(Still in hiding)
Who: (writing in a diary) Minuet 12 of my annexation, I'm cold and hungry, and unsure of how much longer I can expect to survive like this. So far Hiei and Koenma have not been able to locate me. But well lets face it Hiei's got his jagan and Koenma's got all surveillance stuff. How long can I actually stay hidden.
Koenma: Oh, not long.
Who: (gets out from under the desk.) Hiei Koenma how nice to see you. (drops to knees) Please don't kill me I'm young yet. I still haven't tasted anchovies, or had my first kiss. And I still don't own Yu Yu Hakusho.
Hiei: (Rolls eyes)

(A/N. Sorry for any out of characterness or just suckiness of the story. Oh have you noticed how I take creative license with words at times I'm such a free spirit. No but seriously thanks for reading please enjoy.
Yusuke and Kurama, were pushing a reluctant Kuwabara down the hall of Pursula's illustrious toward her room. It had taken some time but they were able to con one of the ogres that drifted about the building into telling them where Pursula could be found at night. The creature had warned them that it was foolish to awaken the madame during her beauty sleep, and that to do so would be like waking a sleeping lion. The boys however persisted.
"It's a matter of true love." Said Kurama in a rather joking manner, that had at the time sent Yusuke rolling with laughter, while it just made Kuwabara sick. "It wasn't as if we lied" The red head then stated. "As you do truly love Yukina." Kuwabara was only able to give a sickly nod at the time, but now, all bets were off and the boy seemed resolute in his decision not to go along with the ruse Kurama had come up with. That brings us back to Yusuke and Kurama pushing Kuwabara down the hallway.
"No way guys I don't wanna." Kuwabara struggled to get past Yusuke and Kurama. Sadly, all his efforts were going to waste. "I don't wanna do this anymore you guys. Why can't you do it Kurama."
Kurama's hold on Kuwabara became lax, as displeasing images drifted through his mind, luckily he was able to dispel those visions quite quickly. "That wouldn't work Kuwabara, as Pursula only seems to have eyes for you." Kurama could not help but give a relived smile thankful for the fact that the woman was only enamored with Kuwabara.
"Stop crying you baby, besides you already agreed you can't back out now." Said Yusuke harshly continuing to tug Kuwabara. The boy fought like someone destined for the gallows might do.
"Bet you wouldn't do it if you had to, would you Urameshi."
Once again Yusuke's face twisted with the displeasing thought of try seduce the woman who seemed more like a mummy from a horror movie than a living creature. "That's really not the question now is it. Besides I have a girlfriend. Keiko would get pissed if I flirted with another woman. Even if she is a dried up old prune." Yusuke mumbled that last sentence under his breath.
"Well I'm taken too, doesn't that count for anything Yukina is my girlfriend." Kuwabara tried to make a last few pleas as the large golden door of Pursula's room drew ever closer.
"Does she know that?" Yusuke asked making Kuwabara glare at him. The carrot top looked toward the door and tried to dig his heels into the ground. The well polished floor however, did not help Kuwabara offer the resistance that he hoped for.
"Come on guys what do I gotta do to make you reconsider?" Said Kuwabara he now sounded very, very desperate. "How 'bout it Urameshi I'll do you homework for the rest of the school year."
"What the hell for?" Came Yusuke's response. "I'm already failing I don't need you makin' it worse with the lame ass grades you'll be getting."
Kuwabara looked desperately at Kurama. "Hey Kurama if you don't make me do this, I'll get you a date with my sister. She always said she thought you were cute. What do you say?"
"As flattering as that is Kuwabara, this is far more important. I doubt it will be bad as you seem to think in any case."
"Buh… Buh… She called me Sweetheart. And she smells like Eikichi's litter box." Kuwabara continued to wrestle his way out of Yusuke, and Kurama's grasp but to no avail. Finally the boy just sank to the ground and pleaded as tears welled up in his eyes, as his two companions stood in front of the dreaded door.
"Please you guys, I'll do anything. I'll be your slave just lets go back now." Kuwabara, still on his knees, tugged on Kurama's leg as he continued to plead. Kurama looked embarrassed as Kuwabara continued begging, as if pleading for his life.
"Come on you guys, I just want my first kiss to be enjoyable."
"It hurts to see him like this doesn't it?" Said Yusuke to Kurama. Kurama provided a rather jerky nod.
