Chapter 1: What Has Passed
I sighed. Paperwork was starting to get to me. It usually did around this time of day.
I glanced up at my T.V. screen to check on my newest spirit detective as he made sure demons stayed out of trouble in the human world.
It had been a century over a millennium since Yusuke had worked for me and his descendants were now taking his place. One son after another. I would have no name other than Urameshi hold the title of spirit detective. Dad didn't like it, but he let it go so long as Yusuke's demon blood remained dormant within the line.
It wasn't long after Yusuke's term that I had rid myself of my toddler form for good.
As it seems, people tend not to take children seriously. Even if they've worked for them for centuries.
I started as an ogre burst into my office, holding up a very familiar file.
"Kaminari, again?" I asked tiredly.
Kaminari was our latest threat to the human world.
As a cat demon, she was very sly and an expert escape artist.
We had no issue thwarting her plans but catching her was another story. She always managed to disappear from the scene.
Kaminari was skilled to the point that we didn't even know what she looked like.
Five times she'd threatened us, five times she got away.
This time, I was calling in an old comrade of Yusuke's.
I took the file from the ogre, "Find me Hiei. We are going to reuest the use of his Jagan."
The ogre saluted, "Sir!"
I called on my spirit detective, "Urameshi, Kaminari has just sent a letter with her latest threat. I'm sending a demon by the name of Hiei to assist you. His abilities should help us in capturing her."
I received an affirmative on the new case.
Settling back in my chair, I awaited the arrival of Hiei.
As it always had been, I didn't have to wait long. I'd grown accustomed to Hiei's sudden appearances and, when he did, I wasted no time in detailing him.
"Hn," he smirked, "Hardly a challenge. And it will be good to see one of Yusuke's descendants."
He disappeared and I relaxed. We would catch her this time. I had no doubts in Hiei's abilities.
I smiled a bit as I thought of how much Hiei had changed.
A couple of centuries ago, he'd found himself a mate and had a set of twins. The century before that, he'd been discovered b Yukina.
I didn't know the details, but when Hiei tried to deny it, Yukina had snatched both their mother's tear jewels from his neck and demanded an explanation.
Hiei had had no choice but to confess.
Yukina had cried and embraced him before beating him senseless for hiding from her for so long.
The changes had started after that.
The ice was slowly melted from Hiei's heart by his sister's love and warmth. It wasn't long before Hiei actually became someone pleasant to be around.
At least he didn't have to worry about Yukina taking another mate.
She had come around to Kuwabara's whims and mated him. They'd had a few children and, when Kuwabara's time had come to pass on, Yukina took a vow never to mate again.
Surprisingly enough, Kurama and Shizuru had taken to each other and married. They had a daughter and a son together. Kurama ended up outliving Shizuru by only a few years after deciding that he did not wish to live on without her.
I tried to smile at the memories, but found it hard. It was lonely sometimes being a separate entity from everyone else. Even Botan had found someone to spend her life with.
I, however, was forbidden to engage myself with women. I was doomed to whomever my father chose to be my wife.
I say doomed because there was no way my father could find a suitable woman for me that was to my liking. We had very different tastes and ideas on what a suitable wife would be.
Feeling a certain frustration beginning to set in, I distracted myself with paperwork again.
It was many hours later when I was interrupted by a loud commotion outside my office.
Seconds later, it was brought inside in the form of Hiei and a captive.
"Koenma," he growled, "I believe I've captured your Kaminari."

A/N:
I know it's a short first chapter, but I wanted to make it a filler chapter.
What's happening now and what's become of the former Team Urameshi.
Before any of you start accusing me of not finishing anything before starting this one, I have to say that I couldn't help it.
^,^;
I always thought that Koenma's teenage form was damn sexy and it wasn't until recently that I was suddenly inspired to write a fic about him.
Let me know what you think so far! Reviews and cookies, perhaps? XD Please and thank you!
