Chapter 2: Funny Memories

~~HIEI'S POV~~

REWIND:

I scowled as the annoying girl with the oar-that-really-hurts-when-in-contact-with-your-head appeared below me. With her were Yusuke, Kurama, and the baka ningen. I was, as usual, sitting in a tree. I pretended not to notice her, however, in hopes that this wasn't another mission the stupid toddler would give me and the rest of the Reikai Tentai. My hopes never come true.

"HIEI!" Kami, she can scream loud. I jumped down beside her, glaring daggers through the light of the day. Maybe... she'll catch on fire if I stare at her long enough. No... too obvious. So I shift my glare at the baka ningen instead. Maybe I could set him on fire... not a bad idea...

"There you are! Koenma sent me to get you, Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara. It's a new mission!" What did I say? My hopes never come true. I let out a mental groan and break the eye contact as I heard the news. I hated going on missions; both for the toddler AND Mukoro. Yet I come with them, silently, to Reikai. 

In about half an hour, we were all assembled in the toddler's office, waiting for the information on the new mission. We waited.

And waited.

And guess what? We waited some more. I'm asking myself why I'm even doing this.

Oh yeah... right... because if I wasn't, I'd be down in the Reikai prison, suffering from lack of freedom. Hn. It's not like I get any freedom doing this either.

But still... at least I get to see Makai more than once a decade. Where is that stupid toddler?

And as if on cue, he walks in.

Er... floats... er... hovers? It's hard to describe.

Oh, so now he walks in. Guess he must have sensed that I was getting extremely impatient, and was about to blast the whole palace to smithereens if he didn't show up. Hn. He actually looked somewhat… distressed.

"Oh, you're here already. Good! Now, Reikai recently had a jailbreak, and I need you four to round the criminal up!" I scowled.

I really seem to be doing that a lot lately.

"And WHY do all four of us have to go?" The toddler looked at me.

"Because, this demon is possibly stronger than all of you! I'm taking a gamble by not sending out another Reikai Team with you!" Yusuke's jaw dropped.

"THERE'S MORE THAN ONE REIKAI TEAM?" Yusuke shouted, in my face.

He really needs some mouthwash. The toddler nodded.

"Yusuke, Reikai and Makai are very busy places, with constant jailbreaks and schemes, and other stuff like that. There couldn't possibly be only one Reikai Team!" Yusuke closed his big mouth, and started to listen to the toddler. "And this criminal goes by the name of Sikoku. He is a speed wolf demon, and attacks with only the basic weapons. His teeth, his claws, that sort of stuff."

"So why is he so dangerous?" Kurama inquired.

Hn. Sounds just like Kurama.

"Because, he is insanely fast. In fact, I would bet Genkai would have a hard time keeping up with his moves. Sikoku is very guile, and could possibly outwit even Kurama. And he uses all that to his advantage."

I could tell by the look on the fox's face that he was offended. After all, Youkos have three top prides. One, strength. Two, wisdom. And three… I'll let you figure it out on your own.

Let's just say that when he was a Youko, Kurama earned himself quite a … er… reputation. You figure it out.

So I bet Kurama was ready to go and fight Sikoku just to prove himself. And I could tell by the way Yusuke and the baka ningen acted, that they were ready, too. Why am I the only one who doesn't want to do this?

"Sikoku was last seen in a dense foresty part of Makai. There's already a portal set up for you in the other room. Hurry!"

"Wait… if he's so powerful, how'd ya keep him from escaping in the first place?"

Has the baka been thinking about that this whole time?

He's stupider than I thought. 

"Wards." And then the four of us were pushed out of the office. Yusuke walked to the next door, and opened it, finding a portal there.

We all jumped in it together.

I think I kicked someone.

Hope it was KuwaBAKA.

Kuwabaka landed first, and we all dogpiled him.

Er… demonpiled? Well… Yusuke's half demon…

I'm getting off topic, aren't I?

You're not listening, are you?

Too bad.

After hours of walking, we finally found Sikoku.

It wasn't hard.

He was taller than everything around him. He looked like a regular white wolf, just humungous.

Yusuke began to intimidate him.

Why does he always start off a fight like that?

If I got a nickel every time he did that… I'd have a helluvalot of nickels.

But Sikoku didn't seem to care.

I suddenly noticed how big he was.

But Yusuke only smirked, and got ready to fight.

For the last time.
