Chapter 1: The Mission
A pretty teenage girl sits in Koenma's office waiting to see him. She looks like every other girl with her nearly shoulder-length wavy dirty-blonde hair, light gray blue eyes, and light skin. What sets her apart are the large black and silver scaled wings on her back, curved black horns amid her hair, and silver dragon scales in swirls on her cheeks, elbows and knees, flames on her shoulders, running up her sides, in the space below her neck, on her upper thighs, and lower shins, and crescent moon shaped around her eyes. It's apparent that she's a Danya, a female dragon-demon.
"Alright c'mon in," Koenma calls to her. "Sorry I was making sure we had the information to brief you on your next mission," He says as she enters.
"Okay then. What is it?" She asks sighing. She wears denim shorts, a seatbelt, a black tank top, and brown sandals.
"Well. I should inform you that you're on your own on this first of all," Koenma says.
"Why? Doesn't Yusuke want to help?" She asks looking surprised.
"No. It's not that. They still haven't returned from their last mission," Koenma replies sternly.
"Alright then. What's the mission?" She asks putting her hands on her hips.
"You're next mission is to find and apprehend three criminals who've escaped custody," Koenma says as three faces appear on the screen. The girl turns to lean on the wall and examines them. The first is a gorgeous woman with wavy chocolate brown hair and green eyes, second is a man with auburn hair and dark green eyes, and the third is a young woman with blonde hair and pink eyes. "Nicolette, Amon, and Lyric have all escaped. Nicolette is an enchantress. You really have nothing to fear from her. Amon is a powerful demon and Lyric is a young vampiress. Be careful. " He explains them to her.
"Sounds easy enough," The girl says. She stands off the wall.
"Don't take them lightly, Hope. They are dangerous," Koenma warns her.
"More dangerous than Ruscelia was?" Hope asks. Koenma nods. "If they're that dangerous then I'm going to need help."
"Don't worry. I'll find you some, but you're on your own till then," Koenma says as she walks out. "Besides we don't know if Ruscelia is really gone…" He adds after she leaves.
Hope walks along the dark streets of the city. They are almost silent except for the one bar and the silent hum of the streetlamps.
"Wow. That took longer than expected," She says to herself. "God I hate vampires," She says shivering slightly.
"A bit chilly?" A voice nearly sings behind her. She turns to see a young woman about 5'6"tall with long wavy blonde hair and pink eyes. Next to her is a very muscular man about 6'tall with shoulder-length auburn hair and dark green eyes.
"The park is beautiful tonight," The man says. The girl beside him smiles.
"What do you want?" Hope asks taking a step back and a fighter stance.
"O why do you never want to come quietly?" the woman asks annoyed. She approaches Hope who's frozen in fear. She smiles. "Ruscelia will be so happy to see you," She says as Hope's eyes go blank.
"C'mon, Lyric. We need to go before someone sees us," The man says.
"Yes. Let's go, Amon," Lyric replies. They disappear.
Meanwhile…"Thank you for coming," Koenma says. Two people stand before him. One is a young man with brown hair and amethyst eyes. The other is a teenage boy with sandy-blonde hair and bright green eyes.
"O it's no problem," The man replies with a smile.
"You were already briefed on the situation correct?" Koenma asks them.
"Yeah. The boss briefed us before we came here," The boy replies.
"It's late so I'll give you her address and you can go meet up with her wherever she is," Koenma tells them. "Her name is Hope and she's a Danya," He hands them a slip of paper. They leave.
About an hour later they stand outside a large mansion like home. It looks quite majestic in the moonlight.
"It doesn't look like anybody's home," The boy says.
"You wanna go for a walk then come back?" The man suggests.
"Sure," The boy replies as they turn and leave.
"It's such a beautiful night. She probably went to the park," The man says. They reach the park.
"What's the matter, Hisoka?" The man asks seeing that the boy has stopped in his tracks as they reach the end of the park.
"Tsuzuki, we have to go back," Hisoka replies.
"Why?" Tsuzuki asks.
"Don't ask just follow me," Hisoka says and takes off running back through the park. Tsuzuki follows him. Finally they reach a very large Victorian mansion. "We have to get inside."
"Hisoka tell me what's going on," Tsuzuki demands.
"I can feel her. She's in there," Hisoka replies. "I don't know why, but she has such strong emotions. She's scared."
"Really?" Tsuzuki asks. "Let's go in then," They bust down the old door with ease and start running up the sagging stairs. Small screams can be heard as they reach the middle of the stairwell. They grow the further the go up till they are nearly deafening. They stop suddenly. Without thinking they bust into the room. On the bed is Hope completely naked. Her arms are tied to the bedposts above her. Next to the bed is a beautiful woman about 5'8"tall with black hair down to her butt, ruby red eyes, and pale skin. She's also naked.
"How dare you interrupt," The woman says icily. "Now you will pay," She quickly ties on her sheer black and red kimono and attacks them with wicked flames. A shield surrounds them blocking her attacks.
"You cannot beat her with fire. She IS fire," Hope calls to them. Tsuzuki calls on Seiryu and the woman is soon drenched. She turns into a fiery bat and flees.
"You will pay next time!" She screeches before flying away. Quickly Hisoka goes to Hope and unties her. She sits up looking extremely tired.
"Are you okay?" Tsuzuki asks approaching them.
"I'm a little cold," Hope replies. "I don't know if I'll be able to walk," She laments. Tsuzuki takes off his jacket and wraps it around her. "Thank you," She says softly as he picks her up. She falls asleep.
"Well at least she won't catch cold," Tsuzuki says as they leave the house and head back through the park.
"Who do you think that woman was?" Hisoka asks.
"I guess we'll find out when she wakes up," Tsuzuki replies as they enter her house and find her bedroom. He lays her on one of the beds and sits down on the other.
The first rays of sunlight find Tsuzuki and Hisoka asleep on the other bed and the floor. Hope is still asleep on her bed with the jacket still wrapped around her. Tsuzuki awakens as the sun hits his face. He sits up to see Hope, her eyes are open.
"Good morning," Hope says.
"Good morning," Tsuzuki says. "Did you sleep alright?"
"Yes. I slept fine," Hope smiles sitting up. "Thank you for last night," She gets up and hands him his jacket back. He blushes at her nakedness. She quickly dresses in her clothes again. "I'm sorry about that," She sits back down on her bed.
"We were sent here to help you on your mission," Hisoka says standing and stretching.
"Koenma said he'd get me help," Hope says. "Thank god he did. "
"You're okay with this?" Tsuzuki asks suddenly. "We'll have to live together till the mission is accomplished."
"That's fine," Hope says getting up. "Is anyone else hungry besides me?" All of their stomachs rumble. "I guess so," Hope laughs. "I'll go make breakfast,"
