Fixed: April 7, 2013

Disclaimer: See Chapter One.

Added: I do not own nor make any profit having Sailor Moon mentioned in this fic. It is in there for fun...and for the fact the lady that made Sailor Moon is married to the creator of Yu Yu Hakusho >.> soooo yeah haha. I still don't own either.

Warnings: See Chapter One.

A/N: So, I not only fixed spelling mistakes and the 'you' that should have been 'she's. But I re-wrote a bit of the scene where you are confronted by Yusuke. I tried to make it more believable. I had gotten a review a while back that the 'you' character was too Mary Sue is. Now, my feelings on that is this.

I had started this back in 2003 so I started this right when “insert reader” fics were first starting out. That means I was an original before the genre turned into an overly done thing. I was hip before it became square :p or whatever haha.

I also hate the term Mary Sue. If you really think about it, most characters in animes are 'Mary Sues' or “Stews”. Any character that is over powered, liked by everyone, and is basically amazing is a Mary Sue/Stew. However, I wrote the 'you' character as if you really were in the anime. And admit it, if you were in the anime wouldn't you have powers? Wouldn't you try and get involved with the characters? Wouldn't you try and fight the biggest battles just cause it would be awesome to fight along side your favorite characters? And wouldn't you want them to like you?

Also, I'm trying to explain why they like you right away. If any of you ever done something with a friend that ended up being a 'bonding' experience? I have and sometimes it can take a night or just a few hours, it just depends on the situation. My point in being, Kurama had trusted Kuwabara very well because of the Saint Beast saga. Hiei really didn't bond with Kuwabara but he did with Yusuke. I tried to have you as the 'OC' I guess, to get that bonding in too. It wouldn't work if you didn't bond with the rest of the guys. I did have Yusuke hold off a bit, but still I figured after all he had seen and had been through with 'you', by now he would get close to you.

I'm sorry if I'm rambling but it really did bother me when someone thought I made the 'you' character seem Mary Sueish. I've been writing for too long and know how to write an OC..>.> I feel old now hahaha. But seriously, it does bother me. I come from a time (and I'm sure its still true) that having a character of yours be called a Mary Sue/stew was an insult so horrible that it was as if that person was spitting on your face. So I'm sorry if I'm ranting a bit before this chapter I re-fixed, but it really did affect me ^^;

Sorry again about that rant. I just wanted to express why I write (you) how I've been writing. Plus, I have many reasons of WHY you have powers ! I explain near the ending of this story of how and why and it will wrap everything up so nice and neatly that it will be satisfying when you hear it.

SO now without further ado, I hope you enjoy this fixed up revision.

Chapter 11: In Between Missions II: The Tape

Meanwhile�...

"Heh, heh. Awright, everything's set. Let the mayhem begin." says 'Kuwabara'

"My money's still on Urameshi. The final winners of course will be us!" says 'Yusuke'.

"After that, this town's our for the taking!" says 'Kuwabara'.

Behind them stand a platoon of half-breed demons in evil attire.

At the Abandon Hell Housing Development Site 3:30pm.

"You dare to show your face, Urameshi!" said a thug.

"Whactcha think?" asked a sweaty out of breath Kuwabara to a sweaty out of breath and frustrated Yusuke.

"Heh...I'm amazed we're still standing." Yusuke answered.

Off to the side, hiding in the shadows is the fake 'Kuwabara' and 'Yusuke' with their troops.

"You challenge us to a face off after those ambushes! Hope you're ready to die!" said a thug.

"Challenge you! You summoned us, dipstick!" shouted Yusuke.

"After beating up my posse and (YFN)!" shouted Kuwabara.

"What for? It's us you wanted!" shouted a pissed Yusuke.

"What the hell you babblin' about!" shouted a thug.

"Don't play dumb!" shouted a pissed Kuwabara.

"We ain't playing! We mean it! You're dead!" shouted a thug.

You finally reached the two, out of breath.

"It...wasn't...them..."

"(YFN)! Get out of here, before you get hurt worse!" shouted Kuwabara.

"No! I came to keep you two out of trouble! The real dipsticks that did this to the guys and me are somewhere close by...I can sense them. I just have to focus!" you said.

You closed your eyes, trying to zoom in on the guys, but it was so noisy that you couldn't focus.

'Come on (YFN)! Focus!' you told your self.

All the thugs started to run towards where you and the guys were.

