Yusuke Urameshi stared at the toddler who was chewing on his pacifier sitting behind his desk stamping away furiously as if the world were about to come to an end. Which was funny really because that was the very reason he was standing in this office to begin with. The world ending. Something or someone was disrupting everything, destroying the eternal balance and Yusuke, had been called in to handle it after all he was the spirit detective…well ‘Ex‘ Spirit Detective…but this he had been told was a special case that would need him and his team…plus one more but that would be explained or so Botan had prattled on when she chased him down…Standing in the room with him was Kurama and Hiei and Kazuma Kuwabara. And it had to be end of the world stuff cause they had all decided that Kuwabara was best left out of the fights since his only weapon was his spirit sword.

“Yo! Suck face.” Yusuke shouted at the toddler who had not told them anything but worked away at the papers as if someone he mused had instead of bringing about the end of the world had lit a fire under his ass. That felt much better since this end of the world bullshit was likely to give him a headache, not to mention it meant missing out on Monster Dome…the Karate championship to be held live in Tokyo.

“Honestly Yusuke insulting me won’t change the situation any!” Koenma said as he continued to work away and then smirked. “Finished. Now I can yank him and perhaps if I’m lucky one or two others from that division to give a hand since you’re going to be needing it.”

Yusuke glared at him. “Going to be needing what exactly?”

“The Shinigami. Although it’s not like I have the power to yank too many of there number but there is one who should work out just fine and of course I may be lucky enough to get one or two more in the deal.”

“Tsk….right, we don’t need more people like Botan, no offense to her, she’s a big help for the Spirit Detective cheering team but if what your saying is true then we need fighters.” Yusuke said as he glared at the toddler certain he had truly lost his mind on this one.

“Honestly Yusuke. Did I say I was sending one of the Sprit Guides with you?” Koenma said as he looked at Yusuke shaking his head. “No, I said I was sending along a Shinigami. A Soul Reaper. A Death God.” He said as he sat back. “They are most certainly NOT a Guide, in fact I think you’ll find you won’t want to cross them.”

Yusuke looked at him. “It’s the same thing.” He snapped.
“No, that’s like saying that Pro Wrestling and Karate are the same thing Yusuke, while they both share the fact that they are physical activity in common they are totally different altogether.”

Yusuke sighed. “Alright so where do we find these Shinigami who are so different then Spirit Guides?” he asked.

Koenma smirked as he leaned forwards and held out a file. “You’ll find him here…and trust me….don’t underestimate him.”

Yusuke rolled his eyes and shook his head. “Yeah….yeah….” He grumbled.

That had been an uneventful four hours ago, they had returned from the spirit world, made the long trip to this little city off of Tokyo and where now making there way thru, all to avoid the end of the world and the irony of it was? They were supposed to be preventing this great big ’D’ day doom that was coming. But the diaper wearing toddler didn’t tell him if it was days form now, weeks months…years nothing of the sort the only thing he would tell him was that he’d get all the information once he went and brought back the guy in question.

Yusuke sighed as he walked with his team thru the streets of the quiet little town and then blinked when a guy went flying backwards past him and hit the ground. The kid got up and didn’t have a chance to run or get away when a streak of orange bolted past them and slammed into the guy lifting him up and dragging him around pointing.
“Hey asshole do you know what that is?” The carrot top asked pointing at a spilled vase that had once held flowers at the corner.

“Yeah…it was a vase with flowers.” The guy stammered to the orange haired teenager.
“That’s one point…now…DO YOU KNOW WHY IT’S THERE!” The orange haired teenager said as he glared at the other teenager.
“For the girl…who was killed there….” the other teen said.
“Yeah Asshole!” the orange haired teen shouted as he rearranged the others face beating the snot of him. “Find somewhere else to skateboard!” he shouted as he tossed the guy away who landed on the street as he glared at him and ran off.

Yusuke watched all of this and shook his head. “Well that was….” He said but paused when a girl with a chain hanging from her chest stepped out from behind the telephone poll.

“Um thank you…for defending me.” she said softly.
“Yeah.” the orange haired teen said as he looked at her, then down the street shoving his hands in his pockets. “You might want to move on, or I’ll send you on later tonight you wanted to see one last sunset right?”
“Yes.” She said smiling as she looked at him. “Thank you for understanding, just this one last one and then I’ll go on. I promise.”

He nodded and looked at her. “I’ll bring by a few flowers for ya before you go.” He said as he walked over and straightened out the vase and placed the flowers back inside. She smiled and thanked him as he walked off and continued on his way.

