Chapter Two: To Freeze a Detective But not a Fire Demon
When they made it through to the other side of the portal, the bubbly Grim Reaper was there to greet them. "Well, hello there boys and a warm welcome to you, as well, Koori," Botan said with a catish smile.
"Who the hell are you and how do you know my name?" Koori demanded as she fought against the pint-sized fire demon's grasp.
"DAMN IT! Let me go!" she yelled furiously.
Botan grinned. "She resembles a certain hot-tempered demon we all know, right, Yusuke?" She turned to the Spirit Detective behind her, who was currently on the floor laughing with Kuwabara.
Koori and Hiei shot the exact same glares to the laughing humans. This made the two laugh harder and even made Botan giggle.
"They're exactly the same! Better not let them date!" Yusuke commented as he gasped for air.
Koori finally broke away from Hiei, marched over to Yusuke, grabbed him by the collar, and lifted him into the air. "Why in the hell would I date a weak, pea-sized demon like that munchkin over there? You would be lucky if he could kill a small human child!"
Hiei unsheathed his katana and had it at the snow leopard's throat in two seconds. "What did you say, you fool of a kitten? You will eat those words!" The fire demon then smirked as he compared heights. "Besides, you are shorter than me."
At this, Yusuke's laughter was uncontrollable as was Kuwabara's.
"Someone's finally shorter than shorty!" Kuwabara announced between chuckles.
Botan couldn't hide her laughter.
Kurama chuckled lightly and Koenma—who had been watching the scene with an amused expression—was on the ground laughing, tears flowing from his eyes.
At this point Koori's temper had reached its limit. She slammed her blade into the floor and smirked as everyone and everything became encased in ice.
Koenma's assistant, George, walked in after a few moments. He looked around the room, then at his frozen master. "Lord Koenma, sir? What happened?"
Koenma had icicles for tears as he pounded the ice. "G-get m-m-me OUT of h-here!" the prince cried.
George looked around again seeing Yusuke shivering as well as Botan and Kuwabara. Kurama was rubbing his temples. There was no sign of Koori or Hiei. "Right on it, Koenma-sama!" George exclaimed as he ran from the room.
He returned a few seconds later with an ice pick and began to chistle at a very panicked Spirit prince.
~Meanwhile~
Koori ran through the castle trying to find a way out. "How big is this damn place?"
Hiei was flitting close behind her. Once he was close enough, he grabbed her from behind and started back to Koenma's office.
Koori blinked quickly and fought against him. "How in the hell are you not frozen?" she exclaimed.
Hiei smirked. "I'm part Koorime," he explained as he shoved her into the office. "Now, unfreeze them," he commanded.
Koori sighed and with a wave of her hand the ice melted.
George blinked, the pick frozen in mid-air.
"Put that thing down, ogre!" Koenma commanded, panic written in his eyes.
"Sorry Lord Koenma-sama."
Yusuke sneezed. "Damn cat!"
Koori shot Yusuke a sharp-daggered glare. "Don't call me cat; the name's Koori!" she shouted.
"But Hiei called you kitten and you didn't get mad," Kuwabara pouted.
"Aww, I think it's cute!" Botan cooed. She backed away and hid behind Kurama when she saw Koori's glare. 'It's so familiar,' she thought, gulping.
Hiei smirked, strangely satisfied. Then, remembering why he was there, he turned to Koenma, his smirk becoming a scowl. "I am finished with this mission, baka toddler."
Koenma got serious. "I'm afraid you're not. I want Koori to stay with Kurama and I need you to stay with them too. Your Jagan eye would be very useful in this situation. And Koori needs protection and someone to keep her from running," the prince explained.
Hiei growled. Koenma gulped. "Of course, you'll be switching out with Yusuke and Kuwabara but I'll expect you to stay wary of danger," he added quickly.
Koori gave the young prince a death glare. "Why the hell do I need protection? I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself."
"Koori, your parents angered a really powerful demon named Kaito," Koenma started. "Now he seeks revenge on you, their daughter."
Koori growled. "So you're telling me that I am going to have to be around either Foxboy and Firefly, or Slick and Doofus all the time?"
"Hey! Who are you calling a doofus?" exclaimed Kuwabara. Yusuke grinned, about to respond when Koenma dismissed them, ready for them to be gone.
Everyone slowly walked out of the prince's office. "So I hope you don't mind, but I'm out of here," Koori said before running off again.
"Hiei, go get her…" Yusuke whined. Hiei gave the detective a glare that seemed to say "I'll kill you" before going after the snow leopard.
