I don't own anything!
Chapter 3
"Yea toddler?!?!?"
"Yusuke!! Show some respect to Koenma-sama!!" Unfortunately for Yusuke, that comment earned the spirit detective slash punk a bump on the head.
*Groan* Koenma, a.k.a. "Toddler", rubbed his head tiredly with his thumb and forefinger. He had no time for this foolishness (plus he absolutely despised that so-called nickname) and was late on is already tight schedule! He had to miss two lunch dates a skipped his mid-afternoon snack!!
"Koenma sir, the mission..?"
Ah yes, he could always trust Kurama to break fights and keep the peace in his office. Why, just by that statement, everyone was up and paying attention! Well, almost everyone. Kuwabara was daydreaming, Yusuke was knocked out, Boton was glaring at Yusuke, and Hiei was being…well…Hiei, to put it bluntly. Ok, so maybe not everyone was paying attention. Koenma waited patiently for Yusuke to stand back up then started the mission.
"Ok tod- I mean Koenma, what's the big important mission anyways? I have better things to do than being here you know." Yusuke said sarcastically while wearily looking at Boton, then her oar, through the corner of his eye. Boton narrowed her eyes at him, then raised her trusty oar to rest it against her shoulder. Just incase he screwed up his words again.
"What the hell are you talking about Urameshi? You were complaining about how bored you were before Boton picked us up. Then you practically ran into the portal!" kuwabara stopped his daydreaming to bring that up. Kurama had an amused glint in his eyes, while Hiei's lips turned up a bit at the corners. They knew what was going to happen, and prepared themselves to stop another fight. Or at least Kurama did, Hiei was pretty much rooting for them to beat themselves to a bloody pulp. Mentally of course.
"Shut the fuck up kuwabara!! Unless you want to feel my fists again!!"
"Feel your-? Why I outa-!! Your ass is going down Urameshi!!" with that, the battle of the fists began. They tried to not use their spiritual energy too much. Last time they did, it was a disaster. And the worst part was, they were stuck in cleaning duty! What a mess that was..
Meanwhile, Koenma looked at all this through a groan. Though you couldn't hear it too well since his face was covered in his hands with his elbows propped up on the desk. Hiei was already bored and was having a conversation with Kurama.
~Fox~
~Right here hiei~
~What are you going to do about your mother? ~
~Please don't bring that up right now~
Earlier that day, Shiori, surprisingly, corner Shuichi before he left for school and asked if he had a girlfriend or anything of that sort. He answered with a no and left for school. On his way, hiei met up with him with some interesting news. Apparently, when he was probing her thoughts, he found out that Shuichi's dear mother thought that she wasn't going to live long enough to see Kurama get married and have kids. Or Shuichi, depending on the point of view. Kurama basically blushed to his roots. When hiei told him that she thought that Kurama was gay or unable to have children, Kurama almost fainted on the spot. He couldn't believe that his own mother thought that! The worse part has yet to come though, she was even planning an arranged marriage or blind dates with random girls if he couldn't find one on his own! This was too much for Kurama and he ran away leaving a 100% amused hiei. He was smirking with his eyes shining in barely suppressed laughter. Though he would never laugh out loud. Oh yes, he was going to have fun teasing the kitsune. Payback for all the times he was teased about yukina.
~Well I think that if she thinks we're gay, than so be it! It's not like I have a care for gender, right hiei? ~ Youko. A "deceased" silver kitsune. Sharing the body of shuichi minamino with, well, shuichi minamino. A fox symbolizes lust and stealth, and Youko was no acception. He loved to steal and brought home more partners than an average slut. Male or female, didn't matter. As long as both enjoyed themselves.
~Youko, that was unnecessary. And no one asked for your opinion. Plus, I'm sure that hiei does not like you like that. That's just disturbing~ (a/n no, I'm NOT making this a yaoi. I personally hate those. But I need you to remember that Youko is a fox demon and like I said, gender doesn't really matter to them)
~Hn~ Hiei cut off the link so Shuichi and Youko carried on their conversation.
