Chapter Twenty-Three: Beeping Pants and A Portal

"Anyways, to get to the real subject, where the hell is Sesshomaru? Or are you talking about Sesshomaru? Confused yet? Anyways, where is it? You're hiding something from me and I know it."

"Uh, no, you're just paranoid." Kari told her and the two of them got into another argument. Kurama, Hiei, and Yusuke just watched the three of them while Toga was muttering about his sunglasses as he removed them from his front pocket only to find them to be broken. Suddenly, a beeping noises and they all went quite. The beeping noise was coming from Yusuke's pocket so everyone looked at him. Kari raised an eyebrow. "Hey, Yusuke, your pants are beeping."

Yusuke ignored Kari's little comment as he reached into his pocket and pulled out his commicator. Kari and Rei looked at Yusuke funny before they burst out laughing while pointing at him. "YUSUKE WEARS MAKE UP!" Both of them yelled out before going back into hysterics. Kuwabara and Toga soon joined the two. So now the four of them were laughing at Yusuke while he was giving them death glares.

They only stopped when the communicator beeped again causing them to look at it. Toga and Kuwabara stopped laughing completely while Kari and Rei just stiffled their laughter. Yusuke gave the twins one last death glare before he opened the communicator. Koenma appeared on the screeen and he look pissed.

"How long does it take to answer your communicator?!?! (Yusuke: Shut up, diaper breath.) Don't call me that!!! Anyways, we have a mission for you and the others. You are to go to the Makai and retrieve a package for me." Koenma told them. Kari and Rei just looked at the communicator for a second before they busted out laughing again.

The two twins began to walk off but was soon stopped by Koenma's voice. "I have a couple more things to say. The portal to the Makai will be in Kurama's backyard. Kari and Rei will also go with you so that they can train to become Spirit Detectives along side you five. Toga and Kuwabara, you two won't have to go but it's your decision."

With that, Yusuke closed his communicator and shoved into his pockets then looked at the others to only find that Kuwabara and Toga had taken off so that they didn't have to go on the mission and Kari and Rei were complaining.

"Who said that we wanted to become Spirit Detectives in the first place?!?! We don't want to become Koenma's lapdogs!!!" Rei complained while she began to shake Yusuke's shoulders. Kari shoved her out of the way and smirked at the three Spirit Detectives. "Rei's right. The three of you are Koenma's lapdogs. So, how does it feel to be bossed around by a toddler?"

Yusuke hit her in the head with his closed fist while Hiei hit her in the head with the sheath of his katana. Kurama just stood there sweatdropping. It was going to be one interesting mission. After a few more fights and arguments, the five of them were outside school without even telling anyone that they were leaving with Kurama leading the others to his house. "Hey, why is the portal at Kurama's house?"

"Because my mother works during the day and none of the youkai in the Ningenkai would look in my backyard for the portal. It would be at Genkai's but my house is closer to the school." Kurama explained. Kari came up beside Rei and began to nudge her in the side with her elbow. Rei just looked at her with a questioning gaze and her twin sister sighed then gave her a mischieveious smile. "So, is it true, Rei? You know about the whole thing with ou and Kurama dating. Is it true? Are you two a couple?"

"What's that? Kurama and Rei are going out?" Yusuke asked with a huge smile. He walkedup beside Kkurama and patted him on the back. "Nice going, Kurama! Got yourself a woman! You sly fox! Just don't get Kari and Rei mixed up and accidently try to sleep with Kari!" Yusuke told him then laughed to himself. He was soon met the swift pain of two fist crashing down on to his skull. Behind him stood the two twins with their cletched fists at their side ready to hit Yusuke again if he had another comment. Kurama looked at the scene sweatdropping and slightly blushing from what Yusuke had said. Rei scoffed as the group continued their way towards Kurama's house.

"And the answer to your question is no. Kurama and I aren't going out. No offense to Kurama but I just met him last Monday and I actually got to get to know a guy before I start dating him. Anyways, everyone at school thinks that we're going out only because Kurama told Maya that so that she would leave him alone. I'm just going along with it cause I love to make that prep pissed. After a while, Kurama's going to quote dump unquote me. He will keep his status and I will become the girl that was dumped by Kurama and everything will go back to normal. Isn't that right, Kurama?" Rei asked him not even taking the time to look at him as she kept her attention in front of her, avoiding everyone else's questioning gazes. Kurama nodded his head with slight reluctance. "Yes, Rei, you are correct."

"You guys are no fun!" Kari said with an exhausted sigh. Rei rolled her eyes at her sister's comment then nudged her in the side with her elbow. "But what about you and Yusuke? Are you two a couple?"

