Chapter 9, sweet.
My head hurts like hell, but I'll still put up this chapter, yayness. Enjoy!

I walked into the guy's house, or hideout as we tend to call it these days. It was quite dusty in there, as if no one had lived there for more than a month, which could be true I guess. Yusuke and Kurama disappear into the storage room which was to become my actual room. I was led to believe that they had never finished it. Kuwabara, acting on what I had said earlier, decided the safest place for his kitten was in this place, so he left in a hurry to his house.

I was left alone with Hiei. Just the thing I needed. I sighed in annoyance slightly, peeking out the window. "The protection on this house is quite good," I said, hoping this conversation starter would not become something too... indepth.

"Hn," Hiei replied. "Complementing yourself."

I smirked, I knew that already. There wouldn't be this house lest I had surveyed its construction. All the defense systems were designed by me, like the ones in the vault, though the vault was still the safest and heaviest guarded place around. I just haven't really been in this house, except for that one brief moment before Akira came and took us all away, after the construction ended.

"There is one of those big communicators somewhere right?" I asked, my memory failing me.

"It's in the kitchen," Hiei replied. "Along with a new brain."

I ignore his side comment. The doors to my room flew open suddenly, and Kurama forced me inside. The storage room, the way I remembered it, had vanished. The walls were freshly painted and there was no speck of dust, unlike the reast of the house. The window had a nice pair of curtains and to finish off, all the stuff that used to be in my house, my real room, was now here. The room was fashioned exactly as it used to be in my mother's house.

"So? What do you think?" Yusuke asked.

"Amazing. You guys did all this while I was in Greece?" I asked.

"Of course we did," Kurama said. "Can't have you sleeping on the couch for the rest of your life."

"Amazing," I repeated myself.

-That Night-

I had added some stuff in my new room, things I took from my Spirit World room. The desk, which had been cleared of everything, now lay in a disaster again. A huge map of the world, quite blown up, took up half of the wall, from the corner to the door really. I had many red marks everywhere, and thumbtacks on special names of special places in Japan only.

I had installed during the day another big communicator into the wall. Then on my desk lay all my other junk, preferably, my black laptop, which was open and turned on, humming as it processed all the information it was receiving.

As I reviewed charts from the vault, the screen on the wall flickered on, one of the Guards on the screen.

"We've located and took down four of them Guardian. The other five are no where to be found. We can only come to the conclusion that they followed Ikuro," the Guard said.

I took out another clean piece of paper and wrote down what the Guard just told me, nodding my head. "That's good enough. Don't forget, be at the vault tomorrow night."

And at that, the screen went blank, only to beep again as another person came onto the screen, Haki.

"I've assigned the people to the spies. King Enma won't let them regain their lives though, thought to let you know. It's only for this he agreed to," Haki said. "And I'm back on the job, orders?"

I gazed upon the screen, "Seems like it. I want you to locate five more followers of Ikuro, save the ones that are the closest to him. I just want their location, once you know that, leave India right away."

"Understood."

I pushed the piece of paper with newly written notes to the side and punched some keys on my laptop while getting out another from a drawer. I set it on the other side, flipping the top open, swiftly pushing the power button on that. It was just before I began typing away on that laptop that I felt someone near the house with an intense amount of Spirit Energy. Quietly, I stood up and went over to my window, examing the outside, but found only the usual things outside.

I opened my door and entered the kitchen, where the guys were playing cards. They looked up at me and asked, "I thought you weren't going to join in."

"I felt some strong Spirit Energy outside a minute or two ago," I told them. "I have reason to think that it might be one of Ikuro's followers."

"Aren't your Guards supposed to take care of them?" Kuwabara asked.

"And they did, only tha five of them vanished along with Ikuro," I answered.

Kurama, Yusuke, and Hiei put down their cards on the table and stood up. Kuwabara looked at them dumbly, wondering why they would not finish the game. Kurama tip-toed to the front door, hoping to hear someone outside.

"There's only one way to find out," Yusuke said.

-A Few Yards From the House-

We came upon a alleyway in which all lights had given way to. I sensed the Spirit Energy again, and pointed down the street. Everyone stopped and took to the alleyway, making sure they made no noise to avoid detection. This was more to not wake up people sleeping in the buildings around us than our opponent, or so, we thought our opponent at this time.

Kurama sensed it before we all did this time, and shouted to duck. A chain that shone orange flew above our heads, missing us by a hair. This could only belong to one of Ikuro's followers. I gathered in my palm a tiny ball of my Spirit Energy and let it float into the air ahead of us. Once it reached a good spot, piercing blue light erupted from it, illuminating the entire alleyway in front of us.

A young teenage guy stood in front of us, swinging an orange chain at his side. "You got lucky," he muttered in an icy voice.

No questions asked, that chain was formed from his Spirit Energy, and for him to be attacking us meant he was one of Ikuro's men.

"But to my luck, your luck ends here. I'm finishing what the others apparently could not do," he said. "My name is Eon, and I'm going to kill you all."

How gentleman of Eon. Stating his name to his prey, just like in the good old violent days...
The last of the boring chapters is over. I've said this all the time haven't I? Sorry.
Next chapter: Eon vs. Kurama.
Disclaimer: I do not own YYH, but Sana, Shiku, and Ikuro are my characters, thanks.
