A/N;

Sooooo...I messed up. I totally posted chapter five before posting chapter four. I am going to update and repost chapter four. I am going to put this on the 'updated' chapter too, since you guys won't really see it all. Bleh. I'm so sorry guys. Hope this makes more sense.

4. A Demon in My View

The office was filled with the sound of shuffling papers as the small, toddler-sized boy flipped through his paperwork, stamping what he needed to approve before filing the papers away. He sucked on his light blue pacifier, something he tended to do while stressed, while bringing a new stack closer to him to begin filing through when the doors to his office slammed open. The toddler yelped, papers flying about when he jumped and he scrambled to get back on the large cushioned chair he had been sitting in. He turned, eyeing the five who had just wandered into his office and his jaw dropped. The shortest of the group, the one he knew as Hiei, was holding a female over his shoulder and she was naked. He gulped, shaking his head and demanding to know why there was a naked woman on his shoulder.

"Cool your jets, Baby Breath," Yusuke snickered, "We went to that place that you traced the dagger to and found everything but."

The word 'but' made the toddler's face flare in absolute mortification.

"The demon we found there was not the only one. He had demon guards and human captives." Kurama reported, hand moving to gesture to the girl upon Hiei's shoulders, "And among those human captives was this girl. She's the only other demon who he had there."

"I see," replied the brown haired youth, "And what about my father's dagger?"

"There was an issue." Kurama began.

"Yeah there was! I couldn't kick his ass because of the restrictions you guys have me on so he kicked our asses!" Interrupted Yusuke.

"You mean you lost a fight with the guy?"

"Not exactly, Koenma. It was more of we were injured rather than lose. He ran away. Before he left though he made sure to claim innocence. He says the dagger is no longer in his possession and that he never stole it."

The toddler sized ruler sat back in his seat, groaning quite audibly.

"We know it was there, Koenma, Sir." Piped up the blue haired reaper, "The place was radiating in its energy."

"So, this guy basically lied and then got away?" Kuwabara asked.

Hiei rolled his crimson eyes and glared at the tall buffoon.

"No, he told us the truth and only fought us out of amusement you idiot."

"HEY!"

"That is enough, all of you." Botan scolded, "Honestly, you all still act like children sometimes."

The fire demon glared at the Pilot of the River Styx, unappreciative of her wording.

"Would one of you like to explain to me why Hiei is carrying a naked demon around?" Koenma interrupted.

"Oh, yeah." Yusuke said, glancing over to the girl, "She was the only demon and refused to speak when asked questions. Botan said we should bring you here."

"And the munchkin is carrying her 'cuz she kept biting us."

Koenma quirked a brow.

"Biting…you?"

"Yes," Kurama interjected, "She bit Kuwabara and then Yusuke."

The small ruler shook his head. What a mess these boys get into every time he sends them out for a mission.

"And what do you want me to do with her? She very well cannot be interrogated while naked."

Hiei scoffed.

"Just tell me where you want her. I'm tired of her clawing and hitting me."

Koenma turned to Botan, "Would you please bring a chair in from out in the main room?"

The blue haired woman bowed and darted from the room. She returned moments later with a semi plush chair, placing it near Hiei. She backed away and moved back over to stand by Koenma. Hiei took this as a notion to put the onna down and he stepped from the chair, dropping the girl to the ground. As she fell the girl gripped at his shirt, rolling down his arm and hitting the floor, dragging the fire demon down with her. They landed in quite the compromising position and Yusuke and Kuwabara could not help but to laugh hysterically. Koenma's face turned a few shades of scarlet and Botan covered her mouth. Kurama bit his thumb to stop himself from laughing, even though they looked hilarious. Hiei was atop of the girl with his legs boxing her in, his face mere inches from hers and the girl was lying beneath him, chest heavy from the fright of the fall and her arms gripping his shirt with her mouth slightly open and Hiei's hands framing her arms. The two demons stared at one another and the female was the first to react, her wide silver eyes darting from the crimson ones which had caught her own when they landed. Her hands gripped his shirt tighter for a moment before she released, pushing upon his chest and arms to get off.

