Chapter 18: Yusuke Returns

Buzz...Buzz...Buzz...

Yusuke Urameshi was awoken by his alarm clock buzzing off and he reached over to his nightstand and turned it off. Looking at what time it was, it was 9AM. He was due to meet Kuwabara for breakfast at the diner in an hour.

It had been about three weeks since he had returned from Demon World and shared his first real kiss with Keiko on the beach that's near Genkai's compound. He removed the blanket that covered his body and sat on the edge of the bed just wearing blue pajama pants and a plain red t-shirt.

He smiled to himself thinking about that kiss. It was the moment that he knew that he and Keiko was now officially a real couple. Well, as real as it can get anyway. The very thought made him feel as if he had butterflies flapping around in his stomach but, Yusuke wasn't about to admit that. Climbing out of bed and walking over to his closet to gather up his clean clothes for the day, Yusuke still couldn't believe that he was back at home.

He knew things were going to be different being that he wasn't a spirit detective anymore nor had any contact with Spirit World since. Well, that wasn't entirely true. He did bump into Koenma, Botan, and Koenma's ogre servant, Jorge at the Demon World Tournament back in May.

Minutes later, he made his way to the bathroom, took a shower, got dressed and combed his black hair back into his usual style. Passing by the living room seeing his mother getting ready to pass out on the couch from an eventful night of going out with some of her friends, Yusuke poked his head in, "See ya later Mom, I'm going to go meet Kuwabara for breakfast."

Atsuko tore her eyes away from the TV and looked at her only son, "Okay, have fun but, start looking for a job while you're out. Since you're not going to school anymore, you need to figure out what you're going to do with your life. You're not going to live here forever. When you turn eighteen, you're moving out."

Yusuke sighed in annoyance, "Okay, you don't need to nag. Have a good nap."

Atsuko rolled her eyes not wanting to deal with his sass right now. The half demon ex-spirit detective slipped on his sneakers and his green jacket and left the apartment for the bus stop.

When he arrived, the bus was already there and he walked on and paid the bus driver before sitting down. Yusuke arrived at his stop five minutes later and walked only less than a block to the diner. Hearing the bell ring when the diner door opened, Kuwabara looked up from his textbook and waved to get his best friend's attention, "Hey Urameshi, over here!"

Hearing Kuwabara's voice, Yusuke scanned the heavy diner crowd and quickly spotted the red haired psychic seated in a booth near a window. He walked over and sat across from him. Eyeing his friend's open textbook, he asked, "So Kuwabara, I have been meaning to ask, how's school going?"

Kuwabara shut his biology textbook and slipped it into his backpack, "Great. You'll never believe this but, I made As and Bs during my first semester last year and during the second, it was all straight As. I'm determined to have it happen again this year and for the next two years."

Yusuke's chocolate brown eyes widened in surprise, "Wow Kuwabara, that's awesome. Congratulations, I knew you could do it. I'm so proud of you man."

They high fived each other and Kuwabara brightly smiled, "Thanks Urameshi. So did Keiko tell you how awesome she has been?"

Yusuke nodded, "Hell yeah she did. I'm so proud of you both. It seems like everyone has been doing awesome while I was gone."

A waitress approached their table and the two friends ordered their drinks and their breakfast. When the ordinary human woman left, Yusuke and Kuwabara continued with their conversation, "So do you have any plans for college?"

Kuwabara nodded, "Yeah I do. You know how the prep school is connected to Mushiori University?"

"Yeah?"

Taking a sip from his orange juice and setting the glass on the table, Kuwabara said, "Well, that's the school I want to go to. From what I hear, they have an awesome medical school there. One of Shizuru's friends is a medical student there and she's going to hook me up when I set up my appointment with her to see the campus and gather all the information I need about the school. I was going to do it a week before school started but, we wound up having to deal with other things."

Washing down his bacon with his milk, Yusuke asked, "Awesome. Have you met this friend of your sister's?"

Kuwabara nodded, "Yeah, she's a really cool girl. She let me take care of her cat while she went on vacation to visit her family that lives in Alaska. I think you'd like her."

"Whoa. Alaska, huh? So is this chick from there or something?"

Finishing off his pancakes, Kuwabara responded, "Yeah, Shizuru told me she moved here when they were in high school..."

While Kuwabara kept talking, something out the corner of Yusuke's eye caught his attention. In the booth right next to them, there was someone that he recognized. Even though he had only met her once when he and Koenma hung out together at the coffee shop, the playground and at the same diner he was at right now, he recognized the young woman with the pale skin, large brown eyes and the long curly brown hair that Koenma had the hots for.

Seated in the same booth with her was a guy with brown hair and dressed in a grey suit that had his back turned so Yusuke couldn't see his face. Staring at the curly haired girl and the unknown guy, they seemed like they were deep in conversation with each other and judging by the way she was looking at him, they seemed like they were in some sort of a romantic relationship.

Yusuke felt a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach and thought to himself in his head, "Oh man, poor Koenma. He's going to be heartbroken when he finds out that the girl he likes now has a boyfriend."

The curly haired girl and the guy then leaned over and gave each other a deep and loving kiss. Seeing the look on his half demon friend's face, Kuwabara then gave him a curious look, "Um, Urameshi, what's wrong?"

Still looking at the currently lip locked couple, Yusuke then responded, "Hey Kuwabara, the girl in the booth right next to us, um...Koenma really likes her but..." He paused for a minute and began to scratch the back of his head.

Kuwabara turned around and looked at the couple who's currently making out in the booth behind him and shifted his attention back to Yusuke, "Oh that's Jasmine. She's the friend of Shizuru's who's going to show me around MU..."

Yusuke then got up from his place and the young redhead gave him a blank stare, "Where the hell are you going?"

"I'm just going to see who her hot date is."

Kuwabara rolled his dark eyes and sighed getting annoyed, "Urameshi..."

Yusuke then walked over to get a better look at Jasmine and her hot date and he let out a loud gasp at seeing who it was. The former spirit detective stood there speechless for a minute and then choked out, "Koenma!?"

Hearing the voice of his ex-spirit detective, Koenma then broke the kiss he and Jasmine were currently sharing and both lovers looked up at him. Jasmine didn't say anything and just gave Yusuke a blank stare and Koenma then cleared his throat, "Uh...hi Yusuke.

Fancy seeing you here, long time no see."

Kuwabara got up from his seat and stood beside his friend. Yusuke then looked at Kuwabara and seeing that the young high school psychic didn't seem so surprised by this development, he then asked, "Kuwabara, do you know something about this?"

Slipping his hands into the pockets of his blue jacket, he nodded, "Yeah, Koenma and Jasmine have been going out for over a year now. They started going out after you and Hiei left."

Koenma then sighed, "Yeah we have. Why are you surprised?"

Yusuke shrugged his shoulders, "I um...kind of assumed that she was two timing you for another guy. I mean, shouldn't you be in Spirit World slaving over your work or something? Hell, you probably have a new spirit detective or something now."

At Yusuke's accusation and assumptions, Jasmine rolled her large brown eyes and then shot him a death glare, "Um...no. I would never cheat on Koenma. What, since I'm a college girl, you automatically assume I'm a slut? I get enough of that from that bastard King Yama, I don't need it from a sniveling little weasel like you."

Koenma then shot his former employee the same death glare, "You assumed that my girlfriend is a whore? Jasmine is not. We waited six months into our relationship before we started making love. As for the spirit detective thing, no I don't have a new one. I now have something better than that."

"What's that?"

"That's none of your business Yusuke."

Getting sick of Jasmine glaring at him, Yusuke then snapped at her, "Hey, stop looking at me like at."

Not wanting a fight to break out, Kuwabara stepped in between them, "Urameshi, calm down. Now is not the time for a fight. Do you want us to get kicked out of here?"

Deciding that he was right, Yusuke threw up his hands and put them down by his sides, "Okay. I still can't believe that there is someone willing to date the toddler, you know?"

Hearing what Yusuke called her best male friend and lover, Jasmine then felt insulted. Koenma sighed in annoyance and then Jasmine shouted at him, "Hey!"

Kuwabara groaned in agitation and deciding to change the subject, he then turned around getting a bright idea for a new topic, "Hey Jasmine."

Softening the look on her face, she shifted her attention to her best human friend's brother, "Yes Kazuma?"

Scratching the back of his head, he then asked her, "I was wondering if we could set up my visit to the Mushiori University campus? I keep forgetting to because, you know, we have our own lives and stuff going on and I was wondering when will a good time be."

Jasmine sat there and stared at her empty plate for a minute and looked back up at Kazuma and said, "How does next weekend sound? I'm off from work both Saturday and Sunday and also Friday. Which one works best?"

Kuwabara thought about it for a moment and shrugged his broad shoulders, "I'm not doing anything on Saturday."

The Alaskan demon hunter smiled, "Great, sounds perfect. How about we meet at my apartment at ten? Does that sound reasonable?"

Kuwabara smiled and nodded in agreement, "Yeah that does. Thank you Jasmine."

"No problem."

She then checked her watch and deciding to leave even though she could stay longer, Jasmine said pretending that she was in a hurry, "Yikes, I didn't realize I...uh...need to go. I...um...gotta go pay my utility bill and get some groceries or me, Kotennyo and Koashura are not going to have anything to eat for the next two weeks."

Koenma stared at her with confusion, "I thought it was Kotennyo's turn to pay for the bills this month?"

Slinging her black and white handbag over her shoulder and getting up from her seat, Jasmine gave her prince an apologetic look, "Well, I...um...promised that I'd help her with the groceries. Hell, that's what best girlfriends are for right?"

She slipped out of her seat in the booth and kissed Koenma on the cheek, "I love you Koenma. Call me this evening when you get finished with your paperwork."

Koenma gave her a quick kiss on her small pink lips, "I love you too Jasmine. I will."

Shifting her attention to Kuwabara she gave him a sweet smile, "Bye Kazuma. Have a good week at school and see you next weekend."

She then gave Yusuke an ice cold look, "Later Urameshi."

As she walked away, Yusuke swore he heard Jasmine say in a quiet voice only he could hear, "Asshole."

The diner's door then shut with a semi-loud bang and Koenma got up from his seat and gave Yusuke an angry look. Yusuke then began to sweat nervously seeing how pissed his former boss looked, "Hey Koenma, I was..."

"I can't believe you Yusuke. I thought you changed but noooooooooo...you're still such a jerk that doesn't know when to keep his damn mouth shut. Do me a favor and stay the hell out of my personal life. I am so glad that you don't work for me anymore, if you did, I would fire you right here, right now!" The prince roared causing many of the diner patrons to watch the scene that was unfolding in front of them.

"Look Koenma..."

