Is it you?
I don't own yu yu hakusho.
Also not a yaoi fan fiction.

Midori had been sitting there for hours. She was vaguely aware of where she was but she no longer cared. All she could think about was protecting Rinku. She couldn't tell him about Rinku. Not after she had put Rinku through suffering before. Even while he was a child. It had been enough to have lost his first mother, much less his foster mother. She wished that she could be with him. After a while she wondered whether or not they were trying to get her to tell about Rinku or trying to just punish her for messing up. It didn't matter though.

None of them quite knew what to do to find her but they had to try. Jin flew up into the air to see if he could see her in the distance but to no avail. They didn't have any idea on what else to do but they had to try. They could all tell that Rinku was worried.

Jin: I didn't see anything.
Rinku: then how are we going to find her?
Chuu: if I had to guess I would say that those demons from before got her.
Touya: but they didn't have wings?
Rinku: but remember. They took Midori-Roku's wings.
Chuu: yeah. So it must have been those same demons.
Jin: if you ask me I think that we need some help with this one.

They knocked on his door. After a moment the door opened to a very surprised Yuseke, Botan, and Kuwabara.

Yuseke: what are you all doing here?
Touya: we need your help with something.
Kuwabara: what do you need from us??

They walked in the door.

Chuu: Rinku found the woman who cared for him before I found him and we helped her. But she had gotten in trouble with this demon group and now they have her. We need your help finding them.
Yuseke: how can we help?
Jin: not so much you as Koenma.
Chuu: we're thinking that Koenma could help us find them.
Yuseke: what makes you think that he'll do that for me?
Rinku: we don't have anything else that we can do for her.
Yuseke: I guess.
Botan: I'll take you to him. (A/N: don't ask me how they get to spirit world but they do so . . . that's how it's going to work!)

In spirit world.

Koenma: I have heard of these demons. They are a very notorious group that I've been meaning to exterminate.
Yuseke: you mean send me in to do it for you right?
Koenma: if you think of it that way, yes. But I am afraid that I cannot tell you the location of their gang. If I were who knows what you would do.
Rinku: but you have to tell us!
Koenma: if you were willing to aid Yuseke on his mission then you would be able to go. But you have to help him and not just do your own petty little business.
Jin: we'll help.
Koenma: all right then. Yuseke I think that with their help you won't need to bother Hiei or Kurama. Kuwabara didn't come here so we don't need to bother him either.

Koenma hands them a map and they're off to it. The map brings them to a cave in the middle of nowhere. They venture inside the seemingly deserted cave. It grows increasingly dark the farther they go. Finally they come to a door. A normal door but it's made of stone to look like wood. There is no handle.

Yuseke: so I guess we break it down?

Yuseke punches it with all his strength. Dust is ejected into the air and they all cough.

Yuseke: well that's a pretty strong door.
Jin: here lemme try.

Jin tries his tornado fists but also to no avail. The door is still ejecting as much dust as ever and it's starting to get kind of foggy in there. Chuu tried then but didn't work. Touya didn't have much to try but he didn't work. Rinku looked to the others who all had failed. He didn't know what to do but he had to get to Midori-Roku. He racked his brains to think of some way to open the door. Then he remembered something that Midori-Roku had told him when he was young. She had told it to him the last time he had seen her before she never came back.

*~*~*~*~*Flash back*~*~*~*~*

Midori-Roku and Rinku are sitting outside staring at the sun setting over the lake that was near their house. Midori-Roku wasn't watching the sun though. Rinku noticed this and turned to her.

Rinku: why don't you watch the sunset? It's really beautiful.
Midori: I have something much better to watch.
Rinku: what's that?
Midori: you. You're much better than the sunset. Though one only comes at a certain day every day. You're better no matter how much I see you. You can tire of the sunset but I could never tire of you. I love you.
Rinku: I love you too.

Rinku smiled and Midori-Roku smiled back sweetly.

Midori: Rinku, I have something important to tell you and you have to promise me that you can never forget it if you truly love me.
Rinku: yes. I promise.
Midori: it's a poem. Here it is:

You are my one and only love. I'll show you that the entrance will not work with a simple shove. But you've showed me what really matters, Bring the paper that must change to tatters. But nothing can bring me back once I'm gone. For you will have to take the first steps as of a fawn. You leave me here with nothing to fake, I can't believe I made this mistake. I love you truly forever and always, But soon there will be nothing that will fill my lonely days. With love I tell you how I feel, My loneliness that will forever seal. Never can I once go back, For now I show my love never to lack. With nothing here, And with nothing found, I shed a tear, But you've shown me to the ground. I cry, I sob, I try, But I can't stop. This feeling that I know you know, Will bring me to let you go.

Some of the verses may make no sense for a while but they will later. Can you remember that please? For me?

Rinku: I think so. But can you write it down for me?
Midori: of course.

*~*~*~*~*End*~*~*~*~*

Rinku's hand drifted up to his hat and reached into the brim. He felt the leathery paper. He could never lose that paper. He couldn't. It had now become a part of him. He knew it by heart but he still had to keep the paper with him. He read the poem in his head. Some of those lines never made sense to him until now. He took one last look at the paper while he could. The others were paying no attention to Rinku, just trying to find a way to open the door. Rinku ripped the paper. It seemed like it was almost like he was ripping part of his skin off. He hadn't ever wanted to get rid of his paper ever. But he had to, to help her. It was in many pieces now. Then they all felt an odd wind in the tunnel. They all looked to Jin who looked just as surprised as the rest of them. The tatters flew from Rinku's outstretched hands and cracked the door apart upon their touch. They all looked into the dark that seemed to flood the room. They all heard one blood-curdling scream as they listened for a moment. They all knew whom it was from . . .

A/N: hope you enjoyed it! three reviews for one update. Fair? But don't forget that I want to put some people in this fic! All you have to do is e- mail me telling me your e-mail and I'll send you a list to send back to me after you have filled it out and I'll put you in! simple isn't it? well I actually want people to be in this fic. But preferably I would prefer you to be a demon. But it's your choice. That doesn't mean that you have to be a demon. I would just prefer it.
