A/N: Here it is! The long-awaited "sequel" to "Kurama's Stalker"! Sorry it took me so long to get it up here; I've been having some technical and laziness problems. Actually, this isn't really a sequel, because you can read this without having ever read "Kurama's Stalker", and it still makes sense. Of course, you can always read "Kurama's Stalker" for an even better grasp of the story… haha. Anyway, this story is a bit different from the original "Kurama's Stalker" – a bit more depth and plot-ness in it, kinda like my story "The End of the World" only better (I'm not kidding!). This is more of an Action/Adventure type of story. Hope you like it, and sorry for the wait! Please review!

I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho, or anything that has to do with Yu Yu Hakusho, nor do I own a laptop, which I want very very badly. Along with rights to YYH. THEN EVERYBODY CAN BE OOC! Just kidding. The day I own YYH is the day the world is doomed.

THE NEXT DAY

Some Guy: Here, CK. You can take all the rights to YYH.

CK: O.O; SWEET!

THE NEXT DAY

Everybody on earth is being forced to watch YYH. The animators and guys who work on the show are following my orders and pairing up Hiei and Kurama and turning the show into a very violent melodrama with random outbursts of "CHEESE!" and "MOOSE!". The world as we know it, is forever doomed…

END

By the way, that never happened…

1. The Affluent, the Poor, the Reclusive, the Solitary, and the Royal

A/N: By the way, my chapter names really suck… as usual… :(


It had been ten years since the end-of-the-year dance at Black Panda High School, and now the Reikai Tantei had split up to live happily with their partners. Ever since the dance, the couples had stayed the same. Of course, there had been breakups here and there, but fate was a stronger glue than temporary angry feelings toward ex-girl-or-boyfriends. The end result after nearly a decade was just as perfect as the day they had the dance.

Nowadays, however, the group had disbanded, as there was no need for a Spirit Detective Team anymore. The Makai and Ningenkai were more or less at peace with each other, or if they weren't, they were just plainly ignoring each other. Koenma, Prince of the Spirit World, had decided to let the team go their separate ways and start their families, which some did right away, yet others were still waiting.

Kurama, who was now permanently called Suichi Minamino except by the rest of the Reikai Tantei, had married his love and previous stalker, Keiko Yukimura, a few years ago. They lived in a part of Tokyo where the wealthier families of Japan resided. Kurama was a Registered Nurse at the local hospital, and Keiko was a teacher's assistant at a very prestigious private academy for gifted students. They were both very happy living in their fairly large house, and they were friends with just about all of the neighbors. They were a very likeable family, and they were invited to just about every block party that was thrown.

There was one thing, however, that the happy couple had yet to do. They still had no children, as they wanted to get off to a good start on their careers before they brought a child into their lives. But with both of them in their mid-twenties, Kurama being twenty-six and Keiko being twenty-five, they thought it was high time they had a child.

"Suichi," Keiko said one night as the two were having dinner.

"Yes?"

"I've been thinking…" Keiko started, playing around with the spaghetti on her plate, "And Suichi… I want to have children…"

Kurama's face broke out into a smile. "Really?" he said. "That's great!"

Keiko smiled too, her face flushing with color a little bit. "Whenever you feel ready," Kurama said, always respecting Keiko and not wanting to rush her into anything, though he wanted very much to have children.

"Okay…"


In Spennymoor, England, a young, poor, married couple lived in an old run-down duplex on the outskirts. The young couple, Yusuke Urameshi and his wife, Botan, had been married for about six years, and they had two children. However, the children didn't live with them. After having their second child, Yusuke and Botan had to send their two children, Michiru, age five, and Talya, age three, both girls, to live with their friend, Luna Minamino, Kurama's unmarried sister. Yusuke didn't have a job at the time; he had gotten kicked out of his last job at Burger Queen for assaulting a customer and punching his face because he ordered a Big Quack instead of a Whupper. Botan, however, had a job at a department store, earning the only income they had to pay for food and rent. When the day came to pay the rent, though, they never seemed to have enough.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kohner," Botan apologized profoundly to the landlord, "but we just don't have the money to pay for the rent this month! Yusuke got kicked out of his last job, so now we hardly have enough money for food, let alone rent, sir. Please, have pity on us!"

