Chapter II
They were all sitting in Yusuke's living room around the television. Yusuke fed the tape in his battered VCR, praying that it would work this time. Normally when you put in a tape all it did was emit weird green sparks and the faint smell of rotten eggs.
But today, thankfully, everything seemed to be in working order. Yusuke joined the others in their half-circle on the floor. The television screen flickered for a moment, showing black and grey static, then a toddler with a blue pacifier in his mouth appeared behind the smooth glass.
"Hello everyone," Koenma said around his pacifier. "As you know, I've got another case for you. A new demon for you to track down. Her name's Taiya and she's wanted for at least fifteen different crimes, one of them being theft. We've never been able to get a trail from her, but now we have one. It's up to you four boys to find her. Reliable sources have informed me that she's in the Tokyo area and won't be leaving for a long time.oh, yes.here's a picture. Be careful; she's extremely dangerous. Good luck." A picture appeared on the screen, and everyone gaped at it, lost for words.
A beautiful girl stared menacingly out at them, her liquid black eyes daring them to cross her in any way. Glossy chin-length black hair framed her creamy skin, free of blemishes or freckles. Yusuke pressed the Stop button and everyone was silent for a few seconds.
Kuwabara was the first to speak. "Well, I think she'll be pretty easy to find," he ventured. "It's not like you could find anyone prettier than her."
Yusuke turned to Kurama. "You're both thieves. Where do you think she's located? Maybe you think alike."
The red haired boy shook his head. "One, we don't know what she's thinking. Two, we don't know where she's hiding. Three, not all thieves think alike."
Botan bit her knuckle, thinking hard. "Where on Earth should we start? Tokyo has so many people and it's so big!"
Kurama sighed. "Well, we're going to have to do it the old fashioned way."

This was a short yet tedious chapter. It's going to get more exciting, I promise.
