Hey! Just updating. I've actually got a bunch of these lined up, so even though it seems like i'm just belting these out amazingly, i'm not, thus why i'm trying to space out how i update. hope you enjoy! Don't worry, i'm not a constant yuske basher, she's one my favorite characters actually!

---------------------------

Normally it only took a few days before Yuske came back, and thus, Ara was a little worried. He's a lousy cook and even lousier father, but he's still my dad. I better go ask Mr. Koenma about it.. Ara got up early one Saturday morning, went to a local street alley to have a "relaxing throw-down" and then flew up to the Great Koenma in the Spirit World. "Hey, Koenma!" Ara called.

"Ara? Is that you?" Koenma asked. Ara opened the doors to find an entire office in rubble. The desk was smashed, there were papers every where, and a plasma screen television cracked and hanging sideways.

"What happened?" Ara asked.

"Your father, that's what!" he stated angrily.

"Pardon?"

"Look, your father's gone crazy! We told him yesterday that you'd be his successor if anything were to happen to him."

"Ok. Why...?"

"Because he took longer than usual to close the case. Normally he's finished in a few days, this time it took a full week! We were getting a bit worried, and were thinking of you going to get him, but he showed up yesterday, and when we told him we thought you were ready, he went beserko!!"

"Great, so where is he now? He never came home yesterday, and Mr. Kazuma had to go home; Hankachi was getting hungry,"

"He was seen going through that door, I didn't bother going after him right now because I've been trying to straighten up this room that your father trashed!!!"

"Sorry.. This door over here?" Ara asked as she opened a wall.

"Yes, that's the one," Ara opened it all the way and saw a round gateway that led into what looked like a warp.

"And where would this lead me?"

"Oh no.. he didn't.." Koenma started looking everywhere, but walked back into the open looking dismal. "He did..."

"Did what?"

"He... he went back in time!!!"

"What?! Is that even possible? No never mind, dumb question.. Of course it's possible, anything's possible.. But that means.. Great, now the past is stuck with him..."

"It's worse than that.. If he interferes, there could be dire consequences. You must go after him and bring him back!"

"What?! Uhm, I don't think so.. To what time did he go? Could we get back when we're through? How do you know I can do it, why not Hiei, or Mr. Kazuma, or even Mr. Kurama!"

"Calm down Ara. That time portal only goes to one time period. He went to his teen years, and yes, you can get back when you're done. All you have to do is give this note to the me back then, first thing you get there, then you can go through the time portal there." Koenma then gave her a folded piece of paper.

"Alright.. Can I go pack?"

"Can you do it fast?"

"Yup!" Ara rushed down and grabbed a small blue backpack and packed it with a change of clothes, then stuffed some money in her pocket. As she exited her house, though, she met Mr. Kazuma, Mr. Kurama and Hiei on the front step.

"Koenma told us of your first mission, and we wished to give you a little something," Kurama stated.

"Really? Like what?" Ara asked confused.

"Here," Kuwabara tied a white bandana from his wrist and on top of her wrist. "This way my old gang'll know you're cool with me, also that I'll know. You may not believe it, but I wasn't as smart as I am now,"

"Really? I can't tell the difference. Take this," Hiei gave Ara a small dagger with a sheath and she tucked it in her belt. "Use it right and it'll slay a hundred demons in one swipe,"

"You really think she can walk in the streets with a dagger like that?! At least I gave her something useful," Kuwabara asked annoyed.

"And 200 humans if you choose," Hiei added. Ara laughed at Hiei's comment, and turned to Kurama when he tapped her shoulder. Kurama put a cross necklace around Ara's neck.

"You should lastly take this. This way you'll be respected for among the demons and protected from them. As long as they see that cross, they'll know you are from creatures with real status."

"Thanks you guys! I'll come back with Dad, and we can go back to normal in no time," Ara said confidently. She then flew up to Spirit World again without looking back, and went through the portal, holding the note tightly in her hand. The trip was short and simple. She went through one side and came out the other within seconds. The room she came to was empty and dark, so she made a light and passed through the door.

"Ah! Not another one!!!" Koenma cried out.

"Uhm, hi. I'm supposed to give you this. It's from Koenma," Ara said calmly as she extinguished her light.

"Huh?" the younger koenma took the note and read it. "Hmmm. Alright, welcome Ara. I'm the Koenma of this time, and I was going to have your dad work on the case with the usual crew, but I guess not,"

"My dad?"

"Well, your younger dad, er that is.. The Yuske of this time, yeah that's it!" Koenma stated triumphantly.

"Uhm ok..." Ara was a little confused. This was her case, why were others already on it?

"I know, I'll hook you up with the team and you can join the search! Go down to Sarahachki Jr. High and you all can meet there."

"Ok," Ara went down and waited on the roof top.