"I'm sorry, Ms. Urameshi, but you know the rules. You have to pay your rent every month, or you're outta here. We can't afford to keep riffraff like that here!" Mr. Kohner the landlord argued.

"No! Please, sir, you can't kick us out!" Botan begged. "Please, next time, we'll pay the rent for two months! Just give us a chance; Yusuke will get a job, and then we can pay!"

The landlord seemed to be thinking it over. "All right," he said at last but with a frown on his heavily wrinkled face. "I'll let you go just this once. But next month, you better make up for it by giving me both that month's rent payment as well as this one."

"Yes, sir." Botan bowed.

The landlord left. Botan turned to Yusuke, who was sitting in the kitchen, his feet propped up on the scratched-up wooden table.

"Well?" Yusuke inquired.

"We can stay for another month," Botan replied wearily. "But I told Mr. Kohner that we'd make up for it next month by paying for both this month and next month's rent!"

"What? Botan, we don't have that kind of money!" Yusuke cried, his feet slipping off the table.

"I know," Botan said sadly. "But maybe if you got another job…"

"Forget it, Botan," Yusuke said. "I'm not good enough for a real job, and any other job I get, I just get kicked out of!" Yusuke was angry that he couldn't find a job that suited his interests anywhere. In his second year of high school, he became fed up with it and dropped out. His mother, Atsuko, refused to let him sit around her house all day and kicked him out to live on his own. Shortly after, he decided to run away with Botan. Koenma had let him take Botan to get married; after all, he had Yukina and his many other staff members, so he didn't really need Botan around the office. She was happy with Yusuke, even though he was a high school dropout without a job, and Koenma was happy for her if she was happy.

Botan wrapped her arms around Yusuke's neck and kissed him lightly on the cheek. "Let's not worry about it right now," she whispered. "Let's just forget about our troubles for now…"

"Forget?" Yusuke inquired. "Botan, you do know what day it is, don't you?"

Botan's face looked blank for a moment. "What do you mean?"

"Remember, the kids are coming over to visit today."

Botan's face paled. "Yusuke, we don't have any money to spend on them! No food, anything!"

"I know. That's the problem."

"Oh, Yusuke…" Botan wailed, pressing her face against her lover's. "What are we going to do…?


In the city of Aomori, Japan, there lived a family of three. Very few people knew who they were, and those who did know weren't even human. Hiei and Shizuru Kuwabara (they had kept Shizuru's last name, since Hiei didn't have one, although Hiei was very reluctant to take the surname of his archenemy) and their nine-year-old son, Samaru, lived in a secluded, country-esque area in northern area of the city, surrounded by sakura trees. Shizuru was unemployed, and Samaru was home-schooled by his mother; Hiei made all the money in the family so they could afford food and material items.

Hiei worked a lot in the Makai. He was the business leader of a group of ragtag demon thieves called the "Black Thunder". This group of demon thieves were very skilled and intelligent, earning them the title of "The Best and Most Feared Thieves in Makai". With Hiei as their "manager", he took and distributed the money that they thieves made after selling their stolen items on the human black market. It wasn't a lot of money that they made, but it was enough to keep everyone satisfied.

One member of the Black Thunder, a shape-shifting demon named Sanyo, was a professional assassin as well as thief. One dark night, Sanyo asked Hiei to do something he had been planning for a while…


"Hiei-sama," Sanyo hissed in a dark forest deep in the Makai.

"What is it?" Hiei replied monotonously.

"Hiei-sama, I need your permission," Sanyo said.

"To do what?" Hiei wanted to get home to his family, and he didn't have time to pay attention to his thieves.

"As you know, I'm an assassin," Sanyo started.

