~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*******************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Joey blinked dumbfounded, rubbing his eyes roughly before opening them again to see the same image, Botan, the blue haired perky girl, was floating on an oar in the hallway. He waited till she was gone before stumbling back into the living room; he shook Yugi furiously back and forth while kicking Malik in the head, not noticing the absence of one person. Yugi's large amethyst eyes opened slowly, blinking then closing tightly once more, he pulled the cover around him mumbling.
"What is it Joey?"
Malik on the other hand did not have as quiet reaction as Yugi.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT!?"
Joey clasped a hand quickly over the Egyptian's mouth, motioning a 'shh' motion with his pointer finger. Yugi peeked from underneath his covers with a small sweatdrop. Malik fumed and bit Joey's hand making the blond boy pull his hand back, shaking it as if to rid the pain. The two stared at each other with death glares until Joey remember his reason for waking up the two in the first place.
"Oh! Look this is important…" he was cut off at the snoring of his two former awake companions; a vein pop throbbed in his left temple before shaking the two awake once more.
"It's too late for this mutt…"Malik mumbled turning on his side, back faced away from Joey.
"I saw Botan flying in a boat oar thing!"
"…what!?" The two Millennium item holders asked in unison, turning towards the blond, they're attention now captured.
Joey sat back and crossed his arms nodding.
"Yeah, I was in the bathroom taking care of business and when I came out I saw her flyin' past."
Yugi sat up, the blankets falling to his lap. His eyebrows knitted into a light frown as his friend tried to explain something that didn't seem possible…but then again there were stranger things such as two people living in the same body.
"Are you sure you weren't dreaming, Joey?" The small boy asked rubbing his eye completely of sleep.
Joey nodded, holding up two fingers.
"I only dream about two things, food" he started putting one finger down "and babes on beaches feeding me food."
Malik rolled his eyes, throwing the covers off of him and placing his feet on the floor.
"Your imagination and intelligence never cease to dumbfound me. Alight then there's only one thing we can do…spy, which room she went into?"
Joey took a moment to think while Yugi scrambled from underneath his own covers.
"The boy's room and what do ya mean dumbfound you? Are you calling me dumb you bleach fake blond" Joey snapped.
"This is all real!" Malik growled tugging at his hair "One hundred percent platinum blond, and unlike you I actually come with a brain."
Yugi shook his head with a large sweatdrop falling from his head, staying on his knees; he began crawling away from the ever bickering pair.
"Let's go see what's going on."
His friends followed his lead with a very reluctant Malik who was at the end staring at the last thing he wanted to see, Joey's butt. No one happened to notice that a certain white haired boy was missing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yusuke yawned for what seemed the eighth time in ten minutes, Botan had once again awoken him and the others alerting there was a demon near by for sure this time. Her watch was going much stronger this time but the four spirit fighters were somewhat reluctant to exit they're apartment for nothing again.
"Botan I think your full of crap again."
Botan threw the watch at him in full urgency.
"Look! It's working this time though!"
Kurama picked up the watch that had smacked Yusuke in the face, watching as it spun furiously.
"She could be right this time" Kurama spoke softly.
"Hn, she would be wrong. I'm not trying to waste my time kitsune." Hiei interjected
Yusuke stretched his limbs; he mentally debated what to do. Finally he decided he wasn't going to get any sleep unless he went to check things out, besides he was itching for a good fight anyhow. He pulled a pair of sweats over his boxers and slipped on a black tank top, nothing fancy but something to get around in. Kurama seeing where this was going simply had to put on a shirt choosing for once not to dress fancy. Hiei was constantly in his own clothes with the exception of his ever present cape. Kuwabara was already dressed and ready to go, anxious to use his spirit sword once more.
"The think 'I'm so tuff and mighty because I'm the manager of Reikai' toddler is really starting to piss me off, we've been here for at least one month and still haven't found nothing." Yusuke grumbled slipping on his shoes.
Hiei smirked pulling his cloak around himself.
"I agree with the detective."
There was a slight shuffling heard behind the closed door so softly that only one with very sensitive ears could have picked it up, unfortunately for the eavesdroppers, kitsune's had very good sense of hearing and smelling. Kurama shifted his gaze from his friends to the door, tilting his head with his usual mysterious smile in place; he turned back to his companions.
