CHAPTER 1



HIEI'S P.O.V.

I flitted from tree to tree, following the others at a safe distance so it would not appear that I was with them, embarassing as they were. Kuwabara and Yuuske were having an argument over who was the smartest. I grunted. More like who was the stupidest. Keiko and Botan were giggling and whispering to each other, most likely about the boys' antics. The only sane ones among them were Kurama and Yukina. Kuwabara had asked Yukina to come, but Kurama had come of his own accord, so I was beginning to have my doubts about him as well. Only one as crazy as the others would actually go around cavorting with them. I scowled. Then why was I here? It was probably because of what had happened that morning


Earlier that day...

Koenma had called us into his office. We had just completed a mission to the strange world of Lakai which had disappeared a millenia ago and had suddenly popped back into existence. It had seemed to be in good shape as far as we could tell, although since the records of Lakai could not be found, no one could tell for sure. It had not been a pleasant experience for me, as I had been a fire demon on a world covered by water. I was not in the mood for another mission. Thankfully, Koenma had just wanted to congratulate us on our success.
"You all are one of the best teams we have at the moment and-" Yuuske interrupted him.
"What do you mean? There's other teams?" I had rolled my eyes at the stupidity of the question.
"Yes Yuuske. If you guys were the only team, you'd never get a chance to sleep." Botan explained.
"Oh. That makes sense. But if there's so many teams, how come we seem to be doing most of the missions?"
"Well," Koenma responded,"Like I said, you are one of the better teams, but besides that, i never said we had a lot of spirit detectives. We just have more than one group, that's all."
"So there could be another group going on a mission right now?" Kuwabara had asked.
"Actually, yes. The Kokolan team is on a mission in Makai at the moment, but besides them there's nobody else."
"All right then. We'll see you later Koenma." As we were walking out of Koenma's office, Kuwabara had what the others would call a stroke of genius. I called it idiocy
"Since we don't have any missions to go on today, why don't we have a picnic?" The slight grain of respect I had gained for him in our last battle vanished completely. The clumsy fool had another one of his stupid ideas. It was preposterous! It was unheard of! It was...what was it anyway? I edged my way over to Kurama's side(making sure Kuwabara wasn't listening)then asked him,
"What the heck is that fool talking about?" The redhead merely smiled and said,
"Come along and find out." I scowled at him. Stupid fox.
Kurama's reply had been short enough for me to hear the end of Kuwabara's statement.
"...And you can come too Botan, and we can ask Keiko and Yukina, of course we have to ask Yukina and..." I froze. Ask Yukina? As in Kuwabara and Yukina? Together? Over my dead body.
That was pretty much why I had come along on this...picnic. It wasn't too bad at the beginning. Kuwabara only fawned over Yukina a couple dozen times instead of the usual fifty-three. In fact, everything was pretty peaceful for a while.
But then all hell broke loose.
