*click*

The camera emits a small, yet audible click as I took a picture. With a satisfied grunt, I look again at my unwitting prey.

The redhead didn't even notice me. Good. He just keeps on walking down the path of the park. Where he always passed as he came home from school. How do I know this? Because, I've been here ever since the day he, supposedly Shuuichi Minamino, genius and crush of Meiou High, actually Youko Kurama joined the Reikai Tantei.

I snap off several more good pictures of his kawaii visage before grunting a monosyllable to myself. Yep, this is enough for today. Quick glances to the number of shots I have left strengthen my decision. Hn. Two more shots left.

I wait until he clears the vicinity of the park. I'm not youkai, so there's nothing for him to sense but I still don't want to take chances with a Youko. Much less Youko Kurama, the greatest Thief of Makai.

Fine. He's gone. I stand up from my position and brush the grass stains from my pants. Hmp. That was a good end to a day.

I stomp off to my apartment, ignoring the wind playing with my hair. Gwah. I slump off to my dark room and try to convince myself to process the new ones. Shimatta can't do this now. I put the camera down on the table and walk off to my bedroom.

I approach the lower part and reach in and get my files. On the simple, yet over flowing folder, the title I made easily catches attention. REIKAI TANTEI FILES. Hah, figure that out oh-I-am-so-smart Mr. Minamino. Figure out that I've been watching you. ALL of you.

I open it carefully, keeping in mind that I am not exactly the most neatest of spies. Hah, what a word Spy.

Yes, I've spied upon the Reikai Tantei, Urameshi Yuusuke, Kuwabara Kazuma, Shuuichi…I mean Kurama and yes that short guy…Hiei. As if proof, the pictures I have spill out. I pick them up. Shimatta, when will I be neat?

Hm, I remember this picture. Yeah, look at Urameshi there. He looks like a dolt really, so easily controlled by Yukimura Keiko. Aw man! She's nothing compared to your toushin form but no…you let yourself be smacked, whacked and flung around Ningenkai for that woman. Kawaii.

Ah yeas, I recognize this pose. And I quote "I am the mighty Kazuma Kuwabara!" haha. He's too funny. Yeah, maybe Kuwabara acts like an oaf sometimes, but really he's very much…nice? I dunno. Maybe homely is the word for it. Maybe that's why Yukina takes to him.

Oh, great. Look at all those girls flock around Kurama…like…like flies to a dead bunny. Or fox. Jeez, where did I get that metaphor? But still, It looks like that. Sorry, you still look like a girl to me. Nevertheless, he's a few points short of shooing them all away. What? The great and gorgeous Youko Kurama is spending his nights alone? Maybe holding a torch out for a particular little, fire youkai? Great, I'm being Hentai….

Ah, one of the very, very few pictures of Hiei. The damn fire demon moves too fast to be actually taken a picture of. Hmm? Is this his clothing? I don't think so. Somehow blue shirts and denim jeans don't strike me as the fashion in Makai these days. Must be Kurama's or something. Truth to be told, he looks Kawaii in them. Except maybe for that real dark scowl. Man that looks like it could peel the paint off the wall. Hm…maybe it could.

I gather them all again, great I'm having another guilt attack.

It's not like I'm stalking them or anything. It isn't due to the fact that I have nothing to do, indeed, I'm wondering how I'm going to keep on managing this and still pass those damn tests in chemistry. Nor is it due to the fact that I'm in love with one of them. No thank you, I don't need that.

I found it out, a few months ago, when I was walking along my way. It was one of those things that I couldn't explain, those calls that brought me to places I never dreamed of reaching on barefoot. Once, it brought to a youkai, who was searching for someone. I could see it, but I ignored it. And on that day, it brought me to a warehouse of sorts.

It was pretty late and I had been cursing myself for being so stupid. I don't know this particular part n town. Suddenly I heard an inhuman cry within one of the warehouses. The rise and fall of Ki startled me and I sneaked towards the place.

From then on, I had been watching Urameshi-tachi. Just last week, I did some rather fancy footwork to get past that bubblehead that was at the entrance of the cave. I knew they were in there. I know Sensui was up to no good. I followed the trail of flowers and found myself in the middle of the battle. I started at the sight of Yuusuke…damn I mean Urameshi, slugging Koenma unconscious. What is up with him? was the thought that blazed in my mind. I watched later on, horrified as Urameshi died.

Somehow, Kuwabara, Hiei and Kurama's attack on Sensui was truly, foolish. Yuusuke, who was fairly more powerful, could barely take him on. What was the logic of attacking, knowing they were doomed to failure? But still, it made me realize the friendship that bonded them together,

When Puu came crashing down, I really regretted that I had not my camera with me, I did so want to take a picture of what Puu ended up as. But still I had to skedaddle, most of the special team was turning strange looks towards my direction and I really don't want to tangle with class A. no sir, that's something I don't ever want.

There. The damn thing's shut. Hm, maybe I'll book bind it. Once my periodicals are done I'll take it over to that book binding shop that' s near Kurama's street. Maybe as it book binds I'll get more tidbits.

Maybe.

But until I get there…

I'm still watching.
