Demon Detectives ch 4
Sorry for making you wait, I have just moved house and I couldn't get any Internet for two weeks. But hopefully the update was worth the wait. (Probably not, but maybe.)
SakuraStar12: Thanks for reviewing, and your getting closer, keep on guessing, or not you're choice. Here's the update, sorry if you don't like it.
sailorangelmoon1: Thank you for you're review, unfortunately you won't know their relationship for awhile since this will hopefully be a long fanfic, hopefully. But I'm hoping to make it fun to read anyway. Enjoy the update.
This'll be another long chapter and it gets kind of dark.

Blood Red Moon
"How far is it Suzuka?" Jin asked, he was getting irritated walking since he's so used to flying. They had been walking for only 10 minutes. Most of them had no idea of where they were headed, not even Shishi but only Suzuka knew.
"We'll be there soon, so stop whining!" He whispered harshly. Jin was really starting to irritate him, that was at least the fifth time Jin had asked that annoying question. The others didn't mind too much since they were also tired.
Botan suddenly remembered something Suzuka had stated earlier. "Suzuka, what did you mean when you said there was a storm coming earlier?" She asked curiously. The others also looked to him. Suzuka thought for a moment, then it hit him.
"Oh yeah, I sensed it from the trees. Something bad is coming and I don't mean an actual storm." He explained. Botan was still confused. 'Does it have something to do with tonight, I wonder?' Botan couldn't put her finger on it but she has a bad feeling that its about Koenma and what he needs them for. 'What are you thinking Koenma?'
"Okay guys we're here." Suzuka stated. Everyone stopped in their tracks. "And where's here, exactly?" Chu asked with a bottle of liquor in his hand. They were standing in front of an old abandoned shack which look liked it would collapse at any given moment. Rinku snorted. "How can you drink at a time like this?" Touya, Shishi and Botan sweat dropped. "Where did he even get that to begin with?" Jin laughed his head off which forced Neko B to cover his ears.
"Damn, will someone shut that idiot up? Nya. My ears are ringing from the noise!" He wailed. Jin stopped quickly after. Botan picked Neko B up and cradled him like a little baby. She smiled down at him and he blushed (if cats could blush). Jin snickered. "Aw is tha' little baby sore?" He mocked. Neko B bit him on the hand. "Ouch, lassie you should keep an eye out on the thing!"
Botan chuckled slightly which Jin scowled at. "Sorry Jin I didn't mean to laugh." She said. Jin couldn't hold a grudge, especially if it's Botan. You could say Jin has special feelings for the ferry girl. Although him being a demon, which is a creature who doesn't usually go by their heart, couldn't say for sure. 'I think I realised my feelings for the deity near the end of the Makai tourney'. He thought.
'Come ta think o' it, the Makai Tourney was the las' time I saw the lass until a few days ago.' Jin thought to himself. He was still staring at the deity which she felt unsettled by. "Jin? Are you okay?" She asked nervously. Jin mentally slapped himself and shook his head. "Yah, sorry abou' that." He chuckled nervously. Botan smiled at him and turned when everyone else was walking away. "We better go, yeah?" She asked. He nodded and followed the others into the shack.
"It's a whole lot bigger when you go inside, isn't it?" Suzuka asked, Touya nodded. "Yes, I have to say I'm surprised." Shishi saw Jin and Botan enter last. He narrowed his eyes at Jin. "Where were you two?" Botan chuckled at this. "No where, I promise." Jin went up to Shishiwakamaru and ruffled his hair good naturedly, bad mistake. Shishi wacked Jin's hand away and snarled at him. "What do you think you're doing?" Jin backed away cautiously.
"Wow, now I was just kiddin'. No need to take it so seriously, sheesh." Shishi approached him and lifted Jin up by his neck. Jin struggled for breath and tried to pry his pursuer's hand from his neck. "You're really pissing me off." Jin tried to gulp but couldn't. Botan tried to pull Shishi away but he pushed her quite harshly.
"Alright blokes, knock it off!" Chu tried but failed. Shishi would not move. A strectch mark formed on the Aussie's forehead. "Okay, it looks like we'll have to try it the hard way." Chu got his fist ready and punched Shishi straight in the face. It didn't hurt him so much, more like surprised him. He let Jin go, said demon dropped to the ground hard. "Ouchie, thanks Chu." Shishi had a blank look then snarled at Chu. "Why the hell did you do that for?!" Suzuka went up to him and smacked him on the forehead.