Koenma reached into his back pocket and withdrew the wallet Genkai let him use and paid for his and Jasmine's meal. He then interrupted Yusuke once again, "Stuff it. I didn't need you embarrassing me. I'm going back home before my father gets back to see that I'm not there. Yusuke, Kuwabara, it was good seeing you guys again."

The prince stuffed his wallet in his back pocket and left the diner in a huff being angry at Yusuke for the first time in over a year. The next day, Genkai sat peacefully meditating in front of her shrine but, her quiet time was soon interrupted by an unexpected visitor.

The person behind her cleared his throat and then spoke, "Are you Genkai?"

The small old psychic opened her eyes and responded without turning around, "Yes. Who the hell are you?"

The man then spoke again, "Oh, I apologize. Where are my manners? I'm Hiroto Nagisa III and I run Sunset Records which is an independent record label located in Mushiori City, I have been hearing the buzz about your band Exit Strategy and I was wondering if they would be interested in signing with us. I have a feeling that they could become the next big thing if they decide to. That Korrie Loveless has a voice unlike any other artist out there."

Genkai just sat there wide eyed and turned around looked at the young ordinary human man. Before she could say anything, Mr. Nagisa continued, "Is Mr. Loveless around by any chance? If not, perhaps I could speak to Mr. Smith, Doomass, or Marsh?"

Finally able to find her voice, Genkai then said, "They are not here right now. Korrie is quite busy with other obligations as is John, Sammie, and Kyle. Um...you see...Korrie is my grandson and he works long hours at his job."

"Do you have a number where I can contact him at?"

Not wanting to expose Koenma for what and who he really is, Genkai then thought of a cover story fast, "I'm afraid that wouldn't be possible. His job is actually very private being that he works at a government facility. How about I can just relay the message to him the next time he comes to visit me?"

Mr. Nagisa gave the small old woman a warm smile, nodding with understanding and reached into the pocket of his suit jacket, "Certainly." He then withdrew a business card and handed it her, "The next time you see your grandson, have him and his band mates contact me. Thank you for your time Madam Genkai and I look forward to hearing from Mr. Loveless and his buddies."

The ordinary human man then turned around and left the compound. Genkai just stared at the business card she held in her small wrinkled hands and said to herself, "I don't know how Koenma and the guys are going to react to this but; I guess it's worth a shot."

Later that afternoon in Spirit World, Koenma was hard at work with his stacks upon stacks of paperwork again.

Stamp...rustle...stamp...rustle

The currently toddler looking prince sighed to himself, "Work, work, work. That's all I ever do. Dad is being a lazy son of a bitch again going off doing God-knows-what."

Stamp...rustle...stamp...rustle

"Oh wait I know what he's doing. He and that masked bastard are kidnapping innocent demons and brainwashing them to do things that they wouldn't have been known to do while breaking the seventy year old treaty he made with the McAlpin Clan. Not that I can prove it. Who the hell would believe my word over my father's anyway?"

Stamp...rustle...stamp...rustle

While he continued with stamping and processing his current stack, those thoughts and more continued to stir in Koenma's head. Now over halfway finished with this current stack he was working on, his mind went wandering thinking about something else.

Since coming back from his summer trip in Alaska, he still wondered who that mysterious ghostly veiled woman in white was. Something about her was familiar to him but, he couldn't pin point what it was.

Now finished with that current stack, Koenma set his wooden stamping tool on his desk. He brought his small hands up to his cute chubby face and closed his large brown eyes as he began to massage his temples. He currently had such a bad migraine but, he continued to think about the woman in white wondering if she was a guardian angel of some sort or perhaps a stalker.

He just didn't know and prayed that it was the former rather than the latter. His thoughts were soon interrupted when Jorge walked in carrying his big book of sheet music. Hearing his office door open, Koenma stopped massaging his temples and put his hands down opened his eyes looking at his blue ogre servant and friend, "It's time huh?"

Jorge nodded, "Yes sir."

Koenma then groaned in annoyance and followed Jorge out of his office to the palace music room. Walking through the large green double doors, they walked over to the area where the piano and the other instruments and the music stands were located. As Jorge set up his sheet music Koenma then reached into his pocket and took out a folded up piece of parchment.

Looking at the folded parchment he then decided to come out and say it, "Ogre, I have just written lyrics for a brand new song or more like more than one for our band. It took me all summer and throughout most of our vacation in Alaska."

Jorge looked over at his currently pint sized boss, "What is it called?"

Koenma carefully unfolded the parchment and read the title, "This one is called "In Too Deep". I still feel like it's not ready for the musical composition yet."

"Why don't you just sing it acapella? I would love to hear it sir. I'm sure it's great." Jorge said offering the prince words of encouragement.

Koenma looked up at Jorge tightly gripping the parchment in his small hands in nervousness. He looked back at it, took a deep breath, and his beautifully enchanting Mezzo Soprano voice filled the music room as he sang the first verse of the song:

You're a liar

You're a creep

I wish I was never related to you

Because you're the biggest backstabber I know

Oh how I can't stand you

Jorge just silently sat there listening to Koenma and he knew right away that this song was going to be about King Yama or possibly have more than that.

I feel like I am in too deep having to put up with your nonsense

You're someone who doesn't even have a conscience

All you do is ruin the lives of the innocent

You're the reason why people have turned against me

Tis why I am in too deep

As Koenma went into the second verse, Jorge began to get an idea of how he was going to compose the music for this song:

I am tired of being your patsy and your pawn

How could I be blamed for your crimes when I didn't do anything wrong?

You claim you are for the greater good

But we all know you are just full of shit

Koenma paused for just less than a minute to take a breath and continued with the second chorus and the third and final verse:

I feel like I am in too deep having to put up with your nonsense

You're someone who doesn't even have a conscience

All you do is ruin the lives of the innocent

You're the reason why people have turned against me

Tis why I am in too deep

All because of you, one of my friends wound up losing their mind

Another has to suffer and be punished for his birthright

Everyone is fooled into believing that your are great and kind

But, I and a select few know of your true nature

You're two faced and a liar and everyone will someday know it too

Jorge continued to listen intently enjoying his boss's new song. He was really looking forward to composing the music to this and he just hoped Koenma would let him. The prince then finished his song with the final chorus:

I feel like I am in too deep having to put up with your nonsense

You're someone who doesn't even have a conscience

All you do is ruin the lives of the innocent

You're the reason why people have turned against me

Tis why I am in too deep

When Koenma stopped singing, Jorge then brought his blue hands together and gave him a round of applause. Tightly gripping the piece of parchment, Koenma blinking his large brown eyes and stared at his servant and friend in confusion and a small moment later, he then spoke finding his voice, "It wasn't that good was it?"

Jorge stopped clapping and nodded, "It was sir. You don't need to do anything more to it. Please let me compose the music for your adult voice and the instrumental parts. This song is excellent for the band. Please Koenma sir?"

The currently toddler looking prince sighed and shrugged his small shoulders and handed Jorge the lyrics sheet, "Okay, why the hell not?"

The blue ogre smiled in gratitude and placed the piece of parchment into his music binder, "What were the other songs you wrote over the break?"

At Jorge's question, Koenma sucked on his pacifier for a moment and then responded, "One is another love song for Jasmine called "Snow Queen" and another one that's only halfway finished called "Welcome to the Asylum". I'll give you the lyrics for "Snow Queen" later. I left them in the secret compartment inside my desk in my office. When I'm finished with "Welcome to the Asylum", I'll give them to you."

Jorge gave his boss a smile and nodded with understanding, "I'm looking forward to it sir." Deciding to change the subject somewhat, he then asked, "So are you ready to practice your scales now? I'm counting that little acapella moment as part of your warm up."

Koenma smiled behind his pacifier and nodded, "Yes Ogre, let's start."

Jorge then shifted his attention to the piano and played the first note when Koenma sang out the first one as he began to practice his scales. That Saturday morning, Kuwabara and Yusuke stepped off the bus just a couple of blocks away from the college trio's apartment.

The former spirit detective looked around and commented to his best friend, "Looks like this Jasmine chick lives in kind of a rough neighborhood."

They walked down the sidewalk and Yusuke asked Kuwabara, "Kuwabara, remind me why I'm here. I have no aspirations to go to college. I just want to get a job and continue on with my life that way."

Kuwabara sighed not wanting to deal with his half demon friend's nonsense today, "Urameshi, you're just tagging along as moral support. I'm just really nervous about this whole college thing and I just want a friend with me to help me feel comfortable."

"I thought you said you knew Jasmine."

Kuwabara slipped his hands into the pockets of his jacket and shrugged his broad shoulders, "I do...sort of. Jasmine is more like Shizuru's friend than mine. Hell, I didn't get to meet her until Kurama's mom's wedding last summer even though Shizuru has known her since high school."

The two young men approached the apartment gates and Kuwabara pressed the button to the intercom of the college trio's second floor apartment and a voice of a young man spoke, "Yeah, how can we help you?"

Kuwabara pressed the button again and replied, "It's Kazuma Kuwabara with Yusuke Urameshi, can you tell Jasmine we're here?"

The guy spoke again, "Sure, hang on Kazuma and I'll buzz you guys up."

"Thanks man."

"No problem."

Yusuke and Kuwabara were let through the front gate and walked the grounds before they entered the apartment building. After they entered, they were now walking up the stairs and Yusuke asked his human friend, "Who was that?"

Being at least two steps ahead of him, the young psychic replied, "That was one of Jasmine's roommates."

Seeing the look on Yusuke's face, Kuwabara sighed and rolled his dark eyes, "He has a girlfriend which is Jasmine's other roommate and other best friend. Hell, all three of them are friends and Jasmine only sees that guy as another brother. Hell, they fight like their siblings."

Now on the second floor, Yusuke looked around, "So, which one is their's?"

"Right this way Urameshi." Kuwabara gestured in the direction towards the apartment. Less than a minute later, the former spirit detectives approached a thick brown wooden door with a golden colored letter and numbers nailed at the top just underneath the peephole that read:

10B

Kuwabara knocked on the door and footsteps could be heard inside. Then they heard clicking sounds of the door being unlocked and when it opened, they were greeted by a tall handsome young man with pale skin, long red hair, red eyes and pointed ears with the right one pierced with a gold hoop earring who answered the door.

Yusuke just stared at him feeling like he met this guy from somewhere but not really sure where from. The guy smiled, "Hey Kazuma. Oh Yusuke Urameshi, it's nice to see you again."

The half demon ex-spirit detective blinked in confusion, "I'm sorry, have we met?"

The guy chuckled and let the two teenagers into the apartment and shut the door behind him, "Yeah, I'm surprised you don't even recognize me. I'm Koashura, you know from the Magma Valley Case."

