Everyday Life?

Chapter Three: Their First Mission

-Three Months Later-

`They're late!' Judy screeched for the umpteenth time in the past five minutes. `Robin's never late!'

Koenma had contacted the two of them last night, calling for them to meet up in a park about five miles away from Judy's apartment. He had said he already told Robin and Hiei, and that they would be there too. The rendezvous was set for 10:00 that morning.

It was now 10:05.

`Oh relax, will you?' Kurama said, putting down the book he had been reading, `They'll be here soon.'

In the past three months, Kurama had learned quite a bit about this…quirky ningen. For one she loved to sing...even if she could not. She had woken him up many times at night trying to sing. Her music was always loud. She loved to read almost as much as he did. Her love of chocolate rivaled his own. Judy was also so very unlike him when it came to clothing. She would love to wear jeans and any shirt that was not dirty. Then make fun of him on how long he took in the bathroom.

It also seemed that Judy had learned quite a bit about him, since he found himself being more and more annoyed by her everyday. She always seemed to know just the right way to annoy him no matter what mood he was in. But by the same token, she also knew how to cheer him up when he was lonely.

Kurama had to admit that he was getting a little nervous as it neared 10:10. He missed his koi and still had his bad habit of worrying over him. He knew they had to cross a dangerous area of the Makai to get there…

What if they had been attacked!?

What if he was hurt!!?

What if-

Two black blurs cut off his next `What if.'

`You baka!' Robin scolded Hiei when they came to a stop in front of them. `I told you that we should have turned to the left! But no! You just had to take your "shortcut!"'

`Well if you're so smart why did you let me take that shortcut?!' Hiei retorted.

`Because you ran off that way before I could talk some sense into your rock of a head!'

`Hn.'

`Hi guys! I see you two are getting along well!' Judy said, breaking into the argument.

`Oh, hi Judy-chan!' Robin said, remembering what they were there for and walking over to her friend.

Judy grabbed her friend in a hug, `I missed you! It sucks how Koenma won't let us live close by anymore!'

Robin returned the hug, `I missed you too, but man it was nice being in the Makai again!'

Judy released her and then looked over at the two demons. She giggled.

`What?' Robin asked. Her friend was known to laugh for little or no reason, but this was definitely one of those giggles with a cause.

Judy simply giggled again and pointed a finger towards where Kurama had been standing when she and Hiei had arrived. She turned in that direction and then suppressed a laugh of her own.

The taller demon had swept Hiei off his feet and was crushing him in a bear hug. Hiei was trying to squirm free but Kurama effectively stopped that with a kiss.

`Okay lover boys!' Robin interrupted them a few minutes later, getting tired of watching them make out. ` Time to go!'

The two separated. Kurama looked a little sheepish and Hiei cursed under his breath. Judy could just make out the words, `Baka kitsune,' as he muttered to himself.

`Just where the hell are we going anyway?' Hiei asked, turning towards Kurama once more, `He didn't tell us.'

`Yes he did,' Robin said, `We're going to destroy a breach site in the Kekkai made by some A-classes.' She shook her head, `No wonder there have been so many demons lurking around.'

`No kidding,' Judy said, `The Kekkai around America isn't very strong, and a breach in it just makes it worse.'

`So…we're going where now?' Hiei asked again.

Robin hit her head, `You really weren't paying attention, were you?' She sighs, `Well, what should I expect, you never do…'

`That's not true! I pay attention in battle, and when there's sweet snow!'

`Big deal!'

`Why you!'

`Okay you two! Calm down!' Kurama said, raising a hand towards both of them. `Save it for the enemy!'

`Hn!' the two of them said in unison, then Robin took out a map and pointed out where it was they were going as well as the best routes to get there. They then moved to discussions on strategy and battle methods to use in the coming fight.

Judy sighed, `Now why can't we get along that well?' She smiled as they argued for a minute on the best way to fight. `They're so similar!'

Kurama smiled, `They're really very alike aren't they?' He grinned, `Nothing like us, my dear!'

Judy frowned, `Oh pooh! You're so mean!' She stuck her tongue out at him and walked over to join the discussion between the two demons.

`Then it's agreed?' Kurama heard his koi say as he pointed out a path on the map. `We'll take this path?'

`Hai, it shouldn't take more than half a day to get there.'

After a few more minutes of preparation and discussion, Judy opened a portal to the Makai and the group set out on their first mission.

