Hello peoples! - Yay, chapter three of my now named "Crimson V." story. Well, I got seven reviews now, so uhh, thanks to my friend Joey lover and to my original reviewers, Neh Himura, Yami-Aj Yu-Yu-InuCaptor, and SakiraFoxDemon. Umm, well lets see, any way, I'm going to say that my friend Dragon Slayer122191 or Elizabeth, and Yami-Aj Yu-Yu-InuCaptor or AJ shall be in my ficcy. Elizabeth, shall be the lady form the last chapter who drove out of the facility, and AJ shall be AJ from her ficcy, through the whole fic (note; this means that AJ shall be in the fic throughout the whole fic, but Elizabeth shall only be in a little bit for reasons beyond me.) If you wanna know what she looks like (although I'm putting in a description), check out her fic, 'fire, foxes, and ningens'. Any who, that's all I'm going to say besides the fact that I'm in the story myself, As Kurama's wife, and that we live in our own Apartment. Oh and I'm fourteen in this fic, instead of thirteen which means this is one year later. (Oh and don't get too mad, I just can't see it without myself anymore. I'm a big weirdo.) Ok well that's all from the annoying me. Oh and for those who don't know. I'm Ariel. - Oh yeah, and I forgot, I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho, AJ, Elizabeth, or Kaiba and his corporation. I do however, own this idea and my character(which may come up in friends fics as well.) This shall be considered throughout the whole fic incase I forget.

(Ok neither the squiggle nor the lower dashy thingy works anymore so I will use-- 'regular dashes', hope it works.)

Chapter 3- The New Case (Oh and by the way, this chapter is going to be longer then the other ones so far)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was as dark, muggy, cloudy, rainy day in Tokyo, Japan as cars continuously drove up and down the streets, while people walked on the side walks. The deep mist arising from the puddles over came many of the passer - buyers, although none seem to care. All that mattered was to get to where they were going, among all of the gray.

"Why exactly are all these people still outside, despite the rain?" Botan questioned as she flew above the gray, gloomy city below. Cars continued to flow, although the traffic began to build up as rush hour came upon them. It was now 3:00 o'clock as Botan continued to fly over the city, after watching Koenma yell at George for a period of time. She giggled at the memory as she flew down to her first stop of the spirit detective's house.

She flew up to the window, waiting to see if someone would come to open it. After waiting for a couple of minutes, she realized that Yusuke was still asleep and proceeded to tap on the window, still getting no reply. She sighed as she then flew down to the ground, after checking to see if there were any humans around, finding none and proceeded to do so. She then hopped off of her oar is she put out her hand to materialize it until further use. Botan then proceeded to walk inside the building to get Yusuke the old fashion way.

Yusuke was awakened buy a banging sound as he fell out of bed, startled by the new, loud, noise. He looked around for a moment to see what it was. Realizing that it wasn't in his room, he jumped back in bed as he thought of it as something 'not-important' if it was not in his current facility. After he dozed off, the loud banging noise was heard again and Yusuke angrily, got out of bed and walked to his door, dragging his blanket along behind him as it stayed wrapped around his body.

Botan, sat outside of Yusuke's door angrily as once again, no one answered her calls. She, lifted her hand, ready to bang on the door as hard as possible when it opened, revealing the spirit detective. Instantly, Botan could feel her cheeks fill with a rosy, red color as she stared at the tired Yusuke. His normally slicked back, black hair was now a jumble of mess as his bangs covered his half lidded, ticked, eyes. This was a normal state to see Yusuke in for Botan though. What surprised her, was the fact that instead of wearing his blue, rubber duck pajamas with the matching slippers, he was now wearing nothing but a pair of navy blue boxers, partially covered by a blanket dragging along behind him. Botan covered her eyes as Yusuke continued to scratch his head, leading down to his lower areas.

