CHAPTER 1.just ordinary
Hiei walked through the doors to Koenma's office, his hands stuffed inside the pockets of his black cloak. Looking around, he spotted the toddler at his desk, sucking his pacifier constantly.
"Koenma..." Hiei said in his monotone voice.
Koenma snapped out of his sucking fit at the sound of Hiei's bone-chilling voice.
"Ah Hiei, you're late..." Koenma said, giving him a sideways glance.
"I showed up, didn't I?" Hiei answered
Koenma pointed behind Hiei to the video screen. Hiei turned around to see a beautiful teenage girl with beautiful blood-red hair and brilliant green eyes, smiling innocently at him from on the screen.
Hiei made a disgruntled face. He hated smiling.
"This is Kimura. She is a half demon who takes on the appearance of a
human, " Koenma said.
Hiei looked up at Koenma.
"So what the hell does this have to do with me?" he asked coldly.
"Hiei, I was wondering if you would do me a favor," Koenma said cautiously. Hiei raised an eyebrow.
"I was wondering if you could train her. Include the others in on her training as well," Koenma said very quickly.
Hiei spat on the floor.
"You know Koenma, I'm sure if you took the pacifier out of your mouth while you talked people would be able to understand you a lot better. Why the hell are you asking me? Why not someone else? Someone who actually gives a damn about demons, especially those who have been tainted by ningens, because I sure as hell don't."
Koenma could tell that Hiei didn't like the idea the more he explained it.
"I have discovered that although Kimura is half demon, she has great power. Power most creatures dream of having. She just doesn't know how to use most of it yet. She has many strong qualities, and is a great candidate for the newest member of the Reiki Tantei."
Hiei rolled his eyes. "What makes you think an incompetent ningen-loving fool would make a great member?"
"Well for one thing..." Koenma pointed to the screen again as Hiei turned to look. "She has been through a lot of things that have only made her stronger."
There were pictures of her being beaten and abused by punky older kids at the orphanage. She had black eyes and cuts and bruises all over her body.
The pictures changed to her in the present day, looking happy again.
"She discovered only a few powers after she was adopted, but she does not know how to control them. She keeps them secret, not even telling her mother, Suki. I want you and the others to make her power as strong as possible." Koenma said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"What?" Hiei said, his voice slightly raised.
"Think about it Hiei," Koenma said quietly. Hiei fell silent.
"Ok, I'll do it, but just as a favor! I want you to know that everything I do is a favor...I work for no one." Hiei's voice faltered and trailed off.
"Right, just a favor Hiei. I thank you." Koenma said, handing Hiei a picture of Kimura. Hiei took the picture and slipped it in his cloak pocket.
"Now, tell me a little bit more about her." Hiei said eyeing Koenma suspiciously.
"Well, she goes to Sarasaki high school, and is very pretty." Koenma said sheepishly with a sweat drop falling down his head. Hiei rolled his eyes. He headed for the door. "Ill tell the others. He said with his back toward Koenma. Hiei opened the door, but turned around to face Koenma once more squinting as if there was sun in his eyes.
"Is your father always on vacation?" he asked. Koenma shrugged.
"I'm surprised he always leaves you in charge when it seems you tend to screw everything up." Hiei mumbled out of ear shot from Koenma as he walked out the door. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
Kimura awoke to the sound of her mother's voice.
"Kimura! get up! Your going to be late for school!"
Kimura sat up in bed, stretched and yawned. She stood up and walked over to the window. It was a nice warm September morning, with clear blue sky and birds singing on the branch of a tree that was parallel from her window. Kimura turned away and walked back over to her bed where her Sarasaki High uniform lay neatly folded. She slipped on her uniform and walked over to the closet mirror. There in the mirror stood a beautiful well figured teenage girl, slightly short for her age. she has beautiful shoulder length red hair, and brilliant green eyes.
Kimura adjusted her yellow scarf, and then adjusted her beautiful golden necklace, which hung lower than most necklaces. She looked at it for a moment, studying its amazing character and running her fingers across its crevices. She always had this necklace, ever since she could remember. She hardly ever took it off unless going swimming or taking showers. she knew that her mother had given it to her when she was born. she knew that that was the only thing she had left of her real mother, and she kept the necklace more of a secret, hiding it behind her clothes.
Kimura tucked it under her shirt and grabbed her bag. "Morning mother." She called as she took a piece of toast and made for the door.
"Kimura!" said her mother with a chuckle. At least give me a kiss good bye...and drink some orange juice."
Kimura ran back, gave her mother a kiss, gulped her orange juice very fast and wiped her mouth on her sleeve while running for the door. "sorry mom I'm going to be late!" she called as she closed the door behind her.
Kimura went at a jog toward her school. She didn't care if her skirt was flying up revealing her black underwear. She was like that though. She didn't really care what other people thought of her. She was more of a tom boy. This is why she had the reputation she had in school. She didn't have any close friends; she would just stop to chat with random people. She wasn't popular, and wasn't noticed by the popular people.
Kimura kept making here way, now at a run. She started to feel like someone was watching her. She kept her eye on the school and didn't look back.
