Chapter 6: Another Mission
Disclaimer: See first chapter
This Chapter takes place about 4 months after the last chaptere.
Koenma impatiently tapped his finger on his desk.
Kuwabara: "What did you call me, shrimp?!"
Before Hiei could respond, Kurama carefully asked Koenma what their next task was.
Koenma: "You are assigned to go to a tournament…"
Yusuke: "Another one?"
Koenma: "Let me finish! Ahem." *clears throat* "…to go to a tournament so that you can give me more information on this girl."
The screen displayed a young girl dressed in midnight blue robes who smiled broadly. She had pale blue-grey eyes that made Kuwabara shiver and brown hair that was put into a braid and fell to her elbows. She looked extremely short (A/N: think shorter than Hiei, taller than Genkai), and protruding from underneath the too-small robes she wore white tennis shoes and ankle socks. A bit of a dark green shirt was visible above the neckline of the robes. Her arms were folded over her chest, and the rest of her body language suggested that she was doing so mockingly.
Kurama, Yusuke, and Hiei just stare at the screen in silence. Kuwabara, on the other hand…
Kuwabara: "That girl again? She's really odd. She started talking to a flower before."
Hiei: "She's the schizophrenic."
Koenma: "Yes, and the records Botan has about her are very vague, and a lot of people are complaining that she's talking to them, or some unknown thing that's standing next to her, when she just blanks out. Her pupils completely disappear and she freezes for several minutes. I want you four to find out why."
Yusuke: "Why don't we just ask her?"
Botan: "We've tried that. She doesn't remember anything of the sort ever happening. Of course, she could very well be lying to us."
Kurama: "Is she well known? Or was that just an incorrect assumption?"
Koenma: "Yes. Plenty of demons know her. She is an assassin."
Kuwabara: "Assassin?"
Yusuke: "That's a person who kills people, to put it simply."
Kuwabara: "I know what it means, Urameshi. I'm not that stupid."
'Coulda fooled me.' Hiei and just about everyone else thought.
Kuwabara: "I was just about to ask Koenma how many people she had killed."
Koenma: "Let's just say… a lot."
Yusuke: "Oh goodie. Our next mission is to find out more about a schizophrenic, who is a hyper, young, and just happens to be a mass murderer."
Koenma: "I didn't say she was a mass murderer."
Yusuke: "You said that she had killed a lot of people."
Koenma: "The only reason I didn't tell you exactly how many people she killed was because we have only been keeping close track on her since the Dark Tournament."
Kurama: "Why the Dark Tournament?"
Koenma: "Because that's when her last 'blank out' was reported."
Kurama nodded once to show he understood.
Hiei: "Can I leave now?"
Botan: "Yes. There's nothing more Koenma or I can tell you."
Just then George burst into the room.
George: "Yukina is missing!"
Kuwabara: "WHAT???"
George: "I was looking for her, and…I couldn't find her!"
Koenma: "WAIT!"
This was very necessary seeing as both Kuwabara and Hiei were halfway out the door.
Koenma: "Do this mission, and THEN you can find Yukina."
Kuwabara opened his mouth in shock at Koenma's words, and Hiei clenched his teeth, glaring at the ruler of the Spirit World.
Koenma: "I'll have Botan try to look for Yukina. Now leave."
Yay! The plot is getting started! I'm so happy!
