Tucked away, down a fairly long dirt driveway, an old, white farmhouse sits in the shade of a massive oak tree. This day is hot, with a slight, gentle breeze. Dragonflies and grasshoppers buzz into the air occasionally, and a mocking bird calls in the distance. The land looks peaceful, and horses graze in one of the many pastures near the house. Their bellies are fat and the foals sleep in the grass, too tired to play. The only thing disturbing the peaceful scene, besides the occasional growl of an automobile, is a horrid blare of music coming from an open window. There a girl sits, her wet black hair tied sloppily at the nape of her neck. Her eyes where green and happy, which she was now as she screamed to the speakers. Her mother wasn't home, meaning she had no worries.
She was in her own world now, withdrawn in the place where she was most happiest. Here in this world, she was free. Free and relaxed in the electric beats as she surfed the endless electronic world. Free to think and hack.
She glanced out the window, still singing. Unknown to her, a shadow watched from within the closet tree. Even if her music wasn't on, and she knew he was there, she would have never found him. He was too well concealed for that.
What she did see was the sun setting. It's light casting pink everywhere. Even the horses had the pink illusion. It was like something in a fairy tale.
"It's pretty," she thought to herself. She made a mental note to draw that later, and turned around back in her seat. Her fingers grabbed the volume control and turned-up the speakers even louder. The words booming from the computer, her own voice droned by the louder noise. She continued her hacking as she sang, still unknown about her watcher.
The shadow sat in his concealed spot, eyeing the girl and the pictures in his hand. He found the music incredible annoying. It broke his concentration too much.
He watched as she turned to look out the window whiling catching his first real glimpse of her. This was the girl for sure. He was glad that he could finally leave and not have to stay for hours listening to her irritating music. Suddenly, with a quick blink of an eye, the shadow vanished, leaving her back in her own little world, surfing through the endless sea of technology.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Koenma," a gruff voice spoke into the large office.
"Yea hurry it, I'm busy."
"It's the girl."
Suddenly, there was a sound of papers dropping and scraping the floor.
"Are you positive?"
"Why else would I tell you I found her?" he growled.
"Chill it. Where's Yusuke and the others?"
"Sleeping, I suppose." There was slight sarcasm in the tone.
"Go get them then meet me back here."
The boy with spiked hair and crimson eyes, nodded then turned swiftly on his heel and left. Koenma watched him leave and thought a moment. Then he yelled for Ogre to pick-up the papers that littered the floor. Ogre whined until a hard kick slammed against his rum.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Julie Andrea Smith was nearing the age of sixteen. It was August now, and her birthday was Septmeber 20th. Only a few months to piddle and school would start soon. That would make the weeks pass. She was glad that her summer was ending. Soon she would see her friends, take-up drama, and only see her mother on occasions. But right now, she wasn't thinking about school or friends or her birthday. She was thinking about how comfortable her bed looked at the moment. The clock ticked 12:00. Sleep seemed like a good agenda.
But first she had to get ready for bed. She went to the bathroom, brushed her teeth, and washed her face. She changed into her pyjamas-they were dark purple pants with a matching tank. The tank had a sliver moon on it- and crawled into the warmth of her comforters. It barely took her ten minutes to fall sound asleep. She'd had an exhausting day.
Outside, the boy with spiked hair nestled himself into a tree. He watched as her silhouette move behind the closed curtain. After a few minutes, the lights turned out and all was quiet. Her breathing soon became slow and laxed. She was deep asleep.
Swift as lightening, he leapt soundlessly from the tree and over the hurricane fence. After making sure he was out of earshot, the boy fumbled inside his jacket and retrieved a small compact. He opened it, revealing a screen with a picture of a cheery women in her 20's. She had baby blue hair, pink eyes, and a pretty face. The women was smiling at him.
"Hello Hiei, what's up?" the picture said.
Hiei didn't smile back.
"Botan, send Kurama and Yusuke over," he ordered.
"What about Kuwabara?" she asked.
"Kuwabara's too loud. He'll ruin the mission. It's night here, and she's asleep."
"O ya…I guess so! I'll send them over! Over and out!" she gave him smile and thumbs-up good bye, and the screen went blank. Hiei closed the device and returned it to its pocket. He looked to the sky just in time to see a brief, green flash above him. Two figures appeared in the air, and began descending. One had black hair, and the other had red.
"Keep quiet," he whispered as soon as they had landed. The two nodded.
"Which room is she in?" said the red haired boy. This was Kurama.
Hiei pointed towards the room in the back section of the house. "We're in luck. The backdoor is unlocked so it'll save me the trouble of breaking it."
