Ch 3: Explanations
Yusuke whistled as they entered Spirit world. "Nothing have changed much." He explained.
Botan let out a sigh. Yes, Yusuke was correct. Nothing has changed in Demon world. There are still hundreds of ogres running around like madmen while shouting and papers flying around.
"The mission you will be entering caused confusions throughout the three worlds," told Botan. She paused as a pile of paper flew passed their heads. "Hence, she continued. More paper work and more stress to Koenma."
Yusuke gave Botan a sheepish grin. "Concerned for the little toddler, eh Botan?"
"Shut up Yusuke!" yelled Botan. It can't be helped, the little ferry girl is quite attached to the great ruler of Spirit World and so it was just right for her to be concerned.
Yusuke and Kuwabara can't help it but laugh. It was there first time seeing Botan so flustered for a little thing. Botan used to laugh at them when they were at the Dark Tournament, now its payback time.
"Alright boys, silent yourselves," said Botan whose face has still a tint of cherry pink. Botan then pressed a buzzer and said, "Botan here and the boys are ready to enter."
After a few seconds, the huge double doors opened. But before Botan can walk in, Yusuke and Kuwabara ran in shouting at the top of their lungs in unison, "WE'RE HOME, TODDLER!"
A small chuckle was heard at the end of the room. "Koenma was right, both of you have not changed at bit."
Yusuke's eyes travelled around, looking for the source of the voice.
"Hey Kurama, nice to see yo-ouch!"
Yusuke was holding his head which was about to have a large bump. Botan held her oar tightly as she shouted, "You could have at least showed some manners! Even if you are the descendant of a powerful demon, it does not make you above-"
"That is enough, Botan," a squeaky voice said.
"But sir-," complained Botan but she was cut off by the Prince of the spirit world.
"Besides, I am used to his insults"
"Ha", exclaimed a voice from the dark.
"That is not funny, Hiei," retorted Koenma. Hiei just stared at him, as if he was nothing but a piece of trash. Koenma sighed; there was no point in arguing with Hiei. It is best to leave it aside.
"Hey, why is shortie here anyway?" Kuwabara looked at Koenma as he waited for an answer. But before Koenma could answer his question, Hiei answered back to him.
"I'd rather not tell," he sneered. "Your little brain might not handle the information". Hiei paused as he looked at the face of the human. Kuwabara was now burning with rage. Hiei could not resist but smirk at the reaction of his teammate. He did detest this human who kept on showing off his idiocy throughout the world but he slightly admit that he missed angering the buffoon.
"Hiei was brought here by the orders of Mukuro," Koenma finally explained. His head is already having a migraine and he wanted this day to finish early.
This made Kurama's ears perked up. "Mukuro?" he asked. He placed his hand under his chin. "Then this means, the Demon World is connected to this mission."
"Yes, and a grave future might occur to all words; human, Spirit, and Demon, if not protected immediately," explained Koenma with a melancholy voice.
And with this, Koenma got the attention of the detectives; even Hiei, who was now near his team mates rather than leaning in the wall. They were all anxious to know their mission and what enemies await them.
"Ogre!" yelled Koenma. "Are the things that I ordered ready?"
A blue ogre with a horn entered their presence. He was carrying a carton of pizza. "Here you go sir. The pizza you have ordered."
A snicker was heard from the gang.
"POP" I guessed a nerve popped in Koenma's head. And at that instant he was trembling; trembling with fury.
"Koenma sir, are you alright? I know, you might be freezing, wait for me sir, I will fetch your favourite blanket" told Ogre to Koenma who was about to burst.
A chorus of snickers were now heard.
Koenma cannot take it anymore. Before Ogre can go out of the room, his horn was pulled by Koenma. "You idiot, FOOL, IMBECILE! Not only you fetched me the wrong item but also humiliated me." shouted Koenma into the ear of the dazed ogre.
"Fetch me the right item, now." said Koenma who was trying his best to soothe his anger. After a few minutes, Ogre returned with a small worn out basket. "At last," exclaimed Koenma.
"Are we going for a picnic or something, Koenma," asked Yusuke with a sly grin.
"Funny Yusuke, but no," replied Koenma with a sarcastic tone.
Koenma then asked the four, "Have you heard of the Unknown?"
