Chapter 2: The New Mission

"Flight number B25 is now boarding, I repeat flight number B25 is now boarding."

The Spirit Detectives boarded the plane for the long 18hr fight off to the U.S. to Des Moines, WA. (Seats: Yusuke in isle seat, Botan in-between Kurama middle seat, and Hiei in window seat.)

"So Botan, you going to tell us about the mission or what?"

"Oh yes, the person you are looking for is a girl that goes by the name Ariel Johnson, she lives in Des Moines, WA with her mother Lori Stambaugh. She is 14 going on 15 here soon. Right now she is not in school but she goes to Aviation High School. Here is a folder for each of you with all here other information."

She hands a very thick folder to each of the boys.

"The problem is that for some reason demons are starting to take an interest in her and right now she has no more family as of yesterday when the rest of her family was killed by the same demon who killed her friends and the rest of her family, basically this demon his killing everyone she cares for."

The boys looked through the information as she explained the situation.

"So this mission is to stop the demon and to find out what is going on with Ariel."

Kurama had been looking at Ariel's picture for over a minute.

"Hey Kurama, what's the matter, you've been staring at that picture for a while now."

"I know her, in English we were assigned to a person from somewhere in America and I got Ariel, I've know her for over 6 months and when we were supposed to have summer break we were to go to America and spend at least 2 weeks with them, so I guess she's going to get an early visit."

Back with Ariel

The young girl, now know as Ariel. Was now outside and walking to her motorcycle. (Her motorcycle is Harley; it is black with a crimson dragon on both sides of the bike. She is also wearing black baggy pants, a crimson t-shirt with a black dragon wrapped around her torso, she is warring black combat boots that go up to below her knees, she is also warring a black trench coat that goes down to her ankles also has a hood attached, has a wallet in back pants pocket attached to a chain which in attached to pants, and she is warring a pair of black sunglasses with a silver dragon on each of the arms. )

"It's not fair, all the people I care about are all dead and I couldn't do anything about it."

Ariel got onto her bike and started it up and drove off to Des Moines Dog House Dogs for some lunch. When she got there her 'favorite' biker gang was there having lunch also and they were eating out on the deck. She went inside through the back door and ordered a Dog House Dog meal (her meal is a hotdog, a bag a chips, a pop, and an ice cream bar.), she then waited for her meal and once she got her meal she went outside onto the deck and ate as far away as possible from the biker gang and with her back facing them.

"Hey look it's the little girly girl."

But Ariel just ignored the leader of the gang because she was paying to much attention to the people who were now ordering their food.

"Who are they; I have never seen them before…hay is that Kurama. I thought he wasn't supposed to be here till this winter, when he had no school and those people he is with look like his friends."

Because Ariel was not listening to the leader of the biker gang, he came up behind Ariel and pushed her out of her chair and onto the ground.

"I was talking to you, wench."

For some unknown reason when he said wench this made her very angry. All eyes were on Ariel as she stud up. (She had eaten everything except for her ice cream bar.)

"Awww what's the little baby going to do? Cry?"

"No, I'm going to kick your big fat ass out of here."

Ariel was now in a defensive position, while the leader just put up his fist and started towards her. Ariel moved out of the way of his fist without even trying to avoid them. She moved behind him and kicked him in the back and as he fell she tripped his feet so that he landed on his face. Once he got up Ariel punch him in the nose.

"YOU BITCH, YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT, lets go boys."

Ariel put her fist down and turned to her audience and pulled her hood down so they could see her face.

"Hello Kurama, I thought you weren't supposed to be here until the winter time and I thought you were to come alone?"

"Well something came up and my teacher wanted some students who weren't able to get the class to come,"

"In other means you brought your friends Yusuke, Botan, and Hiei, I'm I right?"

"I guess you got me,"

"So why are you and your friends here in the first place," Ariel said as she walked to her table and began eating her ice cream bar that she had almost forgotten. If not for the ice cream bars sweet taste and smooth texture. As she ate the others came and joined her at her table. (Square table; in order Ariel in previous seat, Kurama on her right, Hiei next to him, then Yusuke, and Botan on Ariel's left.)

"So what are you doing here and why did you bring all your friends, well except the baboon that has a fascination with cats. I don't think I would be able to tolerate him."

"Well we decided to come early because this was your time off of school,"

"But you are missing your own school time, back at home."

"Well we thought that this was more important and besides our teachers know that we are here."

"Hn…o.k."

Ariel finished her ice cream bar and stood up.

"Well I have to be getting some where so explore if you want, I'll see you later."

Ariel then headed to her motorcycle and took of down the hill towards the park/marina at the bottom of the hill.

"Don't you think we should go after her after all she is our mission?"

"We'll Yusuke that was probably the smartest thing you said all day."

"Why I ought to,"

"No Yusuke you are right, we should go after her."

The gang headed off after Ariel with Hiei in the lead followed by the rest of the gang.
