After school, Shelby promised to meet them at the shrine, she wanted to go home and change first.

Why did I promise that I would go to the shrine?!?! I mean, I'm not even sure if they are the spirit detectives. Here I am, at home, lil bro and lil sis running around everywhere. As soon as I step in the door, I hear screaming and yelling. "Hey mom, I'm home!" I call; I don't know why I call her 'mom', oh well. I go up to my room and change out of this stupid uniform. I swear, it makes me look like a sailor. I choose a pair of dark blue jeans, a green shirt that says in black 'go away and never come back!' on the front, and a black hoodie sweat shirt. I grab my favorite dragon necklace as I head towards the door. "I'm going out mom, be back later!" I yell as I grab my shoes and head out the door. I walk down the streets humming a Weird Al song. I get to the many steps that go to the shrine. I climb up the steps; I wonder how many are there? I go up to the shrine and let myself in. I don't think they really care. I go in and see everyone except Hiei, Yami, and Emmy in the living room. Where did they go?

"Hey guys." Shelby called.
"Hey" the boys called back.
"Where did Hiei, Yami, and Emmy go?" Yusuke shrugged.
"Heck if I know. Probably out for a walk or something."
Just then Yami and Emmy came in, looking beat up and worn. "Well, speak of the devil...." Yusuke said. Emmy glared at him. Both Yami and Emmy left to their rooms to get cleaned up. They came out looking a bit better than before, but still tired. Emmy sat down next to Kurama and used his shoulder as a pillow for her head. He put his arm around her and gave her a sympathetic look. Yami went and sat down on a windowsill, waiting for Hiei to come back.
A week passed and the gang was able to gain most of Shelby's trust. They knew that they would have to turn her in soon. Everyday at lunch, Shelby thought she saw a black blur pass by, but she managed to convince herself that it was nothing. One day, Shelby didn't come to the shrine. They all thought that she might be sick. "No, she was at school today, she can't be sick." Yusuke said. Just then, both Emmy and Yami felt a strong spirit nearby. Kuwabara started to shake, as if he was scared of something.
"She's here," Yami said in a cold voice unlike her own. They all looked at her, what was that cold voice coming from Yami? Yami looked at everyone; they could see a red glint in her eyes. "I'll go get her, Emmy, you bring the gang. See you soon." And then, she vanished from sight.
"C'mon you guys, follow me quickly so that we can get Washiki!" Emmy said urgently. Everyone followed after Emmy, running so that they could get to where Shelby was. They came upon a field deep within the forest. They weren't surprised to see Shelby in her demon form, and that Yami was opposite of her in her demon form.
"Yami! You don't have to fight her! You know we can just take her to Koenma!" Yusuke yelled, but it fell on deaf ears. They heard a rustle behind them.
"It's no use detective, this fight is for our mistress, and nothing will stop her." A girl demon stepped out of the shadows.
"Cheyenne, what are you doing here?" Emmy asked.
"I got bored and decided to pay you and Yami a visit."
"What do you mean by that it's for your mistress?" Cheyenne sighed.
"We serve a mistress, Tasha, and of what I got from eavesdropping, Yami had to kill Shelby for our mistress, but Shelby's soul escaped before she died. So now Yami is only concentrating on revenge." They looked over at Yami; she had her katana out, and sizing up to Shelby. Shelby had out her throwing stars.
"So...we meet again Shelby." Yami said, tightening her grip on the katana in her hands.
"Indeed we do, except this time you can't kill me." Shelby smirked. An evil glint was in Yami's eyes as Shelby said this.
"Who said anything about killing you? I have orders, along with them," She jerked her head to indicate the gang, "To captor you. I don't go against orders, but Koenma never said if you could be injured or not." Yami started to circle her, like a cat about to pounce on her prey. (A/n: bad analogy I know, since she's ½ cat demon, but it seemed good to put that in there.) Shelby threw one of her ninja stars, but Yami caught it. She looked at it, like it was something valuable, then fire surrounded it. "Fire star!" Yami threw the star at Shelby; it hit its target in the shoulder. Yami smirked as blood began to stain Shelby's clothes.
Shelby grabbed her injured shoulder, why hadn't she been able to dodge it? Was it the fact that Yami managed to manipulate her own attack? Or was it the fact that Yami wasn't going to kill her. "You must be weak to not be able to dodge that." This angered Shelby.
"I'm....not....weak!"
