Kitaia enjoyed her shower, taking her sweet time to get clean. When she emerged, she threw on a black tank top and some special tail-friendly jeans Koenma provided for strode back into Koenma's office where the group was waiting.
Koenma cleared his throat, "Kitaia, these are Satoshi, Youko, Taisho, and Hiei." Kitaia surveyed them. Satoshi had brownish red hair, brown eyes, and a normal looking face. Taisho had shaggy black hair, green eyes, and Yusuke's face. Hiei had spiked black hair, crimson eyes, and a perpetual scowl. Kitaia smiled at Youko, "Long time, no see. Eh, cousin?"
Youko laughed softly, pushing his silver hair out of his face, "Indeed, Ki. It's been around a hundred years." Hiei scowled at them, his arms crossed. Koenma coughed loudly, getting everyone's attention, "I have your first mission, kids. A simple one, really. Go to Makai and extract an agent that has been captured. A demon group called Sho-Bu has him in their fortress. He was undercover when he was discovered."
"I have packed each of you a survival pack, including communicators and energy-shielding rings. Bring my agent back alive." With that, he opened the portal to Makai. Ki strode to its entrance, clicking her heels together and saluting Koenma, "Adios, muthafuckas!" She jumped in laughing. Youko went next, followed by the two humans and Hiei bringing up the rear.
Ki emerged into the night air, savoring the breeze on her face. The others noisily congregated behind her, and she strode further away. Silently stretching, she froze, sensing Youko approaching her. "Nani, cousin?" She turned to look at Youko, who lounged behind her, "Humans chatter too much." He chuckled softly, his silver gaze warm, "I'm glad you escaped the war, cousin."
She smiled humorlessly, pulling her shirt up to reveal her scarred back, "Not intact cousin. Physically or mentally." Ki pulled her shirt back down, scowling, "I was a slave for twenty years." Youko squeezed her shoulder briefly, "But you survived." Weakly, she tried to smile, "After those vipers wiped out my village, they took me captive. After I escaped, I became a thief to survive."
Youko gave her a tender smile, "You're a survivor, Ki. Nothing can keep you down." With that, they walked back to the others, minus Hiei who detested social situations. Taisho waved cockily, "Ey! Foxgirl!" Kitaia's ears flattened against her head, "It's Ki, you hairless ape!" Satoshi began to laugh and she swung her gaze to him, "I wouldn't laugh. You're a Kuwabara. They're closer to apes then Urameshis are." Satoshi fell silent, and Ki walked on.
She paused beneath a tree, curling up underneath it to sleep. Putting her jacket under her head, she lay back against it, getting comfortable. A black streak flew by, Hiei running off to find his own spot. Youko made camp with the humans, murmuring to Ki, "Goodnight, cousin." She sighed a bit, "Goodnight, Youko-san."
Hiei perched in the tree branches, high above the kitsune female, glaring down at her sleeping form. She was rude and he disliked her immensely. "Why the ferocious scowl, old friend?" Hiei turned to see Youko leaning into the tree trunk behind him. "Hn. None of your business, fox." With that he was gone, leaving Youko chuckling.
