Chapter 3:

Yusuke was unsure of what to say. Yea, this is what he wanted and this is what he and Keiko needed. He glanced at his team furrowing his brow. However, he couldn't make this decision alone. He went to open his mouth to inquire on what his team thought of the deal and the situation, but Kurama beat him to the punch.

"Forgive my rudeness King Yama, but I believe since we are a team you should also take into consideration our concerns as well." King Yama nodded, "What exactly is to become of the girl?"

"Could you elaborate?" King Yama mused clearly interested in the fox's concerns.

"Obviously, you are sending us on a mission, should we agree, to find and obtain the girl. However, it is afterwards that concerns me. I want to know what you have in store for her." King Yama stared at the fox demon for a moment. He knew he needed to choose his next words carefully, however deep down he knew where this was going.

"Once we have detained the creation we will look at an appropriate form of deactivation."

"Are you…" Kurama cut Yusuke off by holding up a hand. The ex-detective nodded knowing now was not a good time to argue with him. Kurama stepped forward his eyes flashing gold dangerously,

"You mean to tell me," his voice deepened as he spoke, "that when you received the girl you mean to terminate her." His statement was cold and held a darkness that even King Yama could not explain.

"Yes." King Yama stated simply.

"Then we, sir, have a problem. As you stated this child has the DNA of Hiei and I within her. If that is the case, then the child would be considered a relative. Am I correct in assuming this?" King Yama nodded slowly, Kurama smiled wickedly, "And that makes you a liar." The king went to open his mouth, but Kurama cut him off abruptly, "Less than a minute ago you fed us a string of lies. You said that if we agreed to this mission then all of us and our families would be protected from harm. Yet, now you change your story by admitting that you, in fact, planned to kill a family member belonging to Hiei and I." The room hushed in awe and even King Yama was speechless. "Now that we have the facts straight, tell me again why we should agree to this so called mission." King Yama took a minute before speaking once again,

"Yes Kurama, it is true I promised protection to you and your family. However, this girl is a deadly weapon created by mistake. She is uncontrollable and therefore a danger upon herself and society. She has the ability to destroy the human world as we know it with the snap of her finger. If the doctor were no longer able to contain the ever growing spirit power within her, then who knows the devastation she could unleash." Kurama snorted at the king's attempt to persuade the fox to his side,

"Your explanation is worthless. You fail, even now, to admit that you have lied to all of us. Who's to say that those other promises you spat were nothing more than lies." The anger welling within Kurama's human body finally won out and within an instant his body shifted to that of Youko. The tall and muscular fox demon now stood boldly and defiantly in front of his group. "Let me make this perfectly clear, until it is agreed no harm comes to the girl and that she is to remain in our care, you can count me out. But know this 'good king', if you choose to ignore my request and continue this mission, whether it be with your former spirit detective or another source, I will be watching and waiting. If any harm befalls her I will kill all those who inflict harm and their commander who gave the order to do so." King Yama growled his voice now coming to a booming yell,

"IS THAT A THREAT YOUKO?!" The fox demon merely chucked at the sudden outburst,

"No," he replied coldly locking eyes with the enraged king, "it's a promise." King Yama growled,

"Kurama has a point…wait, well Youko has a point…whatever, fox boy has a point. You do as he asks or count me out." Yusuke said confidently laughing a little, "Oh and for the record 'your highness' you should know you can't outwit a fox." Yusuke spat the 'your highness' with disgust and disrespect soaking the words. Kuwabara laughed.

"I'm with Urameshi!" He said holding two thumbs up. Yusuke smiled and turned to Hiei who finally seemed to have drifted back to reality. He glanced at Yusuke with his normal cool stare and merely nodded. King Yama was in complete disbelief. He didn't know what to do, let alone know how to re-obtain control over the situation.

"Perhaps," a voice said interrupting his thoughts. He turned to his son, "you should do as they ask." Koenma finished. King Yama looked down debating his current predicament. He knew there was no way out of the situation. Either he agreed to this outrageous predicament and the team would be with him, or he could disagree and would be forced to battle the team. He sighed in defeat. If there was one thing he learned about the team his son created, it was that when loved ones were threatened then there strength increased tenfold and they were nearly invincible.

"I will agree to your ultimatum, on one condition," Youko rolled his eyes, but motioned for the King to state his condition. "If, for what whatever reason, her power becomes unstable and out of control and you all are unable to stop her, then I will be forced to terminate her. As the King of Spirit World I would hope that even you, Youko, would understand that I must consider the safety of mankind first."

"Fine," Youko spat, "But you are only to take her out when we have informed you there is no other way or only if we are all dead."

"Fine. Now, do we have a deal?" King Yama sighed. Youko smirked and glanced back at Yusuke,

"Well detective?" Yusuke grinned at the fox demon,

"Consider us on the case." King Yama nodded and dismissed the group to begin their English Training.
