~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The next morning, the Reikai Tantai awoke to the feeling of sticks being rammed up their...*cough* well let's just say that it wasn't a very pleasant feeling to feel first thing in the morning.
"Get up," a gruff, feminine voice ordered them. Groaning they did so, feeling the kinks work in and out of their muscles. Before any of the boys could protest or even register in their early morning haze, shackles were placed around their ankles and wrists. Once the shackles were in place, a rough pull that had them almost falling down got them to move. The next things the boys knew, was that they were being led to a part of the town that is far from the forested area where they were found the day before. The thing that surprised them the most was that this was the way that Keiko had been led down the day before. Abruptly stopping, they noticed that they were in front of a building made of white marble. There were no doors to keep anything in... Or out. The only covering that could be seen were the, what looked like silk, colorful drapes that swayed gently in the wind beckoning them to come closer.
A light blow to the head, told them to keep their heads down and to refrain from looking anywhere else but at their feet. They were led, heads down, to a room that had the pleasant smell of flowers drifting through it. Soft whispers surrounded them; the words were lost on the breeze. Silence slowly fell over the room as they came in further only to be broken by a soft, feminine gasp.
“Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, Hiei? Are you guys alright?” At the call of each of their names, the boys’ heads shot up and looked forward in disbelief.
“Keiko?!” Yusuke’s confused shout rang throughout the hall. A moment later, hard objects came flying at the overly loud boy leaving Yusuke lying on the floor, dazed. Hiei looked down at Yusuke and began to snicker, Kuwabara just shook his head and Kurama looked at Keiko a thoughtful look planted on his face.
“Keiko, what is going on? Are you the one we are supposed to see? I don’t understand, we all thought that you were in danger.” Kurama looked to Keiko, a look of hurt confusion held in his eyes. Keiko for all she was worth blinked as she thought of a way to explain this whole situation.
“DO NOT ADDRESS THE QUEEN SO FAMILIARLY, YOU MALE!!” A loud voice rang across the uncomfortably quiet room followed by a series of reactions. Keiko looked embarrassed, the boys looked surprised, and the women put their right hands over their hearts and slightly bowed to Keiko and to the direction of the mysterious voice. There stood the older woman from the day before, glaring at the boys.
The surprise of the announcement began to wear off. Yusuke looked like he needed to kill or mangle or maim something, which in essence would make him feel a whole lot better to say the least. Kuwabara and Hiei had frowns upon their faces, though if anyone told them this they would object profusely before giving one another their usual insults. Kurama was looking at Keiko intently, wondering how none of them knew about her status. And Youko was supplying Kurama a look into how he felt about things as they were.
*They’re just jealous of me.*
‘Youko, what would they be jealous of. You’re a demon trapped inside a human body. What’s there to be jealous of?’
*Everything. They just wish they could be me.*
‘Right Youko. If that is the way you wish to see things, I have no problem in allowing you to delude yourself.’
*And they’re jealous. Theirs isn’t as big as mine is. Close to yours though. But definitely not like mine.*
‘Do I dare ask what you are talking about?’
*What else? My pen-*
‘Thank you very much for allowing me into that little area of what I believe women like to call “An overload of testosterone to the brain”. And in any event, their women Youko.’
*Listen you prude, if you ever even tried to think the way I do, we would have been laid over a thousand times already. And I realize their gender you ass, They're just jealous.*
‘Please Youko; stop acting like a child already. I don’t want to sleep with any of those girls who continually throw themselves at us. Who know what they could have! And in any event since they are girls, it means that we have something that they do not. Dddddddddoooooo yyyyyoooooooouuuuu uunnnnddeeeerrrrsssssstttaaaannndddd mmmmmeeeeee?’
*Perfectly well, though it would seem you have a speech impediment and I will just have to teach you how to talk correctly. And about those girls that continuously throw themselves at us, well what about the one sitting in front of us?*
‘I do not have a speech impediment. And what girl? You mean Keiko? Youko we can’t, she’s Yusuke’s remember? It wouldn’t be rig-‘
*It would seem that I have already fixed that speech problem of yours! Aren't I amazing? And don’t tell me about something being right or wrong. And what makes you think that she is going to stay with the detective? He forgot their date remember? How long do you think that she is going to put up with that nonsense? If anything, this will open up new opportunities for another to move into her heart. What could possibly go wrong?*
‘Yusuke’s shot gun for one thing.’
*Technicalities.*
‘Really? You do realize that he’d try to kill anyone who would put their hands on Keiko. And from the look he has it won’t take much. Putting relationships aside. What do you think about Keiko being these women’s queen? From the looks of it, this part is not known, if the reactions from everyone else are interpreted correctly.’
