"This... Is...Too...Easy!" Yusuke shouted as he avoided a long black tail and ran up the dragon's spine. Once he got to the dragon's head, he extended his fingers out like a gun and a bolt of energy shot out from his finger.
Jumping off the headless dragon, Yusuke landed gracefully onto his feet and retreated to the car, where his friends were waiting.
"It took you long enough." Hiei commented.
"Yeah you try to get that small thing from a thirty feet dragon that can spit fire and stuff." Yusuke sniffed with his hands clamped behind his head. He hopped into the car and relaxed against the seats.
"Did you get the Dragon Ball, Yusuke?" Bulma asked as she turned from the driver's seat to look at Yusuke.
"Catch." Bulma fumbled with the object for a while before she sent an annoyed look in Yusuke direction.
"You could have just handed it to me." She mumbled, starting up the car. "Alright, boys. To the next mission."
"The next one is mine." Kurama voiced from the passenger seat and smirked teasingly at Yusuke. "I don't want Yusuke getting all the credit for getting the Dragon Balls."
Yusuke grinned slightly at Kurama's teasing and went back to staring out of the window. Hiei remained silent and closed his eyes as he rested his feet on the back of Kurama's seat.
"What are you guys plan on doing after all this is over?" Bulma asked trying to start up a conversation. It was too quite in the car for her.
"I don't know. I hadn't really had the time to time about it." Kurama admitted, rolling down his window letting the wind blow against his hair. He glanced back at Yusuke in the corner of his eyes. "What do you plan on doing, Yusuke?"
A thoughtful expression grew on his leader's face before a grin took its place. "Take care of my newborn son."
"Oh! You're going to be a father, Yusuke?! You must be excited." Bulma smiled in the rearview mirror at Yusuke.
"I guess." Yusuke rubbed the back of his neck with an uneasy gleam in his eyes. Kurama and Bulma shared a look and the car went silent again.
"Don't look so down, Juunanagou-san. I'm not bad to be around!" Botan said with a smile. Juunanagou ignored her like she wasn't in the car and stared out the window.
She sighed sadly and turned to Yuki. "I give up."
Yuki shrugged and sent her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry about it, Botan-san. He never has anything important to say anyway." He ignored the icy glare that was sent in his direction.
"Oh, Yuki! That's not nice." Botan scolded motherly making Yuki squirm in his seat in discomfort. "Apologize to Juunanagou-san."
"Botan-san! Please." He groaned, his face turning pink as he tried to ignore Juunanagou's snickering. Botan shook her head and give Yuki a frown. Yuki sweated under her gaze and grumbled something that was too quite to hear.
"What was that, Youkai?" Juunanagou took great amusement in seeing Yuki being embarrassed and leaned closer, his mouth twitched. "I didn't hear you. Spoke louder."
'Bastard! He's enjoying this! Why that little...' Yuki's eyes narrowed and his back became straight. "You—"
"Oh look at that, guys! It looks like it is the end of the road!" The woman pointed to the road, happily.
"Dammit." Yuki stopped the car suddenly making Botan jerk forward almost hitting the dashboard and turned off the engine. He stepped out of the car, frowning. "Where is the rest of the road?"
"It's the end of the road, Yuki. This means we found the North Kai." Botan explained looking around with her hand cupping over her eyes like to block the sun's rays and frowned. "Where is it?"
"Where is what?"
"The planet the King Kai lived on. I could have sworn it was around here somewhere." Botan replied and rubbed her chin, thoughtfully. Then she slapped her forehead and groaned. "I forgot that the planet got blown up by Cell."
'Cell.' Juunanagou lip curled up in an unnoticed sneer and crossed his arms.
"Why are we even looking for the North Kai? We need to go to the tournament. Can't you just lead us there, Botan?" Yuki asked as he glanced at the woman.
"I would Yuki, but I don't know where it's held." She admitted honestly. "If only King Kai was here. I'm sure he would know where it was held."
"You called?" a new voice asked from behind them
Vejita stepped into the kitchen just in time to see Goku shoveling food into his mouth like a pig. His lip curled in disgust for a moment before he shook his head. 'Disgusting.'
If Goku had sensed that he came into the room, he made no notice that the Prince was there. He continued to eat like he hadn't ate in years.
'Ignore me, Kakkarot?' Vejita thought and his eyes flashed in annoyance. 'Two can play at this game.'
He strolled into the room and opened the refrigerator door, grabbed a bottle of water. Vejita opened the top to the bottle and tried to ignore at Goku as he swallowed the liquid down.

Yusuke sighed, impatiently before pushing a button to roll down the window. He leaned out of the window and yelled loudly, "Come on, Kurama. You can flirt on your own time. We got to go!"
The old woman in front of Kurama flushed at Yusuke's words and quickly handed Kurama the dragon ball. Her face turned even redder when Kurama flashed at her a pearly white smile.
As he walked back to the car, his smiled wiped away to replace an annoyed expression. Kurama climbed into the car and gently placed the orange ball into Bulma's waiting hands.
He turned in his upper torso to scold Yusuke behind him. "I wasn't flirting, Yusuke. I was just trying to get some information from the women."
"It sure didn't look like it to me." Yusuke suddenly placed both hands on the side of his cheeks and attempted to act like the old women, blushing. "'Oh Kurama-sama. I would gladly give you this dragon ball, if you continued graced me with your holy presence.'"
Kurama struggled to stifled the chuckle that was about to come out of his mouth and tried to act serious. It was no success. He covered his mouth with his hand as a laugh escaped his throat.
"That's the worst acting I ever scene, Detective." Hiei spoke giving his team leader a strange look.
"I must agree, Yusuke." Kurama chuckled.
"Yes, even Vejita could do better then that." Bulma agreed, shaking her head with a smile. Yusuke huffed and crossed his arms above his chest.
"Shut up! Who asked for your opinions anyway?!" Yusuke's eyebrow twitched in irritation as he closed his eyes.

