Koenma sat at his desk in his office at the spirit world. Outside it was calm and quiet as always. He turned his chair around so he could look outside at the window. He sighed as he wondered how things could be so peaceful for so long. It had been a while since he had heard from Botan or had any need of his spirit detective Yusuke. It had been a year and he was starting to regret letting Botan stay in the human world to keep an eye on him while he got someone else to take her duties temporarily. Suddenly, something strange happened outside. The sky turned black and a hole appeared in it. A glowing white light of energy flew out at a rapid pace and then headed straight for the window he was staring out of. He jumped away with a shout as it crashed through. The light stopped and focused down in the form of a woman. She was beautiful but also looked slightly old because her hair was pure white. Her skin was pale, her eyes were a glowing white and she wore a flowing white dress.

"W-who are you?" Koenma gasped as he stared at the woman.

"I am the spirit of a seal placed on the door that held in the Black Nights. That seal has been destroyed and soon I will perish. I have come to warn you Lord Koenma that they are loose and headed to the human world. They are after the child who holds the power of their deceased master. If they are not stopped….." she says beginning to fade.

"Then all 3 worlds will be destroyed…" Koenma finished, "But where is the child? I thought the child was killed at birth." He stares at her in confusion as she fades out more.

"No, the child that died was the brother of the girl. She is the real threat to the worlds." The spirit says with a shake of her head. With that she fades out and Koenma is left alone in his office and the sky outside returns to normal.

"The Black Nights….." Koenma echoes in a whisper as he thinks of the catastrophic things to come.

Yusuke walked down the sidewalk with a yawn as he stretched. Things had gotten pretty boring to tell the truth. After his last assignment where he again saved the world, nothing bad seemed to happen. Well, Botan got annoying sometimes always popping up and Kuwabara hadn't changed his mindset of beating him which was also annoying, but other than that the world was fine. Kurama and Hiei stopped by from time to time, Yukina stayed with Genkai who he would visit on occasion, and Keiko seemed to finally get off his case. He kind of missed not doing all his spirit detective things but he was quite happy with a normal life of relaxing. He was headed towards Genkai's when suddenly the ground began to shake.

"An earthquake?" he wondered in surprise as he looked around him. Then the feeling hit him. A huge wave of strong energy blasted around him and disappeared as the earthquake stopped.

"What the hell? I better go see Genkai and quick." he thinks aloud. He runs all the rest of the way to Genkai's to see Botan waiting for him at the front gate.

"What happened?" he asked her as he huffed to catch his breath.

"I don't know but I don't like it. I'm going to go see Master Koenma." she says and he nods. Her oar appears in her hand and she flies off into the sky and disappears. Yusuke continues on into the temple to see Genkai and Yukina sitting together in Genkai's living room.

"Yusuke, something bad has come." Genkai says in a serious tone.

"Tell me something I don't know Grandma." he says with slight annoyance.

"Watch your mouth." she snaps back and goes back to drinking her tea.

"Hello Yusuke." Yukina says with a sweet smile.

"Hi Yukina. Kuwabara coming today?" he asks trying to keep things friendly and light hearted till Botan returns.

"He said he would come today." she replies as she goes into the other room to get another cup of tea for Yusuke. She returns and as she does, Kuwabara and Botan walk in.