"What do you mean what happened? You almost suffocated Jin." Shishi looked below him at Jin then smirked. "I did? Then why did you stop me then?" Suzuka sighed. "Although we're high class demons, it appears that the Blood Red Moon still effects us, slightly." Touya shook his head. "But that's never happened before though." Botan gasped. Touya, who was kneeling beside her gave her hand a reassuring squeeze. "Please, Botan don't worry about it."
Although his words were meant to comfort the deity, she still had her doubts. Suzuka sighed slightly but went to sit down against the wall. "I would offer some tea, but we don't have any I'm afraid." Jin chuckled. "Aye, but there's gotta be somethin' we could do to pass the time." Jin still looked at Shishi through the corner of his eye. "An' don' think of attacking me again." Shishi snorted. "As if."
"Well, lucky for you Jin, that the Blood Red Moon is tonight, eh?" Rinku chided in. Botan blanched. "Tonight?" Touya looked to her and smiled sweetly. "Yeah, you were out for a whole day, I'm afraid." Neko B jumped onto her shoulder. "And don't scare me like that again. Nya." She smiled at him. In truth, she was getting tired of fearing the Blood Red Moon. The others were there to protect her and she fears she may have insulted them by doing so. She just shook the fear right out of her mind.
"You shouldn't be so scared Botan, besides it only lasts for an hour anyway." Chu added. Botan fell over anime style then walked quickly over to him. "Are you serious?!" Chu sweat dropped but nodded. "Hn, I thought she already knew, it ain't my fault." Shishi stated. Suzuka chuckled. "No one was blaming you." Fire was in the girl's eyes and all the boys cowered. "Why didn't anyone tell me sooner?!" She yelled. Neko B covered his ears. "Why is everyone trying to deafen me today?"
Botan stormed off in a huff. The rest of them breathed a sigh of relief then they realised Botan was off on her own. Whoops.
xXx
"I can't believe those guys. Making me worry for nothing." She kept on walking, which was in a nearby forest. She stopped then looked worriedly around herself. 'Oh great Botan, you just had to get yourself lost. Didn't you?' She sighed deeply, maybe if she tried to retrace her steps she would find her way back. And that's what's she did, well tried to do.
She didn't recognise anything, let's face it, she was lost. 'Oh no no no, what if I can't make it back by nightfall? This is bad, this is so bad!' She heard rustling behind her. 'Is it them? Or maybe, something bad?' She turned slowly around, but when she did she was faced with some angry villagers.
"There! She was the girl with the demon scum!" Said a male villager. "Get her!" Botan screamed and ran the other way. 'Wait, I'm pratically death, I shouldn't be...' A piece of twig, which served as a torch light flew right past her. 'Run, RUn, RUN!'
She would've ran further if it weren't for a cliff. She gulped, this was defiently bad. "We have her cornered!" Botan smirked at this. Lucky for her she has an oar. She summoned it then hopped on. The villagers gaped at her and some even started to run away. "A witch! She's a witch!" But unlucky for her there were a few who decided to stay. Those few threw torches at her, hoping to burn the oar she was on.
She tried to fly away but one torch managed to nick a bit of the oar. That little nick set the whole oar to flames. Botan screamed as she fell, plummeting down to the green below her.
xXx
Jin, Shishi and the others decided to split up looking for her. They decided to meet back at the shack an hour before the Red Moon appeared. Shishi and Suzuka were looking near a cliff.
"Ssh." Suzuka whispered. "I hear something." Shishi looked to their right and noticed a bright light. It was those villagers from earlier. "Idiots, if they keep those torches lit then they'll be sure to attract demon scum." Suzuka nodded at this, but there wasn't anything they could do. If they told them then no doubt the villagers would chase after them. And they were already in a rush to find Botan as it is.
"We should go around them." Shishi suggested. They went on to do just that but noticed a change in the villagers. "Why have they stopped? Have they spotted us?" Shishi asked. Suzuka shook his head. "No, something must have happened." They then heard a scream, which sounded exactly like the ferry girl. "Botan?"
The villagers then started to run, as if chasing something. "I think we've solved two of our problems at once." They then followed the villagers in the trees. They were quiet like ninjas. They soon came across a cliff and saw the ferry girl shake with fear.
"We have her cornered!" They heard a female say. They were about to jump down and save her when Shishi noticed the smirk on her face. She immediately summoned her oar and began to fly away. Some villagers ran away in the trees below them." A witch! She's a witch!"
