"Please, let me explain first!" Koenma squaked nervously as Danielle's glare hardened. The kitsune tapped her foor impatiently, silently signaling for him to explain and fast. the prince sighed in relief and began to speak. "Okay, so the bad guy's base is in Makai, right?" he inquired, and there were nods and agreements, so he continued, "Well, demons that do have information aren't going to just give it to Spirit World willingly. We'd have to give them something in return, and who knows what they would ask for! So, that's why I'm sending Danielle and Amanda to get information. No one would suspect two Makai waitresses..."
"HECK NO!" Danielle and Amanda exploded at the same time, and the ground under them shook.
"There is NO way! I am NOT going to go undercover at a pub dressed like this and being eyed by every single demon!" Danielle shouted, her aura flickering angrily, "I'll get attacked or something!"
"No, you won't. That's why Hiei and Kurama are going with you... to be your bodyguards," Koenma stated grinning. "So, how about it?"
"HECK NO!" Amanda and Danielle boomed again, and the guys winced and had to cover their ears against the shrill voices.
"Ah, come on, Dani... you look like a total babe!" Yusuke hollered with a stupid grin on his face. "You'd have all the demons wrapped around your finger! They'd give you the information without any problem!" He gave her a wink and a thumbs up while Kuwabara gave her a catcall and laughed.
Danielle's cheeks were on fire in embarrassment, and she glared at the two punks, though it seemed to have little affect on them...
Hiei waltzed over and wrapped an arm around her waist possessively and glared at Yusuke and Kuwabara for her. Both boys immediately fell silent, the grins remained on their faces. Danielle felt more calm now that Hiei was there.
Kurama chuckled, watching the scene unfold before him and Koenma, then he made his way over to Amanda's dressing room. "Come on out, Amanda," he said and gently rapped his knuckles on the door in a series of knocks.
"No!" Amanda yelled back stubbornly. "This is... These are...! Just-just NO, okay! Not in these skimpy little things!"
While Amanda ranted on, Kurama sighed and pulled out a small seed. Pushing his energy into it, a long thin vine grew and creeped under the door. There was a click as the vine successfully unlocked the door. He pulled the door open, and Amanda yelped in surprise.
The wolf was dressed in the same outfit as Danielle but her waist-length crimson hair was pulled into a high ponytail that was held by a black ribbon tied in a bow, and two strands of her long hair hung on either side of her face, some small strands tumbling over her crimson eyes.
Kurama gaped, frozen to his spot with wide eyes, and Amanda glared at the yoko and screamed, "Pervert! Stop staring at me and get out of here!"
Suddenly, Kurama's appearance changed, emerald eyes turning to gold, crimson hair fading to silver. Fox ears replaced human ears, and a fox tail became visible, swishing back and forth behind her. "Hm... Let's get a closer look at this lovely little wolf," Yoko purred and stepped forward, closing and locking the door behind him.
"You better back up off me, boy!" Amanda snarled and flattened herself to the far wall to get away from the demon in front of her.
Danielle ran over and hopped up to grip the top of the door and hoist herself up when she heard the commotion going on. "Yoko, get out of there!" the dimensional kitsune exclaimed.
"No thanks," Yoko smirked at Danielle over his shoulder then turned back to Amanda, who cursed and yelled at the yoko, threatening him with a painful death if he didn't get away.
"I'm gonna kill you!" Amanda shouted, "Me and you gonna fight, and you ain't gonna be no pretty boy no more!"
Yoko didn't seem to care; he just stepped even closer to her. "Oh, a feitsy wolf," he sneered and made his way even closer to the glaring demoness. Now there was only about a foot and a half between them.
"Yoko, I mean it!" Danielle roared, half her body hanging over the door. Her legs kicked wildly around, and Yusuke and Kuwabara burst out laughing at the sight while Hiei and Koenma watched the scene quietly, neither saying a word.
Reaching a hand back, Danielle slipped her left shoe off her foot. "Yoko!" she screamed but was blatantly ignored, and she growled angrily. She hated being ignored. Taking aim fairly quickly, she chucked her black, slip-on shoe at him. "Bull's eye!" she exclaimed with a grin as the shoe hit the back of the yoko's head.
Yoko flinched and sent aglare at his adopted sister. "That hurt," he pouted and rubbed the back of his head, "Why did you hit me with your shoe?"
Danielle rolled her eyes. "Because you're about to be in trouble. Amanda's not one to mess with," she warned as Amanda heaved a relieved sigh and mouthed the words "thank you" toDanielle.
Yoko grinned. "I think I'll take the risk," he stated and prepared to close the gap between him and Amanda.
"Help!" Amanda yelled and took her shoes off too. She threw them, one after another, at Yoko, both hitting him in the face. "There's a crazed yoko over here! Hey, let go of me!" she added angrily when Yokopinned her to the wall with an annoyed glare. He wasn't too happy at having all those shoes thrown at him.
Amanda wasn't too happy either, and she, of course, struggled, but it didn't do much good. She glared up into the yoko's cold, hard gaze stubbornly.
"Why throw shoes at my face? You yourself said I was a 'pretty boy', so why not play nicely?" he whispered and raised his right hand up to run his fingers over her cheek. Resting his palm on her cheek, he bent down his head down, coming closer and stopping only inches away from her face.
"Gr... Hiei! Yusuke! Kuwabara! Koenma! One of you get your useless butts over here and give me a hand!" Danielle screamed. There was a round of applause from the sniggering group outside the dressing room. An anime vein pulsed on the kitsune's forehead, and she snapped, "Not that kind of hand! I meant one of you get over here and help me! I'm stuck!" she whined. While grumbling, she slipped her other shoe off and threw it at Yoko, and the shoe hit its mark, as the yoko flinched and glared at Danielle, who glared right back.
Yusuke and Kuwabara were laughing too hard already, so they couldn't help, and Koenma was a prince... Did anyone really expect him to actually do that? Plus, Hiei might slaugher him... Speaking of the anti-social fire demon, he was too busy watching the scene unfold in amusement. He knew he would have to cut in and help when things got worse, but for now, everything was fine. Danielle continued to holler in frustration, and her legs kicked frantically.
"Hm, you seem like quite an interesting girl," Yoko noted about Amanda with a grin. He leaned forward more and more until...
