.....................
"I've been abducted by aliens and taken into a whole other world!" Kuwabara screamed as soon as his feet touched solid ground.
"No, Kuwabara. We are in another world, but it's not run by aliens," Yusuke said.
"Aliens?" questioned Jerin.
"Yeah, aliens. Little green people that run around shooting stuff with blasters and disintegrating normal people. They fly around the universe in spaceships," Yusuke said, smirking at the fact that Jerin had no clue what an extraterrestrial was.
"And, these creatures, these...aliens...they actually exist?" the demon hunter asked, thoroughly confused.
Yusuke laughed. "I guess you could say that. Loads of people in Human World say they've seen them. Some people say they're trying to take over the world. But fortunately they haven't found out about Spirit World and Demon World just yet. Or maybe they have, and they're just waiting until the perfect moment to strike."
Jerin narrowed his eyes. "If they do attempt to conquer this world, they will not prevail."
"I don't know about that, Nature Boy. They've got weapons that can destroy entire countries with a push of a button, and their spaceships are bigger then half this forest!" Yusuke said. He took great pleasure in the slight shimmer of fear that reflected in the demon hunter's eyes.
"Don't believe him. He's just making it up."
Jerin swung around, wooden katana in hand, ready to attack. "Korio. It's only you."
The demon hunter sheathed his katana and walked over to his friend. "Where is Ioe?"
"He'll be here in a minute," the Master Detective answered. "He had to make sure Kir wasn't following him again."
Jerin rolled his eyes. "That boy is a pest."
"I know. But I admire his courage and strong will. Hello there," Korio said, eyeing Yusuke's companion. "Who are you?"
Kuwabara stared at him. "Earth to Kuwabara," Yusuke said, waving his hand in front of his teammate's eyes.
The orange haired boy snapped out of it. "My name's Kazuma Kuwabara! Who are you?"
Korio laughed. "My name is Korio. I'm a Spirit Detective, Level Five, Rank of Master."
Kuwabara narrowed his eyes. "Spirit Detective, level something, rank of what?" he mumbled. "Wait. There's more than one Spirit Detective?!"
"Don't tell me we have another incompetent on our hands," Jerin growled.
"Hey! Shut your mouth, Shrimp!" Kuwabara yelled automatically.
"Sorry, he says that whenever he hears the word incompetent directed toward him," Yusuke covered. "Because usually Hiei is the one saying it."
Jerin snorted. "I can see why."
Korio eyed his partner. "Why haven't you taken your demon form?" he asked casually.
"I don't trust him," Jerin answered.
"You don't trust anybody," Yusuke said.
"Demon form?" asked Kuwabara.
"Yusuke has a point," Korio said.
"Fine. But I still don't trust him," Jerin answered.
"You don't have to," Yusuke said.
"Demon form?" Kuwabara questioned.
The demon hunter threw a look of disgust at the orange-haired boy and slowly transformed into his true Sparian form, letting Kuwabara see every part of his transformation, especially the claws and fangs.
Kuwabara's eyes grew wide and he backed away. "You said I wasn't abducted by aliens!" he yelled.
"He's not an alien. He's a demon," Korio said. "A Sparian."
"A Spari-what?"
"Never mind," Yusuke said. "I'l tell ya later."
"What did I miss?" asked a cheerful voice. Kuwabara and Yusuke jumped, while Jerin's hand flew to the hilt of his katana.
"Come on, Ioe, you have to stop doing that. You almost scared our allies half to death," Korio said.
"Sorry," said the voice, and the owner of the voice stepped into the clearing.
It was a male demon with green skin and gray eyes. His ears curved upward slightly and were pointed. His hair, which hung to below his shoulders, was a light blue with the exception of a few dark blue bangs. He wore light, loose fitting, silvery-blue clothing. Actually it reminded Yusuke of something out of a pirate movie. The sleeves of the shirt were long and baggy, as were the pants. Over the shirt, the creature wore a dark blue vest, fronted by a shiny material that looked almost like mother-of-pearl. His shoes were black and soft. A blue band was strapped diagonally across his chest, holding a quiver of arrows and a bow that looked like it was made of crystal on his back.
"Yusuke, Kuwabara, meet Ioe," Korio said. "He's the last member of our team. Ioe is a water sprite, and was my apprentice until I promoted him to Level Three two months ago. Ioe, this is Yusuke Urameshi and Kazuma Kuwabara."
Ioe bounded over with the speed and fluid grace of a flowing river. He stuck his hand out to Yusuke. "I've heard so much about you. It's an honor to meet you," he said.
Yusuke grinned. "It's nice meeting you too."
As the Detective went to shake Ioe's hand, he noticed something slightly disturbing. Ioe's fingers were connected, from the base of the finger to the first joint, by a thin, filmy webbing.
"I know it's strange," the water sprite said, looking down at his hand. "If it bothers you..."
"No, it's okay," Yusuke said, taking the sprite's hand and shaking it. "I think it's cool. And besides, I bet it helps you swim better." Ioe smiled and nodded.
"Are you sure we weren't abducted by aliens?" Kuwabara asked.
Ioe looked at Yusuke's teammate in confusion. "Aliens?"
"Never mind. It's a long story," Yusuke said.
"What do you know about aliens?" Jerin whispered to Korio.
