"So, what is supposed to be on this video?" Dan asked.

"Information" Yusuke answered.

"We shouldn't let Sakura and Dan see this" Kuwabara said.

"Hey, this is my VCR" Sakura said, "I should be able to watch."

"Normal people will only be able to see snow anyway" Kurama pointed out.

"We're not normal" Dan said. Sakura whacked him. Yusuke smirked at them.

The video started. It showed a fancy picture of Koenma before it showed him talking.

"Who's the brat?" Dan asked.

"What's with the pacifier in his mouth?" Sakura asked.

"That brat is the leader of Reikai, my boss" Yusuke answered.


The video showed the inside of Shadowlaw's headquarters. It showed a frightening picture of M.Bison. It showed a picture of Yukina. The video informed them that she was kidnapped, again.

"She's cute" Dan commented. Kuwabara whacked him.

"What'd you do that for?" Dan asked.

"She's Kuwabaras' girlfriend" Yusuke said.

"Oh. Hey Kuwabara, your girlfriend's cute!" Yusuke started to snicker at Dan's comment. He got glared at.


"Guys, I have to go" Kurama suddenly said, "I have to fight this guy named Vega"

"Oooh, he's scary" Sakura said. Kurama left and the others continued to watch the video. It showed a picture of Akuma and explained why he had to be apprehended. Kuwabara wanted to rescue Yukina. He was about to run out but he realized that he had no idea where to go.

"Uh, where is M.Bison?" Kuwabara asked.

"We should know that, shouldn't we?" Sakura said.

"Yeah! I think he's at Shadowlaw's' secret headquarters." Dan said.

"All the fighters have an idea where it is. We just don't go there because it's creepy."

"Yeah, I mean it has a huge sign that says 'THE SECRET HEADQUARTERS OF SHADOWLAW' in neon letters."

"We'll take you there."

"Uh, sure"

"Dan, are you afraid?"

"Oshaaa! The mighty Dan fears nothing!"

"Are you going to refer to yourself in third person again?"

"Yes, he is. Dan has every right to refer to himself in third person."

"Baka."

"Will you two stop this stupidity?" Kuwabara asked. Dan and Sakura looked at eachother and shrugged.

"Kuwabara just wants to rescue his girlfriend as soon as possible." Yusuke said.

"Well, we said we'd help" Sakura said.

"So let's go!" Dan said. They all headed for Shadowlaw's' headquarters.


Akuma watched as they left. He decided not to get involved. He never liked M.Bison. As long as they were after Bison they wouldn't bother him. He feared the Reikai tantei, though he wouldn't admit to this fear. He knew that these were powerful individuals. They were used to fighting demons. Three of them had demonic natures themselves.

"Hn" he suddenly heard someone say. Akuma turned around and saw Hiei staring at him.

"What do you want?" Akuma asked angrily.

"Baka ningen."

"Nani?"

"You're not a true fighter."

"Are you challenging me, you little shrimp?"

"Hn. I wouldn't call it much of a challenge. You've only fought ningen."


Akuma was almost raging. Hiei was barely containing his anger from being called a shrimp, yet somehow they managed to only exchange words.

"Hm."

"Hn."

"Hm."

"Hn."

"Shouldn't you be rescuing your sister?" Hieis' eyes went wide. Akuma smirked.

"How do you know about Yukina?" Hiei asked.

"So, that's her name. That moron, Bison is trying to harness her you-ki or something. You kinda resemble the little ice maiden. Wait, whay am I bothering to tell a midget like you?"

Hiei managed not to lose his temper. He was actually quite calm. "I'll deal with you later" he said before quickly leaving.

"Coward." Akuma called after him. Hiei ignored his remark. He was more concerned with other matters. He wasn't really worried about Yukina. he wouldn't admit to this but he trusted Yusuke and Kuwabara. He knew that they wouldn't let any harm come to her. He went to watch Kurama and Vega fight.


Vega stared at Kurama and licked his lips from under his mask. he was going to enjoy this fight.

Kurama was able to detect Vega leering at him through the mask. This gave him an uncomfortable feeling despite knowing that Vega was only ningen. Vega did a flourishing bow.

"Shall we begin, lovely one?" Vega said. He adjusted his claws and got ready to attack. Kurama got a rose from his hair. Vega suddenly lunged and cut the rose with his claws. Kurama's eyes widened at the sudden movement. Vega was extremely quick for a mere ningen. Kurama would have to be more cautious.

"Fuja Embujin!" Kurama said. Rose petals started to surround him. One of them scratched. He looked at the blood forming on his arm and grinned.

"Beautiful but deadly. I empathize" Vega commented. He swiped his claws and caught a few rose petals. This gave Kurama enough time to bring out another rose.

"Rose whip!" he called out. The rose turned into a green thorny whip. It caught Vegas' mask revealing his pretty face and psychotic expression.

"Pretty one, that mask doesn't belong to you." Vega said. Kurama lashed the whip. Vega somersaulted under it while cutting it. It started to grow back. Kurama continued to attack with it while Vega continued to dodge. He rolled under the whip and stabbed Kurama. He managed to do this repeatedly while avoiding Kurama's face.

Kurama was on the verge of collapsing. Blood was dripping from the various wounds. Vega licked some blood from his weapon.

An apparent puff of smoke enveloped both fighters. When it cleared, a tall male with golden eyes, long silver hair, tails and fox ears was standing where Kurama was. He had an evil smirk on his handsome face. His opponent stared, dumbfounded. All of the females and a good percentage of the males in the crowds swooned at the sight of Youko Kurama.

The Bishounen fox spirit walked closer to Vega. His golden eyes showed very little emotion. His face was both impassive and threatening. The Spaniard was close to trembling when Youko Kurama simply said "Bang" (pronounced somewhat like bong). The claws dropped to the ground.

A strange plant appeared seemingly out of nowhere. It attached itself to Vega and started to devour him. His eyes bulged in shock and pain. Youko Kurama was satisfied with what he saw. The match no longer mattered. Kurama was already disqualified for leaving the arena when the Youko form presented itself. He simply enjoyed watching Vega suffer.

A black blur moved towards the arena revealing itself as Hiei. "Don't kill him. He's only ningen. It isn't worth it" Hiei said.

"But it's so much fun" Youko Kurama said, "unless I could have a different kind of fun with you." A lascivious grin appeared on his face. He moved closer to his half koorime koibito. The plant vanished, letting Vega's unconscious form slump to the ground. Kurama ignored it. He put his arms around Hiei and whispered something to him. Hieis' grin matched the expression of his koi. They quickly left the arena to find a secluded place where no one would bother them.
