Yuseke, Kuwabara, and Kurama ran through the portal with Botan and landed in Koinma's office. The toddler was hot at work behind his desk.
"What gives Koinma?" Yuseke asked.
"I have a Mission for you." Koinma said as he stopped writing.
"Great what is it this time?" Yuseke asked sarcastically.
"My father asked that you handle it." Koinma continued and noticed the shock on their faces. "It's a very top of the line case in which you could very well die." He said. He noticed them all tense up. He looked over at Kurama. "Hiei can not know about this." He said. Kurama narrowed his eyes suspiciously.
"Why not?" He asked with the same suspicion. Koinma held his gaze.
"If it's what I think your thinking then you know why. Koinma said."
"You can't possibly think that she's alive." "Hiei was the one that handed over her body." "He was torn apart when he saw the state that she was in." Kurama snapped.
"As I recall So were you when you handed over the other one." Koinma said.
Kurama glared at him, his calm and collected demeanor had vanished and now a new side had appeared. Rage.
"She killed herself because of me what did you expect." He snapped angrily.
Yuseke and Kuwabara stared at him in shock. Never before had they seen Kurama angry and now that they had it scared them to the core.
"Kurama." Botan said meekly grabbing his hand. He turned and looked at her and sighed.
"I'm sorry." He said.
"It's alright.' Koinma said. Kurama glared at him.
"I wasn't talking to you." He said. Koinma jumped at the coldness in his voice. "So why does your father think that they're alive?" He asked.
"This." Koinma said pushing a button on his desk.
A screen lowered from the ceiling and the lights went out as a picture appeared on the screen. A girl with long caramel hair appeared on it. She had light green eyes and was in a yellow Kimono that had a purple and pink flower pattern on in. In her hand was a lollipop. She was looking in the direction of the person that was taking the picture.
"Wow, she's hot." Yuseke said.
"Yeah, who is she?" Kuwabara asked.
"Erica." Kurama whispered his face pale from shock. "How sure are you that its her?" Kurama asked turning and looking at Koinma.
"Positive, it's almost an exact replica of her." Koinma said.
"It doesn't matter if she looks like her." The question is are you sure that it's her?" Kurama asked.
"Positive." Koinma said as another picture appeared on the screen.
A boy with piercing green eyes was staring back at them. He had auburn color hair with a white headband on his forehead. He wore a black shirt and kahki jacket with a tan cloak.
"Flame." Botan whispered covering her face with her hands.
"You know him?" Kuwabara asked. She nodded mutely.
"Are you sure it's Flame, Botan?" Kurama asked. She nodded vigorously.
"I'm sure of it his eyes are the same as Flames." She whispered. Koinma sighed.
"The missing link is finally found." "I was wondering when he would turn up." Koinma said.
"What do you mean?" Kurama asked.
"Well didn't yyou find it odd that Flame's body was the only one that couldn't be recovered." Koinma asked
"He stabbed himself though." Kurama said.
"Yes and then lit himself on fire." "We found the corpse but there was no way of knowing if it was really Flame or not." Koinma said as a third picture appeared on the screen.
It was another girl but she was different. She had long raven black hair anf stunning blue eyes. She had a cherry blossom pin in her hair and red ribbon and wore a red kimono with a cherry blossom print on it.
"Marina Sanchez," Koinma said "the final piece of the Sanchez trio." "The most wanted demon in both spirit world and demon world. He whispered."
"You want us to go after them." Kurama said. Koinma nodded.
"We mostly want Marina as a top priority the other two will come later." He said Kurama glared at him angrily. "Your all dismissed, your mission starts tomorrow." Koinma said as a portal appeared. Yuseke and kuwabara went threw followed by a hesitant Botan. Kurama didn't move,
"This is why Hiei isn't here." "You knew he'd flip out." "That he'd kill you if he found out you were looking for her, because he knows what it is that you want from her, and he'd do everything he could to protect her." Kurama said as calmly as possible with a slight edge in his voice.
"You can not tell him." Koinma said sternly. "If Hiei finds out Marina could still be alive he'd rip apart demon, human, and spirit world till he found her"
"He'd protect her with his dying breath." Kurama whispered walking towards the portal. He stopped and looked back at Koinma. "The bond between them is incredibly strong and near impossible to break." "He may already know she's alive." He said.
"What makes you think that?" Koinma asked.
Kurama chuckled and shook his head. "The darkness flame of course." He said and stepped threw the portal leaving Koinma a nervous wreck.
