For anyone who doesn't remember Kaisei Sanada, you might want to Get Thee To A Summary. He was Kukoro Sanada/Satou's son. His sister Fubuki is going to be in the story later, too, also using her mother's maiden name. They were only in one episode, right at the start of the Three Kings saga, which should pretty well show that I plan to use nearly every character on the show at some point or another in the fic.

As for Kairi, read A Sister's Search. That's the fic she's properly introduced in. She's my tool for info and stuff that the boys would otherwise have no way (or reason) to know, and a link for other things, but that'll come up later. Don't worry, she's not a fan-girl fantasy and she WILL NOT ever be paired with any of the characters.

I own nothing. Enjoy!

Kurama walked to the diner where he had promised to meet Kaitou. He had no idea what this urgent matter was, but he suspected that it had something to do with the bad vibes around the city.

"Hey you! Wait up!"

Kurama turned to see a boy in a blue jacket and faded jeans running toward him. The boy had a long, light brown ponytail and dark blue eyes. Kurama didn't know who he was. Why was he flagging him down?

"Are you the one they call Kurama?" the boy said, panting for breath as he stopped in front of him.

"How do you know that?"

"I'll take that as a yes. My name's Kaisei Sanada. I'm a Spirit Detective. Koenma sent me to find you."

"Koenma?" 'Then there is something going on.'

"Yeah. He said that you used to help the last Spirit Detective, Yusuke Urameshi."

"That was a long time ago. What would Koenma want with me now?"

"I'm not sure. He just said that he needed to speak to you, and quick."

"I'm not going anywhere, stranger, until you tell me what you know." Kurama could tell that this boy knew more than he was saying. His eyes told him that.

"Look, I really don't know what's going on. All I know for sure is that there are demons hiding all over this town now, and there are rumors about some kind of rebellion. Koenma said that we were going to need some extra help on this one. That's when he said to find you."

"Why would Koenma send a complete stranger to look for me? Why did he not come himself?"

"With all the talk floating around Spirit World, he can't leave the office. He had to stay there and keep an eye on things. Please, just come back with me. He'll explain everything there."

"Fine."

"There's one more thing. Do you know where I could find someone by the name of Kazuma Kuwabara?"

"Kuwabara? Koenma has requested him also?"

"Yeah. He's looking for Yusuke, too, but I don't need help finding him. I know what he looks like."

"Oh?"

"I met him once, when I was little. He came to see my mom, Kuroko, right after they fired him as the Spirit Detective."

"Interesting..."

"Anyway, we have to find them. Koenma didn't know what was happening, but he knew it was going to be big."

"It would have to be for him to enlist help from us." 'Kaitou will have to wait. This business with Koenma takes precedence.'

The two rushed off to find Yusuke and Kuwabara.

At the diner...

Kaitou sat at a table near the window, waiting to see Kurama. He had been plagued by bad dreams and worse feelings lately, but nothing had prepared him for what he saw last night.

'Shuichi, where the hell are you? You need to know what I saw!'

Kaitou tapped his foot impatiently. He hadn't kept in touch with anyone else in the old crew after Kayko and Yusuke's wedding. He didn't know how to contact them any way other than through his former classmate. Genkai was the only other option, but her health was failing her. He couldn't burden her with any bad news. He suspected that her heart couldn't handle it anymore.

He had to tell Kurama about who he had seen in the alley last night.

Hagiri.

He had been walking home from the library late last night. His girlfriend was the librarian, so she had let him stay well after closing time. When he had left, the streets were dark and empty. His girl lived in the opposite direction, so he had been left to walk alone. He sensed a demon extremely close to him. He hid in an alley, behind a pile of empty boxes, afraid the demon may have sensed his psychic energy.

He had watched as the demon, wearing a simple trench coat for a disguise, had ducked into the same alley. He stepped closer to the boxes. Just when he thought that he may have to use his power of Taboo, another human had entered the alley. He and the demon had started conversing. The human handed the demon a small package. And said something else. Kaitou had crawled closer to hear.

"...humans can finally see themselves for what they are. Chapter Black will show them the truth."

Kaitou felt a shiver run down his spine. Chapter Black? It was then that the human turned his face to look back and forth through the alley. When Kaitou saw him, he had nearly screamed, but luckily, he had contained it. Both participants in the meeting had taken off, and after Kaitou had regained the ability to stand and walk without his knees shaking, he had ran home.

He tried Kurama all that night, but there had been no answer. He figured that he had been with his friends, but had no way to reach them. He had waited up all night so that he could call Kurama first thing in the morning. Now, where was he?

