Hi people! As you all probably know, Genkai is training the six demons known as Jin, Touya, Chuu, Rinku, Shishiwakamaru, and Suzuki. She has to kind of 'babysit' them in case they get out of control, right?

... What if they had to babysit Genkai? OO This is just a crazy idea I thought up for a fanfic, but I'm giving everything that's unique a shot, including odd pairings and reverse situations. Yes! I'm devoting myself to write everything out of the ordinary for so all of you can take a break from the usual things!

I'm not telling you anymore than this, so just read and if you would like, please leave a review! Flames are allowed too, but please be reasonable. Rinku! DISCLAIMER!

Rinku: ((plays with yo-yos)) Zephyrus does not own Yu Yu Hakusho, or any of its characters! Let's see... She's got... $1.02. Is that enough to buy a new yo-yo?

Did you go through my piggy bank again?!

Rinku: It's too small to be a bank. I'll be taking that. ((snatches $1.02))

TT I was going to buy brownie with that... Um, anyway, I know I'm supposed to be working on "Gentle Storm", the Jin and Keiko fanfic, and said I was going to make a Touya/Keiko fanfic right after it, but I'm sorry! I just got this idea in my head and wanted to know what people thought of it. Plus, I need some ideas for "Gentle Storm". Please give me some ideas! I'd be soooooooo grateful!

Genkai was quietly sipping tea on a quiet night in her quiet home. Quiet... Everything was so quiet and perfect... The sink was quiet, the fridge was quiet, the table was quiet, the chair was quiet, and even the toilet was quiet. The most unusual thing that was quiet, however, was alive and breathing.

"It won't take long before those demon dimwits wake the streets of Makai again." Genkai was fully enjoying the silence that had only existed in her dojo for five minutes. She glanced at an old clock she had. It was ten seconds away from midnight, and every time the clock gonged at that time, all hell would break loose. She sighed almost regretfully that she had taken those demons in to train.

She closed her eyes and calmly murmured, "Three, two, one."

Just as Genkai counted to one, the clock bellowed a long, loud chime. Immediately, screams were heard from one of her guest rooms. In that guest room...

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! AAAAAH! AAAAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!! I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!!!" an ear shattering voice screamed.

A large man with blue hair in a Mohawk style and two split ponytails sat up straight from his bed. "For God's sake, Rinku! You're not gonna die! I knew we shouldn't have let you stay and watch horror movies last night."

A young boy with tousled brown hair and wide, green eyes with stars tattooed under one of them was shuddering. He pulled his blanket closer to his small body and shook even more. "I c-c-c-can't s-stop thinking about it, Chuu! It was scarier than Shishi's cooking!"

"That bad, eh? Poor kid." Chuu shook his head sympathetically. "Nothing can be worse than that!"

From the room next door, a sharp voice shouted, "I heard that! And besides, it wasn't that bad! In fact, it was the most delicious thing I've ever eaten!"

"Yeah, right up until you threw up after you ate your food!" Chuu shouted to the person next door. "Don't worry about it Sissy, I was only messin' with ya. Partly anyway..." Chuu muttered the last part to himself.

"Do not call me that! My name is Shishiwakamaru, and say my full name right! Or is your pathetic mind too small to comprehend that?!" the azure haired, magenta eyed samurai shouted.

"Will you two just shut up?! I'm trying to sleep! So are Jin and Touya!" another voice rang out.

"Then go to sleep! It's not my fault Chuu is so loud."

"Me?! You're the one who's ranting on about your long as hell name! Trying to be the big fish in the little pond, eh?" Chuu was pressed up against the wall, shouting at Shishiwakamaru in the other room.

Shishiwakamaru's eyes contracted and turned demonic, horns extended and everything. He was close to turning into his full demon form. "FOR YOUR INFORMATION, YOU IMBECILE, MY NAME IS THE MOST ELEGANT NAME ON THE FACE OF THIS PLANET... AND I'M NOT A FISH! I AM A TALENTED SWORDSMAN WHO CAN SLICE YOU IN TWO IF THAT IS WHAT I WISH!" He, too, was pressed against the wall to yell at the quarreling person on the other side.

"'Ey! I don' mind this happenin' in the mornin', but keep it down, will ya! Touya and I are tryin' to get some sleep!" an Irish accented voice yelled.

"Rip your elf ears off if you have to! I'm not finished with Chuu!" Shishiwakamaru shouted to the other room.

"Well what if I don' wanna rip them off?! Jus' be quiet, tha's all I'm askin'!"

"Then I'll rip them off myself!" Shishiwakamaru yelled.

