Part 2: Briefing

"So what's the problem now, Toddler?" Yusuke asked the ruler in a brisk tone.

Koenma sighed, but chose to forgo his usual retort in the hopes of expediting the conversation. "A matter of great importance and delicacy." He replied. "Spirit World is maintained by a council of elders who oversee the lesser matters. They maintain law and order." Koenma pauses, taking in the fact that the teen before him now seemed at least somewhat interested.

"Go on then."

"One of the long-time members is preparing to retire and will soon be replaced with a new member." Koenma began. "The transition is imperative, as there is only one viable successor for him- Shiotori Matsui." He finished.

"What's this all leading up to?" Yusuke asked impatiently.

"I'm getting to that." Koenma replied. "The problem is that someone tried to kill him yesterday- we suspect that a terrorist organization known only as the `Red Claw' was behind it." He finished.

Koenma sighed and then continued. "I'm authorizing you top-level clearance to rap this case up. In other words- you will be acting on your own discretion… about the restraints of the law."

Yusuke perked up at this. "Then you're telling me that I wonted get in trouble no matter what I do, as long as I solve this case?"

The prince nodded. "There are no other candidated to fill the position- only Matsui is capable of filling all the requirements." He replied with a grave look on his face. "If he dies, then we'll be dealing with potential anarchy.

"That serios, eh?" Yusuke remarked as he took the information in. "What about the others?" He then asked.

Koenma shook his head. "They are currently involved in other matters and will be delayed for a while- so you will be working this solo, except for a special agent that will arrive tomorrow."

Yusuke frowned. "I don't like working with people I don't know." He replied. "I won't have time to break him in." He added.

"Too bad, he is specially trained for such missions as this- his skills at intelligence and espionage are necessary." Koenma replied. "One more thing," He added, sliding a tape across his desk.

"What's this?" Yusuke asked as held up the cassette.

"Footage of the assassination, I recommend you check it out- perhaps it will help you better understand the case and who we are dealing with." The Spirit World ruler finished.

Yusuke slipped the tape into his jacket. "Alright, I get started on this tonight." He replied.

"Good luck." Koenma spoke as the teen left the room.
