Six months later, the demon groups that were training under Hotaka had become stronger. Hotaka was even help training but only to those who were in the same class as him. He was picking those to fight side by side with him.

"Yusuke," Hotaka called to train with him. Yusuke came out. "I finally get to fight Raizen's son."

"Hmph, don't get too excited," Yusuke sneered. "Better yet, do get excited. Fight with all of you got!"

The two started to battle against one another. The fight was getting heated. Yusuke couldn't pin many punches on him. Hotaka grabbed his throat and stopped the fight. "Enough! We're done for now." He dropped him.

"HEY! What the HELL!" Yusuke dusted himself off. Hotaka was drawn to something in the trees. Yusuke tried to follow his sight. "We were just getting started."

"You have great talent," Hotaka was walking away. "But something more important has come up. Don't worry, we'll fight again soon."

Yusuke pulled out the compact mirror once Hotaka was out of sight. "Botan, Hotaka had to interrupt our training since he sensed someone. He said it was more important than fighting with me."

"Did you spy who the person was?" Botan asked.

"No, but it could be Hoshimi," Yusuke mused. "Any news on your side?" Botan shook her head.

Hotaka headed to his finished castle. He glided over to the observatory. He sat on the edge of the fountain in the center. Hoshimi came out from the shadows.

"I found them," she whispered as she readjusted her hood. "Koenma hasn't noticed. They have humans helping them. We need to take a trip to the human world."

"Take me there," Hotaka rose from his seat.

"Brother needs to look human before we can go," Hoshimi transformed into her human form, showing him the example.

"How is this?" His ears and tail were gone. His hair was the same color as hers along with his eye color.

"Perfect," she gave him a bright smile. "You'll need to head here, I have another home the others don't know about. I will have clothes for you to change. Come in the evening." Hoshimi whispered the place into his ear before heading into the shadows.

Hotaka changed back into his fox demon form. He headed off to instruct that one of his friends was in charge while he was gone. Hotaka moved through a secret passage but he didn't know that Yusuke and Hiei was following him. They followed him to the human world but had lost him. The two met up with Kurama.

"He's here," Kurama confirmed.

"Yeah but we lost him," Yusuke sighed. "I'd ask Kuwabara but he is close on his exams."

"We can still find him," Hiei was using his Jagan. "It'll be easier with all the humans."

Hotaka showed up at a skyscraper that reflected the evening sun. He headed up to a room where his sister was waiting. He didn't even have to knock. She opened the door. Hoshimi had a couple suits for him. He dressed in a white suit with a dark blue shirt. He had the buttons opened to reveal part of his chest. His hair was tied with a ribbon in a ponytail. He could be in the yakuza. Hoshimi was in a cocktail dress that showed more skin. Her brother placed a coat over her before they went off. Hoshimi led him to a red-light district. She held onto his arm. There was a host club with guards out front. The two headed into the club without a problem.

One of the Sensui Seven, Kaname Hagiri was lounging in the host club. He watched the young couple come in. He was contacted by Yu Kaito. Yu Kaito gave him a photo of Hoshimi when she was disguised as Isae. Yu Kaito had contact with some of the Sensui Seven members. They each had a photo copy of Hoshimi. They kept tabs on the demons in the area.

Hoshimi and Hotaka asked the hostess to see whoever was in charge. The two waited on a nearby couch. Women flocked to them. A man in a suit showed the two into a private room. There was an older man sitting behind a desk. He had a couple of body guards. Kaname Hagiri moved outside to listen in on their conversation. He had pinned a bug on them with his skills.

"My guys tell me you are wanting to make a deal," the older man looked them over.

"That all depends," Hotaka didn't view him back. "How much are humans going for these days?"

"Ahh, working with demons eh?" The old man chuckled as Hotaka nodded. "You know the Demon King will have you neck if he finds out you're causing harm to humans."

"Who says that I am the one harming humans?" Hotaka smirked. "Besides isn't that for demons only. No one said anything about humans harming humans."

"I like your humor," the old man laughed even more. "Humans have been going at a great price, the bigger the better. Demons thrive on human meat, they become stronger."

"Demons don't like fat," Hotaka informed. "Bigger is great but more muscle is better."

"Some even like beauties," he eyed Hoshimi clinging onto Hotaka.

Hotaka followed his gaze. "Stunning, isn't she?"

"Yes, willing to sell her?" The old man licked his lips.

"That depends," Hotaka despised using his sister as bait but it had to be done. "What your intentions are with her?"

The old man narrowed his eyes. "She'll be a part of my harem if she is just as delicious as she looks."

"She's highly skilled," Hotaka stared at the old man. "I want enough to get her worth."

"Ask," his eyes sparkled.

"How many people are you willing to give in exchange for her?" Hotaka found the bug on him. He squished it between his fingers, breaking it, then flinging it off as if it was lint. This made the old man gulp seeing as Hotaka had nothing to lose.

Kaname Hagiri threw off the headphones that hurt his eyes when the bug broke. It shattered into pieces against the furthest wall. He waited until the other two came out to follow them.

"Fifty," the man bartered.

"Not enough," Hotaka sighed. "Even a hundred or more is not enough. I want information. Who is the demon you are working for?"

"Like I would give you that information," the man snorted. "She's a looker but she's not worth that."

Hoshimi glanced at Hotaka. He nodded. She stepped away from Hotaka and unbuckled her coat. She let it fall to the floor. The man's eyes widened.