*Hmm, that is a good question. One that should be asked and answered rather soon. Now pay attention, they’re starting up again.*
With that, both aspects focused their attention to the situation at hand. Unbeknownst to them, another party was listening in to their conversation to which one thing in particular had caught his attention.
~So they believe that Keiko will no longer be with the detective after all of this? This could get interesting.~ Hiei smirked darkly to himself.
Keiko looked around. She saw the looks the boys had on their faces. The looks of her “loyal subjects”. And thought of the best possible way to explain to the boys what exactly was going on here. Waiting a few minutes, she finally decided on a course of action and cleared her throat. The noise brought everyone’s attention on her and so she spoke.
“I wish to speak with these males *she sent an apologetic look to the boys* in private. I wish to explain what sort of situation has arisen since you found us yesterday.” To this, the women began to argue back and forth.
“Nay, highness. You should not be alone with such lowly beasts. You should have a few of us in there with you to protect you from such base creatures.” But the look that Keiko sent everyone in the room left nothing open for discussion. Quietly and seemingly abashed, the women bowed and allowed their queen to have her say.
Quietly, Keiko rose up from her seat and motioned for the boys to follow her. The walk to another room, felt as if a thousand years were pressing onto them relentlessly. Time slowed down as they finally reached a room. Upon entering, Yusuke could no longer keep his ire to himself.
“Keiko what the hell is going on around here? Since when are you royalty? I’ve known you since like forever and this has never come up.” He was seething and the others deemed that now was the right time to back away from him slowly.
“Yusuke, if you’ll calm down, I’ll explain everything to the best of my ability.” Keiko made a motion to calm him down, but that only seemed to make him angrier.
“Keiko, dammit. I have the right to know what is going on. Now tell me what the fuck is going on!”
“Yusuke! You jerk! I was getting to that already!” Keiko was now becoming angry at the fact that Yusuke still had not let her begin her answering the questions that they no doubt had.
“Well then hurry up so we can figure out how to get away from this creepy place.” Keiko walked right up to him and looked him in the eye. Her eye at this point was twitching as she kept his gaze trapped in her own. Raising her hand, she slapped him hard almost knocking him to the ground. The others looked on in awe as she seemed to erupt in flames, glaring down at the still angry, yet rightfully cowering toushin.
“Now may I start?” Keiko glared down at Yusuke who nodded sullenly.
“Alright, sit down.” She waited for the boys to sit and then began to explain.
“As of right now, we are not in Tokyo any more. I really am not sure where we really are. What I do know is that we are in a village of women –“
“Duh, Keiko. We already know that.” Keiko looked hard at Yusuke. Yusuke put his hands up in a placating gesture.
“Don’t interrupt again Yusuke. Now as I was saying. We are in a village of women *Yusuke makes a face and Keiko glares at him* that reminds me of an Amazon tribe. In other words, everything is done by women. Even the legends are written by women. I am not exactly sure how they figure these things out but as I understand it, there is one legend in particular that is extremely well known even to this day.” Keiko took a moment to think of how to go on, when Kurama voiced a question that had been plaguing him.
“Keiko, may I ask why they believe you to be their queen?”
“Well, Kurama, that’s because of this legend. According to this legend: a woman surrounded by a group of men is to fall from a great sky portal, or hole as they called it. This woman is to lead them to great strength and power. That’s about all I know about this legend. I’m planning on asking some of the older women here for more information. Um, any questions?” Keiko looked about, unsure of what else to say.
“Yeah, what the hell are you wearing?” Yusuke looked at Keiko, envy in his eyes. “I mean, here we are practically naked and you are sitting there covered from head to toe.”
Keiko looked at Yusuke and rolled her eyes.
“Honestly Yusuke. I understand that you are uncomfortable, maybe I can find something else for you?”
“Don’t worry about that Keiko. For now it would probably be best if we stayed as is. Now the next question is, what should we do for a plan of action in order to get out of here?” Kurama looked at Keiko intensely. Keiko, on the other hand, began to fidget in her seat.
“I’m not sure. What we should do. Sometime soon I should be shown around the town and maybe there will be some sort of weakness in their defenses. Other than that, everything that I have seen has been very, VERY closely guarded.”
“Okay then, in the off chance that there is a weakness how are you going to let any of us know?”
“We could meet in here when I find anything out. Other than that, I have no idea.” Keiko frowned in thoughtful concentration before looking at Kurama.
“Wait a minute here, you want us to sit in a prison and do nothing but twiddle our thumbs all day long waiting for you to find out information that may or may not get us killed? And then once you did find out said information you’ll just call on us and give a quickie on what you found kind of like what you gave us when you told us about that stupid legend? Why does this sound like you are casually just putting us aside and not letting us do a thing about it?” Yusuke looked over at Keiko glaring and shaking, trying to hold onto his anger as best as he could. Keiko looked at him shocked. Never had she seen him so angry, but in the face of it all, she too began to allow her anger get the best of her.
