Chapter 1
The sun beat down on the back of a teenage boy's head as he walked along an unfamiliar path.
"Man, why the hell do I have to do this! I always get stuck doing all the hard stuff!" yelled Yusuke Urameshi to himself.
"Well, you're the Rekai Tantei, Yusuke. It's your job. You should have thought this over before you agreed to it. Now calm down and speed up, or you'll never find them," replied an all-to-familiar voice from behind.
Yusuke whirled around and came face-to-face with a girl. She had blue hair in a ponytail on the side of her head, and was dressed in a pink kimono. She was floating about three inches off the ground on what appeared to be an oar.
"Botan! I didn't agree to this, that stupid baby that you call a boss forced me into it! I was dragged into doing cleaning up his messes!" yelled Yusuke. "And where the hell did you come from!"
"From Rekai, of coarse!" replied Botan.
"That's not what I meant, stupid!" yelled Yusuke, turning back around and marching promptly forward. "How much longer do we have to go anyway?"
"We? Oh, no, you're on your own. Well, not entirely. Hiei and Kurama should be joining you soon, I'm going back to Rekai," said Botan as she flew off.
"Hey, how come you never stick around! You always leave, just when things look like they're gonna get tough!" he yelled after her.
"That's not true! I helped your precious Keiko from those zombies Suzaku sent! If I hadn't been there, she might've been killed!" called Botan, making sure to stress the word 'precious', knowing Yusuke would get angry.
"BOTAN!" yelled the boy as he aimed his finger at her, preparing to "load and shoot".
"Surely even a baka like you can have some self control." said a cold voice from above.
"Now, now Hiei. Be nice. Its only fair for him get mad. He does get stuck cleaning up after Koenma." Said a teenage redhead, stepping out from under the tree Hiei was in.
"Oh, hi Kurama. Hiei." said Yusuke casually.
"Hmpf" was the only sound from the small fire youkai.
"Hello, Yusuke. Hiei, don't be so grumpy. It's not his fault you got stuck doing this too." Said Kurama, smiling pleasantly up at Hiei.
"Whatever." Was the only reply from Hiei, as he crossed his arms and looked away.
"Hey!" yelled Yusuke, catching both Hiei and Kurama off guard. "I don't know what your problem is, but you don't have to take it out on me and Kurama! If you have a problem with being here, take it up with Koenma!"
Hiei and Kurama stared, both slightly amazed he would yell at Hiei. Anyone who knew Hiei would know that if you valued your life, do NOT pick a fight with him when he's mad. Hiei drew his sword and made a move to jump down, but lost his balance in the process, crashing down to earth. Everything was silent for a full minute, until Yusuke fell to the ground with laughter. Blushing a violent shade a red, Hiei stood up. He looked over at Kurama and was appalled to find that he was struggling to keep himself from laughing. With his pride and dignity ripped to shreds, Hiei stormed off.
"Oh, man! Wait 'till Kuwabara hears about this! Hey, Kurama, did he trip over that cloak of his?" asked Yusuke when he had calmed down, some minutes later.
"No, he's just off balance because he, like you and me, has no Spirit Energy." came the reply.
"WHAT?" yelled Yusuke.
"Oh, well, I guess Koenma didn't tell you. Well, because we were sent to the past for this mission, we've all lost our Spirit Energy. I'm afraid you're going to have to do all the fighting, seeing as Hiei and I are pretty much useless without ours." replied Kurama with a sweatdrop.
"Well, that would explains Hiei's grumpy-ass mood. But, why would he lose his balance? I've lost all of mine, and you don't see me falling out of trees," said Yusuke. At the mention of "falling out of trees", he rolled on the ground with more laughter than before.
"Well, you see, while Hiei is very fast and agile by himself, his Jagan eye makes him even more so. We were sent back to a time before he got it," answered the kitsune. Seeing the bewildered expression on the Tantei's face, he added, "Oh, he wasn't born with it. He had it surgically applied for his own personal reasons."
"Right… Why did he get it? Wasn't it painful?" asked the raven-haired boy.
"I don't think it's my place to tell you why. That's something you need to ask Hiei. And yes, it was painful." said Kurama.
"Psh, yeah right! There's no way I'm asking him! Everyone knows he'll only open up to you," said Yusuke, standing up and brushing the dirt off his pants.
"You'd be surprised…" said Kurama, turning to walk after the long departed fire youkai.
"What d'ya mean? Kurama! What are you talking about? Where are you going!" Yusuke called after the departing kitsune.
"You'll see soon enough. Now let's get going. It's going to get dark soon, and we have yet to find this mysterious InuYasha and company." Kurama called back.
Yusuke ran to catch up with Kurama, and they walked off together, in search of InuYasha and his friends… (Hey, what about Hiei!)
