AN: Welcome to Chapter Three of Crimon Ninja's and Samurai Sirius's (formerly SiriusAboutMarauders) joint fanfic. Is everyone enjoying it thus far? Well good. Although, sadly enough, none of it belongs to us (save maybe our little villans you see running about). So enjoy this chapter and if you review you get...KURAMA AND SAM PLUSHIES! XD Yeah!

((Genkai's Temple))

Genkai had been left in the care of Yukina; it had taken awhile to calm her down after she had regained consciousness. It seemed she didn't remember what she had done but kept apologizing anyway. After prying Kuwabara away from her, the group re-gathered in one of the temple rooms underneath a large Buddha statue.

Danny leaned against the large statue, standing next to Yusuke who looked rather grumpy. Botan sat on the floor next to Tucker while Hiei hovered in the shadows, brooding. Kuwabara was seated as well near a standing Kurama. There was silence for a few moments then Danny sighed, "So…what do we do?"

"Obviously that woman wanted energy, Genkai's especially, for some purpose…but we can't know what yet," Botan muttered.

Kurama glanced at the Ferry girl, "We obviously need to contact Koenma," he said with a sigh.

Yusuke laughed, "Like that toddler will know anything."

Botan smacked Yusuke on the knee, "YUSUKE! Lord Koenma's bound to have files on Kuroko and her two helpers somewhere. We need to find out who she is and what her abilities are."

Botan stood up and brushed off her pants, "I'll head to spirit world now. You should head home Yusuke...Danny didn't even finish unpacking yet."

Yusuke sighed; it wasn't his fault Danny had crashed as soon as they had entered the apartment. Danny hadn't even been able to say hi to Yusuke' mom before the jet lag had hit him with a strong force. "Fine let's go Danny."

Kuwabara stood up and looked at Tucker, "We should probably get home as well…Shizuru might start to worry."

Tucker shrugged, "Alright…let's get going."

Botan followed them outside and summoned her oar, "I'll see you guys' later, okay?" She said with a wink and flew off.

"Oh brother…come on Danny…God knows she'll probably pop in bright and early in the morning," Yusuke muttered.

((Urameshi Residence))

Yusuke opened the door, "I'm home!"

Atsuko Urameshi, Yusuke's "loving" mother, sat up from her spot on the couch, "Where've you been?"

Yusuke sighed, shutting the door behind himself and Danny, "Up at the old hag's place again. Go back to your drunken stupor mom."

Danny felt a bit awkward in this situation and remained silent, he hadn't really gotten to know Ms. Urameshi and he still didn't know much about Yusuke either. So he just followed Yusuke into his room and when Yusuke shut the door he sighed noticing all the luggage left, "Better get started unpacking I guess," he muttered.

Yusuke shrugged and flopped onto his own bed, "Have fun," he said and pulled out some random manga.

Danny ran a hand through his hair; he didn't know what to make of Yusuke. One minute he seemed sort of nice and then at other times he seemed like a complete jerk. 'Well he isn't shoving me into lockers so I guess there isn't too much I can complain about,' Danny thought as he opened his first suitcase.

As he lifted the lid a blue wisp of breath escaped his mouth and his eyes widened as a familiar figure rose from his neatly packed clothes, "Ooooooooo! Beware! For I, the Box Ghost have traveled all the way to Japan in your box like luggage to visit my cousin," The Box Ghost moaned and pulled out a picture of a ghost that looked almost exactly like him, "The Circle Ghost! Beware!"

Danny groaned, "God! Do you ever quit?"

Yusuke sat up from his bed and smirked at the pathetic excuse of a ghost, "So this is The Box Ghost you were telling me about…is he always this annoying."

Danny slammed the suit case shut on the ghost, The Box Ghost being too stupid to phase through at first, "Pretty much…"

The Box Ghost phased from the suitcase, "I will not be insulted by your…insults. My power of all things square will over power you!"

Danny sighed and glanced at Yusuke, "Care to do the honors?"

Yusuke extended his finger and small blue aura surrounded his finger, "This is almost a waste of good spirit energy…"

"Oooooooo. This will sting," The Box Ghost muttered.

Danny opened Yusuke's window and Yusuke released a small burst of his spirit gun and sent the Box Ghost flying off into the night.

"THE BOX GHOST WILL RETURN!"

Yusuke turned back to his manga, "Can you finish unpacking now?"

