The night was young, the people were out, and a group was gathered. The weird thing about the people who were gathered was that they were all wearing cloaks. In a city as big as this one there will be people who do that, but a whole group as big as this one wearing cloaks and all being together at one time is a little suspicious.

As Koenma watched them from Spirit World on his giant monitor Yusuke walked in.

"I saw someone who I assume is one of those people," Yusuke said as he watched the screen. "I had the weirdest feeling that I had killed the man."

"Peculiar. But you have had contact with them then. So you know that they are fresh out of Spirit World."

"No I didn't. How did they get out?"

"From what I believe was a tunnel centuries ago. But just recently they have somehow come back to life. The reason I wanted to talk to you alone was because they are also after Kuwabara. They hate you guy's families, but I don't know why."

"So let me guess, you want me to go down there and kick their butts, don't you."

"Not quite. They have a weapon that could kill you in an instant, so we want you to go to where they appeared and destroy whatever brought them back to life. And maybe that will destroy them also, but I can't be sure. You are to take only Kurama with you, if you take Hiei or Kuwabara then you will be too noticeable."

"Whatever you say, Spirit Boy."

When Yusuke left Botan was gone and Kurama had taken her place. "Come we don't have time to waste, I sent Botan on an errand for me and she will be back any second."

"And where exactly are we going?"

"To the marshes of the Dead."

"Where the hell is that?"

"Demon world. In one of the places that Spirit world hasn't captured yet. And we may not come out victorious. Now come, follow me, and quickly before Botan gets back."

"Um, Kurama, how are we going to get to Demon world?"

"A tunnel that Koenma made, just big enough for us. But your spirit energy might not fit through, so we also have an alternative."

"And that is..." Yusuke said.

"To get there the way Hiei does, using a spirit technique." And with that Kurama suddenly ran off. "Botan is coming and she will be here in seconds. The last room on the left of this hall is where the portal is. Meet me on the other side, and if you can't fit into the tunnel try contact me using a technique through the portal." He dashed off almost as fast as Hiei might.

"Oh man, how long is this hallway?"

At the end off the hall Yusuke could barely make out a door hidden in the shadows. Carefully he opened the door and saw a hole of darkness. It was repelling him, so he decided that that meant that he couldn't fit though it. So he concentrated his energy in his finger and shot a spirit gun into the portal. Within seconds Kurama was standing in front of him. "Looks like we'll have to use the spirit technique," said Yusuke.

"So it seems."
