Chapter 2
"Hiei," the redhead called the person beside him as two other figures was out of sight, "Did you feel him?"
A smirk could be seen that answered Kurama's question even without his answer, "It might not be such a bad mission after all."
The first one shook his head and went towards the same direction as the first two, followed by the other.
Sho leaned to the wall more to hide his body from the two demons as he did with Ren and Kyouko when a thought came to mind, 'Unbelievable, demons truly exist. Two are standing right in front of me. If I am able-'
"Sho!" A worried Shoko Aki, Sho's manager, stopped Sho's from his thoughts while placing a hand on Sho's shoulder for support. After regaining her normal breathing pace, she straightened up and continued, "Where have you been? I can't find you anywhere! Do you know what time it is? Hurry on to your next schedule!"
Having his mind focusing on different things, Sho followed his manager towards their car and on to their next destination, but not before he heard a teen started ranting across the hall to a certain Kurama and Hiei
As Sho recalled, the rant went something along the line of, "Kurama! Hiei! Where's that guy? I can't believe that toddler sent us on another mission just after we finished one! That one even almost risked our lives! Do you know how many times I almost died? Four! Yes four freaking times! Not to mention Keiko and school isn't helping! Keiko slapped me again! And again, I almost died. And that freaking teacher pisses me off to the core! Just when I came to school this morning he was lecturing me and giving billions of assignment. I can't believe someone like him could be accepted as a teacher. I just what to shoot him to death along with that lame excuse of a Spirit World rule-"
After Sho left, Kurama's voice broke Yusuke's long, unending rant, "Yusuke where's Kuwabara?"
"Oh right!" Yusuke exclaimed as if just remembering something, "Botan came and told us that she manage to persuade Koenma to allowed the girls to come help us in this mission. She said they would come to be a huge help sometime but I just believe she wanted to see hot guys or something. Anyways, by the time Botan said "the girls" Kuwabara shouted "Yukina" very loudly and ran towards Genkai's temple almost immediately."
At that, Hiei's eyes turned very murderous as he said, "Those fools. I wouldn't advise anyone to bring Yukina into missions such as these."
"Now Hiei, don't bring your sword out," Kurama said, removing Hiei's hands from his sword, "I'm very sure you would be more than capable of protecting Yukina even if there is anything dangerous."
"So who's Yukina?" A voice belonging to Yashiro asked from behind Hiei and Kurama.
"No one really," Kurama, being the person who answer most questions, answered, "Just a friend of ours."
"Oh really?" Yashiro's eyes narrowed suspiciously and the corner of his lips turned upwards, "From the sound of it she is very important, especially to Hiei, a girlfriend perhaps?"
"HAHAHAHAH!" came Yusuke's laugh, "The day Yukina becomes Hiei's girlfriend is the day I die and won't come back!" Yashiro turned confused.
And again, Hiei's crimson eyes turned even more murderous, if that's even possible, and glare at the manager.
Upon feeling Hiei's very, very dark glare, Yashiro straightened up and decided to change the topic, "S-so I ta-take you a-are Urameshi Yusuke?"
"Hm? Yeah, that's me," Yusuke said between laughter.
"Are you alone? Where's the other one called Kuwabara Kazuma?" Yashiro asked while holding his left hand up, glancing at his watch, "We need to move on to Ren's next schedule very soon."
"He's out to bring some people," this time it was Kurama who answered seeing Yusuke still laughing and the probability of Hiei answering is as much as an E class demon defeating and S class, "It's okay if we leave first. He'll find his way."
"Very well, let's head to Ren's car. Ren's already there."
"I'm catching up to the fool," Hiei stated.
"I'm going too, much better than following two people that I don't know."
"You guys have no sense of duty," Kurama stated, "must I remind you that our mission is to keep Tsuruga Ren safe and not keeping Kuwabara from being happy."
"Keeping Kuwaraba away from happiness is definitely on my list," Yusuke replied.
"Hn." With that the two dark haired teen disappear without a trace, leaving Kurama to let out a sigh, shook his head, and follow the already gone Yashiro towards Ren's car in the basement.
"Where's the other two?" Yashiro asked as Kurama caught up with Yashiro.
"They went after Kuwabara, it seems that a problem has arise on his side," Kurama lied, "I do hope you won't mind. I will try to stop anything to harm you and Tsuruga-san if something happen."
"No, it really does not matter to me who are here and who are not as long as Ren is safe," Yashiro smiled and opened the door to Ren's car.
Kurama replied Yashiro's smile with a smile of his own and they drove off to Ren's personal make-up for Cain Heel.
"Hiei! Yusuke! What are you doing here?"
"Checking on Kuwabara here," Yusuke answered, lightly punching Kuwabara's left arm.
"More like bored of being there," Hiei corrected.
"Come now Hiei, it couldn't be that bad," Botan said, "There must be some benefits being around Tsuruga Ren."
