Okay so this chapter took me FOREVER! and I'm sorry if it seems kind of rushed, and long, but I figured I could go ahead and start The Four Saint Beasts part of the story, but instead of four we now have FIVE lol, and how in the world I'm gonna come up with a fifth Saint Beast I have no idea, but I'm totally ready for the challenge and I'm totally not gonna used the words Rekai and Ninjenkai or whatever I'm just gonna stick with Spirit World and the Human World, because that is just way easier, and I am totally lazy lol, but here is a nice long chapter for you guys! Oh and thanks for all the watches and reviews, it makes feel special lol :)
(I don't own any YYH characters just Faye!)
3 Weeks Later
Time passed after the Skulker incident, and Faye's punishment was the same as Hiei's and Kurama's except that now she had to move to Japan, and was forced to go to school with Yusuke and Kuwabara so she could be right there when they were called to go on a mission.
Flashback
Faye looked down at her feet as Koenma stared at her. She waited for him to say something; it was unnerving having him just stare at her, and not saying a word. Faye felt like a little kid that had gotten caught for doing something bad, but instead of it being one of her parents staring at her, it was the head of Spirit World, who ironically just happened to be a baby. Finally Koenma cleared his throat, and began speaking, "Faye I have examined your case, and even though you had a very good reason to steal the Ring of Odjit, as ruler of the Spirit World, I'm still going to have to punish you, and you are sentence to…"
Faye cringed as thoughts of spending the rest of her life in Spirit World jail cells or being sent into oblivion crossed her mind.
"Or worst," she thought, "they might send me to Walker's jail."
Faye's thoughts got interrupted when she heard Koenma calling her name. "Faye, Faye, are you listening?" Faye just gave him a blank stare. Koenma just sighed in annoyance, and went on. "I said I've sentence you to community service, which means you will now be living in Japan, and will attend Yusuke's and Kuwabara's school, and will now be going on missions with them."
Faye just let out a sigh of relief and mumbled out a thank you.
End Flashback
Koenma had then proceeded to tell her that she would be staying in an apartment, and would be sharing it with his top ferry girl that was also Yusuke's assistant, that's when a blue-haired, pink-eyed, girl flew in on an oar dressed in a really pretty pink kimono. The girl introduced herself as Botan, and told Faye how happy she was to meet her in an all too bubbly voice, and Faye just said the same in her all American voice, the girls needless to say hit it off very well.
When Faye first stepped into her new apartment with Botan, she was surprised at how nice it was, not that she was expecting anything bad, but nothing this nice though. When you first walked in you were in the living room which was complete with a decent sized plasma screen TV, a comfy three piece sectional, and a cute coffee table. The kitchen was even impressive, it had all the state of the art kitchenware, a decent sized pantry, and a cute little kitchen table. The rest of the apartment was pretty much normal, it had two bedrooms which each had its own bathroom, a half bathroom, a laundry room, and there was even a little porch connected to the kitchen, all the rooms were painted in pale blues, yellows, and greens.
Faye's bedroom was across from Botan's and Faye instantly loved it. It was painted a pale green, it had a queen sized bed which had a matching comforter that had pale green and purple stripes on it, and she also had her own walk-in closet, a dresser, and a desk. Faye saw that somebody had already brought her stuff because all her bags from England were sitting in the corner, and now here she was three weeks later sitting in Yusuke's and Kuwabara's classroom learning about some boring subject she could careless about.
"I'm just lucky that the Professor made us learn a second language, and mine just happened to be Japanese."
In those three weeks though she learned that Kurama, and Hiei were actually demons, "That explains a lot." Yusuke told her how he met them, and how Kurama was actually a fox demon, and how Hiei had a third eye hidden under that bandana of his called a Jagan eye, and how it was used to read people's minds, among other things. Yusuke also told her how he died and became a spirit detective, and of his recent training, as he called it "Grandma's evil boot-camp," under someone named Genkai, but he always replaced her name with "hag" or something else equally mean. Faye got to meet Keiko, Yusuke's girlfriend "Even though he denies it."
