A/N: Both
Jinn hadn't expected this. Yusuke was quiet and unchararistically serious, and Madoka had removed herself all-too-quickly from the situaition. Thinking about it now, of course, Jinn didn't know what he'd expected. He hadn't thought of what he'd say to Yusuke once he found him, he hadn't thought beyond his first obstacle- being mortal.
Neither of them had spoken since they had left Yusuke's school, but they had crossed the street and started down the sidewalk. Jinn let Yusuke lead the way, guessing Madoka was keeping up with them. Yusuke hadn't begun the hard questions yet- Jinn was taking that to heart.
"So....." Yusuke began and Jinn winced. "Did you come here all the way from Makai?"
"No, just from Ireand." Jinn murmered, suddenly turned shy in front of him. "I've never lived in the Makai."
"Really? I thought Hiei and Kurama were the only demons here."
"You;d be suprised." Jinn said.
"I guess so. You;d think I would know more about this, being a spirit detective and all, but-" Yuske frowned suddenly. "Where's your fox girl?"
Jinn shrugged. "Wondered off, probably. She'll turn up."
"It's a big city."
"She can take care of herself."
Yusuke shrugged. "Okay. So, what brings Jinn the wind master to Japan?"
So, here it was. Jinn gulped. So much he could say, so many excuses he could cite. He didn't actually have to tell Yusuke the truth. His knees were shaking and no one know it but him. For months it was all he had thought about, and now he could be welcomed or turned away. Months and weeks and days had all come down to this...
"To find someone." He murmered at last. "To try, something...."
"That's just vague enough to intrigue me." Yusuke said enthusiastically. "Who?"
Jinn shrugged.
"You don't even know her name?! Shit! Come on, I'll help you!" Yusuke grabbed his arm and hurried down the street with more purpose then before. "If it's important enough to leave Ireland for, it's certainly important enough for me to leave school for!"

"Yusuke, was there a reason we're all here?" Kurama asked an hour later. He was perched on the edge of a chair in Yusuke's living room. Hiei was sitting at his feet, Kuwabara was in his kitchen, presumably trying to seduce Madoka, and Yusuke and Jinn were sitting on the couch. "I'm missing class."
"A tradgedy, no doubt." Yusuke said. "But we have more important things to worry about, namely- Jinn!"
"And why are we worried about him?" Hiei asked pointedly.
"Because, he's missing what a man needs most, a-" Yusuke's mouth snapped shut with an irritated snap. "Well, there's no need to look at me that way! You two just don't understand cause you're dead inside." Jinn wished he could kill himself. Kurama and Hiei glanced at each other, and then back at Yusuke. "Well, that's beyond the point! The point is, I'm helping him, and I'm going to have to miss school. A huge sacrifice on my part, but small really, in the fact that-"
"I'm leaving." Hiei said adruptly, standing to go. Kurama followed him out. Yusuke must have been used to that happening cause he didn't look up as the door slammed, in facor of rummaging around in the drawers for a notepad and a pencil. Jinn frowned down at his hands as he was temporarily forgotten in the light of his mission.
"So, what's she look like?" Yusuke pressed. Again, Jinn shrugged. "You don;t know that, either?! Did you even meet her?!"
Jinn nodded, and Yusuke was apparently satisfied with that, because he wrote something on his tablet. "Okay. Weird, but I guess we take what we can get. It's a good thing demons have a lot of time, cause this is going to take a while." Madoka appeared in the doorway with Kuwabara on her heels.
"I'm not a demon anymore, actually." Jinn confessed. Yusuke looked up.
"You're not?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"It's easier to be a mortal, if....if you love one." Jinn said. Yuske stared at him over the writing tablet.
"Wow. You don't know her name, and you don't know what she looks like, you met her once, and you became mortal for her?" Jinn nodded in confirmaition. "Shit, dude. You must love her a lot."
"Yeah." Jinn murmered, his accent painfully hitting all the wrong notes. He frowned down at his hands, seeking answers among the lines in his palm. "I do."
Fini.
I know this sucks. I do. I'm sorry. I am going to finish it but it will take a wee bit of time. Thanks for sticking by me, and thanks to those who commented on 'All that Glitters.' Do you know how good it feels to find like, ten reviews in my mail box? Wonderful, that's how it feels! Wondeful, I say! SO COMMENT MORE! And don;t forget that I edit this every other day or so so keep checking!
