READ! Hey! It's me again! Sorry for the ridiculously long wait, I know this isn't chap 13, but I finally realized how bad the first several chaps suck and got the motivation to re-write it. Here's the first one, tell me what you think. :)

Changes: The writing level (Finally XP); the language barrier problem is fixed; extra characters have been removed due to their creators' disinterest; yeah, the whole anime being in here, that's getting fixed; names are getting changed slightly; um.. yeah, I'll letcha know if anything else changes.

:) Enjoy!

"This better be good, toddler, you woke me up," Yusuke said as he, followed by the rest of his team, opened the doors to Koenma's office. Nothing much had changed since his last visit: papers were stacked to the ceiling, whether on his desk or the floor it didn't matter, and Koenma himself sat behind some of these mountains of paper, blindly stamping away. When he heard Yusuke's smart remark, he stopped.

"Of course it is, Yusuke," Koenma said, laying his stamp down and pick up the remote for his 'all-seeing' television. He pressed the power button and as the machine flickered to life, he spoke to his Spirit Detectives.

"I have another mission for you boys and this one's going to be interesting," the tv finally came to life and showed a single picture of a smiling girl with long blonde hair and blue eyes. The picture looked to be taken from the bushes even though the girl was looking directly at the camera.

"This is Chaos," Koenma said, gaining the boys attention once again, "She is one of the most annoying, hard-to-find, murderous thieves out there; always burning down small villages, bars, and anyone who makes her mad. She's also been known to be one of Mukuro's favorite assassins and an assassin for hire. These," he continued, "are pictures of her known aliases."

The boys turned back to the television to see the first picture be moved to a corner and more pictures appeared, filling the screen with a dozen completely different girls. The more the guys stared at the pictures, the weirder they got; some were normal looking enough, with brown hair, others had blue or pink. Others though, were faeries or elves, other 'normal' demons, like a cat, one was a bird-looking thing and another had normal features but was covered in white scales like a snake or dragon.

"How the heck d'you know if these are the same girl? They're completely different!" Yusuke wondered, getting closer to look at each one.

"Oh, they're the same girl, alright. It was only too late that we realized who she was," Koenma said, shaking his head.

"Is she a shape-shifter?" asked Kurama, to him, that was the only viable option he could think of. He looked to the tiny prince for an answer but Koenma just shook his head.

"As far as we know, she just a fire demon. I have no idea how she can be all these different races," he said.

"Hmph," came from Yusuke as he straightened up and walked back to Koenma's desk, leaving Kuwabara to wonder if half of these creatures actually existed. "So what d'you want us to do? Barge in and say 'you're comin' with us,' then throw her in jail or wherever you put these idiots?"

Koenma shrank in his seat slightly, the gesture didn't go unnoticed, "Actually, due to my stupidity, you can't really arrest her."

"What?" came from all four of them. Koenma held up his hand to signal them to listen before any of them could say anymore.

"She's been arrested once, she made a bet with me that if she could break free before her execution, I couldn't arrest her for anything. I stupidly agreed, and believe me, I got punished for it, but she escaped so I technically can't arrest her. But!" he said, as Yusuke was about to yell at him, "You do need a fifth member for the Dark Tournament, yes? If you could somehow persuade her to help you..."

"Why on earth would we want a murderer on our side?! That's crazy!" Kuwabara exclaimed. Yusuke just gave him a deadpanned look while Kurama cleared his throat, gaining Kuwabara's attention. He slightly motioned to himself and Hiei and shrugged. "Oh. Uh. Never mind. But seriously! Do we even know what she's capable of? Or if she'll just kill us when we get there?"

"I do know what she's capable of, Kuwabara, that's why I want you to at least try to talk to her. I don't care if you tell her who you are or who you're working for, if you can get her on your side and maybe even befriend her, she won't leave. I know that much about her. That way, I can keep an eye on her and you have a new ally," Koenma said, leaning back in his chair.

"Sadly, that sounds like a good plan," Yusuke mused.

"Yes, did you think of that or did you have someone else think of it?" Hiei asked, skeptical of the whole situation. Koenma sent him a glare after remembering he was actually in the room. Kurama interrupted before an argument started.

"What if she rejects us on sight? What would be the purpose of randomly appearing if not to arrest her?" he asked, wanting more details.

"I've already sent a letter to her aunt, she stays with her, about housing four exchange students, and she's accepted. You have to at least try. School doesn't start until the middle of August so I can give you until then to 'observe the culture' and 'get settled in'," Koenma explained. He then pushed a button on his desk and started talking in English, "Pheonyx, you can come in now."

"Where is this chick from if we're 'exchange students'?" Yusuke asked, "And what language was that?"

"English, I believe?" Kurama mused.

"How the heck d'you know English? I can understand Kurama getting it, he's a genius, but..?" Kuwabara asked, making Yusuke chuckle.

"I'm the prince of the Spirit World, I know every language," Koenma said, irritated. Just then, a girl with dark red hair, ears and tail walked in carrying a box filled with glass vials. She sat them down on Koenma's desk and spoke in English to him.

"Got 'em! Took forever, but I got 'em," she said.

"Good," Koenma said in English to her, then switched to Japanese for the boys, "These are for you. It's a potion to make you understand and speak English when you go to America. It should last for quite a while. "

The girl, Pheonyx, stepped aside to let the boys through. They cautiously approached and each of them picked up a vial, all giving the new girl an odd look. Yusuke just downed his, Kuwabara eyed his warily and drank, Hiei also drank it with a disgusted look on his face and Kurama sniffed it before he drank. The bitter taste hit them all at once. Yusuke and Kuwabara made gagging noises while the potion made Hiei's face scrunch up in disgust and Kurama shivered and the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end.

"Ugh! What is this crap?! It's nasty!" Yusuke exclaimed, while Kuwabara was still coughing. They all put the vials back in the box, rather quickly.

"Hey, it worked! I can actually understand you guys now," Pheonyx said, laughing slightly. The boys stopped and stared at her.

"What the heck?" Yusuke said, then realized he wasn't speaking Japanese, "Whoa, what?! How?"

"Dude! You're talking in English! So am I! This is so weird!" said Kuwabara.

Kurama coughed slightly, "That was...interesting." Hiei remained silent, not wanting to sound like one of the fools he was glaring at.

The new girl spoke up again, "Now that we can understand each other, I'm Pheonyx, Phi for short. I will be accompanying you to America. I've already met Katie and Sera, so I can act like I know you guys already, cause I've actually been to Japan, but my Japanese is still rusty."

"Who? And who are you exactly?" Yusuke asked.

"Oh, Chaos," Phi explained, "Her human name is Katie, and Sera is also a demon, but I'm not sure if she's of any importance yet. They know I'm a demon, and they know that I know they're demons, but they don't know about you guys. And I told you my name, but I'm a Spirit Detective, just for the American Division."

"There's an American Division?" asked Kuwabara. Koenma rolled his eyes.

"Yes, you four can't do everything," Koenma said, "Now, I suggest you go pack, you leave in the morning."

Grumbling and trying to switch back to Japanese for the time being, the four went to go pack their things for possibly their weirdest mission yet. As the doors shut behind them, Phi started chuckling. Koenma looked at her with an eyebrow raised. She explained herself.

"Their accents are hilarious!"
