Assignments & Discoveries
Yusuke had wondered a little on his walk home about the fox girl. He wasn't sure if he should believe that she and her sisters were simply here because they liked or if they really were up to something. He also couldn't help wondering if she knew Kurama at all. Oh, well. Maybe he'd get the chance to ask later. He had his hand on the knob when suddenly the door virtually flew open. "Yusuke, it's about time you got back. Koenma says this next mission is very urgent." "Huh? Whoa, slow down Botan. What mission?" "The new one you get today. He even wants Kuwabara and Hiei to help." Looking over Botan's shoulder, Yusuke is amused to find a rather annoyed Hiei leaning against the wall. "Hey Hiei, been awhile." "Let's just get this over with." "So, where's Kuwabara?" "He's coming. He should be here in a minute." Just then there's a knock at the door, "come in." "Really, Yusuke, you don't have to yell." "Alright Urameshi, what do you need this time?" "I dunno. Nobody's told me yet." "They want us to find something you fools." "Thanks for the insight Hiei." Suddenly Koenma appears, "you're all here, good. Thank you Botan. Now about your assignment. This is very dangerous and the results of not completing it could be catastrophic. Six vixens have left Spirit World and are hiding in the living world. It is imperative you find them. The havoc they can cause will be near impossible to control once it starts. Any questions?" Yusuke looks up smiling, "yeah I got a couple. One, what are they doing here? Two, what are their names? Three, why isn't Kurama here?" "Kurama's not a part of this because there are six female foxes running loose and while he doesn't cause trouble now he may if he comes across them. As for what they're doing there, I've been told they're looking for their brother. Their names are Abunai, Kurai, Yoru, Kirei, Kiken and Arai and they are... what are you smiling about Yusuke? "I found your vixens already." "That's good. Now as I was saying they are dangerous and you must handle this situation very carefully. WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Yusuke just sorta shrugged. "I already found them." "But how?" "One of 'em, said her name was Yoru, was coming out of the library. She dropped a book and I picked it up. She had a pretty big stack so I helped her carry them home. She was surprised I could see her ears and tail. Said she was living there with her five sisters." Koenma looks shocked a few moments. "Well that makes things a little easier. At least we know where they are." "But why this town?" "Fool. You truly don't know anything." "Another comment like that Hiei, and you'll be back in a cell." Botan, realizing that Hiei may know something, hushes her boss quickly enough. "Don't hush me!" "Hiei knows Kurama better than any of us. Let's listen," Botan whispers to him. "Could you explain Hiei?" "Idiots. They found who they were looking for." "And that would be?" "In age order, Abunai, Kurai, Yoru, Youko, Kirei, Kiken, Arai." "Youko? You mean they're Kurama's sisters?" "That's right." Yusuke glances at Koenma, "so, now what? We know where they are, they've probably already found Kurama, and when I was talking to her Yoru said they like it here. She seemed pretty happy with all those library books." "If they found stuff they like that doesn't bug anybody why don't we just leave 'em alone. Kurama's happy here and he never caused any trouble," Kuwabara adds, finally joining the conversation." "Well.... I still don't like it but they are where you can keep an eye on them. I guess we could leave them be, as long as they don't do anything they shouldn't." "That's great, 'cause I kinda want to meet the rest of 'em." "Yusuke!" "Hey, the book worm was sorta interesting, I just wanna know what the others are like." "I think I'm going to ask Kurama about this tomorrow." "Why do that Botan?" "Just because they know where he is doesn't mean he knows they're here." "I guess..."
Cliff hanger anyone? What's more it may be awhile til I get chapter 4 up. Oh the agony. You'll live. *smirks to herself*