"So Botan, what do you want? I was sleeping you know." he said as he looked at her with his half lidded brown eyes. Botan looked at him a bit cocky as she replied to his lazy-ness. "Actually, Yusuke, I have realized that." She then pointed at him to show how he was dressed. He looked at himself for a few seconds and then looked back up at Botan. "So" She rolled her eyes as she pushed Yusuke back into his apartment, staying out in the hall as she yelled for him to get dressed. After about five minutes, he came back out. He was startled when Botan then pushed him all the way back to outside of the building. "Hey, what's up Botan!" He yelled a bit freaked out by her pushy attitude. She looked at him after looking around to see if there were any humans around. "We have a new case Yusuke. We need to go get every one." she told him as he grew angry by the news. "Another mission. I don't want.." "It doesn't matter if you want to go on a mission or not, just help me get whoever you can and meat up in the park by the portal to spirit world!" she yelled at him. Yusuke shook his head quickly as his fear of Botan hitting him with her oar got to him. "Oh and go get AJ. We may need her." she said as Yusuke nodded. They then both ran off to get the other members of the group.

--------with Yusuke--------

After running to go get Kuwabara, who was awoken as well and proved to be wearing his favorite, green teddy bear PJs, Yusuke and the 'great' Kazuma Kuwabara went of to go find a third member of the group. They walked for a long time, deciding not to catch a cab or a bus for the fact that neither had money, and were forced to be soaked in the rain. After walking half way across the city, the reached upon their destination. They could see, Shiori's house, and they waved to her as they watched her water the front garden. They then passed by onto the next, much larger house. They walked up to the door and knocked on it, waiting to see what oddness lied ahead.

Both, Kuwabara and Yusuke sat there as they waited. They knocked on the door again and after they did, they heard a few crashing noises, like the noise of cups and things falling down. Then the door opened, revealing a tall, slim, red-headed boy. He rubbed his head a bit as he opened on blue eye. He was a pretty boy, envied by a lot of guys who saw him, and loved by all the girls. His name, was Touya. "Hey, Touya." Yusuke said as he walked in through the door, followed by Kuwabara. "Hey you two." He said back as he showed the two into the metal, blinding kitchen. He then started to pick up the bowls that was the crashing noise. "If your looking for AJ, she's in her room." He said knowing that was why the both of them were there. They then walked off, out of the kitchen.

"Man, that room is blinding." Yusuke said as Kuwabara rubbed his eyes. They then started up the stairs, realizing how fully big the house was and went down a hall to another door. They knocked on it, awaiting outside for AJ to answer. As they did, a creature that looked like a cross between a cat and a fox literally, walked through the door. It was silver with three long, blacked, striped tails. It looked up at Yusuke and Kuwabara with it's glacial blue eyes for a while, and than began to clean itself with its black, mitten like paws. Then the door opened. A girl, a little shorter than Hiei looked up at them with her green eyes. She was wearing a green and blue Jersey with the number one on it, along with some kaki cargo pants. As she smiled at Yusuke and Kuwabara, she pulled her waist long, midnight blue hair behind her ears with her hands, that were covered with blue finger-less gloves, revealing two earrings that were in her ear, as did the other one.

"Hey Yusuke, what are you doing at my house with the town idiot?" AJ, asked as she and Yusuke laughed annoyingly loud at Kuwabara's new name. They soon stopped and AJ welcomed the both of them into her room. The room was a sky blue color with some stars of different shades of blue painted along with it on the walls. The room was very large, like two joined in one. In the room, there was a window on one wall, and a book case on another wall, opposite of a king sized bed. As well, there was a big screen TV, with a DVD player, sound system, laptop, and a game cube. Along with all of that, there were some crimson cushions and a neon blow up chair, which currently had Hiei on it, reading a large book from AJ's book shelf. Yusuke looked at him for a while until he looked up from his current reading. "What are you doing here detective?" he asked as the cat like creature jumped on his lap. "I should be asking you that." Yusuke said as he watched Kuwabara played Soul Calibur 2 against AJ on her game cube.

