Katie: To all people whom read the last chapter: it was a filler chapter.

Reiko: We've been busy with play practice and golf club. o.O

Sora: Ya, but this chapter should be a bit better than the last one. More interesting, you know?

Katie: Writers block is taking me over, so hurry up with the disclaimer, Sora!

Sora: Right! Katie does not own Yu Yu Hakusho or any of the original characters that may appear in this fiction.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Hiei and Yusuke went inside once again. The walked silently to the living room to find everyone there waiting for them. Botan and everyone else (except for Yukina) were glaring at Hiei.

"Ok, Hiei," Keiko growled. "You are going to tell all of us about your 'wife' now."

"Sora here says," Botan pointed to Sora. "Reiko was crying over something that happened to her mother."

Hiei backed up against the wall as Keiko and Botan chased him around the room. They couldn't keep up of course, but they had scary-looking faces. Kuwabara walked up to Yusuke and grabbed the collar of his shirt.

"Ok, Urameshi! I know you know! Tell us you frickin bastard!" Kuwabara spit in his face as he spoke.

In the midst of the madness, Aki, Sora and Yuji snuck up to Reiko's room. Kurama was trying to get Keiko and Botan to calm down. Yukina had taken refuge under the dining room table.

"Please stop, you two! You're not going to get anywhere like that!!" Kurama hollered to Botan and Keiko.

After awhile, Kurama was able to get everyone to calm down; he had some of them sit on the floor, or on the couch with everyone sulking a bit.

"Now Hiei, please tell us about Reiko's mother. Please?"

With a sneer toward Kurama, Hiei, for the third time, told his story. He really didn't want to be the one to tell it; he hurt more and more as he told it. As he finished, Hiei saw the sad and shocked faces all around him. Keiko heard sniffing behind her. She turned around to see Koenma there, blowing his nose with a small white rag.

"How sad, *sniff* I'm so sorry, Hiei."

"You should be." Hiei growled back.

"Anyway, I'm here to tell your kids about their first mission."

Yusuke's eyes went big. "What are you talking about? You're kidding me, right? We only had one day with them!"

"Sorry, Yusuke. You know, you can just send Reiko and Sora. They seem to be the strongest. But, I don't think you would want your son alone, somewhere with a girl, alone, with no one around..."

"Koenma, Reiko is not like that."

The crowd turned to see Reiko's friend Motoko. ((A/N: She was in Chapter 2)) She had teal hair and red eyes, with a large sword hooked on to her belt. She stood with one hand on her hip with one foot on the windowpane. She stepped down and stood in front of Koenma.

"Well it is to say.... Pass?" Koenma stuttered.

"Thought so. Hiei, I'm going upstairs."

Motoko strutted up the stairs, feeling very accomplished. She opened the door to Reiko's room and went in. Hiei thought about what Koenma said for a while. It really wouldn't matter to him if Reiko were alone with Sora.

Up in Reiko's room, Yuji had decided to do a bit of snooping. He looked in the small closet and under her bed.

"Looking for something?" Motoko's voice went through Yuji like nails on a chalkboard. He shot up with his hands firmly by his hips. He backed away and just sat on the floor by the window next to Aki, whom was yet again reading a magazine. Motoko closed the door behind her and kneeled next to Reiko in her bed, sleeping. She gave a look of concern to Sora, whom was also by the bed.

"What happened?" Motoko turned to Sora. He looked at Motoko and sighed.

"Something Hiei said upset her. Something about her mom she said. She cried herself to sleep and here we are."

Motoko looked at Reiko. She was sleeping soundly, her chest rising and falling with her breathing. Motoko smiled as she rose up from the bed.

"Well, I'm glad to see she's ok. I'm coming back here tomorrow, too. Go downstairs; Koenma is there to tell you about you're first mission." She left the room. Sora rose and brushed his t-shirt off. He gave one last concerned glance at Reiko and left the room; Aki and Yuji followed. Motoko waved to Hiei as she jumped out the living room window. Yuji, Aki and Sora filled down the stairs and sat on the floor in a row.

"Where's Reiko?" Koenma questioned as he floated in the air.

"She's sleeping. Leave her be." Sora told him.

"Ok, whatever. Anyway, your first mission." Koenma snapped his fingers and a large screen appeared. "This is your first target." A picture of some sort of male cat demon appeared on the large screen. "His name is Kei. Kei has stolen many jewels of the holy elves in heaven. Somehow he has penetrated all security the elves have, and moves freely within the base to steal all of their treasures. We want you four to either capture or kill Kei, and return the treasures to the elves."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Katie: And so, their first mission begins!
