"She hit you pretty hard there Kuwabara." Yusuke grinned as Kuwabara slapped an ice bag on his eye.
"And her hand burst through the window without a scratch?" Kurama asked, impressed.
"Hmph. Doesn't prove much. The astounding thing is that she was able to sense Kuwabara's spirit energy even though he was hiding it." Hiei harumphed. He then shot Kuwabara a wary glance, "You did cover your spirit energy, did you not?"
The look on his face said it all. "How do you do that?"
"Idiot! No wonder she spotted you so quickly. Can you do anything right?" Hiei said as he rounded on the cowering Kuwabara.
"Nobody told me to." Kuwabara replied boldly.
"Lets not forget that he has no common sense." Yusuke smirked.
"Yusuke! You have a visitor!" His mother yelled from the other room.
Botan pushed the door open, "Have you started on the case, because- oh!" She gasped when she saw Kuwabara's swollen, black eye. She then said in shock, "What in the world happened to you?"
Kuwabara shrank back in embarrassment. He obviously wasn't going to say anything, so Yusuke did.
"He got his ass kicked by a girl." Yusuke said, a fit of laughter coming up again.
"Akira?" Botan immediately asked.
"Its not funny." Kuwabara muttered, face still hidden by his ice pack.
They explained the unusual events that had occured in the whole day. Botan sighed, "Once again you have underestimated the enemy. She probably has even more tricks up her sleeves. I have some more information on the group Akira runs."
"Its called Catalyst if Hiei explained it right." Yusuke said.
"Bingo!" Botan said her famed word, "Anyways we found out that they are also on Earth. We don't know exactly where they are, but we know that they must be in the city, close to their leader."
"Have you figured out what she and her group wants?" Kurama asked, eyes turning serious.
"No. They run very tight security on the top secret things. I doubt anyone could penetrate their plans." Botan said with another sigh of frustration.
"If her group is in the city, I can spot them easily. Then I can persuade them into telling me what they're up to." Hiei said, familiar glint in his eyes when he said 'persuade'.
Kurama stood silently. He knew Akira's last name, Yaishe, was something he had heard before. But for now, it would remain a mystery to him.

Akira sat in her room, staring at the moon. Her usually fierce emerald eyes held a softer sheen to them at the time. Although she seemed to have not a thought in her head by the relaxed expression on her face, hundreds of thoughts ran across her mind.
This was one of her meditating moments. It was the time where she made decisions and plans that would effect Catalyst for better or for worse. So far, all her choices had led Catalyst in the direction she intended for it too.
Suddenly, her eyes regained their fiery gleam. Akira would make sure it would stay that way.

It was late night. And Kurama still couldn't sleep. He generally had no trouble sleeping. But tonight was different. His demon intuition had gone off like angry hornets. There was trouble nearby.
Standing up, the moonlight revealed his face as he walked to his window. Squinting outside, he looked for anything suspicious. Nothing. At all. Then he felt it. Like an electric shock. There was someone else in the room. With strong spirit energy.
Even when Kurama whirled around to face the intruder, the shadows still hid the nighttime prowler.
"I was wondering when you would figure out I was here." the intruder said in a mix of amusement and irritation. It was definitely a female, Kurama decided.
"What do you want here?" Kurama said defensively, clenching his fists.
The stranger stepped out of the shadows to reveal her face.
Akira. Of course. He should have known all along.
"Ah, I see that you already know me." Akira smirked, noticing his steely gaze, "You must be Youko, or Kurama as you know preferred to be called. We know all about you."
"And who exactly is 'we'?" Kurama asked, maintaining his cold expression.
"Shame on you. You should know by now. Catalyst of course. Your toddler of a boss should have told you by now." She replied, a deceiving grin still on her face. She was treating this like a laughing matter, Kurama thought in annoyance.
"If you plan on attacking now, I will kill you with no mercy." Kurama growled, spirit aura flaring to show he was not joking.
Akira laughed, "I assure you, I have no intention of fighting you. As long as you give me reason not to." With a more serious tone, "Oh no. You hold something very important. And you need to be alive in order for us to get it."
"Tell me what it is it that I have that you and your group need so badly?" Kurama snarled. His nails were digging into his palms, that if he pushed them in any harder, his hand would begin to bleed.
"Did that idiot spy send you my message?" Akira questioned simply. She noticed the anger in his eyes grow. The spy must have been a friend of his.
"Go to hell." Kurama hissed.
"I could have snapped your little friend's throat if I wanted to. Aren't you glad I didn't?"
"I prefer that you didn't touch him at all." Kurama growled, "Now I'll ask again. What do you want?"
"I'm sure that it will become quite clear when the time is right. Now, I must leave. But we should be meeting again soon." Akira said calmly.
Kurama blinked in surprise. She was gone. Just like that. He sat back down on his bed, glancing at his clock. 3:00 a.m. He shut his eyes, trying to grab at the memories that were slowly surfacing. He knew Akira. He was sure. But Kurama couldn't remember where or when he had met her. The memories slipped away like water in his hands. I'll find out who you are Akira, Kurama silently vowed to himself.
joy. I've finished chappie 3. numba 4 coming soon.
