The first thing Chantelle did the next morning was run to Tod's to see if he had any headlights that would fit the broken one on the van. After a little searching, he handed one to her. She headed back home and immediately started fixing the broken headlight. The temperature was perfect today, and Chantelle hoped it stayed that way. Upon reexamining the garden earlier that day, she had discovered that some of the plants seemed to be pulling through... something that she breathed a slight sigh of relief over.

Jin came up to her, smiling pleasantly as she was finishing setting the cover. “I didn't know you were mechanically inclined...”

She snorted. “I'm not. I can only do three things... change the oil... change a flat... and change a broken headlight. Other than that, I'm screwed.”

He grinned. “Well, I just came by to ask if you would like to go for a walk on this beautiful and pleasant day.”

She smiled back at him. “Sure. I'm finished here. Just let me put these tools away.”

She quickly placed the screwdriver back into the box and checked things over to make sure they were in good order, wiped her hands off, and she and Jin started up towards the oil well.

He took in a deep breath. “Ah... you've got to admit... that rain certainly made the air smell wonderful.”

She nodded. “That's one of the reasons I don't want to move to the city... there's no such thing as fresh air.”

He nodded. “I've noticed that.”

“I've noticed something else, too.... something that kinda gives me the creeps.”

He blinked and looked at her. “What's that?”

“Well... if you guys hadn't shown up when you did... I'd definitely be dead by now. And the yard would be flatened. First you guys saved me from Matt, then Rinku saved Diane from that oil well worker... and then just yesterday, you saved our yard. I can't help but be a little weirded out by the timing of it all. I mean... I've lived out here for my whole life and we've never had problems like those before. I've stayed at home by myself for weeks at a time and I haven't experienced anything other than boredom.”

Jin thought about that a moment. “Hearing it like that, it almost sounds like someone's got it in for ya, doesn't it?” He grinned. “But don't you be worrying your pretty head. We'll keep ya safe.”

She smiled. “It IS really comforting to have you guys here... not to mention great for entertainment.”

His grin widened. “We aim ta please... especially when it comes to the ladies!”

She laughed at this, but in the next instant, Jin stopped in his tracks and his eyes widened slightly. She blinked and looked at him. “Jin? What's wrong?”

“Stay close! I suddenly sense a powerful demonic aura! And it's NOT from anyone that's here!”

Her eyes went wide. “If it's not from anyone that's HERE, then who's it coming from???”

Her question was answered an instant later when a high pitched whine filled the air and flashes of light erupted in the sky, a dark purple hole opened up in the sky and five figures dropped out.

Jin's eyes went huge. “It's TEAM BONKOTSU!!!”

A tall and very handsom demon smirked at the two of them. “Well... I believe it's Jin the Wind Master, is it not? And what's this? A beautiful mortal woman. I believe we could get a fair amount of money for her if we sold her on the Demon Black Market...”

Chantelle's eyes went huge. “WHAT?!!!”

Jin looked at her. “Chantelle!! Run!! I'll try to hold them off for you! Go now!!”

She didn't need to be told twice as cold fear tore throughout her. She turned and shot away as quickly as her legs would go as she heard the beginnings of a battle erupt behind her.

“And where do you think you're going?” asked a voice as she was suddenly grabbed from behind. She suddenly found herself face to face with a green haired demon with several horns sticking out of his head and pointed ears. Acting purely on instinct, she let out the loudest ear piercing scream she could and kicked him as hard as she could right in the groin.

He cried out in pain and released her immediately. She jumped to her feet and shot off once more.

“YOU BITCH!!! I'LL GET YOU FOR THAT!!!!” she heard the enraged cry from behind her.

She risked a glance back just as she was passing the fence and saw a bright globe of light shooting right at her. She let out another scream as it barely missed her, striking the ground right behind her feet and she was sent flying. She caught the barest glimpse of the others come racing out of the house before she slammed through the west wall of the garage... the only part left standing, and then slammed into her car, denting in the door and causing it to move sideways on its tires a few feet. She slumped down to the ground and didn't move.

The rest of team Urameshi saw this and cried out in alarm, Kurama racing toward her immediately as Hiei, Rinku, Toya, Kuwabara and Chu jumped into the battle. Yusuke stood off to the side, ready to assist the others in the fight if he should be needed, but also watching Kurama's back.

