A/N: Hey all! Well, cause my partner forgot to get an a/n up on the first one, I'm gonna do it now. This is a joint story, and we're gonna switch with writing chapters, she might do more than one chapter consequently, but mostly we're gonna switch off! This is my first chapter! and my partner wrote the first. so read and enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: We do not own Yuu Yuu Hakusho!!! If we did, KURAMA WOULD BE MINE!!! AHHAAH!! and kuwabara would definitely not be with Yukina! He's too not cute! (sorry kuwabara fans! PLEASE DON'T FLAME US!!!!!!!!! okay, im gonna stop now! so in brief: WE DON'T OWN YUU YUU HAKUSHO! except for the characters we make up!

"Arana! I swear! I WILL GET YOU FOR THIS!!"

"Kurama!!" yelled Botan reaching Kurama's house.

"May I help you young lady?" asked a woman coming out the door.

"Oh, yes, is your son around?" asked Botan quickly stepping off her oar.

"He's gone out. He said that he had to meet someone very important," replied the mother.

"Do you know when he will be back?"

"No guarantee, I'm sorry, would you like me to leave a message?"

"No, no its alright. Thank you!" Botan walked away leaving confused. Strange, where could Kurama have gone? she thought.

Quickly, she made her way to the place Hiei was staying. Not finding him there either, she got very concerned. Where could they be? She looked around, and then left off for the Spirit World.

*********************************

"And thats why we need your help."

"But its impossible to catch someone who practically owns time, isn't it?"

"Kurama! Hiei! There you are!" said Botan coming through the door in Ko-enma's office.

"Hello Botan," said Ko-enma.

"I went looking for the both of you, but I see Ko-enma has already told you the message I was sent ot deliver to all of you," said Botan.

"Yes, Ko-enma called us both here as soon as he found out about Aku Arana," said Hiei.

"So, I take it that both Yusuke and Kuwabara both know about her?" asked Ko-enma.

'I told Yusuke, and he's supposed to tell Kuwabara right when I left," explained Botan.

"Very well. I suggest the best you can do right now, is devise a plan to defeat her," Ko-enma stated. "mind you, she is VERY strong! Even though her plan is similar to the Saint Beasts - like you mentioned Hiei - her strenghth is much more than the four of them combined, actually even stronger!"

"Very well, Ko-enma," spoke Kurama (A/N: THE VERY BEAUTIFUL AND HANDSOME! lol)

"I have a question though, sir," spoke Botan. "Is Genkai going to help?"

"When she can, I really don't want to put any burden on her, after the Tournament, there isn't any much she can do except for fight. And with the very little amount of energy she has, I really don't want to bother her," explanied Ko-enma.

"Very well."

"You may leave now, I have other business to attend to."

A/N: review please!! any comments would be nice!! thank you!