'If only they knew. ' Shishi thought. Unfortunately some villagers decided to stay and threw bits of twig which were on fire at her. A bit hit her oar and she started plummeting down to the trees below her. Shishi gaped and transformed into his true form and flew away after her. Promising the villagers true pain once he retrieved her.
The villagers which remained noticed this and looked above them to see blonde hair and emerald eyes. Suzuka sighed deeply then jumped down in front of the enraged villagers. He looked below him to the cliff. "Looks like I'm left to be found out, thanks for nothing Shishi." He then turned to the villagers and got into a fighting stance. "It looks like you've tried to hurt one of my friends. Even though I've gone easy on you in the past I won't hold back now." The villagers just ignored that last comment and began to attack him. Suzuka smirked. "You're all getting really annoying. This'll be fun!"
xXx
It was dark. That was all she could see, then a light. She was now standing on a hilltop looking down at what she thought was Makai. She turned to her right when she noticed silver. It was a female youkai, with cat ears. She took a few steps closer to the silver-haired being.
"Who- who are you?" She had asked. The youkai acknowledged her presence by looking slightly to her. She had three small scars on her cheek. "In time, I promise." Botan then felt a burning sensation on her left hand. She held it up to her face then everything came back to her. "The Red Moon, the villagers. Fire. I remember now." What could be seen on the youkai's scarred face was a small smile.
"You better go back now, you have a job to do remember?" Then said silver-haired demon disappeared. All went black again.
She awoke groggily and slowly got up. 'What was that dream about?' She then noticed her hair was undone. 'Now, where did my bobble go off to?' She moved her hands around her when her left hand became painful. She looked at it like her dream and noticed some bruises thanks to the flames. 'I keep on forgetting.' Then it hit her. "Wait how am I still alive?"
She heard running water and saw a glowing stream. She had found her bobble and tied her hair back to it's usual ponytail. She rushed over ignoring her slight dizziness. She took a handful of water and poured some on her left hand. She winced at the substance but continued on. She stopped when her hand was slightly better. "I doubt the water will help any more."
There was a splashing noise to her right and what she saw made her blush. Standing to her right was a topless Shishiwakamaru standing in the middle of the stream. Although he was facing forward his eyes met hers. He then pulled his hair tie out and let his blue hair flow with the gentle breeze. He got his sword out and began waving his sword around, breaking their eye contact.
Botan was mesmerised. Shishi looked like the water himself, flowing as the water did. Making gentle movements that she never thought demons could have. 'It's so enchanting, as if I were cast by a spell.' He continued on for a few minutes then suddenly stopped. He got out and went toward her. She brought herself out of her trance and looked up at him.
"That was- amazing!" She breathed. She stood up. "Absolutely amazing, I didn't know you could be so graceful." Shishi smirked. "I doubt that was the only thing you were mesmerised by." Botan got his hint and blushed furiously. "Confident jerkoff, you really haven't changed from the Dark Tournament." Shishi took offence to this. "What do ya mean? I think I've changed. And don't snap at me woman, especially when I'm the one who saved you're pathetic life."
Botan was taken aback. "I'll ignore the pathetic life part but you saved me from falling to my death?" Shishi grunted and turned around. "Yeah? So?" Botan sighed at this. "So, I- thank you."
"Tch, can the grim reaper even freaking die?" Botan shrugged. "I don't know, I've never known anyone who knows that." Shishi snorted at this and walked over to where his clothes were hanging from a nearby tree branch. "How's you're hand?" He had asked out of the blue. Botan made it into a fist to show she was fine, it didn't work though. She winced but tried to hide it. Shishi noticed though.
"Idiot." He walked over to her fully clothed. "Here let me see it." He took her hand in his and inspected it. He narrowed his eyes at her. "If it hurts so much say something." She blushed but nodded.
He took out some bandages from one of his pockets. He wrapped them around her burnt hand with a lot of gentleness. When he eventually finished he looked at her with annoyance.
"Next time it's the Red Moon don't storm out like you have." She gulped and slowly nodded. He took a few steps from her, still facing her.
Botan narrowed her eyes at him. "What?" Shishi shrugged his shoulders and turned around. Botan couldn't see his face but had the feeling he was smirking. "Nothing. Let's go. We still have time to make it back." She nodded but took cautious steps towards him.
xXx
They had made it back to the shack and also to a lot of angry faces.
