Enjoy the chapter!


"So why have you called a meeting, Inazuma?" Mukuro asked the advisor.

Inazuma sat at the head of the table, glancing around at those there. Koenma sat to her right and Yomi to her left. Mukuro was next to Yomi and Hokushin, Raizen's former head general, across from her. Hiei sat next to Mukuro and beside him, in respected order, was Touya, Jin, Suzuki, and Shishi. Across from Hiei was Kurama and beside him was Yusuke, Kuwabara, Rinku, and Chuu. She stood up and pulled the note out of her pocket.

"I was contacted by Takanashi. He is planning a ball in Ningenkai. It will be held in Aberdeen, Scotland the day after tomorrow Ningenkai time."

"And how do you know this?" Kuwabara asked.

"I work inside. Reikai employeed my services about 600 years ago. Not only am I manager of Makai affairs, I am also a spy. Almost 278 years ago I made my way into Takanashi's gang and found out...disturbing news recently...not even the day before Mukuro's assasination."

"And I wasn't informed?" Koenma exclaimed, shifting to his teen form.

"It was an encrypted message. I just finished it. They have a plan."

"Which is?" wondered Yusuke, leaning forward to look at her better.

"They are creating a plan to gather forces and opposers of the Makai monarchy and make an army. They are also leaking into Ningenkai for they have many business on their side. You all would be very suprised at how many humans know of us. What they plan to do is overthrow the throne here, take full control of Ningenkai, then break Enma from his place."

"They could never do that. They could never get that many people on to their side." yelled Koenma.

"He is persistant, though. It must have taken him a while to lay this out." Yomi put in.

"Take a guess at how many supporters they have." Inazuma proposed.

Everyone was silent, contemplating the number.

"How many?" Mukuro asked, fearful that the number was high.

"3.4 billion in Makai and 89.3 million in Ningenkai."

"WHAT!" was the overall response.

"Takanashi has control of over 2 million businesses in Ningenkai. He, also, has many of his men running businesses in other parts of the world. He has connections in Japan, China, the United Kingdom, United States of America, Canada, France, Germany, Russia, and many others. This is very serious. I was informed by him that I am suppose to attend the ball. While there, a meeting on the plan will be held. I will go alone, no one else is to come. It would be too dangerous if one of the Reikai Tantei, Makai guards, or rulers were to attend."

"You can't go alone, what if they find out you told us. You might not be able to fight them all off. And what about after that? They will hunt you down." Rinku argued.

"I will be fine, I promise. Now then, I call this meeting to an end. All of you may return home if you wish. I myself will be going to Ningenkai to find an appropriate costume for the ball."

"Will Takanashi be there?" Hiei asked.

"No. He has matters to attend to here so his right hand man Hikono will play host."

Inazuma stood up, as did the others. Koenma created two portals, one for himself and another for Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, Hiei, and Inazuma. Waving her hand in the air, Inazuma summoned a small purse and change of clothes consisting of baggy black cargos and a red chinese-style shirt. They entered the Ningenkai bound portal and landed right in Yusuke's living room. Thankfully his mother wasn't over, but he sure as hell gave Keiko, his fiance, a surprise.

"Yusuke! What is going on?" she noticed Inazuma. "Who are you?"

"I am Inazuma. I assume you are Yusuke-sama's mate, Keiko. He has mentioned you."

"So you're from Makai?"

"Yes, I am the advisor of Makai affairs, ambassador to Reikai, and Koenma's most trusted spy, at your service, Keiko-san." she bowed deeply.

"Please, just Keiko and there is no need to bow...but could you elaborate on why you refer to Yusuke as sama?"

"Yomi-sama made a proposition that since things are going downhill, unfortunetly, in Makai, that a permanent king be put into power. Yusuke is Raizen's descendant so he will have what supporters are left. I will explain it in more detail later. Alright?"

"Okay."

The two women looked around to find Yusuke and Kuwabara playing video games, Kurama reading a book that appeared out of nowhere, and Hiei sitting on the balcony.

"I believe they were bored." Zuma said.

"Yes."

"Anyway, I need to go shopping for a costume for a ball. Would you like to join me? I could use the help."

"I would love to."

"Mind if I use your bathroom real quick to change?"