Faye's time since she moved in with Botan had been filled with homework, "Only the Professor's, thank goodness", cleaning the apartment, "Since Botan gets the groceries, and cooks," and training. Johnny had started taking Faye to the Ghost Zone, and making her train with Clockwork, and even though she came home beyond exhausted each night, and could barely eat, and do her chores, she had to admit that his training was working, and she was getting stronger.
Once school was out Faye walked outside with Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Keiko, and saw Johnny waiting for her as usual, his dark clothes, and motorcycle sticking out like a sore thumb. She said her goodbyes to her new friends, and made her way over to him ignoring the stares, and murmurs of the other students that followed her.
When Faye got home that night, as usual Botan greeted her with her usual happy smile, and told her that she fixed her a plate of whatever dinner Botan had cooked that night, and that it was sitting in the microwave waiting for her to heat it up. Faye muttered heartfelt thanks, as she heated up the food, and it took her all she had to just chew her food, she was so exhausted from today's training.
"But it's worth it."
Once Faye was done eating she didn't even bother get out of her clothes, and just plopped down on her bed, and instantly went to sleep.
"I really don't want to be here." Faye said complaining to Yusuke, and Kuwabara.
"Well too bad Miss. Thief." Yusuke said using his little nickname he used when he talked to her. She watched him as he leaned back in his chair, and plopped his feet on top of his desk.
"Aw, it'll be okay Faye, at least you have me." Kuwabara said trying to make a move on her by putting his arm around her, but she just shrugged him off, and went to sit in her desk that was behind Yusuke's.
"So Yusuke, you never told me what you learned at Genkai's" Kuwabara said trying to pretend that Faye just didn't shrug him off.
"Yeah what did you learn? I know Botan told me you had a Spirit Gun, which I still haven't seen, but anyways what did go on at Grandma's evil boot camp?"
"Yeah was the training very hard?"
Yusuke got annoyed look on his face, "Let's just say I'll be having nightmares for the next four years, cause of all that crap I went through." He then proceeded to tell them how he had to float on spike for twelve hours, block Genkai's powerful attacks till he didn't move an inch, how he meditated on a bon fire for a week, slept with snakes for three weeks.
"Okay forget I asked" Kuwabara said interrupting him, "just listening to everything you did is giving me the creeps!" Faye just stared at Yusuke in amazement.
"Sounds worst than my training with Clockwork."
"Yeah, but it was worth it for all the tricks I learned."
"Oooh, now that's what I wanna see." Faye nodded her head in agreement with Kuwabara.
"See what?" Just then Keiko had walked up to them, and Faye remembered that Keiko didn't know that Yusuke was a spirit detective, or the real reason why she was at their school.
"Ohh, uhh…," Yusuke said trying to think of an excuse, "Yeah! Kuwabara said he wanted to see a movie right?"
"Ohh, uhh, movies I love them." Kuwabara said dumbfounded.
"I know a great foreign art film," Keiko said excitedly "we should go see it after school!"
"Oh, great." Yusuke said trying to hide his disdain.
Faye grimaced at the idea; she wasn't too fond of art films either.
"Will you have to go with Johnny again after school?" Keiko said turning to Faye.
"Yes that's right! Yay for training with Clockwork!" Faye inwardly cheered to herself.
At that moment Faye heard her phone go off in her purse, and dug it out.
"What is it?" Kuwabara asked trying to look over Faye's shoulder which was pretty easy, since she was sitting down, but Faye covered her phone screen up, and gave him a dirty look that made him sit in his own desk.
"It's a text from Johnny if you must know." She said still giving him a dirty look.
Faye looked down and read the text message, "Clockwork said no training today, don't know, why must be important."
Faye suppressed a sigh, but gave Keiko her best fake smile, "Looks like I can go to the movies with y'all!"
After school the group got some milkshakes, and walked towards the movies, and Faye began to think.
