Last Time:

Everyone nodded. Kirara transformed into her more demonic form, and Sango, Miroku, and Shippou jumped on her back. Inuyasha started leaping from tree to tree with Kirara following side-by-side.

This Time:

"Who is this, Mrs. H," asked Kurama, as he held a picture frame up towards her direction. Mrs. Higurashi looked up and saw the picture.

She smiled and said, "That is my daughter and her boyfriend, dear." Kurama smiled back. He seemed pretty amused as to see Koenma being with someone else. He had thought he would be with Botan or Ayame! Oh how he was wrong about that.

"Yo, Kurama. What is that you're holding?" asked Yusuke, as he broke Kurama's amusement in half.

However, Kurama just smiled. "This is a picture of Mrs. H's daughter with her boyfriend, Yusuke."

Yusuke looked confused. "Then, how is that pic important to us anyways?"

"Yeah, especially when we have a mission to do!" exclaimed Kuwabara, which he received glares from his teammates.

Mrs. Higurashi giggled and asked, "What is this "mission" of yours?" Kurama, Yusuke, and Hiei sighed in relief. The woman had thought that this was a game or something.

"We're spirit detectives! And, we must find our boss, Koenma!" said Kuwabara, but slapped his mouth. "Uhm… I meant just detectives." Kuwabara cleared his throat.

Hiei rolled his eyes. "It's not as if she wouldn't notice something's up, you buffoon." He muttered. Hiei crossed his arms and waited what Mrs. Higurashi would say. He hoped that she thought it was a game or joke for the moment. After all, he did not want a ningen to freak out.

Kurama had sighed. He didn't want Kuwabara to shout anonymously like that. He may have figured the whole thing out, but the only thing is, is where Koenma is hiding. Hopefully, the woman won't call the police because of the strange scene Kuwabara is making in front of them.

Yusuke grumbled, mumbling incoherent words at Kuwabara's mistake. He knew that this would happen. But, he did not take precaution. He had let Kuwabara say something he was not supposed to say! For all that matter, Yusuke hoped Mrs. Higurashi wouldn't find anything suspicious of them.

"Spirit Detective? Koenma?" asked Mrs. Higurashi in surprise. The spirit detectives looked quite confused. "You're the spirit detectives Koenma-san mentioned about to us. I thought you all seemed familiar at first, but I ignored it."

"Wha…" was all Yusuke and Kuwabara had to say.

Hiei seemed a bit confused, as well as Kurama. Especially, hearing the fact that Koenma telling a ningen that had NO supernatural, spirit, or demonic energy. "So, Koenma is your daughter's boyfriend?" asked Kurama.

"What?" The rest seemed confused and had a shocked expression. Mostly, Yusuke and Kuwabara. This kind of information seemed a bit too shocking, as Yusuke shouted, "How can that brat get a girlfriend? I mean, he acts like a baby and all!"

Mrs. Higurashi laughed a bit. "How is that sweet, polite young man a brat, dear? He acts so responsible and caring towards my daughter. I believe that he'll do a fine job for my daughter, Kagome." Yusuke sweatdropped and thought, 'That is a fucking lie.'

"May I ask one question, Mrs. H?" asked Kurama.

"What is it, dear?"

"Could you please tell us where Koenma and your daughter are?"

Mrs. Higurashi looked uneasy and her fingers fidgeted with each other. "I cannot give that information away. Gomen nasai."

"Naze?" asked Kurama.

"It's because… he and my daughter are in a mission. He strictly said to me if someone asked where he was, then do no tell even if it his detectives. It was something that he and my daughter had to do."

"Why can't you tell us, lady!" shouted Yusuke.

Mrs. Higurashi would felt offended by how Yusuke shouted at her like that; but, of course, Mrs. Higurashi was used to that and just smiled at him. "It's a secret. A secret that can never be revealed. Unless, the mission is finished. But, many would think it is too unlikely to happen."

"Try us," said Hiei, as he challenged Mrs. Higurashi's saying. If it were true, then he sure was not used to unnatural things then. Besides, he could get the information out of the lady. Or, he could just mind read.

Mrs. Higurashi just perked up an eyebrow at him. "All I could say it has to do with time. And, don't try to read my mind."

"Eh?" Kurama, Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei seemed surprised.

"How could you tell that I'm a mind reader? Did Koenma tell you?" asked Hiei, with his eyes narrowed.

Mrs. Higurashi just smiled. "No. My daughter has told me her adventures with her friends. And, it included telling me information on mind readers."

"Hn."

Inuyasha scented Kagome's scent and the other guy, what was his name? Koyomi? No, it couldn't be, but he didn't care. Since their scents were nearby the explosion, Kagome must be in trouble!

"Guys, I smell Kagome's scent!" shouted Inuyasha, as he gained more speed.

"Kagome-san might be in trouble!" shouted Miroku.

"Then, let's hurry!" replied Sango, as Kirara sped up more.

They finally got there, but…

All they saw was dust in the air and…

Their eyes widened.

END OF CHAPTER

A/n: I am so sorry for the cliffhanger but I'm tired and I couldn't think up of something else, and I thought it was time to update my story too so yeah.

Some Japanese words I used:

Gomen nasai - Most of you are quite familiar with this phrase but to those who are not, it means "I'm sorry" or anything like that phrase.

Naze - If you did some research or you get how it is used, it means "why". Another term for saying "why" in Nihon-go is "Doshite".

Well, that's all I think. If i missed anything, tell me in the reviews. ;; Oh, yes, if you wonder why I bother using some Japanese words/phrases, it is because I need to practice a bit. I have not for awhile. Well, good day/night. And, I hope you enjoyed this chapter