"I don't think I'm ready for this." said Kuwabara, now standing in front of you, protectively, which you didn't notice since you were trying to focus.

"Me neither! Ready or not, though, here we go!" said Yusuke, both boys ready to fight, while you tried to focus.

"It's started! What a show!" shouted 'Kuwabara'.

"Heh heh! Deelightful." said 'Yusuke'.

"Hold it right there!" came a familiar voice, which caused you to break your concentration and look.

A rose was thrown in front of the thugs, causing them to stop...some falling over with BIG ANIME STYLE falls. You giggled at the site of people falling with feet in the air before looked to see who threw it. Off to the side stood Kurama!

"Kurama!" shouted a surprised Yusuke.

"What!" said one thug.

"Who's this punk!" asked another.

"Just call me Tuxedo mask." said Kurama with a wink.

You blinked at the red head. You couldn't believe he just made a reference to Sailor Moon's only male lead. You couldn't help but chuckled. It kinda fit.

"Starting early, gentlemen? Tsk...such impatience. It almost led you to beat up the wrong guys. The ones you want are over there!" said Kurama, pointing into the shadows.

There were the two 'fakes' that had beaten you and the guys up.

"Those are the guys!" you shouted, pointing at them.

"They beat me and the guys up!"

"My my, looks like we's busted. Oh well..."said 'Kuwabara'.

"The masquerade's run its course anyway. We've now got the man power to crush all of you!" shouted 'Yusuke'.

"So you're the one's who did the ambushing?" asked a thug.

"And fooled us into blaming Urameshi?" asked another.

"And beat up (YFN) and my posse?" asked Kuwabara, clenching his fists.

"You got it morons!" shouted 'Kuwabara'.

"Not that it matters! You're surrounded! Forward, fellow half-breeds!" shouted 'Yusuke'.

Nothing happened.

They turn around and look.

There was a pile of people all knocked out and standing next to the huge pile was Hiei.

"You looking for these guys? Sorry. I thought I was just cleaning up some trash." said Hiei.

"Kn-know what I think...?" asked a very scared 'Yusuke'.

"Oh yeah...we're screwed!" said an even more scared 'Kuwabara'.

In a matter of moments, the fakes were surrounded by the thugs, who moments ago were going to beat up the real Yusuke and Kuwabara.

"Punks..."said one thug.

"Get ready.."

"...To pay--big time!" finished another thug.

"EEEEYAAH!" screamed 'Kuwabara'.

"Stay back. Or we'll---"said 'Yusuke'.

You closed your eyes, knowing it wouldn't be pretty. When you opened them, the fakes were so badly beaten up no one could tell who they looked like.

"That was close. Thanks Hiei." said Yusuke.

"I can't believe I had to step in at all. No matter what shape you're in, you can't go losing to a couple of weenies like that. I lost to you--even if by a fluke--so that would hardly reflect on me. You guys need to toughen up! That includes you (YFN)." said Hiei, looking at you.

"Haha...that's a fact. I owe you for two now." said Yusuke, scratching the back of his head.

"Hey! They snuck up behind me and they weren't playing fair!" you said, glaring and pouting.

"Who'd even mistake that pug-ugly for me!" shouted Kuwabara.

You gave a wide grin.

"Don't even start (YFN)!" glared Kuwabara.

"What?" you asked all too innocently, still smiling.

"Don't play innocent! I know you're gonna say something! I'm in no mood for your 'jokes'!"

You pouted

"You're no fun."

He rolls his eyes at you.

Yusuke chuckled at your antics, before turning to Hiei, sticking out his hand.

"Happy to have you at my back, Hiei. Put'er there!"

The three of you watched to see if Hiei would shake Yusuke's hand; the three being Kuwabara, Kurama, and you.

Hiei out stretched his hand towards Yusuke's and...

Yusuke blinked and looks at the tape that is now in his hand.

"A video tape? Of what?" asked a dumbfounded Yusuke.

"Your next assignment from spirit world." stated Hiei.

Yusuke did an anime fall as Hiei started to walk away.

"Consider your self served. I'm off." and with that Hiei was gone.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

It's now two day after the incident. You had healed up very well, even in the short amount of time. You didn't tell Kuwabara about the shield you made, since you were still trying to figure out how you made it. You didn't tell him about you being able to read minds, either, since he might freak out over it. ((A/N: The 'two days later' was the weekend, so now it's Monday)).

