Chapter 1: Lost Tourists from Japan
It all started one day when Catrina, Brianna and Darlene were at California Adventure to celebrate the end of STAR testing. The three friends were sitting on a bench all looking their "best"; shorty Catrina had her long brown hair in a braid and glasses on as always and was eating an ice cream bar with a water bottle shoved between her legs, Darlene sat about head and shoulders above her friends, had a ring of chocolate from her ice cream around her mouth and was wearing a large Goofy hat on her head and last there was Brianna with her short brown hair in a ponytail and was stuffing herself with cotton candy. As the friends sat on their bench watching the people walk by a group of four teens walked into the park, the first two looked excited at being there while the other two were more subdued in their appearances. Of course these teens were Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama and Hiei, here on yet another mission for Koenma the Jr. ruler of the Spirit World.
Yusuke stretched his arms skyward and said with a smile, "This is great! We're at a theme park in America and don't have to worry about orders from some dumb toddler."
Kurama shook his head and said in his usual quite way, "Remember Yusuke we are here because of our mission…or did you forget as soon as we walked in the gates?"
A look of cluelessness spread over Yusuke's face as he and the group walked deeper in to the park and then moaned, "Oh yeah, we've gotta find those three reincarnated guardians of…that one important thing."
In an exasperated voice Kuwabara whines, "God Uramishi, I even remember what they guarded!"
Hiei smirks sarcastically and says with equal sarcasm, "Really baka? Please do us the honor of enlightening us then."
The carrot top ignores the jib, puffs out his chest to attempt to look important but only looks stupider and states, "They guarded a powerful demon artifact called the Golden Chalice of Fate!"
A slightly shocked look crosses Hiei's face as he admits, "Hn, it appears the baka has a brain after all."
Kuwabara swelled with pride at the admission from the short demon.
Yusuke perked up and said, "Yeah uh-huh, that's great and all but what did this thing do?"
Kuwabara deflated and shrugged, "To hell if I know."
At that Hiei shut his eyes, chuckled quitely and said, "I take back the brain statement."
Kurama, who had been naturally listening to the exchange sighed and felt he should let the others in on what he knew so he answered Yusuke's unanswered question with, "If you must know, the Golden Chalice of Fate had the power to give and take life at the wielder's command. Naturally something like that would be highly dangerous in the wrong hands, hence it being guarded by three powerful demons instead of one."
The two humans looked at Kurama with puzzled looks while Hiei merely scowled in the opposite direction.
Yusuke looked curiously at the fox and inquired, "Say Kurama how do you know this, cause I'm sure I'd remember if the baby told us something like that and it's ringing no bells."
Kurama then responded softly, "I know because Youko and Kuronue were the last demons to try and steal it, and that's all I'll tell you for now."
Hiei saw where the conversation was going and decided to avoid it entirely so he asked the detective, "So these three ningins, what do we know about them so we can find them and get the hell out of this place?"
"Well," Yusuke started as he dug into his backpack and pulled out a rather thin and rumpled looking manila file folder, scanned the few pages and recited, "We know they're 14, from some place called La Mirada an-"
"Do we know what they look like?" Kuwabara asked.
Yusuke waved the thin, pictureless file and said, "No."
"Hn, what about names?" Hiei demanded.
Yusuke then waved the practically useless file in the small demon's direction, "Again no."
"What about any information that will make finding them easier, because I'm sure there are several 14 year old girls in La Mirada," Kurama asked politely.
"If ya'd all just shut the hell up I'd be able to tell ya the rest, I'm working with very limited information here!" the spirit detective exploded.
This loss of temper on Yusuke's part had caused many of the people around them to stare with looks of confusion and irritation at the lack of consideration on the boy's part. It was probably for the best that they had spoken in Japanese the entire time or else things would have been very awkward. Among those interested by the loud group of foreigners were the three girls on the bench, finishing their snacks.
Kuwabara then said in a softer but still irritated voice, "Gees Uramishi, no one asked you to throw a tizzy just tell us what we want and we'll leave it at that."
"Alright!" Yusuke exclaimed in a softer voice, "One's pretty intelligent, the other is always hungry and the last is obsessed with anime."
Hiei rolled his eyes, "And this will help us how, Detective?"
"Let me finish," he growled, "Because they are reincarnations of extremely powerful demons they have very high spirit energy levels, they have nicknames: Jin, Sam and Phoenix and they all want to go to Japan. AND THAT'S ALL THERE IS!"
Hiei threw his arms into the air and exclaimed, "Oh that makes things so much easier! All we have to do is scour this La Mirada place looking for three girls with high spirit levels and convince them to come to Japan with us!"
At this they all once again broke into an argument that no one showed any signs of winning. By this time the three friends were intently watching the fray that unfolded before them.
Catrina took in strangeness of the boy's and said, "These guys are pretty funny looking…even by California standards."
Brianna looked at the open paper that was being fought over and said with a sadistic smile, "Looks like they're lost and arguing over their park map, stupid tourists."
Darlene had just returned from throwing away her popsicle stick and asked Brianna, "Hey can I have some of your cotton candy?"
Kuwabara, as everyone knows, has a very strong sixth sense and can feel when high spirit energies are present and he finally decided to pay attention to his tingling sixth sense. He focused his mind and felt it, the tinge in the air of some very high and untrained spirit energy and it was close. "Guys, I think they're somewhere around here!" he said.
"There is no way they could be this close or we'd sense them too," Hiei responded.
A look of pure seriousness covers Kuwabara's face as he persists, "No I'm serious, I really feel something and it's coming from," he scans the area and his gaze stops on the three girls on the bench and thrusts his chin in their direction, "from those three, I'm sure of it."
Kurama knew better than to ignore a reading from the orange haired teen, so he turned to Hiei and said, "Limited witnesses would be ideal, don't you think?"
Hiei nodded his head and the spot on his forehead where his Jagan eye was began to glow as the small demon worked his powers on the humans and the next thing the seven knew everyone on in the park, minus themselves and the rides, had been frozen as if time itself had stopped.
The three girls looked up in confusion as everything went quite then Darlene exclaimed, "What happened to everyone? Why are they all frozen?" Then she looked up and saw the four teens coming at them with looks of pure determination in their eyes and yelled, "Who they heck are those guys?!?!?"
