Wow, look at us. . .ready and waiting with chapter 5 ready to go! Good for us! That's why we're a team! Well, that and other reasons I'm sure. In any case, we're not as good a team as the Red Sox. Now THERE'S a group of people one can be proud of. Not that I'm not proud of all of you. . .but when was the last time any of YOU came back from three games to none against the Yankees to win the ALCS division title and then the World Series? I didn't think so. GO RED SOX! THE CURSE HAS BEEN BROKEN! Well, now that that's out of the way, let's continue with what we all came here for...HADCORE NUDITY! Or chapter 5. . .ya that's it. . .chapter 5. . .
I do not own jin and touya nor yu yu hakusho (in the game of chess you can never let your
opponent see you pieces)
Four days had passed since the demonic trio had left the gates of Mizuumi no Himitsu, and the sullen figure of Supika remained where she had promised. She had vowed to Jin that she would look after his frozen warrior of ice, and to that vow she would hold. But today was going to be different, today she was going to throw off her chains and aide in the capture of that hideous clown . . . she only need wait for her guest to arrive . . .
!#$&()
"I wonder what Supika wants?" The blue haired youkai said to no one in particular as she drifted downward to the grounds below. "She sounded a little bit frightened, I hope everything's ok. Maybe the strain of taking care of two dead bodies is getting to her. I know I had trouble with it MY first week when I started working for Koenma. Oh, but just listen to me talk to myself, I'm sure she's fine. Really Botan, you must stop worrying or your hair is going to turn gray and you wouldn't want Koenma replacing you with someone younger just yet! Oh look, there's Supika's village!" The oar bent slightly downward, as if in response to the youkai girl's subtle remark, and began a rather graceful decent. Within a few seconds Botan found herself standing, once again, at the demon warrior's door, hand raised slightly in anticipation. She knocked once, then twice, and then once more to ensure that the message was received by those on the other side, and it was not long before a response was given.
"HANASHIMAS SHITTE! . . .COME IN!"
The door creaked loudly as the blue haired youkai pushed it forward. It almost gave the impression of leading to certain doom (as a creaky door often does in stories such as these), but beyond it lay a familiar sight. Supika was there, as she always had been . . . waiting with a smile spread across her reddish lips. "Hello Supika, glad to see you again! What is it you wanted?"
The warrior said nothing for a moment, but then took in a deep breath and said what she knew she had to. "Yo swanlo mai ja ne su. . .I have found something that may be able to help in your search."
"Wonderful! What is it? A map? A letter from him stating his exact whereabouts? A readout from a tracking device? Any of those would be great and would make my job a lot easier." She smiled widely.
"Donwa. . .better. shutton mai ii Sazuka can miagi no sai han. . .when Sazuka first came here he was very careful about what he did and did not do. Demo naka demona ie shi. . .but then he became careless and left behind. . .sono. . .this." She held up her hand, and in it she held the single item that would solve the case, and Botan knew that now. . .they might just have a chance.

"Hiei, we've been lookin' for four days now and we haven' so much as gotten a whiff a that smilin' freak."
"Hn. Tracking is an art form, you can't expect to just walk down the street and find who it is you're looking for."
"But we've been searchin' everywhere and we're only havin' three days left. If we don't find him soon, Koenma's gonna be havin' our rear ends."
"Like I've said before, I'm not doing this for him. The collapse of the three worlds is almost a comforting thought for me."
"So then the only thing keepin' ya here is Kurama isn't it?"
"Hn."
"Awe come on Hiei, ya can tell me! I promise ta be keepin' it a secret."
The black haired youkai could not help the anger swelling up inside of him. It seemed like every hour since their journey had begun, the wind master had found some way to bring up his dead companion and that was not the worst of it. Jin was all too open with his feelings, something which the fire youkai was not accustomed to. Even when he and Kurama had begun their lives together, they hardly ever spoke about feelings whether they be past, present, or future. It was just an understanding they had. If Hiei felt like talking, then he would . . . but most of the time, he didn't. Now, all the wind master wanted to do was talk, and the dragon could not take it any longer. "I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS JIN! NOT WITH YOU, NOT WITH ANYONE! MY THOUGHTS ARE MY OWN! JUST BECAUSE YOU WANT TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH ABOUT EVERY LITTLE THING, DOESN'T MEAN I DO!"
The wind master was stood silent for a moment. Hiei had never spoken to him that way before, not even after the tournament had ended and his hatred for the Shinobi had risen. It was painfully clear to Jin that Hiei wanted nothing to do with him, and would probably never consider him a friend. "Gosh Hiei, I'm sorry. I didn't know I was bein' such a pain in yer rear end. I was just tryin' ta be friendly is all . . ."
"Let's get one thing straight Jin."
"Ok."
"I . . . HATE . . .Y" (beep beep) "Huh?" (beep beep) (beep beep) "What vile creature is making that noise?" (beep beep)
"Huh? What? Oh! It's bein' this thing here." (beep beep) Jin reached into the left pocket of his whitish pants, and extracted from it what appeared to be a compact (the kind nigen females carry around with them in order to do a few last minute touch-ups).
"This is no time to be worried about your make-up." (beep beep)
"Don't be daft Hiei! I wouldn't be caught dead dressin' like a girl . . .although there was that one time when I was gettin' drunk in the everglades . . .uh um uh, but anyway, this is bein' one a those spirit world communicator disks. Botan was givin' it ta me right before we left the palace. Ya know, ta be keepin' in touch if we needed somethin'." (beep beep) (beep beep)
"Well?" (beep beep)
"Well what?" (beep beep)
"ANSWER IT!" (beep beep)
"Oh, right" He flipped it open, and where the mirror portion of the compact should have been, the image of a very excited looking grim reaper now was. "Why hello Botan! What can I do for ya?!"
"Finally! I've been on the line for five minutes! I was starting to think Koenma had bought the cheap kind again and I was never going to get a hold of you!"
"well, ya've got us now, so what's the emergency bein'?"
"I'm here with Supika, and she has something that is going to turn this case upside down and backwards."
"Ya? And what's that bein'?"
"Hair, Jin . . . Sazuka's hair."
Here I come to save the day! Yes, it is I, this spirit of the Boston Red Sox here to say "HA" to all of those non-believers. I know that this is the time when thesixthshinobi normally does their closing remarks, but for the moment I have taken over. Don't worry though, they will be back to host the beginning of chapter 6 which will probably be in a few weeks. Well, I've got other places to go, people to see, and closing authors' notes to invade. I'll see you all again next year, because the curse HAS BEEN BROKEN!
