A New Mission
Kurama's POV
The day started out like any other would. I woke up and got dressed like any other boy my age would. 'Things have quieted down considerably in the last few years.'
The day passed by without incident until…
"HEY FOX BOY!"
"Yes Yuske." I answered more out of obligation than true reason.
"Koenma came by today. He asked that we volunteer for a mission… but it is mandatory"
"How interesting," I drawled, "I had previously been under the I impression that volunteer meant you had a choice in the matter"
"Silly Me!" 'It was a very childish comment, but it was rather annoying to think that the boy would assume to boss me around.'
"No worries. It's just some girl this time. We will be in and out without a scratch"
"What was that!" Of course, Botan chose that moment to appear. 'I wonder if perhaps she just hangs around waiting for him to make a snide remark.'
(Skipping the inevitable argument of male verses female, which I heard but did my absolute best to ignore.)
Botan filled us in on the specifics of our assignment.
Apparently a woman was going around stealing swords, from worthless to priceless. Koenma and Botan had no idea why, and they did not want to wait and find out.
"Oh this sucks. Keiko and I have a date tonight." 'I already know where this is going'
"Don't worry, I'll do it myself."
