Chapter ten

Journey to Spirit World

"Hotaru, you stay here with Raven," Hiei told his wife, while looking at his daughter. "I didn't know you had a daughter, Hiei!" Kurama smirked. "Hn, mind your own business, fox," Hiei said, as he kissed Hotaru on the lips, and Raven on the forehead.

"We're here!" Gouki announced, as he saw the River STYX. "Yes, now let's get going," Hiei said, as he walked towards a dungeon. "Are you sure they're here, Hiei?" Gouki asked, fear evident in his voice. "Don't tell me you're scared!" Hiei smirked. "NO!" Gouki yelled. "Then quit your complaining, you fool!" Hiei snapped, as he picked up the 'Shadow Sword.'

"Are you ready?" Kurama asked, looking at Gouki and Hiei, while he held the 'Mirror of Forlorn Hope,' in his right hand. "Yes," Hiei replied. "What about you, Gouki?" Kurama asked. "I'm ready," Gouki said, as he picked up the 'Orb of Bas.'

"Yusuke, we just got news that the 'Artifacts of Darkness' were just stolen," a toddler, named Koenma said. "Yeah, so what are you telling me for?" asked a 14-year old boy, with greasy, black hair, wearing a green uniform. "It's up to you to stop them," Koenma said. "The demons' names are Hiei, Gouki, and Kurama," a bubbly, blue haired girl, named Botan said. "And you best hurry, you only have one week," Koenma said. "Why doesn't that surprise me?" Yusuke asked, as he left Koenma's office, and used the demon compass, to track down the three demons.

"So, this is where your little get together is," Yusuke said, as he walked into a clearing in the forest. "Who are you?" Hiei asked. "I'm the 'Spirit Detective,' Yusuke Uramaeshi," Yusuke said. "Another one of Koenma's pathetic, little detectives?" Hiei stated. "Sorry, but I don't have time to get arrested," Kurama said, as he walked past Yusuke, and left. "I have better things to do with my time," Hiei said, as he left, too. "Guess, it's just you and me," Gouki smiled. "Yeah," Yusuke agreed, "And I'm ready to kick your ass!"

"Now, how could I lose to a kid, like you?" Gouki asked, as Botan's reinforcements, came and took Gouki away to 'Spirit World.'

"Yusuke, are you alright?" Botan asked, as Yusuke woke up. "Where am I?" Yusuke asked. "In your room, this nice, young lady carried you over on her back," a brown-haired woman, who could only be Yusuke's mom, Atsuko said, as she hit Yusuke on the back. "YOU CAN SEE HER?" Yusuke asked, looking perturbed! "Koenma gave me a human form!" Botan whispered, as she used her powers and healed Yusuke.

"Well, Kurama's next on the list," Yusuke said, as he headed towards the hospital, where he saw Kurama waiting for him, under a full moon.

"Kurama, I'm glad your mom's okay," Yusuke said. "Thanks, but when you're around her, please call me by my human name, Shuiichi," Kurama said, as he handed Yusuke back 'The Forlorn Hope!'
