Chapter 2

Normal POV

The following morning the entire park had been sealed off. A poisonous miasma had filled a portion of the park. No one could quite figure out why it had appeared. But despite the park being sealed off to the residents a certain demon had sneaked his way in. Once he was close to the miasma he found that he could go no farther. Hiei gritted his teeth in annoyance at how poignant it was. Since he was unable to move any closer to its source he removed his bandanna and his Jagan eye slowly crept open. When it was fully open it faintly glowed with a greenish hue and his bangs that would normally hang over it parted.

Closing his eyes he used the Jagan to see beyond what he could not before. As he searched for the source of the miasma he couldn't help but feel a strange sense of familiarity from it. But he was unsure why. It didn't take him long to find its source of it. In the center of the poisonous cloud it seemed like the ground had been violently ripped open from below. Not seeing much else around Hiei decided that he was done. The glow emitted by the Jagan stopped and his bangs hung back down like normal. After tying his bandanna back on Hiei turned to leave but stopped when he felt a sudden rush. Images of the dream he had the other night filled his mind. Not sure why they would be coming to him now he decided to ignore them and in the blink of an eye he was gone.

As Hiei jumped from rooftop to rooftop he wondered what could have come from the hole in the park. It just seemed too odd that something wouldn't have. What's more is he wondered why the poisonous miasma seemed familiar. Hiei scowled at all the questions that were beginning to form in his head. When he paused on a rooftop he heard some kind of commotion from below. Looking down he saw a security guard chasing someone out of a store. Hiei smirked as he saw the security guard trying his best to keep up with the thief and failing miserably. When Hiei glanced at the thief something about her caught his attention. She had long, dark blue hair. A small scowl crossed Hiei's lips as he watched her turn around a corner. He felt a nagging feeling that he should follow her and reluctantly did so. Leaping to the other side of the street he moved along the edge so that he could see her. She was already much farther then he thought she would have been and quickened his pace. Seeing her turn down an alley he stopped on the ledge to peer over. But to his surprise she was gone.

'Obviously not human, but what was she doing?'

As Hiei stood there thinking it over he heard someone calling his name. It didn't take him long to register who it was. Glancing up he saw Botan flying towards him. When she reached him she floated in place on her oar.

"There you are Hiei. I've been looking for you all morning," Botan said cheerfully.

"Hn."

"Well, I see that you're still as grumpy as ever," Botan said.

Hiei didn't say anything and just glared at her. Botan got the hint and got to the point.

"Koenma wants to meet with you and the others to inform you about a new mission. Everyone is waiting on you Hiei."

With an aggravated sigh, Hiei told her to open a portal. She did so and they were in the Spirit World in a matter of seconds. They walked into Koenma's office and saw the others talking.

"It's about damn time you showed up Hiei. I'm bored as hell here," Yusuke said.

"Hn. When are you never bored, Detective?"

Before Yusuke could reply Koenma cleared his throat, reminding them why they were there. Koenma pulled out a remote and pressed a button. Behind them a large screen lowered down from the ceiling and an image of a park showed up on the screen.

"This, as I'm sure some of you might know, is the park where those small tremors appeared," Koenma explained.

Pressing another button on the remote caused the image to change. It was now a recording of when the third earthquake happened. Nothing really seemed to interest them at first that is until the ground began to crack and large chunks of dirt began to rise and then shortly after they saw the miasma start to leak out. Next they saw a figure crawl out of the hole. When they got a better look they realized that it was a girl. Koenma decided to pause the video there. Yusuke let out a low whistle.

"Damn. She's hot," Yusuke said with a grin.

Koenma proceeded to talk to them about the girl and about what they knew. Yusuke and Kuwabara turned to him so that they could listen better. However, both Hiei and Kurama continued to stare at the girl on the screen.

'You recognize her?' Kurama asked.

'Of course.'

'What do you think this means?'

'How should I know fox? I'm more surprised to see that she's not dead,' Hiei said.

'Let us keep this between us for now until we can figure out what her plan is,' Kurama said.

Hiei nodded, ending their telepathic conversation. They turned just in time to hear Koenma finish explaining what their mission was going to be.

"…In short I want you to track down this girl and capture her. I'd prefer that you don't kill her because we need to know what her intentions are."

"But I can't fight her though. She's a girl! It goes against my code," Kuwabara protested.

"Tsh! Forget your stupid code, fool. In these kinds of battles something as foolish as that will get you killed," Hiei irritably said.

