Chapter 35
Botan arrived just before Keiko did, but they still had to wait for Shiziru.
"I called her just before I headed over here," Keiko said. "Apparently I woke her up, so she may take a little while longer."
Botan sighed, "Oh Shiziru," she groaned. "Oh well," she continued brightly, "I guess we should introduce Keiko to Anada."
They introduced the two and waited for Shiziru.
"So what has Shiziru been doing?" Shiroi asked. She hadn't seen the woman at all in the past two months that she had been at the temple, nor when she had come the first time after the Gathering.
"Working," Keiko answered. "We haven't seen her much though, not since you left."
"Sorry," Shiroi apologized. She turned to Anada, "Once Shiziru gets here we'll introduce you and be on our way." She turned back to Keiko, a question on her mind. "How exactly are we getting around?"
"Shiziru's going to drive," Keiko answered. "Now I don't know if you've ever been in a car Shiroi, but I know Anada hasn't."
"What's a car?" Anada asked.
"It's a big machine that can hold people and transport them from place to place," Shiroi answered. "I've been in one a few times. They travel on paved roads and there are rules to driving."
"Sounds a little intimidating," Anada said.
"You don't know the half of it," Keiko muttered, remembering when Yuseke was hit by a car, and all the other sorts of accidents that could happen with cars.
Finally Shiziru arrived, looking slightly harried.
"That's the last time I let my bro borrow they car to go and get milk," Shiziru grumbled.
"He has his own motorcycle," Keiko said, "Why didn't he use that?"
"I don't know," Shiziru answered with a shrug, "But I'm not letting him use the car again, not if he's going to take forever with it."
"Poor Kuwabara," Shiroi said. "Always getting yelled at."
"Huh?" Anada asked.
"Kuwabara and Shiziru are brother and sister," Shiroi answered. "Kuwabara is their last name, Kuwabara's first name is really Kazuma." She turned to Shiziru, "Shiziru, this is my friend Anada, she's from my home village."
"My brother mentioned you," Shiziru said to Anada as they shook hands. "He told me nice things about you, but not so nice things about you husband."
Anada sighed, "Well, he's not as bad to me, hardly at all, but I guess you have to be on his good side to know the good in him."
"That's true," Shiziru said. "Come guys, if we don't get going soon the traffic's going to be horrible, it is a Sunday after all."
"The places are always packed anyway," Keiko said. "But you're right, we should get going."
They all said goodbye to Genkai and descended the stairs and down to where Shiziru had parked her car. Shiroi had to explain so much to her friend, and had to turn to Keiko and Shiziru for answers too.
Luckily the questions stopped once they reached the more civilized city. All the buildings captivated Anada, and all of the people there were.
"I see more people walking by than there are in our village," Anada said. "How do people live so close to one another, and in such big numbers?"
"It's how they grow up," Shiroi answered. "It's as normal to them as the village is to you."
"How did you react when you first saw all of this?" Anada asked Shiroi.
"Well," Shiroi answered, "I felt like how you do, except I was so used to hold my emotions in that I didn't show them, or asked the questions you've been asking."
"What are the guys doing today?" Keiko asked.
"I don't know," Shiroi answered. "Hiei got a message through telepathy from Kurama saying that Koenma wanted them, that's why he wasn't standing around when you guys showed up."
"I thought it was a little strange that the little fire demon wasn't with you," Botan said.
"It must be a mission," Shiziru said, "Yuseke came by just as I was leaving and told my brother that Koenma wanted them."
"Let's hope it doesn't take them too long and it's not too dangerous," Keiko said.
***
In Spirit World, Yuseke, Kuwabara, Kurama and Hiei were waiting for Koenma to allow them into his office.
"I hope Koenma's not sending us on some long term mission," Yuseke said.
"You're not the only one that hopes that," Kurama said as he stole a glance at Hiei, whom glared at him.
"I just wish that toddler would let us in his office," Kuwabara said. "What's the deal with making us sit out here?"
Suddenly the door opened and Koenma stood on the top of his desk, the usual stack of papers shoved to one side. "I heard that," Koenma muttered to Kuwabara.
"So what's up Koenma?" Yuseke asked.
Koenma looked at all four of them, "A demon is loose in the human world."
"What's new?" Yuseke grumbled.
Koenma glared at the spirit detective. "Well this demon is a pretty nasty one, and is going to cause some major havoc pretty soon if I don't finish briefing you guys pretty soon."
He pulled out his remote control and pointed it to his TV, where a monstrous looking beast appeared on the screen. "His name is Blapsyic, and he's an insect type demon."
"Like the Maki insects?" Yuseke asked.
Koenma shook his head, "No, completely different. Blapsyic has two forms, his tiny insect form, and his demon form you see on the screen. His almost harmless in his insect form, so he doesn't stay in it long, but the advantage to it is that he can sneak into almost anywhere while in the form. Also, he's almost impossible to detect in that form."
"What can he do in his demon form?" Kurama asked.
"Well," Koenma said. He pressed a button on his remote and several of Blapsyic's body parts were scanned. "The spikes on his body he can shoot, and the ones on his head a poisonous, so watch out for those. His claws are sharp, and also poisonous, so are his fangs, but he only uses his fangs as a last resort. His wings can create sonic booms that can demolish buildings if they aren't built correctly."
The toddler groaned, "That's about all the information we have about his attacks. As for his criminal history, he seems to like mass destruction, hence his sonic booms. He likes mass murder too, need I hence the spikes? He's killed hundreds of people and destroyed many historical monuments in the demon world, and doesn't ignore the treasures he can steal. He's a formidable foe, but he should be easy work for you four."
