Who: (Fresh and clean) I feel rejuvenated, Torrin let's have another go before I… (sees Kurama) Oh Kurama… Hey. Oh um... Torrin and me were just uh... do you wanna join us we're gonna head back to my room…
Kurama: O.O (Walks away zombie like)
Who: And...Kurama? Hey wait, what's wrong? (Looks at Torrin) What did you do?
Torrin: I merely told the Princess that you and I had been enjoying one another's company.
Who: (Skeptically) Mmm-hmm. Anything else?
Torrin: Well, I suppose much could've been implied with what I said. But I can't be blamed for what goes through the minds of others.
Who: (Skeptically) Mmm-hmm. Well if you'll excuse me I've got a reputation to amend. Oh and yeah, I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho. (leaves shaking her head)

(A/N. Sorry for out of characterness and all around just utter suckiness of my fic. It's always good to apologize for things like that. )
Wormy
"Oh come on what the hell is that?" Said Yusuke not without a bit of disappointment. "I thought maybe I'd get to kick a little ass." ( A/N. Okay I figure I suck at this sort of thing but I'm gonna try. Damn action scenes always look cool in my head. I hope the words make for a good image in yours.)
"It appears to be," said Kurama looking quizzically at their opponent "A giant… earthworm." Said the red head with a hint of confusion in his voice. Upon, completing his statement Kurama furrowed his brow. And indeed that is what stood before the four spirit detectives. A lone worm demon, which was basically a giant earthworm with arms legs and fangs.
Lackluster indeed.
"We have to go through hell watching that guy and Gladumus sends us worms"
"Gladumus?" Said the demon with a voice almost as unpleasant as the sound of nails scraping across a chalkboard. Along with the undertones of a back firing car. Still there was a bit of confusion in the creature's voice. "I was sent by no one. I came of my own accord. I've come for the orb of Sumara give it to me or it will be your deaths."
"What are you gonna talk us to death? Because your voice is the only that's killing me." (A/N. Ah witty banter.) Stated Yusuke arrogantly.
"Hn this should be easy enough." Stated Hiei nonchalantly as he gripped the hilt of his katana.
"Prepare for your de…" The demon's words were cut short, when Hiei's katana very effectively sliced through the demon. (A/N. Stupid unintended pun.) The creature's jaw dropped down, as the two halves seemed to explode as they slipped apart.
"Pathetic." Said Hiei, having so quickly stifled the demon, the fire demon put away his weapon and the others relaxed. Not that any of them were really all that tense.
"Is he… Is he dead?" Kuwabara asked, looking toward Torrin. His voice displayed, that he was far more hopeful then he should've been, after all Torrin had been unconscious for quite a while. Then as if on cue Torrin gave a soft moan as he began to stir.
"My head." Grumbled Torrin, letting his eyes flutter open. The bat demon then slowly sat up. "Why always the head?" Torrin groused rubbing his head which was now doubly as sore as it had been.
"Nope." Said Yusuke stating the obvious as he answered Kuwabara's previously uttered question.
"Then I'll have the satisfaction of being able to kill him."
"No way shrimp. I'm killing him. You can have the leftovers."
"Oh yes I'm fine." Said Torrin rather coldly, as he rolled his eyes.
"That's good maybe you feel like talking now." Said Yusuke. Torrin looked pensively at the boy then only shook his head. Acting like an overbearing bodyguard Kuwabara grabbed Torrin by the vest that he wore, and hoisted the bat demon up.
"If your keeping secrets." said Kuwabara in his most intimidating voice. Torrin gave a disinterested yawn. The fleeting thought of chocking Torrin crossed through the carrot-top's mind, as he continued to hold him. Torrin let his eyes idly scan the area around himself. Mainly in an effort to tick off Kuwabara even more so.
"Hey are you listening to me?" Inquired Kuwabara sounding demanding, as he took note of Torrin's disinterested look.
"Not really." Stated Torrin wryly, as his eyes fell upon Hiei, then the subdued halves of the worm demon. Torrin gave somewhat of a double take. "That's not a worm demon." Said Torrin his voice sounding more cautious than was usual. "Tell me you did not just do what I think you did." demanded Torrin clearly talking to Hiei, who was still standing near his fallen foe. The four spirit detectives, weren't really certain as to why Torrin all so suddenly had become so alarmed. After all the demon had been slain, quite easily at that.
"I did away with the annoyance. Like I'd like to be able to do with you."
"You…" Torrin let out an annoyed groan, then he rather boldly broke out of Kuwabara's grip. Hiei looked at Torrin his face showing his aggravation at the moment. The two halves of the demon rose, and regenerated right behind the ireful Hiei, who was oblivious.
