A woman, who looks to be about eighteen, walks down a dark village lane silently. "I need blood…" Her black silk kimono flutters slightly in the wind. Her pale skin seems to glow in the darkness. Her sapphire blue eyes, lids dusted black, seem to glow with a sinister light. She smiles cruelly, her blood red lips lifting to reveal her long, sharp fangs. Her pointed ears, both covered with over twenty piercings each, twitch slightly.
A boy, looking to be thirteen, walks up to her. He looks very similar to the woman; sinister blue eyes, glowing pale skin, fangs, pointed ears, and a black hakama and haori.
He smiles up to the woman. "Got any victims yet?"
The woman nods her head and points to a rather large hut. "A woman resides in that hut… She was widowed by the war and is weak and defenseless… A child lives there also…"
The boy nods. "Right. Thanks sis…"
The woman nods and walks to the hut's entrance and taps against the wall lightly. An elderly woman comes to the doorway. A few words are exchanged, and then the woman in black bites the elderly woman on the jugular vein, knocking her unconscious. The boy slips into the hut and bites the sleeping girl. The two smirk at each other, revealing glistening blood covered fangs, and run gracefully, quickly, and silently towards the surrounding forest.
Koenma turned to his spirit detective team. "These two beings are dark beings, commonly known as vampires. Your case is to destroy the woman. She is also the bringer of death. For her to take a humanoid form… She must be growing more and more powerful… Powerful enough to slip through the barrier around the heavens…"
Yusuke blinked. "I thought-"
Koenma glared at him. "Don't interrupt me Yusuke!"
Yusuke obeyed for the first time.
Kurama stepped forward slightly. "Koenma-sama, how are we to catch this woman if the last killing took place in Sengoku Jidai?"
Koenma sighed. "That is the last time one of our detectives got footage of her and survived long enough to hand it to us… She has basically killed the rest of them…"
Hiei looked at Koenma. "I know her… And her sire…"
Koenma's eyes widened. "H-how? How could you know her sire? She killed Naraku shortly after she was changed! You haven't been alive that long have you?"
Hiei smirked. "Naraku is, or was in this case, my… partner, for lack of better words, when we lived in the Makai… He often told me of his 'beautiful child' and made me follow him when he changed her… I believe her name was Kagome…"
Koenma nodded and handed them each a folder. "You are each to transfer to the school she is attending. Your names, schedules, and anything else aside from uniforms are enclosed. Now get going!"
The guys all sighed as Botan, wearing the female uniform for their new school, opened a portal to just outside of the building.
Kagome walked quietly down the sidewalk outside her school. She looked up and blinked as five people, one girl and four boys, stepped out of thin air. She lowered her head and continued walking, pretending not to notice them.
She bumped into the redhead and acted startled. "Gomen Nasai! I wasn't paying attention…"
The boy smiled kindly, his green eyes flashing gold. "It's quite alright. Just watch out next time."
The short man next to him muttered something about 'baka ningens' and Kagome glared at him coldly. "Watch it Koorime…" She smiled at everyone else. "See you all at school!" She took off at a run, careful to stay at an average ningen pace.
Kurama looked at the girl run. 'You want her…' said a voice in his head.
Kurama mentally growled. 'Shut up Youko. I don't need your input.'
The voice didn't go away, though. 'Hell, I want her… And she's a ningen onna!'
A quieter voice joined into Kurama's mental conversation. 'Youko, you are becoming quite annoying…'
Youko scoffed. 'Shut up, you little prissy boy!'
Kurama sighed and began walking after the girl, ignoring his bickering halves. "Excuse me," he called, gaining the girl's attention. "Would you mind showing us around? We just transferred here."
She smiled, but her eyes remained cold. "Of course I will. I always wind up showing new students around."
Kurama grinned and extended his hand. "I'm Suuichi Minamino."
Kagome shook his hand briefly. "Kagome Higurashi, it's nice to meet you."
'Do something!' Youko shouted in his head as Kagome turned and continued walking.