"So do you have a location of where he is?" Yuseke asked.
Koenma clicked several buttons on his remote, "Well, as of this moment, he's in his insect form and heading to that area in your home area where a lot of teenagers and adults like to go shopping."
"The mall?" Kuwabara asked.
"I guess that's what you call it," Koenma answered. He noticed the frantic look in Kuwabara's eyes, and watched it appear in the rest of the spirit detectives. "What's wrong?"
Yuseke gulped, "Keiko and the girls are heading there right now, and if anything they're already there."
"Well then what are standing around here for?" Koenma asked, "Get back to the human world and stop that demon!"
Yuseke and his friends turned on their heels and raced out the door, but Hiei had left way before then.
***
"So many people," Anada gasped as she clung to Shiroi's arm.
"Yes and this is only the entrance," Botan said cheerfully. "Come on, let's go."
"Got anything in mind Shiroi?" Keiko asked.
Shiroi shook her head, "Not really, I'll look around though."
"Well let's get walking before we lose Botan," Shiziru said. "She seems more excited to be here than all of us."
"Excited isn't really a word I would use," Anada said as she clung to the smaller woman tightly, afraid that if she let go she would get lost in the crowd.
"Don't worry Anada," Shiroi said, "You won't get lost; I won't let you." Suddenly she felt something that wasn't right, and stopped in mid-step.
"Something wrong Shiroi?" Anada asked, the rest of their group stopping.
Shiroi looked around, her eyes darting in every direction possible and her senses tracing for any unusual energy that they could possibly pick up. She couldn't see anything, and her senses didn't pick up much energy from anything. "Maybe it's just me," she said. "I haven't been in such a huge crowd in a long time, so maybe my senses are just a little thrown off."
"Let's hope that's all it was," Shiziru said, letting her own spirit-sensing peek out. "I don't feel anything, how about you Botan?"
Botan shook he head, "Nothing out of the ordinary." She broke into her usual grin; "Well come on, let's not worry too much over it."
"Hope it's just nothing," Shiroi whispered as they started walking again.
***
They hadn't been in the mall very long, they had entered it the same time Yuseke and the guys had entered Koenma's office.
They had been through two stores and Keiko was leading them to another one when Shiroi's senses perked again.
"Maybe it isn't nothing," Anada said when Shiroi announced it to the group.
"Maybe it's something only Shiroi can sense," Shiziru suggested, "Her senses are more advanced than ours, and they're used to senses super low energy waves, some too low for normal senses to pick up."
Shiroi wasn't listening to what Shiziru said. The energy she has picked up this time had been stronger than the last time. She could tell that this energy was being masked somehow, and only her probes could break through the mask, even if it was momentarily. She let her aura senses come up and scanned the area they were in.
"Find anything Shiroi?" Botan asked.
Shiroi shook her head. "No, but I know there's something here."
"I just hope it's not a bad thing," Keiko said.
"It's not human," Shiroi, said, "That's all I can tell you."
"Of course it's not human."
All of them except Shiroi and Shiziru yelped and turned around to see Hiei standing there, and the rest of the guys weren't very far behind him.
"You guys being here means that there's a demon running around," Shiroi assumed. "Am I right?"
Hiei nodded as the rest of the guys arrived.
"Hiei," Yuseke gasped, "You are way to fast." He revealed his demon compass on his wrist. "Maybe this'll help locate that bug." He switched it on, and it automatically picked up Hiei and Kurama. He ignored that and waited for the compass to pick up something else.
"Don't forget Yuseke," Kurama said, "Koenma said that Blapsyic was nearly impossible to detect in his insect form."
"Blapsyic?" Shiziru asked.
"An insect like demon," Kurama answered. "Koenma just sent us after him, but he's nearly impossible to detect in his insect form."
"That's what you must be sensing Shiroi," Botan said. "It also answers why you aren't able to sense him normally."
Shiroi nodded, "That's right." Now she knew what she was looking for, and used a special sensing ability that could pick up anything that wasn't from the human world. She wasn't very skilled with it, since she hardly used to go to the human until now, so the skill was rusty.
Even with that sense, she couldn't pick him up. She shook her head, "Nothing. This is one elusive demon."
"Quite elusive," Kurama said as he strained his hearing, trying to pick up some slight beat of a wing or something that could be emitted from an insect.
"I can't believe some stupid bug demon can get passed your senses," Yuseke said. "I would have thought something like that would have been impossible."
"Well it just goes to show you that we having training to do," Shiroi said. "Right Kurama?"
The fox demon smiled and nodded, but then a crashing explosion came from another end of the mall. "There's Blapsyic."
"And of course he's made a grand entrance," Yuseke grumbled.
Kuwabara peeked around the corner, and then turned back around to face them, he face looking sick, "Anyone got a really big can of bug spray?"
"Less standing around and more movement," Shiroi said, "Let's go and exterminate that bug before it causes anymore damage."
"You're not," Hiei said suddenly.
"Why not?" Shiroi asked.
"Because you're on vacation," Hiei answered. He glanced at the rest of the guys; they nodded.
Shiroi groaned, "Fine. But if any of you start slipping up, I'm coming in."
"I don't like it," Hiei said, "but all right."

Author's Note: Ah man, just shy of hitting the ten page mark, oh well. Sorry this took so long to update, I've had the worst mind blank for everything that wasn't schoolwork. I hate finals, stupid school standards. Oh well, they're over and done with and I don't have to worry about them again until June. I hope I didn't miss any grammar mistakes this time, I read the chapter twice so if I'm missed any I must be going blind. Review me and tell me what you think, and sorry again for the wait.
