A/N: Doesn't anyone read this story anymore? I'm glad at least one person cares about this story, but honestly...
"All of this pain and all of this suffering... not even my sister could heal the wounds of blood spilt today."
--------Chapter 5: Safety Of A Child--------
Kazuma looked around and stopped celebrating when the full force of the battle results hit him.
"Yeah... this doesn't look too pleasant. Guess that's the high price for defense."
Botan agreed.
"So, this is what war looks like on the outside... I guess I just never imagined what it would look like on the field, with all these soldiers coming after us... it just always seemed like a horrid nightmare that would never come true."
Hiei gave one final look around and turned to the other two.
"Come, we should be getting back now. I daresay that before the end of this, more blood will be spilt here. Botan, can you take all three of us on your oar?"
Botan did some quick calculations, then shook her head.
"Afraid not. If it's just Kazuma and me, then I'd do it... but you would add too much weight, especially with your sword. You'll have to make it back up alone."
Hiei nodded and took off. Kazuma and Botan took straddle on Botan's oar and flew off after him.
::If this was the first battle... I shudder to think of what may happen before the war ends.::
---Heaven---
"Sir, the four heroes have returned from their battles. Shall I have them washed and redressed?"
Naosomi nodded.
"Indeed. I daresay Genkai will not need it, and will begin training Yusuke again. But the other three - Kazuma, Botan, and Hiei - they will most definitely need it."
The servant nodded, bowed, and exited Naosomi's throne room.
::Our first victory... good. But I daresay there are more attacks already on the horizon. As soon as Kazuma is ready, I shall send out pairs of teams to bar a 24-hour defense.::
Naosomi pulled his P.A. microphone up to his mouth and spoke.
"Alright, I congratulate our heroes on their first victory ever. You should be rewarded with gold and jewels, but not at this instant. I believe that Saomi will not sit still, and will therefore launch another attack.
Kazuma and Kurama, when the two of you are ready, report to Earth, Squadron E52, and await further orders from the leader. Yusuke and Botan, please report to Earth, Squadron B12, and await further instructions from me personally. Hop to it! There's little time to waste!"
At hearing this, Kurama stepped out of his room and pulled Kazuma to the washroom.
"We must clean you quickly. There's no time to waste, remember?"
Kazuma merely went along with it. The two of them disappeared into the washroom and emerged several minutes' later, Kazuma smelling fresh and wearing clean clothes. Kurama, dressed in a white-and-red suit with several hundred plant attacks hidden underneath, lead the way as the duo ran for the exit to Earth and
jumped. Meanwhile, Yusuke and Botan met up and rode on Botan's oar down to Earth. Hiei and Genkai continued their training, while Shiziru watched.
::Dammit, Naosomi! Why the hell'd you put me with Botan?::
"There's been something on my mind recently Yusuke, but I don't know if this is the right time to tell you..."
Botan's eyes, turning a light blue color, began to tear up. Yusuke looked unnerved. The two of them were passing over the River Styx, which was still covered up with blood.
"Yusuke... I..."
"Yeah? Get on with it, we should be near Earth soon."
Botan continued to stutter, and Yusuke waited patiently for her. Finally, she was able to speak, but she didn't say anything yet.
"I'll tell you later. Let's just focus on our battle first."
::Man, Botan's acting weirder than usual.::
The four fighters landed on Earth, barely inches away from each other. Kurama smiled at the coincidence.
"That was rather ironic, wasn't it, Yusuke?"
Yusuke merely gave him a thumbs up, and the four split up to find their Squadrons. By coincidence, they were all grouped in the same area.
"What the hell is up with this coincidence stuff, Kurama? I don't think Naosomi intended for this."
Kurama just shrugged as the leader of the squadrons came up.
"Ok, Spirit Detectives! I'm glad to see you're all refreshed and ready to go! Before we begin, please welcome our hero units for today: Kurama the Fox Demon, Yusuke Urameshi of the Spirit Detective Elite, Kazuma Kuwabara the Spirit Assistant, and Botan of the River Styx! They'll be helping us all today. Now,
let's get started. The heroes will lead the four patrol groups, and they'll get to choose their own Spirit Detectives to take with them! Now, as there are only 12 of you total, and four heroes, that means each hero gets to choose three of you apiece! So, let's let Yusuke, our elite Detective, choose first!"
Yusuke looked about at the 12 Detectives. Each one of them looked as scrawny as the last one.
::Damn... no wonder I'm the Elite Detective. Everyone else is scrawny as hell!::
Yusuke pointed at a particularly scrawny boy of about 13, wearing thick, square glasses and an extremely goofy grin.
