Right. Bot Fanfic decided to wait two weeks before sending out the email for the last chapter.
So this time, I'm updating right now and hopefully it won't take two weeks for the email to get out.
Sorry, I did say I was going to update sooner, its not all my fault. Now on to the story.
"I want to see Haki," I ordered. "Right this instant! Don't you dare tell me he can't have visitors, or that he is alseep!"
"But-" the doctor started to say.
"Right now before I get angry!" I said, and he nodded his head, leading me to a hospital room.
I entered the door with the name Haki written on the front, the name of the spy leader. He was sitting in his bed gazing down at a newspaper with a bored face. He looked up, glad to see he had company. Haki never likes staying in the same place for more than a couple days, and alone makes it worse. It's a habit he developed after a year of being the leader of the now wiped out team of spies.
"Yo," I said, grabbing a stool. "Seems like you healed pretty fast."
Haki grinned his usual grin. "Wish the other nine would as well. They don't seem to want to wake up."
I didn't say anything, so Haki went on talking, "Ikuro's planning on getting to Japan, taking his good old time. He doesn't care about his followers, he plans on throwing us off course by using them as decoys. I'm led to believe that however has a connection to the Spirit Detectives, or Spirit World at that, is in danger. What he'll do when he gets to Japan though, it's still quite unclear."
"It's the fastest way for him to reach Spirit World," I told him.
"So what are you going to do now?" he asked.
I stood up, smirking. "I'll let him play his game of chess. I don't mind getting rid of all his pawns to get to him. But I have my own game to play."
"You know I'm backing you up right? I'm not letting myself be useless," Haki said.
"Botan should be arranging a meeting with King Enma. You'll get your briefing from her when she gets permission. Though you looked healed, you aren't well enough to get back onto the field, so you better sleep until Botan comes," I said, taking out a mini bottle from my pocket. I set the bottle on the table by his bed. He gazed at it, knowing what it was. I smirked again and left the room saying, "I'll be seeing you in Japan soon."
Out in the hallway, a portal appeared in front of me, taking me to the vault. The guards appeared shortly after my arrival, saluting me.
"We're going to start a little earlier than planned," I told them. "Just remember, this isn't a war."
One of them added a muffled, "Yet."
-Boy's Room-
"You fool!" Yusuke shouted. "Argh!"
"Oh look at yourself, you wanted to say it too," Kurama yelled back.
Kuwabara stared dumbly back and forth at them argueing. He felt like he should find a place to intervien, but he couldn't find one at all. He just looked from Yusuke to Kurama, though the thought of atually stopping the fight never entered his brain.
"What if Sana is angry again?" Yusuke asked. "And she snaps on us or something?"
"So now you're making fun of her?" Kurama shot back.
The door to the rom opened and slammed close, Hiei back. Kurama and Yusuke were too into their verbal fight that they did not hear him enter the room again. Kuwabara looked at Hiei, his face asking for some time of help. Hiei just went, "Hn" and waited for them to stop snarling at each other's throats. He wanted to see if they would stop before I got back.
"Uh..." Kuwabara muttered.
"SHUT UP!" Yusuke and Kurama both snapped at him, turning to him with the intent of punching him.
Hiei stared at them as they stared at him. Yusuke opened his mouth as if to say something, but could not. Kurama loosened his hands and took a step back, taking a deep breath to calm himself down.
"You two are really fools. Do you think it's smart to argue in a time like this?" Hiei asked them, making them seem like children.
Once more, the door opened and slammed closed. I was accompanied by Koenma, still in his teenager form. "Hey guys," I said. "You done fighting? I can come back later."
"That just makes us seem bad," Yusuke commented.
"Can you just get on with it?" Hiei snorted, impatient as ever.
Everyone took a seat around the large coffee table, Koenma standing at its end. It was a map of India and Japan, with red marks everywhere, sometimes even a couple purple ones, in Japan. Everyone looked at it and started to nod their heads, not understanding anything of what the marks symbolized.
"I've gotten everyone already started on this. Ikuro's playing his first card in India, trying to throw us off track by sacrificing his followers so he can move on with his plans. This come's from Haki himself, the spy leader, the best one you'll find here. So, we're gonna do something even better than his plan," I started. "Botan right now has gotten permission from King Enma to give back the lives of the spies, for a limited time anyway. Can't chang someone's fate yanno? Anyway, a handful of them will each guard everyone in Japan that has any relation to you. They won't be found at as easily, and Ikuro thinks they got killed off."
"Wait, my kitty is in danger?" Kuwabara asked.
I nodded my head, "Yeah, even your least favorite teacher. But that's not the point here. My guards from the vault, having been preparing for this since the mission started, are heading to the portal rooms here to go to India. I trust they can handle most of our "enemies" while we focus on Ikuro himself. Using your brain, you should be able to figure out that Ikuro would keep at least two of the best people by his side. So this is where you all come in."
I paused for a moment, to let myself take a breather and if anyone had a problem to state it now. Then I continued, "There's a total of six of us, with Shiku. Shiku, though, won't take much part in this. I have my own vault problems coming up, demons just don't understand you know. So that leaves it up to you four to get rid of the people Ikuro keeps with him."
"And how do we do that?" Kurama asked.
"Hiei knows how, so for now, listen to Hiei and try not to make him angry," I said. "Shiku now, she has some business to take care of. She IS a thief and so she has to do her job. Being part of this isn't her real job. Now then, keep in mind that she is a thief that also follows orders from Koenma, so, being good at snooping around like a spy, she will be helping us out in the shadows. Once Ikuro is isolated in Japan, we can finish off this mission. But we won't be able to do it before then."
"It sounds like a well thought out plan, but is it really going to work? This isn't like Sensui," Yusuke remarked.
I pulled out a bracelet from my pocket and set it down on the table. "Recognize this?"
Everyone, except Hiei and Koenma, looked at it closely, trying to but the bracelet to a memory. "It's that bracelet that Akito put on you."
"Exactly.I've modified his version and made loads of them. This is the same type of deal as it was for me. The wearer can't take it off, you know how it works. Once the bracelet does come off, that person will loose memories, but only of their time with Ikuro. This bracelet will completely suck out all of their Spirit Energy, and make it unsuable for the rest of their lives on Earth. Now, I'm not Akito, so a normal Spirit Energy transfusion in the hospital wing will make the bracelet deactivate," I told them. "Each of you should take at least three and keep them on you. Whenever the chance comes and you can snap one onto our enemy, do it, then open a portal to send them here. The doctors will take care of the rest. And... forget about Ikuro, don't try to risk your life to put a bracelet on him... Ikuro is all up to Shiku."
"Finally," Kuwabara sighed.
"Some action!" Yusuke said, excited.
"One last thing before we head out," I said. "I'm still in charge... I've said this before, so. Don't die."

Hmm. I wonder. Can Yusuke even die? Seriously. He dies but comes back to life.
Anyway. Sana's plan seems to be okay, though I doubt Ikuro is that stupid.
And like Yusuke said, some action. About time.
Disclaimer: I do not own YYH, but Sana and Shiku and, sadly, Ikuro, are my charies, thanks much.