You were with Kuwabara in his class. School officially didn't start yet, so you decided to hang out with him before the last bell.

"Hey Kuwabara! (YFN)! Could I watch this at your place? My VCR's broken." said Yusuke, holding up the videotape.

He didn’t have the same class as Kuwabara did, so it was a bit of a surprise to see him walking in. Some of the classmates scooted away, still scared of him.

Kuwabara stood straight up out of his chair, almost knocking it over.

"Huh? Hey, that's it isn't it?! The thing Hiei gave you! That'll dump us all into another Demonic mess!!" said Kuwabara, a little worried.

"Not too keen to see it myself, but I gotta..." Yusuke started but was interrupted by Keiko.

"Hey, what's that? A video? You can't bring those to school!" she said.

"Yeah? Like I give a hag!" said Yusuke.

There was a awkward piece of silence.

"Well...what's on it? Terminator Two, maybe? Huh?" she asked.

"That's so 90's...why would anyone see that old move when they can see Terminator Three." you suggested.

They all look at you as if you're nuts.

"Terminator Three?! When did that come out?! They just released Terminator Two on video!!" said Yusuke.

"Are you feeling alright (YFN)?�” asked Kuwabara, feeling your head to see if you have a temperature or something.

"I'm fine." you said, and removing Kuwabara's hand. "I guess I'm mistaken....that's all...really I'm fine."

Everyone continued to look at you.

'Shit! I can't believe I forgot the show was made in 1991!! Of course Terminator Two would have just come out on video! I'm such a moron!" you thought.

Yusuke gave you one last look before he turned his attention back to Keiko. He remembered the recent conversation he had with his girl that was a friend.

{*~Flashback~ *)

Keiko is standing with her finger out.

"Promise me, Yusuke, that...whenever possible, I'll be the first to know!!"

(*~end Flashback~*}.

As Yusuke was having his flashback, you were sent his mind waves and blanked out, seeming to stare out into space if anyone were looking at you. Unfortunately for you, Kuwabara was the one looking at you and noticed the distant look.

Kuwabara waved his hand in front of your face.

"You who! (YFN)? Earth to (YFN)?! You okay?" asked Kuwabara.

You shook your head and looked at him.

"Huh...oh yeah, I'm fine." you said.

Kuwabara gave you a look of doubt, but decided not to bother. He figured that you had something on your mind and if it was so important to the point where you ‘zoned out�' then he shouldn’t disturb you.

"It's my next Spirit World assignment. I haven't watched it yet, though. Honest." said Yusuke.

"Spirit World, what's that?" asked a confused Keiko.

Yusuke did an anime fall, bringing down a chair with him and dropping the tape. Yusuke looked up at Keiko from his sitting position on the floor.

"I...thought...Botan told you all about it!" said a sweat dropping and very confused Yusuke.

"Right. She said you're working for a private detective. Oh I see. 'Spirit World' is the name of his agency!" said Keiko pointing her finger in the air.

Yusuke, somehow while still on the ground, did another anime fall and had his shoe fly off. You sweat dropped along with Kuwabara.

'Master of deception.' you thought, thinking about Botan.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Later at Kuwabara's House...

"Hey Botan!! What's all this garbage?!" shouted a pissed Yusuke. "And I quote: 'Yusuke's decided to get serious about his career options, so he's taken a job as a detectives assistant. He was investigating a drug ring when a deserter took refuge in the school. The ringleader sent an assassin trained in hypnotism, and he hypnotized the teachers to act like a movie zombie mob as a distraction while he dealt with the deserter. The teachers, left unguided, got a little out of hand until the hypnosis effect wore off!" shouted Yusuke, doing a good imitation of Botan.

"Now, now." said Botan "...I was trying to explain stuff to Keiko without giving too much away. This is the 'explanation' I managed to cook up and she seemed to buy it. Not bad eh?" she said.

"For lame improve comedy, maybe..." you said with a sweat drop.

Botan continued.

"As you know, we must be discreet! The fact about your job is too secret." Her face turned into a cat face as she added. "It's too dangerous for Keiko to know of the Spirit World."

"Hmmm...can't argue that." said Yusuke, sweat dropping.

'That's quite a distracting cat face.' you thought, sweat dropping your self.

Kuwabara had already put the video in and turned to the rest of you.

"Hey, how 'bout we watch this thing?" he asked. "I'm achin' to know what's on it.

"Why? It has nothing to do with you this time." said Yuskue.