"Okay time to get this over with." Said Yusuke then very unexpectedly Yusuke began to beat upon Pursula's door, loudly. Both Kuwabara, and Kurama could only stare blankly as they watched Yusuke.
"Yusuke you could wake the dead like that." Said Kurama, finally able to speak. Kuwabara just stayed on his knees staring at the door as if someone had just signed his death warrant.
"Too much?" Said Yusuke in a innocent tone, though his face displayed a very devious grin. Kurama shook his head, but wore a soft smile. Rather unexpectedly came loud thunderous footsteps from beyond the door.
"Urameshi I think you made her mad." Said Kuwabara who was now standing. Yusuke did not respond to the carrot top. Kuwabara looked toward where Yusuke had stood, just in front of the door, but the boy was gone. Kuwabara's head quickly snapped toward Kurama's direction, but he too was gone.
"Urameshi, Kurama where'd you guys g…" The door to Pursula's room flew open violently. For a moment, Kuwabara could only look into the blackness beyond Pursula's open door, looking much like a deer caught in the headlights, waiting. Then, without so much as a warning the most hideous of all faces came out, it was green, and flames danced all about the sided of it and even flashed angrily in the face's eyes, huge fangs flashed; the most evil demonic voice rumbled from the monsters mouth.
"Who the dead man that disturbs me while I'm trying to get my beauty sleep!"
Kuwabara fell backwards onto the floor, his heart threatening to jump out of his chest. The boy wore a mask of fear on his face, and his face had become ashen and pale. Kuwabara looked up at the beast in the doorway trying his best just to catch his breath.
"Oh, it's you." Pursula smiled at Kuwabara, who looked like a frightened cat at the moment. Then, as if realizing that she wasn't decent, Pursula quickly retreated back into her room. Within less then two seconds she was outside of her room in a slinky piece of lingerie, that would make anyone gag, or wish they were blind. Right now Kuwabara was cursing his sight, and Yusuke and Kurama for putting him up to this.
"So." Pursula batted her eyelashes in an attempt at being seductive, which only made Kuwabara cringe. "What brings you here so late, Sweety"
"Um… Uh…well." Kuwabara stumbled over his words trying to think of what he could say.
"Don't worry." Then said Pursula, she gave a come hither smile that would make any man want to start heading for the hills. "You don't need to say a word." Kuwabara felt Pursula press her bony finger against his lips, and he looked like he was ready to lose it completely. "I know you felt it and you couldn't stay away. Don't be afraid it's just love."
"No that isn't it." Kuwabara quickly interjected. "Me and the guys we really need to know where that chalice thingy is. Cause…um we need it."
"You didn't just come here to talk business. Not when I know that you can feel the sparks between us. Amour toujour amour, and you love me n'est pas?" As she spoke Pursula lead Kuwabara past her bedroom door. Less than a minuet after disappearing into the darkness of Purusla's room Kuwabara shot back out like a bat out of hell. He looked even more pale then he head when Pursula had poked her head out of the room.
"Sweetheart lets not deny what we both feel." Came Purula's voice.
Not far down the hall, but at a safe enough distance Kurama and Yusuke watched Kuwabara's predicament. Where Yusuke laughed to the point that it pained him. Kurama looked sympathetically toward Kuwabara.
"Perhaps we should help Kuwabara out Yusuke."
"Hold on just a little bit longer." Yusuke struggled to say through his painful bout of laughter.
Finally after much heartache, Kuwabara, and the others were actually able to convince Pursula to show them the chalice. Just so they could see that it was well guarded. Kurama was trying his best to help Kuwabara cope after he was forced to do the one thing he hadn't wanted to do. Both he and Yusuke were in tears, Kuwabara because he had to kiss Pursula, even if it was on the cheek the boy was still disgusted; Yusuke because his laughter brought him to tears.
Yusuke at the moment was still laughing. He had laughed through Kuwabara's vow for revenge and continued to laugh up until they reached the point where the chalice was suppose to be safely hidden.
Of course everyone was in for a surprise when they reached to secret treasure vaults of the Adder's Palace. All the guards there had be slain, and a path of destruction was cut all the way into the room of the chalice.
"It's gone how can this be?" Pursula lamented, just before she turned her angry eyes to the spirit detectives. "Weren't there four of you here before."
The three spirit detectives had not realized that they were short a member at the time but now will it was all too evident.
"Hey." Said Kuwabara as if realizing it for the first time "Where is the shrimp?"