"What'd you say shrimp?! How bout you go grab a stool so that you can say that to my face!"

Hiei merely smirked at Kuwabara's insult, which infuriated the teen even more. Kurama shook his head at their behavior and looked over to Yusuke.

"I'm assuming that you'll have no problem with this?" Kurama asked with a small smile.

"Yeah, yeah. You can leave this to me. I could really care less if she's a girl or not. I'm just hoping she puts up a good fight," Yusuke said with a grin.

"That's fine. I don't care who or how you do it. Just don't kill her," Koenma said.

"I heard you the first time pacifier breath. But how are we supposed to find this chick anyway?"

"You'll have to figure that out on your own, Yusuke. How about you try investigating a little," Koenma said, annoyed.

With that done he told Botan that she could open a portal for them now. She did as she was told and Yusuke and Kuwabara were quick to leave. Kurama and Hiei stepped through at a calmer pace. Once they were all back in the Human World they went their own ways. Yusuke and Kuwabara had decided to stick together for a while whereas Hiei and Kurama went who knows where. Deciding that the park would be the best place to start Yusuke and Kuwabara headed there. For the rest of the day they wandered in circles trying to find any clues that would lead them to the girl that they were searching for.

"This sucks!" Yusuke yelled to no one in particular.

Both he and Kuwabara trudged along with no real destination in mind. The sun was beginning to set and both were tired.

"Can we call it quits for today Urameshi?"

"Yeah. I didn't think we'd find anything anyway. I mean, how are we supposed to find one person with no leads in a damn city."

Night had come quickly and Hiei found himself staring down at the residents of the city. He had been a little restless since Koenma had shown them the recording of the girl.

'Oni…'

Removing the bandanna from his forehead his Jagan started to glow. It had failed before when he tried but he was determined. Using the power of the Jagan eye Hiei searched through the surrounding area as much as he could. He scowled in annoyance at the people that he saw. The way some of them acted was pathetic, seemingly to argue over the littlest things. But in the end it proved useless and he wasn't even able to find a trace of her.

"Where the hell is that damn girl?"

Following Morning

Kagome's Home

Kagome threw her empty bag over the well's rim and then hung there for a minute. She was completely exhausted and barely had the strength to climb over. With one last push she was over. Dragging herself to the door there was only one thing on her mind.

'Bath!'

Once she was inside she headed straight for the bathroom. On her way there she noticed that no one was home. That was the least of her worries at the moment though. When she reached the bathroom she started the water and quickly got undressed. After she was done she sighed in relief. As she brushed her hair memories of not so long ago came back to her and she frowned.

"Stupid Inuyasha," Kagome muttered.

She remembered how she had caught Inuyasha kissing her, Kikyou, again. Almost slamming her brush down she got up and headed for her room. After she put some clothes on she sat down on her bed she pulled out a small bottle that contained a large fragment of the Shikon Jewel.

"It's almost complete. I wonder what'll happen when we finally finish it. Will I still be able to see everyone?"

Placing the small jar on her nightstand Kagome decided to lie down for a little bit. But as much as she wanted to sleep her body wouldn't allow her to. Turning onto her back she stared up at the ceiling. Her thoughts started to wander back to Inuyasha and she let out a groan. Grabbing her pillow she held it to her face and let out a scream. When she was done she glanced at her clock. The time was 4:37 p.m. Getting up and grabbing her phone she started to dial a number. The phone rang a few times before a woman answered it.

"Hello?" the woman asked.

"Hi Miss Minamino. It's Kagome. Is Shuichi there?"

"Oh Kagome! It's been a while since you've called. Yes he's here. Let me get him," Shiori said.

Kagome could hear her calling for him and hear his voice as he walked over to the phone. When he was on the phone he seemed happy, which made her feel better. After they talked for a little while they both agreed to hang out. They decided to meet at a fast food place. Kagome grabbed the small jar, put on her shoes, and was quickly out the door. It didn't take her long to reach where they were going to meet. After waiting a few minutes she could see Kurama. When she started to wave him over he spotted her and gave her a wave back.

"It's been a while Kagome," Kurama said.

"Yeah. We've been kinda busy lately."

"How about we go for a walk? Then you could tell me about it."

"Sure," Kagome said with a smile.

Unbeknownst to them they were being watched. Across the street from them a girl watched them carefully. She scowled when the two started to leave together. Carefully she started to follow them. The girl wanted to get closer so that she could hear what they were talking about but didn't dare try it.