"Well...the last mission didn't have anything to do with us, but we still came along." you replied.

"That’s right Urameshi, so just shut up and let’s watch this thing." said Kuwabara as he pushed the play button.

Yusuke grumbled under his breath, but didn’t respond. He did make a face while Kuwabara’s back was turned. Kuwabara sat back on the ground and scooted over to where you and Yusuke sat by the couch.

The video started, Koenma on the screen.

"My dad's off being a big deal again, so I'm back as director of Spirit World Investigations. This recording concerns your new mission!�” Koenma said.

"You're kidding! This is your boss?! Another snotty shrimp boat?!" said an astonished Kuwabara.

"My feelings exactly." said Yusuke.

Koenma continued to talk.

“It will appear only as noise to normal humans, so don't worry about eavesdroppers."

"Yay!! I'm no normal human!!" you said, throwing your arms up in the air.

"That's for sure." Yuskue mumbled.

You narrowed your eyes at him, jokingly of course.

"Hey! Pay attention!" shouted the Koenma on the screen.

You all turn your attention back to the screen.

"Your mission this time...is simplicity itself: a rescue!"

You glanced over at Kuwabara, who doesn't seem to be interested.

'He will soon...' you thought sadly.

"The rescuee: a non-human girl. That's not to say she's entirely in-human, but anyway...she's being held in a mansion in Bone Ulcer Village, a very desolate place. This much we've learned from reliable Spirit World messenger birds. She's an ice maiden, belonging to the demonic family of winter spirits. They are noted for beautiful jewels they produce...she's been taken by a heartless human who is forcing her to produce those jewels...she does so through...her tears." said Koenma.

"They must be pure rare crystals! Worth hundred of millions on the black market!" said Botan.

"So this dude is making her cry to get these jewels?" asked Kuwabara, not being able to believe someone could be that cruel or evil.

"Yes. The perpetrator is a human gem dealer named Gonzo Tarukane." a picture of the guy appeared on the screen. "He's always earned his living by unscrupulous means, but the ice maiden's jewels have made him enormously rich and powerful." said Koenma.

"Yeesh! He sure looks like a sleeze!" said Kuwabara, dropping some chips he was eating.

"Worse than any demon!" added Yusuke, stuffing his face with chips from the bag Kuwabara was holding.

Botan was eating some too.

"Where did you get the chips?" you asked.

"I found them next to the table." said Kuwabara, getting more chips.

"Oh...well, let me have some!" you said reaching for the bag.

"Sure." Kuwabara said, leaning it towards you.

"Thanks." you said, grabbing a hand full of chips and eating them.

Koenma continued.

"And this is an image of the girl...telepathically relayed by the birds." Yukina appeared on the screen, surrounded by the talismans.

Kuwabara looked at her in awe, some chips still stuck to his face.

'Here we go.' you thought, not even turning around to see him.

“She's confined to a room at Tarukane's summer mansion. The barrier of talismans must keep her restrained." Koenma said.

Kuwabara stood straight up, scaring Yusuke, who was holding the bag of chips.

Kuwabara started to quiver and looked away.

"I'm in love..." he mumbled.

"Huh?" said a confused Yusuke as he paused the tape.

"Let's go to that village!" Kuwabara said.

"What? Now?" asked a still confused Yusuke.

"Of course now!!" said Kuwabara, walking towards the door.

"But we haven't even finish the video." said Yuskue, not understanding what got to Kuwabara.

"What more do we need to know? She’s suffering! And we know why! Hustle yer butt or I'll go without you!!" growled Kuwabara.

Shizuru opened the door and walked into the room with some tea.

"Shizuru, lend me enough to get me to Bone Ulcer!" said a very determined Kuwabara.

"Honetadare Village? That's way in the next prefecture." said Shizuru with her eyebrow raised.

Yusuke and Botan sweat dropped at his, while you lowered your head, not wanting to look at him. Kuwabara gave his sister a quick ‘thanks�' and ran out the door of his room, down the stairs, and slammed the door behind him as he left.

"What's got him fired up? My idiot brother's on another tear. You guys taking off too?" asked Shizuru looking out of the still open door to her little brother’s room.

"I'm staying for tea!" said Botan, all happy.

This caused you and Yusuke to give her a funny look and sweat drop.

"What is going on?" asked a confused Yusuke.

Botan took a sip of her tea, which Shizuru just gave her.

