Hey! It's me, The Rogue Prince! Umm... bored again. I should find better things to do with my time...^_^; Sadly, it's a solo deal, no fun friends to play with. They're too busy. Should be an interesting story, I hope!! Enjoy!

Disclaimer- I don't own the Yu Yu Hakusho gang but Leighla and Malikyi are mine!

"Hello everyone! Botan here! I've got wonderful news! Yusuke and Kuwabara are going camping or actually looking for a demon by the name of Leighla. She's said to be one of the most powerful demons by far. Not much is known on her except that she lives in the forest the boys are heading to. No one who has seen her has come back alive except for one high level demon by the name of Malikyi, who is wanted in Spirit World for theft, murder and harassing humans. The boys will be looking for both of them. In any case, watching the boys try to camp should be interesting enough. Come on!" the blue-haired girl flew off on her paddle.

_~*~_

"Urameshi! Wipe that that smug grin off your face before I do it myself!" the red-haired boy yelled as the other just smirked.

"Come on Kuwabara! Just admit it! You don't know how to start a fire!" Kuwabara went red then started yelling at Yusuke while Yusuke was laughing uncontrollably. "Man Kuwabara! Calm down! Take some of the fun thrown at you! Hey!" Yusuke dodged as a tent flew past him. "Watch it! I didn't mean literally!!"

"I did!" Soon after, the whole campsite became a war zone with tents, firewood, duffle bags, you name it flying around, flying around with the clashing of fists and insults. "I'll get you! You're dead Urameshi!"

_~*~_

Some distance off, a lean figure watched the two's antics with interest. She shook out her silver hair from her cloak and disappeared with the passing breeze.

_~*~_

"Boys!"

"Huh?" Yusuke and Kuwabara stopped mid-fight to look at the newly arrived Botan.

"I leave you alone for one minute and you're already down each other's throats!" The two mumbled apologies. Then a low growl was heard and a bunch of flashing red eyes surrounded the camp. Everyone blinked then jumped to their guard.

A hissing voice was heard, "Spirit Detective... I've been waiting." The sky began to darken and a mist started appear.

"How hokey is this?!" Yusuke remarked. The red eyed shadows tightened their circle around the three.

"What are we gonna do?" Kuwabara questioned.

Yusuke spit on the ground, "I say we even the odds a bit!"

"Alright!" The two boys jumped at their attackers as Botan cheered them on, occasionally swinging her paddle at the shadows to keep them away.

"Spirit Sword!" Kuwabara swung his sword at the shadows but they disappeared and reappeared. "What?! How'd they do that?!" He stumbled back as the shadows started swirling. "Wow... I'm getting dizzy..."

"Hold on Kuwabara!" Yusuke ran towards the other boy as the shadows started swirling around him too. "What's this?! I can't see! Kuwabara! Botan!" The swirling mist and shadows closed in on them.

"Shoot!" Yusuke mumbled, "I can't see a thing! This could be a problem..." Then something struck out at him. He dodged and threw a punched but made contact with nothing. "Damn." Yusuke cursed, "I don't want to use the Spirit Gun, incase I accidentally hit Kuwabara or Botan, but these freaks are fast."

_~*~_

Meanwhile...

"Umm... A little help?!" Botan yelled as the shadows chased her threw the forest. It thinned out and she scurried up a hill to find a wide clearing. Across it was a cliff that's drop ended in a raging river. "Of all the dumb luck, I get stuck with a dead end!" She looked back to find the shadows were gone! Botan stopped running, puzzled at their disappearance. This didn't seem to be a good sign. She turned back to the cliff and found a figure at the edge of the cliff. "Huh?" she stumbled backwards. "Where did you come from?"

_~*~_

Meanwhile again...

"I'll save you Botan... Man am I dizzy..." Kuwabara swung out with his sword blindly as he stumbled around all dizzy like.

_~*~_

Again the mysterious figure watched as the trio fought the shadows. She frowned when Botan found the figure on the cliff. She raised her hands and started humming. She began to glow a pale blue.

_~*~_

"What?!" Yusuke blinked to make sure he wasn't seeing things, the mist was lifting. He could now see his hand in front of his face! He then found a very disoriented Kuwabara. The shadows melted away and the mist completely lifted. It was still dark though. A soft, sweet, yet haunting, humming rang through the air. Yusuke and Kuwabara gave a quick scan to pinpoint the source. Then the humming stopped.

"Yusuke, I felt a very powerful demon aura to go with that humming. I think that's what stopped the shadows. It didn't feel menacing like the shadows."

"Maybe..." Yusuke muttered, "Wait, where's Botan?"

_~*~_

"I've been waiting, dear Botan." the figure said softly. It started to slowly walk towards her.

"Wait a minute!" she said quickly, this didn't look good. "Do I know you?"

The figure chuckled softly, "No. You don't know me, but I know you..." Botan tensed up and prepared for the figure's approach.

Finally the figure came close enough for Botan to see. It was a tall, raven-haired man with piercing silver eyes. His long hair was pulled back into a low ponytail. He wore a long, black, trench coat opened up in the front to reveal an old fashioned long sleeve dress shirt with slacks. He gave a half smile with revealed a set of pointed teeth. Then he whispered something and Botan went limp, falling forwards only to be caught by the young man. He picked her up and softly spoke to the sleeping Botan, "I forgot to tell you my name, it's Malikyi..."

Ha! Cliffys suck don't they? I hope to write again soon. If you have any ideas, I'm welcome to any of them. I'm trying to update Lina's Revenge if any of you are reading it, also The Movies. These things take time. If you don't know what I'm talking about, don't worry about it. Review!!!
