Sorry it's kinda short but I promise a chapter, maybe two, by Sunday. I also promise that it will be a shocker!
Last time I closed my eyes, I was in a tree. As I open them again, I find myself in an unknown place. Looking around, I see i'm in a field of flowers. It's like a vast ocean of colors. I walk around, seemingly looking for something, but what, I don't know. It feels like i've been walking in circles for hours yet my feet never strayed from their straight path. The field seems to never end. At last it comes to the edge and a forest lays on it's border. Entering it, the world becomes dark. I look behind me but the sea of flowers was no longer there. Shaking my head, I continue forward. The fauna around seems to lean in towards me as if seeing if I'm worthy of being on their land. I hear a soft melody in the distance and follow it. That voice is that of a woman. I come across a small spring and a person is there. Fox ears twitch on a head of white-grey hair. The song stops as the woman turns towards me. I cannot see her face for she wears a mask. I stare into her amethyst eyes…so familiar, yet not at the same time.
Hiei sat up quickly from his perch. Looking from side to side, he saw he was in the tree he fell asleep in. He shook his head.
"Why do I keep having this dream?" he thought out loud.
"Hey Hiei?"
He glared as Yusuke and Kazuma appeared under the tree.
"Shorty! Koenma wants to see us so get your ass down here!" the orange haired one exclaimed.
Hiei jumps down and lands gracefully in front of them. He places a hand on his katana's hilt and looked up at Kazuma.
"I am not short! Don't make me slice you into pieces!"
The tall one paled and nodded vigorously. Smirking at his fear, the silent shadow followed Yusuke towards the portal to the Reikai, closely followed by the idiot.
In Reikai
They emerged from the portal and were greeted by the toddler king.
"Good evening. I have another mission for you, a rescue mission. A group of bounty hunters have captured someone."
"Who?" Kurama asked as he walked in with Shuichi.
"A woman by the name of Tenshi Shiro. She is a vital part of Reikai and must be saved."
"WHere is she?" asked Yusuke, his intrest perking.
"In the Ningenkai. She was abducted, just like Sakuso."
"Well give us the location and we'll save her." exclaimed Kazuma, jumping from his seat.
"Idiot. We don't even know what she looks like." said Hiei, chucking at paper weight on Koenma's desk at his head.
"Hey!"
"Let me just say you can't miss her. How many angels do you know?" Koenma asked, smirking.
"That's impossible. They don't exist." said Kurama, eyeing him.
"Well you aren't suppose to exist either." Shuichi countered.
"Well she's real. You should get a move on. This portal," Koenma waved his hand and a swirling blue vortex appered. "leads just outside the warehouse she is in. Be careful. The demons who captured her are very dangerous."
"Nothing we can't handle." Yusuke responded giving a thumbs up.
They, excluding Shuichi and Koenma, stood up and entered the portal. The demi-god sighed.
"This mission feels foreboding."
"What do you mean Koenma?"
"I can't shake the feeling that something bad will happen but to who, I don't know."
Ningenkai
There were hundreds of demons within the warehouse. As soon as the Reikai Tantei arrived, they were fighting. The hunters were strong, lower-A class, but the detectives were stronger. They battled their way in and up a few floors. Many injuries were obtained but they pushed forward. All the demons were killed except for the leader, Nagashita. He matched them all in power yet they fought hard and fast.
Kazuma went in serch of Shiro as his friends fought. She was in a room, her arms, legs, and chains chained. Her chest rose and fell heavily for a few ribs were broken. Using his spirit sword, he cut her chains and, ever so carefully, carried her through a portal.
The others were getting tired and sloppy yet they were dragging Nagashita down with them. Yusuke and Kurama were knocked down and Hiei leapt at his opponent. Katanas met in a flurry of sparks. They battled back and forth until Nagashita got the upper hand. He smacked Hiei's katana away from him and jammed him in the side with the same needle that Botan was stabbed with. He grunted in pain and kicked him away. His vision went in and out of focus as he fell to the ground and darkness consumed his eyes. The leader began to laugh manicly but started to cough up blood. He looked down and saw a bamboo staff piercing through his chest. He hadn't even felt it. The owner withdrew it and, smirking one last time, Nagashita fell dead. Kurama removed his energy form the piece of bamboo and it turned back into a stick. He walked over to Hiei, picked him up and headed into the portal that appered, closely followed by Yusuke.
