It is time, The Walrus said, to speak of many things. Like anime, and fan
fiction, and how Hussein's a dingaling. On with the story!
Chapter 16: Searching for Answers (give me your. . . tostadas. That's right! You heard me! Give me your Mexican food!)
"Grrrr, Koenma! what do you mean you don't have anything on this guy?!" Screamed Yusuke, talking to the toddler king through a communication mirror.
"Exactly that Yusuke. We seem to be having the same sort of problem that we did with the Saint Beasts. We just do not seem to have anything on this guy. I mean, demons with psychic abilities are a dime a dozen, and though the ability to psychically personify one's self within the consciousness of another or groups of other people is even rarer, I have everyone listed with such abilities accounted for. They are actually right here with me!" Koenma answered.
"Hmmm. . . Yusuke. You say this demon manipulated your dreams right? And he then produced an image to communicate with you? Tell me, what did this image look like?" asked a new voice, which came from an otherwise humanoid demon, except that he was orange and had a face like a lobster, with two rather menacing claws where a mustache would be, and for some unknown reason, spoke with an English accent.
"Uhh, well it came from out of this smoke or something, like it was made of it. Looked like a human, you know? Two arms, two hands, one head. There really wasn't a waist, that was where it came out of the smoke, and the head was just a head, there weren't any eyes or mouths or noses. Why do you ask? And just who are you, anyway?"
"Ah yes, forgive me, I am Ebichinou. Remember Rando? I was one of his earlier victims, as is most everyone here, and though I would like to thank and congratulate you, along with everyone else, I ask because such manifestations usually do lend clues, at least concerning the power of and who may have taught the psychic. Sadly, you describe the sort of manifestation that almost anyone with a modicum of talent could produce. Normally that would be a good thing, but this is probably a case of someone who knows this fact as well, rather then just some novice." The demonic crustacean answered.
Learning this, Yusuke decided to move on to the other matter at hand. "Alright, then Koenma, one more thing. We need a pass to the demon world; Kurama says that he should be able to convince Yoko to let us train with him, and we really could use this opportunity to get stronger. Yoko was one of the biggest bad-asses in this millennium, wasn't he? And we all agree that he could help us." he asked.
Koenma was not surprised to hear this, though this was a case where he would have been happier wrong. "Enhhh," he sighed, "that's gonna take some work to do. I suppose it could be arranged, but if it was, Kurama would have to be right. Yoko was not against killing those who failed his little initiation tests. You, Kurama, Hiei, and Kuwabara probably would not have *too* much trouble, but Kenshin, and especially Sanosuke, might end up with a pretty raw deal. The Yoko you guys would be dealing with is a lot nastier then the one that shares Kurama's body. I don't think there was any mention of him having any real gripes about humans in my records, but I'm pretty sure that they would have to go through the exact same tests that you four would. And I would be a lot more surprised if they didn't get cheated on and tricked then if they did. They would have to go in very hard and very fast."
Hearing this, Sano knew that now was a good time to say something. "Hey kiddo, If they want fast, Kenshin's about as fast as they come. And as for hard, well, they don't come much harder than me, baby. No offense." (A/N I must. . . resist temptation. . . for. . . tasteless joke)
"None taken."
"Oh. Yeah. Sano can be *really* hard. And he's got this really looooong. . .sword. (A/N GAH! CURSE MY INFANTILE SENSE OF HUMOR!!!!! AAHH!!!!) Kaoru said, pointing at Sano's old zanbatoh that he had used against Kenshin in their first fight.
"Hehhh. . . alright. You'll get your portal. But only you six, and Botan as a guide, can go. I want the rest of you over here, just because our villain said he wouldn't try anything hardly means he won't. I suggest you say your good-byes while you have a chance. It will be a while since you all see each other again." Ordered the Great Diapered One as a large, blue portal opened up out of thin air.
"Good-bye" they all said before they each jumped into the portal.

"Ohhhhh, Tesaki, you wonderful apparition! How did I ever live without a professional masseuse?"
Okay, now mister Voice in the Dark is getting just plain silly. All the good masseuses are from the planet Dlgjdiutrjkf 6, anybody whose anybody knows that! Anyway, next time we'll probably get to see the biggest bad-ass demon of them all: Yoko Kurama. Though you should know that I've only seen episodes of YuYu Hakusho to right before the finals of the dark tournament, so if there are any bigger bad-asses, then blame cartoon network for not having all four seasons (or sagas, or whatever the hell), and therefore not telling me earlier.
