Chapter 1: Blade the Assassin

Yoko_Kitsune: This is my first fic so be nice.

Hiei: Yoko Kitsune doesn't own Yu Yu Hakusho.

YK: But I wish I owned you Hiei! *glomps Hiei*

"Are you even listening to me!?" Koenma yelled at the assassin standing in a shadowy corner of his office. It wasn't dark enough for her to hide, so the Jr. Lord of the Dead could easily see her staring at the ceiling, apparently ignoring him.

"I hear you." The female assassin said in a bored tone, still staring at the ceiling.

"Grrr," a vain appeared in Koenma's temple as he continued, "As I was saying, I want you to keep a careful watch on Hiei. His power has been fluxuating a lot recently, and I'm worried that he might hurt someone or himself if it gets out of control. Don't let him know your tailing him that would just anger him further. You're the best assassin suited for this job out of all three worlds. Keep an eye on him until I say otherwise."

"Fine, as long as I get paid." The female assassin mumbled as she pushed herself off of the wall. She was a Ryu, and a beautiful one at that. Her midnight black scales glistening shades of deep blue in the light of Koenma's office. She always wore a black leather trench coat that had slits in the back for her large and powerful wings, which she kept folded to her back most of the time. The trench coat was always buttoned-up so that only her head, three whitish-silver horns (Two long, thin ones that curved slightly inwards on the sides and a small one on her forehead), waist length, navy blue hair, vicious silver eyes, elfish ears, the tip of her long muscular tail, and steel war talons with a retractable blade on the underside of each one. Those deadly weapons are what gave her the codename Shadow Blade.

"You may leave." Koenma dismissed her. Blade disappeared in a column of black flame.

`I hope this works' Koenma thought to himself a little worriedly as he returned to his paperwork.

Shadow Blade had found Hiei easily enough by breaking through his energy barrier and tracking his ki to a clearing near a type of dojo/temple. (YK: Guess which one.) Hiei was training with three other males, while a short, older female with faded pink hair barked orders and watched. Blade carefully masked her ki before sitting on a high but sturdy tree branch on the north side of the clearing. She leaned against the trunk and through a small hole in the foliage, watched them spar.

She decided that she should memorize their appearances and moves in case she came into conflict with them. The first she memorized was Hiei. (Kit: Of course! *gets hit over the head by Blade* Owie!) She took in his appearance. Slight of stature, shorter than herself, but well muscled. His hair reminded her of her scales, the way it had deep blue tips, and she found the white starburst fascinating. The white bandanna around his forehead drew her attention.

`Wonder what's under there…' She thought to herself. Down in the training area Hiei stopped sparing with Yuske and looked around with his almond shaped ruby colored eyes as if he had heard something. After a second of looking around he returned to sparring.

She noted that he wore all black and that he used a katana as his weapon and that his speed came close to hers. Then she moved on to the raven-haired human teen he was sparring with.

His hair was slicked back and had a greenish tinge to it. His eyes resembled a chocolate color. He was currently wearing a white training top and green training pants. His speed was above average for a human, but that was expected from one of Koenma's Reikai Tantei. He appeared to have no weapons other than his fists and feet. She saw great potential in this ones spirit energy. He was about as tall as her, maybe a couple inches shorter. The old woman kept calling him "baka."

Then Blade's eyes fell on the taller human. He was taller than her and had carrot colored hair.

`Ugh.' Blade thought, `I hate carrots.'

His face was even uglier than the old woman's! His beady eyes made it even worse! He was wearing some sort of blue outfit and wielding a sword made of a yellowish-orange ki. He was very clumsy, even for a human. His movements were jerky and not fluent at all. His voice was harsh to the ears when he gave horse battle cries as he charged at his sparing partner, constantly missing him.(YK: Sorry Kuwabara fans! *crickets chirp* Kuwa fans? Hm. Nobody's here…)

Next she turned her attention to the most graceful of the four. He had gorgeous long red hair that looked as soft as fox fur. (YK: How observant of you Blade. *gets hit again* OW! OK! I won't do it again!) He wore a white Chinese style outfit. He seemed to be equal to Hiei in agility and used a long, green, thorny whip as his weapon. There was something about him that was definitely not human. Was it his shining emerald eyes? No there was something more to this boy…

Thunder roared suddenly nearby snapping Blade out of her trance.

"Ok everyone! We'll wait out the storm at my place and continue training once it clears up." The older woman shouted in a voice worn with age, yet still retaining a sharp edge. All of the boys stopped sparing and headed towards the dojo along with the old woman.

"I think I'll need more information on the Reikai Tantei if I am to continue my mission, and since they'll be waiting out the rain in that temple, I'll go see what Silver's got on them. Koenma will not notice if I take a quick stroll in Gandara." With that the lovely Ryu opened a portal to the Makai and jumped through to go and see an old friend of hers.
