Chapter 4

First Mission.

What the Hell was that?!

Now that Yusuke has proven himself to Kohana she has taken on the alliance. No activity on Daiku has been made, so they all have been taking it easy occasionally training to make sure they don't get lazy (cough Yusuk ecough). While those were out training, our dear Hotaro was having trouble at school. It seems Shuichi's fan girls have had enough of the two in each other's company.

"This has gone on long enough! A person of your low standards has no right to be around OUR Shuichi. You have two options: Either leave Shuichi alone or answer to us." A brown haired girl named Umi said.

Hotaro sighed heavily, these girls just don't quit. This is the fourth time they've approached her with this threat and she's ignored them every time. 'How troublesome. They just don't understand that he's not interested in them. How sad.' "Well I guess I have no choice then. I choose neither. None of you have the right to tell me I can't see someone just because you're in love with him, a normal guy wouldn't give you a second look. Man why he puts up with any of you is beyond me. He's just too nice." And she just walked off with all of them gaping at what she just said. 'Man I don't understand him sometimes' she 

thought as she rounded the corner and speak of the devil and he shall appear as Shuichi bumped into her.

"Oh I'm sorry Hotaro. I wasn't looking where I was going." He said helping her up.

"It's okay. He why are you so late it's almost lunch. That's not normal for you of all people."

"I had something important to take care of. Were you worried about me?" he asked with a sly smile.

"No I wasn't, but your fan girls were. God they're annoying. How do you put up with them?"

He just laughs at her comment and they both go on to their classes.

FF cuz I'm lazy and nothing else happens

Hotaro and Shuichi walked home again in silence while Hotaro came up with an idea.

"Hey Shuichi, how come I never see these friends of yours? You tell me about them but I've never met them, how come?"

Shuichi was taken back, Hotaro never made any indication that she wanted to meet his friends. He was a little afraid of what would happen, considering the lack of common interests.

"Well I don't think you -"

"Might like them? Why, you think we may not have anything in common or something?"

"No it's not that, it's just….well"



"Well what? You're stalling Shuichi. If don't take me to see them, then I might just become one of your fan girls and stalk you until I meet them myself. You know I'll do it too, so just give up."

"I guess I'm defeated then. Well I was supposed to meet up with them today would you like to come?"

"Sure I just have to go home and change. I'll just meet you at your house in 1 hour okay?"

"Okay I'll see you then."

Hotaro then ran inside as Shuichi walked on to his house. She ran so fast that she ran right into her father knocking all his papers on the floor.

"Oh dad I'm sorry I didn't see you there. Are you okay?" she asked helping him up.

"It's ok sweetie. But what has you in such a hurry that you have to run me over?" he asked.

"Um well I was just gonna go and change. I'm meeting some friends in an hour."

"Well now, who are you going to meet, is it the cute one, Shuichi?" her mother inquired.

"MOTHER!!" she yelled embarrassed as she ran up to her room.

Shuichi stood at his front door waiting for Hotaro's arrival. It had already been an hour and he was worried, he had thought to go back inside to call and make sure she's alright. The second he opened the door she came running up to him.



"Hey Shuichi sorry for keeping ya, my parents were bein' weird again. So where to?" She asked with a big grin.

He gin chuckled at her enthusiastic attitude and lead her down the road to where he was meeting the others.

"So tell me what are their names, you never told me."

"You'll see."

"Oh c'mon, please," she put on her best puppy dog face.

"Well now who could resist a cute face like that," he said as he pinched her cheeks lightly causing her to blush. "Now come on it's not that much further."

He led her to what looked like a school. She noticed all the kids staring at them then two boys walking up to them. One had black hair that was slicked back so neatly 'He must've used to whole jar of jell on his head', the other was taller than the first boy. He had orange colored hair with an Elvis style who was 'pretty ugly for his age.'

"Hey Kurama, you're late. That's unusual for you," The blacked haired boy said.

"Sorry about that but please-"

"Hey who's the pretty lady?" The orange haired one asked.

"My name's Hotaro, nice to meet ya."

"Guys this is Hotaro Utamaru. She's a friend from school. Hotaro this is Yusuke Urameshi and Kazuma Kuwabara."

"Oh you mean the Slacker and the Idiot" she said causing both of them to glare daggers at her.

"How observant. I like her already." A figure behind her said.



"And this is Hiei." This boy was way short with black colored hair with a white starburst in the front. The only thing unusual about him was hi crimson eyes and his hair which seemed to defy all laws of gravity.

"Um it's nice to meet you Hiei."

So the five of them walked on to what looked like a park. She stayed behind them observing their behavior. Yusuke had Kuwabara in a headlock while Shuichi tried to calm them down, Hiei just lagged behind them calling the two idiots as much as possible.

'They seem to be really good friends. But why did Yusuke call Shuichi Kurama?'

Hotaro was so deep in thought she didn't see that Yusuke and Kuwabara had started a full blown fight and that Kuwabara had took a swing at Yusuke but he ducked and was about to hit her. "HOTARO!!" Shuichi had yelled to get her attention but was too late. What happened next shocked all four boys as the second before Kuwabara landed the hit; she blocked it and flipped him over her back with him face down arm wrenched behind his back.

"Oh it's just youreleases him my bad."

"But how did you-?" Yusuke started

"I was taught when I was 4 so I guess you can call it reflex."

Just then Yusuke got a call on his communicator.

"What is it Botan?!" he yelled at the poor girl.

"Yusuke come quick it's urgent." He then closed it and took off along with the others.

"Hey wait." Hotaro yelled as she was about to follow them.

"Sorry Hotaro. We'll have to do this again sometime." Shuichi said as he too took off after them.



Then Hotaro's cell phone rang.

"What do you mean? Alright I'll be right there." And she took off in the other direction.

"What is it this time toddler."

"Nice to see you too Yusuke. Daiku is on the move so now we have-"Koenma started.

"Your first mission," Kohana finished.

"You're here?!"

"Yeah so get ready we have to go and catch a demon named Gin. He's working for Daiku so we'll be able to get some clues."

"Well then let's go."

Shadowcat: Well there you have it. Chapter 5 should be finished by this weekend.

Hiei: Let's hope so.

Shadowcat: Whatever she you all soon. Remember to review people stuff will get done faster.