The name Koashura rang a few bells in his head, "Yeah, I do. Weren't you the little punk who kidnapped and tried to kill Koenma because he stole some girl that you had a crush on from a long time ago?"

Being reminded of that incident, Koashura sighed, "Yeah and that's all in the past now. Koenma has already forgiven me for it and we are now friends again."

Yusuke nodded and then asked, "How come you don't look like a little toddler right now?"

Before Koashura could respond to Yusuke's question, Kotennyo walked out of the spare bedroom holding a paintbrush dripping with wet blue paint, "That's because he gave that form up to save my life."

She set the wet paintbrush in the kitchen sink and Yusuke looked over at her, "Hey, I remember you, you're from the diner. What was your name again?"

Kotennyo walked into the living room and stood beside her boyfriend, "Kotennyo and before you start asking me the same question you asked Koashura, I gave mine up a few years ago."

"If you guys are permanently in your adult bodies, then why the hell does Koenma still have his toddler form? Aren't you guys like the same age or something?"

At the mention of her ex, Kotennyo shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know but, Koashura and I think he's just probably not ready to give it up yet."

Grabbing his pop can off the wooden coffee table, Koashura took a sip and added, "Though he did mention that he will when he and Jasmine get married but, that's not going to happen for a while. We know how Jasmine is, she said she wants to hold off on that until she's finished with school."

At her lover's words, Kotennyo then said, "Aren't we doing the same thing Koashura? Didn't we decide that you weren't going to propose to me until we both graduate with our degrees?"

Taking another sip from his soda, the young redheaded god nodded, "Yes we are."

Yusuke eyed the two gods curiously and asked, "You guys are in college too?"

Koashura and Kotennyo both nodded and the redhead responded, "Yep, I'm a music education major and Kotennyo is an art major. Her paintings, drawings, and sculptures are amazing. She's very talented."

Kotennyo giggled like a schoolgirl at her boyfriend's comment, "You flatterer."

Koashura kissed her cheek making her blush pink, "Well, it's true."

Shifting their attention back to Yusuke and Kuwabara, Koashura then asked, "So Kazuma, Yusuke what are you guys looking to major in college after high school?"

The former spirit detective then waved his hands saying, "I'm not looking to go to college. Hell, I can't stand school so, I'm just going to look for a job. But, this lug head here wants to become a doctor like your curly haired roommate."

Kuwabara chuckled at his friend's words, "No offense Urameshi but, I'm probably going to go farther in life than you are. You know since you're not going to school anymore. You could at least just get your GED."

At what Kuwabara just said, Yusuke was so tempted to punch him in the face right now but, he decided to nail him later. So, he just rolled his chocolate brown eyes instead, "I'll be fine Kuwabara, it can't be that hard to find a job in this city."

The other three apartment occupants just gave him blank stares and breaking the silence the voice of Jasmine spoke, "I thought you needed at least a high school diploma or a GED to apply for a decent job these days."

Her two inhuman roommates and the two super powered teenagers shifted their attention to her. With her black and white handbag slung over her slender shoulder, Jasmine walked in with an apologetic look on her face, "Sorry to keep you waiting Kazuma, I was just on the phone with my cousin Bonnie that lives in Oklahoma. Man, she can yak your ear off."

Finishing off his grape soda, Koashura then asked his human friend, "So is everything okay?"

Jasmine nodded as she sat on the leather couch and slipped on her purple heels, "Oh yeah, she was just calling to let me know that she's going to be coming to visit around Halloween. So, that means she'll get to meet you guys and Koenma while also visiting with me, my family and Shizuru."

"Which cousin is this? Does she have a high spiritual awareness too?" Kuwabara asked his fellow psychic.

With her shoes finally on her feet, Jasmine stood up and simply replied, "She's from my dad's family. Bonnie is my Aunt Rhonda's youngest daughter. She's my sister's age and no she doesn't have any spiritual awareness to speak of and neither does any one of my other Okie relatives. Bonnie's pretty cool, you guys are going to love her even if she's an ordinary human."

Glancing at Yusuke, she then said changing the subject giving him a blank stare, "Kazuma didn't mention that you're going to be coming along."

Yusuke felt his anger begin to rise and before he could say anything to Jasmine in response, Kuwabara then interrupted, "Sorry about that Jasmine but, I wanted to bring a friend along as like moral support because, I am so nervous about this college thing. Could Urameshi come along? He's not going to be checking out the school because; he doesn't want to go to college. I swear to keep him in line. Please?"

Looking at her best human friend's brother's pleading look, Jasmine decided to be nice and responded, "Sure, what the hell but, if he starts to be a jerk, I won't hesitate to tell him where to stick it."

Kuwabara then raised his hand, "We promise, right Urameshi?"

Yusuke sighed feeling like this whole outing was going to be a big waste of his time, "Yeah whatever."

"Good."

Jasmine then turned around and walked in the direction towards her apartment door hearing Yusuke mumble to Kuwabara, "I'll be good as long as the Eskimo midget doesn't act a bitch the entire time."

Hearing the half demon former sprit detective call her an "Eskimo Midget", Jasmine tightly gripped onto her purse straps and rolled her large brown eyes. She wanted so much to grab Yusuke by his neck and strangle him but, she took a deep breath and decided to maintain her self control remembering the breathing exercises from her anger management course.

Jasmine hated it when people used the words "midget", "bug eyes", "crazy eyes", "frizz ball", and especially "Eskimo" to describe her. Since she moved to Mushiori City from Valdez, Alaska eight years ago, people had used those words and derogatory names on her when she was being made fun of while she still attended Sarayashiki Junior High and Meiou High School.

The young demon hunter hadn't heard them that often since she started her classes at Mushiori University and the last time the word "Eskimo" was used on her was a week and a half ago when she bumped into her ex-boyfriend Makoto when she and Koenma were on a date at Club Red. She shook her head and decided to banish that thought from her mind.

The word "Eskimo" just offends her to no end and she wanted nothing more than to beat the shit out of Yusuke for using it just now. Jasmine was brought back to reality when she heard Kuwabara speak to him in kind of an angry manner, "Urameshi that wasn't polite. Please, I am begging you, be nice to her. Jasmine is a lot like Koenma when someone offends her but, I'd say that she's a whole lot worse."

Jasmine opened up her apartment door and bid Koashura and Kotennyo to have a good afternoon and Yusuke and Kuwabara followed her out. The young freelance demon hunter stayed silent as she eavesdropped on their conversation.

Yusuke then asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Kuwabara then whispered back, "You know how Koenma can get angry, mean, and very spiteful when someone pisses him off?"

"Yeah?"

"Well, let's just say that Jasmine becomes quite the ice queen when someone makes her angry. Hell, Shizuru told me she beat the shit out of her two ex-boyfriends when she found out how jerky they were. She put one of them in the hospital."

Yusuke snickered at the "ice queen" bit. Kuwabara rolled his dark eyes, "What the hell is so funny?"

The Mazoku stopped snickering and responded, "Technically, she is an "ice queen" being that she's from Alaska and all."

Hearing that, Jasmine then said to herself in her head, "I'll show you "ice queen" Urameshi. We Alaskans are harsh and unforgiving like our homeland. Keep it up and the "ice queen" will unleash a can of Alaskan whoop ass on you."

Kuwabara sighed in annoyance for Yusuke's stupid Alaska and Eskimo jokes. The two psychics and the half demon ex-spirit detective left the apartment complex less than a minute later. The short fifteen minute bus ride to the Mushiori University campus was very silent and awkward for Yusuke and Jasmine and Kuwabara prayed that the two wouldn't start fighting with each other.

The last thing he wanted was to get kicked off the campus of the college he wanted to go to or have Jasmine be expelled. They stepped off the bus when they arrived at the gates of the university. Yusuke looked around the campus grounds when they stepped inside, "This is going to be a long day."

Suddenly he felt Kuwabara nudge his side, "Ow, what was that for?"

The red haired psychic whispered in his ear "Shut it Urameshi. Please, I am begging you; don't screw this up for me."

Yusuke rubbed the sore spot and grumbled in response, "Okay, you didn't need to be an asshole about it."

They were interrupted by the sound of Jasmine clearing her throat. Both teenagers glanced at the college girl who had her hands placed on her small hips and she said in an impatient voice, "Are we going to get this started or what? We are already running a bit late and plus, I have other things to do today."

Kuwabara scratched the back of his head and gave her an apologetic look, "Sorry about that but, I'm just trying to get this jerk to behave himself."

Removing her hands off her hips and gripped her purse straps with her left hand, Jasmine then responded, "Fair enough." She then gestured in the direction of the path that lead to the water fountain, "Follow me and we'll start with the medical school and make our way around campus. Does that sound good?"

Kuwabara nodded, "Yeah."

Yusuke let out a bored sigh and Kuwabara nudged him again to get him to shut up. Hearing that, Jasmine rolled her eyes and just ignored it. A few minutes later they approached the medical school building and the young demon hunter spoke, "We are now approaching the medical school. Inside there are large classrooms and lab rooms with all of the up to date technology in them."

She then gestured for Kuwabara and Yusuke to follow her inside. Walking inside the building, Kuwabara looked around the lobby in awe but, Yusuke on the other hand, just had a blank bored expression. They approached the front desk and the ordinary human behind the counter then looked up, "Oh hello Jasmine. Showing some possible future students around?"

The psychic med student nodded, "Yes but, only one of them is. The other one is his friend who's just here to support him."

The ordinary Japanese woman then asked, "So which one of these young men is it?"

Jasmine put her hand on Kuwabara's broad shoulder, "This fine young man here. This is Kazuma Kuwabara and he's a sophomore at the prep school that's connected to this university. He is greatly interested in attending this school after he graduates."

Kuwabara politely bowed to the woman, "It's a pleasure to meet you...um"

The woman at the front desk chuckled, "I'm Miss Takashiro the receptionist. It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Kuwabara."

Jasmine then checked her watch and then said apologetically, "I'm so sorry to interrupt Miss Takashiro but, we are kind of in a bit of a time crunch."

Miss Takashiro nodded with understanding, "Oh, I didn't mean to distract you Jasmine. Talk to you later."

Jasmine sweetly smiled and said in response, "That's okay. You have a good day."

"Right back at you."

Yusuke and Kuwabara followed the psychic college student out of the reception area and into one of the medical school's hallways. While she was leading them down the hallway, Jasmine talked about and gestured towards the classrooms and explaining about which classes she attended and what Kuwabara should expect when he gets in.

When they reached one of the lab rooms which was currently locked but the inside of it still had its lights on being that some of the staff were in there preparing for the upcoming semester, Jasmine then spoke, "This is one of the biology labs where you'll be doing the hands on portion of your science classes."