"Hiei look out!" Exclaimed the wide eyed Kurama, as he noticed the movements of the worm demon. The boy was slightly fearful since the demon was able to not only resurrect, and reconstruct itself, but now there were two of them. (A/N. I know that earthworms can't regenerate, and stuff. That's another type of worm. But hey I'm not trying to be a perfectionist.) The two demons now standing were ready to mount an assault.
The demons sucked in deep breaths their movements mirroring one another with their actions. For a moment the two demon resembled something like frogs. Long thin grotesquely deformed frogs, but still. Anyways, once the worm demons opened their mouths to expel the air. Two identical orange balls of demon energy issued forth form the mouths of the worm demons. (A/N. I suck at this. Stupid action scenes. Sorry if I suck did I already apologize.)
Hiei was able to dodge one of the blasts and disengage the other by cutting it in two. Though not without a bit of difficulty, being that he'd been taken by surprise. Hiei stumbled back toward the other four spirit detectives, and a rather smug looking Torrin. "A little lesson porcupine, never slice a worm demon in two." Hiei shot a dark glare in Torrin's direction. The two worm demons that stood in the now, very broken looking room, laughed at the spirit detectives. Mocking them, just by standing there as they did.
"If you think that I can be so easily, you are wrong." Stated the combined voices of the worm demons speaking in unison. "Now the one called Ravencroft, Torrin will surrender to us, and tell us the whereabouts of the orb of Sumara." Said the worm demon.
Torrin looked wryly at the demons. "Me…surrender to you. I hardly think that's likely." Torrin spoke with his ever arrogant air about him. Torrin's ever familiar smirk slipped onto his face.
"Then we shall capture you and get the information by force."
"A pipe dream, how sad." Said Torrin as a response. "If you believe I'm going to be captured by you. You're quite diluted."
The large obsidian like eyes of the worm demons narrowed. "That mouth of yours will get you and your friends in trouble. But enough banter." Stated the worm demons, then they prepared to attack again.
"Get down." Said a wary Yusuke, as the balls of demon energy blew past the boys.
"The attack of the demons aren't very strong." Said Kurama, the threat having passed.
"Neither are the demons themselves." Said Hiei dryly.
"Yusuke if you can…" Started Kurama, already formulating some sort of plan. Of course the boy's words were interrupted by the rather erratic actions of a brash Kuwabara. "I'll take care of that demon." Said Kuwabara. "No Kuwabara!" Exclaimed a perturbed Kurama, though his warning came too late to do any good, as his voice was drowned out by the sound of Kuwabara's battle cry.
Kuwabara was waving his spirit sword about feverously, slicing the two worm demons up as he did. When Kuwabara finished his onslaught, he was breathing heavy and his tired arm hung limply at his side.
"See I told you I'd take care of it." Said Kuwabara triumphantly as he pointed at himself with his thumb. The others just looked at Kuwabara as if he'd just sprouted a second head.
"Amazing, your even dumber than you than I thought you were." Stated Torrin, his eyes were still a bit wide eyed from shock. Kurama, shook his head, seeming very disappointed. Hiei just rolled his eyes knowingly. "Nice move dumbass." Said Yusuke sarcastically.
"What? I didn't slice it in half. I cut it into pieces."
"Oh yeah much dumber." Said Torrin under his breath. Kuwabara was still wearing an accomplished smile on his face. Hiei gave a look as if he were embarrassed to know Kuwabara at the moment, as did everyone else. Minus Torrin who was just surprised by the boy's lack of good judgment.
The sound of something stirring behind him quickly wiped the smile from Kuwbara's face. The sight was enough to leave the spirit detectives, and Torrin looking rather bleak. "Huh?" Said Kuwabara turning around slowly to investigate the slithering sound behind him. Kuwabara's eyes fell upon the sight of myriad worm demons. All now prepared to attack. Kuwabara swallowed hard, just as an innumerable quantity of the glowing orange balls of energy shot toward him
"Now you shall all suffer." Said the voices of the mass of worm demons in unison.
"Yusuke do you think you can make a spirit gun blast large enough to destroy all of them?" Inquired Kurama sounding a little uneasy.
"I can try." Said Yusuke somewhat uncertainly, although he did give a reassuring nod. Yusuke raised his finger and began focusing his energy. Hiei, and Kurama watched the boy warily knowing that if they tried to mount an offensive they'd only hinder their cause, and end up drawing even more unwanted attention. Even Torrin underneath his smug façade was a little anxious. "Spirit Gu…"
The actions of the spirit detective were impeded upon, when the mass of worm demons attacked. Kurama, Yusuke, Torrin and Hiei, were all struck by at least one of the blasts. Each one of them tried in vain to block or dodge the glowing ball of demon energy. Yet in the end each one of them were blown off their feet and sent careening back into the wall, behind them. After impact the bodies of the boys slipped down onto the floor.