Yusuke sighed. “Well that was certainly different.” He said then looked at the file in his hand and shook his head. No pictures of course to let him see what this guy looked like, of course not that would be too easy. In fact other then being told that he had orange hair and Sepia eyes, he knew next to nothing about him, oh he had the normal shit like his address and his name. But a lot of good that did him, for all he knew there could be a dozen and some odd guys with Orange hair and Sepia eyes.
“Well Detective where are we supposed to go?” Hiei asked in a dull tone as he looked around.
“Yeah, yeah Hiei don’t get all worked up or nothing, we’re going that way now.” Yusuke said as he began leading his small little team in the direction that they needed to go, it wasn’t hard to find the place. It wasn’t hard at all.

In fact he was a bit surprised to find him-self in front of a clinic.
“Great so Koenma has sent us to find some sickly guy is that it?” Kuwabara said as he looked at the clinic. “Don’t worry Urameshi as long as we all stick together we’ll have this done and over with in no time. WE don’t need some sick guy helping us out.” He said as he looked at the clinic before them.
“Yeah….right….Kuwabara do me a favor and shut the hell up would ya?” Yusuke said as he walked up and into the clinic’s front doors wondering why the guy’s address was the same as the clinic’s.

A small girl with soft orange-red hair paused she tipped her head. “Oh my is one of you sick?” she asked as she looked at them. “Dad.” She said in a soft tone. “We have visitors to the clinic.”

A tall man with short dark black hair came into the room and looked at them. “Ah welcome to the Kurosaki Clinic.” He said as he looked at them all a bright goofy smile in place.

Yusuke looked at him and wanted to deck him there was just something about the guy that gave him that feeling.
“Ah yes.” Kurama spoke up stepping past him to deal with this which Yusuke was thankful for since Kurama was the more eloquent of them and would be able to handle this without doing something that would get them all in trouble. “We’re friends of Kurosaki-kun’s.” He said.

Yusuke wanted to bolt the second that it happened the man seemed to glitter for a second or two before running up and hugging a poster of a woman on the wall.
“A Masaki it’s a glorious day. Ichigo has finally invited friends over to visit his family our little boy is so grown up.” the eldest Kurosaki said as he hugged the wall.

Yusuke watched as a girl with short chin length black hair stepped out of a back room and looked at them. “You’re here for Ichigo right?” She asked looking at them and when Kurama nodded she turned and headed up the stairs ignoring the man who clung to the wall.

“Ah don’t be shy Karin!” the man shouted. “Daddy has enough love to go around!” He jumped towards her heading up the steps she went wide eyed unable to block or defend however the taller man went flying backwards down the steps thanks to a well placed foot in the face.

“Tsk…” the carrot top from earlier said as he walked down the steps. “Can’t you ACT normal for once?” he snapped.

“Ah Ichigo my boy there you are!” He said as he jumped up. “I was a bit worried when you showed this more rebellious side growing out the back of your hair long like that but the look suits you well.” He said nodding his head. “And now you’ve shown an even more greater change by inviting friends to our humble home.”

Ichigo had a ‘what the fuck are you talking about’ look plastered to his face as he stared at his father a moment.

“Now let me welcome you into adult hood and…..” Whatever he had been about to say was cut off Yusuke noted as Ichigo’s fist connected with the side of his fathers(??) head.

“Would you knock it off already pop’s.” Ichigo said in an icy tone then looked at the four standing just inside the door way. He blinked a few seconds.

“Yo Ichi-nii do you know them?” Karin asked.

Ichigo turned and looked at her. “Um yeah….met them a while ago…you know I just remembered there is something I have’ta go do with them…I’ll be out late…” He laughed a bit nervous even as he successfully shoved them all out of the clinic surprisingly enough and drug them bodily towards the park before letting go and placing his hands to his knees.

Yusuke was impressed with the human kids strength to be able to lug all four of them like that.

“Who are you and what the heck do you want?” Ichigo snapped looking at them.

Yusuke looked at him pointing to his own chest and smirking. “I’m Spirit Detective Yusuke Urameshi. That’s Kuzama Kuwabara, Kurama and Hiei.” He said pointing to each in turn. “And you’re….” Yusuke blinked and went to pull out the file having forgotten the kids full title and name.