-Four Days Later-

`Hiei will you just stop for directions!!?' Robin pleaded as Hiei peered around the area from the top of a tree. `I told you we should just stick to the path- but NO! You just had to take a short cut!!'

`I'll find the way, I'm sure we just have to go…that way!' Hiei said sheepishly, still in denial that he had gotten lost- again. He jumped down from the tree and looked at his peeved lover and the ningen that was now enjoying teasing him. Hiei heard a plea in his mind from Kurama- Hiei; just let Robin direct, okay? I'm getting tired of being asked what each and every plant is!!

Very well, koi, Hiei sighed, If I must…

`You lead then!' Hiei said, attempting to scrape up at least some of his dignity. He shoved the map into her hands with a `Hn.'

`About time!!' Robin said before studying the map and setting off.

-Two hours later-

`I told you I would find it,' Robin gloated as Hiei brooded near his lover. She smirked and looked at the thin walls of the fortress. `Well at least this will be easy. Ready guys?'

Her companions nodded and she signaled to Hiei. She called a black flame into her palms, `On the count of three.' Hiei nodded and summoned a matching flame into his hands. `One…two…three!'

The two released their bursts of flame and the fortress practically exploded, sending demons scrambling from the inside, right into their hands.

All four then went to work. Judy and Robin and Hiei and Kurama. Judy was great when it came to her Spirit bow and arrows. Her aim was always close to where she wanted it. Ok so she missed at times, but she knew what she was doing.

Judy got down to a crouch and started to aim arrows at the quickly approaching demons, while Robin alternated between firing fire blasts and ice shards at them. It was funny when an ice dart hit a male demon in the crotch and he yelped like a girl. It was happening so often in this fight, though, Judy had a sneaking suspicion that her chuckling partner was doing it on purpose- either that or it was a distraction to allow her partner more accurate aim…

Whichever one it really was, it did help Judy hit a few right in the hearts, causing purple and blue blood to flow. The rest of the two or three dozen she hit, she did under her own devices. If he had been watching, even Hiei would have had to admit they made a formidable team.

Kurama used his whip to attack the offending demons. Hiei, being his usual self, simply sliced them to bloody pieces. Both of them kept a sharp eye on the other as they did. They worked so well as a team. It was almost like a dance, they were so in time. Kurama and Hiei finished off their group at the same time the girls did.

Then, as Hiei and Kurama were distracted going on about how they were shocked that Judy could hit anything, a huge, S-class ogre snuck up from behind them, leaving them defenseless against its mighty onslaught.

The girls' honed senses kicked in, Judy and Robin took aim at the same time, one firing an arrow and the other an icy blast. The two attacks combined, forming a deadly ice dagger. Needless to say, when it struck him, it hurt. Hiei and Kurama jumped out of the way as the demon collapsed into a pool of its own blood. Both men were so impressed they were speechless.

Judy ran around hugging every one once it became apparent that no more demons were around, and started to sing Love is a Battlefield.

`That took long enough,' Kurama said, looking on as Robin accessed the damage done to the Kekkai. `How bad is it?'

`Not bad, I can probably fix it,' she thought for a moment, `but I'm not going to strain myself for the infant.' She shrugged at Kurama's raised eyebrow, `I'm not *that* nice.'

Judy laughed and pulled a communication mirror out of her pocket, `I'll call Koenma and let him know we're done.'

The Ruler of Reikai came up and Judy smirked. `Hey we got YOUR work done!! Are you lucky or what?'

With that, Kurama took over and explained everything. Robin was to repair the damage, then they were to head straight back to Ningenkai.

`Nanda kuso?!' Robin snatched the mirror from Kurama's hands. `I have to do YOUR job, AND I don't even get to VISIT my territory!!!!?' Needless to say, this led to an argument that ended with Koenma simply hanging up on Robin.

Kurama was happy when Judy took advantage of this distraction and slipped him some money. She winked at him, `I'll cover for you two. Just don't have too much fun, okay?'

Kurama nodded and the two lovers ran off to the Ningenkai, leaving Judy to deal with a seething Robin, who grudgingly fixed the Kekkai before they returned to the Ningenkai.

That evening was the first time in three months that the demon lovers had been together. Obviously, they made the night count, tiring each other out until neither was able to move.

Not to forget our girls...Judy and the now-calmed-down Robin were drinking some tea, and playing a quite game of Life.
