Hey Everyone! Sorry it's been so long since I've updated. Many things have been going on and I haven't had the time to write. However, I have finally posted another chapter. It's not long, mind you, but I am on Spring Break so hopefully I should at least get another chapter up soon. Since it's been a long time I'll renew my copyright.

I do not, I repeat, do not own Yu Yu Hakusho, or its characters...damn. Lol but I do own Selina, Mariko, Ryo, and whoever else I think up. I'll name them as they show up in the story. I forgot to ask again if you guys wanted a character bio? Again, the characters and their information will be added as they appear. I'll give you a little more about how they look, act, their weapons, and history if they have one. If you guys don't want one, that's cool too. Ok, I'll be quiet now so you can get on reading lol. -Angel

Chapter 8: Fight For The Orb

A sigh escaped me as I paced in front of Koenma's desk, like an irate tiger trapped in a cage.

"You have no one else available?"

"No. You and Yusuke are all that I have."

I growled under my breath and stopped pacing. Koenma flinched a little as I slowly stalked up to his desk.

"If you had no one else, you should've just let me deal with them. Yusuke is not properly trained."

"That's why he has you. I did entertain the thought of giving this mission solely to you, however they are stronger than I thought and I don't think you could beat them alone in your current form." He folded his hands on his desk to seemingly show my growing anger did not affect him. However, I knew by the way the Prince was starting to shake that my fury was intimidating him.

"That may be, but I would have prepared myself had I been informed of their power and not sent away in ignorance!" I stood now in front of his desk glaring at him.

By nature, I'm pretty easygoing, and hard to anger. On the rare occasion someone pisses me off enough, I can get vicious. Usually when I'm angry, I turn cold and unusually quiet. When it gets to a certain point though, I tend to show outward signs of my deep distress. The tiny Prince o' Poop was pushing me towards that end.

"It was a dire situation. I needed the both of you to find them ASAP," said Koenma in a desperate voice.

"HE COULD HAVE DIED!" I slammed my hands down on his desk to emphasis my point. The quivering mass in the big chair jumped a foot in the air at my outburst. A cry escaped him as he threw himself on the desk.

"I had no choice Selina! Father will be home in a week and you know what he will do if he finds out about the stolen artifacts! He'll destroy cities in his fury, not to mention my precious backside!" I stood there with no sympathy in my eyes as the Prince put on his own drama show. I crossed my arms and leaned on my hip.

"I have no pity for you Koen. It's your own fault that you didn't post actual guards at the vault. Ogres do not count as top security. You know the ogres that work for you are too docile to do much harm."

I shook my head as the Prince colored in embarrassment. He would have gotten more tongue-lashings from me if my pants hadn't vibrated. I reached into my back left pocket and brought out what looked like a dark blue makeup compact. Once I flipped it open I was surprised to see the worried face of my favorite Grim Reaper.

"Botan?"

"Selina! Hurry…you must hurry!"

My brows furrowed in concern at seeing her flushed face.

"Botan, what's wrong? Where's Yusuke?" My body tensed as she bit her lip.

"He went after Goki."

"WHAT! Botan! I told you to tell him to wait for me!"

"I know! But he ran off before I could tell him." 'No!' I thought in a panic. It was then I noticed Botan was panting.

"Botan, where are you headed?"

"To the park where I found you two last night."

"I'll be there." I snapped my com shut and looked over to Koenma who nodded and made a portal.

"Remember Selina, as much as you want to, you can't do this for him. Your job is to intervene if absolutely necessary." I rolled my eyes in annoyance.

" Only help if he's getting his ass kicked. Gotcha," I said sarcastically. I turned and jumped into the portal to where I knew Yusuke was most likely getting into trouble. 'Yusuke, you better be all right. If you're not, I'll kill you myself, if Goki hasn't already done that for me.'

YusukePOV

A yell escaped me as Demon Goki's foot came down on my back again and again.

'What do I do? He's too strong. My spirit gun won't pierce his skin. Damnit! I'm gonna be demon toe jam if I don't think of something! Where the hell is Selina when I need her.'

"You give me a bigger appetite. There's something about those screams of pain," rasped Goki between stomps. All of a sudden the weight on my back lifted as Goki took his foot off me and turned around.

"Hey! Who the hell is she?" I looked up and saw a trembling Botan a few yards away. I panicked as Goki starting heading for her. She turned and sprinted away.

"Forget about her! She's nobody!" I tried to get his attention back on me, but the bastard leapt into the air and landed right in front of her, stopping her in her tracks. She screamed and twisted back around and ran to my side. She knelt behind me as I pushed myself up on my forearms. Goki was almost to us.

"Yes, now I can eat you both, starting with my top offender." I clenched my teeth as the big oaf grabbed me by the head and dangled me in the air. 'Crap! I'm dead!'

"Put him down you ugly mofo!" yelled a familiar voice. My hopes lifted.

SelinaPOV

Anger boiled my blood as I came upon Yusuke being held up in the air by Goki with a terrified Botan at his feet. I could tell by Yusuke's appearance that Goki had already kicked his butt somewhat. I heard Goki say something about eating them. 'I don't friggin think so!'

"Put him down you ugly mofo!"