"Mmm...spring time for Kuwabara!" she giggled.

As you watched Botan sip her tea, your eyes widened, a thought occurring to you.

"Wait? You're not coming with us?" you asked Botan.

You had remembered Botan had gone with the guys. She was caught by one of the three demons there.

"Why would I? You're going aren't you?" asked Botan.

You nodded.

"Well, then the guys don't need me since you'll be there to help them." she said, taking another sip of her tea.

'Shit! I keep messing this series up! Although, I’ll get to help the guys fight." you thought, a grin passing your lips.

This earned you a weird look from Yusuke and Botan.

"What are you smiling about?" asked a worried Yusuke.

"I get to fight!" you said with an excited smile.

Yusuke and Botan do an anime fall, and give you another weird look. Shizuru just snickered and snorted a soft laugh.

Koenma was still on the screen.

"One more thing, Yusuke, and this is important..."

"I'll say..." you whispered however, not realizing it was loud enough for Yusuke to hear.

He narrowed his eyes at you for a moment before turning his attention back at the screen.

"As it involves a personal debt you owe." Koenma continues.

"The girl's name is Yukina...and she is Hiei's sister. With that, I wish you good luck." the screen went black.

Yuskue and Botan started at the screen, while Shizuru raised her eyebrow.

You didn't realize that you mouthed what Koenma was saying and that the rest of the group had noticed this. You looked around and found them all staring at you.

"What?" you asked blinking at them.

"How did you know that Hiei and Yukina were related? I didn't even know until just now." Yusuke said, staring at you, suspiciously.

'Shit...how am I going to get my self out of this mess...' You think.

"Well...Yukina kind of...reminds me of someone. Then when Koenma mentioned a debt I remembered that you owed Hiei something...and his image was in my mind and I realized they were related." You said praying to Kami that Yusuke bought it.

Kami was the wrong god to pray to, because Yusuke crossed his arms across his chest and looked dead serious at you. He was obviously not buying it.

'Shit...' you thought as you sweat drop.

'I need to take some more acting classes!'

"Ok, what's going on (YFN)! I've had a feeling since I saw you, while I was dead, that you were pulling all our chains! What the Hell is going on!"

You found yourself surrounded. Shizuru was standing behind you, Botan sitting at your side, and Yusuke was now standing above you waiting for an explanation.

'Well I should say something....' You thought.

You took in a deep breath and began to talk.

“Okay....I remember who I am and where I came from....” you started before pausing for a bit to see how everyone was reacting to it.

“How does that explain how you know about Hiei and Yukina being siblings?” Yusuke asked, folding his hands over his chest.

You let out a sigh.

“When my memory came back I remembered EVERYTHING. That included my...well...powers....” you said looking away.

“What kind of 'powers'?” Yusuke asked with narrowed eyes.

Yusuke thought you were a weird one. He also thought that you were hiding something for as long as he had known you. However, through the adventures that he had shared with you; only really having the Four Saint Beast, he had gotten fond of you. Not to mention his time watching over you and Kuwabara, he got to like you that way as well. He saw how you truly cared about his now best friend; Kuwabara. And even found you quite charming at times.

However, the fact that you were hiding something had bothered him for so long. And even though he found you to be as close as almost family, well, he couldn't get close to you without hearing the whole truth about you.

“Well...I haven't gotten them ALL back yet...but I remember my fighting skills, my six sense has come back completely, and I recently can....well....read minds...” you said looking away.

'Holy shit...' thought Yusuke.

You smiled after hearing his swearing in his head.

“Nothing holy about it Yusuke.” you said with a smirk.

Yusuke blinked at you.

“And yes I just read your mind...and again...and again...” you said after hearing each thought coming from Yusuke's head.

“Oh oh do me!” Botan said clapping her hands and closing her eyes, concentrating on what she was thinking.

You scratched the back of your head. It seemed the mind reading abilities just did what they wanted.

“I can't read yours for some reason...tho it only comes in spurts.” you said with an apologetic smile.

Botan pouted.

“But I also remember, barely, how I got here. There was a flash of light and I was falling...and then I was standing there in my pjs, my blanket, and my plushie.” you said with a shrug.

“So you don't remember WHERE you were before you just 'appeared' here?” Yusuke asked with a raised eye brow.

“That's just it,” you said, “I was home watching TV.” you said, actually throwing in some truth.

“It was night time and I had just gotten done work...” you said, getting a few weird looks.

