Hi! It's great to see everyone again!
Yusuke: What are you, a talk show host?
Me: Shut up! I'll say what I want! Hmph. Here's the next chapter, I hope you like it. Oh, would you all check out my latest story? It's a oneshot called Memory. Read the summary on my profile. Thanks to crimsonbloodvampire for reading and reviewing it already.
Kyohana: I'm glad you think I'm keeping with his character, I wasn't sure on a couple of points.
Crimsonbloodvampire: Glad you like the name, I think it's cute.
Black Water-Fox: Missed you last chapter, Yoru is adorable isn't she?
Chapter 7: Two hours!
"Why'd we have to be here so early?" Yusuke yawned, sitting slumped over on the floor.
"Come on, Yusuke, it's not that early." Kurama chided from his place leaning against the wall.
"Kurama, it's nine o'clock, I need my beauty sleep man!" the detective answered, stretching.
"Yusuke, if you went into a coma for three years, your looks wouldn't be any better." Hiei said, smirking when the boy's face reddened at the insult.
Yusuke had been tossing a rock that he'd found somewhere back and forth in his hands for something to do. He stopped playing and threw it hard at Hiei. The demon caught the stone easily and sent it back. It hit Yusuke in the shoulder, powerful enough to leave a bruise.
"Hey! That hurt you know!"
"It was meant to idiot."
Kuwabara had been snoozing blissfully in a corner during the above exchange. Yusuke shot him an annoyed glance, angry that the orange haired kid was sleeping when he wasn't. Yusuke found the rock again and tossed it in the other boy's general direction.
It just so happened that Kuwabara was in the corner closest to the door, and that Koenma had chosen the precise moment Yusuke threw the object to walk through that door.
The projectile nailed him right in the head.
Fortunately for Koenma, Yusuke hadn't thrown very hard, so it didn't cause any damage. Needless to say, however, the demigod was not pleased.
"Yusuke! I swear when you finally die for good, I'll sentence you to limbo!"
"Eh heh, er…"
"Hmph. Botan will be coming to pick you up in two hours to take you to Makai. Here are the wards you'll need. Kurama, Hiei, I suggest that you don't touch these. They are designed specifically for the host demon, and won't work properly on anyone else. They will drain you of spiritual power if you come in contact with them at all. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have paperwork that's piling up." Koenma turned to leave.
"Woah, wait. Two hours! We didn't have to be here for two more hours! Why you-you…" Yusuke broke off, unable to find words or insults worthy of his feelings.
"I didn't think you'd actually come this 'early'."
Yusuke was speechless. Koenma walked out the door. The detective, who had been sitting dumbfounded, snapped out of his daze and followed.

"That was mean, saying I wouldn't be able to arrive on time."
The demigod turned to face him. "Well, actually, I was more worried about Kuwabara. I'm shocked that he showed up. You'd better get back inside, or they'll wonder where you've gone."
"Sure, sure, see you after the mission." Yusuke gave him a quick kiss and scurried back inside.
The next two hours were incredibly boring.
For something to do, Yusuke flicked small pieces of dirt and rocks at the still slumbering Kuwabara. At one point, the orange-haired boy's mouth fell open, and Yusuke started trying to get the little rocks he was flicking into his mouth. He was forced to stop after an hour however, when Kuwabara finally woke up.
He was surprised (and pissed off) to wake up surrounded by debris with a mouthful of pebbles. The screeching scared birds out of their trees a mile away.
That's it for now. Hope you enjoyed it. Sorry it's so short, but I've been a little distracted lately. I'm trying to overcome my writers block for I never and Sugarhigh Universe, and I had to get my new one shot up. I'm also working on a new story, look at Memory for more details. I need some suggestions for it, so if you have any ideas, feel free to share them!
