NJ: MWAHAHAHAHA...Ha...ha...Never mind...what do you want, hentai?

Yusuke: Who, me? What have I ever done to you that's hentai?

NJ: AHEM!

Yusuke: Wha? ::looks behind him::

NJ: Is that KEIKO's lingerie stuck to your back?

Yusuke: Umm...No? ::sweatdrop::

NJ: You've been in her underwear drawer again, haven't you?

Yusuke: Ehehehe...About that-

NJ: Do the disclaimer and I won't tell her.

Yusuke: NJ owns nothing except this idea and any characters you don't recognise from the anime/manga Yu Yu Hakusho.

NJ: ::sigh:: on with the fic...THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS!

Chapter 3: Summon the troops and prepare for battle!

"Keiko!"

"Botan? Yukina? What are you doing here? And have you seen Yusuke? He skipped school again...I thought he might be here..."

Botan and Yukina had been searching for Keiko for the past hour and they had finally found her at the arcade where Yusuke usually hangs out.

"Keiko, you remember when you and I learned archery and then you liked it so much that Yusuke brought a bow for you from the Makai? It's finally gonna come in handy..." Botan told her and received a curious expression from the ningen. She then quickly explained the situation with the boys and why Yukina was with her.

"So you want me to come to the Makai with you to save the guys?" Botan and Yukina nodded, "Alright! Just let me get my bow... But who else is coming?" Keiko asked suddenly as she counted them,

"It's just us and a friend of mine who's keeping an eye on them for me, so that's four people." Botan said cheerfully and Yukina and Keiko sweatdropped,

"We barely know how to defend ourselves and we're going ALONE to the MAKAI?!"

"No, my friend can fight and I can defend myself, and you two will get better as we go along..." Botan looked at the two pale girls strangely, as if it had been the most obvious thing in the world, "Ikkouzou! (Let's go!)" Yukina and Keiko didn't look too convinced however and seemed to be having second thoughts about the adventure.

----The Bakas----

The two bakas continued to walk in the hopes that they would somehow magically end up wherever the two bishies had disappeared to and find food and water in the process. Apparently that wasn't going to happen any time soon. Kuwabara was staring at his feet as he walked and suddenly sat down, lifted his foot to his nose, sniffed it, and ravenously tried to devour it (for you Hazard!). Yusuke sweatdropped and backed away from his delirious friend, who was currently trying to get him to join him in his feast of 'roast foot', Yusuke graciously declined the offer with 'WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?! YOU NEED THAT TO WALK AND THERE IS NO WAY IN THE SEVEN HELLS THAT I'M CARRYING YOU!' Kuwabara gave him a pitying look and shook his head, believing that his friend had surely gone senile in his age and continued chewing his foot...

---The Bishies---

Hiei, in a sleepy haze, kept glancing towards the spot where that girl had been, almost as if he feared her return, but since that couldn't be it, he must have been bored out of his wits. Kurama was sleeping peacefully under a tree nearby...it was a wonder he hadn't woken when 'she' came. A thought suddenly came unbidden to Hiei's mind and the more he thought about it the more it made sense, the dust...he was covered in it...he was sleepy...the kitsune hadn't woken up, yet she was closer to him...Scooting closer to his comrade, he noticed the gold and silver particles that covered his form. Hiei looked up at the tree that towered above Kurama and formed an idea of what the girl had been doing,

'She must have sent the kitsune to sleep from the tree... but she didn't bother with me until I attacked her...what was she up to? What was her objective? Who was she...?' Hiei's thoughts trailed off, while slowly but surely sleep took hold of his consciousness and his head dropped onto his chest.

"Awww...How kawaii is that?!" a walkie-talkie like voice crackled into life with what sounded like very little signal,

"::crackle:: Get...On...::crackle:: With...It! ::crackle::"

"You're breaking up, but I'll do it in a sec...I wanna watch these two for a while first..." The crackled voice sighed and there was an audible 'click' as the object was turned off. The stars were out now and the full moon shone with all its glory,

"Now, it's my time to shine..." Passing the red head, the girl paused, cocked her to one side and smiled,

"Wow...maybe she was right when she said I wouldn't regret this!" with those words dying on her lips she dove off into the night to find her next victims...

Tsuzuku...

NJ: What is that girl up to? Hmm...I know but I'm not telling you yet! Don't you just hate cliffys? Yup, me too, but they're so fun to write! Also, I'm sorry about the short chapter, it will get longer though!

What will happen to Kurama and Hiei? Who will be the next victims? Who is that girl? Why is Kurama always asleep? All shall be revealed...if I get enough reviews!

The pairings stand as: Hiei/Botan Kurama/girl Yusuke/Keiko Kuwabara/Yukina

You read my mind! But I'm still taking votes and the majority wins! R&R and please don't flame me!
