A/N: um… yeah… hmm….

Disclaimer: I do not own Yuyu Hakusho. If I did, I would know what freakin channel it was on.

"Hey! Kurama! Hiei!"

"Wait Up!

"The bakas are here." Hiei muttered.

Kurama didn't respond, just turned around to wave at his friends. Kuwabara tripped Yusuke, who pulled him down with him. They began to argue for a few minutes, and then noticed that Kurama and Hiei weren't waiting for them. They caught up and…

"AHH!"

"Ow!"

"Hn."

"Korenma!" Yusuke yelled.

The toddler demi-god seemed not to have heard them and continued stamping.

"Koenma!" Yusuke yelled again.

More stamping. Kurama noticed the little vein sticking out of Koenma's head and that his hat covered his face in annoyance.

"KOE-" Kurama covered Yusuke's mouth with his hand.

"Koenma, did you have a mission for us?"

"Why yes, I did. You know, a little courtesy wouldn't kill you, Yusuke."

"Just get on with it."

"Right. Well, we have al little problem. Recently, the entire clan of dark demons, notice I don't say shadow, has been murdered. There are only two survivors. The first is the main family's third daughter, Jun." The screen flickered and a pale shorthaired woman came into view. "She appears to have none of the talent that was supposedly passed down to her, but that's to be expected. This clan was a particularly peaceful one…"

"So in other words, they were all too weak to stop their murder." Hiei said bluntly.

Koenma sighed. "If you must think about it that way, yes. Anyway, she's still a carrier and needs protection. And the other… well, I'll explain her to you when you get back."

"Get back?" Yusuke said suspiciously.

"Botan."

"Bye now!" they heard their caseworker's cheery voice before toppling into a portal.

"AHH!"

"Ow!"

"Hn."

"Botan!"

"Well, I suppose we should get going."

"Damn Koenma didn't give us directions! Where the hell are we supposed to go?" Yuske said, still angry at their hurried departure.

"Yusuke, I think we're here." Kurama said, pointing.

"Huh?"

He whirled around to see a small wooden cottage. A stream of smoke wafted into the air and burned the demon's sensitive nostrils. Kurama knocked on the door. He got a vague sense of déjà vu as an old balding man stepped out of the house. He mentally shook himself.

"Hello, sir. We're here to retrieve…"

"I know what yer here for, and you can take her. Whiny little brat." He mumbled, allowing them inside.

They entered the one-room cottage and instantly saw the woman they were looking for. She was standing in the middle of the room, expectantly her big brown eyes smiling at them. Her short white hair was pulled back into a small ponytail. She had a silver kimono on that revealed too much cleavage and hugged her cures tightly. Kurama had to silence Yoko when he saw her before speaking.

"Hello, miss. Are you Jun?"

She nodded. "Yes, thank you so much for brining me into your protection. Koenma said you would take good care of me."

"We will!" Kuwabar said in his rough, idiotic voice.

"Oh thank you, kind sirs."

"Let's get going, this boring." Yusuke said, stomping out of the house.

Kurama extended a hand to Jun. "This way, lady."

She giggled and took his hand. When they stepped through the portal and into Koenma's office, the toddler man actually stopped stamping for a moment to look up at them.

"Back already? Good. Hello, Jun, nice to see you again."

"Nice to see you too, Koenma, sir." She said sweetly.

A light blush crept across the baby's face, which was quite strange looking. "May I offer you a seat? George!" The blue ogre came scurrying in with a black chair.

"Hey! Why don't we ever get a seat!?" Yusuke yelled, a vein throbbing in his head.

"Quiet, Yusuke. Anyway, the next woman you'll have to retrieve probably won't go quietly. She is as close to a witch as demons come. She is Jun's cousin. She is cold, ruthless, a bloody fighter…"

"And she's standing right behind you." A cool voice said.

Everyone gasped (except for Hiei). A dark woman had appeared out of nowhere. Kurama's eyes widened. He could hear Yoko gasp inside his head, No.

A/N: Yeah, yeah, I know. The story is moving too fast, but don't worry, there was no other way around it. I know it was a short chapter, but if I didn't end it there, the chapter would have gotten your hopes up for another big chapter, so sorry. Review!
