Chapter I: Accepting the Mission
--------------------------
" Do you accept this mission?" A baby behind the desk asked the three cloaked figures infront of him
" How much?" A female voice asked under one of the hoods
" 20,000" The baby said
" 25,000 and we'll consider it" said another female voice
" 25,ooo!?!?!?" the guy asked shocked
" 25,000, take it or leave it" said the third female voice
" I had a feeling that calling you three would cost me a fortune" The baby sulked
" If you think that our survices cost too much, you could always tell your Reikai Tankai to crossdress" The girls smirked, "Koenma"
" They won't" Koenma stated, " So you do you three take the job?"
" As soon as you pay up" said one voice
" You know, if your that desperate, we should have charged higher" another voice joked
" So let me get this straight, you have to go to the Makai dinner meeting, and you want us to accompany you as your Spirit Detective's dates to act as your body guards?" one of the voice asked
" Exactly, there has been reports of assassinations and I am forced to go on this meeting so we could actually find out about the assassins" Koenma pointed out
" Fine mission accepted" they said together
"' Well I guess now I should introduce you to the Spirit Dectives" Koenma said as he pressed a botton on his desk
A moment later, the door opened and four guys entered
" What do want binky breath" the boy in green said
" Ah-hem" Koenma coughed, " Yusuke, remember what I told you about the dinner meeting? Well these are the girls who I said will be your partners for now. It cost me a lot" Koenma muttered the last part
" Well I'm Yusuke, this is Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei" he introduced everyone, " Who are you?"
" Ari Murai. 15 years old. that's all you need to know" one of the girls said as she took off her cloak
" She was 5'4". She wore a midnight black fighting kimono with a phoenix engraved in it. There were slits that go up to her thigh that allows her to run. The kimono goes down to her ankles and has a scarlet sash tied around her waist. Her eyes were midnight blue with a bit of pale white in them making you think of a lake under a moonlit night. Her raven black hair goes past her waist and had red highlights in them. With in the sash there was a shiny flute.
" As soon as she finished taking her cloak off. the spirit dectives were wide eyed looking at her, even Hiei who tried to hide it
Kuwabara who was drooling, walked up to her and grasped her hands.
" Will you marry me?" Kuwabara asked
" No" she simply said, grabbing his arms and flinging him towards Koenma
Fortunatly Koenma was too short and Kuwabara hit the wall
" Woah" Yusuke gasped
" Kira Maxwell. 15." said the girl who just removed her cloak.
She was 5'2" and was wearing a pure black kimono, much like Ari's except that it was pretty much plain velvet, and a red sash. The velvet sometimes flashed a dark violet in the light, showing part of an almost invisible design.There were golden anklet rings on her ankles and she had the same type of golden rings on her wrists.She had waist length wavy black hair with brown highlights in the curves of the waves in the light, enormous innocent looking violet colored eyes and a heart-shaped face.
They all gaped at her too.
Somehow Kuwabara woke up and grabbed Kira's arm
" Will you date me?" He asked drooling
" No" she glared and punched him and gave him a round-house kick, knocking him out again, " I'm taken"
" Hi everybody. My name is Yumi Murai. I'm Ari's sister. I'm also 15 years old" Yumi giggled as she removed her cloak
"She was 5'2". She had on a blue kimono like her sisters. There on her kimono was a white tiger. She also had on a white sash. Her eyes were a lighter shade of blue then Ari's. It makes you think that you are lookin at pale clouds in the night sky. On her sash hung two large fans.
Yusuke and Kurama stared at her. Kurama had a blush on his face as he approched her
" It's nice to meet you" he kissed her hand and handed her a rose
" Thank you" she blushed as she accepted the rose
" Well you two could be partners to the dinner" Koenma said, " Who else?"
" So some of us will go in with you and the others will stay outside right?" Ari asked
" Yes" Koenma replied
" Well if thats the case, I'm staying outside" Ari responded
" Then that means I'll have to go" Kira said
" I'LL BE YOUR DATE" Kuwabara woke up again
" Will you go with Yusuke or Kuwabara . I doubt Hiei will want to go to a formal party
" Yusuke" Kira responded flatly
" Then what about me?" Kuwabara asked
" I guess you'll have to stay with Ari and Hiei" Yusuke smirked
" Alright!!!!" Kuwabara shouted as he grabbed Ari's arm, " You and I will be partners"
" I'll give you the count of 3 to let go" Ari glared
" What are you talk-"
" 1"
" Hey wait-"
" 2"
" I said-"
" 3"
Kuwabara was thrown back at anther wall
" I would think he learned his lesson" Kira sweatdropped
" Well Koenma I guess we got this planned out already. We'll meet you hear tomorrow" Ari said as the three of them walked into the shadows and dissappeared
" How-" Yusuke asked
" It's called shadow walking" Hiei replied monotonusly
" Well we have to get ready for tomorrow" Kurama said as they dragged Kuwabara out of the office
----Day of the Dinner----
" Do we HAVE to wear these damn suits????" Yusuke complained.
