A storm was brewing in the distance. Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed, bringing them out of the gloom for just a split second before plunging them back into the thick darkness.

They did not have to wait long for the next youkai. It charged them from behind, roaring. They didn't even get to see what it looked like before they heard a clear voice yell:

"Kagon-retsuzan-shi!!"

A green whip cracked, and the youkai fell to the floor, dead. Mayumi smiled at Kurama and realized something:

'I haven't smiled this much since we were in Makai...'

They didn't even bother stopping. All five of them kept walking towards the storm.

"This is too easy," Yusuke muttered after a while. "We're not even getting hurt when we fight." He looked at Mayumi. "If Daisuke's minions are such pansies, why are you worried?"

"I'm not worried about his minions, Yusuke." She spoke in a clipped voice. "They are the least of our worries...in fact, I think Kurama's right. They are a distraction."

The next youkai was smack in front of them, begging for his life. Yusuke rolled his eyes and demolished him with a blast from his Rei-Gun.

"Damn it, these guys are fucking PANSIES!!" Yusuke yelled. "I WANT TO SEE SOME ACTION!!"

Mayumi looked at the sky. "Those were four minions that Daisuke sent, and he shouldn't have any more" she said, counting on the fingers of her left hand. "In that case, Daisuke wants to fight..."

The lightning flashed again. Mayumi looked around at them, her face whiter than milk.

"Me."

The five Reikai Tantei went forward into the uncertain.

All of them hated the uncertain.
