Chapter Eight: House Call
--
It was early morning 7 weeks later when the phone rang at the Urameshi's. Yusuke sleeply picked it up. "H-hello." He yawned. It was Botan. "Botan it's a little early making house calls isn't it."
"Don't start with me Yusuke." She tempered. "Koenma would like to see you and the others in his office before noon. I'll be at Genkai's Temple around 10:30 or so, ok. Bye." She hung up. Yawning again he put the phone on the reciever and laid back down.
My how things have changed. Before he could hardly say no to a battle, but now...now things were completely different. He was married, he had a son. Yusuke smiling to himself thinking on how he would have never saw himself in this situation.

"Took you all long enough." Botan stated as the four entered the room.
Yusuke looked at her. "Well unlike you some of us actually have families Botan."
She looked at him and thought. "Well that's true." Not hesitating she opened a portal. "We don't have much time so lets hurry."

Botan walked across an open field, leaves crunching under her feet. The other four would meet her soon. Hopefully they wouldn't get too lost.
"Botan." Yumi called from the Tachi house. "I'm glad you could make it before it snowed." She looked around. "Where are the others?"
Botan walked up to her. "Wow this is a nice little place. The others? Oh they'll be here in a few."
Yumi led Botan in the house. Botan sniffed. "Smells good."
"Thanks. I've been cooking and stuff."
Botan took a seat at the table. "So where's Rin and Tara?"
Yumi beamed. "Well.." She pointed out the kitchen window. "They kind of fell asleep, all three of them."
Botan was confused and walked over to where Yumi was pointing to. "Three..." But she soon realized what Yumi had meant. There on the hamack laid Rin, Tara, and a little bundle with only fox ears showing. "Aww how cute."

A knock at the door stopped the talked from inside the house.
Rin went to answer it. "Yusuke! Guys! What are you doing here? It's pretty cold outside." Yusuke gave him a 'no duh' look and Rin just moved aside for them to enter.
"We came to get this stared." Yusuke said taking off his coat.
Rin shut the door. "I'm sorry you had to come out here in this cold."
"No problem. It's colder in the human world then it is here." Kurama spoke.
"Of course, of course. Well let me go get Tara. Make yourselves at home. Take a look around. Botan, Yumi, I'll be back." He went up stairs.
The guys just sort of stood there. Yumi and Botan looked at them. Yumi talked first. "He said make yourselves at home. Take a look around. Tara has good pictures and stuff."
Kurama thought it would be nice to take the opportunity to look around and done so. Going in a room he found lots of pictures. Some were out for display others were in a case. One in perticular caught his attention. It was of three bat demons and one looked quiet familar, like Kuronue. The clearing of someone's throat brought him to reality and he went back to the others.
"Ok." Tara began. "Let's get this started. There are two teams of seven each and some back ups just in case. Each member can decide on who they want to fight. If it comes to a draw then they can roll for a fight and stuff."
"Good." Yusuke said. "Then I can fight the head of all this."
Tara looked at him. "No Yusuke. Captains are to fight eachother. He planned it that way." Saddness entered her voice. "I'm thankfull that you have decided to join us. I promise no one will get hurt..to much. Besides it won't be that bad of a fight. You'll be back with your families soon."
"What's the way you win?" Kurama asked questionally.
"Beat your opponent and what ever team has the highest won matches wins." Rin explained.
"When do we leave?" It was Hiei's turn to speak.
"In two weeks."