Trunks stepped into Yuki's bedroom and looked around, searching. Closing the door behind him, his eyes brightened when he spotted what he was looking for.
He walked quietly over to Yuki's bed and stared at the sword that was on the dresser. With hesitant hands, Trunks placed his small yet callused hands on the sheath of the sword.
Trunks lifted the sword from the small dresser and gripped the handle of the weapon. Ignoring the sound the sword made when it was unsheathed, he gazed at it with wonder. The sharp blade glittered in the sun light and reflected his face on it like a mirror.
He slammed the blade back into the sheath, gently making sure not to damage it with his strength and held the sword, tightly against his chest. "I will guard this sword with my life, Yuki-san until you come back."
Turning sharply, Trunks walked out of the room and marched down the hall towards the room where Yuki's body was placed. For some reason he just needed to see Yuki. He wanted to reassure the redhead that he would keep the sword safe.
Standing in the doorway of the room, his eyes widened in disbelief and in what seemed like slow motion. The sword slowly fell to the ground with a loud thud.

"Who are you?" Yuki demanded, frowning at the blue looking bug with clothes and attendees. He was unfazed when Botan jabbed him in the stomach. "What?"
"Don't be so rude, Yuki-chan! This is King Kai. Be more respectable." Botan whispered and then quickly beamed at King Kai as she bowed. "Hello, sir! It's nice to meet you again."
King Kai smiled at her and nodded his head. "Hello, Botan-san." He glanced at Yuki and Juunanagou, curiously. "And who are your friends?"
"This is my dear friend, Yuki and his friend Juunanagou." Yuki opened his mouth to protest, but stopped when Botan send him a warning glance and nodded to King Kai in greeting. Juunanagou repeated what Yuki just did and placed his hands in his pockets.
"I see you have some trouble getting around. Maybe I can be some help to you. I'm actually heading my way to the tournament right now and you can join me, if you want."
"What's the catch?" Juunanagou asked, curiously seeing the gleam behind the Kai's black glasses. He ignored Botan and Yuki's startled looks and continued to speak. "You can't be that generous."
"Juunanagou-san! How rude of you to say that..." Botan trailed off when King Kai held up his blue hand to silence her.
"Smart boy, seeing how you seen right through me. I'll be frank with you." King Kai faced turned serious and a tense silence came before he spoke again. "You have to tell me a joke."
"A joke! Well that is easy—"She was cut off again.
"And it has to be funny enough to make me laugh and I want you..." He pointed at Juuanagou. "...To tell it to me."

"DAD!" Trunks yelled as he dashed into the kitchen and stood in the doorway with wide eyes. Goku paused, his hand reaching out towards a chicken leg and mouth full. Vejita swallowed the water in his mouth and turned his eyes towards his son.
"What?"
"Yuki-san's body is missing!"
"WHAT?!" Goku yelled standing sharply out of his seat making the chair fall loudly to the floor. He shook his head and frowned. "It can't be I was just there with...Oh no..."
"Oh no what?" Vejita demanded as he watched the other Saiyan slap his forehead and cover his face.
"Noraneko. He was the last one to see Yuki." Goku explained mentally kicking himself for letting Noraneko stay with Yuki alone.
"Dammit, the little shit's ki is so small. We probably didn't even sense him go past." Vejita growled angrily, clenching his fist. He turned sharply towards Trunks and ordered, "Call everybody tell them what's going on. I want that boy's body back here by the time those idiots get finished collecting the Dragon Balls."
"Right." With a sharp nod, Trunks run away in full speed. Vejita turned to face Goku, but was surprised to see that the Saiyan was gone.

Juunanagou snorted and an annoyed expression grew on his face. "I'm not here for your entertainment, old man. Just tell me where the tournament is being held at."
"Make me laugh first."
"I'll make you laugh alright. I'll—"
"Stop being a jerk and tell him a joke, Jinzouningen. The faster you tell the joke the faster we get to the tournament." Yuki implied to Juunanagou and crossed his hands over his chest.
Juunanagou narrowed his eye at Yuki, dangerously. "Don't order me around, Youkai."
Like lightening two eyes clashed together with such fieriness that it cause Botan and King Kai to sweat. Botan laughed nervously at the growing tension.
"Now, now, boys. There is no need to fight! I'm sure King Kai could happily pick someone else to tell the joke!"
As sweat started to drop from his brow, King Kai cleared his throat and nodded quickly. From the looks on Yuki and Juunanagou's faces, they didn't seem to be satisfied with his response.
"Hmm how about this. Why don't we just call off the deal and I'll just lead you guys to the tournament?"
"Oh how nice of you, King Kai! See, boys. We got it all worked out. So cut out this foolishness and let's get a move on." Botan said cheerfully stepping between Yuki and Juunanagou breaking their eye contact.
Yuki still fumed, but was now satisfied with King Kai's change of plans. "Fine."
"Hn. Then what are we waiting for then? Hurry up, old man and show us where the tournament is." Juunanagou tapped his feet, impatiently. "I don't have all day."
"See here, young man—"King Kai started, but he stopped when he saw Botan waving her hands, wildly in the corner of his eye. His eyebrow twitched in anger before he sighed in defeat. "Okay...Everyone follow me."

(Sigh) I don't like this chapter too much, but this is all I could think of.
