MWUAHAHAHA! Those teachers thought they could stop me from updating! Oh, I'm sorry for the long update. I had lots of work to do, and my teacher is recommending me for National Junior Honor Society. So, forgive me if the updating slows down a bit. Not to worry though; only 36 days left of school, then I'll be able to update MUCH faster. Well, as promised, here are the review responses!

Urameshi no Koibito: Ah, thank you very much for the review. And yes, that info did help me. In fact, I should be writing a romance fic with Yusuke in it soon. I'm also planning another romance fic; it should be up by next chapter. -Gives bag of pixie stix-

Jess-YYH: It's not a problem; you were honest. You didn't flame me, so I respect you. In terms of length, I think I've improved. If you'll direct your attention towards my other fic, The Blackout, you'll see that these chapters are greater in length.

Not much else to say for now, so… ON WITH THE FIC!


Chapter five: Reactions

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T FIND THEM!" yelled a very ticked off Koenma.

" I've looked everywhere, Koenma-sama, but I can't find them." Said a worried, and slightly frightened, Botan.

Koenma clasped his head in frustration. "Oh, no… Now there won't be anyone to stop those demons robbing the spirit item vault…"

"Koenma-sama, if the spirit detective team is missing, don't we have bigger problems than a vault robbery? I mean, stronger demons could attack people in the Ningenkai…" said the blue ogre, known as Jorge. (A/N: I'm not sure of the spelling of his name; I've seen a few other spellings of it.)

"Shut up ogre!" yelled Koenma. "Perhaps we could send another team to deal with the robbery?" suggested Botan.

"Fine then. We'll send another team. Ogre, go to the library and try and find out anything you can about other worlds." instructed Koenma.

Botan got curious, "Koenma-sama, how do you know they are in another world?"

"Because Botan, if they were in Makai, Ningenkai, or Reikai, we would be able to find them." replied Koenma, slightly less angry.

After hearing Koenma's explanation, Jorge took off to the library. "Koenma-sama, I did check their houses a while ago, and I found them unconscious. Their spirits weren't in their bodies though." said Botan.

"Why didn't you tell me that!" yelled Koenma, "Where are they!"

Botan said, "I found Yusuke on the floor of his room; the same for Kuwabara, and Kurama. I found Hiei in the tree outside Kurama's window."

"Hm, Hiei has really got to get himself an apartment… Botan, go tell the other team to go to the robbery scene." said Koenma.

"And what will you be doing, Koenma-sama?" asked Botan.

"Eating!" yelled Koenma, as he pulled out a tray of food. Botan sweatdropped.

In Ningenkai...

Atsuko took out her keys and went to unlock the door, only to find that it was already unlocked. 'Hm, Yusuke must be home.' thought Atsuko, as she walked inside after opening the door. "Yusuke! I'm home!" yelled Atsuko, as she walked through the apartment. She received no reply.

She continued walking thought the apartment, until she came to Yusuke's room. She walked in to find Yusuke, lying on the floor. 'He fell asleep on the floor?'

She bent down to check if he was sleeping. "Yusuke? Yusuke! Wake up!" yelled Atsuko, as she shook Yusuke's still form. She worriedly checked Yusuke's pulse. It was very faint. (A/N: Remember, since their spirits aren't in their bodies, only a faint pulse is required to keep their bodies functioning properly.) "Don't you die on me again!" yelled Atsuko.

She picked Yusuke up and walked through the apartment and out the door. She opened the back door of her car and put Yusuke in. Atsuko got in the front seat and put the keys in the ignition, and started the car. She was off to the hospital.

At the hospital…

Atsuko carried Yusuke's body into the emergency room in the hospital. She went up to the front desk and said, "I found my son unconscious on the floor when I came home. I checked his pulse, and it was faint."

"That's odd… He's the fifth one today." said the lady at the front desk. She called for a nurse to take him in. The nurse came and took Yusuke off of Atsuko's shoulders; then took him into another room. The lady at the front desk told Atsuko to have a seat and fill out some paperwork.

Atsuko went to sit down, when she saw Shizuru, Shiori (A/N: For the sake of this fic, they all know each other. Okay? Got it? Good.), and Keiko's parents. Atsuko furrowed her eyebrows, and asked, "What are all of you doing here?"

Keiko's mother was the first to answer, "We went on vacation, leaving Keiko in charge of the shop. When we came back, we found her lying on the floor of the living room. As soon as we found her, we brought her here."

Shiori was next, "I went to visit a friend, stayed the night there, and came back in the morning. I found Shuichi on the floor. I took him out to the car and put him in the back seat. When I looked up, I saw Shuichi's friend. I went over to the tree he was in, and thought he was asleep. Then he fell out of the tree, and I saw that he was unconscious. I put him in the back seat with Shuichi."

"Shuichi's friend?" asked Shizuru.

Shiori replied, "Yes. He's short, wears mostly black, and has spiky, black hair. I believe Shuichi called him Hiei."

'Hm, Yusuke, Kazuma, Kurama, Hiei, and Keiko; all unconscious, and at the same time…Something's up.' Thought Shizuru. Then she got a short vision. She saw Hiei, Kurama, Yusuke, Kuwabara, and some other girl walking on a forest path. (A/N: Since she has high spiritual awareness, I figured she could have visions. Also, she doesn't know who Haruna is; so that's why I put 'some other girl' instead of Haruna.')

Atsuko interrupted her thoughts, "So Shizuru, what's your story?"

"The same as the rest of yours." replied Shizuru. She continued thinking, 'It seems that they have been taken somewhere else, but where? Who was that girl? And what does Keiko have to do with it?'


Kuruna: Howdy! So, how do you like this so far?

Karasu: I hate it; you didn't put me in. -glares-

Kuruna: Heh, Don't be mad… I'm gonna put you in another fic. So, no need to blow anything up.

Karasu: -still glaring- Will Kurama be in it?

Kuruna: Maybe…

Karasu: -forms bomb in his hand-

Kuruna: O.O Okay, okay! He'll be in it!

Karasu: -bomb goes away- Better…

Kuruna: Okay then… Anyway, time for The Kuruna Corner! This show will be co-hosted by the fighter of love, KUWABARA! -Audience claps as Kuwabara enters the stage- Welcome to The Kuruna Corner, how are you today?

Kuwabara: Well Kuruna, I'm doin' great! I'm taking Yukina out for some ice cream later tonight, and I can't wait!

Kuruna: Well, good luck. Speaking of love, what do you think of Kurama and Hiei together?

Kuwabara: O.O… Fox boy and Shrimpy? HAHAHAHAHAHA! -Keeps laughing-

Kuruna: -starts to get annoyed with Kuwabara's laughing, and whacks him with a conveniently placed toaster-

Kuwabara: OUCH! And, why would people think that those two are together anyway?

Kuruna: Well, there are lots of reasons. If you look around on the Internet, you can find A LOT of sites dedicated to them. I've even seen sites that say a reason they could be together is because Kurama looks like a girl! I must admit, the first time I saw him, I spent the whole episode trying to figure out whether or not he was a girl.

Karasu: -glares- Are you making fun of my Kurama? -various things blow up-

Kuruna: O.O No… I was just pointing out the truth. -table next to her blows up- Uh-oh… well that just about wraps up The Kuruna Corner for today… See ya! -runs as fast as she can away from Karasu- Oh, and if you flame me, I will beat you with my toaster!

Karasu: You can run, but you can't hide! -forms bomb-

Kuruna: AAAAAAAHHHHHH! -camera goes blank, and screen goes blank-
