Somewhere in Tokyo….
A girl, that looked not a day older than 17, leaned against a tree. Strands of raven hair dangled in front of her azure eyes as she glared off into the distance at a group of, 'popular,' school girls. She crossed her slender pale arms and closed her eyes. She bit her lower lip, careful not to make herself bleed.
She peeked open an eye to see one of the popular girls walking towards her with an arrogant smile placed upon her constantly operated on plastic face. "Hey Kyoko, what are you doing in a pretty park like this? It certainly doesn't suit you." She commented flipping a strand of dyed blond hair over her shoulder.
Kyoko closed her eyes again and simply smirked, "I love coming outdoors to look at scenery but I must say you're ruining the view with you overly sized head." The raven-haired girl commented dryly.
The other girls walked over to their leader, "Nami you are like so not going to let her talk to you like that! Are you?" Another girl asked. She was actually prettier than Nami, if not more air-headed and ditzy.
Nami smiled, setting her hands on her hips, "No I'm not Haya." Nami took a step towards Kyoko with a clenched fist. Kyoko sighed looking at Nami with a half-lidded gaze. Wasn't she EVER going to learn that she would never beat Kyoko?
Through icy blue eyes Kyoko watched as Nami thrust her fist forward. Kyoko simply ducked, letting Nami's well manicured hand hit the tree with a loud thud. A few obscenities exited Nami's mouth as she rubbed her hand.
Kyoko watched as blood trickled from Nami's knuckles down her finger and dripped onto the ground. Setting her pale hands into her pockets Kyoko walked a few feet away, "Do go clean that up. Wouldn't want it to get infected." She called over her shoulder at the still glaring girl.
Hoshi, another one of Nami's friends, sighed looking off into the distance, "As much as Nami tries she'll never be able to beat Kyoko. And in any case Nami has no reason to beat her. Could it be that Nami is jealous that Kyoko is as pretty as she is?" She thought sighing and tucking a strand of chestnut hair behind her ear. Hoshi glanced over her shoulder at Kyoko through emerald eyes and sighed again, giving a slight wave in a manner so no one else could see.
Kyoko returned the favor as she continued to walk. The sun peeked out from behind the clouds and the raven-haired figure ducked over into the shadows in fear of sunburn.
A few feet away a tall red-headed figure in a blue outfit stared at Kyoko. "Wow… Urameshi, did you see that? She just…Ducked…Wonder where she learned to fight…" Kuwabara said to Yusuke, his eyes practically bulging out of his head.
"Indeed, she also has an odd aura coming off of her." A perky voice commented from behind.
The two boys jumped, "Jesus…Botan don't scare us like that!" Yusuke exclaimed.
Botan twirled a strand of light blue hair around her finger innocently, "But you're the big bad spirit detective! You're not supposed to let little ol' me scare you." She commented laughing a little.
Yusuke grumbled angrily crossing his arms and looking back to Kyoko, "Odd aura eh?" He questioned Botan dully. Botan nodded and looked over to Kuwabara for a second before looking back to Kyoko.
Kyoko stiffened slightly and looked to her left at the three people with an icy gaze before she began walking again, entering a tunnel. Botan smiled, "Yusuke I think you should keep an eye on her. Koenma might be interested in such a person."
Kuwabara rubbed the back of his head, "Well," he began, "Yusuke always skips school and such, and needs to raise his grades. Keiko won't let him skip another day, watching him like a hawk. Why not give the job to someone who actually doesn't do anything?"
Yusuke and Botan stared at him, wide eyed at the fact he had come up with such a good plan. "Why…Kuwabara that is brilliant." Botan said still in a daze.

"No." The word exited the mouth a spiky-haired man who was glaring at the woman before him.
"Hiei please!" Botan pleaded, kneeling in front of him so she was his height.
"No." Hiei said again, giving her a death glare.
"I'll see if I can get Koenma to cut your probation…." Botan bribed. This seemed to work because Hiei's death glare disappeared and replaced itself with a face of thought.
"Fine." Hiei said with a grunt, "I'll follow this…Kyoko…" The demon crossed his arms and looked away from Botan.
Kurama sighed shaking his head, "It won't be that bad Hiei. You don't ever have to talk to her. Just follow her in the trees and watch what she does." The kitsune commented smiling sweetly.
"Hn." Was Hiei's only response as he exited Yusuke's house, leaving the others to talk. He walked alone down the sidewalk, his arms crossed and his eyes closed. "Stupid…why must I be placed with such a meaningless task…." He thought angrily, beginning to growl.
XXXXMeanwhileXXXX
Kyoko stood under a sakura tree, looking upwards at the stars and the crescent shaped moon. She tucked strands of hair behind her ear and looked to her right as she sensed someone walking. "Hm?"
The figure stepped out of the shadows and into the moonlight. Kyoko stiffened a little in shock, "Hoshi? What are you doing here?" Hoshi looked to Kyoko with shining green eyes as she stepped closer to her and leaned beside her against the tree.
