Chapter 1: Where's Mama?
The two girls walking down the street looked completely different, yet they were best friends. The taller one looked almost punk in her army tank top and dark green cargo pants. She had her arms crossed over her chest and she wasn't talking. Dark purple, almost black, hair flowed down her back to her shoulder blades. Yellow-orange eyes glared at anyone who dared to meet them.
The shorter girl was smiling, blue eyes sparkling with happiness. Three shopping bags hung off her arms. She wore a cute jean skirt and a light blue shirt with the word "ANGLE" across it in white letters. She was chatting non-stop to the taller girl, who would occasionally nod or say something like "Yup," and "Mhm."
"Kaita, are you listening to me?" the shorter girl demanded after the umpteenth time this had happened.
"Of course," Kaita grinned, "You were just telling me about how Hiei beat a boy who was flirting with you into a bloody pulp on your last date."
The short girl gave her friend an annoyed look.
Kaita laughed, "I always wondered why you bothered to go out with that short, moody koorime anyway. The boys at your school are much cuter and nicer."
The short girl flipped her dirty-blonde hair, "And I'm assuming you're talking about a certain red-head with the human initials S. M.?"
Kaita chuckled, "Katie, you know me too well."
"I would hope so," Katie said, "We've been best friends for, what, a year?"
Kaita nodded. Suddenly, she gasped, "Oh my gods, I was gonna tell you that joke, wasn't I?"
Katie smiled, "Oh yah!"
Kaita told her the joke and was just getting to the punch line when she opened to the door to Katie's house.
"And to then he..." she trailed off and stared around the once-clean house. Pictures in the entrance hall hung lopsided and some had been torn off the walls. The dining room table had been flipped and the chairs were broken. The TV in the living room was smashed and glass from it covered the floor. The floor was also covered in different colors of blood, one of which was red.
"Kaasan?" Katie gasped, "Kaasan?" She dropped her bags and ran to the back of the house.
Kaita walked into the kitchen and was about to pick up to phone when Botan flew in through the open window.
"Oh my goodness!" she gasped, "What happened?"
Kaita shook her head and leaned against the kitchen counter, "I don't know. But I was about to call the police when you arrived."
"Sorry," Botan landed on the ground, "I have a message for you guys from Kuenma. I called the others to meet here. But I had no idea what had happened."
"It's ok Botan," Kaita sighed, "I'm gonna go check on Katie."
She found the girl sitting on her mother's bed, clutching a picture and sobbing.
Kaita bent down and put her hand on her best friend's shoulder, "Katie, the others are coming here. They'll be here soon. I'm going back to the Makai to get Kuga."
"Ok," Katie choked.
"Botan's here already. I'll be back shortly."
Katie nodded. Kaita moved away from her and created a portal to her home. She stepped through.
"KUGA!"
The eleven-year-old wolf demon walked out of his cave home. "What Kaita?"
"I need you to come to the Ningenkai with me. Something bad has happened."
"What weapons do I need?"
Kaita huffed, "Just bring the communicators and the blood testing equipment. You can get weapons later."
Kuga nodded and hurried inside. Kaita tapped her foot impatiently until Kuga ran out, ready to go. Then she created another portal and the pair jumped through.

"Holy shit!" Yuusuke gasped when he saw all the damage that had been caused.
"What happened?" Kuwabara asked.
Kaita glared at them, "How the hell should I know? That's not the reason you're here."
"You sound like Genkai," Yuusuke grumbled.
Kaita cuffed him with her wing as he passed, sending him sprawling.
The three of them walked into the kitchen.
Hiei and Kurama were already there. Both were leaning against separate walls. Katie was sobbing into Hiei's chest, and he had his arms around her protectively. Kuga was testing the blood from the living room to see what kind of demons it had come from. Kaita moved over to help him.
"Finally, you're here," said Botan, "Kuenma has a new mission for you. A clan of demons has taken twenty-five humans and is holding them all for ransom. They want Kuenma to destroy the barrier between here and the Makai. They say they'll kill a human once a week for every week as long as it takes for Kuenma to drop the barrier. Kuenma -"
"Wants us to destroy the clan and save the humans," finished Yuusuke.
"If only it was that simple," Botan replied, "No, Kuenma wants you to bargain with the clan leader. See if you can get at least a quarter of the humans free. In exchange for the humans Kuenma will give them a large section of the Makai."
"Why in seven hells would we 'bargain' with these demons when we could simply kill them?" Yuusuke demanded.
Kaita looked up from where she was testing blood, "Yuusuke, a demon clan is made up of at least a hundred incredibly strong demons. I'm not talking demons like from the Dark Tournament. I'm saying stronger. The weakest of these demons is as strong as Toguro at 100%. Think about what you're saying. All of us going up against a force like that? None of us would last more than two minutes."
"Kaita's right," agreed Kurama, "Not only that, but these are the demons that took Katie's mother, am I right Kaita?"
The half-demon nodded.
"Are y-you saying th-th-that m-my m-mom could b-be killed by demons?" Katie sobbed.
"I won't let that happen," Hiei growled.
"Neither will I," said Kaita, "But...I don't see what we can do."
"What we need to do," Yuusuke said, "Is talk to the toddler."