"Alright, Marvin! Yusuke's got you! Now, our overly good-looking Botan of the River Styx!"
Botan blushed at the leader's flattery and looked around. There were only three girls, and since she knew no one else would choose them, she may as well give them a good leader. She pointed at a blonde 15-year-old with freckles covering her face and a single, large zit on the edge of her nose.
"Mimi! She's pointing at you! Ok, then, next up is the terrifying Kurama the Fox Demon! Be afraid, young'uns. Be very afraid!"
Kurama smiled a warm smile and instantly chose a small 14-year-old with Afro hair and a large nose.
"Jestin! Kurama has you!! Now, finally, Spirit Assistant to Yusuke, as well as loyal best friend, Kazuma Kuwabara!"
Kazuma looked around for the toughest out of these scrawny kids. He saw a particularly thuggish-looking kid with a giant tattoo of a bloodstained heart on his forehead. Excitedly, Kazuma pointed at him.
"Ah, Pug. He's chosen you! Now, back to Yusuke!"
The choosing went on for a few minutes before all the Spirit Detectives were split among the four heroes.
"Good! Alright, now let's split up and stay on patrol for any demons! Kill 'em on sight, remember! I'll be here if you need anything!"
The four heroes spread out among the Earth town, which Yusuke instantly recognized as Tokyo.
::Interesting spot. Wonder why Naosomi put us here?::
Yusuke turned around to do a routine check of his group, and realized with a shock that Marvin, the kid he chose first, was gone.
"Damn! Did any of you see where Marvin went?"
The two boys shook their heads.
"Damn, damn, damn! We have to find him! You, check over there. You, check down there. I'll search over there. Hurry up!"
The three split up, and Yusuke hit himself in the head continuously for letting one little kid escape his grasp. Suddenly, he could hear all three of his boys screaming bloody murder. Yusuke ran off in the direction of the voices, and found a Devilkin holding them hostage.
"Urameshi...! Urameshi...! Come, meet your DOOM!!"
Suddenly, a thousand Devilkin rose from the shadows. Yusuke prepared a Shotgun, but was stopped by the Devilkin holding the hostages.
"Fight one of them, and these three die!!!"
::Damn!! Botan, Kazuma, Kurama... please someone help me!!::
Suddenly, a massive (CRACK!) came out of nowhere - a giant whip had hit the hostage holder. Startled, the Devilkin dropped the boys and turned his head. Up on top of the building was Kurama and his crew.
"Get him, dammit! Kill them all!!!!"
Half of the Devilkin fought Yusuke on the ground, while the other half flew up to fight Kurama. Almost instantly, they all fell to the ground. The leader, however, was not giving up without a fight, and he grabbed Marvin and pulled large amounts of Spirnergy to his body.
"Say goodbye to your friend, Spirit Detective!!"
But again, the leader was shoved out of the way by Botan's oar. Her crew of girls followed.
"Yusuke! Kurama!"
Yusuke motioned that he needed a little help, and Botan and crew jumped intoo action, swinging loud, hard fists that punched a hole straight through the Devilkin and lead them to Yusuke. Noticing this, Yusuke charged Spirnergy into his fist.
"Get ready for some fireworks, everybody......... SHOTGUN!!!"
Yusuke thrust his fist into the air, and thousands of Spirit Guns came shooting out. Though not as powerful as his real Spirit Gun, they were powerful enough to kill every last Devilkin, including the ones surrounding Kurama. Breathing heavily, Kurama smiled at Yusuke.
"Thank you, Yusuke. I thought they'd never end!"
After that, Kurama and his team left, leaving Yusuke and Botan's crew together.
"Yusuke... thank you so much! We would've never survived if not for you!"
Yusuke waved this away with a smile.
"Hey, that's what I'm here for, right? Besides, it was the obvious choice against so many enemies."
Botan smiled, heart thumping hard inside her chest.
::Yusuke...::
Marvin, too, had to thank Yusuke and Botan.
"You really saved my life, you guys! Thanks!"
Yusuke merely smiled and gave a thumbs up. Suddenly, a voice called out from the void - Naosomi's voice.
"Yusuke, Botan, Kurama, and Kazuma, please report back to Heaven immediately! We have an emergency!"
As quickly as they had come, the four heroes left Earth and sped back to Heaven with all due speed.
::Dammit... just when it was getting fun.::
-Defense on Earth is easier than it appears, but will it stay that way? And what's this sudden emergency that Naosomi is calling for? The truth begins to unravel in the next chapter!-