In Jin's room, Touya squashed his head with his pillow, trying to drown out the sound. "Enma help me..." he said with a muffled voice.

In Shishiwakamaru's room, Suzuki was banging his head against the wall, causing Touya to lose his wits. "Stop banging your head on the wall! And all of you, BE QUIET!" he shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Put a sock in it you popsicle!" Shishiwakamaru spat. He turned back to the wall he was shouting at. "And you! You spilled sake all over my samurai suit yesterday!"

Chuu scoffed. "SOME fashion statement ya got!"

Rinku sighed. "Not again... I shouldn't have watched those films..."

"Your team was the weakest thing I've ever seen! You with your alcoholic obsessions, two idiots who couldn't even fight, a blue-skinned freak, your burnt-to-a-crisp leader, and bratty boy with yo-yos stuck up his nose!" The samurai changed the insulting subject once again, starting up Rinku.

"I'm not a brat, Sissywakamaru! And I DON'T have yo-yos stuck up my nose! At least not like you have your sword shoved up you're a$$!"

"Watch your language, boy! And DON'T CALL ME THAT!"

"At leas' Rinku's got a poin'; you ARE a sissy!" Jin yelled in the other room.

"WILL YOU ALL BE QUIET?!" Touya and Suzuki both shouted at the same time. However, their attempts to calm their teammates were in vain. On and on, all through the night they screamed at each other through the walls, shattering a few windows.

Back at Genkai, she was finally pushed to her limits. Her eyebrows knit in aggravation as she got up and walked to the guest rooms. She slid open Shishiwakamaru's door and glared at him. "If you don't shut up about your fame and 'superiority', as you call it, you're going to cook for a week!" Shishiwakamaru's eyes widened in shock, gaping at her. Suzuki's mouth formed a silent 'no' as he stared at her incredulously.

Suzuki scrambled to Genkai and kneeled at her feet. "Please Master Genkai! Don't make Shishiwakamaru cook! He almost choked Rinku by putting eggshells instead of the actual egg in the pie! Please... anything but that!"

Shishiwakamaru sneered. "It's not that horrible."

Genkai ignored Suzuki's plea. "He is going to cook, and if you die from it, it's not my fault. Blame him for being a loudmouth." She turned her heel and intruded Chuu's room.

"I'm getting too old for this, so stop yelling and I won't have to tell you to do so. You, boy, are having no T.V. for a month." she said, pointedly to Rinku. His eyes watered. "B-but... Yu-Gi-Oh is on..."

"I don't give a crap about your favorite show. And Chuu, you're not getting your hands on one bottle of sake for a week."

Chuu sighed and hung his head. "Don't give me that look. You've got the lightest punishment so far."

She stepped out of their room and opened Jin's door. Jin was floating/sitting Indian style. "I was only tryin' to stop them." he said innocently. Genkai sighed. This happened every time. "No sugar for a week." Jin's eyes widened considerably. "NO!"

"Yes!" Touya said. Genkai closed her eyes. "Yes." The old master was getting tired, and the next morning would be even worse. "Now go to sleep, all of you." she directed to everyone. "Yes Master Genkai!" Their voices chorused all at once.

With that settled for the time being, Genkai headed to her own room. She closed the door and laid comfortably on her futon. She let the darkness soothe her into a good night sleep and closed her eyes while doing so. "Sometimes I wish I was younger. That way I could put up with them more." Genkai said to herself. And with that, she fell asleep.

In Chuu's room, Rinku was still partially awake. "Psssst! Hey. Hey Chuu." Rinku whispered over to the sleeping demon. Chuu rolled over and opened an eye lazily. "Mmm?"

"I got some kind of powder today." Rinku said. Chuu rolled his eyes. "So what? Go back to sleep, mate."

"I got it from this old guy, who was selling all this weird stuff. I thought it would be cool to buy something, so I asked the guy what he would sell and how much. He held out a little brown satchel and handed it out to me. He said it had a magical powder in it."

"You actually believed the coot?" Chuu gave a small chuckle.

"Yeah! I mean, it wasn't poison or anything, so I bought it for ten cents in human money. I asked why it costs so little, and he just said it was nothing to him. When I asked what it did, he answered that it made people younger. He also told me that if you put it in the water, it'll have some bad effects. The person who drinks the water will get younger and younger until he or she's a baby."

"Then don't put it in the water." Chuu said simply.

Rinku looked down sheepishly at his covers. "Uh... the problem is... I accidentally spilled all of it into the water basin. Master Genkai used that water to make tea."

