So are you all ready for this chapter? There isn't going to be fight this time. And this chapter probably is going to suck, but I don't want it to. I just seem to get random ideas for this story and then I like them, but don't know how to realistically use them, you know? But then again, who says this has to be realistic? I want to thank all of you that reviewed. And for all of you that still like this story and have given me good reason to keep writing, even if my writing isn't as good as before, thank you. I couldn't keep doing this without you!! I love you. Well enough mushy-mushy crap, and on to the story. By the way, this chapter is going to tie some loose ends that I left before and is going to really tell the whole story about why things are happening the way they are. I don't know if I'm going to have more filler fights. It all depends on how I end up writing this chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own YYH or any of the characters, but you already know that.

Last time:

After the group walked a while longer, they ended up in what seemed to be a meadow. "How the hell is all of this here onna?" "Well, this is a whole different world down here, it's only buried secretly." "Hn." "Here we are, this is where we're going to be for a while." Naomi got a devilish smirk on her face, which made the Tantei rather edgy, especially when they saw some figures walking from the other side.

When the figures got closer, it was easy to tell who they were. "Kuronue." Kurama practically growled his name out. "Speak ningen. How do you know me?" Kurama transformed into Youko. "Ah, so you are not a ningen. Come now Youko, allow us to get on with our plans." "No." "No?" "You heard me. No. Who's the other guy?" "This is my new partner, Hitarataki." "So you abandoned all we had worked for so you could become a kidnapper?" "I don't see why you are so bent on getting back this ferry onna. You even had Hiei pretend he had feelings for another deity thinking I would take her and let the other one go. Smart thinking, but not smart enough. I've hade people watching you closely, you can't pull anything past me." "So shorty doesn't have feelings for Hinageshi?" "Though I can't help but wonder why Koenma would go through so much trouble to get this deity back, when he was the one who put here in the first place." Kurama's spirit energy rose to a point that no one had ever seen before. The rest of the Tantei backed off, knowing that if you got Kurama mad, and if it involved Botan, it was best to stay out of the way.

"What did you just say?" "Why does it matter?" "Because Koenma didn't send us, in fact he told us not to come. And because this is personal." "Don't tell me you're all strung up about a little deity gone missing. You could always have naomi here if you wanted." "That little deity happens to be my mate Kuronue." Kuronue's face paled and he backed off, while Hitarataki took control of the situation.

"That's all nice Youko. But really that little trick isn't going to fool us. We've been monitoring all of your actions for the past two months, and there has been no evidence of a relationship between you and the deity. In fact, our sources tell us you have a number of females at your feet everyday that you pick and choose from, and most happen to be more attractive than the deity. Sorry Youko, but you're just not as tricky as you used to be."

Naomi decided it would be a good time to speak up, hoping that she could clear the mess up. "Well actually, Sir Kuronue, Sir Hitarataki, the deity, Botan I believe her name is, is truly his mate. The spies we sent to follow the deity and her friends, they gave me the proper information. I did not find it relevant at that point to tell you. But no matter, you will not triumph over us. Our world is the truth, the everlasting, the ultimate. We live for what we dream, and once our wish is granted you will be given your deity, and the other girls, which, mind you, were only brought for company for the deity, and as some more insurance that you would come and allow us to be given our wish."

"WHAT THE HELL KIND OF WISH CONSTITUTES YOU TAKING OUR MATES? WHAT IS SO DAMN IMPORTANT THAT YOU HAVE TO RUIN EVERYTHING FOR KURONUE?"

"Immortal life."

"FINE, BUT GIVE ME BACK MY BOTAN. KOENMA ISN'T GOING TO COME. AND SPEAKING OF KOENMA, TELL ME WHAT YOU MEANT WHEN YOU SAID HE WAS THE ONE WHO PUT HER HERE."

Though the question was directed at Kuronue, hitarataki was the one who answered.

"The answer is simple. He was told that we would take any extremes necessary if he did not grant our wish. We asked him once for eternal life, just for the three of us, Kuronue, naomi, and myself. He agreed if we completed some missions. We completed the missions, and when we got back, he decided he didn't want to give us eternal life anymore. He didn't care. We told him we would work for him, it didn't matter to us, we just didn't want to die ever. He had agreed, and then went back on his word. Later we sent some spies after all of you. We found that he was in love with the girl, Botan. We decided to take the offensive and kidnap her. It was then, the night that we were to take her, that we overheard a rumor that she was engaged and that Koenma would do anything to take her back, that he couldn't allow her to be given off to someone who didn't deserve her, who didn't love her like he did. We knew he would do anything if he loved her enough. So we have waited, and waited, and still he has not come. We thought you were the ones he chose to come and rescue her. But this, this is completely unexpected. We had no idea that you, Youko, were the one stealing her away from the prince. She is rightfully his, according to him. He would do anything for her, all we did was insure that we would get our wish. We meant no harm to either you, or Hiei."

Kurama's energy was slowly rising and he was getting angrier by the second every time he heard Koenma's name, or anything having to do with Koenma.

"What do I have to do to get her back?"

"Simple. Grant our wish. That is all we ask. We only ask for a small thing, immortality for the three of us. We have even agreed to work for Reikai if we have to, as long as we don't have to die. Anything not to die."

"You sound like a pathetic weakling. Kuronue, why are you not talking. You haven't said anything since I announced that the deity is in fact my mate."

"I meant no harm Youko, like hitarataki said. If I had known she was yours, I would never had taken her."

"Yes you would have, don't lie. I hate liars."

"I just don't understand how a youkai as smart and cunning as yourself, could let himself get caught up in a mess with a messenger from Reikai. Reikai of all places. And not just any Reikai messenger, the prince's chosen!"

"But, didn't Koenma propose to my sister?"

"Yes he did Kuwabara, but we're not going to get any answers just standing here. Take me to Botan, now."

"Very well, you may see her, but that is all."

Next Chapter, they get to see the girls, and explain everything to them. There will be a lot of Koenma bashing, sorry but I just don't like the guy. For all of you that do like Koenma though, I'm sorry. But like I said, I just don't like him. Laterz.
