Chapter 3: the meeting
PLEASE PLEASE I'm begging you all to review or at least let me know if someone's reading.
Takada High
Yusuke urameshi sat on the rooftop of Takada high. His features were set in a menacing expression. "Miss Jun," he thought, "How could anyone do such a thing?" His mind drifted to the events that occurred earlier in the day . . .
Flashback
It was one of those rare days that Keiko forced him to get to school extra early. While they walked through the hallway, on their way to class, they heard some screams and a lot of commotion coming from one of the classes. "What's going on?" Keiko asked to herself. The two walked quickly to where the commotion was coming from. There were a lot of police officers, paramedics and students milling about. The classroom was blocked off by yellow police tape.
"Geesh, if school's this exciting early in the morning, then I might as well come early everyday." Said yusuke.
"Yusuke!" Keiko could never understand where yusuke got his sense of humor from. Just then, one of Keiko's friends, Mai, came running up to her with tears in her eyes
"Keiko, I can't believe it! It's horrible," she said between sobs.
"Mai, tell me what's going on!"
"Ms. Jun .she's.she's" the girl passed out before she could fully answer.
"Ms. Jun?" Keiko said as she turned to find Yusuke, but, he had already left her side and was fighting to get through the crowd. His face was horror stricken when he looked in the classroom. He looked on the floor and saw a body bag with Jun Pei's body in it. Blood, and lots of it, covered the floor along with a pile of broken, bloody chairs and desks.
"No this . can't be," he whispered brokenly.
End of flashback
"Ms. Jun," yusuke whispered before he squeezed his eyes shut forcing himself not to cry.
"Urameshi," Kuwabara, who had been standing opposite of his friend for a while, tried to snap yusuke out of his sorrow. "Hey, I know how you're feeling, I mean, she was a great teacher! But you gotta forget about it and focus on the case. Kurama and hiei are gonna be here soon so ya need to snap outta it.
In less than a heart beat yusuke was in front of kuwabara with his hands gripped onto his collar. "Cram it dumbass! She was my favorite teacher! The only freakin' one who gave a stupid care about me! What the hell do you know!!?" Yusuke's eyes were blazing. Kuwabara stared calmly into Yusuke's fiery eyes.
"I know you're angry man, but, you gotta cool it. Hell I'm pissed off myself, but, the only way we're gonna get to the bottom of this is if we have a cool head. Do it for Ms. Jun." Yusuke began to calm down slightly, "I promise you we'll get these punks for what they've done, but we've got to do it with a clear head."
Yusuke sniffed and let Kuwabara go, "I know what you're saying Kuwabara, it's just shocking to hear you speak logically for once" yusuke joked.
"Hey you jerk!" kuwabara shouted.
Yusuke smirked at him and said, "You give a pretty good speech when your life is on the line."
"Man you're impossible," kuwabara said
"But, accurate," someone quipped behind them.
"Hey! Watch it shrimp!!!" Shouted Kuwabara.
"What's up Hiei," said yusuke.
The short fire demon, who was clad in his customary black ensemble, was standing behind them on the rail of the roof. Hiei jumped off the railing to stand next to the two humans, "since we've seen you in that situation so many times, you know, the one when you get your ass kicked severely and nearly die; we get to experience your 'heartfelt' speeches first hand."
"Hey shrimp! You wanna take this outside?!" shouted kuwabara.
"We are outside, fool!" hiei retorted.
"Children!" Yusuke said angrily, "can't we all just get along?"
"Hn!"
"Now where's Kurama?" asked Yusuke
"I'm right here yusuke," said Kurama who was standing right next to Kuwabara.
"Agh!!! Don't do that!" screamed Kuwabara
"so now that everyone's here-oh wait, pacifier breath and botan ain't here yet- always the last ones to arrive. Typical since they're the ones who called the stupid meeting."
"Koenma is never late." Everyone jumped at Koenma's sudden appearance.
"What is this, pop up day or something!?" Shouted Yusuke
"Bingo!" said the over cheery grim reaper botan, "hello everyone!"
"Now this is getting stupid," said Yusuke while scratching his head.
"Yes, can we please get on with it," said hiei with his hands in his pockets and his customary deadly glare fixed on botan.
"Uh," she shied away from hiei's glare, "he he he, I'll be standing over here," she moved about ten feet in the distance, away from hiei.
"Yes well, I've come to update you on what we found out about the killer and I'm sorry to say that this one's going to be a doozey. Our sources tell us that we're dealing with a type of shadow demon. These demons attack only in the dark. When it's day or when they're surrounded by light they are powerless. However, when in the dark, they are said to be undefeatable. They hold the power of illusion, and other deadly skills,"
"Other deadly skills huh? Great, so what do they want?"
Koenma floated up to yusuke so they were at eye level, "you know, the usual, world domination,"
"Same ole same ole," sighed yusuke
"Just about,"
"So, we find this demon; kick their ass back to Makai; case closed right?"
"Well yes, and no," said the toddler. He sighed and turned his back to the group. "You see this is not just one demon you're dealing with, nor, are all the demons you will be dealing with shadow demons. This is a whole race of demons that have many different types of powers, some of which are unheard of. They are a very old, very wise, very powerful race."
"So would you mind telling us what race these demons belong to?" asked hiei sarcastically.
"Once a long time ago, before humans inhabited this world, these creatures ruled over this land, they called themselves dragon keepers."
"Wait a minute," yusuke folded his arms and cocked his head to the side, "now where did I hear that name from?" He asked
"How about from your late teacher, Jun Pei's lessons." Said botan who had found her way back to the group.
"Hey, that's right," yusuke whispered
"We don't really know why they killed the woman, but, we can surmise that it probably had something to do with her revealing the clan's secrets in her lectures."
"So, what exactly do you want us to do?" Asked hiei
"Well I guess the right thing to say would be to watch your backs,"
"What?!?" Yelled yusuke
"I thought you said that they only wanted to take over the world," said kuwabara
"Well they do, but, in order to do that, they have to take you guys out,"
"So now the hunters have become the hunted," kurama said quietly
"I'm afraid so kurama," koenma turned around with a squeamish smile on his face, "well that's all I have for now, try to stay alive," with that the toddler disappeared.
The group stood on the roof top not saying anything until hiei broke the silence, "is it me, or did that fool koenma seem a bit skittish when he was talking about these demons," asked hiei.
"Quite. His report also seemed to be lacking important detail. It's as if he was hiding something." Said kurama. He began to walk towards botan, "is there anything else we should know botan?"
"Not that I know of, koenma hasn't told me anymore than what you already know. But, I'll try to find out more if I can." With that the girl materialized her magical oar and flew away.
"Hey, kurama, do you know anything about these dragon keepers?" Asked yusuke
"I dealt with one in the past as Yoko kurama, but that situation has nothing to do with this," he said
"What kind of situation?" Asked hiei
"That is of a private matter,"
"Hn,"
"Anyway, I might know of someone who could be linked to these creatures, but more investigation is needed."
"Well alright then, there's a starting point, now all we gotta do is make sure none of us don't get killed before the end of this case." Said yusuke
Well ok, that was chapter three, kinda boring I know, but it was necessary. Now for the matter at hand, I need for you all to REVIEW, I need to hear you guys' opinions. Flames are welcome, just please, PLEASE review.
Ok I'll try to update soon.
PLEASE PLEASE I'm begging you all to review or at least let me know if someone's reading.