"Maybe being here won't be so bad. Yusuke, Kuwabara, Botan, and Keiko are pretty much my friends now, and now I don't have to travel everywhere, and I have a nice place to stay, but what am I going to tell the professor? OH CRAP! I haven't talked to him or Kitty since England! Well Logan isn't here yet, so he must think I'm okay." Faye let out a sigh.
"Hey! You're squishing my milkshake!" Faye finally turned her attention back to Yusuke who was currently in a headlock by Kuwabara.
"Yusuke, stop wrestling the movie is about to start." Keiko said giving him a stern look.
"Uh…Hey Keiko, I gotta grab something at the store first." Yusuke said scratching the back of his head.
"What?" Keiko said getting a confused look on her face.
"What's he up too?"
"And Kuwabara and Faye have to get something too, right?" At that he gave each of them a look, "We'll be back in five minutes tops, would you mind saving us some seats?"
"Well if it's quick I'll come with you."
"No! You see it's kind of embarrassing actually, it's a guy thing, you know? And Faye is only going because she has to get something really important." Before Keiko could protest anymore he just grabbed Kuwabara, and motioned for Faye to follow him, yelling back to Keiko "We'll be back soon okay!"
"Fine I'll be in the center row!" She yelled back at them.
When the trio had made its way around the next corner they slowed to a walk.
"So what thing did you have to buy with just guys huh? What do you need some itching cream or something?" Kuwabara snickered at him.
"And what oh so important thing do I need to get?" Faye said giving him an amused smile, but Yusuke just looked ahead with a serious look on his face,
"Shut up, I'm not buying stuff." Faye's and Kuwabara's amused smiles vanished when they noticed the serious tone in Yusuke's voice, and kept walking with him, "We're being followed."
"What?" Kuwabara said quietly, as him and Faye both looked in the corner of their eyes as they noticed a group of five guys behind them.
"I caught a glimpse of them at the movie theatre."
"Well we got the time, I say we have some fun with them, are you going to be okay Faye?" Kuwabara said turning to look down at her.
"Oh please, don't worry about me."
"Well you don't exactly look like you could hold your own." Yusuke said looking at her now.
Faye didn't say anything as they turned a corner behind a building.
"I'll show them."
The other group of boys stood opposite of the trio, and stared.
"You jokers are in trouble now; my name is Kazuma Kuwabara the number one thug at Sarayashiki Junior High." Kuwabara said introducing himself looking mighty, and proud.
"Ha! No sense telling lies." Yusuke said getting a smug look on his face.
"And I just transferred her three weeks ago!" Faye said feeling left out.
Yusuke, and Kuwabara looked down at her, and rolled their eyes, but she just gave them an embarrassed smile.
Then the gang of boys did something that neither Faye nor Yusuke or Kuwabara wasn't expecting, the boys started pulling out knifes.
"I don't think these guys are playing around, we haven't even started, and they're already pulling knifes." Kuwabara said in a surprised voice.
Then they heard of the boys start saying to himself, "Must kill, must kill" as he lunged at Yusuke, and Kuwabara, but they easily dodged him as Yusuke kicked the boys leg up making him fall on the ground. Then the other boys started following the other one's example. Yusuke, and Kuwabara easily knocked two of them to the ground, and Faye easily dodged the one that was after her, and tripped him.
"They're moves are so sloppy, and messy." Faye thought as she narrowed her eyes.
Yusuke then easily knocked the other two down with the others, but Faye watched as they got back up still saying "Must kill, must kill."
"Are they human?!" Kuwabara asked panic in his voice.
"What do we now?" Faye asked looking at Yusuke.
"Now we leave it to me." Yusuke answered.
Faye watched in awe as Yusuke's fist started glowing a bright blue.
"Whoa is this one of your new techniques!?" Kuwabara asked as he also stared at Yusuke's glowing fist.
The whole area around them was cast in the same blue light as Yusuke's fist. Yusuke smirked when he answered, "I'll take that as a stupid question."
All of the boys then leaped at once at Yusuke, but Yusuke just yelled out "SHOTGUN!" as he reared his fist back, and threw it at the boys, and out of his fist a spray of small bullets hit the boys.
