Hey all. Life's going better. I helped raise 5 thousand dollars Saturdayat the USC Kentucky football game. My legs are really tired now.

"Reviews?" Draco asked.

Yep. Here're the reviews.

Dra Gan the Dragoniodian King: Thanks. Here's some more.

psycogirl234: Hey, you both agree. Thanks.

Yuki Amida: I guess. Just read and see.

And now the story.

Last Time on CS: Crystal learns about Kurama's past and Kurama learns hers. Then they get summoned to Koenma's office for debriefing on a new mission for them all.

For the rest of the morning, they hung out in the living room. They developed a plan for getting the demon.

"Alright. We will go and lure him to a nearby park. There, you guys will bring him back to the Reikai." Shiara said.

"Correct. Now, let's find Botan. She'll make us a portal to behind the bar." Kurama said.

"No!" I'm not going there ever again!" Crystal yelled.

"Alright. Where else can we go?" Kurama asked.

"Her house." Shiara said.

"The day I let people in my house is the day I become a whore." Crystal said.

"She's not big on sex." Shiara explained in a whisper.

"I understand." Kurama said. "We'll go directly to the park, then. Any problems there?"

"Where is the park?" Kuwabara asked.

"I know where. I'll tell Botan." Shiara said. Botan came flying into the room on an oar.

"Someone call me?" she asked joyfully.

"We need to go to a park in America. Shiara will give you the coordinates." Kurama explained.

"Got it." Botan said. "Where's the park?"

"You know where the bar is? Go two blocks west and one block south." Shiara said.

Botan formed a portal. Kuwabara went through, followed by Yusuke. Shiara went next, then Crystal. Kurama followed, and finally Hiei went through.

Kurama, Hiei, and Crystal landed on their feet. Shiara got up and went to stand next to Hiei, who moved away slightly. Yusuke and Kuwabara got up clumsily.

"What time is it?" Crystal asked.

"About 3:20." Kurama replied, looking at the sun.

"He's at football practice. Every day from 3 to 5." Shiara read from a file.

"Alright. We'll go get him. He'll be here at about 5:30." Crystal said. She and Shiara walked off.

"What do we do until then?" Yusuke asked.

Hiei was already relaxing in a tree. "Find something to do." He muttered.

When the girls came back, Yusuke was hitting his head against a tree, Kuwabara was unconscious, and Kurama was laughing. Hiei was nowhere to be seen.

"Guys, get a hold of yourselves. Jason will be here in 10 minutes." Shiara said. "And will someone find Hiei?"

"Calm down. He'll show up at the last second." Yusuke said. He kicked Kuwabara. "Get up, you oaf. He's coming."

"Everyone hide. Come out when I whistle." Crystal said. The humans hid behind trees while Kurama swung up into one.

Crystal and Shiara waited by a park bench for Jason. Finally he showed up, sweating from the run and the practice. "Hey, gals. What's goin' on?" he asked.

"Nothing. Just hanging out with a couple of demons." Shiara said. Crystal whistled quietly. Kurama stepped out.

He wasn't Kurama. He had golden eyes and silver hair. Fox ears were perched atop his head. The girls acted like they recognized him, though. "You rang?" Kurama asked; his voice deeper than usual.

"Y-You're Youko! Greatest thief in all the Makai! I thought you were dead!" Jason stammered.

"Well, I'm obviously not. And I seem to be doing better than you, Kosaki. I am hanging out with 2 beautiful girls." Youko draped his arms over both girls. Crystal controlled a flinch.

"No! They brought me here!" Jason yelled. He changed. He was no longer a brown-haired, brown eyed boy. He was a demon with black hair that stuck out everywhere and green eyes. Tattoos of tornados had appeared on his arms, which were more muscular and stronger.

Black clouds started forming. Rain was falling in sheets; lightning flashed everywhere. Crystal whistled and Yusuke and Kuwabara came out of hiding.

Yusuke pointed his finger at the new demon like it was a gun. "Spirit Gun!" he yelled. A blue blast of energy blew from his finger.

Jason was never hit. The wind threw it off. It hit a nearby tree instead.

Kuwabara tried attacking with his Spirit Sword, but lightning would strike a few feet away from him every time he tried.

Jason knocked out Yusuke and Kuwabara, then turned to Youko. "It's just us now. Fight to the death, or until someone is unconscious?" he asked, cracking his knuckles.

"A fight to the death. You shall find I have many tricks up my sleeve." Youko said. He pulled a rose out of his hair.

"Typical. Rose Whip, I expect. You are too predictable, Youko. That's exactly how you started every fight I read about." Jason said.

"Crys, come here." Youko said. Crystal hurried to his side.

"Hey! What are you doing!" Jason yelled. They finished talking and hugged. Then Crystal steeled herself and hugged Jason, whispering "Good luck" in his ear.

"What did you do?" Shiara asked.

"You'll find out." Crystal replied.

The battle seemed to go on forever, neither side giving up. Finally, both men were in their human forms. "I think. . . it is time for me to reveal my secret weapon." Kurama said.

"You mean trick? I pulled Crystal's seed off me long ago." Jason laughed.

"Hmm. No. I mean Hiei Jaganshi." Kurama said.

All of a sudden Jason was unconscious on the ground and Hiei was standing behind him. Kurama stepped towards Yusuke and Kuwabara. "They're out cold. Is there a pond nearby?"

"There's on not far from here. But how are you going to carry the water?" Crystal asked.

"I was actually thinking of dunking them." Kurama said, smiling slightly.

"You just love pushing people into water, don't you?" Crystal accused.

"What do you mean?" Shiara asked.

"Nothing. Let's get them to the pond." Crystal said.

Hiei stood guard over Jason while the others woke Yusuke and Kuwabara. Then Yusuke called for Botan.

Yusuke and Kuwabara went through the portal, then an unconscious Jason. Crystal and Shiara went next, followed by Kurama and Hiei.

Alright, that's enough for today. And I know I promised to update every Saturday, but I had to help out my school that day. (No, it was not Saturday detention, volunteer work at the USC Kentucky football game.) Then, on Sunday I started typing this, but I swear I have ADD and I got easily distracted. Then my dad woke up and I had to go with my mom somewhere… so, yeah. I didn't get to it till today, my day off from school.

"Review, please!" Draco calls from my shoulder as we leave.

Sayonara,