The spell which had seized him moments ago broke as she looked away and it was only then that the fire demon heard the laughter which filled the room. He blinked, feeling something upon his chest and he glanced down, eyes catching the voluptuous bosom which he had overlooked upon the female, and then finally falling on the small hands which were trying to shove him away. He realized that in dropping her, they had both fallen into this tangled mess and now the onna was trying to push him off. He pushed himself up, kneeling above her fallen frame, and he looked up to her face. The woman looked scared, as if he were going to kill her, and once he had moved, she had braced her hands over her head as if he would hit her. He frowned, glaring at the damned woman before standing. Grabbing at his own cloak, he took it off and tossed it over her naked form. From the corner of his eyes he saw her flinch as the fabric touched her but she looked down and then sighed as if she were relieved that had been all he had done. He turned from her and stalked over to the wall, trying to contain his rage and curiosity. The young maiden sat up, holding the cloth close to her bosom as her cheeks began to flush a light pink, and she kept her face down. This would be the first time something like that had ever happened to her and she had not been severely punished.

"Ahem," Koenma began, regaining purpose, "Please, miss, have a seat."

The woman glanced up at the chair she sat beside and stood. The black cloth she held close to her was great for covering her body as she sat in the plush chair, trying to not think about her blunder.

"Now that we've all calmed down. Will you please do me the favor, miss, of giving me your name, class and race?"

The woman, who would not meet his eyes, stayed silent and still, not even acknowledging that he had spoken to her. He frowned, brown eyes watching the girl before he shook his head.

"Young lady, I'm sure you are aware of Spirit World and-"

The female cringed, her body convulsing as she looked at the toddler, yet not quite at him and her face seemed to pale. The woman began to back pedal, slightly moving the chair far back enough to where it seemed as though she were moving. Her eyes were covered by her bangs so Koenma could not decipher what race of demon she was and her sudden movement meant that she was fearful of Spirit World.

"Hn. She couldn't be more than a D class demon. Nothing she did to fight me was even remotely damageable."

Koenma nodded, scribbling it down in his notebook. When he glanced up at the girl, she had covered her face, body quivering in what seemed to be fear. He motioned to Botan and whispered in her ear. The girl's bubble gum pink eyes widened before finding the maiden. She pulled away and looked down to Koenma, smiling, before nodding.

"Yes Sir!" she said before making her way out of the room.

Yusuke and Kuwabara shrugged as the reaper passed them by, wondering just what the small Prince was sending her out to do. Kurama turned to observe the girl and noticed that she was shaking in fear. He frowned. The Makai never had rumors of anything fearful in the Spirit World other than the SDF but surely she knew that being in the living world would not grant such punishment. The doors opened again and in came the reaper with a pile of clothes. She moved to the girl, crouching a bit, and held the clothes out to her.

"You must be embarrassed have to be asked questions while like this. Here. Try these on."

She looked at the clothes in the woman's hands and gulped before shaking her head no. Being naked could no longer bother her and having clothes on would only make things worse should a client happen to come by.

"But sweetie, you really should wear some clothes…" the reaper tried once more, "It might make you more comfortable."

The girl shook her head no and Koenma sighed. The best thing to do in this situation was to try and befriend the girl, but it didn't seem like she'd enjoy the company of Yusuke or Kuwabara and Kurama had two lives to juggle between all ready, attempting to befriend the girl would only complicate things on his part. He could stick her with Hiei but who knows what he might do if she got on his nerves; plus he did not have a place of his own in either of the three worlds so that just did not work. He tapped his finger upon his chin and thought, watching the small demon hide. With a sigh, he stood on his chair and slammed his hands down on the desk in frustration. The sound scared the girl and she jumped, hands flying to cover her head and releasing the cloak that she had been hanging onto, before Koenma made his decision.

"Yusuke, I know you do this job as a favor and I need to ask of one more. We will need her testimony a bit later, but for now we need to keep her close enough to be accessible. I know you and Keiko have a spare room, could she use it?"

The Spirit Detective shrugged.

"That's really up to Keiko, but I'm sure she'll be okay with it after I tell her it is part of the mission and whatnot…"

Koenma nodded; "Good. And I know you cannot be home all day to keep an eye on her…I'll send Mukuro notice that you'll be here a while longer, Hiei, but seeing as you're the only one who was able to get her without her biting your hand off, I want to assign you to make sure she doesn't run away,"

The fire demon whipped around, his attention caught, and glared.

"And why in the seven hells should I agree to that?"

"Because we need someone and you're the only one currently capable of doing so without a severe change in day-to-day routines." The Prince retorted, "That, and I'm telling you to. I don't like bossing people around but if I have to give it to you as an assignment I will."

The fire demon growled, crossing his arms in front of his chest before grunting out his frustration. He was not one to enjoy the company of others, especially when forced, and now he had to deal with this woman. He turned his glare at the woman who was shaking beneath his cloak, hiding her face from view, silently wondering what was wrong with her and just why she had those eyes.

Those strange silver eyes.