"You WHAT?!" Chuu roared. "Sssssssssssssshhhhhhh!!!!!!" Shishiwakamaru hissed from the next room. Chuu lowered his voice. "Do you know how much trouble you're in? What if something bad happens to Master Genkai?!" he said in a harsh whisper.

"Well... Maybe Master Genkai didn't even drink tea today." Rinku said uncertainly. "Master Genkai drinks her tea EVERY day." Chuu glared daggers at the boy. Rinku shrunk back a bit. "She doesn't drink tea when she has too much of a headache. And today, she looked like she was pretty mad, so... Maybe she didn't drink it."

Chuu visibly relaxed. "Maybe you're right. But first thing tomorrow, you're cleaning out that basin, got it?" Rinku nodded vigorously. "Good. Now go to sleep, little bugger." Chuu turned around on his side and slept. 'At least... I hope Master Genkai didn't drink it...' Rinku thought. He shook it off quickly and fell asleep as well.

The next morning, Genkai woke up, suppressing a yawn. She groaned when she got up and shielded her eyes from the bright sunlight. Like almost every sanitary human, she walked to the bathroom and brushed her teeth. The mirror was actually shattered by all the noise going on in her temple, so she didn't even bother looking at it.

Her head throbbed, even more than it did last night. Genkai stumbled out of the bathroom and walked to the guest rooms. Just another day of training, like always. She banged on each door repeatedly. "Alright you slackers! Get up and train!" She heard several of them yawn tiredly, then reluctantly open the door.

"Good morning, Master Genkai." Touya said politely, rubbing his eyes. The others bowed respectfully to her. Suzuki raised his eyes to Genkai's face and had a strange expression. Genkai caught him staring and snapped, "What are you looking at?" Suzuki shook his head a little.

"Nothing, Master Genkai. It's just that... You look... a little younger..."

"Last time I checked, I was still old." she said a bit grumpily. Suzuki was right; Genkai had changed a bit. Her wrinkles were less visible, her hair had regained some color, her face was less pale, and her eyes were a bit wider.

"Uh oh..." Rinku trailed off. Genkai jerked her head in his direction and quirked an eyebrow. "What do you mean, 'uh oh'?"

"Um... Nothing Master Genkai! We... should be getting to training, right?" Rinku grinned nervously. Touya's eyes widened slightly. Since when did Rinku want to remind Genkai of training?

"Right. Now, let's start the morning with eighty-five push-ups... Don't look at me like that! Last time it was ninety-five! Consider yourselves lucky." Genkai walked towards the exit and slid the door open, stepping out. The group of demons followed her outside.

They all started doing their morning routine; doing basic warm-up skills, then eating breakfast in case they needed the energy for bigger exercises. Shishiwakamaru still hadn't gotten used to the human cooking materials, so he used pots instead of pans, chopsticks instead of spoons, and forks instead of spatulas.

Without anyone noticing, Rinku used a small bowl to scoop out the water in the basin, careful as to not touch it himself. He threw the water into the sink, making it go down the drain. Once the basin was completely empty, he rinsed the bowl, and quickly refilled the basin with fresh water.

Back to Shishiwakamaru's cooking, he wasn't doing very well. He put sake in the pancakes and poured oil in the pan after he put the eggs in. He looked down at his work: black pancakes, greenish colored eggs, charred bacon, and 'toast'... that wasn't even toasted. He actually looked to be quite proud of his work. "I have no idea why the humans would eat something that looks so grotesque, but nonetheless, I make it taste good."

He flipped the food onto seven plates, then carried them over to the awaiting table. All the demons there and Genkai face faulted. "Is it... supposed to look like that?" Touya asked, his eye twitching slightly. Shishiwakamaru shrugged. "It isn't my fault human food looks so disgusting. Pay no mind to the appearance. Taste the delicate excellence of my cooking!"

The demons sweatdropped as they observed their... food. Rinku poked at it with his fork, Jin sniffed at it, Suzuki just stared blankly at it, Touya's face tinted green, and Chuu stuffed all the pancakes he could in his mouth. "Wow! This is great Sissy! It tastes just like sake!" Chuu exclaimed.

Shishiwakamaru beamed. "Well of course. It is MY cooking after all. Although I would appreciate it if you'd stop calling me that."

Chuu snorted. "No problem, Sissy." Shishiwakamaru still kept a smile plastered on his handsome face. "You'll regret that." he said through gritted teeth, but never removed his fake grin.

"Yeah. Like hell I would," Shishiwakamaru was about to lunge at him like he wanted to do the other night, but Suzuki held him back. Rinku carefully put a piece of pancake in his mouth and slowly chewed it, but then grimaced. "Eeew!" He spat it out near Shishiwakamaru's feet. "Keep things IN, you incompetent child!"

