Chapter 2 (A Mute and A Telepath)

Kagome stood behind the counter, taking one of the customers' orders before giving them their receipt and writing a 17 on the front of it. Pointing at the screen next to her the customer nodded her thanks before sitting down.

"Order Up!" Kagome took the tray of food before pressing 15 onto the screen. A woman came up and grabbed the food.

"So Kagome, I heard Hojo asked you out again, did you accept?" Kagome looked over to the girl who was cooking. Her red hair was up in a hair net. Her green eyes left the pan in front of her as she deep fried a couple vegetables; never missing a step in her quick movements, she kept her eyes on Kagome.

Kagome shook her head no.

"Kags!" Kagome turned back around and found an 11 year old standing there with a smile, his light brown eyes holding a sparkle of sorts.

She smiled and he gave his order, she took out her credit card and slid it through, unaware of the four that stood watching her. She took the receipt and wrote the number 18 on it before giving it to him.

"Isn't that unfair, to pay for someone else's meal and not anybody else's?" She tilted her head to the side, looking around her in both directions she faced the four and pointed to herself.

"Yes, you."

"That's her brother. Now make an order or leave!" The girl behind her said.

'Ayame...thank you.'

-x-x-x-

Ayame smiled and gave a light nod in understanding at the look in her friends' eyes. She flipped a burrito and looked at Kagome. When it came to the mute girl only one phrase seemed to describe her. An ancient proverb that Kagome's grandmother had said once when referring to Kagome.

'A Talented Hawk hides its Talons.'

-x-x-x-

"I'll have a number 6 deluxe with a Snapple white tea and raspberry and a small tub of ice cream for my friend here." The boy with long red hair and green eyes pointed to his gravity defying black haired friend with red eyes. She looked at him then walked over to the freezer; there were five flavors, and looking at him again she grabbed the chocolate.

"Order Up!" Kagome took the to-go bags and typed 16 onto the screen. A nice man came up with his daughter. Kagome looked under the counter and grabbed a bag of tootsie pops before she handed a cherry one to the 6 year old who happily took it.

"Thanks have a nice day Kagome." He said before leaving with his daughter. She turned and looked at them.

"I'll have a number 2 deluxe but instead of vegetables can I have mashed potatoes?" The one with orange hair in an Elvis hairdo and brown eyes said. She nodded and took it down.

"Also, uh, I'd like a strawberry milkshake." A light blush spread over his cheeks. She smiled and placed it on his order. She pointed at the last one, his black hair slicked back and brown eyes. He had been the one to speak to her first.

"...demon."

Her head turned to the menu above and she looked back at him, holding her arms up to make an X as she shook her head. The one with orange hair hit him in the head before whispering something.

"Heh, I'll have a number 4 with mashed potatoes and extra gravy, I'll also have a coke." She gave a nod then took the red heads credit card. She took their recite and wrote a 19 on it, then gave it to them. They took a seat next to the table her brother sat at. She looked next to her and noticed the ice cream and Snapple. Taking the two items she placed them on a tray before getting a cup and filling it with ice and coke. Then she made the strawberry milkshake and took the tray to the four. They took their drinks and she handed the tub of ice cream and spoon to the small one.

"I never told you the flavor." The red one said.

'What can I say; he looks like a chocolate lover.' Hiei looked up at her and for a moment, she felt as if he could hear her. She turned and headed back to the cash register.

-x-x-x-

'That would be nice, for someone to hear my voice again, I wouldn't mind hearing my voice either. I can't find it though.'

"Hiei, what's wrong?" Kurama asked as he noticed his short friend watch the girl leave their table.

"Hn."

They sat in silence. Hiei was eating his ice cream, the others drinking their beverages, all of them watching her for about 35 minutes before their number was called. Kurama walked up there and got their orders.

It was about three hours later, they had been waiting outside for her since they finished eating, and she walked out waving goodbye to her friend who locked up before walking off in the other direction. She started walking by them when she was pulled into the dark alley way; a hand held over her mouth. She completely froze, her body went rigid. Hiei noticed and opened the mind link to her.

'No, not again, I don't want this, please, why can't I tell them to stop, it hurts. Even though daddy is locked away for doing that to me it still hurts. Now someone else is going to.' Tears started falling from her eyes. Hiei wasn't sure why he did it but he pulled her away from Yusuke who had been the one to grab her. He glared at the detective before holding the girl against him with one arm. Her body loosened and her breathing slowed, her tears ceased.

He felt her fall into a slight slumber from exhaustion and being overpowered by past memories. He picked her up.

"Get a portal." Yusuke who had just been standing there gaping did as he was told. The four jumped through the portal to find a crying Koenma holding his head that now sported a bump and a steaming Genkai.

"Hey hag, what are you doing here?" Yusuke said jokingly only to be punched into the wall.

"Hiei, if you don't want me to take that sword of yours and shove it up your ass you'll hand me my granddaughter." Kurama, Yusuke and Kuwabara's eyes widened.

"Old lady, be grateful I took her away from Yusuke who had been stirring up memories; I think you know which ones I refer to." Hiei said before placing the girl gently on the couch and leaning against the wall next to her.

"Damn it. I just got her out of that depression."

"What, did her old man die?" Yusuke asked; Genkai glared at him, her eyes glowed blue and in an instant he was thrown against the same wall, which now had cracks and indents where he would be thrown.

"If only."

"Ouch, damn it grandma you're walking on thin ice."

"You dimwit, you are not my grandson, my grandson is a respectable little boy, you don't even know the meaning of the word."

