This is a story I wrote for school. Most characters are from a show I used to watch, Yu Yu Hakusho, of which I hold no ownership. The requirements were 1) it couldn't be more than three pages, 2) It had to have more than three genres (this one is, humor, poem {one I found on the internet}, map {which I can't show on here}, and script form. Enjoy, I know I did writing this! Warning! This is very long with the other story-related things on and the story itself!

Friendship
There is nowhere to run,
Nowhere to hide.
To appear before darkness,
Is all you can do.
Are you the only one left?
The only one here?
No, your friends will always,
Be by your side.
As darkness begins,
To pour over all you remember,
You can always know,
You are never alone.
The Surprise Party
“Brrring! Brrring! Brrring!” The telephone rang at the empty residence of the Jaganshi’s. Since there was no one home, naturally, like at any other home the answering machine took the call with the voice of a young female teen.
Answering Machine: (Happily) Hello, this is the microwave. I’m taking the calls now that the answering machine eloped with the freezer. After you finish questioning your sanity, and get over your brief state of shock, please leave your name, number and message at the tone and your call will be returned as soon as possible. When you’re finished with your message, if you put a heat able food up to your telephone I’ll even cook it for you! Beep!
Caller: (Happy, laughing, female) Hey Sam? Yeah, this is Yukina. Just wanted to let you know that the boss is here at Tai’s house. Koenma, Tai and I were just about to get everyone else and were going to have them meet up with us somewhere soon. The toddler is going to have Kuwahara call you and explain where we’ll congregate. Nice message too an answering machine and freezer, only you would come up with that. See ya’ Pan!
Yamaris, who was also called Yukina by her closest friends, the ‘Spirit Detectives’, related the information and promptly hung up.
All nine of the spirit detectives, Alex, Beth, Brad, Hiei, Kuwahara, Sam, Shuichi, Yamaris, Yusuke and their boss Koenma each had two nicknames that they use when any of them are on a mission, to avoid recognition or when no one else is around, for no apparent reason. They’re only nine detectives for a simple reason, there was no one else like them. True, they all were human, just not what could be classified as 'normal'. All of them had at least two abilities, in addition to controlling a minimum of one element (with the exception of Yusuke and Kuwahara who used Spirit attacks which are more void-like then anything else) they could all do a few other things too. Some could talk to foxes, others cats, read minds or just heal quicker then the rest of the team. Because of these abilities they learned they had when they were merely ten, they were all ridiculed, exiled from every social group and labeled ‘freak’ by students and staff alike. Actually, they had never even met each other before (of course that would be excluding Sam and Hiei who were brother and sister) they met Koenma who gave them jobs as spirit detectives about one year later. Constantly they were sent on various missions, undercover, and group missions being the most common. The most frequent types were basically, find and bring into custody this ghost/spirit (spirits are slightly more dangerous) or whatever it was at the time. Obviously, every single mission had something to do with the supernatural.
Unbeknownst to the nine adolescence teens this very day was the fifth anniversary of their first mission –although completely forgetting that date could have something to do with it.
“Brrring! Brrring! Brrring!” The phone rang for the second time in about ten minutes. As before, the answering machine took the call. The same awkward outgoing message was told and a moment of silence followed.
“Wow, I didn’t know your answering machine eloped with your freezer! By the way, what does ‘eloped’ mean? Anyway, Urameshi is telling me to hurry up, so… Koenma wants everyone to meet up at Kurama’s house within (how does he know what that word means?) the hour. Bring Hiei and Kuronue; since we can’t find Kuro he’s probably with your little brother. Those two are almost never out of eyesight. By the way, could your microwave cook this bag of popcorn? I’ll leave it next to the phone. Bye!” Beep! That my friends, would be how Kuwahara got the nicknames ‘Idiot’ and ‘Stupid’.
About five minutes after the last message was left Sam (Pan) Jaganshi came inside from taking care of her and her brother’s horse. When she walked in the kitchen she saw the ‘New massage’ light blinking. She listened to the two messages and went off to find her brother and Brad. Eventually Pan found the boys in a clearing in the woods behind her house and (along with the two best friends) met up with everyone else at the Foxe's house.
The three of them were only mildly surprised to see everyone standing outside talking, but what made them stop and stare was Koenma. He was actually there early, not half an hour late like he usually was! Run! Run while you still can! It’s a sign of the apocalypse! The end is near! AHHHHHHH! All right, so it wasn’t really, but with the look on their faces you would think that it was.
