*** ** *** ** Chapter One: Welcome to 'Spirit World' and Here's Your First Mission *** ** *** **

"Okay, we'll be there soon." Said Boton, traveling at the front of the line.

"Ummm.. Boton?" Yusuke said, walking up next to her.

"Yes, Yusuke?"

"Do you think that Keiko should really be going with us?"

"Well, I'm not really sure, but she's coming anyway. It couldn't hurt anything." Boton said, walking into a building. (AN: I'm not really sure how you get to Spirit World, so I'm just gonna make it up.) Once inside the building, Boton went down a few corridors, and walked into a broom closet. But not just any ordinary broom closet. No, this broom closet glowed blue, and when you step into it you appear in the Spirit World.

"Well, we're here." Boton said, walking down more corridors. The walls were gold and the floor marble. They soon reached a dead end, but Boton kept walking. She then reached for a practically invisible doorknob, and entered the room.

"Well, come on." Boton said, when she noticed that Kagome was hesitant. Kagome soon followed, and had a seat near Hiei since he was still holding Kata.

"So. You're all here. I've been meaning to asked you about Kata-san, Yusuke. But since she's here, I suppose I don't need to." Said someone who was in the room. It was a male, telling by the voice, but you couldn't see him because he was facing the other on his swivel chair.

"Kata-san is why I have brought all of them here, Koenma-sama." Boton piped up.

"Yes, yes, I know. Bring her here, Hiei." The swivel chair turned towards them, and you could see that it was an infant. Kagome's eyes bulged out of her head.

"It's a shock, huh? That's how I was when I first saw him." Yusuke leaned over and said to her.

Hiei stood, and brought Kata over to Koenma.

"So. You're the one. It's been hidden well, even from yourself." Koenma said, kneeling over Kata.

"What are you talking about, Koenma-sama?" Boton asked, walking over to him.

"You'll see." Koenma placed his hands, one over the other, on her chest (AN: And no, I don't mean her breasts, you nasty people). Kata, who was still glowing green since the ally, began to stir. Her eyes, which were now glowing green, snapped open. Koenma seemed to be concentrating very hard to do whatever he was doing. Soon, all of the green glow around Kata, began to travel toward were Koenma's hands were placed. Koenma removed his hands and you could see that the emerald necklace was around her neck.

"Koenma-sama? That's not possible." Boton said, pointing toward the necklace around Kata's neck.

"What's not possible!?!" Yusuke yelled, finally loosing his patients.

"Let me fill you in, Yusuke;" Kurama stood, finally ready to speak. "That necklace that Kata-san is wearing, is called the Emerald of Extinction. It was created fifty years ago by a race of demons that realized they wouldn't survive. So they created the Emerald of Extinction so that the last of their kind would hold the power of the ones who created the emerald. Well, all but two of the demon species died out, but the last two were never found so they're assumed dead. Then the necklace was retrieved, and it became Koenma-san's charge."

"Okay, but what does that have to do with Kata?" Yusuke said, sounding very much agitated.

"Well, the necklace can only be controlled by the demon race that created it. And it looks like it's attached itself to Kata-san."

"Why did it do that?" Kuwabara asked.

"It did that because it was searching for her. And it was searching for her because she's the last of her kind. Well, at least I think that's why."

"But Kata's not a dem." Yusuke began.

"Yes she is. That race of demons you were talking about were the Green Flame Fire demons." Hiei said.

"There are more than one type of fire demon?" Kuwarbara said.

"Don't be so ignorant. There are three types of fire demon. The Blue Flame, Black Flame, and Green Flame Fire demons. As you know, Hiei is half Black Flame. All of the fire demons are rare, especially Black and Green, but Kata-san is something totally different." Koenma explained.

"What do you mean, Koenma-sama?" Boton said, scouting over next to Kata.

"Kata-san is different because she all of them. She's half Green Flame, one quarter Black Flame, and one quarter Blue Flame Fire demon."

Hiei's head spun around so fast, it was a shock that it didn't spin right off. "She can't be a."

"Tri-Fire. A Tri-Fire? Is that possible?" Boton yelped.

"Of course it's possible. Her mother was a Green Flame and her father was half Black Flame and half Blue Flame."

"Oh, god. Look!!!" Kagome yelled, pointing at Kata. Kata was getting shorter, and her hair was changing to a dark green with blue and black stripes. When she opened her eyes, you could see that they were now green instead of brown, and when she yawned you could see sharp little fangs protruding out of her mouth.

"What's goin' on. What are you all starting at." Kata said, sitting up.

"Well, umm..."

*** ** *** ** *** ** Fifteen minutes later ** *** ** *** ** ***

"Okay. So I'm a demon. And this necklace was made by my grandparents. And you want me to be a Spirit Detective. Okay, I'll do it." Kata decided.

"And I was also wondering if you could join us to, Kagome-san."

"Ummm."

"Say yes, Kagome-chan." Kata and Keiko pleaded.

"Okay."

"Now that that's all settled, can we go home now?" Yusuke whined.

"Not just yet. I have a mission for you. But this is going to be a long term mission. It'll last for a while, and you'll have to live in another country." Koenma said, as if it was no big deal.

"WHAT!?!" Everyone but Hiei and Kurama yelled.

"Where exactly are we going?" Kurama calmly asked (AN: What a shock.).

"New Mexico. It's in America. In fact, you'll be in the same place that Kata was before she moved here, to Japan." Koenma answered.

"Well, at least it's New Mex.. WHAT!!! I can't go there. Everyone is going to be wondering were I was all that time. And why are we going there anyways?" Kata asked.

"You are going there because there has been a portal to the Makai opened there. And to make it more complicated, the only way you can have it closed is to win the American Dark Tournament, and ask for the portal to be closed off."

"When do we leave?" Kagome asked.

"Next week."

"Oh, okay... WHAT!?!"

AN: Well, that's chapter one. Sorry it took so long, but you all know who school is. It's not fare. But now I'm in the Mid High and everything is new, and the lunch room is so crowded that you can't even walk. But you'll learn all about that later. Please review!!! ^_^
