Author's Note: Holy dick, it's been ages since I updated this!! I am ashamed of myself! I've been playing too much Fire Emblem lately... But I recently re-watched Yu Yu Hakusho, and the flames of my love for it have been fanned. so, here you go! The next chapter!

The sun had begun to sink below the horizon, and Rinku still had no idea where he was. After three hours of wandering, he came to the conclusion that humans were purposely making all of their streets look alike for the sole purpose of confusing him.

"Hey, kid!" called a man, pulling up beside him in a blue SUV. "You lost?"

Rinku glanced around. "Who… me?" he asked.

"Yeah, you. Do you know where you're going?"

He shrugged. "I'm looking for the hotel my friends are staying in, but I can't find it. It's a Days Inn, and it's a few blocks from a bar called Tease. Do you know where that is?"

The man thought for a moment. Then his eyes widened. "Yeah, yeah, I know where that is," he said with a nod.

"Oh, that's great!" exclaimed Rinku, smiling. "Could you give me directions?"

"Sure, here, let me write them down…" He fumbled around for a pen, but then looked up. "Hey, I got a better idea. I'm headed in the direction you're going. Why don't I give you a ride? I wouldn't feel comfortable letting a youngster like yourself walk around alone at night."

Rinku grinned broadly. "That would be awesome," he said sincerely. "You have no idea how long I've been walking."

"Well, hop on in!" The man leaned over to open the door, and Rinku happily got in. Now, anyone reading this can easily point out Rinku's mistake: talking to strangers and getting in their car. Rinku, however, being a demon, was not aware of this rule. He had no need to be. Demons didn't sink as low as to abduct children for their own sick pleasure. The only time children were abducted in the demon realm was when their parents were involved in some shit they should have steered clear of.

After driving for about twenty minutes, Rinku noticed a familiar sight. "Hey, there's the bar!" he exclaimed happily. "The hotel should be right over there."

"Uh-huh," the man agreed, nodding.

Rinku arched an eyebrow. "Uh, mister, we're going the wrong way."

"Uh-huh."

"The WRONG WAY. As in, turn around."

"Uh-huh."

"Alright, what the fuck is going on here? You said you would take me back to my hotel!"

The man rolled his eyes. "We ain't going to the hotel, kid. Now shut up, and I won't kill you!"

Something in Rinku's head clicked. 'Oh,' he thought, eyes widening. 'I'm being kidnapped.' He sighed in exasperation. "Well, this is inconvenient!" he exclaimed. "Look, how about you just drop me off here, and you can escape with all your limbs attached."

The man glared at Rinku. "What did you just say?" he snapped, pulling a gun out of his jacket. "Look, kid, you aren't in the position to make threats here! One more word outta you, and I'll put a bullet in your head!"

Rinku considered his options. He wasn't worried about the gun at all. The only gun he feared was the one in Yusuke's possession. He could easily knock the retarded pedophile out, but then that left him to prowl the streets for another not-so-lucky kid. No, Rinku thought, glaring at the man's ugly, leering face. This one had to go. They traveled in silence for a few more miles, and Rinku slipped his hands into his pockets.

"Hey! What're you doing?" snapped the driver, reaching for his gun again.

"I'm just grabbing my yo-yos," he said innocently, showing the man the items in question. "I'm bored."

The man growled. "If I were you, I'd try showing a bit more respect. I've got the gun, not you."

Rinku glared. "Well, if you were me, then I'd be you. And if I were you, I'd actually be scared."

"Really? And why's that?"

Rinku's small form was obscured in shadows, and a small chuckle emerged from the darkness. "Because I'd be terrified that the demon I kidnapped would rip the flesh from my weak human body."

The man laughed. "Demon? You're watching too much TV, kid!"

"And you're looking at too much kiddie porn in your mom's basement," retorted Rinku snidely, letting one of his yo-yos fall. The string jerked, and the yo-yo returned to his hand.

"Shut the fuck up!" the man roared, brandishing the gun in Rinku's face. Two yo-yos fell.

"You seem fit, though," Rinku continued. "Do you run on the treadmill while looking at print-outs? Or does jerking off count as a form of exercise?"

