Disclaimer: I don't own the Yu Yu Hakusho characters. PeopleI do own in this chapter: Yokiko, and Yori, Geru, Igori (the last three were random namesfor supporting characters so if any of you have or know characters with such names then it is entirely coincidental thank you very much). Oh and Sayaka appears here (i'm not even sure if that's her name but she was the one Koenma sent to watch Urameshi while he and Botan were running around ningenkai, she was the little blue haired kid, Urameshi i think wasn't revived yet... hey just a reminder i'm functioning on memory here and my memory can be a little foggy...)

Chapter 2: Beginnings
As soon as Yokiko's form disappears through the door, Koenma screamed, "Ogre!"
One of Koenma's underlings appeared. "Koenma-sama?"
Koenma starts scribbling furiously on a piece of paper then irritated, hands it to Ogre. "I need this as soon as you can find them." Ogre looks over the list slowly. Koenma jumps and kicks him in the head, "Now move it, I don't have all day!" Orge scrambles out the door and looks over the list of documents Koenma wanted him to retrieve.
Koenma stares at nothing in particular. Seven years, she was gone forseven damn years. He mulled over that bit of information. Whatever is up it must be serious enough for her to return. And what the hell does have to do with Yomi? He could withhold the information until she told him what her purpose was, but he couldn't he owed her. He owed her big.

Yokiko returned to her room, a yanked out her weaponry from the confinements of her bag. "What to use? Oh what to use?" She chanted to herself, as she examined her weaponry which consisted of a katana, wakazashi and tanzo. She tied her hair up into a pony tail and took a piece of black cloth and covered it over her nose and mouth. Yokiko grabbed her tanzo and attached it to her thigh, repacked and concealed her weaponry then exited the guest room.
As she crossed the courtyard, Yokiko heard the war cries and a lot of cursing from the dojo up ahead. Yokiko stopped at the door way and closed her eyes,she focused to further suppress her spirit energy to near ningen level. Then she entered the room.
She studied the scene before her. A lot of the people in the room were Rei Kai Tantei's or Spirit Detectives training their wards which were the new recruits who apparently were to show potential.
"Hey, you there," one of the Tantei called. Yokiko looked at him, Low Class A, most likely anewly promoteddetective, she speculated. "What are you doing here, human?" He asked as he towered over her.
Yokiko smirked at his referral to her as a human, "I want to fight please." She stated in a little girly voice.
The detective laughed, "Hey, Yori," he called at another cursing Tantei not to far from them.
"What the fuck is it, Baka?" He replied, "Igori, you damn better win or my fist is the last thing you'll see you little twit." He threatened his ward who was currently in battle with another recruit and badly getting himself kicked in the butt. Yori made his way towards them. Another Low class A, Yokiko silently assessed.
"So what is it, Baka?" Yori asked.
"I told you to stop calling me baka, Baka!" The man retorted. "This little ningen is lost. She says she wants to fight."
"Is that so?" Yori said as he place his face inches from Yokiko's. "You wishing for an early grave girl, even Igori can beat the stuffing outta you. And he is one pathetic twit. Why do I always have to get stuck with weaklings?" He whinned to Geru turning his attention from Yokiko.
"So does that mean I can fight him, sir?" Yokiko replied politely in a little girlish voice.
"Hah, why not?" The man name Yori replied. "Igori, get your butt over here now!" He yelled at the combating young man as his opponent landed another blow to Igori's abdomen. Igori scrambled to Yori's side perhaps even glad to get away from his match.
"Yori-sama?" The blue eyed wincing teen asked.
"I want you to fight this little ningen." Yori told him. "And you damn fucking win, you baka, or I'll beat you until an inch of your life. This is already a ningen you little twit." Then slapped Igori at the head.
Igori nodded and walked to one of the empty fighting areas. Yokiko followed the limping, wincing young man. "Bet she wouldn't last one minute, Geru." Yokiko heard Yori whisper to the other detective. Well, we shall see who wouldn't be lasting one minute.
Igori was a head taller than her. He had black hair and blue highlights, well built and his spirit energy, Yokiko gauged, was at a High Class B. Probably hoping to work his way up to class A, she mused.