Kuwabara then asked, "What kind of stuff do you guys do in there?"

Jasmine formed a sweet smile on her pretty face, "I'm glad you asked that Kazuma. One of the major things we get to do in there is handling and studying with cadavers."

Yusuke rose one of his black eyebrows at her, "What the hell is a cadaver?"

The Alaskan demon hunter shifted her attention to the half demon ex-spirit detective and gave him a wicked smile that kind of gave him the creeps, "A cadaver is a dead human body that we study with to learn in great detail about the many organ systems, organs, tissues, and cells in our bodies."

Hearing that, Yusuke felt like he was going to be sick and thought he was going to puke. Jasmine burst loud laughing at his reaction, "What's the matter Urameshi? I thought you wouldn't be grossed out by this. I mean, didn't you kill people when you were still spirit detective? I thought death and dead bodies wouldn't bother you or perhaps, the reason you're no longer spirit detective anymore is because you're such a lightweight?"

"You bitch!" Yusuke then took step towards her wanting nothing more than to punch her pretty face in.

Kuwabara luckily stepped in between them in the nick of time, "Cut it out guys. Please don't start beating the crap out of each other. I don't want any of us to get in trouble and get kicked out of here."

Jasmine sighed, "Kazuma you're right. It's not worth it for me to get kicked out of college because of some disrespectful greasy haired weasel that doesn't know when to keep his damn mouth shut."

Yusuke then struggled against Kuwabara's grasp, "Bite me you psychopathic Eskimo!"

She burst out laughing in response feeling her anger begin to rise, "What? Me working with dead bodies as a part of my college education make me a psychopath? Wow, way to make snap judgments Urameshi. You didn't even give me the chance to say that those bodies were donated to this university. Koenma is right, you are an idiot."

She then gestured the two teenagers to follow her down the hallway again deciding to drop the subject. Yusuke stopped struggling against Kuwabara and they began to follow Jasmine once more. The former spirit detective began to grumble, "Not only is this bullshit boring but, I am beginning to think that college students including the one we're with are all stuck up and snobby."

Jasmine rolled her large brown eyes hearing every word Yusuke said and tightly gripped her black purse straps trying to ignore him despite having the urge to turn around and punch in the face. Kuwabara sighed in annoyance again and this time he was beginning to lose his patience, "Urameshi, please shut up. You're supposed to be supportive but instead, you're being a total jerk. I am begging you, please stop complaining and irritating Jasmine. Don't you say that she started it because, she didn't, you did with your stupid crap. Yeah, I know you don't want to go to college and how you and Jasmine didn't get off to a good start but, please can we make the rest of this pleasant?"

Yusuke stuffed his hands into the pockets of his green jacket and let out a loud sigh, "Alright Kuwabara, I'll just do it for you but, next time you want to drag me along for another college thing, don't!"

"Okay, I won't next time, I promise."

The rest of Kuwabara's college visit was peaceful despite the tension between Yusuke and Jasmine. The red haired psychic wound up going home with the information he needed about the university and their medical program and Yusuke was glad when it was over. Feeling the same way, Jasmine made her way back to her apartment complex, feeling the angriest she had been since finding out about what a scumbag King Yama is.

Arriving at the gates, she pressed the button for Koashura and Kotennyo to let her in. Kotennyo's voice then spoke on the intercom, "Yes who is this and how can we help you?"

Jasmine pressed the button and responded, "Hey guys, it's me. I'm back."

Kotennyo let her through the gate and seconds later, Jasmine made it up to her door and knocked. Koashura let her in and seeing the look on his human friend's face, he then asked, "Hey...what's wrong?"

Jasmine stepped into the apartment and removed her coat and her shoes. Koashura shut the door behind her and the young demon hunter stomped into the living room and threw her purse onto the leather couch saying with such hatred and anger in her voice, "Fuck Yusuke Urameshi!"

Botan practically jumped from nearly being hit with the purse, "What happened?"

Feeling bad for almost hitting the lovely grim reaper who was waiting for her, Jasmine took a deep breath and responded, "He is such an asshole. You guys want to know something?"

Kotennyo walked out of kitchen after microwaving a burrito, "What?"

Burying her hands in her long brown curls and still breathing heavily, the college psychic continued, "I felt sorry for him while he was in Demon World the entire time he was there and from finding out about how he has a bounty on his head." She dropped her hands at her sides and continued with her rant, "Botan, I don't know how you guys put up with his shit. Do you want to know what he calls me?"

Koashura sat down on the recliner and turned off the TV, "What does he call you?"

She plopped down on the couch next to Botan and grumbled, "He calls me "ice queen", "psychopath", "midget", and "Eskimo". The first three don't offend me all that much but, "Eskimo", I fucking hate it! I have been putting up with people calling me that or making Alaska jokes since I moved here and the last time someone called me that was when Koenma and I bumped into my ex-boyfriend Makoto at the club. I hated it when he did it and I still hate it now. I swear, Urameshi better watch his back because if he pisses me off anymore, there will be hell to pay and I mean it."

Botan patted her shoulder to comfort her, "Jasmine you're not the only one Yusuke has made stupid jokes about or been called stupid names. I have, Kuwabara has, Kurama has, even Hiei has, and Koenma got it or still gets it a lot."

Deciding to change the subject and looking at the cat clock hanging on the wall, the lovely grim reaper responded, "Speaking of Koenma, why don't you take your mind off this whole thing to go see him? He is expecting you."

Jasmine slapped herself on her forehead, "Shit, I can't believe I forgot."

Getting up off the couch and grabbing her purse, Koashura then decided to interject, "Jas, before you go, I need to relay a message to Koenma."

She and Botan shifted their attention to him and Jasmine slung her purse over her shoulder, "Sure, what about?"

"While you were gone, Genkai called and told me that earlier this week, she was visited by the head of some independent record label Sunset Records and asked if Koenma and us would be interested in signing with them. I explained to her that I was but, we needed to discuss it with the whole band before we do anything. While you're in Spirit World, tell Koenma, Jorge, and Shunjun about it so we can set up a time when we can meet at Genkai's compound to discuss it with her and each other."

Jasmine nodded, "Sure Koashura, I'll do that."

She slipped her coat and shoes back on and bid Koashura and Kotennyo to have a good evening and she and Botan left the apartment. Minutes later, they arrived in Spirit World and Botan landed her oar in front of the large palace. The poor grim reaper struggled to breathe for a minute and before she could ask Jasmine to let go, the young psychic did hearing her friend's gasps.

Jasmine unwrapped her thin arms from around Botan's waist and hopped off her oar and said apologetically, "Sorry again Botan."

Finally able to breathe, she nodded, "I'm okay Jasmine." She made her oar disappear and pressed the intercom button.

The ogre on the other side answered, "Yeah, who is this?"

"It's Botan and I have someone here to see Lord Koenma."

"Okay, we're opening the gate."

Meanwhile in Koenma's office, once again, the now tall and handsome prince was once again hard at work trying to complete his work of stacks upon stacks of paperwork. After stamping and processing a few more documents, he looked up and glanced at his clock hanging on the wall and realized that Jasmine was due to show up any minute to come see him.

Just then, the large pink and yellow double doors to his office opened and in walked Botan and Jasmine. Koenma tore his beautiful brown eyes away from the clock and formed a smile on his handsome face gazing at his human lover.

In return, Jasmine gave him a weak smile and seeing that, he began to grow concerned that something was wrong, "Jasmine is everything okay? How did Kuwabara's visit to the university go?"

She looked down at her feet and sighed, "It kind of sucked...no, it really sucked."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

Still looking at her feet, she nodded, "Yeah."

Koenma shifted his attention to Botan, "Thank you for bringing her here Botan, could you leave us alone now?"

Realizing that her break was over, she nodded, "Sure Koenma sir. You two have fun." She then left the room winking at the cute couple.

Jasmine stopped looking at her feet and she and Koenma laughed at her being suggestive. When Botan left the two of them alone, Jasmine approached her loving boyfriend's desk. She looked up at him and sighed, "How did you put up with Yusuke Urameshi's bullshit?"

Koenma just sat there and blinked his beautiful brown eyes, cleared his throat and responded, "When Yusuke and I first met, he met me when I was in my other more

degrading form. Unlike your reaction to it, he made fun of me. I admit, I was very angry at him for humiliating me and I wanted nothing more than to make his life ordeal very difficult for him and after I revived him, I still wanted to make him suffer for it."

Jasmine hoisted herself up onto Koenma's desk, sat down and asked, "Did you?"

He nodded, "Yes I did. I thought hiring him as a spirit detective would be a good way to punish him, well other than wanting a spirit detective that didn't think too much like Sensui did, and at first, I didn't care about what happened to him. I gave him difficult and dangerous cases and when Jorge or Botan called me out on it, I always made up lame excuses to cover my ass. When the Dark Tournament rolled around, I began to realize how much of a jerk I was to him and looking back on my past actions, I began to feel remorseful and wanted to make it up to him in any way I could."

Jasmine took his hands in her own and softly kissed his long fingers and Koenma continued, "Yes, Yusuke still kept teasing me and calling me names but, I began to grow numb to it and learned to either ignore him or think of good comebacks to throw it back into his face. I began to find him amusing and kind of fun to hang out with and I sort of considered him as a friend."

Still holding his hands and gently rubbing her cheek against the back of one, Jasmine then asked, "So you and Yusuke are like "frienemies"?"

The prince laughed, "I guess you can say that. Jasmine, don't take what he says to heart. Yeah, I know how it can be difficult to ignore his stupid jokes and nasty names but, it's best not to let it bother you."

Jasmine let go of his hands and Koenma stood up from his chair and cupped her face with them. Gazing into her eyes, he then added, "Jasmine, I know how your anger sometimes gets the better of you but, I have noticed that you are getting better. Little by little each day and who knows, Yusuke may apologize for his stupidity, if not, just try to laugh it off."

He gave her a sweet smile and pressed his forehead against hers. The young demon hunter removed his pacifier and Koenma tilted her face up to his and they shared a deep and loving kiss.

Jasmine let out a deep moan when he slipped his tongue into her mouth and caressed hers with his. She responded doing the same as Koenma lowered his hands down her neck and onto her small shoulders. They wrapped their arms around each other to hold each other close as they deepened the kiss.

Both lovers moaned into their passionate lip lock and Koenma lowered Jasmine down onto his desk. He then broke the kiss to trail soft kisses onto her neck. Feeling his luscious lips brush that sensitive spot, she gasped, "Koenma!"

Her moans grew louder as he began to lick, nip, bite and suck on her neck. Koenma then moved his strong hand up her leg; pushing the skirt of her dress up, exposing the black thong she wore underneath. Jasmine could feel her body heating up and her pussy getting wet thinking about the two of them taking this passionate makeout session further.

