Miyu: Everyone, prepare to watch AA-chan beg for the reviewer's mercy since she hasn't updated for weeks. (Evil grin)
Keesho: I can't wait! (Same evil grin)
Melissa: u.u Yeah, um, I'M SO SORRY!!! My PC broke, and yeah… Anyway, um, all rants are reserved for my other fic and that's about it. No, wait one more thing! I changed it the genre to angst/action/adventure because there is humor, peoples! So yeah… Disclaimer!
Disclaimer: Hmm… Blackmail's always a good ways to get what you don't have and want, right?

Chappyter 3: A day with Takanaga Keesho
Koenma waved a hand in front of the dazed tantei. "Yusuke? Reikai to Yusuke, do you copy? Over!"
He snapped out of his trance. "Huh?"
"Please look at the vid screen." Koenma pushed the remote and the screen flashed on.
It showed a girl of seventeen, almost Yusuke's age. She had shoulder-length black hair that was streaked with midnight blue to match her sparkling eyes.
Yusuke looked at her for a while. "She's cute." He couldn't help but notice the large, um, things on her chest. (A/n: lol. Yeah, I know it's hentai-ish but hey, I told you there was humor!)
"She's your next assignment," said Koenma.
"Wha?" Yusuke gave him a you-gotta-be-kidding-me kind of look. *What the Hell am I gonna have to do?*
Koenma took a couple of minutes to explain. Apparently, the girl's name was Takanaga Keesho. She was altogether an average girl; smart, somewhat athletic, and a TV addict. And she grew up rich, taking many courses in martial arts and in weaponry.
Normal? Well, as normal as a rich girl can get?
Yeah right.
You see, an ancestor of her's was a tantei, and her spirit energy was slightly active. It just had to be activated.
And that's not all. Kitayu has contacted her several times. Keesho is Kitayu's next victim.
"And what am I supposed to do?" Yusuke asked. "Use her as bait for that damned bitch?"
"No," Koenma answered blatantly. "You have to protect her. And you can teach her to manipulate her ki while you're at it."
"So when do we start?"
"Tomorrow, when she gets out of school."
*~*~ The next day
Keesho closed her locker and put her backpack on. *Ugh… I hate trigonometry. And I have fifty equations to work out tonight!* She ran past the school gates, eager to get home.
"Takanaga Keesho, a pleasure, I'm sure."
Keesho whipped around and saw a boy with brown hair and hazel eyes, a girl with blue hair and lavender eyes, and another boy with black hair and big brown eyes. "H-how do you know my name?"
"Oh, great, Koenma, that's just great!" the boy with the black hair said. "What are we supposed to tell her? That we were stalking her and that there's a demon that's trying to kill her?!"
Koenma rolled his eyes. "Takanaga-san, I'm Koenma, this is Botan, and the baka with the big mouth is Yusuke."
Keesho stared at them blankly. *Yusuke? Why does he seem so familiar?* She shrugged her shoulders and let the idea slip out of her mind. "Whatever. You're all psycho, so I'm gonna jet. Sayonara!" She turned and ran off.
"Matte! Do you know someone by the name Meiosutai Kitayu?"
Keesho's eyes widened as she turned to face them. "How do you know Kitayu?!"
"Please come with us; we'll explain everything," reasoned Botan.
"Well… okay." As they started walking, Keesho got a better look at Yusuke. "You! YOU KILLED KITAYU!!!"
Yusuke turned in time to catch Keesho's punch. "How… How did you know?"
Keesho had started sobbing and pounding on his chest. "Why did you kill Kitayu? You asshole!" she cursed between sobs.
Yusuke stopped her by grabbing her wrists. "Keesho… Gomen ne. Now, shh, I promise we'll tell you everything."
*~*~ Yusuke's apartment
"So… Kita-chan is really a…" Keesho blinked a couple of times. "…A psychotic murderous, tiger demon archer chick that steals and kills all that she possesses?"
"Yep," the other three said.
"And I have something called reiki?"
"Yep."
"Oh, okay." Keesho fainted.
"Oh, dear," Botan said worriedly. "That could have gone better."
Yusuke picked her up. "Let's bring her to Kurama's. He probably has some smelling salts and we need to introduce her to them anyway."
"Them?" Koenma asked.
"Well duh. Hiei's always outside of Kurama's window. You know how he likes sleeping in trees."
*~*~ Kurama's house
Kurama took a small bottle out of his hair. (A/n: o.O Does his hair lead to another dimension or something?) Taking some smelling salts out of it, he waved it in front of Keesho's face. "She'll come to momentarily. You must have given her quite a shock."
Keesho's eyes slowly fluttered open. "Ugh… Where am I?" She looked up at Kurama. "Who are you?"
Kurama smiled a gentle smile. "I'm Kurama, and this is my house."
She sat up. "Are you a youkai?"
"I'm a kitsune and I can control plants."
Keesho walked around the room. "Nice place."
"Arigatou."
Just then, a small black figure tried to climb through the open window. *Huh? What the Hell?* Keesho thought. *OMG! A robber!*
She ran up and pushed the 'intruder' out the window. "Dumb ass! It's not very smart to break into a house in broad daylight and while people are still inside!"
"Keesho!" the rest hollered. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!"
Question marks popped up around Keesho's head. "Are you blind? That spiky-haired freak was trying to break in!"
Kurama ran to the window and stuck his head out side. "Hiei! Are you okay?"
Hiei grunted and sat up. "Kitsune no baka! You and your damned roses, honestly!"
The fox sweat dropped. "Gomen, Hiei! But you're okay, ne?"
"My ass is full of rose-smelling thorns. What do you think?!" Hiei got up and ran into Kurama's room and glared at Keesho. *Why does that stupid rule about youkais not killing ningens have to exist?!*
After regaining his composure, he asked, "Who's the girl?"
"Um, I'm Takanaga Keesho," she introduced herself sheepishly. She bowed deeply and sweat dropped. "Sorry about that whole window incident."
"This is Kitayu's next victim," Koenma told the Goth.
"Great. And we have to protect her, right?"
"Right. And you also have to train her."
"Joy," Hiei muttered, rolling his crimson eyes.
"Keesho-chan," Botan asked, "How did you happen to meet Kitayu anyway?"
Keesho put a finger to her chin and recollected. "Hmmm… Well…"
*~*~ Flash back
Keesho closed her eyes and concentrated on her breathing. *You're just being paranoid, Keesho. No one else is here.*
A looming figure stepped out of the shadows of her room. "How long have you known I was there?"
Wrong again. Her eyes snapped open and she sat straight up. "Long enough. Who are you?!"
"Meiosutai Kitayu. Feel free to call me Kitayu."
"Why are you here? What do you want with me?"
"I'm a very lonely ghost, Keesho."
Keesho gulped. "G-ghost?"
"Yes. And I am in need of a friend. Will you be my friend?"
"I, um…" Keesho wasn't sure what to think. *She seems sincere. It can't hurt, can it?*
After a while, she finally answered. "…Sure."
"Thank you," the spirit said wholeheartedly. " You're the first person to have given me a chance."
Keesho smiled at the new member of her tomodachi. "Hey, a girl can never have too many friends."
*~*~ End flash back
Keesho let out a sigh. "That was a couple of months ago. We've grown rather close since then."
Yusuke stood up and headed for the door. "Well, we should get out of here. C'mon, Keesho."
"Where are we going?" she asked.
"Duh! To train!"
Keesho sweat dropped and grimaced. *Welcome to Urameshi's boot camp of Hell. Population: Me.*