“Yusuke no usobaka! Doaho, listen up. That’s all I can think of because that’s all I know that I’m allowed for now. As for the ‘quickie’ on that ‘stupid legend’ as you put it, I’m only telling you what was told to me so don’t you DARE start getting angry with me because I don’t know what is totally going on myself. We have been here one day, ONE DAY, understand Yusuke. For me to find out what is going on and why this is all happening, it will take me longer than one measly day. So I would suggest you SHUT UP unless you have something to add, you friggen asshole!” Keiko looked at Yusuke with murder in her eyes. A look that sent a shudder down Hiei’s and Kurama’s spines. Feeling unsure about Keiko and her mood at that particular moment, Yusuke quietly backed down from the fight. Keiko closed her eyes and started to take deep breaths in order to calm herself.
Kuwabara on the other hand looked at Keiko in pure shock. Never in his life would he have imagined that Keiko would ever talk like that to Yusuke. Sure there were times that Yusuke pissed Keiko off, but the way she had single-handedly got Yusuke to back off was always a bit disconcerting. But there was also the fact that she didn't have to slap him. Kuwabara looked at Kurama and Hiei and wasn't too surprised to see that they were fazing out as usual, maybe to talk to each other. That was strange indeed. Slowly, he concentrated on the energies in the room and winced on all levels of his being. Yusuke was definitely wise enough to back off when he did. The sheer amount of anger Keiko was radiating was enormous and very unstable. If Yusuke had pushed a bit more, Kuwabara highly doubted that Koenma would bring him back from the dead... again.
'You know, I never have seen Keiko so angry with Yusuke. Quite frankly, I have never seen her with a look like that on her face. IF she were a demon, I'd be fearing for my life right about now. Somehow I don't think it would be wise to allow Yusuke to be near her after this. I think it may be hazardous to his health.'
~I wonder what the baka is wincing about. For that matter, why is Yusuke backing off from his woman like that? He's never backed off from a fight before, he's always run head first into it.~
'Those are good questions, maybe he is thinking that his dear Yukina and how she must be terribly lonely without her Kazuma-san. Yusuke though, I have no idea.'
~Very funny fox. I highly doubt that is going through his mind. But there is still the problem with Yusuke.~
*You're both stupid. You have absolutely no idea what is making him wince and you call yourselves fighters. Shame on both of you. And before you get all pissy with me I suggest that you clear your minds and sense the energies in this room. Then you will have your answers.*
~You know, I hate it when he does that.~
'It is a bit disconcerting, isn't it? But we may as well give his advice a try.'
Both concentrated on the surrounding energies and winced. Keiko's angry energy was literally blocking out the energies of the everything surrounding them.
'Well I guess that answers that. How do we get her to calm down? Especially if we felt that, I'm sure the women here have also felt it. That could mean trouble for us all.'
~Hn. Yes, you're right. But there is one problem, we don't know her well enough to stop her anger without possible harm to our bodies.~
*Well, well, well. Trying to figure out women are we? There is only one way to appease a woman and calm her down. It's-*
'No, Youko. Neither of us are going to kiss her. That might set them both off on us. We don't want that, nor do we need that complication.'
~I agree.~
*Oh, fuck off you two. That was not what I was going to suggest. I was going to say that-*
'No, Youko. We are also not going to seduce her. The results from that would be catastrophic.'
~Hn. You two have lived with each other way too long.~
*Alright, quit interrupting me. Before I act on both of your assumptions and no Shuichi you won't have any control over what I do. So I suggest you both shove it and listen to me. Alright?*
'Yes, Youko.'
~...~
*What about you Hiei?*
~...~
*Hiei?*
~...~
*Hiei, dammit answer me!*
~... *sigh*... alright.~
*Oh, please don't make me twist your arm Hiei. Though you could twist mine anytime you want. Grrrrrrrrr. You know, wink-wink.*
~Hn. I need a vacation.~
'Youko!'
*...*grumble* ...fine. You're both sure?
'~Yes.~'
*Positive?*
'~Yes!~ Dammit already, just tell us your idea.'

Fanfiction.net:
Maddie O.: I am glad that you thought the first chapter was funny. To explanify about Uke-chan and Seme:
Uke-chan is the submissive person in a (i am guessing) sexual relationship. The one on the bottom so to speak.
Seme is the dominant person in said relationship. The one on the top.
Yes, Youko does pop up at the wrong times, but at least you get a good laugh from his antics.Poor Kurama, no peace even in his own head.