"Oh wow! That's crazy Urameshi, it's like you're shooting a spray of spirit guns all at once!!" Kuwabara said as he watched in awe.
When the move ended the boys feel to the ground with hard thud.
"Well yeah, like I said it's a shot gun." Yusuke said clearly please with himself.
"That's pretty neat."
"Yeah, impressive." Faye said as she looked at the boys on the ground.
"But, who the heck are these guys?" Yusuke said as he walked over to one of the boys, and squatted to get a better look at him.
"Hold on I feel something really strange around us, I don't think it's very human." Kuwabara said as he looked around, and then pointed "Something like that!"
Faye looked up and saw a guy in a trench coat, and a hat, with a scarf wrapped around his "or its" face. The thing saw that they saw him, and raced off, and Kuwabara, Yusuke, and Faye were instantly chasing after him. Faye trailed behind Yusuke, and Kuwabara, as they chased the thing down an ally, it turned a corner, and it turned another corner causing them to lose sight of it, but then they heard the ping of a metal bat, and saw the creature fall on the ground. They slowed to a walk, and saw Botan in a ridiculous red baseball outfit.
"Now that is teamwork!" She said cheerfully with the bat on her shoulder.
"Botan!?" Yusuke said surprised.
"Hey it's the pretty girl! Have you thought about me?" Kuwabara said as a slight blush was on his cheeks as he looked at Botan.
"So he falls in love with every girl he meets?"
"I've been shadowing that one since he slipped through the barrier two days ago."
They looked down at the creature sprawled on the ground, he had green skin, claws, yellow eyes, and purple marks on his face.
"What is he?" Kuwabara asked.
"Looks like he grew up too close to a nuclear plant." Yusuke said stuffing his hands in his pockets.
"I'm quite certain he's a spy from the place you'll be going as your next mission."
"OKAY BOTAN, YOU CAN STOP RIGHT THERE! I had grandma's evil boot camp I had to endure, and then I had to go chasing little Miss Thief, plus I've had school. I've barely had anytime to relax so why don't you call back in two years." Yusuke said angrily as he turned and walked away.
"Then I guess you won't mind everyone in the city turning into a zombie?!" Botan asked him losing her temper.
"Does that question have a point?"
"Koenma was given a message yesterday, it was sent by an agent, much like the one we just walked in too." Botan then told them how Koenma had gotten a letter from The City of Ghosts and Apparitions, it was written by something called The Five Saint Beasts, and how they wanted immediate immigration into the living world.
"I don't see what all the fuss is about. If Koenma is in charge, then why can't he turn down the request? And who are these stupid saint beasts?" Yusuke asked still annoyed.
"Saint Beasts, saint beasts…The Five Saint Beasts, I've never heard of him." Faye said as she tapped her chin in thought.
"The Five Saint Beasts are five of the most notorious criminals in all of the Spirit World, the title Saint was given to them by their followers. Years ago they were chased by a coalition of pursuers, and evaded capture by locking themselves into a booby-trapped fortress. Since then a whole city has formed at its base filled with vile crooks who viewed these beasts like gods, The City of Ghosts and Apparitions." Botan then turned, and walked away.
"Hey aren't you gonna finish your story?" Yusuke said following after her.
Botan stopped and pointed to one of the boys Yusuke had hit with his shotgun.
"Why don't you take a look at these boys you knocked out." Botan said her voice serious.
Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Faye studied the boys, waiting for something to happen. That's when they saw it; some kind of gross insect crawled out of the boy's mouth and started to fly away. Faye took a step back, and crinkled her face up in disgust, "Ohmygosh!! That's so gross!!" Faye said freaking out.
"Ugh, tell me I just didn't see a bug crawl up his throat." Yusuke said equally disgusted.
"They're called makai insects, a parasite from the darker parts of the Spirit World, they bury themselves under the skin and they nurture a person's most primal desire." Kuwabara hadn't said anything, and Faye saw him starting to turn blue, and then green, and finally he threw up as Botan further explained the vile insects, "Minds occupied by this parasite develop a need for destruction, physical power, and murder, it will be a disaster."
