Yusuke sat opposite his bruised orange-haired teammate, who had been moaning nonstop for an hour. "Quit complaining, already," the Detective said for the twentieth time. "It's not my fault you needed a good pounding so my words finally registered in your brain." "Yeah, but you didn't have to hit me so hard," Kuwabara groaned.
"And this is your teammate?" inquired a cold voice. Kuwabara jumped clear out of his skin, and Yusuke jumped pretty high himself. "Who the heck..." Yusuke turned and came face to face with the human form of Jerin. "Oh, Nature Boy, it's only you. Don't do that!"
Jerin snorted. "Yes, well, it's not my fault you were not on your guard." "I didn't think I'd need to be on my guard at the park!" the Spirit Detective yelled.
"One should always be on guard, wary, alert. Never let your guard down, not even in the safety of your own home. Even there, the walls have ears."
Yusuke punched his fist into his palm. "Yeah, I'll say the walls have ears," he muttered. "Um, you mind tellin' me just who the heck this is?" asked Kuwabara. "Sorry, buddy. This is Jerin, otherwise known as Nature Boy. Nature Boy, meet Kuwabara, otherwise known by Hiei as the clumsy oaf."
The demon hunter looked Kuwabara over and rolled his eyes at the dopey look on the boy's face. "It seems I've had to resort to this repressive human form for your sake yet again," Jerin said. "Don't waste my time. We can talk later." He glanced around, making sure the area was clear of humans. "We can go now."
"Repressive...human...what?!" Kuwabara asked, but the black haired demon hunter grabbed his wrist and Yusuke's. With a yelp of fear from Kuwabara, they were gone in a swirl of wind and leaves.

"I think I be needin' ta rest now," Jin murmured as his enormous wind bird settled on the ground. Exhausted, he started to slide off its back. The eagle gently picked its master off its shoulders with its beak and set him on the grass.
"Thanks, Kiya," Jin said weakly, using the name he had chosen for his eagle. He was surprised at how much energy this attack drained from his body. This was the first time he had ever used it to its fullest extent, keeping his work on mastering it a secret even from Touya.
The wind bird, Kiya, nuzzled him softly with her head, as though she was worried about her master. "I think I'll be all righ', no need ta worry. I jus' need to rest is all," Jin assured her as he stroked her head affectionately. Kiya hummed deep in her throat with pleasure. "Until next time, me friend."
Kiya closed her eyes and slowly disappeared, the wind blowing gently around Jin until it died. Then the Wind Master settled into a restful slumber.