When Koenma saw every single one of his spirit detectives were present he began. “I’m glad to see you all got here without trouble, or causing it.” A stern look was thrown Yusuke’s way; since he was the punk of the group this came as no surprise. “Before everything inside goes cold or melts, I’ll skip straight to the point. There is no real mission. Yusuke, Kuwahara, before you two say anything, let me repeat myself.” Kurama opened the front door to his house, as the toddler continued; this time with a little smile plastered on his face. “There is no real mission, just a small one. Have fun.” Everybody minus Shuichi and Koenma stared open-mouthed at the scene before them, more out of surprise than anything else. None of them expected this.
“What’s the party for Kurama?” Alex asked she was the first one to regain her voice.
“It’s been five years today that we became detectives, this is just to celebrate properly.” The fox explained, a laugh evident in his voice.
“SWEET SNOW!!” Cried the Jaganshi’s and they promptly lunged for the ice cream they long ago dubbed ‘sweet snow’. They ran pass the fizzing soda bottles, mountains of multi-flavored and multi-colored candy, and piles of chips. They never bothered to spare any a passing glance. Alex, Yamaris, and Beth were able to hold off Sam and Yusuke and Kuwahara were left with Hiei. Mainly, the only reason they even caught up with the ice cream driven maniacs was due to the fact that Brad had a small gust of wind blow against the fire manipulators and Shuichi had the vines of the plants on the window sill grab their ankles.
Yusuke, Kuwahara, Alex, and Beth let go of Hiei and Sam when ten bowls of ‘sweet snow’ were distributed, courtesy of Kuro, Kurama, and the Toddler. Every bowl had either vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, cookies and cream, rainbow sherbert, French vanilla, French silk-which is a real flavor-, or (in the Jaganshi’s case) every single flavor there available.
Once finished the Boss took out a box that held a board game titled “Mission Impossible-or is it? What is this Koenma?” Beth asked after she saw threw the box and at what its contents was. She questioned him in a voice that so obviously said ‘what kind of joke is this?’ instead of ‘what is that?’
Only noticing what the ice controller directly asked him Koenma replied, “This Taijiya, is something called a board game.” Seeing the annoyed glare sent his way by Tai, he said what she asked of him. “It’s a game that the people in Spirit World and myself came up with for the occasion.” He explained referring to ‘Spirit World’ as the spirit detectives’ headquarters.
When the game was taken out they all saw that there were many ‘realms’. Among them were the Fire, Water, Darkness, Light, Wind, Spirit, Plant, and Ice realms as well as two other places that seemed totally irrelevant, the ‘Land of eternal suffering’ and the ‘2-D realm’. When the team noticed there were no instructions Hiei took the liberty of questioning this. “Koenma, would you mind telling us how to play if there are no instructions?”
“Well, I thought I’d explain it to you myself. In a nutshell, you’re in a different world. These pieces are you, and this one is a devil or demon that stole an enchanted mirror that grants wishes. You need to apprehend him before he gets to ‘Gate island’ and goes threw the portal on the island and can use the mirror to bring mass chaos to our world. You will all start in different realms, depending on what element you control, in the case of Sam and Hiei; you can pick either one of your elements to start on. The spirit will always start in the’ Land of eternal suffering’. We have made it so that the all pieces will move by themselves once you pick an action card for the realm you’re in and the demon will progress once all of you have picked a card and moved. Easy enough?”
With an affirmation from the group they picked a player –that, strangely enough, looked like themselves- and the game began. Brad went first and his card read, ‘Congratulations, you are now the leader of the Bat tribe and the Cat tribe are your new allies. Go into their territory and say ‘hello’.’ After he read the card aloud his playing piece moved from the Wind Realm to the Cat clan’s territory in the Fire Realm.
The game went on like this for a few hours. Apparently the cards somehow knew whom the player was that was moving. This assumption was proven correct when Hiei got a Darkness Realm card that said ‘Your sister in the Dog tribe region needs your help! You need to get there and save her. Lose one turn to travel to try to get her out of there.’ Indeed, Sam just got sent to the Water Realm and abducted by the dogs one turn ago. Turns went by semi-uneventfully and the demon was still on the run, now in the Ice Realm.
Yusuke got sent to the Land of eternal suffering at some point to get tortured by watching Tellytubbies and Barney marathons. Kuwahara was then sent to the 2-D Realm and was flat for three moves. Alex was next and was sent to the Spirit Realm where the convict was and almost caught him, and then Koenma’s cell phone rang.
He answered it and said to the team, “Sorry guys, you’ve got to end the game. There’s a fox demon that just stole something out of the FBI’s vault, the dangerous one. We need you all to get him.”
A round of groans and a mumbled ‘But I almost got him’ later and the team put away the game and set off.
“Why can’t we ever get a break?!” The spirit detectives cried to the sky.