"We only work with his subordinates," the man licked his lips again.

"You want more?" Hotaka could sense the lust from him.

"If you want more, I want to see more," he started to sweat in anticipation. Hotaka nodded once more. The guys around him were also waiting.

Hoshimi's ninetails fluttered out. They gasped but where in awe as she started to hypnotize them. Hotaka took this chance to get all the information he needed. Hotaka grabbed her coat and placed it back on his sister. Hoshimi ordered them to forget everything. The two headed out.

Kaname Hagiri followed behind them as they took a taxi. The two were headed to an industrial area. They entered a building from the top of the stairs using their demon abilities. There was a portal to the demon world on the floor. The two watched as humans were placed in the portal. The two could see that they were sedated. Kaname Hagiri headed back to inform his group what was going on, or what he only knew of. Hotaka took Hoshimi away from there. He didn't want his rage to ruin anything. Hotaka and Hoshimi were back on the busy streets.

"Yusuke!" Tsukihito Amanuma called out to the three passing by an arcade. The three stopped to see a high school student.

"Huh?" Yusuke blinked as he almost didn't recognize him.

"I've grown up Yusuke," Tsukihito winked. "Kaito contacted us. He said you needed help."

"Yeah, but we can handle this on our own," Yusuke was happy that they extended their help but he didn't want to put them in any danger.

"Then I guess I won't need to pass on the information about a certain blonde girl," Tsukihito started to turn away.

"You saw Isae?" Kurama's heart thumped.

"Yeah, but if you try to look for her again, she vanishes, we only get glances, but the guy she's clinging to," Tsukihito explained. "He's easier to find."

The three guessed who the guy was. "So the Demon King is visiting the Human World," Yusuke's lips twitched.

"Demon King?" Tsukihito blinked. "I thought he was yakuza."

"Basically, but for the Demon World," Yusuke clenched his fist. "Where are they now?"

"Kaname had been tailing, we have Mitarai as relay," Tsukihito looked around. "We were told to meet up at Kido's place. Mitsunari went to get Yu."

Mitarai came running up to them. He was panting. "They're close but I think we've been detected. See, they're over there." Mitarai turned to see the couple walking down the street. Kaname paused by them. It was true, when they tried to spot Hoshimi, she vanished but they could see Hotaka just fine. The two stopped. Hotaka turned to Yusuke and the rest.

"We've been found out," Hoshimi whispered. "We can't let them know, but we can meet with them. The one behind us knows that there is something wrong going on."

"We will let them think whatever they want," Hotaka tightened his grip on her. "I will not allow them to interfere." He headed over to them.

Kaname got off his bike and headed over to the group. The ones who didn't know the couple were intrigued while the others were waiting for something.

"Taking a midnight stroll," Yusuke quipped. "How romantic." The group stared at him with his awful thinking. "Huh? What?! Oh!" He stared at Hoshimi. "Yeah didn't think that one through. Anyways, what is the great king doing away from his army?"

"Army?" Hotaka placed his body in front of his sister. "Is that how you see it? I just wanted to make my fellow demons stronger. Besides, I asked Hoshimi to show me around the Human World. My class of power wouldn't let me pass through the barrier. I didn't want to disfigure myself like Raizen's monks. My dearest little sister was kind enough to show me around."

Hoshimi was eyeing the newest members. She couldn't look at Kurama.

"Hmph, it looks like you are coddling then protecting," Yusuke sneered. "Are you sure you asked or did you make her."

Hotaka was about to tell him off when Hoshimi peered at Yusuke. "Yusuke, he's the only family I have left and it's been years since I have seen him. Please have more respect and understanding"

Yusuke felt guilty about his taunting. "The Hoshimi I know would be outgoing and joyful, your meek and timid with your brother. It's not right."

"A lot has happened since we've been apart," Hoshimi stared at her brother. "Human emotions rub off too easily."

"That is a lie!" Yusuke fumed. "Stop hiding behind him!"

Hoshimi stepped out and forward. She clamped down his mouth. "Yusuke! Is that anyway to treat a friend and an ally?! I want to show my brother a good time and you're ruining it! The first rule is still in place. Trust us!" She removed her hand.

"Alright, but you're too suspicious," Yusuke crossed his arms. "You got the psychics involved."

"That wasn't us," she glanced at Kurama. "We'll enjoy the rest of our evening before heading back. You can follow us, but it will be boring." She hooked arms with her brother to escort him away.

"Kaname, what was it that you found out?" Kurama asked as he watched the two disappear from his sight.

"He was at a host club wanting to buy humans, even willing to sell her, but if they are demons, then they must have swindled them." Kaname watched with him. "I followed them to a demon portal with human trafficking to the demons. You want me to put a target on them?"

"No," Hiei opened his eyes. "They'll sense it. Plus, you won't even be able to target Hoshimi when she is untraceable."

"Yusuke and Hiei, go back to the Demon World," Kurama ordered them. "Yusuke, keep an eye on the two. Hiei, use your Jagan to find the humans in Demon World. Get Mukuro and the others to help. I'll stay on this side with these guys."

Hotaka and Hoshimi made it back to the portal. They headed back to the castle. Hotaka met up with his friends to discuss their findings. Hoshimi was getting herself ready for another mission. Yusuke watched from the shadows with Toya and Jin. Mukuro, Hiei, and Yomi tried to find the humans that were being brought into the Demon world.
