A/N: I think all the dark, dreary, depressing things on TV lately has gotten to me. I'm not quite sure where the idea came from (though the title is partially copied off the title of an episode of Detective Conan), but I decided to try my hand at it.
Disclaimer: If I owned YYH, I wouldn't be typing out a disclaimer, would I? I don't own YYH. So no sue. I'm a 17-year-old soon-to-be high school Senior. You won't get much out of me. I live on water, so if you want some shells, you can have them. If not, you're out of luck. Please do not waste your time sueing me. Really. There's nothing to be gained.
Summary: A demon is going around hunting and killing human couples at a famous beach resort in Yamaguchi, Japan. Koenma employs the Reiki Tantei to the case, along with Jin and Touya. With help from Keiko, Yukina, and four young girls with elemental powers assigned to pretend to be the girlfriends of Hiei, Kurama, Jin, and Touya, will the group be able to stop the killer before he strikes again? Or will the couples find themselves the killer's next victims?
The Moonlight Murderer-Chapter 1
"Isn't it beautiful, Masa?", the young woman asked, slipping her arm around that of her boyfriend.
Silky locks of brown hair flowed down the woman's back, lightly brushing the man's bare shoulder as she rested her head on it. Her green eyes sparkled as they met those of her beloved. The young man's blue eyes seemed to twinkle underneath his shining auburn hair.
"It's lovely", he agreed, a smile breaking out on his face. "But not as beautiful as you".
"Oh, stop", the woman protested, but she smiled none-the-less.
"Why? You are beautiful, Hitomi", he said, brushing a bit of her hair off her face. Their lips brushed together, and she released his arm to put her arms around his neck in an embrace.
The two shared a kiss underneath the beautiful moonlight, the ocean sparkling like gems around them, sapphire, emerald, and crystal clashing together on the shoreline in a glistening current, brushing on their bare feet. Somehow there were millions of stars out on this night, dispite the full moon. It was the perfect night for couples to express their undying love for one another. Masa abruptly broke the kiss short and reached into his pocket. Hitomi knew what was coming next, somehow, and gasped. The ring was gorgeous, but modest. A single sapphire heart gleamed from between two diamonds-he'd remembered her favorite gemstone.
Masa took one of her hands in his own. "Hitomi?", he asked. "Will you marry me?".
She stared at him, speechless. She could only nod her head. Her pleased, though somewhat stunned, expression suddenly grew frightened. Her green eyes widened.
"MASA! LOOK OUT!", she screamed, as the dark figure came into view.
Masa turned around, but it was too late. A moment later, he lay dead on the coastline, icy water lapping at his body. Hitomi's scream echoed through the brilliant, starry night...
"Why are we here now?", Yusuke Urameshi demaned, rubbing his eyes. "I was having a wonderful dream...", he trailed off at the grave expression on Koenma's face.
Koenma stood in his teenage form, his expression no less serious than if his own father had died.
"Hey...what's wrong?", Kazuma Kuwabarra, Yusuke's best friend, asked.
Behind Yusuke and Kuwabarra stood Shuichi Minamino, better known to them as Kurama, Kurama's best friend, Hiei, and two people the group didn't normally see, a cheerful wind demon by the name of Jin, and Jin's quieter best friend, Touya.
"This is not a mission I wanted to send you guys on...". Koenma sucked in his breath. "There's a demon going around...he or she prays on human couples. This demon waits until the night of the full moon, where they attack and feed on a young couple. We think the demon spends the rest of the month watching couples and deciding which one he or she wants to feed on."
The guys looked horrified.
"Wait. You mean you want us to pretend to be gay to lure this demon out of hiding?", Kuwabarra exclaimed. "Not quite...Botan, tell them to come in now".
Botan walked in, followed closely by Keiko, who was wearing a pink skirt with a white blouse, a flower in her short brown hair, and Yukina, dressed in a white sleeveless kimono, her sea-green hair loose and hanging around her shoulders. Curiously enough, there were four girls behind Keiko and Yukina.
The first girl had dark reddish-brown hair that fell three-fourths the way down her back and bright blue eyes behind a pair of wire-rim glasses. She wore a set of plaid pants with a black shirt and a long-sleeved black duster, a black ribbon keeping her hair secured in a ponytail.
Beside her stood a girl with short blond hair that fell softly into her grey eyes. She wore a pair of blue jeans and a simple green shirt that was half tucked-into her pants, half pulled out.
The other two girls in the group had a sort of punkish feel about them. The taller of the two girls had blond hair that fell to the middle of her back and green eyes. She wore black cargo pants, which were very baggy on her, and a tight black shirt that said "Foolish Mortal" on it in silver writing.
The shorter girl had red hair that was a shade darker than Kurama's to her shoulders and yellowish-green eyes. She was dressed exclusively in black-black leather pants, a black tanktop, and black biker boots.
The guys stared at Koenma in confussion.
Koenma sighed.
"Are you all that dense?", he asked, looking pointedly at Touya and Kurama as he said it. "It's simple. Yusuke and Kuwabarra allready have girlfriends..."
Kurama nodded his head in understanding.
"And you're going to have these four young ladies pretend to be our girlfriends so we can lure the killer to us?".
"Very perceptive", Koenma replied. "They're psychics. Each girl can control one of the elements. So they'll be able to help you with your own abilities, and you with theirs".
He nodded towards the green-eyed blond.
"Kurama, this is Jade. She's going to be your "girlfriend" for the mission."
Kurama gave Jade a smile that she didn't return.
"Hiei", Koenma called out.
Hiei scowled. The girl with the hair so much like Kurama's stepped foward.
"Hiei, this is Toby".
Hiei just stared at her. She, in return, did not smile at him. Hiei glared at Koenma-Koenma gulped. He had the feeling he'd be under high-security lock-down to be away from Hiei for a while.
"Jin".
Jin's ears perked up as the girl in the green shirt stepped foward.
"Jin, this is Ava and she's yours to care for".
Jin smiled brightly. Touya looked at the last girl, with the long hair and blue eyes.
"My name's Mae", she said, not waiting for Koenma to introduce her.
Touya nodded at her.
"Allright. Now, I managed to get a nice condo for you guys on the beaches of Yamaguchi. Most of the murders have occured on the beaches. You'll only have until the next full moon, so I suggest you use this month effectively. That means no slacking off, Yusuke...".
Yusuke clearly wasn't paying any attention. He was leaping up and down with Kuwabarra, the two of them singing about beach resorts and vacations with loads of pretty girls. Koenma just sighed. There were times when he gave up with his tantei. This was one of those times.
The next day the group arrived at the condo Koenma had assigned them to. He wasn't kidding when he said it was nice. Six bedrooms and four bathrooms, a kitchen, and living room complete with a working cable TV made up the house's interior. They split up so there were two to each bedroom, with two rooms sharing each bathroom.
Yusuke and Kuwabarra shared a bathroom with Keiko and Yukina, since they were allready dating. Hiei and Kurama roomed together, and shared their bathroom with Jin and Touya, while Toby and Jade shared a room and had joint custody over the bathroom with Mae and Ava.
"Well, people. I guess we get ourselves comfortable for now", Yusuke said.
"Yeah. Because tommarrow, we're going to have alot of work to do", Mae added.
Yusuke sighed.
"You just had to remind me...", he groaned.
"Hey, Urameshi! Help me get these suitcases in the right bedrooms, will ya?", Kuwabarra called.
Yusuke grumbled and groaned, but obediantly helped his friend move the suitcases around. They spent the rest of the day getting themselves situated in the condo that would be their home for the next month.
Little did they know that, unbeknowst to them, a dark figure watched them from the shadows. And smirked...
