Two years later

Hina sat at her desk, attempting to focus on her work. Car horns blare outside her window. It's almost summer which means it's almost graduation time. She will recieve her diploma as soon as she finishes her 8-page essay on modern medicine. She wants to be a doctor so she could help others. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and Hina jumped in her seat.

"Shimatta!" she exclaimed as she stood up and walked to her door.

"Hina open up! It's Kayko!"

Hina rushed to the door and came face-to-face with her high school friend.

"Hey!" she said, ushering her two guests.

"Hi. I came by with a favor. Yusuke and I are going out of town and we were wondering if you could take care of Taihen for us."

Hina looked down into Kayko's arms and saw her small son whose eyes and incoming hair was identical to his fathers. Looking back up at her friend, she smiled.

"Anytime! You two know how much I love Taihen."

"Oh, Thank you so much! Your roommate, who, might I mention we've never met, won't mind?"

"He shouldn't have a problem with it. And as for meeting him, not anytime soon. He is out of town now, too."

Kayko handed the three month old over to her friend and set his bag on the couch.

"We'll only be a week. If we are going to be later, i'll make sure to call. Yusuke is bringing up his portable crib right..."

"Itai!" someone yelled from in the hall.

The two women rushed over to the door to see Yusuke sucking on his thumb while leaning on the crib. He looked up and saw his wife and friend looking at him weird. He removed his finger from his mouth quickly, picked up the crib, and went into the apartment.

"What was that about?" Kayko asked.

"I hit the corner rather hard. Sorry." he responded, placing the portable crib on the floor. He faced his friend.

"Thanks for watching him. We didn't want to leave him in my mothers care. You know how she gets and Kayko's parents are taking a well earned vacation. We closed the Ramen shop for the week so you don't have to worry about that.(1) The number of our hotel is in Taihen's bag. At certain times we might not be reachable so leave a message." said Yusuke, placing his arm around Kayko's waist.

"Yes. Thank you Hina." Kayko repeated.

"I already said I don't mind. Now, you two get a move on. He's in good hands, you know that."

She escorted the two of them out the door and closed it with her foot. Hina walked over to her closet and, while balancing Taihen in one arm, opened it. She took out a stroller from the back, she made sure she always had it. Opening it, she sat and strapped him in it and set to work on fixing his crib.

With Kayko and Yusuke

They walked to the elevator hand in hand and entered it.

"Are you sure it's safe to leave Taihen here?" questioned Kayko while looking up at her husband with worried eyes.

"It'll be fine, I told you that. Koenma is keeping an eye on her place and Hiei isn't going on the mission. Koenma assigned him to watch over our son. You don't have to worry, sou?"

"Hai, Yusuke-kun."

They got out of the elevator and exited the building. Walking down the sidewalk, they turned into an alley where a potal awaited them. They entered it and landed in King Koenma's office. (2) Youko Kurama (3), Shuichi, and Kazuma sat in a chairs in front of Koenma's desk while Hiei stood, leaning against the wall.

"Now that everyone is here, let me give you more details about why I asked you here. None of you are Reikai Tantei anymore, but I would rather you go on this simple mission. What I want you to do is go into the Makai and rescue a very important person."

A screen came down from the roof and flickered on. A man with mid-back length braided hair, a short beard, and grey eyes appered on the screen. A growl escaped Hiei's mouth.

"What happened?" he questioned Koenma, facing him.

"He was kidnapped by a powerful band of thieves in the Makai. He possesses a very powerful weapon called the Sora-bou, or Sky Staff. It is able to create potals and summmon almost anything. In the hand of the wrong person, they could do anything. He is being held in a castle west of the Forbidden forest in lower Makai. I need Yusuke, Kazuma, and Kurama to go save him. Kayko and Shuichi, I need your help here in Reikai. Botan has fallen ill and we don't know what it is. Yukina has been trying to help her but all she can do is bring down her fever. I was wondering if you two could search through the books in my library and find out what has happene to her."

"Of course, King Koenma." she said, nodding her head at him.

"And lastly, Hiei. I need you to stay behind and keep an eye on Taihen. As you know, there are demons out there that are trying to kill Yusuke and his family. The reason I want you to stay behind is because you are the strongest and I know you will protect him."

"Who is he staying with?" Hiei questioned.

"Hinagiku."

Hiei pushed himself off the wall and walks out the door.

"Are you ready?" Koenma asked his former Reikai Tantei.

They all stood up. Kayko gave Yusuke a quick kiss on the lips and walked out the door with Shuichi.

"Let's go." Yusuke said, walking through the new potal, closely followed by Kurama and Kazuma.