"If anyone's incompetent, it's got to be you..." Touya muttered. "What was that?" Shishiwakamaru seethed. Genkai slammed the cup of tea she made before breakfast on the table, causing everyone to gasp and look at her. "We are NOT going to start this over again! You all act like children! Now eat up, and when you're finished, float on top of the spikes over there for four hours!" Genkai finished her tea, stood up, and slammed the door to her room. "I swear... One more time..." was what the demons heard from Genkai in her room.

"I am a kid... She can't accuse me!" Rinku said proudly. Touya rolled his eyes. "You are over one hundred years old. You only look like a child."

Shishiwakamaru just stared at the table. "She didn't even glance at the breakfast I made her!" The other demons snickered, but received a glare from the samurai. Disdainfully, the demons ate what they had. "If there was sugar on it, it'd taste better." Jin remarked.

As told, the six demons went into the area where they had to float on top of the spike using their spirit energy. "I hate this part." Rinku grumbled. "I love this part!" Jin said, his ears wiggling. "That's because you get to use your wind powers to help you up." Chuu said. "You really think Master Genkai doesn't notice?" Shishiwakamaru drawled.

"Yeah, but it's still fun!" Jin said. He flew above the spike, pointed on top of the spike with his index finger, and steadily balanced himself with his spirit energy.

The others did so as well, concentrating hard on their task at hand.

Genkai staggered in her room, clutching her stomach. It was hurting and she felt sick. 'What's wrong with me? I should be able to subdue this...' Genkai winced slightly as she felt a sharp pang in her stomach. She felt like throwing up, so she rushed to the bathroom.

"Was there something wrong with the tea?" she asked herself. Genkai had made her tea before Rinku could clean the basin, so she must have... dis-aged quicker since she drank the formula twice.

She walked in and washed her face in the water with her hands. 'Wait...' She paused as she felt her face. It wasn't wrinkled and dry anymore, but smooth. "What the hell...?" She murmured, but found her voice to be melodic and more youthful. Her eyes widened as she whipped around to look at the mirror. Her breath caught in her throat.

Genkai was no longer looking old and wise. She looked youthful, beautiful, and rather innocent. She had wide, shining brown eyes, vibrant, wavy, sugar pink hair, and tanned peach skin. She looked like she was about thirty years old. 'I didn't use any spirit energy yet at all. What's going on...?' She surprised herself by biting her thumb, something she wouldn't do when she was older.

She couldn't let her pupils see her like this! Especially not Shishiwakamaru... He would probably be reminded of their fight during the Dark Tournament. She sighed, deciding it was best to get started on her own training anyway. Meditating would help her relax...

Genkai latched her door shut for privacy, sat down on the floor, and started to concentrate on her meditating. Little did she know, she was becoming slightly younger each passing minute...

A few hours later, Genkai was still meditating, but the boys were done their training for the day.

"Is Master Genkai still mad at us?" Jin asked, frowning a little. "She wouldn't be if Shishiwakamaru hadn't woken all of Makai." Touya said.

"If I remember correctly, Rinku was the one who started the whole scenario." Shishiwakamaru said, glancing at the small demon boy. Rinku stuck out his tongue at him. "Nuh uh! Chuu let me watch those scary movies last night!"

"You're the one who wanted to watch them in the first place!" Chuu exclaimed. "Knock it off children. We're not starting this up again." Suzuki said calmly. "Genkai has been in there for quite a while..." He commented as he stared at their mentor's door.

"Maybe we should see if she's trainin' or somethin'!" Jin chirped. He was always fascinated with Genkai's techniques using spirit energy; it was just like Yusuke's. "You know full well she does not like to be disturbed during that time." Touya said. "Maybe we should knock. She wouldn't yell at us too much if we do it politely." Rinku suggested.

"Yeah, maybe you're right." Chuu tapped on the door with his fist lightly, because last time he knocked the entire door down when he did it too hard. "Master Genkai? May we come in?" They heard a grumble from inside.

"I guess they'll have to find out sooner or later." Genkai sighed as she took one last look at herself. She now looked to be about 26 years old. "Wonderful. To be young again." she said sarcastically to her reflection. She inhaled deeply and reached for the door knob. With closed eyes she fully opened the door.

The six demons standing at the doorway just stared at her, at a loss for any words. Their mouths were open and their eyes almost bulged out of their heads. After a long silence, Jin decided to speak for his speechless friends.

"... Who the hell are you?!"

I might seem like bashing Shishiwakamaru, but I'm not doing it on purpose. I like all of the characters here. Please review and tell me if it's good, bad, or okay.