((Kuwabara Residence))

Meanwhile Tucker, our favorite tech geek, was freaking out, "Just how old is this computer! Do you even HAVE internet access?" Tucker had unpacked awhile ago and was now exploring Kuwabara's technology…or lack there of.

"Uhm…I don't know…we've had that computer since my sister was in Jr. High…so," Kuwabara pondered.

Tucker shook his head, "This is sad. We're going to have to get you new equipment my friend. We'll start with your basic package…a Pentium 4 or 5 should be good. I'm thinking as many gigabytes as possible.

Kuwabara blinked and gave an awkward laugh, "You lost me at the word Pentium."

Tucker sighed and fell to the floor in defeat, "And here I thought everyone in Japan had such advanced technology. WHY COULDN'T WE HAVE GONE TO ENGLAND DANNY! WHY?"

Kuwabara backed up, "Uhm…Tucker?"

Shizuru leaned against the doorway nearby, "What are you two doing? And what's all the shouting about?"

Tucker jumped up and grabbed Shizuru by her shirt, "WHERE'S YOUR TECHNOLOGY?"

Shizuru whacked Tucker upside the head, "Let go of me! What's your problem?"

Tucker fell to the floor clutching his head, "Ow."

Shizuru sighed, "Keep your friend calm little brother…I have a headache." With that said Shizuru walked

((Elsewhere))

Valerie Grey set her luggage down in the entrance hall. Her Japanese host was a woman in her early thirties. She was a kind woman who worked for Master Industries in Tokyo. Valerie had been amazed at the size of the condo when she had arrived earlier that day and after she had unpacked all her stuff she had decided to re-read the letter Vlad had sent her.

Valerie had yet to meet Vlad but as he kept sending her the gadgets and weaponry to fight that ghost boy she was satisfied with just a note. When he had sent her a note requesting her presence in Japan because he had received information that a ghost would be there and that he would send her and her father to Japan ASAP.

There are many dangers in Japan Valerie, my dear. But I need you to focus on Sarayashiki Jr. High…my informant tells me this will be the ghosts point of focus.

Valerie tossed the letter aside, she couldn't ask her dad to come with her so she had gone without him, he had been hesitant at first but when he learned it wouldn't cost him anything he agreed.

There was a knock at the door and Valerie spun around in her computer chair, she had just been polishing her weapons. She opened the door to find Dr. Kagami Itsuko standing in her doorway, "Valerie are you fine for the night…I have to go into the office and won't return until later tomorrow…you know what school you're going to right?"

Valerie smiled, "Sarayashiki Jr. High."

((Next Day, Meiou High School))

Kurama sighed as he shut the door to his locker; he was going to have to guide a transfer student around campus today and he wasn't really looking forward to it. True he didn't have to house a transfer student that would have posed problems in and of itself. However he would much rather have been thinking about their current situation and not about playing tour guide, but such was the sacrifice Kurama made for his school.

He turned around to find a girl with short black hair with part of it pulled into a ponytail. She wore black bracelets on her arm and she looked rather uncomfortable in the school's reddish pink uniform. "Hi…I'm Sam Mason…I'm the new transfer student from America," she said.

Sam blushed slightly, it wasn't that the guy before her made her nervous, it's just she had never met someone so beautiful before. His long red hair fell around him and framed his pale, narrow face and really brought out his green eyes.

"My name is Shuichi Minamono, it is a pleasure to meet you Sam," he said with a smile.

Sam tried not to melt where she stood. What was it about him that she found so alluring? She shook her head of such thoughts; she had just arrived in Japan that night. Her friend and host family would have led her around school but it turned out that they had been put in separate classes. She had been placed in Shuichi's class and as he was rather trusted by the faculty he was to lead her around.

"Shall we get going then…or would you rather stand in the locker room all day," he asked.

Sam shook her head, "No, no, lead the way Shuichi!"

((Sarayashiki Jr. High))

Keiko bumped into Danny in between classes, "Danny? Hi! How are you adjusting to Japan?"

Danny smiled, "Well the jet lag has finally worn off. I'm still kind of tired though."

Keiko smiled, "That's good to hear. By the way…have you seen Yusuke?"

Danny blinked then gave and awkward laugh, "Uhm…I have no idea where he is Keiko. Hah-hah-hah. Well got to go," Danny said and headed off to class.

