"Do you know anything we don't about this case?"

"No. Why would I?" Hiei looked at the fox in annoyance. Kurama put his hands up in defense and backed away slightly. Hiei paused a moment, and rolled his eyes. "The bakas are coming."

Heavy footsteps behind them caused the two to turn to Yusuke and Kuwabara running down the street. "Koenma's about to set up the portal in the park. We better go there now. It seems like forever since I've had a real mission. I'm ready to kick some demon ass!!" Yusuke turned around and ran back the way they came. Kuwabara looked after him and sighed, panting slightly. He, too, began running in the other direction.

"Shall we?" Kurama looked to Hiei. A slight breeze blew by and he was nowhere in sight. Kurama shook his head and walked calmly after the two, thinking about what would come.

There, all four boys, and Botan are now in the story. Hah! This part actually had no pre-planning, so I hope it isn't that bad. I was just bored and yeah. I might end up re-writing it eventually but it fits so... Ja! More shall come, eventually!! Hehehe...