“Tsk. Shinigami Daikou Ichigo Kurosaki.” He said as he looked at them shoving his hands in his pockets yet again. “Never heard of this ‘Spirit Detective’.” Ichigo said looking at him and wondering if this was some sort of sick joke on Renji’s part or maybe Ikkaku’s and if it was he’d kick there asses just for sending these idiots to the clinic.

“Give me a break Urameshi sure he’s got some pretty impressive spirit energy but there’s no way that this guy is the one we’re looking for. I mean come…” Kuwabara stepped forwards and into Ichigo’s face. “Can you form a sword or shot off a powerful blast or something”

Ichigo looked at him as if he’d grown a second head, turned green with pink poka dots and started spitting fire and water out of each mouth while shouting something as insanely stupid.

“I just told you.” Ichigo said in irritation. “I am a Shinigami Daikou…..so of course I have a Zanpakuto…just who the hell are you guys really?”

Yusuke grit his teeth and glared at Kuwabara. “Hey Kuwabara remember when I told you to shut up?”
When the other looked back at him and nodded Yusuke continued. “Then do it damn’t.” He shouted.

Yusuke sighed and walked up to him. “Look we don’t know much about you, probably about as much as you know about us. Although the stupid toddler sucking on his pacifier wanted you to come to The gates of Judgment and give us a hand with a small problem. He said he’d explain it all once you where there.”

Ichigo looked at him. “Right…” he said and turned. “Before I go anywhere with you, you’re all going to have to come with me.”

“Yeah were?” Yusuke said not at all liking this. Just what was Ichigo Kurosaki up to.
“Urahara’s Souten.” Ichigo said and began walking.
“Store?!” Yusuke said in disbelief. “He wants to go to the store first?”

Kuwabara laughed. “Maybe he wants to get something for a tummy ache.” He said laughing and then paused when the fist stopped inches before his face, none of them had seen him move….

“I ain’t laughing asshole. I told you. I’ve never heard of this ‘Spirit Detective’ nor have I heard of these gates of Judgment and before I go running off with you to who knows where I’m going check your story out and get some answers.” Ichigo said narrowing his eyes.

Kuwabara stared at the fist that was touching his nose and although Ichigo had not hit him, Yusuke could tell by the way Kuwabara was standing there shaken to the core that his taller friend could not, would not have been able to block it at all.
~*~
Ichigo Kurosaki sat at the table in the ‘Candy Shop’ and looked at Urahara who was fanning himself and looking highly amused.

“Oh I see.” he said as he sat there. “Yes well that would make sense that you don’t know Ichigo, after all you’ve never been thru the academy. Here I’ll try to explain things for you.” He said and Ichigo all but groaned.

Tessai was kneeling next to Urahara , while the four others were sitting around the table. Tessai flipped open the first page of the book. Showing off three worlds with bunnies representing Souls, the living and hollows. Wonderful…..

“Great how the hell did you get a hold of her sketch book.” Ichigo grumbled.
“Ah yes well Miss Kuchiki loaned it to us. Anyways Ichigo pay attention.” Kisuke said as he waved his fan at Ichigo.
“AS you know there are the three worlds. In Seireitei they are called Soul Society, the Living World and of course Hueco Mundo.” Kisuke said and smiled as Ichigo was going slightly cross eyed looking at the pictures as Kisuke spoke.

“The three exist in a balance which you as a Shinigami Daikou maintain.” Kisuke said as he talked and Tessai flipped the pages. “But somewhere between the Spirit and living worlds exists the plans of the King which as you know you normally need the kings key to reach.”

Ichigo rubbed at his temples but nodded. He just wanted the rocky bunny picture show to stop. He half listened half tuned out the words as his eyes glazed over looking at the horrid Chappies dressed in all sorts of odd clothes and things….and something about dying before there time no place and ordeals to come back to life and Ichigo was certain of one thing his head hurt. Really, really fucking bad. Taking a deep breath he looked at Kisuke.
“Alright…I think I got it…sorta.” Ichigo said shrugging as he looked at the eccentric shop keeper. Geta-boushi was driving him beyond nuts right now with those drawings and there was simply too many to count.

Ichigo stood and looked at Kisuke. “So basically it’s an honor to be called there and find out what there calling ya there for right?” Ichigo gripped and Kisuke nodded holding out the closed fan and point it at him.

“Right Ichigo.” Kisuke said and Ichigo sighing reached back fumbling in his pocket for his badge only to feel the end of Geta-boshi’s cane knock him in the head he was sent flying tumbling and rolling backwards while his body fell with a thud to the floor.

