Me: glare shut it, Jaganshi.

Hiei: smirk

Me: Read and review.

Chapter one: Dun dun DUN! The mission

We find the boys waiting in Koenma's office for said toddler doing various things. Yusuke and Kuwabara were wrestling on the floor. Kurama sat in a chair on the sidelines reading a book, only looking up from the occasional yelp of pain from Kuwabara. Hiei was just……being Hiei.

"I wonder what binky breathe wants now." Yusuke wondered aloud, pausing with Kuwabara in a headlock."

"It must be important to call us in himself instead of Botan coming to get us." Kurama answered in his 'ha-I'm-so-much-smarter-than-you' way of his. Hiei 'hn'ed.

"Hn. Then what's taking the toddler so long to get here?" He scowled irritably. Then, as if some magical force called his name, Koenma appeared.

"About fucking time Koenma!" Yusuke shouted, releasing Kuwabara. Kuwabara fell to the floor with swirly eyes. Everyone sweat-dropped. "Eh heh, my bad." Yusuke said, grinning. Koenma turned to Kurama.

"I trust you'll brief Kuwabara later?" Kurama nodded and closed his book. "Good. We can't wait for him to wake up. Have any of you seen Botan?" All able and willing shook their heads.

"Not since that pointless party she threw last week." Hiei said coldly, scowling. Koenma sighed.

"I was afraid of that. That's because she and three other girls were kidnapped. You know two of the other girls. Keiko and Yukina." Hiei growled dangerously and Yusuke's fist clenched. "The fourth girl we have close to no information on, and the reason why she was taken is unclear. However, what we do know is that if they gain control of her powers, you boys will have your work cut out for you."

"So where are they?" Yusuke said through clenched teeth. Koenma motioned to an ogre and the ogre ran out. A screen came down and on it four blocks appeared at the top. In the first three blocks were pictures of the girls. The last one was empty.

Beneath the four blocks, an image of a desolate burned down forest came up. The ground was grassless and burned. Charred branched from the few trees there was scattered loveless along the floor.

About 200 miles away, a crumbling castle came into view. The parapets were decaying entirely and vines wove in and out of the cracked stone. Only one tower out of four was intact. All the other towers were rubble.

"The ruins of Mazora's castle." Kurama whispered. "Can you give us a better idea of where they are?" Koenma shook his head no.

"A shield of some sort surrounds the castle. It isn't a physical shield, just a spiritual one. You can walk right through it, but if Yusuke shot his spirit gun into the air, the shield would absorb it and direct its energy to the demon creating the barrier.

"Spirit energy can be used inside and out, but can't be transferred in between. I've already tried to contact Botan through her compact, but it's either destroyed or I can't get a signal through."

"So Botan won't be able to make a portal back to Spirit world until we get out of this force field?" Kurama said thoughtfully. Koenma nodded.

"Precisely. It won't be enough to simply find them. You've got to get out of there as well, and if possible, kill the demon that kidnapped the girls."

"And who's the bastard that took them? You know, just to make sure we kill the right guy." Yusuke said.

"Or brutally murder him, if he hurts Yukina." Hiei growled. Yusuke grinned evilly and nodded. Koenma shrugged.

"We don't have the details, like his name or what kind of demon he is, or his rank. But he must be strong, and have some psychic abilities to maintain that barrier. Just avoid your spirit attacks." A portal appeared beneath the boys, sending them down with a surprised yelp from Yusuke. "Good luck, detectives!" Koenma called through the portal.

Me: Okay, that's the first chapter for my first story. Review please?

Kurama: Flames are welcome.

Me: Oh yes. Flames will be used to make the deliciousness known as S'MORES! Mmmm…..s'mores. So keep them coming guys!!
