Well, thanks to everyone who reviewed! I didn't think this fic would get 7
reviews in two days, but it did, so yay! XD Oh, and a quick note to
sakurasango: The proper spelling of Youkou is 'Youkou'. Because both 'o's
in his name are long, you put a 'u' after each one. That's why there's no
'u' after the 'o' in Kuronue's name, cause it's short: Koo-rawn-oo-eh. :)
The dub makes it sound long, but it's not. lol Anyway, enjoy chapter 2!
-The Mission, Chapter 2-
The next morning found Yusuke, Kurama, Kuwabara and now Kuronue in Koenma's office. The bat demon thief looked highly amused at the appearance of the great Koenma, even though he'd seen him before, it'd take awhile for the joke to get old. He couldn't help it! Think, a 700-yr-old toddler running Reikai! Thankfully, he was smart enough not to comment, but he did sense Koenma's slight irritation at the amused smirk on his face.
Yusuke yawns hugely, the edge of his brown eyes watering slightly. He snorts in annoyance, glaring at Koenma, sitting in his big comfy red chair behind his desk. Saturday. Sa-tur-day. Definition: YUSUKE GETS A BREAK!
Or not.
Koenma immediately turns his attention on Kuronue, his right eye twitching slightly from the cocky bat demon's smirk. "Kuronue. Complete this mission, and that body is permanent as long as you do not break Reikai law. I cannot relieve you of the scars, I'm afraid."
"That's fine," Kuronue says flatly. It didn't matter to him. The scars simply marred his appearance, toughening the skin they covered. They caused him no pain and did not hinder him. He was not about to complain for a purely aesthetic reason.
Koenma nods. "Alright. Now, none of you should take this lightly. This is a serious matter, and involves both Makai and Ningenkai."
He had their attention. Anything that threatened both worlds was nothing to shrug off.
"A demon has been gaining power without our knowing. In fact, it was due to Mukuro's information we know about this at all," Koenma continues, "Hiei notified her right away, and thanks to him, really, we can nip this in the rear in it's early stages. He has the ability to mask his energy with such excellence, he appears powerless to others. Hiei's Jagan saw through this, luckily. So, your mission is an infiltration," Koenma glances at Kuwabara, "Kuwabara, I'm afraid you will not be going. You're needed in Ningenkai to notify me of any strong changes in energy."
"Hey, but I wanna go-!"
Kuwabara protests, but Koenma shakes his head and cuts him off, "I'm sorry, Kuwabara, but I need you in Ningenkai," the prince turns his head to a blue- skinned blonde-haired ogre standing next to him, "Ogre! Take Kuwabara to Botan so she can escort him back to Ningenkai."
The Ogre nods, with a mumbled, "Yes, sir" leads Kuwabara out of Koenma's office.
"The less people who know the details, the better," Koenma mutters more to himself than anyone, "So, like I said, it's an infiltration. You will be going to the Palace of Makai. There, the demon is building an army. You will train under him. Get as close as you can, and send all information to Mukuro. Hiei will be acting outside the walls as a messenger to relay the information between you and Mukuro. She will then relay it to me. This army, I assume, will need all of Makai's resources. Reikai's army is a backup just in case. I trust you and your judgment to tell you when to flee and stop the double agent act to fight openly on our side."
Yusuke double-blinks. "Fight? Like, a war or something? It's that serious?"
Koenma nods gravely. "I'm afraid it is, Yusuke. You, Kurama and Kuronue will be dispatched tomorrow. I suggest, Kurama, that you find a way to take on your full demon form and stay in it until further notice. You, being a famous thief, may have a hard time gaining their trust, along with Kuronue. However, your human form will make things worse. This demon has spies all over. It's not safe for you to be Shuichi Minamino in Makai. Now, Botan!"
The blue-haired, pink-eyed and pink-clad ferry girl entity of death came bouncing into the office, cheerful as always despite the situation.
"Botan, take them back to Ningenkai. Boys, I expect to see you early tomorrow. Don't pack anything. I'll be providing you with proper Makai garments and items tomorrow."
They all nod and follow Botan out of the office, down to the human world.
-End Chapter-
Hope you liked it. It's about half as long as the first chapter, but it was supposed to be mainly about the mission and stuff. We'll get into the infiltration and actual mission soon, don't worry; I won't draw it out too long! XD