Kurama Hiei and Torrin were left unconscious after the blow, yet the thicker skulled Yusuke was just barely hanging on as he fought against losing his own consciousness. Yusuke laid on the floor his head propped up against the wall, and his face awash with pain. The muscles in Yusuke's face spasmed most likely from the pain as he tried to focus on the worm demons, who were celebrating with triumphant laughter. Unfortunately the boy just couldn't focus and he was seeing double or at least he hoped he was.
"Damnit." Grumbled Yusuke quietly raising his hands one held with index finger extended, forming a pistol like look. The other hand clung tightly to the wrist of it's mate. The Yusuke's head began swimming as he tired to focus concentrating his energy.
The mass of worms demons were vaporized in a mass of energy just before Yusuke's body went limp and he lost consciousness.
"My head" Said Torrin with a marked note of indignation in his voice. It hadn't even been a full twelve hours and yet he'd already had his head cracked in about three times already. If current trends continued he'd create a new record for himself. Since the bat demon's skull didn't encompass the resilience, like that of Yusuke's Torrin felt the painful knots on his head pulsating away.
Letting his eyes focus, Torrin notice Hiei and Kurama helping Yusuke to his feet. None of the boys had been out that long in fact the dust from the attack that destroyed the worm demons was still settling. Despite, a few cuts and bruises and a little bit of mild head trauma everyone minus Kuwabara who was unaccounted for seemed alright. Of course Torrin was just happy to see that the worm demon was gone. He rose slowly holding his head as he did.
Kuwabara who after being attacked had smashed into a wall was still imprinted there. His body imbedded in a hole shaped much like an upside down star. The carrot-top let out a dry cough, then his body dislodged and slipped down headfirst onto the floor. "Ouch." Said the obviously injured Kuwabara.
"Great the baka's still alive." said Hiei sarcastically. "I was hoping to have one less irritation to deal with. That said the red eyes of the fire demon starred at Kuwabara mockingly.
"Yes." Said Torrin "It's a good thing that worm demons are so weak." Torrin eyed Kuwabara who was slowly sitting himself upright. "And what did the resident oaf learn today." Inquired Torrin in the candor of a grade school teacher.
"That I'd like to be able to kick your ass." Grumbled Kuwabara When everyone was standing, and could pretty much walk on their own the spirit detectives went into the rubble that had been a guest room. Torrin watched to boys with dissatisfactions he stood in front of the gaping hole which was now a portal to the outside.
"Well." Stated Torrin looking about still seeming quite unhappy. His voice drew attention of his four guardians. "That was pathetic. I'd be embarrassed if I were anyone of you. How such a irresponsible, irrational, no account waste such as yourself ever became a feared spirit detective boggles the mind. They don't make demons like they used to." Stated Torrin in a ver sardonic tone. Directing this statement to Yusuke.
"Hey shut the hell up, it's not like you did anything." Said Yusuke angrily still struggling to stand up straight, and yet trying to stumble to where Torrin stood.
"I shouldn't have to. Have you forgotten?" Torrin pointed toward Yusuke. "You're the one who's supposed to be protecting me." Torrin then pointed at himself. "At least that's what I was expecting when I subjected myself into the care to the prepubescent prince. And such a piss poor effort." Torrin shook his head, and turned away and gave a forlorn sigh. Kurama tried his best to restrain Yusuke who was flailing his arms all about in an effort to escape from the red head's grip and kill Torrin.
"How disappointing, I'm expected to enlist my aid to an imp, an oaf and, an incompetent, to help save themselves when they should be safeguarding me."
Yusuke's eye twitched and he fought even more aggressively against being restrained. After all Torrin had called him an incompetent, when being a spirit detective was all he was really good at. No way he would stand for that insult, plus Torrin just bugged the hell out of the spirit detective. "You didn't…even…do…anything." Said the frustrated Yusuke finally able to break away from Kurama. "If you think I'm just gonna stand hear and swallow the shit that's coming from your mouth you've got another thing coming. Insult me again and I'll…"
Torrin turned toward Yusuke and shook his head, a smug smirk on his lips. "You'll what?" Inquired the bat demon puffing out his chest. "You're not thinking about killing me are you? Or do you even care if Glady reaches his objective?" Torrin's smirk became a rather toothy grin.
"You know what maybe I don't" Said Yusuke, and in a swift and very unexpected fluid motion Yusuke's fist collided with Torrin's nose. Torrin was surprised to say the least, and his hand flew to his injured nose as the boy stumbled back a bit. "It'd make my life easier if I just killed you ass now." Said Yusuke holding his hand out as if he would actually attack with his spirit gun.
"But you wouldn't do that." Stated an unfamiliar female voice.
(A/N. I got carried away and the chapter probably sucked a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot. Sigh oh well if you read this far and enjoyed reading or just read thus far thank you. If you enjoyed it then your welcome and thank you. Hmm did I leave off with another cliff hanger)