Keiko growled, "Ooh I bet that jerk is skipping again! YUSUKE!"

Meanwhile on the roof of Sarayashiki Jr. High Yusuke sat on the roof, Kuwabara next to him. Botan was in her school girl disguise and was updating them on Genkai's condition. "She's still asleep…but I she's doing much better Yusuke," Botan said cheerily.

Yusuke smirked, "I figured the old hag could take it. Now did you find anything out about Kuroko and her two little minions?"

Botan's smile faded a bit as she pulled out a manila folder from mid air, "Do I? This is one of the thickest files I've ever SEEN…and I spied Yoko's once."

"Get to the point!"

"Right…sorry," Botan said as she opened the file. "From what I read, Kuroko was once a very powerful and influential demon. She tried to over take the human world with a hoard of demons and spirits."

"Is there no originality anymore? I mean come on how many demons have tried to overtake the human world before," Yusuke muttered.

"Yusuke this is serious! Kuroko came very close to succeeding in her mission. However a very powerful samurai warrior worked diligently with a powerful psychic and the two managed to seal Kuroko into another dimension. She's been there ever since."

"How'd she get out," Kuwabara asked, processing this new information.

Botan shut the folder, "That's just it…there are no files on her escape. We assumed she had faded away with time as her powers had been stripped from her."

Yusuke laughed, "She seemed pretty powerful to me…but what about those other two…the crazy chick and the guy dressed up for prom."

"Kaitouai and Nightshade," Botan said and pulled out two more files, these were a bit thinner than the other one. "Nightshade is a Necronomicon ex Mortis Spawn or as we like to call them in spirit world "N.E.M.S."

Yusuke and Kuwabara blinked, this was defiantly a new creature that they had encountered, "Come again," Yusuke asked.

Botan sighed, "As in an entirely new entity created by the powerful Necronomicon, a dark and ancient tome made by The Great Old Ones, ancient elder gods from other realms that had power over reality, space and time.

Kuwabara and Yusuke gave her a blank stare.

Botan sighed again, "He can be summoned by powerful psychics to do their bidding. He's a being of darkness and is rather evil. He's mostly been known to work for various criminal and cult organizations, by being summoned by one of their members. It says in Nightshade's files that he has worked with Kuroko in the past…so they have their past agreement on top of this more recent one."

"Alright…so he's like a mercenary or something. What about Kaitouai?"

"She is a succubus that can possess others and she likes to feed on humans and demons for their energy…as a succubus that generally means males," she said and with a wink added, "So be careful boys."

Yusuke rolled his eyes, "Whatever. She obviously isn't that much of a threat if Tucker was able to get her out of Yukina…and he doesn't have any spiritual awareness."

Botan shrugged, "Well I'm going to go talk to Kurama so he can relay the information to Hiei," she said hopping onto her oar.

((Meiou High School))

It was now lunch time at the famous prep school known as Meiou High. As it was a rather nice day outside Shuichi was eating lunch alone under one of the many trees on the campus. He was enjoying the silence and was thinking about the new transfer student. Despite her shy behavior at first she had seemed to open up to Shuichi and started talking about her life in the states.

Strangely enough Sam seemed to have a friend named Danny back in the states whom she was quite found of. Shuichi knew Danny was a popular name though so he didn't push it.

Shuichi leaned against the tree as a soft breeze picked up and blew his bright red locks around his face. There was silence for a few moments then Shuichi shot forward, his hand going to his hair. Eyes wide he glanced around the school yard, he could have sworn he sensed a demonic aura and had felt someone's eyes on him. He studied the area around him and leaned back, the grounds were full of normal human student's simply eating lunch.

"Hello Kurama," Botan said cheerily sneaking up behind him.

Kurama gave Botan a soft smile, "Hello Botan, what brings you to Meiou High," he asked.

Botan was dressed in a Meiou High school girl's uniform. Kurama pondered about asking her where she got it but decided against it, "I'm here to tell you about the information we gathered on Kuroko and why she may be after Danny Phantom."

Unbeknownst to Kurama and Botan someone else was spying on them. Well not intentionally. Sam Mason had been walking over to talk to Shuichi when she saw the other girl approach him and ask about Danny. Sam blinked and asked aloud before she could stop herself, "How do you know about Danny?"

Kurama and Botan looked up upon hearing Sam's exclamation. This was not good.
