The Key

The Mission

i own nothing but my ideas, meanign i do not own anything to do with yu yu hakusho, nor do i own any songs mentioned in this or any chapter, thanks for my review :), here's another go at it. let me know what you think!

...

"Alright kid, what is this all about? I thought I was retired," said Yusuke.

"Yeah, I thought we had peace on all the worlds, why are you calling us here?" asked Kuwabara.

"Something has come to my attention that needs our immediate action. We need to have our-" Koenma was cut off.

"We?" questioned Hiei, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes. We. Now, you have all heard of the Reikai Yogen, am I correct?" asked Koenma, though he doubted that all of them had.

"Reikai Yogen?" repeated Yusuke.

"Is that like, a spirit world food or something?" asked Kuwabara.

"It's the ancient prophecy that began at the beginning of time," Kurama began to explain, "When all three worlds came to be, an ancient text was found among each of them. The Makai one was devoured by a demon that thought it was beneath his power. The Ningenkai one has been forever lost, and the Reikai one sits with King Enma."

"Really? I didn't know that, what's on this prophecy?" asked Yusuke.

"No one knows. It is written in a language that only King Enma, and I'm sure Koenma can understand. The language of the ancients, the original rulers of these worlds. I'm assuming you know the contents of this?" Kurama asked the young ruler of the Reikai.

Koenma looked nervous at first, "Not exactly. I only know what my father tells me. It is the most important thing in the universe, and we have to act while we still have the time."

"Alright, so point us in the direction of the bad guy, and we'll have at 'er," said Yusuke.

"It won't be that simple."

"Are you kidding? After all the crap we went through with Toguro, Sensui, and all those other bad guys?" Kuwabara was outraged.

"No. I'm more serious than I've ever had to be in my entire life. We're going to need help this time."

"Alright, point us in his direction then. I want to have this all done before dinner," said Yusuke.

"I'm afraid it will take more time than that. Come with me," said Koenma, changing into his teenage form and opening a portal. The five of them jumped inside of it, traveling to their destination. Once they had reached the other side of it, they were floating down from a sky not unlike their Ningenkai world. It was blue, full of clouds, the sun high, but below them was not a city that they recognized. It wasn't approaching fast either, and it gave them time to try and figure out where they were.

"We're transparent," noted Kurama. He could see through his own hand, and it made him curious.

"Yes. In this world, we don't exist and it is important that we only appear to the one we need," explained Koenma.

"So we're like ghosts or something?" asked Kuwabara.

"Sort of, but I wouldn't think of yourself like a ghost. Although nothing here can kill you, you are also invisible to everything you come across."

"So it's like when I was just a spirit after I died," mused Yusuke.

"It's exactly like that, only none of us are dead."

"Hn. I don't think parlor tricks will impress your warrior all that much," said Hiei.

"Perhaps it is not to impress, but to follow the rules of another dimension," said Kurama.
