((Continued from
hereIn the home of the Kazekage, things are far from cheery. Gaara stands looking out a window, his siblings Kankuro and Temari looking at him from across the room. They had been surprised at such an urgent call. Botan stands near Gaara, biting her lip. Beside her was a bandaged and bruised, but otherwise okay Hinageshi. She looks

The image is crackly and the static present, so one can tell that this was sent a while ago. After a moment, the thin figure of Kurama comes into focus.
The man, still beautiful although ragged, has stress laid across his features. A long cut grazes his cheek.
"Botan-san, Gaara-san. When you get this message, there won't be much time left. We've managed to keep the demons at bay here in the human world, but we were wrong in our calculations. The demons won't be coming from here. They're coming directly to Gaara-san's world through the Demon Plane."
"Damnit." Botan uncharacteristically curses.
"That will cause some definate problems in the form of Maikai Insects. I don't know how spiritually aware the people of that world are, so Botan-san, that task may fall in your hands. Also, we've figured out that the demons have really planned this out. They've forged an alliance with some group in your world, Gaara. Perhaps the Akatsuki rings a bell? Well, that's all for-"
The connection dies.

"How the fuck do they know about the Akatsuki?!" Kankuro growls, slamming his hands dwon on the table. This snaps Gaara out from whatever unpleasant thoughts that occupied his mind.
"That's it. There's nothing we can do to stop an invasion. We need to think of the best way to face them."
Reply
"You and I will have to make a barrier. The Maikai Insects and the lesser demons won't be able to stand white magic." Botan has never, ever looked this angry before. "Tell me you have the Artifacts." She nods. "Good. We wouldn't want them to fall into the wrong hands. We'll put up wards, too."
Reply
"Temari. We need to allers the other villages. Withe the Akatsuki involved, they won't be satisfied with just us. That means we won't stand alone and that we might be able to form alliances with more than just Konoha."
Back to Botan and Hinageshi. "I know that you have abilities that we don't. So I need to know exactly what you can do."
Reply
"We're basically baseline humans, but we do have the ability to heal, put up barriers, and our auras put out enough white magic to hold off very, very weak demons." Botan informs him.
"We also have a very strong spiritual awareness. We can see ghosts and apparitions most people cannot," Hinageshi pipes in.
Reply
"Do you know of a way to contact Yuusuke and the others?"
Reply
"I couldn't get him and Hiei a little bit ago," Hinageshi confesses. "I'll keep trying."
Botan looks at Gaara, a painful, sad look. God, why did this have to happen? 'Please, don't let me lose him.'
Reply
"Temari. Get teh word out to teh other villages. Kankuro. I want the village on high alert as soon as possible. We don't know when they will strike, so lets assume they will do so quickly."

Botan looks down. Then here resolved look comes back. "Come on, Hinageshi..let's make some-" She looks out the window, and the yells.
"That guy! I know that guy!" She points to a passersby. "It's that sleazy scalper from the Dark Tournament!"

One could almost pity the slease, having two enraged ninja after him, dead-set on a capture and quite certainly a beating.

The demon pervert is just that. He's a green, lizard sorta fellow with dank hair, and a worn out suit and hat. Basically, the guy who sleazes on girls at bars.
He has one look at the brothers and flails. "Whoa whoa! Don't kill me! I'm on you guy'z side!

"Talk," comes the hissed order from Gaara as the sand slowly tightens.
Reply
"Ohohoho, it's you, oh-so-beautiful friend of Koenma!" He grins. "You don't know how long I've been waiting to see you, dollface."
Botan turns green. "I can't say the feeling's mutual. What are you doing here? "
Reply
There's a single look exchanged between the brothers before Kankuro dashes off.

Botan groans. "Do you have a purpose here, other than to scar me?"
He wriggles. "Yeah, I gotta message from that general of Mukuro-sama. The short one, ya know?"
Her eyes widen. "Hiei!" Hinageshi blushes. "Hiei-san!"
"Yep, now, babe, if you could sic your attack dog offa me, I could give ya this here message."

Because this guy is not clearly not human, and is thus an enemy unless Botan or Hinageshi says otherwise.
