Strong Spirit

Chap 3 The Boss

Botan took Yusuke, Kuwabara and Keiko to Spirit World. They gazed upon the massive palace in awe. “This guy must be rich to afford a place like this.”

“It’s Lord Koenma’s Father’s palace.” Botan explained. “But in terms of wealth the King’s money could fill the entire earth’s oceans and seas.”

Kuwabara and Yusuke’s jaws dropped as they tried to calculate that much money. Keiko was just worried about what their new boss was going to look like, she kept picturing a terrible monster.

They went down the long hallways and reached Koenma’s office. “Greetings all of you, I am happy you all took part in my job offer. Each of you have potential to be great spirit detectives.” Koenma’s voice came behind a massive chair. The chair turned and everyone held their breath waiting to see who their new boss is.

Kuwabara and Keiko gasped as a young and handsome male with short brown hair, Jr. marked his forehead and he was sucking on pacifier. “You mean this pretty boy is running the Spirit World!” Kuwabara shouted. Keiko smacked him.

“Kazuma don’t be rude.” Keiko said.

“So you’re the big boss then?” Yusuke said looking Koenma over.

“Indeed I am Yusuke, do you have a problem with that?”

“Not at all, so let’s hear about this job.” Yusuke said with a smile. Yusuke’s smile made Koenma blush, he was a bit mesmerized by Yusuke’s warm gaze.

Botan coughed into her hand, and Koenma snapped out of it. “Oh yes um your job. First things first each of you will carry a spirit beast egg. The egg will feed off your emotions and spirit energy and grow into a powerful beast, however if you fill the beast with negative emotions the beast will hatch into a monster and devour you.” Koenma presented each of them with a golden egg. Yusuke took his egg without hesitation.

“No worries here I am a man with a pure soul!” Kuwabara pounded his chest proudly, he took the next egg. Keiko then took hers.

“Hey Koenma do I really have to work with this guy?” Kuwabara pointed his thumb at Yusuke. “I don’t mind working with Keiko, but Urameshi and I don’t mix well I don’t think I can accept him as leader.”

“That precisely why I made him the leader of this little team, however if you truly think you can make a better leader, I’ll give you the chance on this new mission.” Koenma explained about the three objects stolen from his Father’s vault. “If you can retrieve the items I will make you the leader of the team.”

“Awesome just you wait Urameshi soon you have to do as I say.” Yusuke ignored Kuwabara completely. He gave a light head bow to Koenma for a sign of respect and turned to leave. If this guy was gonna keep his mom safe he would show him some respect.

Yusuke went home, ignoring Kuwabara’s angry shouts to listen to him. Keiko agreed to work with Kuwabara on getting the items back she didn’t want those items to hurt people. Kuwabara believed him and Keiko could handle this themselves. Yusuke went home and found the little guardians still intact and his mother safe. However now that he was back he was in Hiei’s sights.

To be continued…

Fic History: Wanted to do a fic where Yusuke had his powers right off and was able to grow stronger and handle apparitions a bit easier. With Keiko I’ve always been curious what kind of power she would have if she hadn’t used her spirit energy to revive Yusuke.