"Tell me something I don't know, Sanyo. You're wasting my time."

"Sorry, master. But, I would like to have your permission to take some time off—"

"What for? Vacation? No."

"No, sir, not vacation. Business. I want to kill our rival."

"Rival?" Hiei questioned.

"The best thief in the Makai next to us," Sanyo replied. "Can I kill him?"

"Who?" Hiei asked, ruby eyes narrowing. He shook his head. "Ah, never mind, it doesn't matter. Fine, go ahead, just don't take too long." He glanced up at the moon above in annoyance, irritated that he wasn't sitting at home yet.

Sanyo broke out into an evil smile. "Yes, sir. It won't take long at all…"


Kazuma Kuwabara, age twenty-five, locked up Dobinz Prison in Eastern Massachusetts. He had moved to America after his sister left off with Hiei. He was unmarried, but shared an apartment with a couple of kittens who were very friendly. In America, he was a prison guard at one of the most heavily-guarded prisons in New England. Dobinz Prison was full of convicted murderers, robbers, and rapists, and every day had something new for Kuwabara to deal with. His job was to lock up the cells, break up fights, and occasionally serve the prison food if needed. He was happy with his job; it was never boring. Especially since a group of new prisoners came in. New prisoners were always fun at Dobinz…

"Hey! Watch it, buster, that's my bran muffin you're shoving in your pocket! Don't think I wouldn't notice that, now gimme back my food!"

"I don't think so, fatty! You don't need no stinkin' bran muffin anyway!"

"Yeah? Well yo momma don't need it, either!"

"Whatchoo say abou' my momma?"

"Yo momma so fat even Bill Gates couldn't pay for her liposuction!"

"Oh, oh, so it's a joke-off, you want, mister? Well, bring it on!"

The two new prisoners were circling each other, glaring each other down with looks of intense hatred in their beady little eyes. Kuwabara then stepped in between the two of them, waving his nightstick at them, yelling, "Break it up, break it up! Both of your mommas are so stupid, they gave birth to you shitbags! Go back to your tables!"

Kuwabara walked away from that fight, shaking his head and chuckling under his breath. Never a dull moment here…


ONE WEEK LATER…


"Koenma-sama! Koenma-sama!"

In the Spirit World, Reikai, Koenma sat in his office, stamping papers as usual. While the rest of the Reikai Tantei had changed so much, Koenma stayed the same. He was still Prince of the Spirit World, still stamping papers all day long, and he still had that annoying blue ogre, Jorge Saotome, as his personal assistant. The only different thing was that Yukina had been added to the royal family. The two of them had gotten officially married about five years ago, and now they both lived in Reikai. Yukina had taken over Botan's job as a grim reaper since Botan had left to marry Yusuke.

"Koenma-sama! Koenma-sama!" Koenma's ogre was shouting.

Koenma shifted his papers and looked up at the frantic ogre. "What is it?" he asked, annoyed.

"Here," the ogre handed Koenma a piece of paper with Yukina's handwriting on it. "It's from Yukina, and I don't think it's a love note, sir."

Koenma glared at the ogre, then broke the seal on the envelope and read the letter. His eyes widened. "A… demon…" he gasped. "Escaped… from a human prison…"

"It's been a while since we had trouble with demons, hasn't it sir?"

"Yes. A very long time…" Koenma set the letter down on the desk. "I wonder… why now…?"

"Maybe we should get the old Spirit Detective Team back together for this," the ogre suggested.

Koenma wasn't sure if he wanted to do that or not. He knew that the team all had families to take care of and important jobs to go to. Maybe the demon was just a weakling and one he could get rid of with someone else. "We'll see," he said, putting the letter back inside its envelope and putting it into a desk drawer. "If worst comes to worst, we will bring out the Reikai Tantei once more…"


A/N: And that was the prologue. Woop, woop, interesting, I know. Please review, the story gets better, of course! We're only on chapter one! Again, thanks for waiting, sorry about taking forever to get this up here… PLEASE REVIEW!
