Hello everyone! Hiei666 here with a new chapter! Sorry for the lateness, I was busy yesterday. So, I hope you like it! You get to read some of Yusuke's famus smart-mouthing for those of you who find it funny.

CH.8

Back at Koenma's office things were going ballistic. Paper-work stacked to the ceiling, ogres running around everywhere, and everything that could go wrong, seemed to be doing just that. And to top it all off, WHERE IN THE NAME OF MAKAI WAS YUSUKE!

Botan popped her head into the office door and carefully walked up to Koenma's desk. "Good evening sir! And how are we feeling on this bright and shiny day?" Botan chirped. "I simply must know Botan," Koenma started, "how on earth you can keep such good spirits with all this chaos!"

Botan smiled and pranced around the room. "Well, let's see, I just love this bright and lovely weather, it just makes my mind fly, and all the people that I have seen today are having a happy-go-lucky day today, yes sir…oh, except one. And speaking of spirits sir, it was a spirit. Actually, I have never seen a spirit so set on killing, even though they are already dead. I must say sir…it was awfully creepy."

Koenma started once again to stamp paper-work. "That's nice Botan." Botan clapped her hands together and smiled even brighter. "Then Miss Creepy got away and flew off somewhere and I tried to find her, but was stopped but some lovely smelling flowers, now I wanted to ask you a question sir…" Koenma looked up at Botan and stopped his work. "You actually let a spirit go free with no second thought?" Koenma burst. "Botan, how could you?" Botan put a finger to her chin.

"Well, I really did not think it mattered, she is dead after all so what harm could she do?" Koenma got out of his chair and walked up to his bookshelf. He pulled out an old book that was about three inches thick. The book was covered in dust and looked like it had been there for years. Koenma took the book to his desk and plopped the book down. After flipping through a couple hundred pages he finally found his destination. He then pointed to a large picture in the middle of the book. Botan looked at the picture and was immediately taken aback by the photo in the middle of the page that greatly resembled a possessed, walking, zombie.

"What is that sir?" Botan cried out. Then she lost any and all other feeling that was not happy. "It looks like someone didn't get very much sleep that night." She squealed. Koenma cleared his throat. "This, Botan, is what happens when a spirit takes over a living, human, body. Basically, they go completely insane, and would kill their own mother without knowing it."

Botan put on an innocent look. "Oops… I suppose this would be a bad time to ask for a raise huh? Well, sir, what do you think will happen? Honestly, Yuske and the others do have a lot on their hands as it is." Koenma put a finger to his chin and shrugged. "Oh well."

Botan sweat-dropped. "But sir what about Yusuke; you know about his attention span! We can't give him such a hard job all at once." Koenma ignored her. "Humph, well, if you won't help him, then I will!" She said half angrily. (This is about as angry as she can get.)

"Thanks a bunch Botan, I feel a lot safer now." Yuske said sarcastically from the door. "Well, we're here, sorry we're late." Hiei stepped into the door along with Kagome behind him. "We would have gotten here faster if a certain moron didn't get sick wile flying, and had to take about 100 pit-stops before we finally got here." He said. Koenma walked up to his desk and sat down. "Yes that is all well and good, but I am afraid that we must stumble on to more important matters now." Koenma stated. Yuske walked up and leaned on his desk. "So Koenma, what pain in the ass assignment, besides finding this girl's mom, do you have for me this time?" Yuske asked. "Come on; let's get this over with so I can get back to my so-called life."

Koenma looked at Yuske and closed his eyes. "Your other mission is to find a spirit that Botan lost." Yuske looked over at Botan and gave her a death glare. "Sorry toddler, but ghost-busten just aint my thing."

"Well, make it then, and we will need all the help we can get if we are ever going to find out who is after you Miss…uh…" Kagome looked up at Koenma and smiled. "Hagurashi, Kagome Hagurashi." Koenma cleared his throat. "Yes well, Kagome, do you know of anyone who can help us?" Shippu, now on Kurama's shoulder looked at Kagome seeing all the pain that she showed in her eyes in remembering her friends. "Yes." She said "I do know of someone."

Koenma closed his eyes. "Good, like I said, we will need all the help we can get." Kagome looked to the floor. Hiei noticed this and decided to get her mind off the matter and get on with the mission.

Kuwabara's face was getting a little green. "We don't have to fly again do we? It was bad enough going up, but do we really have to go down?" Kurama walked over to Kuwabara and put a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry Kuwabara; I am sure that Hiei will gladly slow his pace for you."

At this, Hiei's face turned a dark red. "If you think, that you can even remotely consider me hauling that big lump of wasted flesh and bones on my back, then you have definitely got a few disorders to work out!" Hiei yelled. "Oh honestly Hiei, that hardly seems fair, I had to carry him, and Yuske on the way up!" Kurama yelled back. Hiei walked over and placed his hand on Kagome's shoulder. "That is because I must carry Kagome, carrying guys and girls are two completely different procedures." Hiei said, trying to make excuses. "Like how?" Kurama shot back. "Like, for instance, she is wearing a skirt. If at any time she suddenly feels uncomfortable, I have to put her in a more comfortable position, so she will stop complaining. (Must be talking from past experiences, ne?) "Now try holding two people, wile having to deal with one, which pretty much already counts as two."

Kagome, Yuske, and Botan were all watching with little amusement. "I think I should just carry Kagome!" Kurama yelled. "NO, I am her guardian, I will carry her!" Hiei yelled even louder. Kagome sighed. "Either they are fighting over you Kagome, or neither of them wants to take Kuwabara." Botan giggled. Kagome sighed.

Hiei suddenly thought of a rather important question. "Just out of curiosity, what the hell does a spirit have to do with Kagome and her…problem?" Hiei asked. Koenma got up and walked from his desk to the window. "Well, he started, the only reason why a spirit would be so obsessed with killing, is if someone created them to be that way.

Everyone gasped. "You mean my mom was created by that freak"! Kagome cried. "No," Koenma said calmly, "it was a clone. The cloning process is a painful one, I feel bad for her. Well, you had better get going. "Kagome, you can get the people you know and…" Before Koenma could finish, an ogre bashed through the door.

"KOENMA SIR! A bunch of demon zombies are attacking the castle!" Yuske gave a thumbs-up. "Oh hell yah, catching the undead may not be my stile, but beating the crap out of them is right up my ally. With that said, they began, what could possibly be the biggest battle of Kagome's life, to save her family".

Well, I hoped you liked it! I will hopefully update soon! Hiei666 signing off (Beep)