She was getting so turned on to the thought of her and Koenma having hot, passionate and possible rough and sweaty sex on top of his desk and the added risk of someone like Jorge, Botan, and Ayame walking in and catching them in the act made her even wetter. Jasmine then brought one of her small dainty hands up and tugged on her lover's hair.

Koenma stopped sucking on her neck and hissed from the pain that brought him a little bit of pleasure. He looked down at her and seeing the naughty twinkle he loved glinting in her large brown eyes, he felt his cock begin to grow hard. Koenma licked his lips and darkly smirked at her, "You want me don't you?"

Jasmine sat up and put her hands on his chest, returning the same dark smirk, "Yes I do my prince." She began to slowly run her hands down his chest and said in a low and seductive voice, "Oh Koenma I want you. I want you to make love to me on top of this desk. I want to you to eat my pussy and taste my sweet juices and I want you to make me cum hard. I also want to suck your big cock and make you cum in my mouth. Oh god, I'm getting so hot just thinking about us being so naughty in here."

Hearing talking so dirty was such a turn on for him and feeling his erection growing harder by the minute, Koenma placed his hands on the outer part of Jasmine thighs and then forced her legs open. At his forceful nature, Jasmine giggled getting more and more turned on by each passing moment.

Without saying another word, Koenma brought their lips together in a hungry and passionate kiss. Jasmine moaned like an animal in heat and kissed him back hungrily and passionate with such need and wanting. She needed and wanted this and after having to deal with Yusuke's stupid crap today, she really needed and wanted the comfort.

Still sharing their hot and intense kiss, Koenma brought one of his hands to the back of Jasmine's head and began to gently massage her scalp earning a seductive purr from her. With his free hand, he reached behind her and began to unzip the back of her dress. Taking his hand away from the back of Jasmine's head and placing it at the small of her back, Koenma broke the kiss and began to kiss her neck again.

Jasmine arched her neck back and loudly moaned when he began to suck on that sensitive spot again. Once her dress was completely unzipped, Koenma stopped sucking on her neck and trailed soft kisses down her neck, onto her collarbone and slipped the garment off her shoulder and showered that soft skin with his sweet kisses.

He then slipped the dress off her other shoulder and showered that area with kisses too. Koenma pulled away and Jasmine hopped off his desk and let her dress fall to the floor revealing that she wasn't wearing a bra but, she only wore her black thong and black thigh high stockings along with her purple heels. Koenma could feel his cock growing harder while gazing at the beautiful sight before him.

He reached out and gently cupped Jasmine's small perky naked breasts in his hands. The young demon hunter shut her eyes at the wonderful feeling of him massaging them and playing with her erect pink nipples. Koenma knelt down and licked one of the taut nipples and began to nip, bite, and suck on it while massaging the other breast making Jasmine moan.

She opened her eyes and looked down at him lovingly while running her fingers through her lover's hair. A minute or two later, Koenma switched to her other breast to give it the same treatment. After playing with her beautiful breasts, Koenma stood back up and said in a low and sultry voice, "Lay down on my desk."

Feeling so aroused by her lover's sexy manner, Jasmine smiled with that naughty twinkle glinting in her large brown eyes, "Yes my prince."

She hoisted her thin 5'0" body on the desk and laid down. Koenma walked up to her and began to gently ghost his fingertips over her semi-nude body. Without warning, he gently flipped her over onto her stomach and did the same thing going down her back. Jasmine shuddered feeling his soft smooth lips trailing kisses down her back.

When he reached her tailbone region, Koenma pulled her thong down to see the series of pink birthmarks that were clustered like meteor shower that peppered her snow white skin of that area. He ghosted his fingertip over them and said as he softly kissed each one, "So beautiful, so sexy...oh Jasmine."

At his touch and hearing him say that, Jasmine shuddered again feeling her body heat up and her pussy getting wetter. After kissing the last pink birthmark, Koenma rolled her back onto her back and removed her black thong and tossed it on the floor next to her dress. Now naked in all of her glory with only her purple heels and black thigh highs, Jasmine gladly spread her legs for him and began to beg, "Please Koenma, please eat my pussy."

He sat back down on his plush red chair, darkly smirking and pulling his chair up to her, "Yes my queen."

He kissed up her leg to her inner thigh and started to tease her by kissing, licking, and nipping that milky white flesh of that sensitive area. Jasmine loudly moaned tugged on his hair, "Don't tease me!"

Koenma chuckled and stopped teasing her. Finally giving in to her demands, he spread her pussy lips apart and leaned in and gave her dripping wet cunt a small lick. Jasmine let out a loud moan at the feeling of his tongue licking her up tasting and savoring her juices.

"Mmmmmm...Jasmine you taste so good."

Hearing him say that was such a turn on and tightly shutting her eyes as she writhed from the pleasure he was giving her, feeling him licking and sucking on her throbbing clit, she reached down and planted her small dainty hands in his hair and gently guided his face closer to her crotch. Wanting to make her scream out his name, Koenma slipped a finger into her sopping wet entrance and began to pump it in and out of her.

He got his wish when she choked out, "Oh god Koenma!"

The prince looked up at her and could feel how hard his cock was getting seeing her lost in pleasure and hearing her moans. Koenma wanted to her to make more so he slipped a second finger inside her and began to suck on her super sensitive clit. At the feeling, Jasmine moans and whimpers went up an octave and ran her fingers through her lover's hair.

Hearing her make her lewd and loud sounds was like music to his ears and Koenma curled his fingers and gently rubbed against her sweet spot making the young psychic gasp. Feeling her impending orgasm approaching, Jasmine began to beg, "Ko...Koenma...please."

Hearing her pleas, he decided to give into her demands and gave her clit a few more licks and gently increased his pressure on it, sucking it a little harder and slightly quickened the pace of his fingers, rubbing against her sweet spot over and over. A few moments later, overwhelming pleasure washed over her human body and Jasmine came crying out her lover's name releasing her juices on his mouth and fingers with her climax, "KOENMA!"

She laid there on the desk and put her hand on her chest as her heart raced from the intense orgasm she just experienced. After finally getting her breathing and her heart rate under control, Jasmine sat up to see Koenma licking her juices off his fingers and lips.

He pushed his chair back to give her enough room to climb down. Wanting to pay him back immediately, Jasmine hopped off the desk and knelt down before him. She looked up at him with that naughty gleam he loved glinting in her large brown eyes, "That was amazing my prince, now it's my turn."

Koenma sat there breathing deeply getting more and more excited by the minute watching his nude lover in heels and thigh highs crawling towards him. Now directly in front of his crotch, Jasmine pushed his long blue tunic off to the side and smiled wickedly seeing the big bulge in his pants.

She then reached up and began to rub him making him groan in response, "Jasmine...ahhh."

Still stroking his bulge, the young woman looked up at him and seductively bit her lower lip. She then slowly licked her small pink lips and said in a low and sexy manner, "Do you want me to suck you off? Do you want your big hard beautiful cock in my mouth?"

Koenma lowly groaned and nodded, "Y...yes. P...please suck my cock my queen. Please."

Jasmine giggled like a schoolgirl in response and unzipped his pants. She pulled them and his boxers down with ease freeing his throbbing erection that begged for her attention. She took his fully erect penis in her hand and gently stroked it making Koenma moan.

She licked her lips seeing precum leaking out of the tip and leaned in to gently lick it, admiring his taste. Jasmine swirled her tongue around the head of his uncut cock and took it into her mouth feeling it twitch. She suckled on it a bit making Koenma moan, "Oh Jasmine."

Jasmine then started her slow and steady pace taking in some of the shaft. "Ahh..." He groaned as he began to run his long fingers through her long brown curls. Looking down at his curly haired seductress, he couldn't help but think of how sexy she was right now.

Keeping up her steady pace on his cock, Jasmine looked up at him and smirked. Koenma let out a surprised squeak when she took his balls into her hand and began to gently massage them. She then took his cock out of her mouth with a loud popping sound making him whine in protest, "Please don't stop. Why did you stop?"

The young demon hunter didn't answer him and just stroked his penis with her hand. She then leaned in and gave his balls a lick. "Oh fuck!"

Jasmine giggled darkly, "Such language my prince."

"I...it's your fault."

She giggled again and without saying another word, she took his balls into her mouth and began to gently lick and suck on them while still stroking her lover's rock hard cock. Koenma shut his eyes and arched his neck back being consumed in the pleasure his human lover was giving him.

Jasmine then took his balls out of her mouth and shifted her attention back to his cock, now licking it from its base to its head as if she was licking a lollipop. Koenma let out another low moan when she suckled the head again and took his length back into her mouth, this time going to the back of her throat.

His moans and cries of pleasure grew louder and lewder when she took his balls in her hand and resumed massaging them. Moments later, Koenma felt close to his climax and instead of making him cum, Jasmine took his cock out of her mouth and the prince snapped his eyes open and looked at her with disappointment.

"Jasmine, why? Why? You said you wanted to make me cum. Why aren't you letting me?"

She devilishly smiled and replied, "Not yet Koenma, we haven't made love yet. Besides, I know how much you love it when I tease you." Seeing and feeling his rock hard cock twitch in her hand again, she chuckled, "Seems like you agree."

Jasmine let go of his cock and balls and asked him, "Do you have a condom?"

Koenma shook his head, "No. Do you?"

The sweet young woman winked at him, "Yes I do." She then stood up and opened her black and white handbag that she set on Koenma's desk and opened up the front pocket. Jasmine withdrew several individually wrapped up condoms in several different colors.

She turned around with a big grin plastered on her face, "So which one do you want? I bought these the other day but, the only color I don't have here is blue because Koashura and Kotennyo used those up. I've got every other color though, and this one wrapped up in this gold wrapper. They're the best."

Koenma pointed at the one with the gold wrapper, "That one."

"Excellent choice, my prince."

Jasmine slipped the other condoms back into her purse and grabbed it by its black shoulder slings and set it down on the floor next to her coat and discarded clothing. She handed him the condom and Koenma tore open the packet and tossed the now empty wrapper into the trash bin by his desk. He slipped the condom over his throbbing erection as Jasmine hoisted herself up onto his desk and laid down spreading her legs for him.

Koenma stood up from his chair and gently grabbed Jasmine's small hips and positioned himself at her entrance. He darkly smirked teasing her as he prodded the wet entrance of her pussy with the tip of his penis. She looked up at him with a pleading look on her pretty face, "Stop teasing me. Make love to me Koenma, please."

The prince smirked, "Well, since you said please."

