The mission

Ch.1

~Spirit World~

"Koenma sir, Hiei is here."

"Good, send him in"

A short demon with black spiky hair and a white bandana around his forehead stepped in. He crossed his arms and leaned against a wall, waiting for his `boss' to assign him a job.

Koenma, the child-like ruler, was hidden behind stacks and stacks of papers. He looked up from his stamping and looked at Hiei. Grabbing a remote, a t.v. came down from the ceiling. "The Shikon no Tama." A picture of a pink jewel appeared. "I'm sure you know the legend of it?"

Hiei just nodded.

"As you know, legend said it was burned within the body of a priestess, kikyo after she died from getting attacked by a hanyou, and was never seen again. Well, over a year ago, there was a strange energy coming from a shrine. I had trackers go to get more info on the place." The prince of reikai (sp?) sighed and massaged his head. "Well, apparently, there is a young girl, Kagome Higurashi-" A picture of a smiling teenager in a green-sailor outfit appears. "- is the the reincarnation of Kikyo. She also has in possession of the jewel." He took a deep breath and continued. "With the shikon jewel, she was able to go through an old well at the shrine, and go back 500 years ago into the past. And things get worse, the shikon jewel is broken."

Hiei's eyes widened a little bit. "Who broke it." He commanded in a cool voice.

"The reincarnation herself had. I've had Botan bring her in once. So I've decided to send you to go help her and her friends collect the shikon jewel."

"Why not send Yusuke or the baka? Or even kurama?" Hiei said with a frown on his face.

"Because Yusuke and Kuwabara are still injured from their last mission, and won't heal in time. Kurama's mother is getting surgery done, and he can't afford to miss it. That just leaves you for the job."

After thinking about the advantages of going to the past (lots of demons to kill, koenma can't keep an eye on him, the baka couldn't annoy him… and so on), he agreed.

Focusing back on the paperwork in front of him, Koenma dismissed Hiei with a wave of a hand. "You can leave now. Botan will open a portal to the shrine."

As if on cue, the bubbly Lady Death appeared, oar in hand. "Let's go Hiei!" and with that, they both disappeared into a blue portal.

~At the Higurashi Shrine~

"I told you inuyasha! The prince of the spirit world said he was going to send one of his detectives to help us on our mission!" Kagome said, arms thrown up in expiration.

"We don't need any help!" Inuyasha said with his nose in the air.

Kagome's eye twitched. "Nor you or I have any say in it! So just behave! Or I'll use the `s' word!"

With his ears flattened against his head, inuyasha turned around and stayed silent.

Suddenly a portal opened up, and out popped Hiei and Botan.

Spotting her friend, she ran over and gave botan a hug. "How are you?" She asked.

"Well, work's been busy, so a little stressful! Which reminds me, back to business, this is Hiei. He'll be helping you complete the jewel!"

Hiei just glared at them.

Kagome, intending on ignoring that glare, held her hand out. "Nice to meet you! I'm Kagome Higurashi!"

As his response, he just jumped into the Goshiboku. Inuyasha on the other hand was suspiciously watching his every move.

Seeing kagome frown Botan added, "He's not the most talkative person you'll meet, but he's a good fighter!" she said with a grin on her face.

Kagome smiled slightly,"thanks, but I've gotten used to behavior like that," she said with a pointed stare at a certain inu hanyou.

"Well got to get back to work! I'll see you later!" and with that, the ferry girl was gone.

Turning back to the tree she frowned. "Ok, uh... um… Hiei, do you have a shard of the shikon jewel?"

Jumping out of the tree, and in front of her, he held up a shard.

"Hey where'd you get that!" Inuyasha yelled, teeth bared.

"Sit."

Hiei watched the hanyou fall to the ground with an amused smirk.

"Why you stupid wen-"

"SIT!"

Poor ground, so many inuyasha sized holes… tsk tsk tsk.

"So where's the well?" Hiei asked, getting straight to the point.

Facing Hiei she smiled, "oh, this way!"

Her yellow bag was already waiting for her inside.

Sitting at the rim she looked over at her companions. "Everyone ready to go?"

"Hn."

"Feh."

Taking that as a yes, she jumped inside the well, Hiei and Inuyasha followed behind.

She looked up and saw blue sky. Feudal Japan.

A head poked over the well. "Kagome?" a childish voice asked.

"Yeah Shippo, I'm down here. Can you tell Sango and Miroku I've brought a new friend?"

Shippo's green eye's sparkled. "Ok!" he said excitedly and ran off.

Using the vine, Kagome hauled her and her big backpack up the well.

As soon as she got out of the well, there were two flashes, and out came inuyasha and hiei.

Inuyasha was glaring down at hiei, Hiei glaring back.

"Let's go to the village at meet the others!" kagome said while reaching over to pick up her backpack.

Seeing her struggle, Inuyasha casually walked over and picked it up for her. And with a `keh' he walked towards the village.

A small smile appeared on her face. `Tsk, why couldn't he be more polite more often?' she mused to herself.

Turning around to Hiei, she attempted to start a conversation. "So what weapon do you use?"

He stared at his katana around his waste.

Kagome sweatdropped. `Ok, stupid question.' "What kind of demon are you?" she asked innocently. "I sense your fire.. and ice youkai. Are you both?"

In a flash Hiei had his katana and Kagome's neck. Her eye's widened in surprise. `EEP! Touchy subject…'

Sheathing his katana, kagome collected herself. "I'm sorry if that was to personal." Biting her lip, she tried again, this time with more caution. "Do you have any siblings?"

Silence filled the air.

She frowned. `Wow… botan wasn't kidding about him not being very talkative.'

Soon after, they came to the village.

The villagers kept a wary eye on the new guest, but left them alone none the less.

When they finally came to Kaede's hut, the whole inu gumi was waiting for the arrival of their new teammate.
