Chapter Twenty Four

He was joking. He had to be fucking joking! "So let me get this straight," Danielle said with an irritated look. "You want us to baby-sit four of your damn detectives during the Dark Tournament?! Are you insane?!"

Koenma looked at the three teenagers for a minute and saw the look of absolute displeasure in August's eyes. Clearly she felt that she was above such a ridiculous tournament. "Need I remind you what will happen if something happens to them?" Koenma asked.

"Need I remind you that there isn't shit we can do when they're in the ring?" Danielle snapped. "Do I also need to remind you that humans are at the bottom of the food chain and that Andrews happens to be human?!"

If somebody would have told him that the fire hanyou would ever get protective over a demon or a human, Koenma probably would have ordered that person to have their head checked. Now that he was actually seeing the result of having put a human and a demon with the antisocial hanyou, Koenma couldn't deny that he was impressed by the changes. She was calmer and less likely to kill without warning. "I know." Koenma told her. "This is important though. Innocent lives are on the line and, from what I understand, Yusuke will be getting his test from Genkai."

Danielle froze for a moment before nodding in understanding. "I'm not asking my team to go along." Danielle told the demi-god.

"You go, we go." August told the hanyou with a determined look in her eyes. "We can't let you go to that hell by yourself."

"Well then, toddler, when do we leave?"

This place was just full of a bunch of smelly assed demons and richer than hell humans. If those damn rich bastards ever pulled their heads out of their asses for more than thirty milliseconds then maybe they'd get the notion to give some of their money to the less fortunate. God knew that there were people worldwide that were struggling to make ends meet.

August narrowed her eyes at a rich couple, watching as the woman raised her nose up in the air. "What'cha think would happen if I 'accidentally' got a bit of dirt on that purse of hers?" August questioned softly.

"Probably sue you for entire seven thousand dollars." Danielle answered.

Evan's face paled. "That little bit of leather cost her seven grand? Are you serious? My wallet's bigger than that little thing." As if to prove his point, he dug his own beaten wallet out of his pocket to show them. "See? My wallet's got that thing beat with both size and personality."

Danielle snatched it and raised an eyebrow when she opened it. "Oh, yeah, that ring in your wallet just screams personality." Danielle opened the pocket. "A condom. Why am I not surprised?"

Evan grinned a bit before snatching his wallet back. "I don't need to worry about who I get knocked up. Besides, it's best to be safe with that sort of thing." Evan stated calmly.

"Did you know some women are actually allergic to sperm?" August questioned softly. "Some protein that their bodies just can't handle."

"Is it just me or is everybody allergic to something? I mean, I get the serious allergies bit just fine. Actually used a serious allergy or two a few times to kill somebody."

Evan laughed a bit before putting an arm around the hanyou's shoulders. "There something you need, Danny? A priest? The Bible? Any sort of holy text or some kind of rite of passage to ensure your place in Heaven?" Evan teased. "A damn conscience?"

A laugh left Danielle's lips as they went up to their room. "She'd have endless sleepless nights if she developed a conscience." August answered lightly.

"But, baby, I thought that's why we agreed to become lesbians together." Danielle shot back with a grin.

"Oh, that's right. Shit."

"You two are lesbians?" Evan's eyes brightened. "Can I watch yo-"

The two girls knocked the teenage boy on the head before shoving him into the couch. "How in the hell did he survive past childhood?" Danielle questioned.

"Who knows? Humans are weird creatures in my book so it doesn't really matter."

Evan pulled himself from the couch and looked at the two girls for a moment. "Right, so when are these guys supposed to show up?" Evan questioned.

"An hour. The fights start tomorrow so we'll start working when the guys show up. Remember, there's five members to each team and each team is allowed one alternate. Under no circumstances are we to get involved with team squabbles nor are we allowed to become directly involved with the tournament."

Both nodded slightly in understanding before August stretched. "So when's the toddler supposed to show up?" August questioned.

"I don't know. From what I understand, Botan's supposed to be keeping an eye on Yusuke's girlfriend and Kuwabara's sister. I guess Koenma will show up when he can't stand his paperwork any longer."

"A couple of days?"

"Probably."

Evan closed his eyes and smiled softly. "Never trust the rich ones, girls. They're completely evil." Evan mused.

Danielle and August looked at each other for a moment before nodding slightly. "Never trust anything female." Danielle purred as she leaned against Evan. "Nature may have made men physically vicious, but it made us mentally vicious in compensation."

"Don't I know that already." Evan answered before yelping when he felt August's fist hit the back of his head. "Hey! No ganging up on the guy!"

"You let us gang up on you with the crossdress-" Danielle stopped herself and grinned.

Evan's face paled slightly, knowing exactly what was going on in her head. "No! You are not putting me back in a dress again!" Evan shouted at her.

"Well, we do have some pants in your size so you could wear pants again but we'd have to make some adjustments to the fake boobs. They worked well enough last time but we need to make sure that they don't smack you in the face."

"Again." August added.

"Again," confirmed the hanyou.

Groaning, Evan looked up at the ceiling. If God existed here on this island, he'd have to remember to start praying good and hard just to find out what he did wrong in his previous life.


lostmoonchild: I really couldn't resist the "There anything you need?" jab since my friends and I have all done that to each other at some point in time. We've even done the whole "Bible starting on fire" and "metal crosses melting" jabs since my brother's buddy thinks that I'm so evil that Bibles literally start on fire and crosses melt when within a five foot radius of me. Anyway, read and review, flames are accepted!