Jasmine moaned when he pushed his cock inside her and began to gently thrust. He set a slow and pleasurable pace for the both of them. Jasmine slowly sat up and cupped Koenma's face with her hands and deeply kissed him.

Koenma wrapped his long arms around his lover's slender waist to hold her close as he kept his slow and steady pace. Wanting to get closer to her lover too, Jasmine wrapped her legs around his waist and slowly ground her pelvic region against him meeting his slow thrusts.

Both lovers moaned into the kiss and they broke their passionate lip lock as Jasmine arched neck back and groaned, "I love you."

"I love you too." Koenma responded planting light kisses along her neck.

Being consumed in the pleasure he was giving her, Jasmine didn't notice him laying her down on his desk. Several stacks of paperwork were knocked onto the floor and the young demon hunter snapped her large brown eyes open.

Koenma felt her tug his hair get his attention. He looked down at her, eyes full of love and hazy lust and he asked her breathlessly, "Y...yes?"

Jasmine giggled nervously hoping that he wouldn't get angry for what she was about to tell him. She let out another moan and responded, "I...I...knocked your...your..."

Getting the message, Koenma looked around to find the stacks of paperwork that were once sitting on the desk were now scattered on the floor and shifted his attention back to her. He smiled as he slightly increased the pace of his thrusts, "Don't worry about it."

They shared another hot and passionate kiss as he stopped to withdraw his cock momentarily and climbed up onto his desk. Breaking their passionate lip lock, he grabbed her small hips and plunged his cock back into her sopping wet pussy and began to thrust again setting a slightly faster pace.

Jasmine ground back against him trying to keep up and arched her back feeling him hitting her sweet spot crying out, "Yes! Right there!"

"Oh Jasmine." He groaned back.

They brought their lips together again and moaned into the kiss. Oh how they were enjoying this intimate closeness. Being in Koenma's strong arms while making passionate love to each other, Jasmine didn't think about her hard day or Yusuke being rude and disrespectful during Kuwabara's visit to her college. She was just focused on this moment and pushed all of those negative thoughts out of her mind for right now.

Right now she only thought about the wonderful and handsome man who was currently doing his best to cheer her up, making sweet and passionate love to her on top of his desk. Jasmine could only think about how much she loves and adores Koenma. Still kissing each other deeply as their tongues caressed each other's, Jasmine brought up her small dainty hands and entangled them in Koenma's luscious brown hair.

They broke the kiss and gazed into each other's brown eyes. Their breathing grew deeper and shallow. Feeling her orgasm coming, Jasmine then asked, "Are you close?"

Koenma nodded, "Y...yes."

They continued to move together in a perfect rhythm and their moans and whimpers grew

louder. Koenma increased his pace a little bit and moments later, they shared another deep and loving kiss as they both climaxed moaning loudly into their lip lock not wanting to let anyone hear them. Their lips parted and they held each other close breathing heavily from the intense orgasm they just shared.

The prince nuzzled his nose against Jasmine's and asked her, "Feeling better?"

Jasmine lightly kissed him and responded, "Yes, you were amazing."

"So were you." Koenma withdrew his cock from her pussy and hopped off his desk. He slipped the now used condom off his dick and deposited it into the trash bin by his desk.

Jasmine sat up and hopped off the desk. While she and Koenma cleaned themselves and his desk up, she then began to apologize, "I'm sorry I knocked your paperwork over. Now you're going to have to start over."

Koenma chuckled at how cute he thought she was being right now and pulled his boxers and his pants back up. While he was zipping his pants, he replied, "I told you not to worry about it."

The young demon hunter slipped her panties back on and picked up her purple dress still giving him an apologetic look, "So you're not mad at me? Hell, you always yell at Jorge when he knocks them over. I kind of expected you to do the same with me."

Now fully dressed again, Koenma walked up to her and gently cupped her lovely face in his hands. He then tilted her head up to gaze into her dark brown eyes and responded, "Jasmine I'm not mad at you. It was my fault I knocked those stacks of paperwork over because the only thing I had on my mind was to get you to smile again and to hear your beautiful voice say my name while I made love to you. Besides, you had a hard enough day already and you didn't need me to yell at you for something that wasn't your fault. It's very rarely I ever yell at you. I could never stay mad at you for too long."

He softly kissed her small pink lips and then added, "You are so precious and mean so much to me. I'm glad to see you smile again."

Jasmine sweetly smiled flashing her slightly crooked teeth, "Thank you for cheering me up. I don't know what I'd do without you." She then chuckled to herself and said jokingly, "I'd probably be a crazy cat lady."

Koenma starting cracking up at her joke, "You're too cute you know that?"

"I know."

They shared another sweet kiss and parted seconds later. Koenma dropped his hands off of Jasmine's face and walked around his desk to pick up the paperwork and documents that scattered the floor. While Jasmine slipped her dress back on, she suddenly remembered the message she promised Koashura that she'd relay to Koenma.

Setting a stack of unprocessed documents onto his desk, Koenma then asked her, "Jasmine do you need me to zip up your dress?"

She nodded, "Yes, I would like that."

Koenma walked around his desk and approached Jasmine from behind and helped her zip the back of her dress shut. He kissed the side of her cheek making her giggle, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

She turned around and now facing her loving boyfriend she offered, "Do you need help with picking up the paperwork we knocked over?"

Koenma reached up and scratched the back of his head and shrugged his broad shoulders, "Sure why not?"

While Koenma and Jasmine proceeded to pick up the paperwork that still scattered the floor, Jasmine thought it was a good time to finally relay Koashura's and Genkai's message to him. Setting a stack on the desk, she then said, "Koenma, Koashura and Genkai asked me to give you an important message while I'm here for tonight."

Picking up a few more documents, Koenma looked up at her, "What is it about?"

Jasmine knelt down and began to help him again, "It has something to do with the band."

He stared at her blinking his beautiful brown eyes hoping it wasn't bad news and asked her, "What is it about? It's nothing bad is it?"

"No, it's quite good actually and Jorge and Shunjun should know about it too. What do you say after we pick up all of these documents and get them stamped and processed, we can meet them at the Fallen Angel and discuss it with them?"

Koenma picked up the last few pieces of paperwork and thought about it for a minute, smiled and nodded, "Yeah sure. I was going to go get a drink with them after I was finished."

"Great."

Finally finished picking up all of the unprocessed and processed documents that they knocked over during their heated, loving, and passionate moment, Koenma soon got back to work with Jasmine helping him. After a few more hours and Jasmine using her healing ability on their hands to heal up from their paper cuts and blisters, they met up with Jorge and made their way over to Spirit World's local dive bar, the Fallen Angel.

Entering the black colored building with a neon sign of a scantily clad angel posted on the front, Jorge then asked his boss and the young demon hunter, "So what do you guys need to talk about?"

Slipping his pacifier back into his mouth, the tall and handsome prince then responded to his friend and servant, "I don't know Ogre. Jasmine hasn't told me yet. We have to wait until Shunjun gets here because this announcement involves the whole band."

Walking up to the counter, Hector the green ogre bartender greeting the trio with a friendly smile, "Hello your highness, Jorge, and Jasmine."

Koenma smiled in return, "Hey Hector. Could you get each of us a frothy pint?"

He nodded and before he could, Jasmine then asked him, "Hector could you get me a glass of white wine instead?"

Hector smiled, "Certainly."

Less than a minute later, Koenma, Jasmine, and Jorge all got their drinks and the bar's front door opened and in walked the blue haired SDF captain and Exit Strategy's drummer, Shunjun. The soldier walked up to the bar and sat down on the stool next to Jorge and looked at Jasmine and his band mates, "Hey guys. Hello Jasmine, you're looking quite lovely this evening."

Jasmine smiled and took his compliment, "Thank you Shunjun. It's been a while. How was your summer?"

The blue haired war god ordered his frothy pint of beer and Hector filled up a mug and handed it to him. Shunjun took a sip and replied, "It was good with a few setbacks."

Koenma took a swig from his beer mug and asked concerned for his friend and band's drummer, "How come?"

Shunjun stared at his frosty mug, "I got kicked out of the other band I was in."

Jasmine and Jorge eyed him curiously and the Alaskan psychic asked, "You were in another band besides Exit Strategy?"

He nodded, "Yeah, it was made up with me and my SDF buddies. We were called "Soldiers Anonymous" and yes, I was their drummer."

Jasmine took a sip from her wine glass and asked him, "Why did you get kicked out?"

Still staring at his beer mug, Shunjun sighed, "Well, it was over creative differences and I also didn't like the direction of where the band was going and Saito, who's the lead singer along with Sorai the guitarist, and the other guys all decided that I wasn't a good fit for the band anymore."

Finishing off his beer and setting the empty mug on the wooden counter, Jorge reached over and patted his shoulder, "Sorry to hear that."

Koenma nodded in agreement, "Same here but Shunjun, it sounds to me that they wanted to kick you out for a while."

Taking another swig of beer, the blue haired soldier added, "You know Koenma, you are correct, they have wanted to kick me out of the band for a while, months actually. We were fighting all the time and they accused me of how I was dragging them down and never contributed anything. What was I suppose to tell them, that I didn't want to be a part of Soldiers Anonymous anymore, that it wasn't fun like it used to be and how I like being a part of Exit Strategy so much more?"

Hearing that, Koenma slammed his mug down on the counter and Hector looked up from the wine glasses he was currently washing, "Hey watch it, your highness. I already had to replace a few that you broken and I don't want to do it again with another."

Koenma sighed, "Sorry about that Hector." He then shifted his attention to Shunjun, "Please tell me you didn't say a thing to those guys about me and the band."

Finishing off his beer, he shook his head and set the empty glass mug down on the counter and Jorge asked, "Did you?"

Shunjun looked over at Koenma, Jorge and Jasmine who just stared at him waiting for his answer. The blue haired war god then responded, "No I didn't. Koenma, Jorge, I won't lie, I was very tempted to say something to them but, I didn't because it wasn't any of their business. So, nobody else in the SDF but me knows about your band and as far as I'm concerned, Soldiers Anonymous can suck it."

Sipping down the last drops of her white wine, Jasmine then decided to change the subject and she set her empty wine glass down on the counter and cleared her throat. Hearing that, Koenma, Shunjun, and Jorge gave her their undivided attention and the young demon hunter then spoke, "Well, while we are on the subject about bands and music, just before I left the Human World to come here and spend some time with Koenma, Koashura and Genkai asked me to give you guys an important message."

The three men or more like two gods and one blue ogre waited for her to tell them and Shunjun asked, "Is it something good?"

Jasmine nodded, "Yes it is but, I think we should talk about this in private so no one overhears us."

They all looked around the packed bar that consisted of mainly ogre or demon patrons and shifted their attention back to Hector and Koenma asked him, "Do you have a backroom or someplace private to talk?"