"Botan what were you thinking?!" Chu yelled. They even needed two people to calm him down. "Chu I was just as scared as you were but calm down a bit, okay?" Touya tried. Chu huffed. "Humph, fine I forgive you."
Botan sweat dropped but she did feel guilty. But it was their fault for not telling her, any ferry girl would act the same, right? 'Even so, I didn't have to storm out like I did.'
"It's startin'." Jin said to no one in particular. "An don' run off again, kay? We'll protect ya'." He had said that to her. She smiled and looked at the moon which was starting to go red. "It is rather beautiful, if it weren't for the bloodlust that is." Touya spoke in. "Beautiful but deadly I say." Suzuka agreed.
Shishi walked out, preparing his blade. "I take it I'm the only one going out?" Jin chuckled. "I think so." Shishi nodded at this and disappeared into the forest. "Suzuka, you aren't going?" Rinku asked which Suzuka shook his head at. "Neh, it's all Shishi." With that he sat down and closed his eyes but he stayed alert.
"Do you think he'll be okay out there? Nya." Neko B asked perched on Botan's shoulder. "I don't know, he is strong enough. Although, numbers are important too, no matter how strong you are." The others nodded, impressed with her opinion on strategy.
"Thinking about it like that, it really makes you wonder if he'll really be okay out there." Touya stated looking out the door Shishi had went through earlier. Botan was worried too and he did save her life. "Botan, what happened to you're hand?" Chu spoke up. The others also realised and waited for her answer. Suzuka knew though but he decided to keep quiet.
She sweat dropped from all their stares but decided to halt their worries. "It's fine, it's fine I just burnt it slightly is all." Should she really tell them the whole truth? They were friends after all. "How did you burn it? Nya." She sighed, looks like she has no choice, the truth it is.
xXx
Shishi had been running for a while now but the Red Moon has been up for at least 10 minutes. 'Where are they all? Damn it.'
He stopped in his tracks and smelt blood. He smirked at his findings but felt a little unsettled too. He followed the scent and came upon a familiar cliff. What he found would probably leave a human or even some demons vomiting in a corner. Shishi just stood there stunned. 'Well, damn.'
What he saw were the villagers that were chasing Botan earlier all dead, with bits of limb and tissue all over the place. Their deaths all had something in common, the gashes and cuts all looked like they were caused by some sort of scythe or the odd sword.
He then remembered the villagers who ran away upon seeing Botan's oar. He started running the direction he saw them go earlier. Shishi could tell they were trying to run to their village but suspected they never made it that far. 'I wonder who beat me to them?' His suspicions were correct, although the blood smelt fresher as if it were done much more recently.
Shishi reached out and smeared some of the blood onto his finger tips to inspect it. He then put some in his mouth further testing it. "Hm, it seems like the killer could still be around." He then smirked. "It serves you fools right, I may have been somewhat sympathetic in the past but you have started to annoy me as of late. I still wish it was me to end you're pathetic lives." He was about to leave and continue with what he was doing but an omnimous wind blew right past.
'He's close, he's not too good at keeping his demon energy hidden.' His eyes widened immediately. 'Unless...' He instantly took his sword out and quickly spun around. "Show yourself coward!" He spat out. The wind continued to blow and then silence. "You're still there. I can wait, although I have little patience."
The demon laughed in a manically way. "Ha ha ha, you have a lot of attitude, I was told that. But this is too amusing. And I can recall you're blonde haired friend saying something similar."Shishi bared his teeth at him. 'He was here from the beginning?' "You were told?" His fury instantly transformed into smugness. "So I'm somewhat well known then? That's good to hear." The demon snorted.
"Ha, let's stop talking and get into some action!" Shishi immediately held up a poker face. "Yes, let's." The demon then came out of the shadows and Shishi was able to see him. He had long black hair tied up in a pony tail. He had black bits of cloth on both his arms (I don't know what they're called), he had a ripped black vest which showed some of his chest and black leggings and boots. To finish off his appearance he swung a red pendant and had black leathery wings.
"Before we start, you know my name but I don't know yours." The dark youkai smirked and put away his pendant. Shishi noticed that the strange youkai's eyes were dull and lifeless. "Kuronue, so should we start now?" Shishi nodded his head. "Yes, let's."
xXx
After hearing Botan's story, the familiar fresh scent of blood now made sense to Touya. 'The villagers, of course, I first smelt their blood when we first entered the village earlier.' After finding that out he told Botan and the others. He wanted to go find Shishi because of a bad feeling. Jin agreed.