“I work at a grocery store and it was the weekend.” you added, tho still getting the looks.

“I'm from America?” you said thinking maybe it would make sense.

You didn't want to tell them your age because then you would feel like a pedo as you were in love with a fourteen year old and you were going to turn 20. You didn't want to think about tho and hoped you wouldn't age while you were in their world.

“Ohh.” Yusuke and Botan said, realizing that you were an American and had different ways then they did.

“But wait....how can you understand us and we understand you.” Yusuke asked.

“I do not know that one...” you said with a shrug.

“I guess that flash of light did something to me...”

“I should report this to Koenma.” Botan said, standing up.

She put her tea on the table and was getting ready to pull out her oar and fly to Spirit World.

“Why?” Yusuke asked.

“We need to figure out where (YFN)-chan came from so we can see what is going on.”

“Like I said...why?” Yusuke said.

“Because something like this happens only once in 10000 years! And it usually happens to humans going into the demon world. I've never heard of a human from a different country falling into another and being able to speak there language! She could be from a different dimension or even the future!” Botan said, worry in her face.

“So what?”

You all turned to look at Shizuru. This was the first time she had spoken since the whole conversation started. She was smoking on a cancer stick (as you would call them), and looked serious, as she usually did.

“I say its destiny. There is a reason she is here so let it play out.” Shizuru said with another puff.

Botan thought about it for a moment. She had found you as a close friend. She didn’t want to see you go if Koenma said you should; in case it could cause serious complications. However she knew that if she didn’t let Koenma know; he would find out another way and probably be pissed.

“I'll at least inform him of what has happened. Besides, if he found out....” she started before picturing a horrific scene of being 'punished'.

She shivered before pulling out her oar.

“Hopefully he is so full of paper work that he won't be able to figure it out til a very long time.” Botan said before looking at you and giving you a wink.

“Well, good luck!” she said before flying off.

Yusuke hadn't stopped looking at you the entire time. You felt a little un-easy at his stares.

“What?”

“So are you going to tell Kuwabara?” he asked.

You blinked at him before shaking your head.

“I can't...if I...if I tell him I remember he'll kick me out...” you said with a sad face.

“I'd kill him if he even thought about that.” Shizuru said, taking another puff on her stick.

Shizuru wasn't home much but she could tell that you living there with her and her brother had made him happy. Ever since their mom died, Kuwabara had always be the type to 'act out'. Get into fights, get bad grades, ect. After you moved in, Shizuru noticed him to be more calm and happy. She didn't want him to go back to how he was before he met you.

“Speak of dumbass...” she said looking towards the window.

“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS WAITIN' FER?” came a yell from outside.

Yusuke stuck his head out the window where a very impatient Kuwabara was standing.

“WE GOT A DAMISEL TO SAVE!” he shouted.

“GEEZE YOU COULD HAVE LEFT WITHOUT US, IDIOT!”

“WHATEVER, JUST GET YER ASSES DOWN HERE SO WE CAN GO!” Kuwabara yelled back up at Yusuke.

Yusuke put his head back into the room and turned to look at you.

“You have to tell him eventually, ya know.” Yusuke said before giving you a smile.

You smiled at him softly.

“Yeah...I know.”

“HURRY UP!” shouted Kuwabara.

“COMING!” you shouted before heading out the door with Yusuke.

Shizuru watched the two of you leave with a small smirk on her lips.

"Finally!" Kuwabara growled when the two of you finally were outside. “Took you long enough.”

“Well, we had to finish the tape.” you said giving Kuwabara a shrug.

“Well, we gotta hurry up before we miss the train.” Kuwabara said before turning around and heading towards the train station.

Yusuke was about to follow behind but you grabbed his arm. He turned and looked into your pleading eyes.

"Please don't tell him...I promise I will...but when I'm ready..." you said.

Yusuke looked at you for a few minutes before smiling.

"No problem, (YFN)." Yusuke said.

You both give Kuwabara a glare as he told you to stop flirting with each other before running off after him.

Meanwhile at Tarukane's Estate.

A car pulled up and two men entered the estate. One was tall with sunglasses. The other was sitting on the tall one's shoulder and looking evil. They were following a short bald ugly guy who was smoking a cigar. They came to a long hallway where a butler was and who bowed.

"We've been waiting for you, sir." said the butler.

"How's Yukina? Has she shed any tears?" asked Mr. Tarukane, the short fat ugly dude.