"Hey, AJ, we have something to tell you." Yusuke said as he pulled Kuwabara up from the game, making the tall red head groan. "What?" she replied as she picked up the cat like figure from Hiei's lap. "Come her Moonlight" she said as it jumped on her shoulder. "Well, we have a new mission and we have to gather up everyone. Heh, good thing Hiei's here." Yusuke said. Hiei sat up once he heard what the detective said. "What's the mission because if it's something easy, I'm not going to do it." he said, giving Yusuke a deep glare from his ruby red eyes. Yusuke glared back at him for a while, only to crumble under the pressure of Hiei's. "Uh, well......we don't really know what the mission is." he said laughing nervously as Hiei continued to stare at him. Kuwabara then stood up to explain further, although ruining it on the way. "Yeah shorty, Yusuke told me that Botan told him to gather everyone so stop complaining." he said making Hiei angry at him. "Don't you EVER DARE to call me shorty." he said, making Kuwabara shake a bit.

Seeing all of this, AJ laughed, making all three of the boys look up at her. "You guys are so retarded. Lets just get going so we can get on with the mission." she said a bit perky. Hiei looked at her in disgust as the other two boys nodded. "Stupid snickers make her to happy." Hiei said as they all left the room through AJ's window. They did have to wait for Kuwabara though, since he was afraid to hurt himself. They then all ran to go find Botan and the others. Hiei jumping from tree to tree while Yusuke, AJ, and Kuwabara ran down the sidewalk.

-------- Back with Botan--------

Botan had been walking around aimlessly among the humans for a while now, looking for one certain apartment. She shook her head for a while and then looked down at a piece of paper. Kurama had written it, for when he and Ariel, his wife, () had moved out of Shiori's house and into their own apartment. It was very nice hand writing and Botan could read it easily.

'Dear Botan,

We have moved into a new apartment. If you ever need to find us, were in the apartment number 125 of the Kaze; wind apartments: 1225 on Kazumoto street in Tokyo. Hope you can find it easily.

Kurama'

(A.N.-I just made up the Kazumoto street thingy, and Kaze means wind, I think. ) She could understand his letter completely, what she couldn't figure out was exactly where it was. On Kazumoto street, there were more than 500 apartments. She couldn't believe it. Right in the middle of Tokyo too. She walked around a bit more, looking at all of the apartments, each building with it's own set of numbers. 1104, 1239, 1327, it just went on and on, and frankly, Botan was getting a headache. She still continued to look around though, as she found the right trail. 1221, 1222, 1223, 1224, and finally, 1225.

She sighed a sigh of relief as she went into the building. She then went up the stares, not bothering to wait for the elevator and went up to room 125. Botan fixed her self up, pushing the door bell in the process, and then smiled, waiting for someone to answer the door, praying that whoever was in there wasn't asleep. She smiled a relieved smile as the door opened, revealing a girl. She was about 5' tall from head to toe. She had dark brown, hair that was about two inches past her shoulders. She was wearing a pink dress, something rare for her to wear, and had an apron over it. She then smiled sweetly at Botan, closing her dark brown eyes as she let her in.

"So Botan, what how long did it take you to find our apartment?" the girl asked her as she poured a cup of tea for Botan, and some milk for herself. "Well Ariel, it took me about and hour. Why did and Kurama by this place in the first place anyway?" She asked as she took a sip of her tea. "Well you know, so we wouldn't be bothering Shiori so much. Of course if you mean in this area, it was because the rooms were cheap." She smiled as both of them laughed. They then calmed down as Ariel began to talk. " You know though, I really wished we would have bought a house. I would feel a lot more like a wife if I was in a more cozier environment." Botan laughed for a moment. "I can't believe you think that way. Your only fourteen you know." Ariel smiled back at her. "Yes, but I feel at least 25 on the inside, being married to such a high ranking man and all." They both laughed again, but Botan stopped short. "Say, where is Kurama anyway?" she asked. Ariel looked up at her a bit shocked, but smiling afterwards. "He's at work of course. I thought you knew that." Botan smiled at her and then stood up. "Well, we better get going then." she said making Ariel a bit confused. "Going for what?" "To get Kurama of Course." "Why?" Ariel asked Botan, making her smile a bit embarrassed. "Oh I forgot to tell you. We have another mission to go on." she said as Ariel looked at her. "Oh . Well let me go change and we can get him then." she said as she walked off. After a little while, she came back out in a baggy shirt and some Kaki pants. As well, she carried one of Kurama's gis (you know the things he wears during fights). "Ok well lets go. Oh but we have to take a bus. Kurama has the only car." She said as Botan nodded and they walked off out of the building.