“Dam’t Urahara warn me when your going to do that!” Ichigo yelled angry as he stood up and brushed himself off then looked at his body which…..caused him to flinch. “Damn’t if anything’s broken I swear I’ll kick your every loving ass…”

Kisuke smirked and reached into bag beside him pulling out the stuffed lion and ejecting the mod soul before sticking Kon into Ichigo’s waiting mouth….or rather the mouth of the living shell he’d left behind.

Kon sat up gasping for air and rubbing his forehead. “Geez…Ichigo you might wanna be a little more careful with your body you know.” Kon said standing and turning to face him pointing his finger at the Shinigami. “There isn’t an inch that doesn’t hurt but oh well.” He smirked. “I’ll just go see if Orihime is willing to fix me up.”

“Kon…” Ichigo said.

“Don’t worry I heard the extent of the conversation.” Kon said pausing and looking at him. “I’ll take care of em. Don’t worry about that. You in the mean time do what you need to do.”

“Tsk…” Ichigo glared at him. “yeah that’s all well and good but I was gonna say don’t go getting yourself hurt or killed while in my body.”

Kon laughed. “That goes without saying Ichigo.” He said waving as he walked off.

Ichigo looked at Yusuke, Kurama and Hiei before he looked at Kuwabara who were all looking at him quietly. Yusuke and Kuwabara were gaping at the mouth like fish out of water, Hiei regarded him with narrowed eyes and Kurama looked highly interested. Ichigo wasn’t sure he liked any of it. But for the moment.
“Alright let’s go.” he said and the five left to go to the Spirit world and met with Koenma.

~*~
The sound was rich, deep, and resounding as it echoed thru the room and down the halls as Ichigo Kurosaki nineteen years old stood there doubled over and laughing his ass off so hard his stomach hurt. When Yusuke had called him a toddler he wasn’t kidding. Koenma was sitting there before a desk that made him look absolutely tiny that was until he stood up and vola it was shown that he was indeed a toddler.

“Ah shit…you can’t be serious.” Ichigo said looking at Yusuke. “That kid is the one you take orders from?”
“Yup.” Yusuke said smirking as he stood there. “That is Lord Koenma. Aka Suck Face.”
Ichigo shook his head, then looked at Koenma and shrugged. “Sorry was expecting someone who looked older like Jii-san.”

“Yes well we don’t all age as poorly Shinigami-Daikou.” Koenma said as he folded his hands before him wondering if putting Ichigo and Yusuke on the same team was a good idea, but it was too late they were already here…

Ichigo shook his head and straigtened up then suddenly turned piercing Sepia brown eyes on Koenma the look in them entirely too cold and serious all at once. AS if once the first few moments of the meeting were over it was time to get serious and suddenly Koenma wanted the Shinigami-daikou laughing his ass off again.

“Ahem.” He said clearing his throat and looked at them. “We have a problem, normally en evil like this attempting to bring about the end of the world would just take Yusuke however the one causing it has remained hidden and has demons as well as Hollow working for it. While Yusuke and his team can handle the demons as well as most lower level hollow we needed someone skilled at and capable of defeating the higher level hollow in order to find the master mind and stop him or her before bringing about the end of the world.”

“Great so who are we fighting against?” Ichigo asked. “This mastermind whoever…”

“Ah yes well we don’ know yet…however we will tell you as soon as we know.” Koenma said as he waved them off. “Now we just need to find a place for Ichigo to stay.”

Yusuke shook his head. “That’s not going to be easy Koenma I mean it’s not like he had a body at the moment.”

“Gi-gai.” Ichigo amended. “I have a body, Kon’s using it, I don’t have a ‘Gi-gai.’.”

“Same thing.” Yusuke said and Ichigo shook his head.

“Except that I’m alive and so is my body. When I leave it, it sorta goes into a state of suspended animation which is why I’m still a Substitute.” Ichigo said. “I haven’t died yet.”

Yusuke looked at him and was about to say something when Kurama spoke up.

“Perhaps staying at Genkai’s would be the best for the moment.” Kurama said not sure if having him around his family would be a good thing, then there was Yusuke and that would be difficult to explain.

Yusuke looked over as Koenma spoke. “Actually Kurama, Kurosaki-kun will be staying with you. Don’t worry, Kon has already been instructed to meet you all there, and Isshin Kurosaki your father Ichigo is aware that you will be taking an extended field trip.” Koenma said and smiled. “Now you can all head to earth and figure this out.”
