Hikaru and Kurama were walking in a forest. Hikaru was starting to wonder what he was up to. On the way to where ever they were going, Kurama told Hikaru about spirit world and King Enma, along with Koenma. She was also told again to never say a word of this to anyone other than himself and the people he was about to introduce her to. It wasn`t like this was the first time she had to keep secrets from her mother. One time she even asked why he always tells her that. He just said that it would only cause their mother grieve. Hikaru then asked if Kurama would ever tell mother, but he all he said was `If the time comes` and left it at that.
"We`re here." Kurama snapped Hikaru out of her thoughts
"Huh? Oh right." She said
They came up to a large area in the middle of the forest where three people waited. They were Botan, Kwabara, and finally Yusuke Urameshi.
"Hey! Kurama what took so long? We`re been waiting forever." Said Yusuke with a grin
"seriously what- Who`s the kid? Did she follow you here?" asked Kwabara wondering why a little girl was with Kurama.
"She`s so cute. Hello there sweetie. What`s your name?" Botan said bubbly
Hikaru being shy stood behind Kurama covering her face and blushing. `This woman is weird` is the first remark Hikaru was thinking of.
"W-what`s wrong? Did I scare her?" Botan asked being sad that the little girl didn`t answer her.
"No. She is just shy to new people." Kurama explained
"Wait. Is that …?" Yusuke though for a minute then remembered. "Oh right. She`s your little sister, right? Hikaru."
"That`s right." Kurama said
"WHAT?" Kwabara and Botan both shouted at the same time.
"Since when did you have a little sister? I thought you were an only child?" Kwabara yelled
"So, is she a demon, too?" asked Botan. She never heard of this in the spirit world records.
"Actually she is a half-demon. Say hi, Hikaru." Kurama said
Hikaru came out from behind her brother half way."Hi"
"Well, it`s a pleasure to meet you Hikaru. My name is Botan, the grim reaper at your service."Botan introduced herself.
"My name`s Kazuma Kwabara. You can call me Kwabara." Kwabara said
"Nice you to meet you." Hikaru said quietly
Just then, Hiei came from out from the trees. Hikaru remembered Hiei. He came when her mother was sick. She never really trusted him because it seem like a bad person to her point of view. Kurama once told her that she would probably never she Hiei again. Well, even Kurama could be wrong sometimes.
"Glad you could make it Hiei." Yusuke said
"Hn. Well, what was so important that I had to come?" Said Hiei. He noticed Hikaru behind Kurama staring at him.
"Well, even the little girl came out." Hiei said to himself
"Right. Well, Koenma wanted everyone to be on the lookout for a demon that`s been disusing himself as a human. So keep your eye open."Botan told each of them. All of them nodded expect Hiei and Hikaru.
`So, Ms. Botan and Mr. Koenma give them missions to fight demons. 'Though Hikaru
After explaining to everyone, Botan left to report to Koenma that she told Yusuke and the others everything, leaving the boys and Hikaru to themselves. To Yusuke and Kwabara, it was the perfect time to ask why Kurama would begin his little sister with him to a mission briefing.
"She wanted to know what we do and knowing her she would have followed me anyway so, I just took her with me." Kurama explained
"So she knows about spirit world and demons?" Yusuke asked
Kurama nodded. "Do you remember Yusuke, Hikaru?"
"Yes. He`s the spirit detective." Recalled Hikaru "Kurama, why is he here?" Hikaru pointed at Hiei
"What? Do you have a problem with me?" Hiei asked with a bit of annoyance in his voice.
"No not really. You're just … just…" Hikaru couldn`t quite finish her sentence
"Just what?" Hiei pushed on slightly angry
"Just scary!" Hikaru busted out with her cheeks a little red. Yusuke and Kwabara laughed while Kurama just chuckled. Hiei stood there with a mad look on his face. Hikaru was embarrassed by her outburst.
"Now that you had your laugh for today, I`ll take me leave from here."Hiei then vanished and was out of sight. With that everyone left to lookout for the demon they were to catch. On the way back Hikaru and Kurama stopped by the store because Hikaru was in the mood for some candy. Which meant her sweet tooth was telling her it`s time for something sweet.
"Remember: Don`t take a lot." Said Kurama
"I know. I think I want some lollipops and ice cream." Hikaru said with a huge smile
"That`s a shame because I`m only get one. Pick one"
"Um, then… the lollipops. They last longer." Hikaru gave Kurama the candy so he could pay for it. She had to have the biggest sweet tooth on earth. If she went one day without even a little candy, she would go crazy. Kurama sometimes wonder if there was anything in the candy that made it so addicting to her. He paid for the candy and they both went home. Shiori must have went out or she was probably still at work. Kurama was starting to feel hungry since he didn`t eat dinner and didn`t have much for breakfast either.
"Kurama. Are you going to go look for that demon? I mean, it doesn`t seem like your worried about it." Hikaru said while licking a lollipop.
"Well, it`s not as if I am not thinking about it, There are just other things to worry about now. Even Yusuke is most likely thinking the same thing. "
`I wonder what he is thinking about.' Hikaru looked down at the floor thinking. Suddenly Kurama`s stomach started to growl loudly. He blushed a bit and Hikaru just giggled at him.
"I think my stomach said it`s time to eat."He said while holding his middle. Hikaru agreed and they both ate lunch together. During their lunch he told Hikaru more about the missions him and his friends have been on.
