Chapter Two- Plans

"Stop," Yoko said and the others did so. "We cannot proceed to our destination as a group. Generally speaking, wolves and foxes do not travel together. I propose that you and Hiei proceed down this street, Yusuke, while Kuwabara and I take that side street and reach the club ahead of you." He pointed to his left.

Yusuke nodded. "You have a point and it makes sense. We'll meet up with you at the club."

Yoko nodded before the fox demons walked away with Yusuke watching and noticing something: Their tails were not as full and long as his tail or Hiei's either. Their ears were a little shorter than his own. Furthermore, I'm the darkest one with gray hair while everyone else are silver, white, or blond.

"Detective."

Yusuke shook his head and focused on Hiei. He gave a nod and the two headed down the street. "Hiei, you look cool as a wolf," he said.

Hiei gave a grunt. "It is only temporary. I want this mission over quickly so I can return to normal."

"You and me both. I'm feeling instincts I don't care for."

"Such as?"

Yusuke then let out a howl that was echoed by other wolves in the city. Hiei stared at Yusuke in confusion. "Detective, what the-?" he began before he howled as well.

"That's what I was feeling," Yusuke said as they resumed walking. "I wanted to howl and couldn't fight it."

"I couldn't resist responding to it," Hiei added and then shrugged. "That's normal for wolves, demon or not."

Yusuke ran a hand down his hair. Maybe I should have taken the fox one instead.

Kuwabara's ears stood straight up as a howl was heard. "That's Urameshi," he said, recognizing the tone.

"Yes," Yoko said. "I suspected that the wolf's urge to howl would surface before too long." Howls echoed around them and ended with a howl the silver fox identified as belonging to Hiei.

"I'm guessing we don't deal with that."

"Correct. However we have our set of instincts."

"Like what?"

"Being overly aggressive at times whether it is a battle or a desire to be sexual. I have learned to control that instinct long ago."

"Maybe I should have taken the wolf one."

"Wolves can be aggressive as well as the other members of the canine family."

"Will Sharon be very aggressive when we go to arrest her?"

"She will fight back but it will be four against one so we will not have trouble bringing her in. It is more likely that she will come at us in a subtle or cunning manner rather than a straight out fight."

Kuwabara followed Yoko as he digested what he had learned about being a fox demon. He had an instinct to being overly aggressive that could flare up at times and he hoped that he would be human again before that instinct cropped up.

Yusuke and Hiei joined the line of demons waiting to get in. It wasn't a long line or a short one, but Yusuke saw no sign of Yoko or Kuwabara. Either they're already in or got held up. Yoko likely has enemies who would love to settle the score. The two wolves were permitted inside and Yusuke spotted his teammates on his left not far from the door. He wended his way to them with Hiei behind him. "No problems?" he asked.

"None and I have located the perfect spot for the arrest. If you would follow me." Yoko moved through the crowd with his friends, all four unaware of a pair of deep gold eyes following them.

Sharon tapped her lips as she regarded the two wolves and two foxes as they vanished into the crowd. Oh, they are attractive ones. I wouldn't mind having them as mates…except for Yoko. Even I am not foolish enough to tangle with him. I do find it curious that wolves and foxes are moving in a group as the two species tend to stick to their own kind. The fact that they are together should make it easy to lure them to my home. She imagined being intimate with the three demons she saw as she moved to her favorite spot in the club where she could see almost everything, flirting with others by batting her eyes, gently running a finger along a jawline, or chucking a chin with her tail. The indulgent smiles she got made her feel good while the glares and sneers sent thoughts of murder and possible rape through her head. Hopefully, my next victims will fall for me. The idea of having kits or hybrid babies is rather appealing.

Yusuke looked around the area and nodded. "Yeah, this is perfect, Yoko."

"I had thought as much. I recommend that you wait near the door and lure Sharon out here. I will be nearby and use my rose whip to bind her. Then, you will find Kuwabara and Hiei so we can conclude our case."

"Works for me," Yusuke said as the others nodded. The quartet headed back in with Yusuke near the door, Yoko in a position where he could keep an eye on Yusuke while Kuwabara and Hiei melted into the crowd of dancing or drinking demons. Yusuke noticed that most demons gave Yoko a wide berth and frightened expressions. The silver fox merely gazed up at the ceiling and was immobile. A smile crossed Yusuke's face at this scene. Clearly, Yoko was aware of the reactions to his presence but did nothing in response to them. That's Yoko and Kurama for you: Always calm and in control.

Hiei took up a position at the bar in the back of the building. He sat on a stool with his back to the counter, his eyes scanning the crowd leisurely to see if he could spot Sharon. He figured that if he met Sharon first, he would chat her up and convince her to meet his friend, Yusuke. Once he had 'introduced' them, he would then melt into the background and wait for the arrest to occur. It might take some time to get her to follow him outside, but it should occur before the club closes. He turned to the counter, ordered a non-alcoholic beverage, and then turned back to the crowd to watch for the team's target.

Kuwabara had decided to stake out the dance floor. He surprised himself with how gracefully he moved as he danced. He always felt that he moved awkwardly and clumsily when compared to other people, but now his body was different and had an elegant movement that he hoped he'll be able to retain when he became human again.

The sensitive senses, though, he could do without. The music was loud but not so much as to be considerate of the patrons' hearing. His nose picked up scents he wouldn't have as a human and couldn't wait to lose that sharp sense of smell.

He saw the smiles of the demons around him and it struck him how demons were like humans in some ways. They could laugh and smile while enjoying leisure activities like dancing or just talking to one another. Up to now, Kuwabara had experienced demons laughing and smiling while they were fighting. These demons were living normal, peaceful lives with no thought of terrorizing humans or each other.

But one of them is terrorizing other demons. It's interesting that she's our first female demon to arrest. In any case, I hope we find her soon. He continued to dance, not seeing a brown fox heading his way.
