Summary: (YYH x HxH x HP) (Slight AU) With the rebirth of a dangerous enemy, the newest Reikai Tantei team has to infiltrate the wizardry community to prevent a prophecy from fulfilling.

Prologue
'To listen before you judge … to look at the world through their eyes … to understand what they feel … that is the true form of effective communication and understanding.'
For the past two years since the barrier came down, demons had begun to make their existence known, ever slowly and carefully, to the human race. And, ever slowly and carefully, the humans began to accept them into their complex society and their changing culture. The demons began to adapt themselves to the social norms and would always lend a helping hand, paw, wing, or fin to a human in need.
To assist them in need of help, to guide them when they have lost their way, and to protect them from themselves.
For three years since Enki's right to the throne, this rule was, and still is, the absolute rule amongst all demons. The act of having 'the strong protect the weak' did not appeal to most demons at first, but as they began to understand how the humans were struggling to make the most of their short existence, a grudging respect towards the evolved primates had developed. At the moment, the demons had only focused on Asia, where demons are more accepted.
However, not all demons, and even some humans, did not like the idea of peace. Little by little, rebellion broke out. And, little by little, the situation would be dealt with accordingly.
'Hunters' are known in Reikai (Spirit Realm) as the Spirit Defence Force (SDF), known in Makai (Demon Realm) as ruthless demon killers, and known in Ningenkai (Human Realm) as extraordinary people with special privileges. There are two different types of Hunters: one consisting of spirits with the skill to control their rei-ki (spirit energy), and the other consisting of living humans who have managed to pass an extremely difficult exam. Not many can become Hunters as, with both types, around one in ten thousand examinees can pass the exams.
A year ago, an agreement between the King of Reikai and the President of the Hunter Committee had allowed the living human Hunters to join forces with the spirit Hunters to create a better control over any troubles that may happen in both Reikai and Ningenkai.
For two years, there was true peace amongst the humans, spirits and demons. That is, until the wizardry world brought back the one human who could potentially break the balance.
The wizardry world, a small insignificant society spread across Europe and America, contains humans who had already accepted the existence of demons for a long time. These demons are referred to as 'magical creatures', but were however forced into hiding when the wizards and witches had labelled them as 'dangerous', or were put into slavery because 'they can do what we can't'. This showing of arrogance had lead them into a disagreement with the non-magical people and Hunters, causing such a large riff between the two groups that the Wizards began to close themselves away from the rest of the world, preferring to continue their tradition in an endless cycle. This isolation and cycle, however, has also made the Wizards oblivious to the functions in how the non-magical people have managed to advance in their technology with the help of the advantaged Hunters.
This human, this Wizard, was dangerous and – in every aspect of the word – evil. His dream, his ambition, to rid the world of non-magical people was back on course after fifteen years of avoiding the ferry girls – or in western cultures known as Grim Reapers – but this time he had an advantage he didn't have before. He, on the other hand, is not aware of this, which is extremely fortunate for his opponents.
The forbidden rebirth of a human and his new development has drawn the attention of the authorities in both Reikai and Makai – an unusual occurrence. And, due to certain situations, the universal law of forbidding the dead to interfere with the living directly has created a loop hole.
A loop hole that can start an all-out war between this one wizard and his minions … against the combined powers of other wizards, non-magical people, spirits, Hunters and demons.
However, as with every other war, the slightest change in the balance can cause dramatic differences … and unexpected outcomes.
AN: Thank you for taking the time to read this.
First off, I've never been good at grammar, so can someone recommend me to a good beta reader and a story they have beta-ed? It would be much appreciated.
Secondly, take note that this is a prologue, meaning the chapters afterwards would be much longer. I'll try to make my chapters over 3 000 words.
Well, that's all for now. The next chapter should be up the moment I find a suitable beta for my story ... or if I just feel like it.
