Red Fox

Ch. 1 The Girl

Koenma sat at his desk as he shuffled through his files. 'Where did I put it?' "Koenma, sir," said Botan, "Yusuke and the others are here." "Bring them in," said the toddler as he stuffed a rice ball in his mouth. 'Ah, there it is!' He picked up a file as the gang came in. Hiei leaned up against the wall and the others neared Koenma's desk. "What is it Koenma?" asked Kurama. "I have a mission for you all," said Koenma as a screen appeared behind him. A picture of a girl showed on the screen, She had long black hair that was dyed red at the ends, her eyes were red, she wore all black. "That is Sione, she's a half-breed, kitsuen and fire, she's called 'Red Fox'," Explained Koenma, "She's a master thief, and fighter. I want you guys to find her and bring her here." "If she's a master thief then why haven't you had us go after her before?" asked Kuwabara. "She hasn't been a threat before, she stole from other thieves and did a robin hood," explained Koenma. "Steal from the rich to give to the poor?" asked Yusuke. Koenma nodded. "Why is she a threat know?" asked Kurama. "I have reason to believe that she is working for a powerful demon. He's an ice demon, and has a long list of allies." "Hn," said Hiei. "You have something to say, Hiei?" asked Koenma. "Why would she work for him is she dose the 'robin hood' thing?" "I have reason to believe that he is holding something over her head," answered Koenma, "She was last seen in northern Greece." "Do you know what she's after?" asked Kurama. "Yes, the statue of Medusa, it is said to have the powers Medusa had." "Turning people to stone?" asked Yusuke. "Yes, now go through that portal and you'll be in Athens," said Koenma as he pointed to a door that appeared out of thin air. The gang shuffled out the door and into the Parthenon. "Where are we?" asked Kuwabara as he looked around at the pillars. "The Parthenon, Athens, Greece," replied Kurama, "Hiei do you since any thing?" "Hn," said Hiei as he left the group. "Is that a yes?" asked Kuwabara with his face screwed up in a puzzled stare. "Come on Kuwabara," said Yusuke as he followed Kurama out the Parthenon and into the Mediterranean air. 'To the right,' said Hiei in Kurama's head. Kurama looked to his right and saw a girl walking in the other direction. She looked like any other random tourist, yet she didn't carry a map or camera. 'You sure?' asked Kurama. 'Yes,' replied Hiei, 'I'm going to follow her, go find Medusa.' 'Alright,' said Kurama, "Yusuke, Kuwabara, we need to go to the museum, where they are keeping Medusa." "What about Hiei?" asked Kuwabara, "Make him go to the museum." "He's following Sione," replied Kurama, "now lets go." The three boys headed in the opposite direction as Hiei fell in step behind Sione. (With Hiei)
He had followed her back to her hotel in Athens; She took the elevator up to the pent house. The girl kicked off her black converse all- stars as she muttered some curse words in Greek. She walked over to her bed where a silky black dress lay.
"Dam him," sighed Sione as she read the letter that was on the bed.
"Sione- meet me at the restaurant for dinner. And wear the dress."
Sione then went to take a shower; not knowing Hiei had been listening to her thoughts as he sat at the window seal. She came out of the bathroom later and changed in to the clingy black dress. Sione ran her fingers threw her hair and it instantly dried. She slipped her feet in to a pair of lace up hi heals and walked out the door.
'Now I can find out who He is,' thought hiei as he jumped down to the ground and walked into the rest restaurant.
Sione walked in threw the opposite door and looked across the restaurant to find every one sitting down, except for one man. He was dressed in black and carried a katana. 'The spirit world must be on to me,' she mused as she walked to the back room where He was waiting.
"Hello Sione," said an icy voice as she entered the room.
"Shove it," she said as she sat down in front of the man. 'You couldn't have used his name could you?' thought Hiei as he seated him self at a table near the back room.
"Are you going after it tonight?" asked the man.
"Yes," replied Sione coolly.
"Then we don't have much to talk about do we," He commented.
"Like we ever do."
"You know you should be a little kinder to me," said the man, "After all you don't want me to do something rash."
"Go ahead and do it, so I can kill you."
'She not working by free will,' noted Hiei as pretended to look through a menu.
"Don't tempt me, Sione," said the man as he stood up. He walked over to where She sat, and turned her chair so that she faced him. She only glared at him with her fiery red eyes. He then grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her into a kiss. Sione kneed him as she pushed him away.
"Do that again and I Will Kill you," She said as she walked to the door. He grabbed her wrist and made her face him.
"Don't forget our deal Sione," He said dangerously.
"How could I, Summor," and she left the room.
'Summor, is that his name,' thought Hiei as he left the restaurant.

It was about 11 o'clock as Sione walked silently threw the museum. She stopped in front of the statue of Medusa. "Aren't you a pretty thing," said Sione to the statue as she touched it lightly, "I'm sorry I have to take you away from you home..." and the statue suddenly shrunk to the size of one inch. She put the statue in a small bag and tied it to her wrist.
'I'd better get this to, Summor, before the Humans find out it's gone.' Sione then jumped out the window she had come in through and landed lightly in the garden. 'The Mediterranean has such nice plant,' she thought as she walked.
"Hold it right there, Sione," said Yusuke as he aimed his spirit gun at her back. She stopped and turned around to face the four spirit detectives.
'The guy from the restaurant,' she thought as she saw Hiei. But she said, "Yes, that is my name."
"Give us the statue," said Kurama as he pulled out his rose.
"No can do boys," Sione said as she brought her hand up to her face, "So I'll see you around." With that she blew a kiss of fire at them. They all dogged it, except Hiei, he just walked threw it.
As Sione ran, she put a little of her spirit energy into the plants so that they would block the path behind her. Then she ran into something solid. 'Shit' she thought as she pulled out a two identical daggers.
Hiei unsheathed his katana and attacked, she blocked. "You're fast," she commented as he dogged the attack from her left blade.
"Hn," he replied as he did a forward attack. She jumped out of the way of his blade.
"How long have you been following me?" Sione inquired as she threw her daggers at him.
"Long enough to know, you didn't want to do this..." replied Hiei as he ran towards her as he dogged the daggers. Sione formed a fireball in her hand as he came closer. Then he appeared behind her with his blade resting at the base of her neck. "And that you want to kill Summor, but can't for some reason," finished Hiei.
Sione closed her hand and put out her fireball. She took a deep breath as she closed her eyes. And she started to sink into the ground. 'What?' thought Hiei as he looked at the spot where her feet had been. Then he felt cold metal on his throat.
"You look surprised," she said, "Didn't they tell you I'm also a kitsune?"
"They did," replied Hiei coldly, "Kurama has been keeping that power a secret."
"Kurama?" Sione breathed as she fainted. Hiei looked down at her unconscious form, 'Kurama do you know Sione?'
'What?' replied Kurama in his head as he helped Kuwabara walk towards Hiei's spirit energy.
'She fainted at hearing your name.'