The three started walking towards the house.
"Don't wake the dogs," Hiei warned.
"Great…" Yusuke muttered. He was the black haired boy.
The room was small and a tight squeeze for the three. Their only light source was the glow-in-the dark stars that covered the room. It created the look that they had just stepped into the center of the universe. To their right was the daybed with the girl in it. She was still fast asleep, along with a cat. It too was sleeping .
"How are we going to do this?" Yusuke whispered.
"Yusuke, shut-up and leave this to Kurama and me." Hiei used his telepathic powers. He noticed Yusuke glaring at him, even in the dark. He would have had an earful if they didn't have to be absolutely quiet.
"Hiei, I think this could be done peacefully. We can carry her to Koenma's, and if she wakes on the way, you can hit her with your katana hilt." Hiei nodded towards Kurama.
"O.k." He replied, and rested his hand near is sword. Kurama nodded back and quietly approached the bed. Yusuke was in the back corner, bored and agitated. Kurama gently picked-up the girl with the blanket and cradled her in his arms.
Suddenly, the cat began meowing. All the commotion had woken it and it probably knew that the boys didn't belong here. It meowed louder, urgent to wake its owner. The boys froze.
"Someone shut that thing up," Hiei hissed.
Yusuke walked towards it, "Here kitty, kitty." he whispered. "Damn, just when we need Kuwabara." He reached for the cat, but it dashed away, down the hall, silent now. "At least it's quiet," he muttered.
"Please just let's get to Koenma before anything else happens." Kurama stood there blushing in the dark. The girl was trying to snuggle into his chest. Her hand was clenching the fabric of his shirt and she was muttering stuff about school. Yusuke suppressed a laugh and Hiei smirked lightly.
The three walked quietly outside, into the night air. It was cool and crisp against their skin. Stars twinkled above, distant and real, unlike the ones in the girl's room.
They took turns jumping easily over the fence and continued to the portal. A twig snap.
"Wait," Kurama whispered, "someone's there."
Hiei eased his hand to his katana, focusing on the figure. The shadows made him difficult to see and he was cloaking his spirit energy extremely well, almost to the point of it not there.
"Show yourself," Kurama said to the shadow while stepping forward.
"Yoko Kurama…" it hissed. The voice sounded like a snake's, slithering through the night. "I've heard of you, bandit. And Hiei of the Jagan… I've heard of you also." The voice sounded amused and snarling at the same time. It glanced at Yusuke and dismissed him.
"What about me?" Yusuke glared at the figure. His fist were clenched. "You never heard of me?"
"Urameshi Yusuke or baka for short," the voice snickered. "I'm surprised that your luck hasn't run short yet, because that's all you have in battle…"
Yusuke clenched his fist tighter. He could feel his anger rising. "O ya!" he yelled and ran towards the figure, "well let's see how much luck you have!"
"Yusuke stop!" Kurama said, trying to keep quiet. All the noise was waking the girl and possibly neighbours. They needed to end this soon and get to Koenma's.
Kurama noticed Hiei unsheathing is katana. With a flash as quick as lightening, Hiei jumped in front of Yusuke and sliced at the figure. It dodged just before the blade made contact.
"Have to be faster Hiei," it toyed.
"Hn," was his only reply as he charged again.
The figure pulled a katana from his clock and blocked the oncoming attack. The two separated their blades and charged again. Sparks flew and their swords glinted in the moonlight. They were moving so fast that the only thing seen was an occasional flicker in the cool air.
"Hand over the girl," it demanded.
Hiei back flipped and landed on his feet. "I don't take request from losers," he whispered smugly. With a sudden burst of speed and a smirk, he made a final charge. The figure had no time to react before his body was cut into several pieces. Hiei sheathed his katana and looked at the remains of his victim. Purple smoke was rising from within the shredded cloak. There was no blood, no body. Just the cloak.
"A puppet," Kurama whispered. "A powerful one at that. I wonder who sent it."
"Hey. I was suppose to fight him,"
"Let's leave. Where's the portal?" He completely ignored Yusuke's remark.
"On the other side of that tree, near the roots." Kurama motioned towards a large oak. "But first Hiei, I need your help," The girl was trying frantically to roll out of his arms. She kept whispering no,no,no. Hiei walked quickly toward her. Suddenly, she snapped her eyes open and gasped for air, like she'd been drowning. She looked up and saw a sweet faced boy with red hair and green eyes staring down at her. It was the last thing she remembered before she was knocked out by Hiei's katana.
