Chapter 1: Pain
A dark cell was visited by the prince of Rekai known as Koenma. He analyzes the dark cell with calculating eyes. Upon scanning the area, his eyes landed on his target. A girl in her teenage years was bound by shackles and pinned in the wall. Her hair reached her ankles due to long imprisonment. Her body was only covered by a bloodied cloth that clung at her body like skin. He inspected her further and saw her body covered in scars and fresh still bleeding wounds. The girl suddenly looked up to him, he felt a chill climbed up his spine when his brown eyes clashed with dull, cold sapphire and silver eyes.
"What can I do for you prince Koenma?" The girl asked in a hoarse voice.
"As you know, you are supposed to be imprisoned here for another 10 years." He pushed himself not to shudder.
"Yes, I am well aware. But what is the difference anyway? I already suffered 5 years in this hellhole, do you still think it will make any difference if I wait for another 10 years?" she asked with a smile that scared the young prince even more.
"Y-yes and no. You see, there is a barrier that separates Makai to Ningenkai. Some demons was able to escape the barrier and made their way to Ningenkai to slaughter humans." Koenma explained while trying his hardest not to run away from the seemingly emotionless girl.
"And what is your point Koenma-sama?"
"A-ahem, well, because of that, I hired and made the spirit detectives. And father informed me of your capability of slaughtering a thousand demons with a single strike." He was now shamefully sweating despite the cold atmosphere in curtsy of the girl.
"And you suggest me to join your so called detectives?" She asked, her smile still not faltering
"Y-yes if you imply it that way." He stuttered, and Koenma prince of Rekai never stuttered. Well, maybe just this once.
"How are you sure that I would not betray you? After all, I should despise you and your father for throwing me in here. Are you certain I wont kill you? And I am certainly capable of killing you." She asked with threat quite visible in her voice.
"W-well m-my father t-trust you a l-little." He was seriously freaked out right now.
The girl sighed before looking up once more at the small prince floating in front of her.
"Fine, you have my word. I would certainly like to step outside."
"Before releasing you, may I know at least your name?" he managed to calm down a little.
"My name is Kagome. Higurashi Kagome, Koenma-sama."
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!
"What the hell do you want now toddler!" A man with sleek black hair shouted while flinging the door to Koenma`s office.
"Yusuke! How many times do I need to tell you to never call me toddler!" Koenma fumed.
"Yeah, yeah whatever." Yusuke replied while dropping his butt on the nearest sofa.
"What do you need as for Koenma?" A red-haired asked.
"Ah, thank you for reminding me Kurama. You noticed that demons are more and more frequently attacking Ningenkai." Koenma began.
"Of course we know." A man with elvis-hairstyle said with annoyance visible in his voice.
"And father said that you need help." Koenma explained.
"What? We are a hundred percent capable!" Yusuke protested.
"What do you mean a hundred percent? You might want to think what happen last time!" Koenma shouted with frustration leaking from his voice.
"Hey! Its not our fault that snake demon manage to swallow a whole human before we get there! We just got back from fighting a giant moth for Kami`s sake!" Kuwabara insisted.
"That`s my point! To prevent it from happening again, I already fetched your new partner." Koenma said
"Where is he?" Kurama asked politely.
"He is already here." Hiei said, clutching the hilt of his katana.
"Ah yes, Kagome you can show yourself." Koenma ordered.
A girl just about their age stepped out of the shadows, her ankle length hair in a tight braid gently swaying behind her. She was wearing a black long sleeve buttoned shirt with black slacks finished by black combat boots. What caught their attention was her eyes. Her left eye is deep sapphire while the other one was silver in color, but the coldness was what made them shiver.
"This is Kagome. She will be your new teammate that will help you in your missions." Koenma introduced.
"A girl?" Kuwabara asked.
"Feh, she`ll be just a burden." Yusuke smugly said. Koenma`s face turned into those of fear an horror.
"Yusuke! Never say that wo-" Before he could warn Yusuke, he found Yusuke pinned against the wall.
"Never use that word in my presence. And I highly know I can slit your throat in mere seconds. You`ll see your own self being a burden in the battlefield." She spat with venom dripping from her voice that even Hiei felt uneasy. She let go of Yusuke and let him fell in his butt.
Yusuke stood up rubbing his bleeding neck.
`Damn! She`s stronger than I though.' Yusuke made a mental note to himself to never piss this girl.
