Chapter 2: Trouble
"Koenma sir! Lord Koenma!" A worried blue lower-class Ogre yelled as he ran down the empty halls of the palace, his every movement and sound echoing all around. As he neared a huge double door, the demon tried to grab the handle without slowing down, thus causing him to slip and fall. Wasting no more than a few seconds to recover, the Ogre pushed open the doors in haste and stumbled in.
"Lord Koenma, sir!" The Ogre once again yelled, his voice barely able to over power the horrifying screams of the storm outside that cast a shadow in the room; the rain beating against the window.
Realizing that there was no answer, the Ogre took a better look at what was in front of him. In front of him was a big desk that had a chair behind it, looking towards the window. Standing next to the desk was a hooded figure that gave Ogre the chills.
"Wh-who are you?" Ogre asked the figure.
"Don't worry about it Ogre." A small voice came from behind the chair.
Koenma?" Ogre wondered.
As he wondered this, the chair swirled around, revealing a small baby with a pacifier in his mouth, but his eyes showed wisdom and knowledge.
"Yes, what is it you want Ogre?" Koenma asked, his voice having a serious tone. It seems Ogre had interrupted an important conversation.
"Huh? Oh! Right!" Ogre said, remembering why he was there," Lord Koenma,….um…the spirit detective…he…"
"He what?" Koenma pursued, getting annoyed.
"Well…"Ogre tried to explain to Koenma, but couldn't seem to get it out. It was probably because Koenma might…no, will, get mad and the blame Ogre for some odd reason.
"Grrrr……did he destroy the demons?"
"Yes."
"Is he hurt?"
"No."
"Is he lost in the forest?"
"No."
"Then what is the matter!" Koenma shouted, losing all patience with his stupid assistant who he would like to strangle at the moment.
"He ran over a girl with his car!" Ogre quickly responded, clearly fearing for the worst to happen.
"What!" Koenma yelled, his baby face full of rage.
"W-well…I..I only heard it from Bob who heard it from his friend who learned from his friend who was informed by a person he doesn't know who told him a bird told him who just so happened to see the incident on his way to the super market to pick up some worms."
"…."
Silence filled the room, the rain hitting harder against the window and the thunder shouting. However, this silence did not last long for the hooded figure burst out laughing, reviling that it was male behind the hood.
His voice froze Ogre; his low, soft, elegant, chilling laughter had froze him, as if it had sliced through Ogre, cutting him in half………then…he spoke,
"It would appear you have some matters to resolve Koenma…I will take my leave." Turning, the man walked towards the opened doors and was about to leave, but added one more statement for Koenma,
"I'll be waiting." With that he left, leaving Koenma and Ogre in silence, but like always that silence was broken.
"You idiot!" Koenma hollered, throwing a heavy book at Ogre, causing him to fall to the ground.
"What I do?" Ogre whined, rubbing the bump on his head he got from the book.
"You're an idiot!" Koenma bellowed, not really giving Ogre an answer.
-..-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Ah, Shit! Damn-it, damn-it, damn-it, damn-it!"
Yusuke yelled, his voice bouncing off the white walls inside Kuwabara's house.
Kuwabara watched Yusuke walked back and forth in frustration and worry as he leaned against the wall opposite of a closed door. Of course, Kuwabara was worried too, but Yusuke was making it worse.
That wasn't the only thing bothering Kuwabara though. Against the wall, next to the closed door, was a particular fire demon named Hiei. His crimson eyes were watching Yusuke too, but he did not seem to be worried at all. How is it that he can stay so calm? Maybe he's masking it, but he sure is hell good at it!
Just when Kuwabara thought he was going to lose it, the door to his room opened. Its soft cracking noise silenced Yusuke and the hallway became quiet as the last member of the detectives team came out, his emerald green eyes looked upon his three friends in the hallway.
"Well! How is she Kurama! Is everything alright!" Yusuke broke the silence, not wanting to waist any more time.
Giving a reassuring smile, Kurama responded calmly," Calm down Yusuke."
"I'll calm down when you answer my questions!"
"She's fine……and alive." Kurama told his friend, adding the last part, knowing fully well Yusuke was going to ask.
"Oh…does she have any injures?" Kuwabara spoke up.
"Look for yourself." Kurama responded, stepping away from the opened door to let the three in.
Taking the unneeded invitation, all three walked into the room, soon followed by Kurama. Inside the room, Yusuke saw his girlfriend and assistant standing over a bed to the far left, against the wall. As he walked near them, they turned to face Yusuke, breaking their conversation with each other; a smile spread across their lips, welcoming Yusuke into the room.
"Uh….we heard the girl's alright." Kuwabara lamely informed them as he stood next to Yusuke.
"Bingo!" Botan responded in her normal cheery voice, flashing a bigger smile and putting her hand in the air, her index figure and thumb pointing straight up, forming an odd shaped gun.
"But its creepy…How could she have survived, especially without any injuries?" Keiko wondered out loud.
"Beats me" Yusuke admitted, putting his hand behind his head and looking to the ceiling as if it was going to give him his answer.
"We'll soon find out when she wakes." Hiei stated , speaking for the first time since the incident, as he stared at the bed behind the girls as if he could see the body lying on the bed, holding a secret.
-.-.-.-.-.-.--.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Flash back: Hiei's Pov.
I had some how been convinced to go into these ningen's vehicles. It was probably because it was raining and my sword was drenched in blood from fighting demons in the forest and I didn't want my sword to rust from the rain. I would have normally put it in my sheath, but during my fight, I had lost it because of some baka who thought I needed rescuing...he clearly didn't see that the demons were already dead.