Hector put away the clean wine glasses and nodded, "Yes I do. Follow me." He put the rag he used to clean the wine glasses away and gestured the four counter occupants to follow him.

Koenma, Jorge, Shunjun, and Jasmine followed Hector down a narrow hallway that led to what appeared to be a brick wall with a burnt out lantern. Hector reached up and twisted the knob to light the lantern and the brick wall which turned out to be a secret door then opened.

They followed him inside and Hector turned the light on and shut the false wall behind him. Jasmine looked around with a curious expression on her face, "Wow, what is this place?"

The two gods, two ogres and the young college bound psychic sat down at a round table in the middle of the room and Hector answered, "It's the secret room to this place. If you want to hide someone here, have a private conversation or use this for storage, this is the place."

Before Jasmine could start off their conversation, Hector then offered, "Does anyone want anything? Beer, wine, water?"

The other four table occupants shook their heads with Jorge saying, "No thanks Hector." He then reached into his trench coat pocket to pay for their drinks and then realized he only had enough for his beer and then tried to ask his boss, "Um, Koenma sir..."

Knowing what Jorge was going to ask him, Koenma reached into his pocket, "Don't worry about it Ogre, I got it."

The prince then paid for his, Jasmine's, Jorge's and Shunjun's drinks and the blue haired soldier smiled at his generosity, "Koenma, you didn't have to do that. I was going to pay for my own."

"It wasn't a problem at all Shunjun. You've been so awesome about keeping our band a secret and been awesome in general."

Jasmine leaned over and kissed her handsome lover on the cheek which made Koenma blush, "Thank you for picking up my tab my prince, I only brought Human World money and credit cards with me."

Koenma removed his pacifier and held the round blue object between his long middle and index fingers like a cigarette and leaned his head down to lightly kiss her small pink lips, "You welcome my queen. I love you."

"I love you too."

She kissed him back in return and Jorge cleared his throat, "Um Jasmine, what did you need to speak to us about?"

Breaking hers and Koenma's lip lock, both lovers blushed and she responded, "Sorry about that Jorge."

Hector looked at the clock hanging on the wall and stood up from the table, "Well, while you guys are doing that, I gotta get back to the bar. There are probably patrons lined up to get their drinks. Stay and talk in here as long as you want. If you guys wanna play cards or something, the decks are right on that table over there."

The other four table occupants shifted their attention to him and Jorge smiled, "Thank you Hector and have a good night for the remainder of your shift."

"You guys have a good night too. Jorge, see ya for a game of pool tomorrow?"

Jorge nodded, "Yeah, see ya then."

They all wished Hector to have a goodnight and the green ogre bartender and bar owner opened up the false wall and left the room shutting the secret door behind him leaving Koenma, Jasmine, Jorge, and Shunjun to start their private conversation. Jorge got up from the table and walked over to the one Hector pointed to and grabbed one deck of cards.

He sat down back at the table and asked the other three, "Who wants to play a game while we talk?"

Jasmine began to pick at her long fingernails, "No thanks Jorge. I'm not in the mood for poker tonight."

"I'm not in the mood either Ogre, maybe some other time." Koenma responded slipping his pacifier back between his lips and Shunjun just shook his head as in a no.

Jorge shrugged his trench coat covered shoulders and set the card deck down on the table and asked his boss's human lover, "So Jasmine, what is this announcement you have?"

Jasmine stopped picking at her fingernails and slipped the black slings of her purse off her shoulder and set the black and white handbag on the table. She cleared her throat and then answered Jorge's question as he, Koenma, and Shunjun gave her their undivided attention, "Today while I was showing Kazuma Kuwabara around Mushiori University, Koashura got a call from Genkai. She called him to let him know that she had a visitor come see her at her compound earlier this week."

The two gods and one ogre listened intently and Shunjun asked, "What sort of visitor was it?"

Placing her arms in front of her on the table, she continued, "It was a good visitor actually and Koashura said that the individual was human. He explained to me that from what I guess that Genkai was currently in the middle of her daily meditation and was visited by a gentleman that identified himself as the head of one of the independent record companies that's ran in Mushiori City and said that he is interested in signing you guys to his label. I don't know the guy's name so you guys gotta talk to Koashura and Genkai to get that info."

Koenma, Jorge, and Shunjun just sat there dumbstruck from what Jasmine just told them. They didn't know how to react to this and Jasmine just sat there hoping one of them would say something. About a minute later, Shunjun was the first to speak, "You know what, I kind thought that would happen eventually."

Jorge stared at the young SDF captain with a blank expression and then found his voice, "What makes you say that?"

"Come on Jorge, you seriously think that the buzz we have been getting around the Human World wasn't going to lead to something? Dude, it was going to happen sooner or later whether we wanted it or not."

Jorge then looked at this blue hands that were placed on the table in front of him and added, "Shunjun, even though I agree that this is a good thing that's happening for the band but, we can't do it if one or more of us aren't on board with it." He then looked at Koenma who sat between him and Jasmine and the other table occupants looked at the prince who still sat there in silent disbelief still not really knowing how to react to this.

Jorge gently placed one of his hands on Koenma's broad shoulder and then spoke to his young boss, "Koenma sir, sir, sir, we need your input on this. Is this something that you would feel comfortable doing?"

Koenma just sat there and sucked on his pacifier for a minute and shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know Ogre. I don't know."

"Koenma, like Jorge just said, we can't do it if the whole band isn't for it." Shunjun said.

He looked at Jorge and Shunjun still not knowing if he wanted to do it or not. Jasmine took his hand in her own and kissed it, "My prince, you don't have to decide just yet. If you feel like you need some time to think about it, take as much as you need. Me, Jorge, Koashura, Genkai, and Shunjun promise not to pressure you into something you don't feel comfortable doing, okay? Tell you what, why don't we set up a day and time that all of you guys can go to Genkai's compound to discuss it? Do you feel comfortable with that?"

Koenma shifted his attention to Jasmine, smiled behind his pacifier and nodded, "Yes my queen, I would like that."

The Alaskan psychic kissed his hand again, looked at Shunjun and Jorge and asked all three men, "So, when do you guys want to meet up with Koashura and Genkai?"

Koenma, Shunjun, and Jorge thought about for a minute until Koenma suggested, "You know what, why don't we meet up with them this coming Friday. It'll give me time to think about this Human World record company thing so I can make an informed decision and by then, I'll have already made up mind and I'll give you guys my answer."

Both Jorge and Shunjun and even Jasmine smiled liking that idea. For another hour they discussed the subject and decided that it was getting late and left the bar when Hector was closing up for the night. Koenma, Jorge, and Jasmine made their way back to the palace and when they got upstairs, Jorge walked down the hallway to his bedroom and wished the lovers a goodnight and went to bed.

Koenma and Jasmine walked into the prince's bedroom and with how late it was and how tired they were, they didn't make love but talked and cuddled until they fell asleep instead. The next week which was the first week of the fall semester at Mushiori University had started that Monday. Jasmine was glad to be back with her normal schedule as was Koashura and Kotennyo.

Speaking of school semesters starting, the local high schools and middle schools had just started their third week and Keiko and Kuwabara were now busy with their schoolwork. As for Yusuke Urameshi, he began his search for finding a job and after filling out several job applications and getting a couple of interviews, the former spirit detective had no such luck.

That afternoon, he walked into the coffee shop and sat down on the couch at the front of the counter and let out a loud sigh. Kuwabara and Keiko looked up from studying from their text books and the ordinary human teenage girl glanced up at her boyfriend.

Keiko gave Yusuke a look of concern and asked, "How did the job search go?"

The former spirit detective felt like he wanted to crawl up in a ball and die, "It sucked. I got laughed at while at two job interviews today. They said that they were looking for someone with "experience". Oh come on, I have experience. I have more than they know."

Kuwabara shut his Algebra textbook and set it on his lap, "No offense Urameshi but, I don't think you being a spirit detective counts. Maybe if you're trying to find more work with Spirit World but, it's not going to do you any good here."

Yusuke stared at his best friend with a blank expression and rolled his eyes, "You think I don't know that? If I were to try to work with Spirit World again, I'm afraid I might stir up more trouble with them. What if I still have that bounty on my head?"

Keiko closed up her history textbook and slipped it into her pink backpack and got up from the chair she was sitting on. She then sat down on the couch next to her depressed boyfriend and childhood friend and placed a hand on his shoulder, "Try not to think about the negative. Try to think positive about this."

Yusuke looked over at her and sighed, "What is there to be positive about?"

Keiko then gave him the best encouraging smile she could muster, "Well, what are your skills and interests? What do you want to do with your life now that you're not involved with Spirit World anymore?"

The former spirit detective thought about it for a minute and stared at his hands that were placed on his lap, "I don't know Keiko. I don't know what I want to do with my life. Being spirit detective was like the only thing I was good at."

Kuwabara then decided to offer his two cents, "Urameshi, Keiko and I just taken this test at our schools that's called that the career something test."

Keiko chuckled at her friend's name for the test, "Kuwabara it's called the career aptitude test."

Yusuke looked at them with genuine curiosity and asked, "What's that?"

Rubbing his shoulder in an effort to comfort him, Keiko then replied, "It's a test were you find out about which types of jobs/careers would be best suited for you based on your personality type, skills, and interests. Why don't you take it to give you an idea of what you want to do with your life?"

"That sounds like a bad idea. Keiko, you know how horrible I was when it came to taking tests. What if I get a bad score on it?"

Keiko began to giggle at Yusuke's assumption and the former spirit detective scrunched his eyebrows, "That's not funny."

Keiko stopped giggling and responded, "Yusuke, the career aptitude test is not graded. It doesn't matter the result, like I said, the results are only based on your personality type and what skills and interests you have."

"Really?"

"Yeah, the best thing about it is that you don't have to study for it," Kuwabara added.

From what Kuwabara and Keiko said about the career aptitude test, Yusuke was beginning to like what he was hearing, "Wow, no grades and no studying, that sounds like my kind of test."

Taking a sip from her latte, Keiko then decided to suggest, "You can do that but there is also going to be a career fair at Mushiori University this Friday afternoon. Would you like to go check it out with me, Kuwabara and Kurama?"

Even though Yusuke didn't want to set foot on another college campus ever again, he thought about it for a minute and shrugged his shoulders, "Okay as long as you guys don't try to force any college stuff down my throat."

Kuwabara took a bite from his blueberry muffin and washed it down with his cappuccino, "Don't worry Urameshi, it's a career fair. So it's just job and career stuff with a little college stuff sprinkled in but, you can just avoid it."

Keiko finished off her latte, "Tell you what, I'll stay with you the entire time. Even though I'm going to be checking out the teacher booths, we can look at some stuff that you might be interested in."

