Recap:

"Idiot! Watch where you're going next time!" Yusuke blustered as he brushed off his clothing. After he was done he finally looked up, "Ka- Kagome?"

…………

"You have a mission," Boton said as she quickly opened a portal in an alleyway to their right.

Spirit World

"What do you want Toddler?!"

This time:

"SHUT UP YUSUKE! I've told you never to call me that again!" Koenma screamed while stamping around on top of his desk.

"Yeah, yeah and yet I still call you it, pea brain," Yusuke muttered while standing with his hands laced behind his head.

Kurama, sensing the beginning of the inevitable argument between Koenma and Yusuke quickly stepped in. "Koenma sir, I'm sure there was a reason for calling us up here."

"Ah, right you are Kurama," Koenma quickly calmed down and jumped back into his seat. He grabbed his television remote and the detectives watched as the screen lowered itself down. "Now, here's the new mission that I have for you. The Lord and Lady of Makai are about to hold the usual meeting of the Lords and Ladies."

"Yeah, so it's a big party by some up tight idiots. Why the hell should we care?" Yusuke huffed.

"I was getting there, Yusuke," Koenma glared before continuing. "Anyways, seeing how all of the lords and ladies of the lands of Makai will be there, and even those who hold lands in the human realm as well, I want you all to be my eyes and ears within the proceedings."

Yusuke snorted, "What not invited?"

"As a matter of fact, no neither my father or myself were invited. This meeting is strictly between the lords and ladies of the lands. My father and I are not in that group and thus we are not allowed at the proceedings. Even though I would like to consider myself to be on good terms with the Lord and Lady of Makai," Koenma explained with a slight amount of annoyance in his voice.

"So what are we supposed to do about it?" Kuwabara questioned.

"Why you will be guards at the castle during the time of the meeting. After all, with all of the lords and their mates in one place the chance of attacks by lesser demons will be greater."

"WHAT THE HELL?!"

"Koenma, I must agree with Yusuke. Won't the lords and ladies know that we are spying for you? After all, it is widely known by those in Makai that we work for you. This is especially true after the Dark Tournament," Kurama inquired.

"Yes, that is most likely. But like I said before, I like to believe that I am on good terms with the Lord and Lady. As such, no harm or removal of you shall happen by any of the lords and ladies present in their house or territory," Koenma supplied as Kurama nodded and continued to look skeptical with the others. "Never mind what you four think or wish to believe. You're going and that's final. So back your bags and as soon as you are done Boton will open a portal for you and then it's off to the meeting."

And so with that and a sweep of Koenma's hand in dismissal the boys went into the portal home created by Boton.

Back in the Human Realm

As the boys appeared on the other side of the portal they found themselves in front of Yusuke's apartment.

"Okay boys, I'll be back here in an hour to take you all the Makai. So don't be late," and with that Boton returned to Spirit World.

Yusuke simply sighed and rubbed the back of his head. "Well it looks like we all better get packing."

Without another word, the three that needed to pack clothing and supplies were off to their separate homes. Hiei in the mean time simply went about his own business, doing what ever it is that he does, until the hour was up.