"Ya, although he almost made me choke ta death he's still a team mate, I guess." Neko B groaned. "So you mean we'll have to go out there anyway? Nya." Rinku laughed. "Yeah! Looks like it, let's go this could be fun." Suzuka yawned and got up. "We should go, but Botan you don't have to."
Botan shook her head furiously and put on a determined face. "No I'm going, I'm tired of being scared. I want to help." Chu smiled at her and put his arm around her neck. "We'll all go." Neko B whimpered at this. "If I must."
They made their way out of the shack but immediately stopped when they saw all the blood thirsty demons. They had bloodshot eyes and looked at them. 'There has to be at least 30 of them.' Touya thought, somewhat panicked. Some of his other team mates didn't share that feeling though.
"Woohoo, looks like it won't be smooth sailing afterall, eh Jin?" Jin chuckled and wriggled his ears in excitement. "Ya, I hear ya!" Chu turned to the others. "Me and Jin here will hold em off. You find Shishi." Touya nodded and looked to Suzuka, Rinku, Botan and Neko B. "You guys ready?" Botan didn't have an oar so Suzuka carried her bridal style and she blushed but just shook it off.
Suzuka nodded at Touya's question and so did Rinku. "Okay let's go. Good luck Jin, Chu." Jin laughed and summoned a tornado fist as Chu began punching his way through their enemies. Touya started leading the way and the rest followed suite.
xXx
The fresh scent of blood was getting more powerful and intoxicating for Touya each minute. 'Damn, can I make it without losing sanity? The Red Moon shouldn't be this powerful.' He looked on each side of him to find either Suzuka or Rinku. 'I wonder if they feel it too.' He had little time to dwell on it though as they were nearing the cliff from earlier. What they saw made them all flinch.
Suzuka had expected this. 'Maybe I should have killed them. I, at least would make it quick and as less bloodied as possible. A beautiful creature like me should always make a clean kill.'
Botan noticed the slight shock in Suzuka's face. "Suzuka, are you okay?" He calmed down, if only for his friend's sake, he did think of her as a friend. "Yeah I just wished I killed them myself instead of... this." Botan looked confused. "Suzuka?"
He chuckled but Botan didn't know what was so funny. "I witnessed you, along with Shishi flying away from the crazed villagers. I stayed behind to finish them off, but..." He paused trying to find the right words. "...I could feel something coming, it was the storm I had told you about earlier. For the first time in centuries I felt all the colour drain from my face, I was that scared. I ran away after warning them of the very possible danger." He then faced the bloody sight and shivered. "It appears they did not heed my warning and stayed anyway, and look where that got them."
Botan hesitantly looked at the sight too. She then heard Suzuka mutter. "Fools they were."
They were about to continue finding Shishi when Touya screamed in agony. "TOUYA!" Rinku screamed, he was cowering away from a now crazed Touya whose eyes started going bloodshot. Suzuka's eyes widened. "What's going on, Nya?" Neko B pleaded. "It appears that the Red Moon is somehow affecting him. I, too feel light-headed."
Botan paled at that and looked to Touya worriedly. "What's going to happen to him?" She then gulped. "You're not going to...?" Suzuka smiled down at her. "Don't worry we're not going to kill him, just knock him out until this madness ends." She nodded and Suzuka set her down. He turned to his right where Rinku was standing.
"Rinku, I trust you to look after Botan until I catch up." Rinku went wide eyed then calmly nodded. "Yes you can count on me." He then ran up to Botan and took her hand and started to lead her away. "It'll be okay, I'll protect you and Neko B." Despite the situation she smiled down at him and let him lead her away.
Suzuka nodded and turned to Touya who was glaring daggers at him now. "Don't worry Touya, you're life is safe tonight. Just hurry up and go unconscious." They both ran toward each other. Touya made his ice sword while rainbows formed around the Master of Disguise.
xXx
Rinku, Botan and Neko B stopped in their tracks when they heard metal hitting against metal. "Do you think that's Shishi?" Rinku asked excitedly. Botan smiled. "We'll never know if we don't see." They both cautiously walked up behind a tree to peer at what was transpiring.
What they found was Shishi up against a demon clad in all black. Botan's eyes widened. "Kuronue?" Rinku looked up at her confused. "You know that youkai?" She nodded slightly, eyes still on the battle scene.
xXx
Shishi felt that he was winning, although slightly. 'This guy is good, but why is he holding back?' He grunted when he took a hit in his side. "Oh no, Shishi!" He heard s girl yell out. He turned around and saw Botan, Rinku and Neko B.
