Chapter 1
Flashback
A little girl about 10 years old sat on her bed reading a book when she saw her mother standing in the doorway, "Mama, why do you have your coat on are we going somewhere?" Her mother came in and sat down beside her. She knew what had to be done but she needed to stay strong. "Kaytari, I want you to listen to me and do exactly what I say do you understand?" She never heard her mother talk like that, she sounded so sad.
"Yes mama, I understand."
"I'm going away. The minute I leave this house I want you to lock the doors and put up these seals," She pulled the seals outs and gave them to her daughter. "I want you to know I love you." Naomi grabbed Kaytari's chin and looked deep into her silver eyes, "No matter what you may hear or find out as you get older, I'm doing what's best for you." That being said, Naomi got up and was prepared to leave when she felt her daughter pull her into a hug.
"Will I ever see you again?"
"Not for a long time."
"How long am I supposed to stay in here with the seals up?"
"Two weeks." Kaytari stepped back and looked at her mother and saw tears in her eyes. It was at that moment she could feel her mother's distress. But, as quick as it came it was gone and she felt as ease.
"Everything will be fine." They said together.
Naomi smiled, now she knew for certain that she had to make everything right. She got down on one knee and gave Kaytari a necklace with a ruby pendant. "I want you to keep this with you at all times, never let anyone take this from you. If someone manages to get it from you, I want you to do everything in your power to get it back. No matter what."
"What's so special about it ?"
"You need it to carry on my legacy. In time I trust you'll know what to do with it. I must go now, remember what I said."
End Flashback
Kaytari woke up to the sound of a bird chirping very loudly. She thought it was a bit odd, but then remembered that she'd left the window open last night. When she rolled over to look at the window, she saw a small red bird perched right inside her window chirping and looking right at her. When she sat up it stopped and turned around. Instead of flying off it just sat there. She looked at her clock and it read 9:04.
"Time to get up I guess." She said, as she maneuvered the piles of clothes around her bed. After about 20 minuets Kaytari was dressed and headed to the park.

"Koenma sir! I have some news from one of our scouts in the Human world"
"Well, what is it George I'm very busy so spit it out already." Koenma said while stamping papers
"Yes sir, they said that Naomi's daughter is still alive. They have been watching her, they also believe that Naomi left her the pendent." Koenma froze mid stamp
"Are they certain?"
"Well sir, they said they have proof so I believe they are."
"Where is this so called proof?" Koenma said getting impatient.
"Oh, it's right here sir!" George said as he held the red folder out to Koenma with a big grin on his face.
Koenma snatched the folder from him an started shuffling through the pictures. He was just about to yell at George about bringing him false information, when he reached the last picture.
"...George, tell Botan to get Yusuke and the others in here as soon as possible."
"Yes sir, right away sir."
Koenma was at a lost for words, all he could do was sit and stare at the picture.
30 minutes later...
"Koenma sir, I got them here as fast as I could." Botan said as she flew through the large doors on her oar.
"This better be important binky breath, I was in the middle of beatin kuwabara's ass."
"What! Urameshi you-"
"Right now is not the time you two."Kurama cut in, as he and Hiei walked past Yusuke and Kuwabara. "We were rushed here for a reason, and I'd like to find that out so we can get on with our day."
"Whoa, Kurama's even in a bad mood, the world really must be about to end." Yusuke said with a smirk.
Kurama turned to glare at Yusuke from his spot on the wall while Hiei stood near the one of the corners of the room.
"He's angry because the reaper approached him in front of his human mother." Hiei said shooting a sideways glance in Kurama's direction.
"Ok, now that we're all here I'd like to get down to business. I called you all here because there is a major threat in human world that I want you guys to take care of." Koenma opened one of his desk drawers and pulled out a remote, then pressed a blue button under his desk. Behind him a screen slid down from the ceiling. He began pressing buttons on the remote, and the picture of a female with shoulder length black hair and sunglasses sitting on a bench in the park . "This is who we're looking for, she possess a very powerful pendent." He then zoomed in on the ruby necklace she had around her neck "You are to bring both her and the pendant back here, but please exercise caution."
"You brought all of us here over a demon girl with a necklace!? Come on, I could have taken care of her myself! I don't-"
"Yusuke, if I believed you could handle this on your own I wouldn't have called Hiei and Kurama."
"Hey! What about me?" Kuwabara said looking intently at Koenma. "You called me too."
"That is true, but you would have came even if I didn't call for you." Koenma said looking over at Kuwabara. "Now," Koenma said turning around to face the spirit detectives "any questions?"
Kurama put up a finger to show he was about to begin speaking. "How long has she been in human world?"
"We don't know. We believe she used some sort of seal or barrier to keep her demonic energy from being detected."
Kurama's eyes narrowed slightly "She would have to be a very powerful being to create a barrier or have seals that are undetectable. How do you suggest we find her?"
"The scout that found her couldn't find where she lived but he said that she visits the park close to the cemetery everyday around noon. Anymore questions?"
"If she proves to be a problem, are we allowed to use force?"
"Yes, if she doesn't comply you are allowed to use force. But I want her alive with all her limbs Hiei, is that understood?"
"Hn."
"I'll take that as a yes. You all are to meet and devise a strategy to bring both the girl and the pendant here within 2 days starting tomorrow. School shouldn't be an issue since summer break stared 3 days ago. so there is nothing stopping you from completing this mission. If there are no more questions you all may go. I'll have a portal to human world ready for you all out side my office."
They left the office and waited for the portal in silence. In a matter of seconds a portal appeared, they went through it and landed in an alley. "We"ll meet at my apartment at ten, we should be able to come up with something within an hour. After that, we head to the park and wait for her to show up." Kurama said "Agreed?"
"Yeah, the sooner we get this over with the sooner we can get on with our lives." Yusuke said shoving his hands in his pockets.
They all shared a look before they all headed off in different directions. Though none of them noticed the small red bird on the lid of the dumpster.

Kaytari had just taken a bath and was planning on meditating a little before bed. She went to open the window and saw the same bird from this morning looking right at her. Slowly she opened the window and pulled the curtains back, and the bird flew in and perched right on her desk. "What do you want, I hope you don't expect me to feed you. I don't have any worms, sorry." She said as she looked at it. "I really need to make some friends, I'm talking to a bird" Kaytari said sitting in the floor and shaking her head. The minute she closed her eyes and started to focus, she could hear the bird chirping. Then the chirping stopped, then she heard it.
"Kaytari, can you hear me? Kaytari focus on my voice, can you understand me now?"
Her eyes snapped open. "What the hell is that?" She looked to the bird and it was looking at her. "Was that you?" She said to the bird
"Yes, I see you can understand me now. It must be time."
"What do you mean, time for what?" Kaytari thought she was losing it. This bird was really talking to her as she was really talking back to it.
The bird hopped off of the desk and onto the floor right in front of her."It's time for you to find out who your mother really was."
"What do you mean? Who was she?"
"She was the goddess of fire."