At Keiko's offer and Kuwabara's encouraging words, Yusuke figured it wouldn't hurt as long as it could possibly lead him to finding a job. Hopefully he'll have better luck finding one there than he did earlier that day. That Friday morning, Jasmine walked the grounds of the MU campus after Koashura and Kotennyo walked off towards their respective buildings for their classes and entered the medical school building.

She brought a hand up to her mouth and yawned still waking up from the goodnight's sleep she had after studying for her first lab quiz of the semester. Since she had a good forty-five minutes before her first of her two classes of the day were to start, Jasmine figured she could go sit down on one of the couches of the student lounge and look over her study materials for her anatomy lab again.

Upon entering the medical school student lounge, she noticed something a bit odd. There was a group of students currently crowded around one of the couches near the window and she could hear some of the ordinary human medical students talking about or cooing at something or someone.

One of her classmates then spoke, "Awe, he's so cute. Where do you think his mommy is at?"

"I don't know but, shouldn't that little guy be at the campus daycare?" another student chimed in.

Wanting to know what they were fussing about, Jasmine walked over and asked one of them, "What's going on? What are you guys looking at?"

A pretty young Japanese woman who's in her pharmacology class looked at her, "Oh hi Jasmine, come check this out."

The Alaskan psychic raised her eyebrow at her ordinary human classmate, "Come check what out?"

The young woman walked off to the side to let Jasmine see and finally laying her eyes on what or who they were looking at, Jasmine instantly recognized who it was. She gasped looking at Koenma who's currently in his toddler form curled up, sleeping on the couch.

Awoken from hearing his loving girlfriend's gasps and the other students talking and whispering, Koenma stirred from his sleep and opened his large brown eyes. He looked around confused with what is going on and before he could say something to Jasmine, the young demon hunter knelt down and covered his mouth so he wouldn't freak any of the other students out.

All of the ordinary humans looked at them with blank expressions and one of her other classmates asked, "Jasmine, is he yours? I thought you said you didn't have kids."

Jasmine then nervously smiled at them, "I don't...um..." She then instantly thought of a good cover story to save Koenma from embarrassment, "This is my baby cousin...Conner...who's my Aunt Theresa's son. She and my Uncle Jonathan are visiting from Alaska and they asked me to babysit him today. But, the funny thing is, is that Conner here wandered away from me and I have been looking for him all morning and I now found him."

She quickly grabbed Koenma's pacifier that she accidently forced out of his mouth and scooped her currently pint sized boyfriend into her arms and Koenma whispered in her ear, "You don't have a Cousin Conner."

Jasmine stood up, gritted her teeth and mumbled quietly only he could hear, "I know, just play along. These people would freak if they saw something that looks like a toddler but talks and acts like an adult. Tell me how could I explain that. Just pretend to be my cousin who's visiting from Alaska and we'll go someplace private where you can switch forms and we can talk about this."

Deciding not to argue with her or risk embarrassment and scaring this group of ordinary humans, Koenma then began to play along and rested his head on her shoulder pretending to be an actual human child. Jasmine then began to wade her way through the group of college students saying out loud, "Come on Conner, let's go find your mom. I just hope I won't be late for class."

Carrying Koenma in her arms, Jasmine rushed out of the Student Union, walked down the hallway of the medical school and reached a door the led to the outside. The psychic college student opened the door and stepped out into MU's garden which was completely abandoned during this time in the morning.

Koenma looked around to see lots of plants like flowers, fruit plants, and a few vegetables, a fountain made from rocks, colorful wind chimes and wind ornaments hanging from the branches of the lovely cherry blossom trees, and a couple of butterflies flew passed him and Jasmine. Jasmine walked over to a rainbow colored bench and gently placed her currently pint sized boyfriend on it. She slipped her purse straps off her other shoulder and set her black and white handbag on her lap.

Looking around at their surroundings, Koenma decided to break the ice saying with wonder, "Wow, this place is beautiful."

Jasmine chuckled thinking of how adorable he was right now, "This garden was planted by the student body. It's been here since the 1970s and if you're a student here, you can volunteer to plant whatever would you like or donate things like wind chimes, wind ornaments, and the other decorations you see around you."

"Have you planted any plants or donated any of those pretty decorations?"

Jasmine nodded, "Yes, I planted that strawberry plant over there and I also donated the butterfly wind chime that's hanging on the tree right next to it."

The currently toddler looking prince looked over to where she was pointing to and saw the flourishing strawberry plant with red succulent strawberries hanging from its stems sitting in a plot next to a lovely cherry blossom tree that had a wind chime with purple butterflies on it.

"Wow that strawberry plant has some delicious looking strawberries on it. I also like those wind chimes. They're very lovely." Koenma complimented.

The young college bound psychic smiled, "Thank you Koenma. Would you like a strawberry after we finish talking?"

He nodded, "Yes that would be wonderful."

Still looking around, Koenma shifted his attention to a wall that has a mural of colorful handprints painted on it. He then asked her, "Why are there handprints on that wall?"

Jasmine chuckled, "That mural represents the unity of the student body here. The colorful handprints are supposed to represent this school's diversity. It's the "Mural of Togetherness"."

Koenma gave a small smile behind his pacifier and tore his eyes away from the handprint covered wall. He looked down at his small hands that were placed on his lap and let out a loud sigh. Observing his behavior, Jasmine wanted to know what was wrong and why he was sleeping on the couch in the Student Union.

Deciding to break this new silence between them, she then asked, "Koenma, why were you sleeping in the Student Union?"

He sat there and sucked on his pacifier for a minute before responding, "My father..."

"What happened?"

Still staring at his hands, he let out another sigh and responded, "After three months of not speaking to him, I finally did."

Jasmine slipped the slings of her purple flowery backpack off her slender shoulders, "I take it, it didn't go so well."

Koenma stopped staring at his small hands and looked up her, "No it didn't. I didn't mention any of the files we found in the records department. If I do, I'm just so afraid of the consequences. I don't know how much trouble I could get into if I did say something about our discovery."

Seeing how anxious he was getting from talking about this, Jasmine still wanted to know why he was sleeping in the Student Union. She then asked, "How did you end up here?"

He bit down on his pacifier and sat there in silence for a moment before simply replying, "I had to get away from him and for some reason, the gateway that I opened randomly opened up here. I didn't want to bother Botan by asking her to bring me here. I could only think of wanting to get away from Dad. After it sealed off, I was too tired to try to find out where I was so, I just laid down on one of the couches and fell asleep. The next thing I knew I was surrounded by you and those group of ordinary humans."

Holding her purse on her lap, Jasmine then added, "You know you can come to me, Koashura, Kotennyo, and Genkai right? You didn't have to resort to doing that."

Not looking at her anymore, he then responded in a low voice not wanting a lecture right now, "I know Jasmine."

Deciding to change the subject with seeing as how anxious Koenma was getting, Jasmine then got up from the rainbow colored bench, "Do you want a strawberry?"

The currently pint sized prince nodded. Jasmine walked into the garden and carefully waded her way over to the plot where her strawberry plant resided. She knelt down and picked two ripe red strawberries and carefully walked back over to the bench.

Jasmine sat down and handed Koenma one and he took a bite not bothering to remove his pacifier. After swallowing what he bit off, he then smiled and compliment, "This is delicious."

Not saying another word, they both finished off their strawberries and Jasmine looked around, "It's safe for you to switch forms."

Koenma looked around too and seeing as he and his lovely girlfriend were the only two people there, he then switched to his tall and handsome adult form. He then removed his pacifier and held it in between his middle and index fingers and Jasmine asked, "You're not going to go back home to work?"

He shook his head, "No, I know I should but, I just don't want to be around my father for right now."

"Do you still want to talk about it?"

He shook his head as in a no again. Knowing that he needed his space, Jasmine decided not to press the issue right now and a brilliant idea had come to mind, "Well, since you're not doing anything until you have to meet up with Jorge, Koashura, and Shunjun at Genkai's this afternoon, do you want to hang out here?"

Still holding his pacifier, Koenma thought about it for about a minute and shrugged his shoulders figuring it wouldn't hurt, "Sure why not? I have been curious to know more about this college thing. I bet it beats stamping and processing paperwork all day."

Jasmine formed a lovely smile, "Great but, you can't go wandering around the campus wearing your robes and having your mark exposed."

The prince sighed, "Oh."

Seeing that, Jasmine then had another idea, "I have some makeup in my purse that can cover it up and you can just remove your cloak and your tunic. I'll give them back to you when we go to Genkai's this afternoon. Does that sound reasonable?"

He smiled and nodded, "Sure. How much time do you have until your class starts?"

She looked at her watch and sighed with relief, "I have ten minutes."

Not saying another word, Koenma handed his pacifier to Jasmine who wrapped it up with her handkerchief and slipped it into her purse. The prince the stood up from the bench and looked around sighing with relief that he and Jasmine were still alone in the garden and slipped off his red cloak and handed the garment to his loving girlfriend.

Jasmine neatly folded it, unzipped the front pocket of her purple flowery backpack and slipped it into the empty compartment. Koenma then unwound his red sash from around his slender waist and slipped off his long blue tunic. Jasmine neatly folded them up too and slipped them both into her backpack and zipped the compartment closed.

The young demon hunter set her backpack down on the ground next to her leg and gestured to her lover to sit next to her. Koenma sat back down on the rainbow colored bench as Jasmine set her black and white handbag on her lap. She unzipped the front pocket and withdrew a green compact and a consealer pen.

With her free hand, she gently brushed, Koenma's bangs off to the side so she can see the "Jr" mark on his forehead, "Even with this mark, you're still gorgeous."

Koenma started to laugh like a total dork, "Thank you my queen."

Jasmine too giggled and she opened up her compact and began to apply foundation on her boyfriend's forehead. Koenma just sat there and let his lover cover up his mark. A minute later, Jasmine finally put the finishing touches of the consealer that finally did the trick. She smiled and marveled at her handiwork and held her compact up to Koenma's face, "Take a look."

Koenma stared at his own reflection and smiled, "You did a wonderful job Jasmine."

The young psychic brightly smiled and checked her watch, "Yikes, I have five minutes."

Both lovers stood up from the rainbow colored bench and Jasmine knelt down and grabbed her purple flowery backpack and slung it over her slender shoulders. Before they left the garden she turned around, "Oh, here."

She unbuttoned the collar of Koenma's white shirt, "There, now you blend in."

Jasmine then held her hand to him and Koenma gladly took it. They both left MU's garden hand in hand and Jasmine guided him through the medical school's corridors to her classroom where a large group of ordinary humans were gathered outside the room waiting for the previous class to end.