"You fools, what are you doing here?" He yelled back. Botan look taken aback. Was that slight concern in his eyes? He narrowed his eyes at the lack of demons with them. "Where are the others?" Kuronue crossed his arms, annoyed of being ignored. "Yo."
"They're busy at the moment." Is all Rinku said. "What are you doing Imp? Botan was worried about you and here we find you dealing with one weak demon? Nya." Neko B wailed. Kuronue smirked darkly at the cat demon, he then suddenly disappeared then reappeared behind Botan grabbing Neko B by the neck.
"What you say, kitty?" Neko B shrieked and shook violently in his grasp. Botan huffed and slapped Kuronue on the cheek. Neko B landed to the ground and hid behind a bush. "Ouch, how Keiko can slap so hard without even flinching I have no idea." She mumbled, holding her wrist in slight pain. "And I had to use my burnt hand too. Good going Botan."
She immediately winced when she felt the even darker aura of Kuronue. He stood up slowly and glared at her. "How dare you hit me!" He was about to get his trusty scythe out but then Shishi and Rinku went in front of her, both in a defensive stance.
"I see now. Fine I'll take all of you on!"
"Wait Kuronue." Said a loud voice around them. "Shishi, where's it coming from?" Rinku asked. Shishi growled but answered. "I don't know." Kuronue glared at no one in particular but put his scythe away. "Fine I'll retreat for now." Botan looked at him.
"Wait, Kuronue." He turned to them and smiled sadistically. "I will be back, believe it." With that he faded into the shadows. The normal wind of Makai came back, and the omnimous wind was gone.
xXx
Shishi, Rinku, Botan and Neko B were confused as to what had happened. First it was the voice then Kuronue's sudden retreat. "I just wonder if that was the real Kuronue and not just some illusion." Kurama had told Botan as to what had happened when Yakumo had kidnapped her and tried to steal the orb from her. He had described what he looked like, and it was a hard description to match. Yes, that was defiently Kuronue. And she had met the real Kuronue years and years ago. It was her that saved his life.
Shishi looked at her confused when he heard her speak. "What was that?" She jumped slightly when she suddenly heard his voice. She just shook her head. "No it's nothing." She knew he didn't believe her but was thankful that he let it slide, for now at least.
Rinku looked up and gasped. "Has it been an hour already?" Botan and Shishi also looked up. "Looks like it's all over." Thankfully the moon had gone back to it's original white colour and not blood red. "That was uneventful, Nya."
"Hey guys we all made it through!" Yelled Jin's voice. Suzuka, Chu and Touya right behind him. "Yo guys." Botan ran towards Touya with a worried expression. "Are you okay Touya?" He smiled at her. "Yes I'm fine, Suzuka told me everything. I'm sorry to have worried you." She shook her head. "No it wasn't you're fault."
"No, but whose was it then?" Suzuka chided. Everyone was silent. The silence, however was stopped by Jin. "Yawn, could we get some shut eye before we go to Spirit World? I'm beat." Chu was almost asleep on his feet. "Good idea mate. Could use some meself." Botan nodded, feeling sleepy herself. 'One more night couldn't hurt Koenma, besides they deserve it.'
"Humph, then let's head back then." Shishi announced, already walking off. Rinku followed after with Neko B on his shoulder. Next was Suzuka and Chu. Botan's eyes wouldn't stay open but she tried her hardest to stay awake. She then felt a hand on her shoulder. "It's okay I'll carry you and Touya back." She nodded sleepily, not having the strength to say otherwise. 'It must be the stress of the past couple of days catching up to me.'
The last thing she heard was Touya's voice arguing against being carried by the Windmaster. She fell asleep with a smile, despite the night's events.
To be continued
Hey Jin ere'. Looks like we're dealing with someone's old partner. I wonder whose? I haven't met this Kuronue guy but I'm gettin' a weird vibe guys. And what does the little tyke want with us? Wait thas' the Spirit World prince? I thought he was tall? Ah well tune in next time for Yu Yu Hakusho: Demon Detectives, Koenma's Dilemma.
Looks like this is Kuroune's debut and he seems different, yes? To be honest I was planning on introducing him later but I just write whatever comes into my mind but the main plots like the enemy's goal is all planned out. But you'll have to wait and see who their enemy is.
