Hiei thinks of Tomiji and Yamato as worthless human that he would just kill if they get too annoying... Sorry if I spelled anything wrong... but I'm kinda lazy, so I'll go back and fix it... someday...

----------------Chapter 3---------------

"Come on, Kozu! You can do better then that!" Yamato said, mimicking their gym teacher. If Tomiji wasn't so out of breath, he would have laughed.

"I'm a thinker, not a runner!" Tomiji yelled back.

"Since when have you thought?" Yamato said jokingly.

"Hey! Just because I'm not as smart as you doesn't mean anything!" Tomiji said as they finally reached the park. Leaning on a tree, he watched as Shuichi walked up to Yusuke and a toddler. Another boy, who was unofficial dubbed the 'vertically challenged goth' by Tomiji, appeared in front of Shuichi, giving a slight nod to the toddler.

"You know Koenma, you look a lot more mature when you're not a toddler." Shuichi said. Much to Tomiji and Yamato's surprise, the toddler replied.

"Well, Kurama, I was in a hurry."

"Yeah, yeah. Can we cut to the chase?" Yusuke said. "I have stuff to do."

"Let me guess. You're going to play Kuwabara in every game at the arcade." Kurama said.

"How'd you know?" Yusuke asked as 'vertically challenged goth' rolled his eyes.

"Let's go back to my office. It will be easier to explain there." 'pacifier breath' said as a portal appeared behind him.

"Hn. Why should I follow orders from you, you overgrown toddler?"

"Because, Hiei..." the toddler said. "I... said so!"

"Come on, Hiei! It can't be that bad. Maybe you'll get to kill some demons." Shuichi said as he walked into the portal, closely followed by the toddler, Hiei and Yusuke.

"Should we?" Yamato said.

"Well, I was hoping we could check out that new restaurant today..." Tomiji said as Yamato grabbed him and pulled him into the shrinking portal

----------------Spirit World-------------------

Tomiji and Yamato stood outside the office of everyone's favorite prince of the Reikai, listening in on the conversation.

"So, Koenma, why is this so urgent?" Shuichi asked.

Koenma looked at him strangely. "The Fog of Truth and the shadow cloak have been stolen, presumably by the same demon, and you ask why this is so urgent?"

Shuichi shrugged as Hiei rolled his eyes. "It can't be as big as the tunnel, and we all survived that one. And Yusuke doesn't count." He said, adding the last part as Yusuke opened his mouth to argue.

"Who are you?" a voice said from behind Tomiji and Yamato. They were only standing behind the open door in a hallway. They turned around to see a blue haired, cheery girl wearing a flowing pink kimono.

"Uh...secret agents?" Tomiji said as Yamato winced at Tomiji's pathetic excuse for an answer.

"Hey, you're wearing the same clothes as Kurama!" the cherry voice of Botan said.

Hiei, one of the many listening to the conversation taking place outside, rolled his eyes at the obvious remark from Botan. They were probably the two who had been stalking Kurama before. Kurama himself ventured outside into the hall and glanced at the two humans.

"Kozu? Izumaki? What are you doing here?" He said, obviously perplexed.

Hiei, once again, rolled his eyes. "You didn't think that nobody was going to get suspicious of your disappearances, Kurama? They wanted to know, and, just like most other humans, they don't know when it becomes, in a sort, stalking. You of all people should know that."

Kurama looked slightly surprised. "Did you read their minds?"

Hiei rolled his eyes. "I didn't need to. It was obvious. Kurama, you were letting your guard down. They were following you for the past few days."

"So, how much do they know?"

"Enough to know you're no ordinary teenager, to say the least." Hiei replied.

"Do they know anything about...foxes?" Kurama asked, a little mysteriously.

"Hn." Hiei said, obviously tired of talking. "Why don't you ask them?"

"Couldn't we just tell them everything?" Yusuke asked.

"Absolutely not." Koenma said, standing on his desk. "You know that we should keep the Spirit World secret from as many humans as possible."

"Humans. Pathetic." Hiei spat as he turned to leave the room.

"Hiei, take another step and I'll tell Yukina who her brother is." Kurama said, stopping Hiei in his tracks as he glared at Kurama.

"You do and I'll slit your neck." Hiei said, still glaring.

Kurama just smiled. "You know perfectly well that you would not."

"I could burn your little plants up without lifting so much as a finger." Hiei replied calmly.

Kurama glared at him. "You wouldn't dare."

Hiei smirked. "Try me, little Kitsune."

"Would you like say that again... to a death tree?" Kurama said, fingering said tree's seed.

"You dare make empty threats to me?" Hiei said, fingering his katana.

"Hey! Break it up! Break it up!" Yusuke shouted, stepping in between the two. Kurama placed the seed back in his hair, while the temperature in the room, which had been rapidly rising, went back to normal.

"So, may I as how much you know about Kurama? Oh, sorry, I forgot how much our little Yoko likes to be called Shuichi." Yusuke said mockingly as Kurama glared at him, fingering a rose seed.

"Yoko? Like the Yoko Kurama that we were studying the other day in school?" Yamato asked.

"Oh, Kurama? Why didn't you tell me? That would be the one quiz that I would ace." Yusuke said, before miming taking the quiz. "Where is Yoko Kurama now? Right in front of me! How did he die? Let's ask him!" He said, pretending to hold a microphone up to Kurama's face while Tomiji and Yamato stood there, perplexed.

"You know, Kurama, you're not acting yourself lately." Botan said. "I mean, the other day you were almost late for school, and you keep staying up later and later."

Kurama sighed. "It's stress. I've been a bit hard on my studying, and topping it off with all the stray demons who wander through, it's been hard to balance it all. Plus, I've been helping Shiori plan her wedding. But it's mainly the school work."

Yusuke laughed. "School? You're having studying problems with school? You'd think that you'd have the advantage, with all your years. Besides, school isn't even hard!"

Kurama glared at Yusuke. "Do you even go to school anymore?"

Yusuke frowned. "Well, I've been at grandma's training for the past few weeks."

"Uh, could someone please tell me what's going on?" Tomiji said, obviously perplexed.

Kurama turned to Koenma. "Lord Koenma, may I please tell them? They won't tell anyone else, and I can watch them."

Koenma looked at Kurama. "Don't you think that we have enough humans involved with the Spirit World? Think about it, Kuwabara, Kaitou, Keiko, Shizuru, Kido, did I miss any?"

"You missed Yanagisawa." Yusuke added.

"Oh, well, you get the point. But I'll think about it. Why don't you take them home?" Koenma said.

"All right." Kurama said, walking Tomiji and Yamato through the portal into the human world.

Koenma sighed a huge sigh of relief. "Well, glad we got rid of that problem."

"Uh, Lord Koenma?" Botan said. "You forgot to erase their memory."

Koenma, who was lying back in his chair, sat straight up. "Oh darn it!" he shouted as Hiei and Yusuke left so as not to add to the death toll of Koenma's temper tantrum.

--------------------------End Chapter----------------------

Heh heh... a little more humor then I would have hoped... Maybe I shouldn't have asked my friend for help... Oh, I'm having some writers block, and the only story I can think of anything for is 'Mirai', but I don't want to continue until I get a few reviews on it. Also, I want to know what story I should start next. All the stories I'll be working on are in my profile. Thanks! And, please review!!!