"Not recently. Her emotions...have rather flattened out of late." replied the butler.

"Hmph. Silly freak. She's become indifferent to my needs. I've brought specialists to help rekindle her interests." said Mr. Tarukane.

The butler looked at the two men behind his boss.

"And they are..." asked the butler.

The smaller guy on the bigger one's shoulder gave an evil grin.

"The Toguro brothers...Brokers of Darkness!" said Mr. Tarukane.

The butler’s eyes widen and sweat appears on his forehead.

"Brokers of Darkness?! Good golly miss Molly! Demons in the business of providing monsters!!" the butler said.

"For everything from sideshows to assault forces. They know how to deal with freaks." said Mr. Tarukane.

"Set a thief to catch a thief, they say...leave it to us." said Younger Toguro.

Somewhere else in the estate.

In a room covered with what looks like pieces of paper, was Yukina. She was by a huge window that was covered with talismans and had bars on the window. There were many birds around her and out side the window on the ledge.

"I envy you." Yukina said, speaking to the birds. "You can fly from here." several birds landed on her, which made her laugh light heartily. "As for me..." she reached her right hand forwards towards the talismans.

When her hand was only a few inches from the window, sparks formed and she moved her hand back, still close to the window.

"I am trapped...by subtle but effective restraints." she said.

Yukina heard someone coming down the hall. She tensed and began to shoo the birds away.

"Go!"

The birds all flew off, a sad ice demon looking at their escape. She turned towards a chair and sat down, away from the window. Yukina started to call on her ice powers, making the room cold enough that one would need a heavy winter jacket.

Tarukane and the Toguro brothers reached the door, which had a huge cold breeze coming from under and out of cracks.

"Hm? Heh...the freak knows we're here. This blast of cold air is a warning, like a rattlesnake sounding off. Won't do her any good, though. Within this cage, she has no bite." Tarukane said, opening the door.

They entered to find an emotionless Yukina, staring coldly into space.

"There she is...as expressive as a glacier..." said Tarukane.

Younger Toguro walked up to her. With one quick movement of his hand, he left a thin line on her left cheek. A thin line of blood dribbled down her cheek, yet Yukina didn't even flinch.

"That won't work. For five years now, she’s resisted all physical coercion. She won't cry, scream, or twitch an eyebrow anymore!" Mr. Tarukane said.

Yukina looked over to the window where the sound of chirping birds caught her attention. Her eyes widened as she saw two birds flying back. She stood up and ran to the window.

"Stay away!!" she yelled to save her only 'friends' lives.

Younger Toguro glanced at his elder brother, who sat on his shoulder.

"Go."

In a blink of an eye, the shorter man reached his hand forward, and using his fingers like ‘tentacles�' stretched them out the window and grabbed the two birds. The evil man retracted his fingers to where they were a foot out in front of him, the poor birds chirping from freight and pain.

Yukina lunged towards the two brothers.

"Don't hurt them!!" she shouted, fear in her eyes.

"Hold her!" said Tarukane, to two of his men, who were behind him.

They grabbed her.

"So these little friends of your help you through your lonely days....eh, little girl?" asked Younger Toguro.

His brother started to squeeze the two chirping birds. Blood started to come out of their mouths.

“No...please!!" shouted Yukina. "....please...no more..." tears fell from her eyes and on to the ground.

Instead of five drops of salty water splashing onto the ground, five beautiful round jewels took their place, landing with a clank.

“Ooh!!" shouted Tarukane, falling to the ground and quickly gathering the jewels, as if they were candy just knocked out of a piñata.

"Ho ho ho! There they are! You did it! Hee hee hee! I'm rich! Hee hee hee! These would get me another billion, easy!" he said, staring at the beautiful jewels in his hands.

He stood up and with his greedy hand lifted Yukina's face.

"So sad...about a couple of birds, eh? How pathetic!" he let her face go and started walking towards the door.

His two servants followed suit, letting Yukina fall to her knees. Yukina hung her head as soft sobs escape her lips.

"Starting tomorrow, you will dine exclusively on roast robin! Time for an auction! Round up the bidders!!" said Tarukane as he left.

Older Toguro dropped the dead birds in front of Yukina.

"My advice little girl? Forget being stubborn and learn to cry on demand. You'll be free then--free from my brother and me, at least." said Younger Toguro.

The two leave her, closing the door behind them.

Yukina covered her face, crying, while birds gathered around her.