"Well can't we tell people? I mean there's gotta be a cure." Yusuke asked.
"There is, but ordinary people can't see the insects, the inflected will be seen as merely psychotic, and I'm afraid a cure will not be first on a human's mind." Botan answered solemnly.
"Well what the heck are we suppose to do?!" Yusuke said his voice rising with each word.
Botan turned, and look at him, "The only way to rescue the city is too is to kill the makai insects, and the only way to do that is by destroying the whistle, which is what the enemies posses."
"A whistle?" Faye asked.
"Yes, without the whistle's sustaining frequency the makai can't live outside of Spirit World."
"So, how long do we have before these beasts leave their castle, and come to earth themselves?" Faye asked her voice serious as she was thinking over the situation.
"At this point they can't, for years we've had them trapped inside the city with a barrier wall, with this threat of an insect invasion they hope to force us to open the barrier."
"I see, so they give you the whistle if you open up the wall." Yusuke said.
"Instead, we'll make a small breech in the wall to let you, Faye and Kuwabara in; eventually they'll find this hole themselves."
"And, what if we're not able to beat them?" Yusuke said looking at Botan straight in the eyes.
"I don't think I'll have to tell you what'll happen if all the demons from that city were unleashed on Earth."
"Then losing isn't an option." Faye thought clinching her fists.
"I have to say Botan this takes the record for confusing."
"Yes, but just try to remember the basics, you all are good, and the entire city is bad, destroy the whistle, and defeat the beasts, and then the case will be closed."
"Ok! I just can't believe Koenma expects Faye, Kuwabara and me to take on a whole freaking' city of demons." Yusuke said getting irritated again.
"Oh don't worry Yusuke, I'm sure me, you, and Kuwabara can handle this!" Faye said in a cheerful voice patting him on the back trying to reassure him.
"Yeah right." He mumbled under his breath.
"Alright well it's time for you all to go." Botan said leading the way to a nearby warehouse, when she opened to the door the dust immediately began making Faye cough uncontrollably, along with Yusuke, and Kuwabara.
"Watch for the dust."
"Gee thanks for the warning." Faye said sarcastically.
They walked down the stairs, and watched as Botan began beating on the floor. Yusuke looked down at Botan, "Banging on the floors of random warehouses seems like fun to me."
"This is where they were suppose to put the breech in the barrier." Finally Botan hit one spot of the floor twice, and part of the floor lifted up. "Bingo!" She said triumphantly. Botan lifted the floor up to reveal what appeared to be a never ending hole, with green swirling mist. Kuwabara got a curious look on his face as he looked down while Yusuke got a panicked look on his, "You are going to give us a rope ladder or something?!"
"No, jumping down should land you safely on the outer bank of the city."
Faye wasn't worried as she looked down at the intimidating hole, "I'll just float down."
"Well, I guess there's no turning back now!" Faye watched with a shocked looked on her face as Kuwabara simply jumped down the hole; completely losing sight of him. Faye then looked at Botan, and Yusuke, "Well I guess it's my turn!" She was about to jump too, but Botan grabbed her wrist, "Wait before you go, here is a communication mirror!"
"Way to give it to me last second."
"Oh don't be so sarcastic," Botan smiled up at Faye, "but this way I'll be able to keep in contact with you and Yusuke while you all are on the mission, and tell you what's going on back here." Faye looked down at the purple looking compact, and put it in her school uniform pocket, "Gosh I hate this ugly thing." Faye was about to jump again before Botan stopped her, "Wait! I brought you some more clothes!" Botan pulled out a grocery bag of a pair of Faye's jeans, a simple black t-shirt, and a pair of black and white Puma's, "Thank you so much Botan!" Faye said excitedly as she grabbed the bag, and went behind some boxes in the warehouse and pulled on the clothes.
When she was done, Yusuke had already jumped down the hole; before Botan could interrupt her again Faye gave her a thumbs up, and jumped through the ominous looking hole.
