The next day the team gathered at spirit world in Koenma`s office to discuss what had happened last night with Hikaru. Yusuke, Hiei, Kwabara, Kurama, and Hikaru were at the entrance of spirit world gate. Hikaru was still on edge since the visit she got from Yoshshiro and his friends. She didn`t tell anyone what happened, not even her own brother. Either way she was going to have to tell everyone now.
On the bright side, she was going to see Koenma for the first time. She was curious to see what kind of person Yusuke`s boss was. The gate opened to Koenma`s office. Koenma was in his teenage form waiting at his desk.
"Welcome guys." He greeted the group. He noticed the little girl in front of the boys with her eyes casted down as she made eye contact with him. "You must be Hikaru." She lifted her eyes to him noticing that he was her level. "If you could, tell us about this Yoshshiro."
Hikaru hated to be the center of attention. Her heart pounded against her small chest like it was about to burst. She took a deep breath and relaxed "Okay. Yoshshiro plans to open the underworld with three other demons." During the short time Hikaru told the guys about how the gang planned to unleash the underworld upon the human world and take over spirit world.
"So that`s their objective." Sighed Koenma
"But how do we stop them?" yelled Yusuke "They can`t just open the door like that right?"
"No." Hiei spoke up "Whoever their so called master is, they can`t get in or even open the gate to the underworld."
"Hiei`s right. It`s impossible to release someone from the underworld.' Said Kurama
"Then, we have nothing to worry about?" said Kwabara "They didn`t think this plan out too well. Some villains."
Hikaru had still left out some information about how they need her blood to get their master out. If she did tell them, that would mean that she couldn`t train anymore but, on the other hand it was a good thing as well. As long as she didn`t get stronger, they couldn`t bring out her demon half and their plan will be ruined. Although, they had ways to bring it out themselves. So it was a lose-lose situation. She might as well tell them.
"um, actually they can." She spoke up
"What? But there is no way that they can. It`s impossible." Said Kwabara
"No. They said all they need is my blood to get their master free. A half demon`s blood." She played with her thumbs so she couldn`t meet their eyes."But I`m not strong enough yet so for now they can`t use me. Yet."
"Why didn`t you say so earlier?"Yelled Yusuke,"All we have to do is keep Hikaru away from them."
"Keep her where?" asked Koenma,"Anywhere on earth and they`ll find her in a heartbeat."
"Well, what about here?" asked Kwabara
"This is not a hotel!" said Koenma
"Unless you want to bodyguard the child twenty four seven, what other choice do we have?" Hiei spoke out
"Well as long she doesn`t get any stronger, she`s safe either way for now." Said Kwabara
"So that means…" Yusuke looked at the red headed siblings. Each was avoiding each other's eyes. "Kurama?"
Kurama simply nodded, knowing what to do, "Hikaru."
Hikaru knew what he was about to say to her."No. You promised. No matter what." She argued"Please. I don`t want to stop." She held back her tears and put a determined face on. She enjoyed the feeling of being strong and to no longer be a burden to others around her. Of course Hikaru knew full well what would happen if she continued on with her training, but at the same time if she did not those demons could bring out her power be their selves. It was a lose – lose situation.
Kurama shook his head. "Until we know more, these training sessions will only do more harm than good."
Hikaru looked to the ground "No matter what I do, I still make problems for everyone." She ran out the office in a random direction. Someone called her name but she kept running until she ended up in a room that was for the grim reapers to relax in.
"Who`s there?" said a familiar female voice. It belonged to Botan in her pink kimono dress. "Hikaru, what are you doing here, sweetie?"
Hikaru didn`t say a word, holding back her tears.
"What's wrong?" asked Botan. Hikaru had tears running down her pink cheeks and her throat was becoming hoarse.
"Botan? Can you take me home?" She muffled
"What about your brother?" Said Botan "Isn`t it better if you go with him. He's probably worried-"
"I don't want to see him!" she yelled "I don`t know what to do. I'm full of trouble."
"Then why not run away, already?"
Both Botan and Hikaru jumped up in shocked of the unwelcome voice in the room. It was the man from before with the green hair.
"Run, Hikaru." Botan pushed the little girl towards the exit but, the man blocked their path and grabbed Hikaru in his arms.
"Since you guys aren't going to train her anymore, we'll do it." He said as he headed for the exit.
Botan took her oar and charged for the demon, however he grabbed the oar and threw Botan to the ground with it.
"Botan!" Hikaru yelled after the blue haired reaper
As the green haired man opened the door to the exit Yusuke and the others came running after him. Hikaru struggled in his arms to reach the boys for safety. The man didn't have any trouble keeping her in his grip. She took out a small piece of bamboo and tried to hit him in the neck but he took her hand and bended it slowly backwards until she lost her grip on the stick.
"Kurama!" she screamed for her brother but, all she heard was her brother yelling back to her as the kidnapper escaped from Spirit world to his hide out.