Kyoko was a little startled, she knew Hoshi didn't hate her…but for Hoshi to come and hang out with Kyoko was just absurd. "Why are you here?" She questioned her.
Hoshi looked to Kyoko, "I'm sorry that Nami pesters you everyday…." She said kindly.
"Keh…You don't need to apologize for her actions, it's not your fault." Kyoko said scoffing and crossing her arms. This made Hoshi smile a little.
"So you don't completely hate me."
"I wave to you don't I?"
"Well…yes…"
"Then why would you think I hate you?" Kyoko questioned.
"Nami tells everyone you hate everything." Hoshi said, looking down at her feet.
Kyoko sighed and looked to her, "Well Nami lies and she always will…." Hoshi nodded. A shrill sound came from Hoshi's left pocket startling both of them. Hoshi bowed her head slightly as she answered her phone.
"Hello?"
"Where like are you!" Haya's shrill voice rang through the phone so loud that Hoshi moved the phone a few inches away from her head.
"I'm in the park…." The emerald eyed girl replied dully.
"Well….like…Hurry up!" Haya demanded, "Nami is getting angry!"
Kyoko, being able to hear every word growled slightly. She began to walk off and waved to Hoshi, bidding her goodbye. Hoshi waved back, "Haya I'm on my way…don't worry."
Kyoko walked over to the sidewalk and began to head towards her home. Her hair shadowed her eyes. "If only Hoshi and I were….friends….." She sighed.
XXXXXWith HoshiXXXXXX
Hoshi sighed, as she opened the door to Nami's house and kicked off her shoes. "About time," came Nami's bitter welcome. Haya jumped up, "Where were you!"
Hoshi looked at them with a flat stare, "What a warm welcome…" She sighed, "Look I'm sorry….I got sidetracked."
Nami crossed her arms, "Well whatever…" She stated grumpily as she walked back into her living room and sat down on the couch. Haya followed her like a lost puppy and Hoshi trailed behind with boredom.
XXXXXWith HieiXXXXX
Hiei looked down at the picture in his hand of Kyoko that Botan had gotten from Koenma. "Hn……" The demon looked down at the sidewalk from his perch in the tree at the lone girl. "That's her alright…." He said grimly as he began to follow her retreating form. He jumped to another tree, and then to the top of a street-lamp, landing quietly.
Kyoko continued walking, peeking over her shoulder, growling. This went on for about 20 minutes before Kyoko spun around on her heel with and icy glare. "Who are you!" She shouted.
Hiei growled, "oh yeah don't have to talk. Thank you Kurama!" He thought angrily as he jumped down landing in front of her without a word.
Kyoko looked to him, "Listen….If you're going to follow me at least stay 15 feet behind ok?" She said with a sigh, "I know you're a demon I can sense it so don't be so shocked." She finished grimly as she continued to walk.
Hiei, now curious, quirked an eyebrow, "A human such as yourself isn't the slightest bit worried about a demon following them around?"
Kyoko looked over her shoulder at him, "Hiei, I know you have no bad intentions…." She said before continuing to walk.
Hiei gave a glare, "Telepathic are we?" He muttered under his breath, waiting till there was a distance between them before he started walking again.
XXXXWith BotanXXXX
Botan, now in her pink kimono, entered Koenma's office. "Koenma sir what did you want me for?" She questioned as she gave a slight bow. Koenma turned around in his chair to face her, his fingers laced and his eyes closed.
"Botan, there have been strange wavelengths of spiritual energy coming from the city." He began, "They don't seem to be effect anything, and they haven't cause damage. But there are multiple pin points at one time."
Botan tilted her head to the side, "How many at one time Koenma sir?" She asked.
Koenma sighed, "Four. Also something interesting is the fact that after Hiei started tracking that girl one of the wavelengths grew stronger, which leads me to believe that this, Kyoko, may have more than just an odd aura to her. Give this information to Yusuke, and tell Hiei to pay close attention and look for anything strange."
Botan nodded, "Right." She bowed and turned to exit his office.
Koenma sighed as he watched her leave, looking back at the four pin-points he had made. Three of them were grouped together and the other one was obviously Kyoko because it was being tailed by Hiei. "I hope this isn't another catastrophe…." He muttered, putting his hand to his hat.
XXXXWith HoshiXXXX
Hoshi was lying on the wooden floor of Nami's room, staring at the ceiling listening to Haya blabber on about some cute guy she had seen. "We get it he was so cute." She said.
Nami stopped talking, "Um….What are you talking about? I was talking about swimming."
Hoshi sat up and looked to Haya, "Weren't you just talking?" Haya shook her head. Hoshi lay back down, "If she wasn't talking how did I do that….." She thought with a look of confusion on her face.
Hoshi closed her eyes and sighed, "I'm going to sleep you guys…." She stated.
Nami nodded, "alright."
Haya nodded mimicking the girl she dreamed to be like, "Alright." She was rewarded with a glare from Nami, "I mean, ok." Haya corrected herself meekly as she looked down at the floor.
Hoshi watched the scene and sighed before turning onto her side and going to sleep.
