This was one of my first fic which I wrote purely to establish and work on my style. I never thought it was good enough to be published so i ended up leaving the text unfinshed. I have now decided to publish it and see what kind of response I'll get. You will probably find loads of grammar errors and the plot is not as origional as I would like to be. I will say that my OC in this fic is one my favorites, and is much different from my usual creations. You will notice some devices and stlyes used here that I have exerted from my other writings. Anyway, enjoy and please review. -Stonehenge

Chapter 1: Briefing
Heie walked slowly through the park along the stone path. He stopped for a moment and gazed at the birds bathing in the pond. He observed them move in and out of the water, and then fly away all at once. He sighed and continued walking. He approached a bench along the side of the path. Sitting on the bench was Kurama reading a news paper. Hiei moved along side the bench and stopped. Not turning his head or saying anything. "I thought I'd find you moving through here." Kurama said blankly.
"Hn, Did you?" Hiei responded.
"So you've heard then?"
Hiei sighed and turned his head toward the ground. "I will never understand theses constant meetings and briefings."
"It is, at times, necessary."
"I suppose."
Kurama put the paper down and walked along side Hiei through the park until they reached Yusuke's house.
"Always," said Hiei and opened the door and Kurama followed. Yusuke Kuwabara and Botan were already there sitting on the couch.
"Finally! They've arrived." exclaimed Yusuke in his usual sarcastic tone. "Now that you two are here we can get this meeting done and over with."
"Hn" was Hiei's only response as and Kurama took a seat.
"I for one, am with Yusuke on this one guys. This stuff is boring." said Kuwabara.
"Well, If you are all done complaining maybe we can get this done sooner. You all waists so much time." It was Koenma. Everyone turned to see him standing there in the middle of the room. "So now let's get down to business. You all remember that club that was stealing souls you busted up a few weeks ago?"
No response.
"Well it turns out that club was only a part of a wide international network of clubs that have recently begun stealing souls." He stopped to find that everyone was paying little attention to him speaking. He became enraged. "When the clubs steal souls they send them to multiply locations. And rather than take each location out one by one…….."
"You want us to find and remove the center of all this" spoke Kurama.
"Well that's kinda obvious." Yusuke stated.
Koenma cleared his throat very loudly and began, "Though the souls are sent to multiple locations the majority converges in one city."
"And which city might that be?" Hiei asked.
"Dublin, Ireland."
"What!?" exclaimed Yusuke spiting out his drink all onto the rug.
"Ireland?" Botan said in a very confused manner.
"Interesting." Kurama said.
"Why Ireland. Of all places." Yusuke said flatly.
"Is there even anything there but potatoes?! Kuwabara asks desperately.
"Idiot," Hiei cut in, Ireland may be small, but a great deal of demonic activity takes place there."
"It seems we will have our work cut out for us." Kurama said
"Oh really?" said an annoyed Yusuke. "Great. Now we are going to spend weeks in the land of the green potato eating shamrock people."
"Shut up!" Koenma yelled "And yes, Ireland. I suggest you all brush up on your English skills for you all will need them."
"Is there anything else Koenma?" Everyone turned toward Kurama as he spoke, "Any leads one which club is the target in the city?"
"Unfortunately no. Any contact I dad in that area has gone missing very recently."
Koenma said in a disappointed tone.
"Well that is just peachy." Yusuke sarcastically, "Talk about trying to find a needle in a hay stack. Why not just send us in there blind folded. I might be easier."
"Why don't you find some information? You're a detective aren't you?!" Shouted Koenma while holding Yusuke's throat shaking him violently.
"Calm down." Botan spoke up. "I'm sure we will all be able to find the bar within a week or to.
"Well." Koenma began while striating him self out. "The plane for Dublin leaves in thirty-six hours. Be ready"
He then disappeared with out a trace. Yusuke put his head back and yawned, "When will it end?"
Hiei, tired of all that nonsense got up and stood by the door. "I will meet you all at the air terminal." He then stepped out of the door and left.