The detective said that he had driven his car here and it was sitting on the side of the road at the end of the forest. I had immediately rushed to the car as the sky began to drizzle. By the time Yusuke and the others had arrived they were soaking wet and I was sitting in the car cleaning my sword...dried. This, of course, had cause Yusuke to complain, cursing my speed….I just smirked.
Once Yusuke had gotten in the drivers seat and stared that monstrosity, he warned us to tighten our seatbelts…I don't wear seatbelts. Then he sent us at a speed that would probably be considered 100 miles per hour, of course this doesn't match my own.
Kurama warned Yusuke to slow down but the idiot didn't listen. Instead he continued to speed, failing to see the red light or the figure in front of him. By the time he realized there was a person standing in the middle of the road, he slammed to a halt, however he still hit the figure sending it over the car and sending me through the window and into the rain.
I could hear Yusuke curse from where the car was as he got out and rushed to the body he had hit…the fox and baka followed after. As I lifted my self off of the wet street the detective yelled at me to hurry over there and stop playing in the rain…how irritating.
It turned out the body was a girl's, but it was hard to fully see her features because of the rain and the darkness around us. Since it turned out that we were closer to the baka's house, Yusuke took her there not wanting to call the police and having Koenma finding out. Instead, he called Botan and Keiko to help Kurama heal the body and to make sure she was alive.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
End Flash back
"How can you stay so calm Hiei!" Kuwabara nearly shouted, spit flying out of his mouth and hitting the floor.
"Hn, baka…do you really think I would get worried over a ningen?" Hiei responded, snapping back to the present, giving Kuwabara a rhetorical question, even though he was probably too stupid to realize this.
"What? How can you be so cold!"
"Someone as weak as you would never be able to understand."
"Alright that's it shorty!" Kuwabara threatened as he raised his fist and brought it down with speed to make contact with Hiei's face. However, by the time Kuwabara realized that Hiei was no where to be seen in front of him, it was too late and Kuwabara fell face first into the ground.
"Hn." Was all that came from Hiei, who appeared in front of the fallen Kuwabara.
When everyone else developed a sweetdrop from watching Hiei's and Kuwabara's quarrel, a soft moan came from the bed.
The rooms' attention focused on the bed as Botan and Keiko moved to the side so everyone could see the gentle face of a sleeping Kagome.
"Wow, she's hot!" Yusuke commented, as his eyes lay upon Kagome's face, but then he felt a hard blow to his right cheek before his body twisted to the left from the blow and falling face first into the ground.
"Yusuke you pervert!" Keiko bellowed, her hand now red from hitting Yusuke too hard, but the pain in her hand did not match the pain she felt inside…for she was jealous.
"What! I was only commenting her." Yusuke tried to reason, but saw that it was only making matters worse. Of course, being Yusuke, he didn't realize why Keiko was so upset.
"You're such a jerk!." Keiko enlightened him, Just when a certain pair of chocolate brown eyes opened, blinking once.
Sitting up from the bed, Kagome stared at her surrounding and at the people who stared back at her. Looking past them, Kagome stared at the far end of the room where a small grayish cloud started to form out of thin air.
Coming out of the cloud was an odd looking baby who just flouted above the ground as the cloud disappeared, accomplishing its job of transporting Koenma.
"Yusuke!" Koenma shouted, not realizing that Kagome was wide awake and staring at Koenma as if he was a ghost.
Yusuke's eyes were also wide in fear as he realized the trouble he was in,
"Koenma! Heh-heh hey……um…what brings you here?"
"You know exactly why I'm here! How could you have run over a girl!"
"How did you find out!" Yusuke wondered as a sweetdrop fell down from his forehead, showing his nervousness.
"Never mind that! You ran over a person! " Koenma shouted his disbelief at Yusuke.
Before Yusuke could say anything back, a frightened feminist voice spoke up from the bed,
"What's going on here!"
"She's awake!" Koenma stated the obvious, not liking any of this. How is he going to explain his sudden appearance to this girl. True, she would most likely understand better than most people, giving the fact that she was a time traveler and a powerful miko, but the fact that she doesn't know anything about the spirit world or that Koenma knew about her from the day she was born and her destiny, made everything all the more complicated. On top of all this, Koenma had to give the detective and his team another mission, one that could be the hardest one yet.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Hours past by as Koenma explained to Kagome everything about her world she didn't know; explaining the spirit detectives, spirit world, demons…all of it. Originally, Koenma had not planed on giving all of this away, but considering Kagome had seen him appear out of nowhere….well…Koenma isn't good a liar.
By the time Koenma had fully clarified everything, he was exhausted. Of course, he was far from being able to relax for now he had to explain another issue, but to his detectives.
"Ok….now that, that is settled, you have another mission Yusuke." Koenma explained, his voice showing clearly how tired he was.
"What!" Yusuke cried out as he jumped out of the chair he was sitting in and stared at Koenma as if he were crazy.
"It seems that there is a new enemy that, from my understanding, is more powerful than anyone you have fought before. Of course, we don't know that much about him or his true intentions, but we do know that it involves power and possibly the death of millions of both humans and demons.
"Sounds like Naraku…" Kagome whispered to herself, as the pain started to make its way back to the surface. She had forgotten what had happened in Feudal Japan and whished she could just forget it all; never able to remember again. However, as she just sat there, more memories came flooding back and she had to force the tears down to stop herself from crying; she did not want these strangers to see her cry or to wonder why.
Evidently, though, One person did noticed this, having heard her soft voice. Kurama knew from the beginning that this girl was holding a big secret, but just didn't know what and as he watched her and noticed her sudden depression and tears forming in her eyes, he became the more curious.
"Your next mission…is to Egypt."
"Egypt!" Echoed through out the whole house as everyone realized that trouble was coming.
