Disclaimer: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho but I do however own Kori Haritsuta, her whole family, and all the apparition clans (like the Hishinja mentioned in the last chapter; they don't play a major role in this chapter however.)

*******Chapter 3 - Recruiting Kuwabara*******
Ten minutes after leaving Genkai's temple, Yusuke and the others arrived at Kuwabara's house. Yusuke loudly pounded on the front door and Shizuru, Kuwabara's older sister, opened the door.
"What are you kiddies doing here?" Shizuru looked at them oddly.
"Oh, hello Shizuru! We're here to see Kuwabara!" Botan stepped forward to greet her friend.
"Ok, well. Kazuma is in his room right now. Do you want some tea or something?" Shizuru waved for Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama and Botan to come into the house. The boys entered, declined her offer for tea and rushed up the stairs to Kuwabara's room. However, Botan exclaimed,"Oh, yes! Tea would be lovely!" and followed the older girl to the kitchen. Inside the kitchen Shizuru prepared some tea and she and Botan sipped while exchanging casual conversation.
Upstairs was a different story. Yusuke had just finished explaining their new case. "Nuh uh! I'm not risking my neck again! I happen to like my life!" Kuwabara yelled while violently shaking his head.
"But Kuwabara, you're part of our fighting force; it'd be wrong not to ask you to come with us." Kurama, calm as always, replied to the near hysterical Kuwabara.
Yusuke gave Kuwabara a sheepish grin and said,"But we're going to go kick some demon ass! What's better than fighting?" Kuwabara threw Yusuke a dirty look and responded to the spirit detective,"Uh, my life for instance! There's no way, Urameshi!"
Hiei smirked, turned to the spirit detective and said,"Give it up, Yusuke. We don't need the useless oaf anyway. It really is unnecessary to drag along a pathetic lump."
Kuwabara angrily stood up, fury revealed on his face, and grabbed Hiei by the shirt collar. "Who's useless, huh Shorty?! I bet I could shove your face through the wall if I felt like it!"
Hiei threw Kuwabara's hands off him in disgust and replied,"Is that a challenge? I'd like to see you try."
Kuwabara yelled back,"Anyday, shrimp!"
The 3-eyed jaganshi smirked again and asked,"Feh! Am I supposed to be intimidated?"
Yusuke, clearly sick of this argument, broke it up. "Now, children! I really don't want to have to spank you guys! Kuwabara, just lay off!"
Kuwabara, his pride hurt and it being a major part of him, huffed and said,"You know what, Urameshi? Since I'm such a good friend, I'll make an exception and come along with you this time. I can't let Kurama and shrimpface take all the credit."
Hiei expressionlessly retorted,"I have a name, you know? Oh wait. Of course you don't, you don't have half a brain." (A/N: To Kuwabara fans out there, I'm not purposely bashing Kuwabara for the fun of it. I bash him because Hiei doesn't seem to like him ^^;)
Kuwabara glared furiously at Hiei and fumed at him,"Shut yer trap, Hiei!", saying his name in reference to Hiei's comment before. The demon only glared back, wishing he could whip out his katana and rip the baka ningen limb from limb. Hell, he thought, it wasn't a bad idea considering the circumstances. But it wouldn't do to get the idiot's best friend angry.
This whole time Kurama was watching with mild interest while Hiei and Kuwabara snapped at each other and when Kuwabara announced his decision to tag along with the others, Kurama realized Hiei, knowingly or not, had goaded him into joining them whether he liked it or not. Yusuke only discovered it a split second after Kurama. The other two were still throwing death glares at each other.
Kurama leaned towards Yusuke. "He really does know how to stab the pride in the heart, huh?" Yusuke whispered back,"I can't believe Hiei of all people could change Kuwabara's mind; he's as stubborn as a mule!"
"Oy! Urameshi, I heard that!" Kuwabara taunted Yusuke, while teasingly swinging a punch towards him, knowing he would dodge it. Yusuke quickly curved out of Kuwabara's punch and said,"Well, anyway, thanks and good job, Hiei. You actually got him to change his mind."
"Oh, please, fool. You think I was actually trying to get this lump to accompany us? He won't be much help anyway." Hiei stalked out the door.
Kurama chuckled and said,"That's his way of saying you're welcome. Hiei has enough different codes to create a secret spy language." Yusuke snickered,"I'd like to see that made into a school subject, How to Speak Hiei!"
Kuwabara, irritated because he didn't understand what they were rambling about, pointed at the door and said,"Guys, can we go now? We have a girl to rescue! And if we go to the apparition world I might see my darling Yukina. (singing) Oh, Yukinaaaa! Lalala, your herooooo is cominnnnnggggg!" With that he leapt up and half sprinted and half danced through the door, still singing. Yusuke and Kurama stared at him with wide eyes and sweatdropped.
"Shouldn't we tell we him we're going to the snow apparition country, not the ice apparition?" Kurama asked Yusuke while they got up from the chairs they were sitting on. As they walked to the door Yusuke replied with a shrug of his shoulders,"Well, I hate to ruin his fun. He's so happy."
Hiei was already outside, unseen as he waited for the others on a thick branch in the tallest tree, the leaves veiling him from sight. On their way to the front door Yusuke and Kurama called for Botan. She walked out of the kitchen while saying,"Thanks for the tea, Shizuru!"
"Anyway, Yusuke, I've created a portal for you guys. It will lead straight into the apparition world." Outside, Hiei and Kuwabara were waiting and when the others came out they surrounded Botan. The bubbly ferry girl made a motion with her hands like she was opening a book. A shimmering, rainbow colored portal opened and the 4 Reikai Tantei climbed through it, one-by-one. When the last one, Yusuke, had stuck his foot through the portal, Botan wished him luck.
"Good luck, Yusuke! Go save that poor girl!"
"Thanks, Botan! Be back soon!" Yusuke gave her a thumbs up. And then he shoved his head through the sparkling break and was gone.
*Author's note: Wheeeee! Another chapter done! How did you guys like that one? Ok, I'm sorry they're taking forever to get to Makai ^^; but I promise next chapter there will be a lot of fight scenes! Just an interesting fact, I made up Kori's name and did you know that her last name, Haritsuta, means "crystal ivy"? I chose this name because it sounded elegant, not to mention perfectly fitting for a princess like Kori! I seem to like names that mean something so if I can't find a good name for a person I just make it up! Ok, I promise next chapter they're fighting! Thanks for reading and note to review! ^__^