--------Yusuke--------

Yusuke, AJ, and Kuwabara had been walking around for a long time now, while Hiei jumped from tree to tree. They were all tired so they decided to take a rest on the side of the road. Yusuke sat there, legs spread out, as did Kuwabara, while Aj and Hiei both sat in a tree. "Damn, were the hell are we?" Yusuke asked as he looked around. He then stopped as he saw some familiar faces. "Hey Botan! Ariel!" he yelled as he got up and ran to them. Kuwabara did the same, and the other two followed, jumping from tree to tree and then landing next to them.

"Hey, what are you guys doing here? We're supposed to meet up at the park." AJ said as she and Ariel smiled at each other. "Well," Ariel said as she looked around. "We're going to go get Kurama at his work. You guys wanna come?" she asked as Yusuke, Kuwabara, and AJ shook their heads for a yes, while Hiei only looked at them, giving a 'hn' in reply. "Ok well lets get going." Botan said all cheery as the bus drove by, picking them all up.

-------Somewhere with Kurama--------

Kurama sat at his desk as he typed some things on his computer. He was in a very large office, being the head of his company and all. It was a plain gray, with a few plants and a large window, over shadowing the city from behind his desk. Kurama was wearing a gray suit as well, mixed with a dark red tie. He sighed as he continued to type on his computer. All he had to do was type in business things like how much income they were making and doing the taxes and other such things. Just then, his assistant called in on the intercom.

'Mr. Minamino, there's a group here to see you.'

Kurama sighed and angry sigh as he pushed a button on the receiving end of the intercom to talk.

"If it's Kaiba's goons, tell them that he and I have already made an agreement so they can go home." he said back a bit angry. 'Those men never leave.' he thought to himself as his assistant ringed in again.

'Um, their not Kaiba's men sir. It's your wife and a few other people.' she said.

Kurama went wide eyed, and then smiled. He knew what would be coming for him and he was glad about it.

"Send them in" he said back.

The doors then opened as Ariel and the others walked in. "Thanks Saria." Ariel said waving to Kurama's assistant. "Your welcome." she said back as she shut the door behind them. Kurama stood up as he smiled. "Hi honey how are you...." "I can't believe you thought I was one of Kaiba's goons. He is such a bastard Kurama. Why do you even talk to him." Ariel said leaving Kurama hanging. "It's all business dear, just business." he said laughing nervously. Sometimes Ariel can be a bit scary to him. "Well anyway. What are all of you doing here. Wait, don't answer that. We have another case to solve don't we?" Kurama asked surprising everyone. "Of course fox. Why else would we come here to this ningen filled place." Hiei said as he messed around with one of Kurama's plants. "Ohhh.....you guys won't come here just to see me." he said, joking around just to annoy Hiei and making everyone else laugh.

"Well we need to get going." Botan said as she pushed Ariel forward to give Kurama his gi. She gave him his gi and he smiled at him. "Well, I'll change in one of the bathrooms and then we can go." Kurama said as he walked out of his office doors. He then walked over to Saria's desk. She then looked up at him and smiled. "Going on another case Mr. Minamino." she said surprising everyone but Kurama and Ariel. "Of course." he said as he waved to her and she then went back to what she was doing. Yusuke then ran up to him and pulled his shoulder, making him spin around. "She knows what we're doing?!" Kurama yelled. "Uh well, not exactly. She just thinks its things that Ariel and I do for fun. You know like go out and other such things." he said as he winked, making Ariel laugh. "Eww, didn't need to know that." AJ said as she walked up to them. "Can we just go?" she asked. "Just wait for me to change and we can go." Kurama said as he walked into a nearby bathroom. A few minuets later, he came out in his gi and he threw his suit into his office. "Ok lets go." Kuwabara said and they all ran off, well went on to an elevator, and left the building to head for the park, and the portal to makai to learn about their new case.