"Oh, yes, you know it." Kari said sarcastically before the two girls burst into hysterics. Yusuke just looked at the two confused while Hiei stared off into space and Kurama kept his attetnion in front of him. Finally after a good five more minutes the group of five arrived at Kurama's house that he shared with his mother, step-father, and his younger step-brother. They went into the back yard where the swirling vortex they called a portal stood. Yusuke and Kari easily went into the portal. Hiei and Kurama waited for Rei to go through but she just stood there with wide eyes staring at it. Hiei glared at her. "Onna, what are you waiting for? Go through the portal so we can get this mission over."

"NO! There is no way I'm going through that portal! Just look at it! Who knows if it will go to the place you want it to go or if it will send you into nothingness. I'm not going into that stupid portal and you can't make me." Rei told them as she began to back up, about to turn and run away. She turned and was about to run, when Hiei stepped in front of her. The two of them exchanged glares before Hiei suddenly picked Rei up over his shoulder then began to walk over to the portal. Rei began to stuggle against him. "No!!! Hiei, put me down right now. Don't you dare try to take me into that thing!!! Hiei, put me down now!!!"

"Onna, be quiet. You're going through that portal whether you like it or not." Hiei told her before he jumped into the portal. Rei closed her eyes and held on to Hiei for dear life. She felt him slip away and it felt like she was floating in air or something like that After a while nothing happened then she heard laughter. That's when she noticed that she was laying on her back. She slowly opened her eyes and saw that Hiei was laying on top of her, his head resting beside her own. She instantly began to blush and tried to push him off but noticed that he was unconscious. Rei turned her head and saw that Kari and Yusuke were standing a little ways off laughing their heads off. Kurama appeared out of the swirling vortex and saw them. He hurried over to her and Hiei and began to try to pull Hiei off of her. "Hold on, Rei."

Kurama was about to pull Hiei off of her but something suddenly happened. Hiei's arms went around her and pulled her close to him so that now he wasn't able to get pull off of her. Rei's blush deepen as Yusuke and Kari began to laugh even more. Rei began to poke Hiei in the head to see if he was alright but he was still unconscious. Kurama stopped trying after a while and gave Rei an apologzing look. "I'm sorry, Rei, but I don't think that Hiei's going to let go of you so that I can pull him off of you. We just have to wait until he regain consciousness."

"HOW THE HELL DID HE LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE FIRST PLACE?!" Rei asked as her right eye began to twitch as her face turned red as a tomato from both anger and embarassment. Kurama sweatdropped and laughed nervously. "While you were struggling against him, you must have hit him hard in the head thus knocking him unconscious."

Rei groaned and hit herself lightly in the head. It was her fault and now she was suffering because of it. So, Kurama leaned against a nearby tree while Kari and Yusuke started their own little conversation as they waited for Hiei to regain consciousness. Now that Rei got to look around, she saw that they were in a forest but the sky was a different color. It was sort of a sea green color. She took it as a sign that she was now in the Makai, the Demon World.

Suddenly, she felt the grip of Hiei's arms around her loose and she heard him let out a soft groan. Rei looked over at him and saw that his nose move slightly and his eyes flew open. The two of them stared at each other before Hiei began to growl and give her a death glare. Kurama noticed that Hiei was now awake and he quickly went over and pulled Rei away from him before Hiei was able to kill her. Yusuke and Kari also noticed the scene going on and went over to them, smiling. "I see that Hiei is awake now. Hey, Hiei, did you have fun sleeping with Rei?"

With that comment, Rei punched Yusuke in the face, her cheeks slightly red. Kari laughed her head off and got a death glare from Hiei in return. The angry fire apparition let out a scoff and headed off into the forest. Kurama sighed and shook his head then followed him. The other three exchanged glances before heading after them. The five of them walked through the forest. After a while they came to a clearing where they found a small village. Kurama turned to the others. "Kari, Rei, you two stay here with Yusuke. Hiei and I will go get the package from the village. If you get attacked, get rid of the youkai and get back to the portal location quickly."

The three of them nodded their heads then Hiei and Kurama took off into the village. Kari, Yusuke, and Rei just stood there at the edge of the clearing talking and teasing each other. You know, the normal stuff that friends do when they had nothing else to do. Suddenly, there was an explosion in the village and Hiei and a guy ran towards them with tons of youkai chasing them. The three looked at the with wide eyes before they quickly turned around and began to run to where the portal was supposed to be at. When they got there, Hiei, Yusuke, and the guy began to figh off the youkai. Some of them got passed them and Kari and Rei took their chance at them. When all the youkai was dead. Kari and Rei turned and looked at the guy. "Who the hell are you?"

End of Chapter

HieiKitty: Wow, sorry about the lateness of updating. I had some ::eye twitches:: problems with my other fanfic. Anyways, can anyone guess who the guy is? Come on, it's so obvious. First of all, Kurama's missing then the guy shows up and Hiei's not killing him. Yusuke and Hiei both know who he is.

Kuronue: You shouldn't be giving it away. Maybe people aren't as smart as you.

HieiKitty: Are you calling me smart? YAY!! Kuronue called me smart.

Kuronue: -.-'

HieiKitty: Don't forget to review! WHee!