"Seems we have company" he pointed out softly as not to be heard.
The other looked at him curiously for a moment before he jerked his thumb to the door. Yusuke stood and started making his way towards the door intent on making whoever was listening in, get what they were going to be dealing with.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Malik hit Joey in the head repeat after Joey had stopped abruptly making Malik get a close up of something very undesirable. Yugi hushed them, listening in on the conversation, the two stopped they're silent bickering choosing to listen also. The three caught bits and piece of the convo but were move confused then they were to begin with.
"Kitsune?" Joey mumbled.
"I'm so tuff and mighty because I'm the manager of Reikai' toddler" Yugi sweatdropped but was curious about this 'Reikai' nonetheless.
"Detective?" Malik added.
They thought over the parts only to be brought back to reality as steps were being heard towards the door. They panicked afraid of being caught by these unknown strangers, Malik quickly shoved Yugi and Joey into a closet across the hall then pulling himself into it making sure to shut the door. Joey shifted uncomfortably trying to stare at anything but Malik's behind in front of his face.
"This is so humiliating" Joey whined quietly.
"Shut up, do you know how many girls would be willing to be in your position? Ra you sound more like a dog than normal?" Malik muttered, trying to glare at the other blond.
"Yeah, none" Joey mumbled "Don't go all Kaiba on us, I'm not a dog!"
"Shh" Yugi hissed.
The three stayed in the awkward position, waiting for Yusuke-tachi to leave, but they're silent prayers went unanswered as a three quick flashes of light invaded the closet. Yugi-tachi's eyes widened the door fell away, Malik and Yugi mentally winced as the flashes of light seemed to also cut bits of their hair while Joey remained unharmed. They fell out onto the floor, groaning as they're limbs became tangled within one another's, the sheathing of a sword caught they're attention finally making the three look up at a smirking Hiei, calm Kurama, slightly worried Botan, sleepy Kuwabara, and smug Yusuke who stood beside Hiei in the front of the small group.
"So how much did you hear?"
Yugi and Joey spent five minutes trying to explain while Malik stood with his arms crossed, becoming more and more impatient with his friend's so called explanations. Seems he wasn't the only one becoming fed up as Hiei unsheathed his sword again and pointed it to Joey's throat.
"Talk."
"Kitsune, Detective, I'm so tuff and mighty because I'm the manager of Reikai' toddler" Joey spilled; he never was good at keeping secrets or telling lies.
"Hiei put it away; it seems our 'undercover' mission has leaked out."
Hiei's red eyes looked at Kurama through the corners, silently debating if he wanted to decapitate the human before him. But the hero thing has worn off on him, and finally after cursing himself over a hundred times, he retracted his sword.
"We have no time for this! If you have forgotten there is a demon about!" Botan yelled materializing her oar, ignoring the stares of wonder from the Yugi-tachi, and jumping onto it.
"Alright we'll settle this later, let's go kick some demon ass!" Yusuke replied, punching into his hand.
The Reikai Tantei exited quickly leaving the Yugi gang momentarily speechless, they just skipped out like it was nothing out of the ordinary.
"What should we do?" Yugi asked looking up at his company.
"What else?" Joey uttered "Follow them and see what's up."
"For once I agree" the other blond spoke up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The five arrived on the pinpoint location soon after leaving their apartment; the streets were silent, too silent to be normal. Yusuke looked around suspiciously then turned his gaze on Hiei.
"Can you get something with the jagan?"
Hiei closed his eyes smirking, his bandana starting to glow a light purple before reopening his ruby orbs.
"There is nothing the jagan cannot pick up."
"Uh I don't think you'll need to…" Botan stuttered behind them.
The gang turned around to come face to face with a horde of demons, each mixing making a wall of black moving blurs. Kurama smirked, removing his trademark rose form his hair.
"Seem it wasn't one demon that Reikai was picking up, it was a many."
"Ryou!"
Once again attention was turned towards Botan, her hand covering her mouth. Kuwabara looking confused followed her gaze and he too was deeply surprised. Walking out of the crowd of demons, was the quiet white haired boy that they had gotten to know, his expression was twisted into narrowed eyes and a smirk.
"I've been waiting."