"I didn't even know a hag like you had children, who would ever think about doing something like that with you." Koenma shook his head as he watched the blue flash again. He looked at his wall and knew that she wasn't trying to hurt Yusuke, merely knock some sense in to him and possibly knock him out for his last comment.

"Genkai, it's my fault. I had forgotten to tell them about her relation to you and that the girl was a mute." Genkai was about to say something when she heard slight movement coming from her granddaughter.

"Kagome?" She walked over to the couch and got on her knees as Kagome's eye's fluttered open and looked into Genkai's.

'Grandma, where are we? Where is Souta? Is he ok? What about those boys, and that one that pulled me away from the mean boy?' The frantic and frightened look clear to everyone who was watching her. Which was everyone in the room, but only two could hear the thoughts that went through her mind.

"Calm yourself Kagome; you are in the Spirit World. Souta is...Koenma; send Botan to retrieve my grandson." Koenma gave a nod and called Botan in.

Kagome's eyes widened at the lifeless aura around her. She sat up and slowly backed herself to the furthest side of the couch, climbing over the arm and hiding on the other side.

"Genkai, what's wrong with her?" Kurama asked as he watched the girl glare at Botan from around the couch.

"She is scared of Botan, and somewhat angry...for taking her mother away from her."

'She should have taken me instead. It was my fault, not mothers.' Genkai glared and walked over to her before slapping her across the face. Hiei just stared while the others looked on in shock, not understanding why Genkai did that.

"Don't think like that. Your mother knew what she was doing. It wasn't your fault, it was that whore sister of yours, I just haven't figured out how she did it." Eyes widened at her language. Kagome's glare hardened at the thought of her sister; she knew this too.

"Botan, can you retrieve Souta Higurashi?" Botan gave a nod as she stared at the girl that hid on the other side of the couch before disappearing into a portal.

'Her aura is that of death, nothing more than a fairy girl sent to earth to rid the place of wandering souls.'

Genkai gave a frown, but couldn't disagree. That was what Botan was.

"Hn."

"Uh, Kagome. I wanted to ask you a few questions." Kagome stared at the baby before her. She blinked a couple times before laughing soundlessly. She bent down and pinched his cheeks causing a vain to show on his forehead as well as a light blush on his cheeks.

'Our world is run by a toddler, how reassuring.' Hiei gave a small smirk. Kurama noticed but said nothing, Yusuke hadn't moved from his spot against the wall, deciding it safer to stay put and stay quiet. Kuwabara...was staring at her.

'Who are these people?' She thought to herself as she stood up and looked at those in the office.

"Their spirit detectives." Kagome nodded.

'Their names?'

"The red head is Kurama, the dimwit against the wall is Yusuke, the idiot drooling over you is Kuwabara, and the one with spiky black hair—"

"Hiei...Hn." Everyone turned to Hiei who opted to look away. His arms crossed over his chest and a foot against the wall.

"—is Hiei. What did you want to ask her Koenma?" She asked the toddler at the same time informing Kagome of his name.

"About the murder she witnessed." Kagome stilled, she had tried forgetting.

Kagome closed her eyes and told her Grandmother what she knew. "She said that it had to do with the Underground Demon Mob. The name of the victim was Saran and there were two killers. That is all she knows."

"Damn it—" Kagome popped him on the back of the head.

"OW!"

'Language, you're nothing more than 200 years old, give or take a few years. You are still a baby.' Kagome nodded with what she said, agreeing with herself.

"What did she say?" He asked Genkai who was smirking.

"Language, you're nothing more than 200 years old. Give or take a few years. You are still a baby." Yusuke burst out laughing causing Kagome to turn to him and still her movements, remembering what he did in the alleyway. Memories flooded her mind. Tears filled her eyes for the second time that day. No one seemed to notice as they were watching Koenma and Yusuke bicker...well…no one aside from Hiei seemed to notice.

-x-x-x-

'Hn. Why should I care? I don't care.'

~sigh~

'Stop crying, human.' He watched as her head snapped up and she wiped her tears. She heard his voice.

'Who was that?'

'Hn...Hiei.'

'Hiei, you're the one that took me away from that boy.'

'What about it?'

'Thank you.' With that she closed the link, successfully blocking Hiei from her mind.

-x-x-x-

Souta had been walking along the sidewalk when a blue haired fairy girl popped up beside him.

"Huh?"

"Hello Souta, how are you?" Souta stared for a few seconds before walking around her and continuing on his way.

"HEY, I SAID 'HOW ARE YOU', AT LEAST ANSWER."

He looked around and saw no one was fazed by the blue haired girls' screaming.

'Thought so, they can't see her.'

"You're grandmother wanted me to pick you up; your sister is already there." Souta thought about what the hyperactive girl said, wondering where there was before nodding.

"Alright, I'll go, but where are they?"

"Why, there in Spirit World of course."

She suddenly pulled him into a blue portal and vanished.

Both had been unaware of the small group watching them.

"So that kid was one of them?" A gruff voice spoke.

"Yes, but the girl is supposed to be the most dangerous." This voice was calmer and more calculating.

"She said that the girl spoke only lies and that we had to be careful of her deception." Another, cold and smooth voice, told the others around him. The last person didn't speak, merely smirked cruelly.

-x-x-x-

Me: I wonder, I could have made that a little more mysterious. It shouldn't be hard to figure out who they are, if you want to guess. I wonder how many of you can tell just by the personalities I gave in those couple of sentences.

Envy: Like it was hard. Please READ and REVIEW, Saank You!
