More interesting scenes you say, well if you want them I can serve them up. I will indeed keep it up. Hope you enjoy this chapter.

Well that was the shortest review corner I had in a while. Anyway I hope you all enjoy reading this chapter.

The conference

Yomi stated as he slowly made his way back to the meeting chambers. Kurama followed soon behind. His concerns were growing by the minute but he knew this could be the last chance to protect Makai. The other guests slowly made there way into the chamber as well. Yomi smiled friendly at the other two kings. " Come sit, we have much to discuss."

Raizen and Mukuro looked at each other and then back at Yomi. The tension was already building and nothing happened yet. The tension was like a fog and it was very thick. Kuwabara took out a knife and tried to cut it. " The tension is so thick in here you can't really cut it with a knife."

Yusuke nodded. " You can't really blame them. I mean they have all been at war with each other for years."

Yomi looked at the others. " No need to worry. I didn't set any traps or anything. The room is perfectly safe. Not even I would be stupid enough to try to slay my to be allies."

Raizen wasn't so sure about that so he moved down a few chairs out of the reach of Yomi. Mukuro did the same distancing himself from the other two. Kurama and the others took their seats near by each of the fighting kings just in case something caused an argument. Yomi began to speak when everyone was situated. " I take it you have all been informed with the situation at hand?"

" Yes I was. First off I would like to know why you were the one to call this meeting. How can we be certain that you aren't in league with this Karuru demon I heard about?"

Mukuro nodded. " Yes how can we be sure of that. You are the only one who wants to mess with the human and spirit worlds Yomi. How can we know if you don't have hidden motives?"

" My dear friends I would never do anything like that. It is important if the three of us work together on this. You need not concern yourselves. I have no hidden motives that would cause concern. This meeting is all about good faith."

Mukuro and Raizen both had doubtful faces. Neither trusted Yomi in the slightest. Yomi could sense this about them but didn't say anything further.

" Now then shall we commence with the planning?"

" Very well." Mukuro stated, " What is it you suggest we do?"

" Well first off we should have look out teams go out and try to locate this demon lord. Then we can gather information that would help us plan our next move. Once we have all the needed information we should gather our forces and strike. That would be our best bet." Yomi said.

" I would have to disagree." Raizen said, " That could lead to problems later on in the future. You as well as everyone here knows that our three armies can't work together in harmony. Especially with yours Yomi. Mukuro and I would have a better chance then with your army along. Besides putting our problems aside who knows what trap this demon lord has set for us. He could already know about this meeting and what we are going to do. Therefore he could be planning a defensive or offensive as we speak."

Mukuro nodded. " I must agree with Raizen. We must not take this demon lightly."

Kurama cleared his throat. " If I may?" He questioned Yomi.

Yomi nodded. " Go right ahead. This is an open meeting."

Kurama nodded and started to speak. " I am in agreement with both Raizen and Mukuro. Karuru and Kururi have many ways to keep their eyes on us. As you must know by now Kururi can manipulate anyone in a given area around him. Lets not forget that Karuru has the spirit sphere in his possession. This makes him an extremely powerful enemy. Anyone who gets near him would either be killed on the spot or brought under his army under mind control."

Unknown to them Kururi was keeping his eye on the meeting. Kuronue who wasn't in the room was being his eyes and ears. Kururi was next to his servant. " What fools they are. They would have to be more careful." He handed Kuronue his scythe. " Go ahead… attack them." Kururi said in Kuronue's ear.

Kuronue started to swing his scythe. The weapon went threw the room and broke a lamp above them. It fell causing the kings to jump up. Yomi looked around trying to find the source of the weapon attack. Yusuke looked over at Sakura. " You guys alright?"

" Yes we're fine… you guys?" Sakura said back.

Hiei helped Mukuro back to her feet. " We're fine over here." Kuwabara stated.

Kurama sighed as he realized what happened. " Kururi is here…" Yusuke and the others frowned. " I should have known he would have come here to the meeting."

The tall demon got defensive as he looked around. " Where is he?"

Yomi concentrated for a moment. " He's gone. I can't pick up his energy. Either that or he was changed his form again."

" Lets get back to the meeting." Mukuro stated.

Everyone took their seats again. Kurama continued where he left off. " The best thing for us all is to keep our wits about ourselves. Also it wouldn't hurt if we all tried to gather our forces. I will do what is needed to gather information."

Yusuke interrupted him. " Hold up Kurama. We can't risk you as well. Its bad enough Kuronue is under that freak demon's spell."

Sakura raised her hand. " Can I say something?"

Raizen looked at the young servant girl next to him. " Go right ahead Sakura…"

" I was thinking, if it is so risky to go to them… why don't you let these demons come to you."

Kurama looked at the young girl with interest. " I'm intrigued with your suggestion. Please continue."

" Well, somehow we can make them think things aren't going well and somehow we can make them come here and show their hand. Since we are larger in number we could perhaps weaken their army and give us the upper hand."

Yusuke couldn't believe what the young girl had said. " Man Kurama. I think this girl could be your rival as far as thinking goes."

Kurama smiled. " That sounds like an idea. Anyone have any problems with this?"

Yomi smiled. " This does indeed sound like a plan. I must say Raizen you do pick your subjects rather well. She is a smart one I'll give her that." Yomi then turned his attention to Mukuro. " You have any issues over this battle plan?"

" None at all. I think it's a marvelous plan. We must all work together to make this work."

Raizen nodded. " Agreed."

Kurama stood up. " Then that will be our plan of attack. Yusuke and the rest of us will keep a close eye on all three of you as well as the perimeter around the palace. We are not out of danger yet… beware of any traps that Kururi may have set."

Yomi stood up as well. " Then this meeting is dismissed. Lets all enjoy ourselves in a feast in the honor of our new alliance."

To be continued….
