::Dragon, Fox and Wolf::
Prologue
"...and just remember that you're only there for one reason: the demon."
Koenma's words replayed themselves over and over in Kurama's mind. He didn't know why he was being so serious about this upcoming mission. After all, it was probably the most simple of missions he would ever have to complete. All he needed to do was go seek out some mysterious demon and learn more about him, and since there was the given fact that the demon was on Earth, just made everything all the more simplistic. A demon's spirit energy would stand out only too noticeably amongst all the humans. But something had Kurama feeling like this wasn't going to be just any ordinary mission...
Hiei had the same exact thoughts as Kurama, only he believed that the mission was just going to be a big waste of time. 'Everything Koenma has me do is a waste of my time.' Hiei thought grumpily to himself. His thoughts about the mission were mixed with anger, but they kept him busy as he sped through the city, looking for the apartment he was going to be staying in for the time he spent on Earth. By the time he got there, Kurama was already waiting for him.
"There you finally are." Kurama breathed out with a smile. He had one hand in his pocket, and the other dangling a key.
"I was following your spirit energy the whole time, and you walk too slow. That's why I was late." Hiei grabbed the key and made for the apartment.
"Ah, I see." Kurama answered, though he didn't quite believe him.
A couple hours later, after Hiei felt like he was finally settled in to his new living conditions, he left the apartment and set out to do a little searching.
"I'm going now." Hiei told Kurama before he left their apartment.
Kurama nodded, "I'll be here, as usual."
Hiei sped through the city like he normally would do. It irritated him whenever he had to walk somewhere, so he never did. He glanced carefully at every person he came across, but none of them matched the energy of the demon he was looking for. The demon was definitely nearby though. He could feel his strong presence.
"Stop that mumbo jumbo about demons," some teenage girl laughed.
Hiei overheard this and stopped in a tree to eavesdrop.
"Yeah, we've heard enough of your crazy talk," a teenage boy agreed.
"Its not crazy talk you guys! Why wont you believe me?" Whined a young boy, wearing huge glasses on his face.
"Listen, Derek," began the teenage boy, "If everything you say is true, then the cops would have had those nonexistent demons taken care of long ago."
Foolishness. Hiei cringed and thought to himself. To think that a mere human could possibly be capable of standing a chance against a demon.
"That's right Derek," said the girl, putting her hand on his shoulder, "Please stop worrying yourself about demons. I don't know what got you started about them in the first place, but I can assure you that nothing bad is ever going to happen. I promise." She finished with an encouraging smile.
"Fine. I guess you are right..." Derek sighed.
"Now quit this demon crazy talk once and for all," said the teenage boy, growing irritable. "We have to go home now. Mom is waiting for us." He grabbed Derek by the arm and dragged him off.
"See you guys later!" The girl waved as they walked off.
When the two boys were out of sight, the girl sighed and scratched the back of her head.
"Demons...heh," the girl mused slowly to herself, not knowing that anyone was watching her.
Hiei made a small movement up in his tree, then froze.
The girl turned around and stared up at the tree. Her blue eyes flashed brilliantly.
'Those eyes...' Hiei thought to himself, as he stared into the girls' blue eyes, trying to figure out what they reminded him of. He still sat frozen and didn't move a muscle, so as not to be noticed.
"Anyone up there?" She asked. She waited no less than five seconds for an answer, then picked up a rock and chucked it at the tree. "Hey! Come down here!"
Reluctantly, Hiei jumped down from the tree. This startled the girl and she took a few steps back. Hiei was holding the rock she had tossed at him and he threw it up into the air then caught it again.
"H-Hi." The girl said casually. She wasn't expecting anyone to be up in the tree, and it wasn't often that she saw anyone come out of one.
"Hi." Hiei answered coldly.
"Well, I guess I better be going now." The girl said, feeling very awkward. She turned around to leave.
"Wait a minute."
The girl stopped and turned around. "Yeah?"
"What is it that you know about demons?" Hiei asked, trying to sound plain.
"You were eavesdropping on the conversation I was having with my friends!"
Hiei put his hands in his pocket, but didn't answer.
The girl sighed, "Listen, I don't know anything about demons, all right?"
"Really." Hiei said with disbelief.
"Yeah."
"Would you believe this?" Hiei brought his hand out from his pocket and clenched his fist, in a few seconds a scolding flame erupted around it.
The girls' eyes widened, but she didn't answer him.
"You do know something about demons." Hiei answered for her.
She frowned, and took her eyes off of his burning fist. He was getting annoying. "You're just some pyro freak. And I don't know one thing about demons, like I said."
Hiei smirked. He knew she would say that.
The girl, still frowning, turned and left. But Hiei wasn't going to let her get away that easily. He shot a burning ball of flames after her, which she was able to sense, even with her back turned against him. She turned around quickly and put her elbows out in front of her face, her eyes started to glow bluer and the air around her grew colder. When the flames hit her, they disintegrated into smoke.
"What the hell was that for?!" The girl snapped.
"To prove something. And, I don't like being lied to." Hiei said with an evil smirk on his face.
"Who are you? And what do you want from me?" The girl asked, with irritation in her voice.
"Sit down, and we'll have a talk." Hiei turned around and she followed. They both sat down on a bench along the side of the street. The girl watched him suspiciously the whole time. He noticed, but he was used to that sort of thing.
'This was too easy. I found the demon, and this silly mission is already over.' Hiei thought to himself.
But it had only begun.