~Youko! Stop scaring hiei off! He's a friend! No more, no less! ~
~At least it got rid of him, didn't it? I thought that you said that you didn't want to talk about it? ~
~Yes well-~
"Ok everyone, here's the mission." Koenma's voice snapped Kurama out of his mental conversation. Actually, he just cut off the conversation himself for the sake of not loosing the mental argument to himself, if that makes any sense" (a/n if it doesn't, im sorry. It's really late and im tired) "There's a shrine in Tokyo called the "Sunset Shrine". Your mission is to find a girl named Kagome. She is a miko, who lives in that shrine, and travels back in time through a well to collect pi-"
But he was interrupted. "So you want us to kill her or something?" Yusuke asked nervously. (A/n im Sry if im interrupting too much but I just wanted to say that, no, yusuke is NOT a wuss. He just doesn't like to kill humans. O fuck that, he never killed a human in his whole life. So he's nervous about killing her if he has to.)
"What?! No! Heavens no! If you did that, then father would kill me! Mikos are very rare because of their talent in exterminating youkai and-"
This time he was cut off by a pissed off Hiei. "What, are you sending us on a suicide mission?"
"No, but I need you to help her restore the shikon."
"And what, prey tell, is the shikon?" Hiei really didn't like to talk much and this was going beyond his limit.
"What?! You don't know about the infamous tama?!" Koenma was confused, until it hit him, "Oh yes, you weren't born yet, were you? Well, the shikon no tama is a great jewel that can grant wishes and increase strength. Both humans and demons."
"Sounds like a load of crap," mumbled Yusuke. Though everyone heard him, except Kuwabara who was the loser of the little brawl and was unconscious on the ground. Obviously, Yusuke didn't believe it was possible.
"I'm surprised, Yusuke. After all you went through, a wish granting jewel is so hard to believe?" Kurama raised an eyebrow at Yusuke.
Yusuke turned to look at him. "I'll believe it when I see it."
"Well than, I hope you're a quick believer 'cause your mission is to help the girl kagome collect the pieces of the shikon. If not, you might as well say good-bye to the present world." Said koenma.
"Why? what happened to it?"
"Well Kurama, if you really must know, you'll have to ask her yourself. I don't know and there is no information on how it was shattered. But what I do know is this. Each one of those shards that make up the jewel has the same amount of power and energy as the whole jewel itself. Meaning that one shard can give as much power as the whole jewel. A regular D class demon can become an upper B class demon just with one shard. Imagine what an A class demon, such as naraku, could do with it. And he has more than one shard! Maybe even half of the whole thing."
"Naraku?" asked Kurama.
"Naraku. Her enemy. Or actually, her group's enemy. He's quite powerful and merciless. He cares for no living being and lusts for the tainted shikon jewel. He has killed and/or cursed many humans and demons alike. He's a very slippery character, he is. Your goal, other than getting the jewel back together, is to defeat and kill him."
With that all said, koenma ordered boton to give them the rest of the information at ningenkai.
"What information boton??" asked yusuke looking to boton suspiciously.
"Well, it seems that koenma-sama thinks it easier for you to get in touch with her if you were to attend her school!!" said the ever so happy grim reaper of spirit world. (A/n that phrase doesn't belong to me. it belongs to sanaka.)
"w-WHAT?!?! I CANT SWITCH SCHOOLS!!! KEIKO WOULD KILL ME!! Plus…I'd have to work to get another rep…" yelled yusuke. The last part was mumbled but boton still heard it.
"Oh don't worry yusuke! Im sure Keiko will understand once you tell her it's for the mission. And I don't want you to have a bad rep in this school. And if we're lucky, your punk rep wont reach the school you're going to! It'd be less suspicious you know."
"Great, now I'm being mothered by a spirit" mumbled yusuke. And like always, boton heard and the poor detective earned himself another bump to the head by boton's ever so trusty oar.
