Chapter 2
Black Rose
---------------------------------------------Yuske's Room---------------------------------------------
“Botan what the hell are we doing in my room?!” Yuske screamed at the blue haired girl.
“Calm down Yuske. First we're going to do a little bit of studying,” she replied smiling at them all.
“There's no way in hell that I'm studying! You know as well as anyone that I hate school.”
“Yes Yuske we all know that, but that doesn't mean I approve of you skipping school or of you fighting either” said a rather short girl that had brown hair and eyes and had just come into the room.
“Uh…Keiko what are you doing here?” sliding toward the other side of the room slowly, so as to be out of hitting range of the irate female. She may be small but, she sure as hell can hit hard. `I wonder where she gets the strength to hit that hard. Cuz it sure stings even after she hits me, even if it is just playfully.'
Glaring at her boyfriend she said, “You said that today you were going to take me out on a date remember,” her voice growing dangerously more angry with every word she said.
“Oh shit!”
“Watch your language Yuske!”
“Aw come on Keiko, Koenma wants us to go on another mission to get some lamp thingy,” shrugging his shoulders and getting closer to his girlfriend. (BueFlame: Oooo bad move Yuske. Yuske: Ah shut up. BueFlame: What did you say.*death glare*Yuske: Uh…nothin'*runs away* BueFlame: Coward get back here! Before I start chasing after him I want to apologize for this interruption. Well with that, on with the fic.)
Then she hits him on the arm. Hard. “Ow! What the hell was that for?!” Slap!
`That sounded like it hurt, my ears are still ringing'
`Hn. The fool got what he deserved'
`Yes I agree with Hieh'
`So you're finally awake, are you fox?'
`Hey I get tired too'
`Doing what'
`Stuff''
`Right' mentally rolling his eyes at the fox's antics.
`Hey! Don't roll your eyes at me you little-'
`That's quite enough you two'
`Hn'
“Botan, why don't you tell us know what you were going to tell us earlier. Preferably before anyone starts fighting again,” addressing the, until know ignored grim reaper.
“Hey why am I in Urameshi's room? And why are Keiko and Botan here?”
“So you finally decided to wake up, huh ya block head?”
“Shut up Urameshi! Ugh…my head hurts. Anyone one got an aspirin or somethin' that'll help?”
“Well anyway, I wanted to show you guys this,” taking out a roll of parchment from her kimono,“It's a layout of the castle. I thought it might come in handy for the job. It even shows the places were there are likely to be guards,” she said brightly.
“Thank you Botan, this will indeed help us complete the mission faster,” taking the layout of the castle from Botan with a smile.
“You're welcome, I'm glad I was able to help,” smiling at him in return.
“Hn. Let's go already”
“Alright then, follow me,” making another portal for them to go through.
“I want to come too Yuske,” grabbing on to his sleeve before he went through after the guys.
“It's too dangerous for you to come with us Keiko. You'll have to stay here and wait for me to return,” looking at her and regretting saying so after seeing the look on her face.
“But Yuske I want to go with you guys, besides I can get into places that even Hieh can't get into. Oh, please Yuske. Besides I've been to more dangerous things, so don't try to pull that one on me. And you know I hate waiting for you to return, it's nerve wrecking,” now on verge of tears.
“Fine you can come, even though I know I'm going to regret it. On one condition though, you will do as I say and without disobeying or argument. Got it?” massaging his temples for he new a headache was on the way.
“Oh thank you Yuske. And I'll do whatever you say ok,” hugging him and giving him a quick peck on the lips.
“Alright then let's go. The guys are probably waiting for me.”
“Okay then what are we waiting for lets go,” and with that they slipped through the portal and onto the road that lead through to the castle.
-------------------Somewhere in the Mountain Ranges in the Youkai Realm------------------
“Hn. Took you long enough.”
“Yeah well Keiko kept me a while. So where do get in there from here?”
“It seems that the best way to get in, is through the back gate,” said the red haired Kurama looking at the map.
“Alright then, it looks like you've got everything under control. So I'll leave you at it,” with that Botan flew through the portal on her oar.
“Let's go already, stay behind me Keiko,” motioning for them to follow them.
Once they were inside they went toward the main chamber, killing all of the demons that got in their way without too much difficulty. When they finally got to the main chamber they found it empty and at the center was the lamp they were sent to retrieve.
`Odd it's empty and I don't sense anything. How about you Hieh?'
`Nothing yet'
“Well I'll be damned this wasn't that hard to get at all,” Yuske said grabbing the lamp that was at the center of the chamber.
Suddenly as if out of thin air, the gang of oni appeared surrounding the spirit detectives.
“I'm afraid it won't be that easy,” said the ugliest and the biggest of the oni there.
“Who the hell are you?!” Yuske demanded.
“I'm Kuzo the leader of this gang of oni. Now give me back that lamp or I'll kill this pretty little girl I've got here,” he said grabbing a frightened Keiko and holding her from the throat for him to see.
“You bastard let her go right now, before I beat the shit outta you!”
But before he could carry out his threat to kill the oni leader, the oni were all dead on the floor in a puddle of their own blood in a blink of an eye. “Put her down vermin,” said a deathly calm female voice coming from the cloaked figure holding a katana to the oni leader's throat. As soon as he let her go and she was safely behind Yuske, she removed the blade from his throat and said, “Keiko turn around I don't want you to see this.” And Keiko having a feeling that it was for the best turned around as she was asked to.
“Wait I thought y-you were gonna let me go when I let the girl go!” stuttered out the oni leader.
“…” When she did the cloaked figure sliced the oni leader neatly in half. “I'll take this lamp now, thank you.”
“Hey how'd you get that? Who are you? Why did you help us?!” screamed Yuske demanding some answers from the cloaked figure.
“I will see you again detective and you too Keiko…very soon,” and as quickly as she had come she was gone, but in the place where she had stood not 1 second ago was a black rose.
Gasp. “It really was her,” and with that Keiko fell into a state of unconsciousness.
“Keiko!”