"Huh?" was all that was able to escape Goki as I ran and body slammed him in the side of the head. I may have been little but I had enough weight to knock him off balance. He stumbled and let go of Yusuke. I growled and grabbed his pointed ears so I wouldn't fall off his shoulders.

"Ow! You bitch!" He yelled as he reached back to grab me.

"I'm not a bitch! I'm The Bitch! If you're gonna insult me, get it right!" I said while pulling his ears with all my might, making his head tilt back and his hands miss me. He snarled as I pushed off his shoulders while still hanging on to his ears and stomped on his spine with my heels. He arched backwards at the impact.

"You whor—" his words were cut off and I heard him choke on something. I leapt off his back and ran around to see Yusuke shoving a log in Goki's mouth.

"Finally! I was waiting for you to open your fat mouth. Don't think I'm going to let you live now, when you were vulgar to my little friend!" I rolled my eyes at the "little" comment. Fear flashed across the big red ape's face as Yusuke pulled back and lifted up his pointer finger. I was surprised to see a golden band on it.

"The skin on you whatever monsters may be as hard as a rock, but I bet your insides aren't." Yusuke's fingertip started to glow with a blue light as he pointed at Goki. Said monster choked a little louder as his eyes widened.

"Monster, meet Spirit Gun!"

A bright light shot forward and a yell was heard as Yusuke's energy blasted into Goki's mouth. The big giant finally fell backwards and was no more. I let out a breath I didn't know I had been holding in and turned to smile at Yusuke who immediately fell to his butt in exhaustion.

"Yusuke!" squeaked an overly worried Botan. She sat down next to him and then a glow caught all of our attention. I knelt on the other side of Yusuke as some spirits floated out of Goki's body and flew away. Yusuke counted aloud as I counted in my head. We both released a sigh of relief, and then looked at each other with wide eyes at hearing one another. Laughter from Botan caused us to laugh as well.

"You guys did it. You saved them all," said a grinning Botan. I smiled and Yusuke smirked in response. A green glow caught my attention and I stood up to follow it. I bent over and picked up the Orb of Baast out of the grass and then turned and headed back to Botan and Yusuke. Botan had thrown one of Yusuke's arms over her shoulder to help him stand. When I got to Yusuke's side I handed him the Orb of Baast.

"You were great Yusuke, even though you got your ass kicked." I laughed as he mock glared at me.

"Oh thanks Lina, that means a lot." I smirked at him as he took the Orb. The three of us just gazed at it. To think that something so pretty and small had caused so much trouble, however it was over.

"Nearly lost my head to get this one artifact back. I'm scared to think what two more of them will take."

"Well, if you would have waited for me maybe you wouldn't have gotten so injured," I said and crossed my arms giving him a disapproving look. He gave me a goofy grin and shrugged his shoulders. I sighed and shook my head.

"Let's just be glad that Goki is finally taken care of," said Botan becoming her cheery self again. Yusuke and I just gave her dry stares. She laughed nervously and took the Orb from Yusuke. I let Yusuke lean on me as Botan stepped back and reached out to have her oar appear in her hands.

"I must go take this back to Koenma and get some workers from Spirit World to take Goki's body out of here," she said as she hopped onto her oar," I'll be back as soon as I can." I nodded and Yusuke just grunted. She grinned and flew away into the air.

NoOnesPOV

Selina sighed again and started dragging Yusuke as best she could, given she was at least six or seven inches shorter than him.

"Well, let's get away from here and get you bandaged."

"Eh, I don't need any stupid bandages." Silence.

……………….SMACK!!

"OW!! OK OK!! I NEED BANDAGES!! Jeez, don't hurt the already hurt."

"That's what you get for being a moron."

"Hey! I'm not a moron!"

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not!"

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not!"

And that was the last conversation the forest heard from the two teens as they exited the forest.

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not!"

"Yes you are."

"NO I AM NOT!"

……………………."Yup."

"NOPE!"

"Yup."

"NOPE!"

Later that evening…

The sky was a beautiful navy blue and a cool breeze was about. Some stars were shining down on the already bright city. Large crowds of people made there way to and from their own special destinations. In all it was a normal sight, except for the teenage boy using a wooden stick as a cane as he limped through the crowd and the small young woman dressed in black who was following behind him.

SelinaPOV

"Yusuke, you're an idiot," I said as I crossed my arms and trailed behind him.

"No…I'm…not," he huffed as he limped along the gray sidewalk.

"Just use my shoulder for support. It would be a whole lot easier than that stupid stick."

"No way, that would be embarrassing." I just grumbled at his male ego and kept near him just in case he tripped.

We both jumped when a beeping went off. Yusuke lifted up his arm and I saw he had a Demon Tracker on his wrist. We both looked at each other with nervous eyes. This wasn't good. Yusuke was still weak from today's match with Goki and there were too many humans around for me to fight openly with the approaching demon. I looked towards Yusuke and knew he was thinking the same thoughts, well at least surrounding him not being able to fight. We both tensed as we caught sight of our demon heading right to us.

"Don't worry, I have no intention of fighting you…"

Hope you guys enjoyed it! Stay tuned for Chapter 9: Mother and Son.