"Who's Tsuruga Ren?" Yukina, being secluded for most of her time, tilted her head.
"Oh Yukina, I'm surprised you've never heard of him," Botan stated, "Tsuruga Ren is the most well-known actor in all of Japan. With his magnificent acting skill and good looks, it's nearly impossible to be able to beat him in the entertainment industry."
"He's the main character of the drama I asked you to watch with me, Yukina," Keiko added.
"Dark Moon?" The ice maiden asked, receiving a nod from Keiko. "I see."
"Let's go, wouldn't want to torture Kurama for long," Yusuke decided to end the conversation, "you won't know what he'll do to us."
"I would love to be in his position," Botan followed the Spirit World's detective.
"Yo Kurama! Why are you outside?" Yusuke, standing in front of the group, lifted up his right hand as a form of greeting, "Where's glasses guy?"
"Hello Yusuke," Kurama nodded to the rest, "He received a phone call, he's been away for some time. Should be back soon."
As if on cue, Yashiro came running back. Ignoring the additional amount of people present, he said between breaths, "Sorry, the president called me to his office. I would have to leave, please take care of Ren. And Kyouko-chan's coming in a while, I know it isn't apart of your job, but please watch out for her too."
With a final bow, Yashiro ran to the direction Yusuke and the group came from.
"Is he the manager?" Botan asked Yusuke, the one nearest to her who has seen the man.
"The one and only."
"And who's this Kyouko?"
"She's also an actress, looks very close to Tsuruga Ren and Yashiro Yukihito," Kurama answered, being the only person who has seen her besides Hiei.
"She must be very good, being acknowledge by Ren, I'll look forward to her performance."
"Has it ever come to you how this Ren person got demonic power inside of him?" Kuwabara decided to spoke up.
"Well the most common way is, like Yusuke, heritage," Kurama answered.
"So maybe either his mother, father, or both of them are demons."
While letting the information sink in, a girl with short blonde hair came running in as the door near where Kurama leaned in opened. In the door was a tall, deathly looking man. A dark cloak covered his whole body and the upper part of his face. To a mere human they would have been terrified, they would be staying away as far as possible, but let's face it; none of the people present are just mere human beings. In fact, it seems as though nothing have change.
Upon seeing the man, the blonde girl that has just arrived bowed a formal 90 degree bow with a smile, "Hello Tsuruga-san, let's work hard today."
"Hello Mogami-san, Jelly is waiting for you inside," he too said it with a warm smile, contrasting his deathly appearance.
In taking her first step only did she realize the number of people present other than her respected mentor. The first that stands out is the two that she has met, and again, she bowed, "Good to see you again Kurama-san, Hiei-san."
"Hn."
"Hello Mogami-san," Kurama replied with a bow of his own, "These are friends that will help our work. From the left are Botan, Urameshi Yusuke, Yukimura Keiko, Kuwabara Kazuma, and Yukina."
"Hello, I'm Mogami Kyouko, a pleasure to meet you."
"Kyouko dear, come, we need to start on your make-up," came a cheerful voice from the open door behind Ren.
"Right away, Jelly-san!"
"Now what did I tell you about using honorifics after my nam-" was what they could hear before the door closed.
After moving to a more secluded room, Ren revealed his full face and turned to Kuwabara, nodding to the three he has previously met and receiving a reply of some sort, "I take you are the final member of the four, Kuwabara-san?"
"Yup, the name's Kuwabara Kazuma."
"Good to have finally meet you," Ren smiled and turn to the three females, "and who might you be?"
"Hello!" The grim reaper was the first to start, "I'm Botan! An honor to be meeting you Tsuruga-san! I'm a big fan of you! Especially in Dark Moon! Such strong emotions! I can't control myself to not laugh, cry, smile, and be angered, and such during the scenes, especially when Katsuki played the piano with Mizuki and the event with the teacup breaking and stuff. I almost thought it was real and not just acting! Please continue to work hard in the future Tsuruga- Ren, may I just call you Ren?!"
"Of course. Thank you, Botan-sa-"
"Please, just call me Botan! I insist!"
"Thank you, Botan," Ren said with a small chuckle.
"We too have watch Dark Moon," Keiko was the next one to spoke up. "Yukimura Keiko, just called me Keiko."
"It is true that it seems very realistic," Yukina added with a bow and smile similar to Kyouko before, she said, "Hello, I'm Yukina."
"Thank you, Keiko-san, Yukina-san." Ren scanned the group and chuckled, forgetting the situation where he would be protected by teenagers around Kyouko's age, "I really mean no offense in this, but this sure is an eye catching group. It must be weird for demons to walk in the open. What demon class is each of you in?"
Yusuke, being the leader he is, decided to answer the actor's question, "Not all of us are demons, or at least completely demon. My half is human and the other an S class. To the right of me here is human, but he wields the power of an A class demon and the highest sixth sense out of all of us. To the left of me is my human girlfriend, next to her is a B class ice apparition*. Your fangirl is not exactly a human but not a demon either; she's more like a grim reaper. Minus the creepy in the scary way part."
