"Anyway I have a mission for you, if you're up to it," Koenma challenged.

Hiei stopped, "What do you mean if I'm up to it?"

"Well you obviously don't like being seen like that," Koenma said

"I don't care what other people think. They have a problem and I kill them, end of story," Hiei said.

"Good. Then it's settled you and the other spirit detectives (sorry sadandlonely.) leave tomorrow," Koenma said.

With that Koenma walked back down the hallway and into his office. Hiei realized he had gotten tricked. He didn't really want to go.

That evening Hiei finally went back to Kurama's house and knocked on the door. After a minute of no one answering Hiei jumped up to the tree beside Kurama's window. Kurama left the window open for Hiei whenever he wanted to drop in without being seen by his mother.

Hiei thought nothing of it and jumped through the window. The room was pitch black and no one was to be seen. Hiei shrugged and walked over to pick up his cloak which was on the floor. As he stood back up he noticed something wrong out of the corner of his eye.

On the floor was something red and crystal shaped. He walked over and picked it up. He thought of where he had seen it before and realized it was from Yukina's hair. He clutched it in his hands and made his way downstairs.

The stairs creaked as he walked down them.

"I'm looking for Hiei," someone said.

Hiei stayed hidden in the shadows of the stairs.

"That would be me, what do you want?" Hiei asked.

He couldn't even imagine how bad his reputation would be ruined if the heartless Hiei had a sunburn.

"I need to be able to see you to talk with you regarding certain people," the voice said.

Hiei glared even thought the person couldn't see him. He thought for a moment, he recognized that voice, but couldn't place it. He took out his katana and walked unsteadily down the stairs into the faint glow from the kitchen light that had been left on.

Hiei looked up from the floor. A figure stood in front of him about his height with bright ice blue eyes staring back at him.

"So it is true. Urameshi was tellin' the truth!" Someone else yelled. The light switched on and there stood Touya in front of him and Jin to the side. In the kitchen were Yusuke, and Kurama who both walked out.

Hiei was beyond furious, he was enraged. They had made him think something bad happened to Yukina and he had fallen for it.

"Geez shorty a little pink in the face aintcha?" Jin said. He floated over to Hiei and touched his skin. Hiei tried to grab his finger which he pulled away just in time.

"Hiei scared of what happened to us?" Yusuke asked.

By us he meant Yukina and everyone knew it.

Hiei held up the crystal from Yukina's hair, "How'd you get this?"

"While Kuwabara gave her a kiss when he wrapped his arms around her shoulders he pulled it out of her hair," Yusuke teased.

"HE WHAT!" Hiei exclaimed.

Yusuke and Jin started cracking up. Touya retreated to the couch and stared at the floor. Kurama went over beside the pinkish Hiei.

Hiei tightened his grip on the katana he had pulled out.

"Hiei relax their joking. You actually think I'd let Kuwabara do such a senseless thing?" Kurama asked.

"Why'd you let them do this to me fox?" Hiei asked.

"It was just for a little amusement. Don't be alarmed," Kurama replied.

"Koenma has another assignment for us," Hiei said, changing the subject, "He wants us there tomorrow."

With that Hiei put away his katana and walked out. He was tired of all of their foolish games and practical jokes. Hiei put his cloak on and walked down the street. He still held the crystal in his hand.
