Well, this is my second story. It will center around Kagome and Hiei. Constructive criticism is welcomed, so on with the story.

Disclaimer: I don't own YuYu Hakusho or Inuyasha.

A young man sat behind a large oak desk reading a massive yellow file. Written in bold black letters was the name Kagome Higurashi. Chewing on pacifier he frowned reading the contents of the file. "Where is she?" he muttered to himself. "Jorge!" The young man yelled. A tall blue ogre with a single horn protruding from his forehead ran into the room almost tripping on the stacks of papers laying about everywhere.

"Yes, my lord." The ogre declared. "Send Botan to me at once", the boy ordered without looking up from his reading. "At once my lord" Jorge replied leaving his prince to his mumbling.

Botan stood in front of Koenma's desk waiting for him to acknowledge her. He was very engrossed in the file he was reading. "Excuse me Lord Koenma, you sent for me?"

"Ah, Botan, Yes, I need you to go get Yusuke, Kurama and Hiei. I have a very important mission that needs their special attention."

"Yes sir, right away." With that she opened a portal and disappeared.

Kagome sighed as she shot another holy arrow at the lower demons attacking in hordes. To her left Sesshomaru watched with an almost board expression on his face. "You will finish this Miko." Kagome just rolled her eyes, as she concentrated she pulled her power into herself, compacting it into the smallest point in her center, holding out her left hand she pushed the massive power out of her body and into the lower demons. "Was that adequate enough for you, Demon." Kagome quipped with a smile. Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at the impudent human girl and walked away. Kagome looked out into the Red sky of the Demon world and sighed. Something was coming, she could just feel it. I wonder if I will ever be normal again she thought. Probable not.

Botan appeared in front of Tokyo University searching for Yusuke, Spotting him sleeping under a large in the center of campus, why he even bothered with going to college was beyond her, probable Keyko's doing. "Hello Yusuke" chirped Botan. Yusuke cracked open an eye and glanced at the blue haired girl. "Koenma would like to see you, Kurama and Hiei right away." "What for?" Yusuke asked. "I'm busy."

"Sorry Yusuke but Koenma said this was important" and with that Yusuke disappeared into the ground.

Yusuke, Kurama and Hiei stood around Koenma's office waiting for their leader to tell them why they had been summed. "Koenma seems unusually quiet" Kurama thought to Hiei. "HN." "Must be important to call us after so much time has passed."

"Well," Yusuke hollered, "What so important?"

Koenma looked up at the three spirit detectives, his face very grim. "The Barriers are falling, and there's nothing we can do to stop it I'm afraid."

"What do you mean Koenma?" Kurama asked. "How can the barriers fail?"

The young prince sighed, "To understand what is necessary you need to know the history of the barrier and how they came into being. It is a very long story, so this may take a while."

"Just get on with it." Yusuke exclaimed. This is serious, what could cause the barriers to fail. I thought they were forever He thought to himself.

"Around five hundred years ago a young human miko appeared out of nowhere, with her the mystical Jewel of Four Souls. It seemed that she was the reincarnation of the former village priestess that was killed fifty years before. Some how the jewel was shattered causing any demon who possessed even a single shard to increase their power immeasurably."

"I have heard of this Jewel, but I always thought it was a legend." Kurama stated. "What does any of this have to do with the barrier?" Yusuke demanded. "I'm getting there." Koenma huffed. "Well get there faster!" Sighing he continued.

"This young miko allied her self with a half-demon, a cursed monk, a slayer and a demon fox kit. Together they traveled around feudal Japan collecting the fragments of the jewel. At the same time a human thief who had allowed his body to be consumed by a horde of lesser demons thus creating an evil half demon was also collecting the shards of the jewel. It was said that the Jewel could grant a wish to who ever possessed it. The evil half demon called Nuraku wanted the Jewel to become an all powerful demon. Now a pure wish would cause the Jewel to fade away forever elimination the danger the Jewel posed to the world. A selfish wish would cause the Jewel to be corrupted, giving the carrier unlimited power. After three years each side had about equal amounts of the Jewel, they met for the final battle. It was a long and bloody battle, the Miko's group had accumulated a few allies, but Nuraku seemed to have an endless amount of lesser demons to through at them. After three day and nights four were left standing, Nuraku, the miko, her half demon protector and his full demon brother. The half demon was soon struck down by Nuraku, the Miko who was very found of the half demon drew all of her remaining and called Nuraku's half of the Jewel to her cleansing it of the corruption and completing it. Our files become vague at this point, But from what we gather the Miko made a pure and selfless wish. Thus the barriers were created separating the human and demon world."

The Spirit Detectives were all silent each wondering the same thing. "Well what was the wish?" Yusuke demanded.

"I don't know, no one does except the Miko." Koenma smirked "I guess you can ask her when you find her."

"How are we going to find a human who lived five hundred years ago?" Hiei asked.

"It seems that the miko was a time traveler, born here in modern Tokyo twenty years ago. This is a picture of her taken two years ago." The picture showed a young dark hair girl in a red and white priestess outfit. She was smiling a sad smile one that spoke of great loss and eyes of wisdom beyond her years. Her ebony hair hung down to her min-back, she seemed to stand out from those around her, solitary and alone. "Her name is Kagome Higurashi; she lives at the Sunset Shrine in Tokyo. The only other place we believe her to be is with the Demon King Sesshomaru, we can not confirm either location though."

Why would a miko be with the demon king? Hiei thought narrowing his eyes; some thing is off about this fox. Koenma has given us a lot of information but certainty no answers, I wonder if Yusuke has figured this out? HN, I doubt it.

"Why not?" Yusuke wanted to know, "I thought you could track down anyone."

"I just can't ok. Yusuke you will go to the shrine and find out if she's there. Hiei and Kurama will go to the Demon King and look there, if you find her bring her back here. Do not tell her why."

"If she is with Sesshomaru how are we to convince him to let her come here?" Kurama wondered. "Dog demons are entirely too possessive for him to just let her go because we said so."

"Fine you may tell the Demon King if there is no other way, but try to keep the Miko from finding out. The last thing I need is a hysterical girl on my hands."

And so it begins….what will the Detectives discover when they find Kagome, and why is she with Sesshomaru? Find out next time!
