A Lack of Information

Yusuke stuffed his hands into his pockets and rolled his eyes. "So what you are saying is that you have no clue who the girl is."

"Exactly."

"Figures."

Boton saw Koenma's eye twitch and decided to step in. "There is absolutely no record of this girl. She has never been a threat or we would know something about her. What did you find out, Kurama? You spent quite a bit more time with her then any of us." Koenma's childish face lost its pout.

"Her name is Higarashi Kagome and she just transferred to our school." He smiled wryly. "I probably wouldn't have learned that if the principle hadn't said it. She wasn't very forthcoming."

"All that charm didn't get you anywhere this time, huh?" Yusuke snickered.

Kurama shot him a look.

"She lives at a shrine about twenty minutes walk from here." Hiei said. They looked at him. "I followed her energy trail with my Jagon."

"So that's it?"

Seven seconds of silence later...

"Since you seem so intent on finding a new case, I brought you one." Koenma said.

Everyone looked back up at the gigantic floating face.

"Good. I was getting bored." Yusuke punched his fist into the palm of his other hand. "What do you got?"

Koenma faded to be replaced by a huge vision of a dark, muscle bound demon. It's claws and horns were as dark as its thick hide. Only its eyes and teeth gleamed brightly. It was hideous.

"Looks like a troll." Kuwabara mumbled.

"When have you ever seen a troll?" Hiei crossed his arms.

"I've seen movies, shrimp!" Kuwabara yelled.

"That explains it." Hiei's smile was malicious at best.

"Hey!"

"It's not a troll," Kurama sighed.

"No, it's a shadow demon." Koenma explained from somewhere above them. "They are large and strong, but suprizingly stupid."

"Sounds familair." Stated Hiei looking at Kuwabara from the corner of his eyes. He didn't take the bait this time.

"They are also very difficult to catch and even harder to keep once you have them." Koenma felt a headache coming on. He replaced the image of the youkai with his own enlarged appearence again.

"What do you mean?" Yusuke asked.

"A shadow demon can move through shadows. If it steps into one shadow it can move to any other shadow in sight. It can even use your own shadow to slip through. The only way to truely capture it is to keep it in full light." Koenma glanced around. The city streets were full of shadows and flickering lights. "That is why it came here."

"So how are we suposed to find this thing?" Yusuke asked.

Koenma shrank down to his normal toddler size and floated above them. "It eats spirit energy. It will be drawn to sources of high spiritual power so it may, in fact, find you."

Kuwabara flinched and stepped gingerly around the shadow of a mail bow. Then he noticed his own elongated shadow moving behind him. He tried walking backwards to keep an eye on it.

"Baka." Hiei said.

"Alright, this should keep us busy for a few days at least." Yusuke sounded cheerful.

Koenma faded a bit and then grew large again.

"Don't underestimate your opponent, Yusuke."

Yusuke snorted. "If it is stupid enough to come looking for us, I doubt it will pose much of a challenge."

"We'll see. It should be getting hungry soon. It's been out for two days now."

"You waited two days to give us this case!?" Yusuke yelled.

"Did you feel that?" Kuwabara asked but no one was listening to him.

"Quit yelling! You're causing a scene!" Boton tried to hush him.

"Yeah right. As if a floating toddler hasn't already done that." Yusuke said pointing a finger up at Koenma.

"No one else can see me, Baka!" Koenma hollared back.

"I wouldn't count on that." Kurama's quiet voice broke in.

"Huh?" Yusuke and Koenma said together.

Standing on the corner in a pool of sunshine, was Kagome. She glanced in disbelief at them, at Koenma, and at them again.

Hiei jerked to attention. The angry look in his eyes was replaced by startlement. He hadn't been close enough to see her face before. He had missed out. He glowered.

"Wow." Koenma said.

She seemed to be weighing her options. She looked them over and glared. Then she shot a quick look over her shoulder and without any more hesitation, dashed across the street and down an alley.

"That was her." Boton said weakly as the sound of the girls footsteps echoed away.

" I think we scared her. Should we follow after her?" Kuwabara asked.

"Hmmm...Let me see if I can gather any other information on the girl first." Koenma rubbed his hand together gleefully and disappeared.

Suddenly, the sound of running footseteps grew louder as someone came running back down the alley she had just disappeared into. Kagome burst back into view. She sprinted right for them her eyes wide and determined.

Kagome gasped for breath and kept right on running. All those strange people she had met today, except for Keiko, and one guy she did not know were still standing in the middle of the path. She raised her arms and waved them away. "Run, you idiots!" she yelled.

They stared at the girl about to run them over in disbelief. When she told them to run, they glanced at one another for explainations no one had.
