I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho.

Don't forget, I put projected dates up on my profile!

Kurama grew impatient. Watching Hiei and Sho chase circles around each other in the sky was all very fun, but some direct action needed to be taken. These villains needed to be stopped and apprehended, not only because they were convicted of grand theft of a Spirit World artifact, a high offense, but because it was quite apparent that they had introduced the agent into Amaya's system. Her power was raw and untrained. In this state alone, it was very powerful. She would be a great aid in apprehending the villains, yet as a villain herself....Well...
He did not want to have to think about that.
Of course, they would not be able to stand idly by and let her terrorize the town on Sho's command. Sho and whoever he worked for, that is. She, like them, would have to be apprehended.
It was a sure fact that no one in the group wanted to cause her any harm. (Hiei would speak for himself, of course.)

Kurama summoned a single red rose. Holding the flower in the palm of his hand, he gave the plant a good flick. One floral beauty then turned into a weapon of the utmost destruction. It was his infamous rose whip. Twirling it over is head, he shot his arm forward, back, and forward again. It let off a good CRACK as it struck an unsuspecting Sho across the back.
He delivered one good punch to Hiei's face, and the fire demon fell from the sky, spiraling toward the ground.

Sho turned angrily toward Kurama.
"You'll pay for that!" He screeched, cocking his fists to prepare an attack on the kitsune.

Suddenly, there was another voice that was heard, a soothing, calming one. The velvet sound enveloped the group as a whole, catching everyone off guard for nearly a moment.
"Come now, Sho," The voice sounded like the sweetest wind chimes. What harm or hurt could be meant from one with a voice such as that? "Is that any way to treat our friends?"
The owner of the intoxicating voice stepped into view, and Kurama had to admit, the video footage they had seen of him did not do him justice.

Tall, lanky, thin. These were just a few words to describe the being that stood before the Spirit Detectives. His long blond hair fluttered with the wind, several strands blowing across his pale face, grazing over his amethyst eyes. His hands were hidden from view, one perfectly folded behind his back, the other merely resting in the pocket of his brown coat. This demon was intimidating in every sense of the word. Deceitful, too. Kurama knew from instinct that this demon, whoever he was, had to be Sho's master. He also knew that despite the tricks of the mind, this was a very strong, terrible demon.

If he did so happen to be Sho's master, then undoubtedly he was in command of Amaya.

"And who might you be?" Kurama asked the stranger, his voice strained with iritation.
"Yeah, who the heck are you?" Yusuke had grown bored of watching Hiei and Sho go at it. Those two, it seemed were the only ones who did not notice the grand entrance of the demon.

"My name is Nobuyuki." The demon bowed. "Spirit Detective, let me just say it is an honor to finally meet you in person. I've heard so much about you."
"Yeah, well...Thanks, I guess. I wish I could say the same, but it seems you've been pretty evasive of Spirit World."

Nobuyuki simply laughed at this, throwing his head back gracefully, then bringing it forward once more to watch Sho and Hiei.

Sho delivered a damaging kick to Hiei's jaw, sending him backwards, propelling back to Earth. In his free moment, Sho turned to catch his breath, a grin playing on his features as if to brag for his temporary victory. Upon turning, he took note of his superior, and flew down, touching the dirt gracefully with his feet. Safely on the ground, he began to run toward Nobuyuki.

"Master!" he cried racing to stand by his side.

Yusuke did not appear half as thrilled as the two strange demons that stood before him.
"So, we're all friends here. Tell me, Nobuyuki, what are you planning?"
"Oh, now Yusuke, you know I cannot tell you that. But you will see part one of my plan soon enough....Here she comes now, as a matter of fact!" Nobuyuki and Sho gestured behind Yusuke and the others.

She stood in the distance, eyes glazed over and unrecognizable. Within them there was no trace of the carefree girl they knew. There was only hatred and the urge to kill.
Her fists were clenched by her sides, her blue jacket torn and tattered. Twigs stuck to her hair, giving her a wild look about her.

Nobuyuki gestured for her to come forward. She obeyed. In doing so, she crossed paths with Hiei, who lay on the ground. Battling for consciousness, he reached out to grab her ankle.
Glaring down at the one who dared to touch her, her eyes narrowed. She brought her foot back, and for a moment it seemed as though she would stay there upon one foot forever. Suddenly,
she whipped it forward once more, kicking the small fire demon square in the chest and sending him back into the air. He flew back a good distance, then hit the ground. Rolling from the force of the impact, he came to a pained stop at Kuwabara's feet.

I had just kicked Hiei with a good deal of my strength. It felt so good, so right. This sudden change of heart allowed me to act upon my innermost desire toward him. I wanted to hurt him, to tear him to shreds. I wanted him to see the effect his words could have on a person.

In my head, I thanked my master for providing me with the power and strength to do this. Never before would I have dared to kick that pretentious fool.
I continued forward, finally reaching the crew of Spirit Detectives. Barely brushing past them, I went straight to my master, and stood by his side.

"You see, Yusuke," he was saying as I approached, "the first step is to eliminate you all. That is where dear Amaya comes into play. Isn't that right?"
He turned toward me then, awaiting my answer.
I nodded. I would do absolutely anything he asked of me. Anything at all.

"Nobuyuki, you bastard!" Kuwabara yelled.
Master ignored him, continuing to face me.
"I'm glad you have no qualms about this, my dear. Future regrets would do you no good if you are to be in my service. I'll leave them in your hands. Finish them, but fear not, I am not deserting you. No, Sho and I have much greater plans for you."

Their bodies, as one, twitched, and in a flash they disappeared from all sight.

And I was just left with Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama. Hiei had practically been finished off for me. I would have to thank Sho for that later.
The old desire to kill and destroy filled my veins again.
I dug my heels into the ground, snarling at my former friends.

I was ready to do whatever it would take, to fill out my master's will.

:D

don't forget to review! it keeps me sane!
