"Neko? That's an odd name..." Yusuke said while walking out of Koenma's office.
"Yes, well Koenma did say we are dealing with a very odd girl." Kurama said while looking through Neko's file. "Hmmm... That's odd..."
"What's odd?" Kuwabara still drooling at the picture of Neko.
"Look here, normally in a person's file in spirit world, they have every last bit of info on the person, but in this girls file there is only her name and some crimes she committed. They didn't even put if she is a demon or a human. This makes this whole mission more difficult..." Kurama said rather confused.
"The girl is most likely a demon." Hiei said finally saying something in the conversation.
"Why do you say that? She could be a human! There are plenty of humans that kill demons! Look at Yusuke and me!" Kuwabara said trying to make a point.
"Baka. That may be true, but tell me something. How many humans have claws, pointy ears, and a long furry black tail?" Hiei said to the idiot. (You might have guessed it by now but I'm not exactly a Kuwa fan...)
"Huh? What are you- Oh. She really is a demon! .... Oh well, she's still hott..." Kuwa said while going back to drooling at the picture of the girl.
“Idiot.” Hiei mumbled.
"Well I don't know about you guys but I'm going home to get some sleep. Koenma has this habit of appearing out of no where at the worst times. See ya guys." Yusuke said while mentally thinking of how he's going to explain his leaving to Keiko.
"All right. We will all meet at my house tomorrow then.” Kurama said while stepping threw the portal to human world.

"Are we there yet?" Said a very tired Jencine.
"Yes as a matter of fact we are! I mean look at all the huts around you!" Neko said sarcastically while pointing at several trees around them.
"You don't have to get all mad about it. Meanie..." Jencine said teary eyed.
"Hn. Ask me a stupid question and I will give you a stupid answer." Neko said. "Now stop complaining. The village is right up the hill, see?" Neko said pointing to the village.
"Finally! We have been walking for over a full day! Do you think they have pudding there? I'm hungry..." Jencine said more to herself then to Neko.
"May-" Neko was cut short as she sensed a several people heading in their direction. 'Maybe its just some demons passing by. Wait. There are two humans with the demons. This is not a good sign.'
"Kitty? What's the matter you look worried?" Jencine said now worried for her best friend.
"I sense some people heading in our exact direction." Neko told her best friend.
"So. I could just be some rand-"
"That's what I thought" Neko said cutting Jencine before she finished her sentence. "But two of them are humans and how many times have you ever seen humans and demons together without there being trouble?"
"What are we going to do? What can we do?"
"You're going to come with us." Said a tired voice behind the girls. They could tell whoever it is didn't get much sleep.
"And if I refuse?" Neko said trying to see the voice hiding in the shadows.
"Then where going to have to take you by force." Said a deeper voice that was now pulling out his katana.
"Who are you people?" Said a very nerves fox demon hiding behind her best friend.
"We are the spirit detectives!" Said a raspier voice that would remind people of what a chalkboard being scratched sounds like.
"And we have orders to take you away. Just please come with us. We would rather not have to fight." Said the final voice and also the first to step out of the shadows. "I'm Kurama."
"The names Yusuke and the idiot over there is Kuwabara."
"Hey!!!" Said a now angry Kuwabara.
The final person who stepped out didn't give his name all he said was, "I must be working with the biggest fools in all three worlds. We are here to detain that girl over here and it looks more like your having a tea party..." Growled a very annoyed Hiei.
`That's odd. He looks vaguely familiar. I think we have met before.' Neko thought to herself.
“We are just being polite is all, Hiei.” Kurama said in his regular calm voice.
"But I guess Hiei does have a point. We suppose to be capturing the girl not making conversation!" Said Yusuke.
"Ahem! I'm still standing here and can hear everything you are saying about me, you know.” Neko said looking at the four boys as if they were crazy. "Well, sorry to disappoint you boys but I guess your just going to have to take me by force!" Neko said while taking a fighting stance.
"Big mistake." Hiei said taking a fighting stance with his katana.
'This might be interesting.' Hiei thought to himself.
"All right. But wait. I really don't want to kill anyone, so I will make a bet with you." Neko said with an unreadable expression on her face.
-Neko, what are you thinking?- Jencine said telepathically in her friends mind.
-You will see.- Neko responded.
"What kind of bet?" Hiei asked Neko.
"The first person to draw blood. If you cut me first then I will go with you quietly. But if I cut you first, then you let me go."
"Hn. Deal."
"Hiei what the hell are you thinking!" Yusuke yelled at Hiei. "You can't make that kind of deal! What if you lose?!"
"You should have more faith in you friend." Neko said smiling at Yusuke, which surprised everyone, especially Hiei.
"That's enough!" Hiei said while charging at his opponent.
'This is going to be too easy' Hiei thought to himself arrogantly while attempting to slash the girl's right arm. But out of nowhere a giant sword with strange designs on it blocked his attack.
"Where the hell did that thing come from!" Yusuke said astonished.
"It seems this girl has summoning abilities." Kurama said to himself.
"Go Neko! Kick him where it hurts!" Jencine yelled while all the guys crossed their legs at the thought of that.
The fight seemed to have dragged on for hours. Whenever Hiei attacked Neko blocked, and when Neko attacked Hiei blocked.
Then all of a sudden Neko seemed to just freeze and her eyes began to glow. Hiei noticing this decided to take the opportunity to attack. He succeeded and living a small cut on her left arm.
But Neko just seemed frozen in her spot. Then all of a sudden she fell unconscious to the ground with so much force it left a small crater in the ground.
"Neko!!" Yelled Jencine as she rushed to her friend's side.
"Hiei did you do something?" Kurama asked Hiei.
"No." Hiei said simply, but truthfully.
"We might as well take her back to spirit world so we can see what's wrong with her." Yusuke said approaching the unconscious girl but was blocked by Jencine.
"I'm coming with you. I still don't trust you people so I am coming no matter what you say!" Jencine said slightly scared.
Kurama noticing her fear just smiled at her. "All right. You can come with us. Don't worry we wont harm you or her."
All Jencine did was blush as she got lost somehow in Kurama's emerald eyes. All she could do was nod.
"In case nobody noticed, that girl is still on the floor unconscious and needs medical treatment." Hiei said covering up his worry. 'Why am I worrying about her? Its not like I know her... I think...'
"That's right! Let's go!" Kuwabara said as he attempted to pick the girl, but Jencine beat him to her.
"Like I said. I don't trust you." Jencine said glaring at Kuwabara.
"Well, all you had to do was say was that you didn't want me to carry her..." Kuwa said starting to get nervous under the girls gaze.
"Well. Let's go." Hiei said walking back to the portal to Spirit World.