Before the detectives can programmed what just happened, a loud beeping noise erupted across the room.
"It appears to be a demon. It`s located at an abandoned park in Tokyo." Koenma sent them a meaningful glance.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. We know, we know. We have to go there and eliminate the demon." Yusuke said annoyance visibly dripping from his voice.
Botan opened a portal to Ningenkai, the last one to went through is Kagome. But before she can dive in, Koenma said something, more like a request.
"Kagome-san, we trust you so please don't kill them." Koenma begged, which was returned by a cold artic stare before Kagome fully dove inside the portal.
When the spirit detectives came, a huge demon with armor like skin was rampaging at the park scaring the shit out of those people shamelessly running or cowering at the demon.
"I want to finish this quick." Yusuke fired his spirit gun. They, minus Kagome and Hiei, gasped at the outcome. The oh so powerful spirit gun of the well known (yeah right.) Yusuke Uremeshi, was completely deflected by the armor like a stupid ball that bounced off a damn wall.
"THE FUCK IN THE WORLD HAPPEN?" Yusuke fired his spirit gun once more and the same effect was seen. This time, Kurama took out his rose whip and lunged at the demon. He slashes at the demon, but like Yusuke`s attack, it was rather useless.
"My turn!" Kuwabara took out his spirit sword (Is that what u call it?) and tried to stab the demon, to his horror, the armor didn't even suffer a dent, the demon, seemingly pissed off right now, backhanded Kuwabara that sent him back flying at his friends. Before even Hiei could attack, a blur lunged at the demon with a neon like whip. With a blink of an eye, the demon was cut in half before turning into dust. The blur turned around revealing a seemingly cold, emotionless Kagome with a glowing whip like protruding from her finger.
"Woah." Yusuke uttered in disbelief. The spirit detectives were still shell-shocked including Hiei.
~So fast, even faster than you Hiei.~ Kurama said to Hiei via mind link.
*Ha! You got yourself some competition spit fire! And Red! Let me out! I wanna talk to the vixen!*
-Shut it fox. Yes, I am surprised by her speed and power, but she is just like those onna who act like they are in pain just because they suffer something. They do not know what suffering means.- Hiei said unknown of the stranger listening to their mind link.
Kagome secretly turned her stare to Hiei not knowing that pain was shown within her eyes. Upon seeing this, Hiei didn't know why but a pang of guilt hit him like a speeding truck.
A portal opened for them to report back at Koenma. As usual Kagome was the last one to enter the portal, the scene that they witness was definetly not what they expected to see. A yokai with silver hair and amber eyes, that is now red due to anger was in front of a shaking Koenma. Kurama and Hiei bowed down in one knee, leaving Yusuke and Kuwabara confuse.
"You will tell me where you took my imouto!" The youkai shouted. The yokai who was now shouting at the dead pale Koenma, was none other than the great ruler of Makai, Lord Sesshoumaru.
Much to the surprise of people in the room, Kagome gracefully walked behind Sesshoumaru.
"Aniki, please do not scare him to death, I am right here." She said with a hollow voice that Sesshoumaru quickly spun to face her, the red quickly leaving his amber eyes.
"Kagome." And to Hiei and Kurama`s surprise, the known ruthless Lord of Makai hugged the new addition of the spirit detectives. And to add more to their surprise, she hugged him back. He turned to Koenma who visibly flinch.
"I will take my imouto back to the castle." Hiei and Kurama`s eyes widened.
~D-did he just say imouto?~
*Well, if I remember correctly, I think I heard her call him aniki.*
-See, I told you, she`s another pampered princess. Her life is perfect with no flaws. Tch.- Hiei cant help it but feel annoyed.
All demons in the room was suddenly brought down by their knees (except for sesshy) when a huge amount of reiki suddenly leaked out.
$Dont talk as if you`ve known my entire life hybrid.$ A deadly calm voice joined their mind link. Both demons looked at Kagome. Kurama visibly gasped while he simple stared in shock. Her eyes were cold, hollow. No emotion was visible except for pain, betrayal, hatred and most of all, sadness.
~Her eyes.~
*Their even worst than Hiei.*
Hiei can only stared in silent shock as beads of sweat made their presence between his brows.
"Let`s go Aniki." And with that, they both disappeared into a portal Kagome herself made.
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
JUST A SIMPLE GOODBYE….
~JA NE!
