A/N: This story takes place after the first Dark Tournament and before
Kuwabara began to be concerned about school.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kuwabara was making baby faces at his kitten when suddenly the phone rang.
"Hello?" Kuwabara said.
"Koenma needs to see you," It was Botan.
"Awww. What does he want?"
"Just get up here you idiot!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Spirit World ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Whadya want," Kuwabara blurted out, angry because he was pulled away from his quality time with his kitten.
"You must know that Yuske is a lot stronger than you, but you won't admit it."
"What?! I could kick Urameshi's ass any day!"
Botan smacked him for being so disrespectful.
Koenma cleared his throat uneasily. "No you certainly cannot. Just admit it. I won't tell anybody."
"Alright, he is, but how? I mean, we both discovered our spirit energy at relatively the same time! I don't get it!"
"I know you won't be able to answer this but it's worth a try. What has Yuske done that made his spirit power grow greatly in between Genkai's tournament and the Dark Tournament?"
Kuwabara just stared like an idiot for about 10 seconds and finally said, "I don't know."
Koenma looked at Botan who was trying to hold in her laughter. "You don't think it had anything to do with Genkai being his mentor, do you?"
Kuwabara once again wasted another 10 seconds of Koenma's precious life by staring dumbly then guessed, "maybe."
"Well I think it does, and since you are the one in need on the most training-"
"What?! Are you saying I'm the weakest."
Koenma glanced at Botan again and calmly said, "No not at all, you're simply the one in need of the most training."
"Oh," Kuwabara said.
Botan couldn't take it anymore and burst out laughing.
"What's so funny?!" Kuwabara shouted.
Botan struggled to talk for seconds but finally managed a simple, "Nothing."
"Oh," Kuwabara repeated.
That only made her laugh more.
"Is she dumb or what?" Kuwabara whispered slyly to Koenma.
That only made Koenma start to laugh.
Kuwabara was very confused at this point, so he just laughed with them. This went on for a couple of minutes until they all caught their breath.
"Getting back to the point," Koenma started, trying not to laugh, "Since Yuske gained all of that power by simply training with Genkai, we thought it would be a good idea if we sent you to a teacher to improve your skills."
"Like Urameshi?"
"Yes, like Yuske," Koenma sighed.
"Okay," Kuwabara said happily. "But don't mention this with any of the other detectives."
"I will not," Koenma promised.
Kuwabara looked at Botan. She sighed. "I won't either," she stated as she crossed her fingers and held them high for Kuwabara to see.
"What's wrong with your fingers, Botan," Kuwabara asked.
Botan just laughed her way out of the room.
"I've already informed your mentor of your coming. He is eager to meet you. You will address him as Master Jayt. He is the most advanced warrior in the art of materialization."
"Hey just like me!"
"Not exactly. He's about three times stronger and he has mastered every weapon ever to come out of materialization. Like spears and even bow and arrows."
"Okay."
"Oh, by the way. He suggested you travel on foot. Although the journey to his home is extremely dangerous and infested with demons, he said you should be able to make the trip if you're strong enough to compete in the Dark Tournament."
Kuwabara thought this over then said, "Alright, I'll do it."
Kuwabara was making baby faces at his kitten when suddenly the phone rang.