"Hn." Ari said.
"Is that a yes hn or no hn?" Yusuke asked, making a joke out of it.
Ari just glared.
"Alright alright! sheesh...no need to get pissed..." Yusuke grumbled. He was kinda sad that Keiko couldn't be there since it WAS a formal dinner party, and he knew that she would have enjoyed it very much besides the fact that an assassin could pop in anytime.
The girls were still wearing their kimonos from earlier. Only the guys had changed.
"Aren't you girls gonna change?" Kuwabara asked.
"No." Kira answered stiffly.
She was glaring at everything that came too close to her. Yumi was the only one that was currently remotely happy.
"Whoa!" Yusuke said in awe. The other tantei members and Yumi were also in awe. Only Boton and Koenma weren't. Kira and Ari's expressions were pretty much the same still but they were looking at everything in amazement inside.
The room was decorated in glimering and sparking crystals and diamonds high up in and around the ceiling. The walls were a pale yellow color and fabric ribbons were hanging on the walls. The windows were made of slear sparking glass, as was the ceiling and some parts of the walls. There was a decorated stage up front for entertainers to perform in.
Koenma walked up to the stage and gave a short speech of welcome befroe announcing that the party should commence. At those words, the caterers suddenly all wheeled in and stopped at each individual tabls of 8 people each to serve the guests.
Ari, Hiei, and Kuwabara all filled a plate and walked outside. Then Kuwabara tried to hit on Ari again, but she ignored him for almost the entire period that they had to stay outside. Just when there was only 5 minutes left for their shift, Ari glared at him and flipped him into a wall again. Kuwabara fell unconscious.
Hiei just stared impassively at the entire scene. Inside, he was amazed that Ari could do such a thing and actually lift Kuwabara up to swing him into the wall.
When Ari left, Hiei left with her. They went back inside. By this time, most people were done eating and the tables nearest to the center were cleared off.
"What's going on?" Ari asked.
"Performers." Kira said.
"Hn...Yusuke, Yumi, your turns." Ari told them.
"Alright." Yumi said.
"Awww!!! Just when the entertainment was about to start, too!!!!" Yusuke complained. They both left outside anyways though.
"Up next! The Masters Winner and Barton playing a duet!" The announcer said.
The curtains then lifted to show Quatre sitting in a chair in the middle of the stage while Trowa was standing behind him.
Kira and Ari were expressionless on the outside, but were going, 'QUATRE??!??!? TROWA!??!??! WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING HERE?!??!?!?!?' in their minds of course.
Everone was quietly listening to the quiet soft melody that they were playing or were dancing in the middle of the room. When Quatre and Trowa were done playing their pieces, Trowa bowed silently while Quatre gave a bright smile to everyone in the room.
As they walked off stage, Kira and Ari's eyes followed them until it rested on a certain amethyst-eyed demon. Boton, Koenma, Kurama, Hiei, and Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Yumi who just came in, were all shocked when Kira and Ari suddenly smiled and dashed off to give Duo a VERY big hug, all the while squealing like fan-girls.
Duo yelped as the girls landed on him.
"DUUUUUUUUUUOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" They both squealed happily. Aware that a lot of people were staring at them, They both glared at everyone until they all turned away.
"Man....you two just made me deaf...." Duo moaned.
"What are you doing here anyways?" Kira demanded.
"Weeeeeeelll....Quatre and Trowa were hired to play here....and Heero and I decided to tag along." Duo said.
"Ohhhhhh......." Ari said.
They continued to talk for a while before the girls started to full out flirt with Duo. The tanteis were all shocked at the turn of events.
"They....did NOT just squeal like little hyper fan-girls,...right....?" Yusuke asked, sweatdropping.
"No...apparently, they just did..." Kurama said, his shock slowly turning to amusement as he saw Hiei's reacion. "Ne, Hiei, don't you think Ari or Kira makes a good couple with that guy?" Kurama teased Hiei.
Hiei just full-out glared at him. Then he turned to glare at Duo.
"Well...that...was interesting...." Koenma said, slowly coming out of his shock. 'Hmm....I can use that guy to get the girls to work for me for free...especially since they're so expensive......' Koenma plotted. "Boton, look up the information on that guy with the long braid over there."
