DISCLAIMER: I neither own nor profit from my usage of characters from Inuyasha and Yu Yu Hakusho. (But the thought is appealing.)

As Yuske, Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei stepped through the portal, following Botan into Lord Koenma’s office, they were met with a strange sight. Now, considering they were a team of Spirit Detectives, working for the Rekai to protect the Ningenkai from the more evil denizens of the Makai, -- and that they themselves were strange mixtures of youkai blood or ningen and youkai blood, or ningen and youkai souls, or held high spiritual powers, or had died, (possibly more than once), -- to say they saw a strange sight, well, THAT was saying something. But all four were stunned to silence at the scene before them. For inside their boss’ office, a battle was being waged …
by a pair of babies.

Lord Koenma, often referred to as “Toddler” by Yuske, since he currently held the form of a small boy-child and was always sucking on an object that appeared to be a pacifier, was rolling around on his desk exchanging blows with a very similar-looking small boy-child, also sucking on a pacifier. Papers were scattered everywhere in the room, and while Koenma was brandishing a stamper, the other child was getting in some licks with a stapler. At one end of the desk stood George, Koenma’s loyal, blue ogre assistant. He was yelling for Koenma to “Get him, boss!!” Next to him stood an unfamiliar red ogre, who was shouting encouragement to the other kid. “Show him what a real demi-god can do!” Both ogres were watching the brawl intently and they were each clutching a wad of cash in their hands. For all intents and purposes, it appeared they had a bet riding on the outcome of the fight.

“What the hell is going on here?!!?” Yuske finally shouted.

The battling babies stopped and looked up. Koenma’s hat lay on the floor and his shirt was pulled and gathered in strange designs being held in place by staples. He was panting for breath, and was clutching the other baby’s shirt at the neck. He had a black eye and there was blood trickling down his chin from his split lower lip. The other one didn’t look too good, either. In addition to a bloody nose, he had a huge bruise covering his left cheek. You could clearly read the words “Request Denied” in squares all over his forehead, cheek, and chin, and his shirt was missing a sleeve that must have been ripped off during the altercation.




“Ha! MY detectives are already here. So it would be pointless to even gather your team now.”
“Ha yourself, Koenma. MY team is already being dispatched directly to the problem area.”
“WHAT? You dirty little cheater. How dare you?”
“Don’t get mad at me for being more efficient.”



“Lord Koenma, would you mind telling us what this is all about?” Unfailingly polite, even when he didn’t really want to be, Kurama tried to redirect Koenma’s attention to the matter at hand.
“Hmmph! It has come to our attention that there is some serious trouble brewing on a small island near the Makai border. Demons have been crossing the barrier and gathering there for some weeks now.”
“WHAT? Why are we just hearing about this NOW?” Running his hand through his hair, Yuske fumed.

“Well, there aren’t many ningens on that island. There’s only one small village operating an exclusive resort, so we weren’t overly concerned at first. Now, however, we believe forces are being gathered there for a specific target or targets. A group of powerful businessmen will be holding a retreat there, and we believe one of them is in possession of a powerful and dangerous artifact. We cannot allow it to fall into the wrong hands or it could spell disaster! So, I need you to investigate the resort and the surrounding island, protect the group of businessmen during their stay, find the artifact, and eliminate all threats.”


“What does this artifact do, and who, exactly, has it? Also, who’s he, and what’s this about another team?” Yuske asked, stabbing a thumb in the other “toddler’s” direction.
“Allow me to introduce myself: I am Lord Enmaru, Koenma’s brother.”
“LITTLE brother.”
“Whatever.”

“WHAT?!?”< br>
“Koenma is in charge of HALF of the Spirit Realm’s administrative and investigative affairs, and I take care of the other half properly.”
“Why you little…!”
“The truth hurts, doesn’t it, BIG brother?”
“YOU didn’t even HAVE a team of Spirit Detectives until last year.”
“True. But I believe I recruited an infinitely more effective, and certainly more interesting team.”


“Bah! Your team is nothing more than a group of degenerate hentais. Excluding Lady Kagome, of course. And you only chose her so you can call her into your office and look at her whenever you want.”
“You’re the one that has a picture of her in a bikini blown up poster-size that you put up on the ceiling in your bedroom. How did you get that picture, by the way? And are you denying her power and abilities? I believe your file on her must be lacking information, if that is the case.”
“Stay out of my room! And what do you know about my file on her? Have you been deliberately concealing information?”
“Let’s just say, there’s more to her than meets the eye. And THAT is saying something.”
“Whatever her abilities, you have to admit all four members of your team were forced into service for breaking the laws of Reikai.”
“And your team is any better?”
“Only two of them are actual criminals.”


