A/N: Sorry about the lack of updates guys. I just started college and I'm stressed out. I also forgot that I left you guys hanging. (Thanks for those of you who have reminded me. You know who you are since I don't have the list in front of me.) Anyway on a semi-bad note I got to see the very last episode of YuYu (I bought the last dubbed DVD, it's all over *cries*), but we'll always have the boys to watch. All right! Now on to the next chapter, since I've left you in suspense the last time I wrote.

************************************************************** **********

Yusuke desperately ran around trying to find his communications mirror. He needed to get to Spirit World and fast. He was too angry to talk to Koenma, so he needed to talk to Boton. This is why he was looking for his communication mirror instead of reaching under his bed for his briefcase. His briefcase had been beeping for the past half-hour since Hiei had been taken from the apartment. He had talked to Kurama and Keiko. They both told him to go see Koenma and see what it would take to free him.

“Ah ha, there you are?” Yusuke said in triumph.

The mirror had been wedged in-between the dresser and the wall. He quickly yanked it out and opened it to see Boton's face in the mirror.

“I thought you were never going to use this again because it looked like a compact and fate forbid you ever being seen with make-up.”

“Enough Boton, I need to get to Spirit World. Now”

“And why should I…?”

“Because Hiei was taken by those stupid tools.”

“The SDF?”

“Yeah, who else?”

“Oh dear, I'll be right there.”

With that the screen went blank and Yusuke was left to wait in silence.

I should have known that those tools would come for him eventually. Now I just hope I can get him back.

Five minutes later Boton showed up. She seemed quite upset.

“I can't believe that King Yama actually took Hiei away. Koenma said his father was going to give them another chance. I just don't understand it.”

“Well let's go ask Toddler Bitch what the hell daddy dearest was thinking when he changed his mind.”

Boton and Yusuke sped off towards Spirit World as fast as they could and after a few minutes they found themselves in front of Koenma.

“Start talking Koenma. What's going on?”

“It's complicated Yusuke. According to my father, despite Hiei's punishment, he has shown a great deal of threatening behavior, which leads my father to believe that he's still dangerous to humans.”

At this, Yusuke slammed his hands on Koenma's desk. He was beyond pissed now.

“It's gone too far, Koenma. He doesn't deserve any more punishment. If he were a real threat he would have killed those two bastards. If you ask me they deserved it, even thought it goes against Spirit World's policy.”

“It's too complicated Yusuke. You shouldn't interfere.”

“If you don't do anything, Koenma, I will. I'm sick of seeing Spirit World treating demons as some kind of blame tool to get what they want accomplished. It's sick and I won't let it happen anymore,” Yusuke said as he turned to walk out of the office.

“Now wait just a minute, Yusuke. I'll try talking to my father one more time. Just give me some time.”

“You have thirty minutes to impress me Koenma and if nothing gets accomplished, I'll do it myself.”

************************************************************** **********

Koenma knocked on the door to his father's room. It was time to try again. He knew his father was going to be furious with him, but with Yusuke's threat hanging over him, it was better that he talk to his father.

“Enter,” a voice boomed from the other side.

Koenma entered and shut the door behind him. He was scared of his father and disliked meeting with him. It was hard to be the son of the great King Yama.

“What do you want now, Koenma?”

“Dad, I've come to ask for Hiei's release.”

“Didn't I already tell you why I am not releasing him and why I ordered his capture in the first place?”

“Yes dad, you did, but I fear that our Spirit Detective has different views on the matter. He told me that Hiei was capable of killing those two teachers and yet he didn't. He also could have done so much more damage than he already has. I see no reason that he shouldn't be released. Hiei has been stripped of his power and that is punishment enough. Besides, he is a valuable asset to my Spirit Detective outfit. I can't believe in your judgment of him and that is why I request for his release.”

Koenma bowed as he finished. He hoped his father would listen to him and grant Hiei's freedom. If not, he feared the clash between his father and Yusuke.

“I know that Yusuke Urameshi has come to the Spirit World. Was this his idea for you to confront me with this?”

“Yes dad, he has full confidence in Hiei and so do I.”

It was silent for a moment while King Yama thought it over.

“Very well then. I will give him one last chance. If he messes up again then he will be put into the custody of the SDF and placed on trial.”

Koenma was shocked. His father had actually let Hiei go. Koenma bowed in thanks and quickly left his father's presence to go down to prison to retrieve Hiei.

************************************************************** **********

“Koenma sure is taking a long time,” Boton commented quietly.

“He still has five minutes to get back here with Hiei before I go King Yama hunting,” Yusuke said from Koenma's desk chair.

As soon as he said this the door opened to reveal Koenma and a frazzled Hiei. Yusuke smirked.

“It's about time you got back. I was beginning to think I would get some action in some way.”

“I think my father was convinced by your enthusiasm Yusuke. He said he would give Hiei one more chance and that if he screws up this time it's all over. Now if you would get out of my chair and leave me alone, I can get all this paperwork done.”

“Sure, let's go Boton. Come on Hiei.”