The SUV screeched to a halt. "That does it!" He grabbed Rinku's arm with bruising force as three yo-yos fell. "Let's go!"

"Yes, let's," Rinku said, voice dripping with boredom. The man shoved him to the ground, then proceeded to drag him to the middle of the abandoned lot. One yo-yo string lazily wrapped itself around the man's leg.

"I was originally gonna let you go, you know?" the man said, sneering.

Rinku pulled a face. "What, after living out your sick fantasies? Tough luck, you ass-bandit!"

The barrel of the pistol jarred against Rinku's forehead. "Shut your face already!"

"Shoot me, you pussy!" taunted Rinku, wagging his tongue at his captor. "Or are you too scared?"

There was a click as the man pulled the trigger, but no sooner had the bullet left the chamber, Rinku was behind the man, the ends of the strings glowing slightly as he wound them around his fingers. "How…?" was all the man had time to say before the strings cut through his arms, legs, head and torso, leaving a pile of bloody biological waste in their wake.

"Oops," Rinku muttered to no one in particular. "I hope Koenma didn't see that."

Meanwhile, in Reikai, Koenma was jumping and clapping with joy. "Didja see that, Ogre?" he exclaimed. "That's three months of paperwork I don't have to do anymore!" He cheered again. "Thank you, Rinku!"

In the field, Rinku sneezed. "Well, I have to get out of here somehow…" His eyes fell on the car, and he grinned. "Yeah… somehow…"

"Well, this is unfortunate," muttered Kurama, hanging up the phone.

"What's wrong?" asked Yusuke, returning from the breakfast bar with a huge pile of food. "Anyone hungry?"

Kurama shook his head. "Rinku escaped from Child Services yesterday evening. They have no clue where he is."

Shishi swore under his breath. "Any chance the great Spirit Detective could help us locate him?"

"Hey, what the hell do you think I've been doing this whole time?" exclaimed Yusuke in outrage.

"Stuffing your face with waffles," Hiei answered. "Why don't you use that compass thing you used to find me?"

"That's brilliant!" exclaimed Yusuke through a mouthful of bacon.

"No, that's disgusting," Touya corrected, taking a step back so Yusuke wouldn't spit on him.

Yusuke ignored him. "Hey, where're the girls?"

"Asleep," Kuwabara said bluntly. "Anyone want a waffle?"

Everyone glared at him, except for Jin, who waved his hand eagerly. "I do! I do!"

"Here ya go!" Kuwabara slid a plate of waffles to the Wind Master, who practically inhaled them on sight.

Touya rolled his eyes. "I take it back. THAT is disgusting."

"So, any idea where the compass is?" asked Kurama, eager to change the subject.

Yusuke shrugged. "Ask Boton. She usually keeps those things for me."

"What am I, your secretary?!" exclaimed Boton from the doorway.

"I thought you were asleep," Yusuke said, confused.

Boton folded her arms across her chest. "Well, I was hungry, and I thought I'd get a waffle. Why aren't you guys at Child Services?" The guys exchanged nervous glances, and Boton sighed. "Don't tell me. He escaped."

"Exactly," Suzuka sighed.

"Why am I not surprised?" groaned Botan. "Well, I'll go get the compass. Do we have anything with Rinku's DNA on it?"

"Um…" The Ass-Heroes exchanged glances.

"I think his toothbrush is upstairs," Touya said.

"Great!" Botan said. "I'll get it… after I get a waffle, that is…" She walked towards the breakfast bar.

"Don't eat all of 'em!" exclaimed Jin frantically. "I still want some!"

"You're hopeless," Shishi sighed, rolling his eyes. "I hope Rinku isn't in too much trouble."

-----

Twenty minutes after killing the pedophile, Rinku was starting to look rather harassed. "So…" he growled. "HOW DOES THIS DUMB THING WORK?!" He stomped on the gas pedal, but the car just wouldn't move. "I'm not pushing the brake! Why won't it—Oh, duh!" He released the emergency brake, and the car shot forward into a tree. "Shit! Damnit, I should just walk!"
