Red Roses2: Review responses:

Tomgirl27: Uh, no. I don't think it'll be Yuiko/Kuwabara. That. . . sounds very strange. I don't know why. Maybe it's because it's Kuwabara. And, well, I don't want to let anything leak out, but what do you think about Yuiko/Hiei?

KikyoKurama: Thanks. I'm glad you don't think it's a weird idea. But, Evil inard eating Tellietubies of chaos? WHERE do you people think up these disturbing battle cries!? By the way, what do you think about Yuiko/Hiei?

Red Roses2: Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Yu-Hakusho. If I make anything wrong, it's because I remembered it wrong. I'm doing all of this by memory!

Botan led Yuiko to a different world. All the plants below were yellow and the sky was pink. Mountains were purple and she wondered if anything else was colored differently. "Where are we?" Yuiko asked.

"The Spirit World." Botan replied. Yuiko continued to look around.

"Spirit World." Yuiko repeated to herself. "BTW, where are you taking me?" Yuiko glided closer to Botan so that she could hear her response better.

"We're off to see King Yama. He'll give you what you need to go back to the living." Botan explained. Seeing the curious and blank look on Yuiko's face, Botan continued. "He is the ruler of the Spirit World. He is humongous and it's best not to get him angry. He has quite the temper." Yuiko tried to imagine a gigantic human with supernatural powers in her mind, but she couldn't make it out very well.

"Okay. So, do you work for this King Yama?" Yuiko wondered.

"Yes, being the Grim Reaper and all. Look, there's his palace." Botan answered. Yuiko looked in front of herself and her jaw dropped. In front of her and Botan was a red castle with golden adorations shaped like demons, the door as bright as the gold. It seemed to be floating on a cloud. "This way." Botan led Yuiko into the palace where Yuiko started to walk and Botan got rid of the oar. They walked down long halls, Yuiko continuing to wonder what King Yama looked like. She suddenly started imagining a big, red-faced creature with horns and a big club in his hand. Yes, that seemed a lot more terrifying that what she had thought up before. They soon entered through another door. The girls were now in a yellow room with a desk and a big red chair in the middle. "I have returned." Botan said, bowing. Yuiko wondered if she should do the same, until the chair turned around.

"Bwahaha!" escaped Yuiko's mouth before she quickly covered it, trying not to laugh. Sitting in front of her was a toddler in blue with a big blue hat on. He was wearing a red scarf and had black hair it seemed. "Is this King Yama? I thought you said he was huge, Botan!" Yuiko was able to say before having to stop herself from laughing again.

"No, King Yama is my father. I am Koenma. And I didn't expect you do be so . . . ." the toddler trailed off as though looking for the right word. "Well, let's just say a few people are glad that you're dead. They say that you're a stubborn bully who loves to fight and kills for fun." Yuiko blinked and then her features darkened.

"If you're talking about those damned teachers and those gossipy friends of Keiko's, then of course they would say that. They don't exactly like me. But it is true that I love to fight. I've just never killed anyone, and I'm not exactly a bully." Yuiko corrected. Koenma didn't reply. "Just one question. Aren't you a little young to be taking over ruling for your father?"

"I AM NOT A BABY!" Koenma shouted, getting up on the desk. "I'm thousands of years older that you can ever imagine!" Yuiko looked perplexed.

"Then why are you so short and in a diaper?" the fourteen-year-old asked. Koenma turned red.

"How did you know I'm in a diaper? OGRE!" a light blue ogre came into the room.

"Yes, Koenma sir?" the ogre questioned.

"When I'm done talking with this girl, you must teach her some manners!?" Koenma demanded.

"Of course, Koenma sir." the ogre replied.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. You're not my mother, so you can't make me do anything. I'm just here to be handed what I need to come back to life, whatever it is. That's what Botan said. So are you going to give it to me or what?" Yuiko crossed her arms and started tapping her foot lightly. Koenma fell back into his chair.

"Very well." he grumbled. He pulled out a yellow egg and handed it to Yuiko. She blinked confusedly.

"Er - What is this exactly?" Yuiko asked, taking it into her hand.

"That egg will grow as you feed your soul into it. It can turn into either a monster or something that would not harm you once the egg has cracked. It'll be the mirror of your soul, Yuiko. If you do something bad, it'll change part of itself to fit what you had done. Do something good, and you won't be devoured when the egg hatches." Koenma explained. Yuiko went a little pale.

"O-okay." Yuiko said, wondering if she should put the egg in her pocket.

"Well? Why are you still here? Go away!" Koenma exclaimed, picking up a stamp on the desk, making a gesture as though he was going to throw it. Yuiko tensed a little.

"Ah, thanks for the egg! Bye!" Yuiko replied, running out of the room, Botan following.

"Slow down!" Botan called after Yuiko.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yuiko was now hovering over a building in the living world, breathing in and out, with her legs crossed. "Man, I've heard of impatience, but that was ridiculous!" Yuiko nearly shouted. Botan reappeared next to Yuiko after a few minutes and they hovered in the air for a moment or two.

"So you know, your body will be cremated in five days." Botan announced.

"WHAT!?"

Red Roses2: Short, I know, but I wanted to leave it there. Would be a cliff hanger if I DID own Yu-Yu-Hakusho, and this was what the episodes were REALLY like. But, I don't, and they aren't, so oh well. Okay, that's all for today, and I was wondering what you would think of Yuiko/Kurama and/or Yuiko/Hiei.