"So how have you been Kurama?" Kagome asked.

"I've been doing fairly well. Demon activities have been relatively low. How about you? You said you've been busy," Kurama asked.

"Oh yeah. Well as it turns out we're pretty close to completing the jewel. There shouldn't be too many left now."

In the corner of her eye Kagome thought she saw something flash across Kurama's eyes. But just as quickly as it was there it was gone. He noticed her staring at him and raised an eyebrow in question. Kagome blushed in embarrassment and looked away. When the sun started to set Kurama offered to walk Kagome home and she accepted. During their walk back Kurama finally noticed their follower. For safety reasons Kurama started to lead Kagome in a different direction. When he did that she asked him what he was doing and jumped a little when she saw his serious expression. Without looking at her he said, "I just noticed that we're being followed. I'm not sure how long she's been there but act natural."

When they turned around a corner Kurama pulled Kagome into a secluded spot. There they waited for their stalker. Before long Kurama saw her slowly making her way around the corner and his eyes widened when he realized whom it was. Kagome was able to recognize her as well. The only thing that would have made them think otherwise is the fact that she was wearing modern clothes. She wore plain sneakers, baggy jeans, and a black T-shirt. Once she was completely out in the open Kurama told Kagome to stay where she was as he stepped out. The stalker saw him step out and a small smile crossed her lips. Without a care she started to walk across the street. Luckily for her no one was driving down the road. Once she was a few feet away, much to Kurama's discomfort, she stopped, leaned slightly to her left, and placed a hand on her hip.

"It seems you saw me. So when did you?" she asked.

"Not soon enough it seems. What is your purpose for being here?" Kurama asked.

"Straight to the point, huh? What a bore," the girl said with a sigh.

Kurama found no amusement from the girl's reaction and waited patiently for her to answer. When she straightened herself out she dropped the smile and glared at him.

"I'm here to deliver a message. But since I have no idea where I can find him I'd like for you to deliver it for me."

"Him? Who is it that you're looking for and what kind of message do you have?"

"Well I guess you could say it's more of a warning then a message," the girl said as she looked away thoughtfully.

"And you've failed to answer my question," Kurama said, raising his voice slightly. The girl glanced back at him and smirked.

"Tell your friend Hiei to watch his back. Soon an old acquaintance will return and will be seeking him out, aside from his other plans."

"An old acquaintance?" Kurama questioned.

The girl sighed in annoyance. Shaking her head she looked at him and said, "Why must you keep asking me things. Just tell him that Oni delivered this warning."

With that said she turned and started to run. Kurama yelled for her to stop but she didn't listen. He started to run after her, Kagome not far behind him. When they turned around the corner they could barely see her mixed him with the large crowd of civilians. Kurama considered going after her but didn't want to risk leaving Kagome alone. He cursed under his breath and turned to Kagome.

"Let's hurry and get you home."

That Night

With Hiei

On the outskirts of the city on one of the many trees stood Hiei. He had spent the day searching for Oni but came up with nothing. Slamming the side of his fist against the tree he slid down so that he could lie down. With a small grumble he fell asleep.

*Dream*

Opening his eyes Hiei found himself standing in the middle of a open field. Strong gusts of wind blew the waist high grass around wildly. The sky was a blood-red color with black clouds lingering around. In the distance Hiei could hear thunder and could see the flashes of lightning.

"Am I in the Demon World?"

At this time Hiei realized that his hands were dripping with something. Looking down he saw that his hands were soaked in blood. After checking himself he discovered that the blood was not his own. Curious as to what or whose blood was on him he looked around for a body. He didn't find a body but did find a small trail. Reaching for his sword he found that is wasn't there. Cursing at his misfortune he moved on. Following it he watched carefully for anything that could jump out at him. Not too far off he could see that the grass was parted and that the blood trail led to it. When he reached it he saw that his sword was there and impaled into something. Looking down he nearly choked on his own breathe in disbelief. His hands began to shake slightly and he couldn't look away. He then slowly looked down at his hands.

"Why... did I do this?!"

*End Dream*

Hiei jolted awake from his dream with cold beads of sweat rolling down the side of his face. Placing a hand on his face he took a deep breath to calm his nerves. When he felt a little more at ease he glanced up at the moon.

"Hn. Ridiculous."

End Chapter 2

I got a little stuck with at least 2 places in this chapter. The dream for instance was different then what I had originally planned to have it. Either why it think it turned out fine. Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter and please leave reviews.
