Hi everyone! I'm finally back! Did you miss me? I'm sorry I haven't updated in so long, I kinda had writer's block, but then my friend gave me an idea, so thanks to her.

Here goes…

Yusuke dropped Kuwabara on a pile of dirty clothes. "Oh, you're right, this is yours," he said, letting the manga fall on Kuwabara's head. POP! Koenma appeared just behind Yusuke in his teenage form.

"Hey guys, I'm…"

"Holy cheese! Don't do that! Why the hell are you even here?" Yusuke cried, backpedaling away from the demigod and stepping on Kuwabara in the process.

"Ack! Watch it Urameshi!" Kuwabara yelled, lurching up and throwing a punch at Yusuke. Unfortunately, he wasn't balanced and ended up toppling forward into Kurama, knocking them both back onto the floor and into the wall. The back of Kurama's head hit the wall with a loud smack and he let out a yelp of surprise and pain. Hiei leapt off the windowsill and hauled Kuwabara off his fox. After making sure Kurama was alright, he turned around and slowly advanced on Kuwabara, his glare deadly.

"W-whoa, hey man, I didn't mean to…aww, come on, don't look at me like that…"

Hiei had Kuwabara backed against the wall with his katana against his throat when Kurama grabbed the hand holding the sword.

"Hiei, don't kill him, I'm fine, it was an accident," he said softly, trying to ease the sharp object away from the boy's neck. Hiei glanced at Kurama appraisingly for a moment, then allowed his katana to be moved out of its dangerous position. Hiei sheathed the weapon and returned to his perch on the windowsill, giving Kuwabara a last glance to let him know he hadn't forgiven him.

Koenma cleared his throat loudly. He had thought it best to remain silent during the previous exchange, but now spoke up firmly to remind everyone that he was there and that he was, in fact, their boss.

"Ahem. Guys, Botan couldn't come because of how bad the storm is, (the team thought briefly that it was more along the lines of wouldn't, owing to the large bump on Koenma's head.) so I just came here instead. Your next mission is very important and dangerous. By the way, what were you playing before I got here?"

"Well, we-wait, what?" Yusuke said, looking at Koenma in confusion.

"Weren't you here to tell us about a mission?" Kurama asked.

"Yes, but you can't leave until tomorrow, and I want to know what you were playing," Koenma said, "Actually, seeing as it's still storming really bad, it's best if we all just spend the night here and I brief you tomorrow."

"If the mission could wait, why did you call us here today?" Kurama inquired.

"Er…I didn't want to have to go through the trouble of finding you on the day I needed you all at a certain time…?" Everyone glared at the god, each planning some form of revenge on him for making them waste an entire day waiting for information on a mission that didn't require immediate attention.

"Eh heh. So, Yusuke, why did it take you so long to contact Reiki?" Koenma asked, trying to move the conversation into a less dangerous area.

"Uh, well, let's see….You called me around one, it took me about fifteen minutes to call everyone else. It took Kurama about forty minutes to locate Hiei, then another two hours for everyone to arrive. (Kuwabara was late, due to the fact that he was visiting Yukina and hadn't been paying a lot of attention when he was contacted.) And then…"

flashback

Everybody had finally made it to Yusuke's house. Yusuke had yelled at Kuwabara for being so late, then everyone had gone up to his room to wait for Botan. Kuwabara began reading one of the mangas (which he had brought in an odd show of foresight for this exact purpose) Yusuke and Keiko argued (rather one-sidedly) about how Yusuke should pay more attention to his schoolwork. Kurama and Hiei cuddled and talked about the upcoming mission, interrupting their discussion every so often for a kissing session.

After about an hour of waiting, Kurama broke away from a disappointed Hiei to ask, "Yusuke, shouldn't Botan be here by now?"

"Oh crap, I forgot to call and tell her we were here!" Yusuke cried, jumping up. After digging through various piles of junk, he came up with the compact they used to contact Botan. Flipping it open, he yelled, "Botan! Pick up, I got everybody!"

"Yusuke?" Botan's face appeared on the screen, "Yusuke, where have you been! I called you three hours ago!"

"Er, yeah, I kinda forgot to call you."

Botan sighed, "Alright Yusuke, I'll be there soon." Yusuke closed the compact, grinning appolagetically.

"Sorry about that guys," he said. The storm started around then and had escalated to the point where even Hiei shuddered at the thought of going outside. Everyone sat in silence for a while, then Yusuke suggested 'I never'.

"I see, Koenma said, "So what is 'I never'?" Yusuke gave him a I-can't-believe-you're-asking-me-this look, but explained the rules.
