Roses Are Black...

"Yuusuke! Yuusuke!"
The detective rubbed his head wearily. "Nani?" he asked groggily. Opening one brown eye, Yuusuke asked again, "Botan? Botan! What are you doing here?"
Botan hopped in the room and held her oar with one feminine hand. "We just found out that a demon is holding Kurama captive. In return for Kurama, he wants the Mirror of UtterDarkness."
Yuusuke scowled. "That stinks, ne? But if he wishes with the mirror, then won't he just die? We have nothing to worry about!"
Botan bumped the young detective with her wooden oar. "You idiot! Don't you think that the demon would have already thought of that? Koenma suspects that the demon must have a new kind of potion that prevents death from magic."
Rubbing his sore head, Yuusuke thought about it. Something he didn't like to do. "I guess you're right. But then what're we going to do?"
Botan remained silent during this part of the conversation. "We could... Well, I dunno. I told you first. Tell Kuwabara that he should be down by Genkai's temple by after school today. And if you happen to see Hiei, tell him to go to the temple after sch- Er, I mean, around three. Ja ne!"
The ferrygirl smiled and rode her oar back to the Spirit World.
"Kuwabara!" Yuusuke yelled to the other juvenile delinquent. "Guess what?" School was just let out and the carrot-haired teenager was roaming around with his gang.
"You wet your pants last night, Urameshi?" Kuwabara smirked.
Yuusuke scowled. "No. But Botan told me-" he glanced at the rest of Kuwabara's gang and said strangely, "You guys don't mind, do you?" He pulled Kuwabara away from the group and into a shadowed corner.
"So what did Botan-san tell you, Urameshi?" Kuwabara asked hesitantly. He didn't feel like going to to the Spirit World today.
Yuusuke took a breath. "Kurama's missing and there's this demon that- " He blinked. "Oh! We have a meeting after school at Genkai's temple! We have to go! Botan will explain to you when we get there."
The two gave a scared look at each other before racing to Genkai's temple. Each trying to beat the other. But Kuwabara paused a moment while Yuusuke paused, jogging back to the carrot-headed teenager.
"Do you feel that? Someone's following us..." Yuusuke stared at Kuwabara strangely before glancing around at the trees.
"No," Yuusuke replied.
But a marroon swirl appeared before them an ironic laugh approached them. It was wicked and sent chills down their spines. "I need your help." Had not the voice been evil sounding, they would have helped the swirl easily, probably.
"How?" Yuusuke asked suspiciously. "What do you want?" The swirl became larger and a the laughing grew higher and...weirder.
A spirit came out of the swirl. It was tall and dark and...er...fat. With dark blue glinting eyes, it looked at the two hungrily. "A physical form..." it replied to Yuusuke's question. "More likely, one of your's..." And it cackled loudly.
Yuusuke and Kuwabara stared widely before the dark spirit came closer and closer...
And closer...
