Summer! Freedom! Rejoice for free time and no homework!
I closed the communicator, pocketing it as a portal opened in front of me. I glanced at Yusuke before stepping through and said, "Make sure to take Kuwabara back, he could use some bandages on his hand."
Yusuke nodded his head as Kurama asked, "You sure you can handle the demons by yourself?"
"What do I look like?" I asked, grinning and vanished through the portal.
-Spirit World An Hour After-
I knocked on Koenma's office door and it flew open, Koenma already yelling his head off. I pretended to not hear him about me neglecting my duties at the vault and that I needed to get serious and everything related to that.
The vault, by the time I got there, had indeed been broken into by a couple of C-Class demons. It barely took any energy at all to defeat them and send them back to Demon World without a clue of what had just happened to them. I made sure to go around the entire place to make sure there wasn't anyone else and all items accounted for. From that fact alone, that nothing was stolen, you would think Koenma would cut some slack.
I coughed loudly to get Koenma's attention. "Sorry for not being able to be in two places at one," I said. "But if you had taken the time to read my report instead of thinking of what to yell at me about, you would have seen that Eon, one of Ikuro's followers, just dropped in. Kurama fought him, and won, right before you called. Naturally, we were all there. And I DON'T recall anyone giving me a heads up, so let me see now... That means it was a surprise attack?"
That last sentence caught Koenma off guard. I knew that he had known before, we usually do for low-class demons. I continued while Koenma kept silent, "The vault, is there still going to be a major break-in tonight? Or was it that just now?"
"Tonight's break-in isn't something you are used to. These are B to A-class demons, so our sources say, and they decided to leave a note telling us about it. Otherwise, that would have been a surprise. They either still don't have brains, or they have a very good plan of breaking in," Koenma said.
I thought it over, "Don't you think that the reason they wanted you to know is so that the Guardian would be in the vault while they "attempt to steal from it."? Maybe they want the Guardian there to kill her."
"All possible," Koenma agreed.
"And these, "demons" maybe they aren't demons at all. A piece of paper could be misleading," I said.
-Hideout-
"So you're saying that the demons might not be demons at all and that Ikuro planned it all out. Having you there keeping the vault safe is your first priority after all... He plans on using that time to send off the rest of his followers to keep you busy and hopefully kill the "number one thief."" Kurama said.
I nodded my head. "The only problem with that is that Ikuro has no idea who the Guardian is, no one ever does except for me, Koenma, and you guys, and Shiku. Haki knows me too, and I guess my Guards have to. But they wouldn't tell a soul. Ikuro still thinks I'm a thief and Shiku is a spy."
"Isn't Shiku a thief?" Kuwabara asked.
I shook my head, "No. Shiku likes to steal things, but she'd rather spy on people. So if Ikuro really did plan the break-in tonight, he must have taken a huge chance. If he didn't, well, then it's just a regular demon break-in that will cause some minor defeat problems."
My communicator interrupted our conversation by beeping five times. This meant that my Guards had arrived at the vault and went back to their real job.
Once our conversation no longer went anywhere, I went to my room and lay down on my bed, feeling exhausted all of sudden. I heard the door of the room next to mine open and close, along with a window opening. Kuwabara and Yusuke had gotten out a deck of cards to play against each other while watching loud things on the television. I almost got a wink of sleep before my communicator went off again. I was on the verge of throwing it of the window and smashing it to bits.
Haki was on the screen, in Spirit World. "No one's in India anymore."
I nodded my head. "They all must have followed Ikuro to Japan then."
"Most likely. Well then, I should get started on all my other jobs, as well as finding new spies." and the screen went black.
-That Night-
I stood in front of the giant doors of the vault on the outside. Everything was quiet and everything seemed to be in good order. If only it could always stay like that, it would make my life a lot easier. "You did not have to come you know," I said to the four people who stood behind me.
"Thought we should, in case it really is part of Ikuro's plan," Yusuke said.
"Alright, then lets make you guys useful," I said, smirking. "Hiei and Kurama will come with me into the vault. The more the merrier, and the faster we can secure the vault. Yusuke and Kuwabara, head up to Koenma's office and ask for the key to the security room, which is located right near the front entrance. Watch for anyone strange. If Ikuro himself shows up, pull the alarm right away, then come and join the fight in the vault if it isn't already over. The quicker the vault is secure, if Ikuro shows up, the quicker we can deal with him and finish this none-sense."
"And me?"
Everyone jumped up in shock. Shiku had appeared behind them, hidden in the shadows of various vases and china pieces lined up against the wall.
"What-" I started.
"Thought the same thing you did. Quite odd for some high-class demons to leave a note now isn't it? Koenma told me," Shiku said at my shocked face.
"Well then," I said, "He is your brother. You think you can handle a little sibling rivarly?"
Shiku grinned. "Then I'll be stationed outside the doors. You know how to contact me."
"Le's get this over with," I said, and everyone went on to do their little jobs. I sensed a long night in front of us, and I don't think I was the only one thinking that either.
