Reiko: I'm sorry for the new chapter being really late! I have a cold. That's also the reason it's so short. The next one'll be really long!

Ceres: Please continue to support her.

Reiko: TT^TT You're so nice!

Hiei: Why the hell is it taking so long to rescue Yukina?

Reiko: In the anime it takes 4 episodes. Anyway I'd like to say thank you to icysu22 for reviewing, LadyAmazon for subscribing, and Springflowerangel for adding it to their favorite's list! Now on to the disclaimer!

Karian: Reiko does not own Yu Yu Hakusho. She only owns Ceres and I.

The butler said, "All of the members of the Black Black Club have been notified of the meeting, sir." The screens Tarukane were sitting in front of lit up and showed five men. Tarukane said, "How you doin' boys? Must admit I am surprised to see all five of you on such short notice."

One the men said, "I would be here even on my deathbed." Another man laughed at this saying, "Well said. This our only means of entertainment." The third man agreed, "Yeah. The world's going too clean to have fun anymore."

Tarkane spoke up, "Well fun, gentlemen, is exactly why I called you today. Let me cut to the bone here. As we speak intruders are heading towards my house." A giant screen next to Tarkane glowed showing Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Botan.

Tarukane continued, "So let's start a betting pool on if they make it. Or if my security beats them." The first man spoke, "Well that would hardly be a challenging proposition, Tarukane. We have no reason to believe that these intruders could survive your demon."

Tarukane waved it off, "Wait let me give out more information before you decide. Hit it." The butler bowed and pointed towards the screen, "The situation is quite simple sirs. There are three intruders." The screen showed a map of the estate with red dots scattered around the building.

The butler continued, "They are walking through the fortress toward our stronghold. Tweleve from the apparition game are moving to stop." The first man said, "Come now. They're children. I don't know why you're so anxious to give away money, Tarukane. Offering a gambling pool when the odds are so ridiculously stacked. Have you gone mad?"

Tarukane answered, "Let's get on with the bidding. You've got two choices. Pick either the demons or the intruders to win! My butler will show you the stakes." The butler peeled a large piece of cloth over a large amount of money.

The butler explained, "In the event of a win Mister Tarukane will pay double what you bid." The men bid 2 mil. or over on the demons while Tarukane thought back to earlier.

Flashback

The younger Toguro was saying, "News has been circulating recently, about two human boys with extraordinary spirit energy. It is said that they have defeated the Four Saint Beasts as well as the human hunter Rando. Extremely powerful demons. There is a very good chance those intruders are these boys. And if they are the first group in my apparition game will suffer most unpleasantly."

End Flashback

Tarukane pointed out, "You're the only one who wasn't bet, Sakyo. Tell me, you're not getting cold feet." Sakyo smoked and replied, "I will wager 5 billion on the intruder's victory." Tarkane looked shocked while the other men told Sakyo that it was absurd.
