Where the Sidewalk Ends


Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei and Kurama made their way to Koenma's office and began to question him when they arrived. They soon found out that Mariah was hidden somewhere in the demon world. "We'll that helps! The Freakin' Demon world is huge!" Yusuke exclaimed. "How are we supposed to find her now?"

"I can't get to her because her signal is being blocked." He stated. "I'm sorry but you should get to looking before it's too late to save her." He waved them off.

"Hold on. I might have something that can help once you get there." He held up a finger and called for Jorge but he never showed up. "Where is that oaf? Ayame!"

"Yes sir?" she melted into the room from thin air.

"Where is Ogre?"

"You mean Jorge?"

"Yes, where is he?"

"I don't know sir, last I saw him was down in the prison." She admitted.

"Damn it! He has a lot of explaining to do." Koenma growled. "When he gets back he'll get just what he deserves."


Jorge jumped as a bolt of lightening ran up his spine. "What's wrong?" Botan looked at him with worried eyes.

"I just got a really bad feeling." He shuttered.


"Okay, tell me how this thing works now?" Yusuke looked down at the Blue hand mirror in his hands. (Haunted Mirror: A device for tracking Spirts)

"Don't you ever listen, Detective?" Hiei Growled.

"Nah, you know I do what I want."

Kurama shook his head and sighed, "Koenma said that it's like the demon tracked only it's for Ferry girls. We take something that belonged to Mariah and place it on the face of the Mirror and it should show us her face and whereabouts." Kurama said. And pulled out a golden necklace with Mariah's name on it, that was found in her room. "Okay here, let me see it." Yusuke handed the mirror to Kurama and watched him carefully as the redhead pooled the necklace onto the face of the mirror.

"Did it work?" Kuwabara asked looking over them at it and gasped when it started to glow. "oooh. Hey, look, that's her!"

Hiei looked up at him dryly and shook his head. "You are so 'smart'."

"Hey, thanks…" he paused, "Hey were you being sarcastic?"

"No, of course not." Hiei smirked

"You did it again!"

"Alright, that's enough. Where is she Kurama?"

"It looks like a small cave, but it's too dark to see." He growled. "This is hopeless."

"No it's not, come on. Let me see it." Kuwabara took it and looked at her. "Hey, she's pretty Hot." He laughed nervously as he got looks from the three of them. "Anyway, there has to be a way it can Show us the way!" he spoke and the mirror started to glow a red color and spout legs. The mirror jumped out of his hands and ran through the forest.

"Hey Kuwabara you did it." Yusuke smiled and paused, "Kuwabara did it?"

"Of course," Kurama smiled almost laughing. "He said "show us the way" it was so simple."

"Well it's getting away so maybe we should follow it."


Botan and Jorge walked through the forest of the demon world, Botan using the demon tracker to find Kurama. "It says they are here in the forest."

"We could be looking forever." Jorge complained and jumped hearing something approach them. "What is that? It sounds fast, and scary."

"I-I don't know." She shivered; the sound of crunching leaves came closer and closer. She screamed when something touched her foot. "It's got me!" She stumbled and fell back shutting her eyes expecting to hit the ground but felt the strong arms of her rescuer. She sighed in relief, "Thanks Jorge." She smiled.

"For what?" he looked over at her and his eyes went wide.

She frowned when she saw Jorge about three feet from where she was standing. "w-who's got me then?" she looked up slowly. Blue eyes met emerald eyes. "K-Kurama." She said his name in a breath.

"Botan! What are you doing?"

"I am so glad I found you! The person behind everything is…" she screamed when the ground started to shake.

"Allow me to reveal the murderer's true identity." Karasu's dark voice rang out from the trees as he appeared before them, holding the Haunted mirror in his hands. "How cute." He smirked as the mirror exploded in his hands with a painful squeak.

"Karasu!" the boys gasped in unison

"That's right. You haven't forgotten about me." He smirked and tossed the broken bits of the mirror to the side.