Boton froze for a minute before responding. "Which one?"
Koenma pointed. "That one."
Boton stared at Duo in shock for a while before starting to giggle. "Sorry, Koenma, but I'm not gonna get any info from him."
"Not FROM him! ABOUT him! From the databanks!" Koenma said.
"Nope, he's not gonna be there." Boton giggled again.
"And exactly WHY not?!?!?!?!" Koenma was geting frustrated.
"I'm not tell-ing...!!!" Boton said in a singy-song voice. "You'll have to find out for yourself."
" What do you mean I have to find out myself" Koenma demanded
" Well, if you look at Kira and that guy, don't you see the resemblence?" Boton asked
" Well they do look alike" Koenma thought to himself
" Are they related or something?" Koenma asked
" With the little data I found on them, it was said that Kira has a brother but there were no information on the brother" Boton explained
" So you think thats her brother?" Yusuke asked
Before anyone could answer there war a loud crash and the lights went off.
" Ari" Kira looked at her friend
Ari nooded signaling that she heard
Ari and Kira conjured up flames in their hands and saw that Hiei and Yumi had done the same.
" Koenma take the others back, we'll take it from here.
Koenma nodded and summoned up a portal. Boton and the other guest ran in to the portal with Koenma. The portal closed behind them.
Suddenly the lights turn back on.and demons of all kinds where standing around the spirit dectives and around Ari, Kira, and Yumi.
" Looks like the fun has started" Ari, Kira and Yumi smirked
Ari took out a blue crystal flute from her sash. Suddenly a blade came from a hidden place of the flute. Kira took out her daggers that had red flames trapped in amethyst, and Yumi took out her large razor sharp fans.
" Woah" the detectives gasped
The demons then came charging in all directions. Yusuke tried to shoot some of the demons without shooting his comrads. Kuwabara had his spirit sword, Kurama his rose whip, and Hiei his own katana.
Yusuke suddenly shot one of the pillers causing part of the building to tumble.
" Grr...Mr. Spirit detective would you be a LITTLE MORE CAREFUL!!!!" Ari, Kira, and Yumi shouted at him
"Hehehe...sorry" Yusuke laughed nervously
" If Koenma tells us to pay, I'm blaming on Yusuke." Ari muttered
" Serously I can't believe Koenma chose him as a spirit dective" Kira mumbled to Ari
" HEY, I heard that!!" Yusuke yelled
" This is taking too long" Yumi called
" I can't use any song technique cause it'll effect them too" Ari called back, " but I can still freeze them"
" Icicle Assault" Ari called. Ice sharper than anything the detectives have every seen came out of nowhere and froze the demons in there place.
" My turn" Kira said, " Firestorm!!!" Bright red flames encircled the demons and inceinerated them.
" Woah" the gang said, " I didn't know they were that good. Remind ourselves not to get on their bad side"
The Reikai Tentai nodded in agreement
" Where done here, let's report to Koenma" Ari said
Everyone nodded and Yumi summoned a portal
They were about to step in when Ari and Kira sensed something behind them. They turned around to block but it was too late. Two black darks embedded themselves in Ari and Kira's arm.
" Shit!!!!" Kira cursed as they pulled the darts out of their arm
" We let our guard down" Ari mummbled
" Hey are you two okay?" Yusuke asked
" I'll save you" Kuwabara said
" Who's going to save them from you?" Hiei mummbled
" Hey why you-" Kuwabara started
" SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!" Yumi yelled
Everyone except Ari and Kira was surprised at the outburst from the usually happy and cheerfull girl
" We'll be...knocked...out for...a while" Ari and Kira whispered before they lost concience and fell. Lucky for them Kurama caught Kira and Hiei caught Ari
" Let's hurry" Yumi said as they ran into the portal
They arrived in a living room to what looked like a huge house
" Put them in their rooms" Yumi instructed
" And where will that be?" Hiei said annoyed
" My sister's bedroom door has a red phoenix on it and Kira's room has a silver dragon" Yumi said, " We just gave the last antidote to someone so I have to go and call a really close friend of our's to ask for a bottle."
" While I do that, you two morons get some wet towels for them. The kitchen is to your left. The bedrooms are upstairs" Yumi said walking away
" Hn"
" Sure
" Who are you calling morons!!!!"
Those where what the detectives said before doing their job
Yumi
" Hey Heero, can you bring something over?" Yumi said into the phone
Ari: Ooo...its my turn to write a cliffhanger.
