Golfing gone horribly wrong!
Chapter one: Let's go golfing!
It was a warm summer day, and the sun baked the ground. The park was no place to be because of all the people trying to make the most of the day, despite the heat. The docks bustled with activity. Even the quiet town home development had been busy and rather loud lately.
Yusuke and the others were sitting around outside Kurama's apartment, all wondering what on earth they were going to do. Kuwabara sat on the lowest step, head in his hands watching two little kids play in a little pool in their driveway.
"It's so hot." He muttered.
"No, really?" Yusuke shot. Kurama slumped in the chair on his porch, tiring of the two humans and their frequent arguments. Hiei leaned on the door of Kurama's apartment smugly.
"What are we going to do?" Kuwabara complained, "I'm bored."
"Well," Kurama offered. "You could take that mission Koenma was telling you about."
"No way am I going on some stupid mission, especially in this heat." Yusuke said, sitting on the porch and leaning on the railing.
"You could go do-"
"Don't say anything homework Kurama." Yusuke warned. Kurama fell silent.
"Oh, I know!" Kuwabara said, voice dripping with sarcasm. "Lets go golfing!"
"Oh! That sounds great Kuwabara!" Yusuke said, with just as much distain. "Let's go!"
"What kind of idiot's pastime is that?" Hiei asked harshly.
"It's a game where you try and hit a little hard ball into a hole with a golf club, in as few shots as you can." Kurama explained. "And actually," he said, sitting up. "That does sound like something good to do."
"You've got to be kidding." Yusuke said in disbelief. The fox demon shook his head and rose from his chair and began down the front walk, Kuwabara and Hiei following.
"Oh, joy." Yusuke said, reluctantly getting up, and following the other three down the street and into Tokyo.
They arrived at the golf course, to find it completely empty.
"Where is everyone?" Kuwabara asked.
"Else where, I suppose." Kurama answered.
"Hn."
The four of them proceeded to the booth, where Kurama paid for the four of them, and they headed off down a narrow hallway.
The hall seemed to go on forever. A continuous stretch of green carpet and elevator music.
Finally, the four of them reached the doors to the golf course. Yusuke threw open the doors, and gazed around the landscape.
They were standing on the teeing green, facing a wide expanse of bunkers and putting greens. There was an ocean to the side of them, and a few of the bunkers were shaped like crabs or dolphins and whatnot.
"How quaint." Kurama said, gazing around.
"Shiiiiiiii!" a voice screamed out to the right of them. The four of them looked towards the noise. On the teeing green a bit away, there was a little green dinosaur. It had a long red tongue and huge bright blue eyes. It was wearing orange boots, and a red saddle on it's back.
It watched as the golf ball it had hit, sailed off into the blue trailed by a rainbow.
"Yoshie!" it cheered happily.
The Rekai Tantei stared, baffled at it.
Next to the dinosaur was a man. He was short, and a little pudgy. He wore a red long sleeve shirt, and blue overalls. He had on brown shoes that clicked like tap shoes when he walked, and a red cap with an 'M' on it. He had a mustache and black hair.
"Mama-mia, Yoshie, that was-a- perfect!"
The thing called Yoshie smiled, and chirped.
"Um... yea." Yusuke said, obviously clueless.
The man and Yoshie turned at Yusuke's voice and stared at them. The four boys stared back. Yoshie pointed at them and screamed, if you can call it a scream anyway. It was more like a high-pitch yelp. With that the Yoshie darted off behind a palm tree.
The man in red disregarded Yoshie, and approached the four boys.
"Hello-a-there!" he greeted them cheerfully. A bit too cheerfully. "I'm-a-Mario. And, that's-a-Yoshie." He pointed at Yoshie, who was still cowering behind the tree.
"Um, hello." Kurama greeted Mario, polite as usual. "Pleased to meet you."
"Likewise." Mario said.
"Yes, well, that is Yusuke, Kuwabara and Hiei." The fox demon pointed to each of them in turn. "And I'm Kurama."
"I see." Mario said.
Suddenly, there was a flash, a bang, and a gust of wind and a tall demon with flowing sliver colored hair, fox ears and a tail, stood before them.
Kurama was silent a moment, wondering how this demon had managed to get here.
"And, uh... this is Youko." He stuttered.
(A/n: wai! Youko-kun!)
Youko said nothing. Kurama sighed, and looked Youko in the eye.
"Why are you here?" he hissed. "I didn't pay for you."
"This is all you're worried about?" Youko asked sarcastically. Kurama sighed, defeated.
"I wanna play though." Youko pleaded. (hard to imagine, hai?)
"Fine." Kurama finally agreed. "I have an extra golf ball, you can use that."
(Here I would have loved to insert Youko happily jumping up and down, but I won't because he's my favorite.)
Youko grinned, and rejoined the conversation.
Mario was talking to Yusuke about plumbing. Yusuke didn't seem to be listening, but Mario took no notice of it, and blabbed on.
Suddenly, there was a noise from behind the strange little group, and three more people and a giant monkey walked towards them. Mario waved.

Who could these new comers be? How will Youko do golfing? How will Yoshie react to the giant monkey? All these questions and more will be answered in the next chapter!