Meanwhile, somewhere in Demon World...

"Hey, you guys aren't going to believe this!"

Touya's little sister, followed closely by Suzuka, had come to the tavern to find the rest of their crew.

"For the last time, Kai, I don't give a damn if Stefano DiMera came back from the dead," Touya said, lifting his glass up for another drink of tea.

"Yeah," Jin seconded his opinion. "Since Kurama and that one there figgered out how to get human channels 'round these parts, we've been endin' up with more info on dem damn soaps than the writers've got." This said, Jin returned to his breakfast and the mug of ale he was washing it down with.

"Stefano hasn't come back from the dead in months! Hmph!" Suzuka turned up his nose.

Kairi rolled her eyes. "This has nothing to do with soaps. I just got off the phone with Koto. She said there was some kind of assassination attempt made on Mukuro this morning."

"Say what?" "Huh?" When?" "Who?" The fighters were all shocked, questions spewing from all of them.

"There were these two guys, they came out of nowhere and-"

"Hey! Turn that up!" a man sitting at the bar said to the barkeeper, who rushed to the volume knob on the old TV set that was mounted high in the corner. The news program told everyone the details.

'the men were taken into custody immediately. I repeat, just two days after becoming the ruler of the Demon World, Mukuro has already had an attempt made on her life. Two demons of B class status charged her while on a walk in front of her fortress this morning. Names and further details are not being released at this time. The two were captured and taken to interrogation immediately following the incident.'

A picture flashed on the screen. Two demons, one with yellowish skin and one eye, the other a cat-like creature with purple fur. They were ranting and raving about standing up and how the time was upon us as the guards led them away.

An excited buzz of noise swept over the tavern.

"Why in the name of all that is logical would two B CLASS demons try to take out Mukuro?" Shishi exclaimed.

"It doesn't make any sense. Were they trying to be killed?" Touya asked.

"Mates, if she's got 'em bein' interrogated, gettin' killed is prolly wot they're beggin' for," Chu pointed out.

"Righto Biggie is. They're probly tryin' to off their own hides by now. Still don't make sense though. If she beat out every baddie in that tourney, what made a coupl'a B class boys think they could get the job done?"

"There was something about their demeanor," Suzuka said, tapping a finger to his chin as he thought. "They were captured, but they didn't look like men who had failed..."

"Suzuka's right," Touya said. "They weren't the slightest bit disappointed. They looked like men who had completed their mission. If Mukuro is still alive, and they've lost the opportunity to dispose of her, why did they look so smug?"

The group was confused, but continued to eat their breakfast, deciding that this event had no impact on them. Still, the expressions and words of those men stayed in their minds, lying under other thoughts.

In Mukuro's Dungeon...

"If they only knew...," a purple cat laughed.

"Yeon's gonna be happy with this," his yellow cell-mate replied.

"After the way we planted that thing on Mukuro, he'll give us both promotions."

"Yeah, we'll probably get him to name a city after us."

"Or get bumped up to the top ranks in his army."

"I wonder how long it's going to be before he sends someone to get us out of here."

"Ask, and thou shalt receive."

"You hear that?" The cat asked his yellow friend.

"That sounded like Jetta."

"Correct."

The two turned and saw Jetta, the air sorceress working for Yeon. She wore a long skirt made of white silk. It's sides were split all the way to her hips. Above that, white silk had been wrapped in a criss-cross pattern across her chest, covering only what needed to be covered. Her silver hair fell to mid-way down her calf as she descended to the ground. In her right hand, she held a crystal staff, topped by some mysterious silver orb.

"I was just wonderin' how long it'd take the boss to send someone for us," the yellow beast told her.

"Yes. Yeon sent me for you. He said he hated loose ends. He told me to tie them up for him."

"What?" The two demons backed up to the wall as the orb atop the staff began to glow. Suddenly, they were picked up into the air, and flung into the bars of the cell. This happened repeatedly, until both of their heads had been crushed so badly that they slipped between them.

Jetta walked to them and ran her finger over one blood-coated bar. "That should keep them from talking," she said to herself. She then brought the finger to her mouth, licking off the taste of her latest victims.

"It's almost time for the real fun to begin." She vanished just as quickly as she'd appeared, leaving the men behind for the clueless guards to find...

Yup, I plan to milk that T rating for all it's worth, for once. If I start getting really creative, this may turn into a M rated fic. Anyway, REVIEW TIME! I love getting the reviews more than I like writing the fics lol. Even if they're really short, I still like knowing if you guys like it or not.
