Yomi glanced around the park as he and Talinterel entered.His eyes flickered in the darkness and he looked back down at the ground, not really expecting to see anything but not wanting to meet the humming ice demon's eyes.

"Yomi...are you embaressed?"

Yomi blushed in the darkness and growled softly, their feet barely making any noise as they plodded over the soft grass."No...Why would I be?"

"I kissed your cheek."Talinterel replied, watching Yomi's expression with his glowing icy blue/white eyes.

"What.."Yomi growled, grabbing a branch overhead and hoisting himself up and into the crook inbetween the tree branches.

Following closely, Talinterel grabbed his leg and yanked him back down.Yomi yelped and twisted around, sliding down the rough bark and staring up at Talinterel.Smiling gently, the silver haired demon hugged Yomi and nuzzled his hair with his chin.

"I'm sorry I embaressed you.Now Im just glad I didn't try making out with you."Talinterel sighed, ruining the mood.

Gaping, Yomi tried to twist away and climb back up the tree.Talinterel pulled him down once more and leaned down to kiss him lightly on the lips.Blushing from the roots, the young fire demon didn't react but stood stock still as Tal kissed him.

Sighing, Talinterel pulled away and eyed him. "You taste niceO.o"

Yomi slapped him,"How DARe you?!"Then he quickly scrambled up the tree and curled up against the trunk, still blushing.

^_^He curled up near Yomi, smiling secretly to himself. () Kurama sat up in bed, the thin white sheet falling to rest around his waist.He twisted around to gaze out the window while gently running his hand through Hiei's blackish blue locks.Glancing down at Hiei splayed across his chest, Kurama could easily see the resemblance between him and Yukina's son.

He just wondered where this would all go.What would happen now with a full- blooded demon on the loose in their city.It didn't bode well....and in the future it could cause problems.he didn't know where Yomi was going and he was worried.

Hiei stirred and Kurama wrapped his arms around him and hugged him closer.In the morning he would talk to Koenma.It might be better not to tell Hiei though..... () Yusuke frowned, kicking at a can on the sidewalk.He hunched his shoulders as his eyes twitched.-stupid toddler, always taking it out on me.Not my fault.-

The spirit detective came to an abrupt stop as his body connected with solid brick and he started to fall back but a strong hand clenched around his arm and hoisted him back to his feet.Yusuke frowned and jerked his arm free, raising his head.

"Hey there Urameshi."Kuwabara greeted, readjusting the groceries in from his left arm to cradle in both.

Yusuke blinked twice, straightening and putting on his smirk/smile.

"What are you doing in town?Did you leave Yukina all alone in that dojo out in the middle of the woods where flesh-eating demons could find her?"He grinned.

Kuwabara frowned, adjusting the grocery bag again,"that's not funny Urameshi.Since that kid left our house I have to run all the errands and that means leaving my beloved Yukina at home for hours on end."He looked wistfully off into the distance and Yusuke smiled, closing his eyes and shaking his head.

"Same as always aye Kuwabara?"

Kuwabara's eyes flickered back down to meet his,"Yeah, I really miss fighting those demons, ya know.Kurama, shrimp-boy, you, me.We were a team."

Shrugging, Yusuke stepped around him,"Yeah well..I guess life moves on.See you around."

The red head turned to watch him blend back into the crowd, sighing.

Botan boredly sat flopped in the armchair outside of Koenma's large doors that led to his office.

An ogre rushed over to her, offering tea.She shook her head, rubbing her temples.The ogre nodded quickly and rushed off again.She relaxed back into the dark velvet and frowned.-Yusuke...I hope you catch the demon soon...We would all miss the team...Why did we all have to grow up...-

The large wooden doors slowly creaked open and Botan blinked back to reality, sitting bolt upright and watching as Kurama approached the door, nodding his head to the ogres.Botan shot to her feet and quickly jogged in after Kuraama.

Koenma glanced up, a stamp poised halfway above a document.He nodded to himself and quickly stamped it, then stood on the desk, shuffling the papers and putting them in a separate stack on the left side of his desk.

"What brings you here Kurama?"Botan stayed near the curtain on the edge of the door.

"Yukina's son, Yomi."He replied in his quiet voice, stopping in front of Koenma's desk.

Koenma waved his hand, sitting.Kurama also sat and folded his hands on his lap.

"Now, about Yukina's son.He's a full-blooded demon is he not?"Koenma asked, leaning forward slightly.

"Yes,"Kurama confirmed,"and he's living freely in the city.He doesn't know how to control his powers as well as he thinks he can."

"Well.."Koenma sighed,"I don't really know what to do about that..But you see, we still have Yusuke out killing demons and so far there's nothing.Something is killing them off instead of us and I don't know how long it'll be before my dad comes and..."The prince paused, shuddering a little and shuffling his papers with his small hands a little nervously,"Confronts me about it and he might even go so far as to take away my pasaphire...and I couldn't have that...If you help Yusuke wipe out the general demon population in the human world, Ill solve your Yomi problem.Is it a deal?"

Kurama hesitated then nodded, reaching forward to shake the young Koenma's hand."Now..Where is Hiei?"

Kurama coughed into his hand,"He's still asleep.He likes to sleep in on weekends you know."He waved his hand vaguely and stood.Koenma raised an eyebrow, looking up at Kurama.

Kurama half bowed and quickly strode out, eyes darting into the shadows where Botan stood hidden before walking out the doors. "You can come out now."Koenma called to Botan.

Blushing faintly in shame, she walked from behind the curtain to stand nervously in front of Koenma's desk.

"I suspose you were listening.."

"Yes sir.."Botan replied.

"Well..we need all the help we can get...go on out there and help them."

Botan gaped,"But sir, Im the grim reaper, I can't just-"

"Well, you weren't doing much just lounging around outside of my office now were you?"Koenma questioned, staring evenly at her.

"N-no...I guess not sir.."

"Well, go on then.Your job can wait....escaping my father's clutches, I mean..keeping the team together is first priority.Go!Shoo!"

Botan turned and fled.
