Yusake Urameshi lay back against a bench with his head slumped behind him; he stared up at the clear blue sky a frown on his face.

“We think their somewhere in uptown, Damn babybreath just loves to make me pissed off doesn’t he?”

He got up from the bench, put his hands in his pockets, and started to walk down the street trying to spot any suspicious people.

He had only been walking for a few moments however when he saw a clear barely noticeable spot of air floating down the street.

The people walking along the road shopping were oblivious to the thin strip of air, And Yusake realized with a start that this must be the work of one of the criminal demons with the three special items Koenma had mentioned.

He lost no time in running after it into a dark alleyway.

But as soon as he entered he couldn’t see what he thought was a soul anywhere.

Going in deeper into the alley to reach a small clearing, He looked around suspiciously at the 5 men laying around sleeping, drinking or just plain glaring at Yusake as he approached.

I know I saw that soul go in here, But which one took it? He studied all of the faces trying to tell if they looked like they had stolen the soul of a child until he gasped.

A large muscled man wearing a green shirt sat in the corner half his face covered in shadow, But on Yusake’s second glance he leaned forward to smirk at him.

And on his head poking out like the devils, two horns that were each a good five inches.

Well that’s not normal. Yusake thought narrowing his eyes.

Before he could approach the man however the other four in the clearing surrounded him.

“Why aren’t you in school kid?” One asked with a sneer.

“Probably dropped out” Another chuckled.

“If you don’t move out of the way, I’ll drop you out.” Yusake replied raising his fists.

“You really shouldn’t swing words around kid.”

“You might get hurt!”

Yelling the last word out, All of the drunks jumped at Yusake with their fists in front.

Damn! I don’t have time for this! Yusake thought as he kicked most of them away and punched the last.

Botan will kill me if I lost one of those baddies when I had him right in front of me!

He kicked one in the stomach making him keel over, Then made two others hit each other while they swung for him.

Caught off guard by the two other men Yusake didn’t notice one behind him, The guy raised his fist to punch Yusake but at the last second Yusake sensed it and escaped panting with only a scratch. Even though it hurt.

“See kid? Your not as tough as you talk might as well give up and run away to your mommy.” The remaining three laughed.

Yusake straightened up smirking.

“Oh I’m so scared you scratched me” Yusake replied in a baby voice.

Why you little B-

“Now now let’s not say bad words in front of the kids” Yusake said shaking his finger playfully at the drunk guys.

“What children?” One of them was stupid enough to ask.

“My apologies, I mistook you for being a kid when your really a toddler, It won’t happen again.”

“This boy is really starting to piss me off” The one who asked the stupid question said breaking his beer glass in half and advancing toward Yusake.

“Me too, It’s high time you learn to respect your elders kid.” Another said.

“Elders? All I see is a couple of babys!” Yusake said pretending to look around with a telescope.

“That’s it your dead!” The last one yelled.

All three ran to attack him.

Yusake easily dodged the first tripping him in the process, Catched the second one’s hand and twisting it making him fall to the ground while holding it, With the third he grabbed the bottle dodging the punch and cracked it over his head knocking him out.

Piece of cake Yusake though smirking behind his back at the pile of knocked out drunks.

A few seconds later he gave a start and looked at the corner, No one was there!

Turning around frantically and not spotting the man with the freaky horns his expression turned nervous.

“I think I might have lost him.”