"I see. Three-mostly-S class demon, one A class human with powers, one B class demon, a seemingly completely normal human and a grim reaper. I would like to see if a demon did try to attack us."
"Please as if were that weak to have so many fight at once, the only one who'll fight is Kurama, Hiei, Kuwaraba, and me. May be even less depending on who attacked and how much we have."
"Then I take that the four of you are the fighters of the group. Unless..." Ren trailed of looking at the three girls with a calculating look.
"You're definitely correct! Keiko and I don't even know how to fight, and Yukina's more of the healing type. Leave all the fighting to these boys and relax. Even if the opponent is stronger than them they'll magically get through in the end like some kind of anime. Anyways, why are you looking like such a badass criminal?"
"This is for a job I'm currently working for. My identity is kept away from even the staffs and co-stars."
"Kyouko too?"
"Yes, she's acting as my little sister."
"Hn. Why is this make-up thing taking so long?"
"Well there's a lot of things that needed to be done to complete the outside transformation, but it should finish soon."
"Whatever. But just for your information wouldn't your cover be opened if we, the-oh-so-great-Tsuruga-Ren's so-called bodyguards, follow you and that human girl while you're someone else?" Hiei stated more than asked.
"Ah, I haven't actually thought of that," Kurama said.
"Oh wow brain of the group," Yusuke addressed the fox demon sarcastically, "nice thinking there."
"Shut up, Yusuke. You try seeing every detail and reduce the amount of danger for whatever you geniuses decide do." That shuts him up.
After a few minutes of long silence, Kurama finally turned to Ren, "Your make-up artist, can she transform one or two of us? If you are afraid of being late then please go first by the time Mogami-san finish. Two of us, with follow you from the shadows."
"I would have to ask her first."
Just as Ren finished his last word, Jelly Wood's voice echoed the quite room, "Of course! Anything to keep my dear Ren and Kyouko safe. Plus, Darling has given me the task to take care of you in this disguise and I will do my job!"
"Thank you, Jelly."
"No problem at all. I love to perform my magic on as much people as possible. Who shall it be?" Jelly scanned each of the group members, already evaluating which part she should work on. The main points and even the small ones.
"Well I am sure Hiei would not want make-up on and he is a good one in staying hidden and moving fast enough so he would follow. As for Kuwabara, I believe that you should escort the girls back since not all can follow, but that only make the three of us left in guarding them. I would like to have at least two every time. For that we would need one of the girls," Kurama mumbled to himself when suddenly an idea came to mind, "Yukina, can you lend us your help in this?"
Out of the corner of his eyes, Kurama saw crimson eyes narrowing dangerously while the said person was looking at Kurama confused.
"You are the strongest one out of the girls since you too is a demon. Your healing power will be useful if something that we do not expect happen. Do not worry, we will keep you safe," Kurama told the last sentence to a certain sister complex brother glaring at him rather than the girl in from of him.
"I am not afraid of getting hurt, I know that every one of you will keep me protected as always," Yukina stated, "I am worried that I will not be able to do the job well. I am not capable of moving in the shadow in high speed, but I am willing to do my best with the transformation."
"That is more than enough, Yukina," Kurama smiled and turned to Yusuke, "What would you like to do?"
"Stalking for me," Yusuke answered, "no way in hell am I getting make-up on."
With sigh, Kurama said to himself, "I knew you would say something along those lines."
"So has it been decided?" Jelly asked from the door.
"Yes," Kurama stand up and walk to Jelly to bow deeply, "I'm very sorry that it's late, but a pleasure to meet you, my name is Kurama. The one in the kimono, called Yukina, and I will be the one getting transformed. The person in all black is Hiei. Along with Urameshi Yusuke, the raven-haired one will keep Tsuruga-san and Mogami-san safe. They are very capable fighters so please do not worry about Tsuruga-san and Mogami-san's safety. The tallest one out of all of us is Kuwabara Kazuma, the brown haired lady is Yukimura Keiko, and our last member is Botan. Please lend us your assistance."
"The pleasure's all mine Kurama dear, I'm Jelly Woods, only Jelly please" the woman said leading the fox and ice demon out to the previous room Kyouko and Ren was transform, "let's start and we should be done in about an hour."
* I do not know what demon class Yukina is in. This is purely me considering that she is able to survive in the demon world, (although it's mostly-I think-in the Koorime island thing, she still went and try to find her brother) she must be strong enough. But seeing as how she couldn't do anything to fight the Toguro brothers in the beginning (obviously) she is not as strong as any of the four. She seems quite weak by then but then a lot of time has past and the whole thing that she's been living with Genkai and stuff I take that she have improve quite a lot with her help and all. If any of you do know her demon class please do tell and I'll change it.
