I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho.

Hey guys, there may be a couple delays in updates over the next couple weeks! I'm starting college, and things are pretty hectic.

Sho beckoned me into the house, and I followed him inside.

There was a figure cloaked in black sitting on a cinder block in the corner, his elbows resting upon his knees, head hanging. Yet I could still see a small smile on his lips. I knew him instantly to be my master. Upon entering the house, I kneeled at the sight of him.

"Master, what is it you wish me to do?"

I could see the grin spread from where I was sitting. Ever so slowly, he lifted his head, his piercing eyes looking straight into me, peering directly into my mind.

Welcome back, Amaya. He said this into my mind, and continued to smile at me.

"Master! I am here and I will do whatever it is that you bid of me! Shall I rid you of the humans and their ridiculous demon slaves?"

All in good time, my dear. All in good time. No. I have something else planned for you for the time being. His eyes flickered to Sho, who also joined me in kneeling on the ground. Sho returned Master's smile.

"Sho, you and Amaya must take this, and slip it into the city's water supply." He elegantly lifted one finger, pointing to a large canister behind us.

"Yes Master!" We cried together. I stole a look at Sho, and, for some reason, he seemed a bit nervous.

"What troubles you, Sho?" Master, so smart and keen, had noticed the nervousness as well.

"Forgive me my question, Master!" He shouted, feigning confidence. "How shall we transport such a large and heavy container? In an inconspicuous way, of course."

"That is simple." Master's grin spread even bigger across his face. "Steal a car. I'm sure Amaya would be more than willing to assist you in any way possible to make the mission a complete success...."

Nobuyuki trailed off, and his smile was once again directed at me. I felt myself swelling with importance. Master was smiling at me! I would not, and could not fail him!

"Yes Master!" I cried with a fervor.

"Good. Then I leave you both to your work." He drooped his head once more.

Sho and I promptly stood. Turning, we both grabbed the canister with one hand, and made our way out of the boarding house. We only had to carry the canister for a few blocks, as there was a rusty, blue pick-up truck parked on the street.

We set down the canister, and Sho began to fiddle in his pocket for a set of lock-picks. In a matter of seconds, he had one of the doors of the car unlocked. He settled into the driver's seat, leaning over and unlocking my door manually. Then, he disappeared onto the floor of the car, undoubtedly hot-wiring it to start up. With all of my force, I heaved the canister into the bed of the truck. Making sure it was secured in place, I then climbed into my seat in the truck, watching Sho with some interest.

After a few moments, the engine roared. Sho lifted himself from the ground and sat in the driver's seat, shutting the door on his side. Then he switched gears, and began to drive the car.

As we made our way down the deteriorating street, he turned to me, smiling.

"This is fantastic. I don't have a driver's license. Master would never let me bother with such frivolities, especially not since I can fly. I've always wanted to test out these human devices."

He was trying to make conversation with me, but I was uninterested.

"How far away is our destination?" I asked, our mission in mind. I did not wish to fail Master, not again.
I was unable to kill any of the foolish Spirit Detectives, though I had believed Hiei to be dead. I consoled myself on the appetizing thought that I would soon face them once more. Then, yes, then I would have my chance.

"A couple minutes." Sho said. Then, he turned to look at me. "You're not much of a talker, are you?"
"You have to keep your eyes on the road while you're driving." I said as the truck swerved dangerously close to a mailbox.
"I know." He said calmly, turning his head back.

We continued on in silence for the rest of the way there.

When we arrived, and got out of the truck, Sho immediately went for the canister.

"I'm going to dump this into the water supply. Follow me as best as you can. I need you to do something very important. You have to distract the security guards as best as you can. Do you understand?"

I nodded.

"If you fail, so does our entire mission."

This certainly hit home. I could, under no circumstances, allow the mission to fail. I nodded again with more of a fervor. He smirked, then hoisted the canister as he levitated, gripping the handle firmly with both his hands. He began to drift toward the Easternmost part of the water company. As I followed, I confirmed that we were going in the right direction. I found a sign that revealed the containment center for purified water was in the same direction Sho was heading. It was perfect! Slip the substance into water that was being directly circulated into the public! There was no way master could fail this time! I smiled as I ran after Sho, eager for my Master's success.

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