“Well, this is certainly an interesting turn of events. I had no idea Koenma was splitting duties with a sibling.”
“Hell, Red. We didn’t even know he HAD a sibling.”
“Hn. Just another example of him keeping things from us.”

On the verge of losing his temper now due to the confusing situation and the revelation that Koenma was keeping BIG secrets from them, Yuske exploded.
“HELLO? The artifact? Don’t you think we should know what it’s capable of?”
“Right. Look at the screen.” A beautiful necklace made up of shiny black gems and one large square white gem that looked like a very large diamond flashed onto the screen. “This necklace holds the Gem of Desire. Whoever wears the necklace can use it to incite and compel the desires of another being or a whole group of them.”

“You mean it makes people horny?” Yuske snickered. He and Kuwabara started laughing.
With a loud sigh, Enmaru mumbled, “That’s the same reaction I got from a couple members of my team.”


“Don’t be so short-sighted, Yuske. Sexual desires are only a part of it. It can affect and control greed, powerlust, -- you name it! It can tap into a person’s desire for safety -- causing them to become paranoid and dangerous. Or a desire for a quick fortune or easy lifestyle can turn a person into a thief or inveterate gambler. The desire for strength and power can be channeled into ruthlessness and bloodshed. It can turn people, or demons, into hardened killers. There are many ways this gem can be used as a weapon. And the person who wears the necklace can use it to affect a single being or everyone in a 5-mile mile radius.”



Kurama studied the necklace thoughtfully. “Does it only affect desires already present in a person, or can it actually make a person feel and act on a desire that is not his own?”
“Um. Well, … we don’t really know.”
“That significantly increases the potential dangers of this mission.”


“Crap!” Yuske broke in. “So, who has the necklace? Why don’t we just take it from him and lock it away like you do with so many other artifacts?”
“Well, that’s just it. We’re not sure exactly who has it. We’ve picked up its energy signature and tracked it to the corporation which is sending its executives to the island. We haven’t been able to pinpoint the person who has it, though. There must be some kind of cloaking spell keeping it from being detected at close-range.”
Kurama broke in here. “Do you think it is possible that the person with the necklace is cooperating with the demon behind the gathering forces -- that he is bringing it there to him?”
Koenma and Enmaru looked stunned. They stared at Kurama, and then at each other.
“I never thought about that.”
“It’s possible.”

“This makes things a little trickier. Instead of letting the businessmen know you’re guarding them, you’ll have to keep a low profile.”
“I think that makes Lady Kagome the primary operative, then doesn’t it? Your team may as well do the island reconnaissance, while mine protects the ningens and finds the necklace.
“What? No way! You just want your team to get all the credit in the report Father gets.”


“Hey! Why would you try to make a girl do something dangerous like play bodyguard to some guys who are either going to get attacked for the necklace or are part of the bad guys anyway? That’s not right.” Kuwabara couldn’t believe they would let the only woman in the group be in so much danger.
“It’s because she’s a woman that she will be able to get close to the ningen men without being suspicious. They’re all going to want her anyway, so she’ll have plenty of opportunities to look for the necklace.”

“I have to agree with Kuwabara somewhat, though, “ Kurama softly interjected. “She shouldn’t be the only one responsible for protecting the group. And if she is as attractive as you say, what if whoever has the necklace uses its powers on her? I think we will make our own partnerships and assignments after we meet with the others. It would be best to combine the teams and utilize our various skills and strengths.”



“Quite right, Red. And we will want to be partnered with the female. From the things Koenma and Enmaru are saying, she must really be something!”
“Is that all you ever think about Youko?”
“Yes.”


“Well, I guess you can hash that out with my detectives when you see them,” Enmaru agreed. Then he leaned over to Koenma and whispered loudly, “But my team is still going to win.”
Koenma whispered back, “Care to up the stakes?”
“Double them, and the loser picks up the tab from the resort.”
“You’re on!”


“I can’t believe you two are betting on the outcome of this mission! You’re pathetic. Can we get going now? If the other team is already on the island, we need to meet with them as soon as possible.”
“Fine, Yuske. Botan, take them to the island.”
“Perhaps you should let MY guide drop them off where my team is?”
“FINE! Botan, go with them, though so you ‘ll know the exact location.”
Turning to the red ogre, Enmaru said, “Henry, get Kouga.”