"Let's fight, just try to defend yourself, girl." He snarled as he referred to her tanzo. Yokiko nodded her reply but did not unsheathe her weapon. Igori was surprised a bit but moved into a fighting stance. Yokiko did the same, this will be fairly easy, she told herself
Igori made a move to attack, Yokiko waited side stepped him and in one smooth circular motion kicked him square at the back hitting his vertebra but not breaking it. Igori fell forward and started slithering and cursing in pain. Yokiko stood over him, then looked up at Yori and Geru. The two detectives were stunned. Yokiko raised her hand and waved at them. Geru held out his palm towards Yori. Yori grumbled as he handed Geru his bet.
Yori clapped his hands. All the fights in the dojo stopped. Yokiko looked around wondering at what they plan to do next.
"The one to beat her gets the next mission off but fully paid." Yori announced to the trainees then lit a cigar and place it to his mouth. Yokiko raised an eyebrow. She was well trained, her skill in martial arts is legendary that even using a Low Class D spirit energy level would be able to pull off a victory just using her fist. Of course none of them knew that since none of them recognized her yet.
Yokiko stood prepared as suddenly the recruits rushed at where she stood. She smiled. Then rushed to meet the forty rookies. In a few minutes majority of them were down and unconscious. Only two remained, a yellow spike haired male and brown haired one who were now slightly bruised from her earlier blows.
They both rushed at her at the same time. Yokiko waited for them, she concentrated her attack on one and defended herself from the other. The blonde male had a good defense against her weak attacks, Yokiko decided to kick it up a notch a bit. The blonde fell after two carefully formulated moves. One remained and Yokiko didn't give it much thought, she rushed forward and soon he was unconscious at her feet.
Yokiko bowed formally signifying the end of the match. She turned towards Yori and Geru then again waved at them. The cigar in Yori's mouth fell off unnoticed. Suddenly in the far eastern wall of the dojo and giant screen came down.
"What the hell happened here!" Koenma screamed as he surveyed the aftermath of Yokiko's exercise. Geru pointed at her. Koenma's eyes met hers. The prince sighed in resignation. "Exercise." Koenma concluded.
Yokiko nodded, "Didn't even break a sweat." She taunted.
"Yori!" Koenma screamed, "clean this place up!" Yori and the rest of the Tanteis scrambled to search for their fallen wards. "You in my office." Koenma told her then the screen retracted.
Yokiko started walking towards the dojo's doors stepping over a few bodies, a few feet from it a blue hair girl in a kimono entered. The blue haired little girl stopped in front of her looked into her eyes. "So it is true, you are back." she said. Yokiko nodded, Sayaka smiled. "Welcome back Yokiko-chan!"
Yokiko cringed as the activity in the dojo suddenly stopped. All the spirit detectives stared at her.
"Oops," Sayaka said, "was that a secret?"
Yokiko sighed, Sayaka was the one sent by Koenma to be his eye in certain situations in the past. She appears as a child but Yokiko knew better. Sayaka pretty much was like Koenma who had another older and more mature ningen form. "Thank you, Sayaka." Yokiko replied to her greeting.
"You," One of the detectives called at her. Yokiko turned to meet his gaze. Then suddenly he threw a light energy ball at her. It was targeted at her face and it was a very weak that Yokiko didn't bother evading it and only burned the black cloth she used to cover the lower part of her face.
Yokiko merely studied their faces and their reactions then turned towards the door and started walking away, very much amused.
Yokiko walked into Koenma's office. He was hidden behind a mound of paper work. He was busy grumbling behind it that he didn't notice her enter.
"You rang?" Yokiko startled Koenma that he ended up knocking a pile of paper off his desk.
"Don't you ever knock!" Koenma yelled at her.
"I did yesterday." Yokiko replied matter-of-factly.
Koenma grumbled a bit more then handed her a folder. "Here." Yokiko took and surveyed its contents. It contained the last sightings of Yomi. Too bad the last sighting was three years ago. Yokiko then looked over the list of demon lords. She closed the folder majority of the information she already anticipated.
"Thanks, Koenma," The prince grunted his reply. Yokiko walked out his office with the folder in hand.
So it begins. Yokiko thought as she entered the corridor, she had to turn into the detective she once was to search for the answers she needed.