Keiko nodded her head and led her down the hall, showing her the washroom. Inazuma emerged a few minutes later in her new clothes with her knee-length hair up in a high ponytail braid and her blue eyes brought out by mascara and eyeliner. She had a hint of glitter on her cheeks and a little bit of lip gloss. Though she spends most of her time in Makai, she had kept up with the human's trends. She entered the living room and found Hiei watching her.

"Would anyone care to come along?" she asked, eyeing the Kajihenge.

"Hn. Where are your scars?"

The others looked up to find no blemishes of any kind nor markings on her skin.

"I healed."

"That fast?" Kuwabara exclaimed.

"I am a demon."

"But what type?" Yusuke wondered

"That is none of your concern."

There was knock at the door and Yusuke went to answer it. Atsuko, his mother, stood there, a small smile on her face.

"Mom!"

"Yusuke."

She hugged him.

"You're sober?"

"I stopped...entirely."

Entering Yusuke's apartment, she saw all of his friends. Her eyes settled on Inazuma.

"Kita?" she asked.

"Atsuko-san. It is good to see you again."

"Likewise. How long has it been?"

"Almost 14 years, I believe."

"Okay, i'm lost. How do you two know each other?" Yusuke questioned, eyeing the two women who were hugging.

"My do you have a bad memory." Inazuma countered, releasing Atsuko.

"He doesn't remember?" she asked her friend.

"Apparently not."

"What the hell are you two talking about!" he yelled.

"Kita use to babysit you and Keiko when you were much younger. She had to move away when you were 6, though."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes she is. Just look at your old albums. The proof is there." she faced Atsuko. "Would you care to join Keiko and me shopping?"

"I would love to. Have you told her yet?"

"I will."

At that, Keiko came out of her room.

"Tell me what?"

"Turns out Inazuma, or Kita, was our old babysitter." Yusuke exclaimed.

"I thought she looked familar. Hello Atsuko. Joining us?"

"Of course."

"Well, we should get started." Inazuma said. "See you later boys."

The three left leaving a dumbfounded Yusuke, an ever-oblivious Kuwabara, Kurama, and a bored Hiei.


Three hours later Inazuma, Keiko, and Atsuko were walking down a street having just finished their shopping. They passed by an alley and Inazuma found an energy spike coming from it.

"I'll be right back." she said, setting her bags on the ground.

"Where are you going?" Atsuko asked.

"Just thought I heard something."

She ran down the alleyway and came upon a demon breaking a human's neck.

"You do know that is illegal." she said, leaning against a wall.

"I have a message from Takanashi."

"Which would be what exactly?"

"Keep a watch over them and there is now a ransom."

"For what?"

"The Reikai Tantei."

"Explain."

"He had us kidnap those close to the detectives and hold them for ransom so that they would have to come to the ball and rescue them."

"Who is left?"

"Why...the ones you are traveling with."

Her eyes went wide and, in the blink of an eye, the demon lay dead on the ground. Inazuma ran to where she left Keiko and Atsuko, but only found their shopping bags. Gathering up all the bags, she ran (more like flitted, like Hiei) to Yusuke's apartment and jumped onto the balcony, startiling Hiei.

"Onna..."

"They are in danger!" she exclaimed, rushing into the apartment.

"Where are Keiko and my mom?" Yusuke asked.

"They were kidnapped."

"What?"

"Not only them, but Botan, Yukina, Shizuru, and Shiori. Takanashi is using them as ransom in order to get you to the ball where he has plans to kill you all for you are the only ones that can stop him." she took a deep breath.

"We have to inform Reikai." Kurama yelled, angry that his mother was taken.

"Yes we do. If they hurt Yukina, I will kill them all." Kuwabara said.

"You all must calm down. They won't harm them...yet. We have to let Koenma know."

Anger was in the air. Hiei's fist was balled up tight. His sister was in danger. If they were to so much as look at her wrong, he would make sure to tear Takanashi limb from limb. He gazed up at Inazuma and, not realizing what came over him, punched her right across her face. She didn't try blocking and fell to the floor. Pain did not register on her face.

"Did you know?" he growled.

"No. I was not informed."

She stood up. Blood dripped from her nose and she wiped it with the back of her hand. Kurama fetched a tissue for her to stop the bleeding.

"There is no need for violence, Hiei." he snapped at his kajihenge friend.

"We will get them back. I promise to all of you." Inazuma looked at each of them. "I will make sure he pays."


Hope you liked the chapter! I have no idea when I will have the next one out. My school work has accumulated greatly.
