Love's Denial

Hello. This is my first story, so criticism is welcomed. Please enjoy
Setting: This is set one year after Yusuke, Kurama, and Hiei come back form Makai.

Prologue

Koenma stared at the double doors leading to his father’s office. Ever since he received the urgent message demanding his presence, he has had a sense of foreboding, as if the peaceful world was about to get one hell of a rude awakening. After collecting his calm and steadying his pounding heart, Koenma opened the doors; sure he was opening the floodgates to hell itself.
***********************************************

Yama looked down at his son noticing that Koenma’s shoulders were shaking ever so slightly. He chuckled lightly. “Hello son. There is no need to be so tense. You have done no wrong… this time.”
Koenma sighed in relief, his shoulders almost immediately relaxing, almost. “Well, what was so urgent, Father. I know that there is something you want or is that you feel that we haven’t spent enough quality time together lately?” Koenma asked.
Yama laughed and lend down to see Koenma better. “While I enjoy what little time we do spend together, you don’t like to be here anymore than I like to do paperwork. No, I have called you here for business of course.”
Koenma tensed up immediately. I knew that old son-of-a-bitch was up to something. He stood up straight and looked his father in the eyes the best that he could due to his much smaller size. “Please Father, do tell. What is it that you want me to do now?” he asked, knowing that whatever it was it was not going to be pretty.
Yama hesitated for a moment, something unheard of from the great king. “You know of my assassin, don’t you, Koenma?” he asked.
Koenma visibly paled. “You don’t mean that thing that you keep hidden form view do you?”
“Yes, that is the one. That ‘thing’ has been living in the human world for the past six months. Now do not look at me like that, allow me to explain. I have been worried for some time now that my tool is becoming too strong, too dangerous. I thought that the human world, with its differences from both the sprit world and demon world, would have something of a . . . calming affect towards it. Now back to the business part of this situation. I wish for my assassin to join your sprit detective team.”
Koenma was speechless. His father, the man in control of the entire sprit world, had let that awful, foul, horrifying creature out in a world full of helpless humans. There have been only a few demons that have been able to fight back with that monster let alone any human. And the big fool wanted him to put it on his team. Yama’s age had gotten to him because he truly has lost it. “Are you out of your fucking mind? No, I will not put that … that beast on my team. Why it would probably torture and kill the whole lot of them.”
Yama’s face became hard as he listened to his insolent son. “I do not remember giving you a choice in the matter. Beside preparations have already been made. My ‘beast’ is to infiltrate your team subtly, without any ones knowledge. Now you have been warned. Do not interfere. I can always have another son, you know.” With that Yama dismissed Koenma with the turn of his head.
************************************************

Koenma walked out of his father’s office in a state of complete numbness. He could not believe that his father had threatened to kill him over a creature that didn’t even deserve to live. Well, I guess I had better prepare for casualties, he thought walking to his office, ignoring Botan, who was screaming his name.