Kurama was immensely relieved when he found she was still alive. She was in very bad condition, but she still lived. She had seven broken ribs, a dislocated shoulder, a cracked hip, and a gash on her head, along with countless other cuts and bruises. His relief was replaced by cold rage an instant later.

The fighting stopped the instant they all sensed an enormous surge of power. Looking over, they saw an enormous dust cloud where Kurama had been knelt by the young woman. When the cloud settled they saw that Suichi Minamino had transformed himself into Youko Kurama, and he held the limp form of the woman in his arms. And his expression was filled with rage.

“One thing that I shall never stand for... is deliberately bringing harm to an innocent who is not even able to defend herself.” He said, his voice low and dangerous. “By attacking this woman... you have incurred my wrath.” He walked up to Yusuke. “Take care of her.” Kurama said, as the boy very gently took her into his arms.

“I will.”

The fight erupted once more, only this time with Kurama using his plants to aid the others. Two of Bonkotsu's men were killed in the first few minutes. Yusuke saw a ball of dark energy coming toward him, so he had no choice but to dodge rather than try to deflect it while he held the girl in his arms. The ball of energy slammed into the trailer and half of it immediately blew away.

The Spirit Detective winced. “It's a damn good thing she's not conscious to see THAT...” he muttered, knowing she would have had a total coronary.... not that he'd be able to blame her.

As he tried to get himself and his charge to a safer location, he saw a blast of energy headed straight for the oil well. Not wanting to see the resulting explosion that would occur if it struck, he had no choice but to quickly set the girl down on the soft grass and used his Spirit Gun to deflect the blast into another direction. It slammed into the old garage, completely anhialating it in an instant. He quickly shielded Chantelle from the debris that went flying in all directions.

Bonkotsu's other two men went down in that instant, and he decided that he'd had enough. Lifting his arms into the air, he reopened another portal... this one had a vaccuum effect, and everyone was helpless in its hold as it pulled them into it.

When they got up once more, they were both surprised and relieved to see that they were where they had been fighting Bonkotsu and his gang in the first place... an underground cavern located in the Demon Plane. At least they were back where they belonged.

Kurama, still in his full demon form, took advantage of Bonkotsu's own disorientation and unleashed his Vampire Plant... which immediately imbedded itself in the other demons chest and sucked the life blood out of him.

Yusuke sighed in relief. “Well, I'm glad THAT'S all over. I just hope that Chantelle's going to be okay.”

Hiei crossed his arms after he put his sword away. “Hn. I think she'll be fine. Her neighbors must have saw all the explosions and are probably taking her to the hospital right now. I wonder how she'll explain what happened.”

In that instant, another person entered the room... a blue haired woman that they were all very much familiar with. Yusuke smiled immediately. “Hey, Botan!!”

The woman sighed in huge relief. “Thank Goodness!! Koenma almost had a complete spaz when you guys were sucked into the portal! It's a good thing Bonkotsu decided to try finishing you guys off and returned you here. What the hell happened? Where did he send you?”

Kurama smiled at her. “To another Earth. We'll explain everything later, but I think I speak for us all when I say we could all use a good rest. Do you suppose you could transport us to Koenma's palace?”

She nodded. “Sure thing!” Then she blinked, looking past them. “Um... guys? Who's she?” she asked, pointing past them.

The eight of them stiffened and turned as one to see where she pointed. Lying sprawled out on the ground, almost concealed in the shadows, was Chantelle, still unconscious and breathing shallowly.

Yusuke's eyes went huge. “Oh... no... She... came through the portal with us!”

Kuwabara was staring in horror as well. “Bonkotsu's dead now... so that means....”

Hiei's own eyes were wide. “She's trapped here...”

Kurama's eyes were huge and he appeared to be in a state of shock. He could do nothing but stare at where the young woman was lying.

Jin approached her and gently scooped her up. “There's nothing we can do about it for now! Right now, she needs to get healed!”

Botan blinked. “But... who is she??”

Kuwabara looked at her. “A friend who helped us. She lived in the other dimension. We'll explain everything when we get to the palace, but Jin's right. She needs some healing action.”

The Ferrywoman nodded and transported them all to the palace.
