Chapter One

The Mission

 

It was a busy day today and the Raikai was no exception. An assortment of Oni were busier than bees, running around with paperwork, answering phones, and becoming somewhat of an obstacle for a lone figure that stalked through the aisles. His destination being at the other end of the large room that served as office space for the Oni, to their boss' and his former boss' own office.

He didn't want to be here, but koenma, his former boss, was the only one with the resources to help him. Otherwise he wouldn't have gone thought he trouble to get here.

A reasonably high-class demon had slipped passed the defenses to a portal and got into Ningenkai. He was held responsible. Because, before the demon slipped out of Makai and into the human world, he had slipped passed Hiei. He and some troops under his command had been sent by Mukuro to destroy the said demon and his followers. The demon and his underlings had been threatening to overthrow Mukuro; and supposedly they had allies on the inside. So Mukuro had sent Hiei with a few of her solders to deal with the problem before it got out of hand.

Because of this, now Hiei was walking through the automatic doors that lead to the godling's main office. To his disappointment no one was in the room. Not that he missed the annoying toddler, but he had been hoping to ask for some assistance on finding the rogue demon. He sat down to wait in a chair smaller and opposite to the big cushy one that Koenma usually sat in.

He wondered if the small prince had grown any since the last time he had seen him. Now that he thought about it he hadn't seen any of his former teammates in, he calculated in his head, it was almost three years now. His sentence for patrolling the Makai borders had been cut short. Mukuro had needed him in his role as her general sooner than the sentence ended, so it was canceled.

As he continued to think about the team he had to correct himself, he had seen two of his ex-teammates: one, about two years ago and the other just last year. The first was the former spirit detective, Yuske he had surprised him with a visit out of no where; showing up at Mukuro's just to see how he was doing. That and he had said he had needed to get away from those bald demon advisors of his. Then at the beginning of last year Kurama had come to Mukuro's territory, he had finally left his mothers house and was on vacation from high school. He had figured it had been a long time since they had seen each other and was curious as to weather his dear friend was still alive and kicking. A sparing match between the two friends answered that quickly.

Hiei had been so absorbed into his thoughts that he didn't notice that someone had entered the office. So when he heard Koenma call his name he was a tad startled.

“Hiei!” the young prince called out again getting the demon's full attention. Hiei just sat there looking at him.

“Hiei, why are you here? What do you want?” Koenma said trying to hide the fear from his voice and wishing George wasn't on vacation. Hiei stood up and said nothing, but smirked as a squeak came from Koenma because of his sudden movement. Then he handed him a letter from Mukuro explaining why he was there and what he needed. The toddler sighed in relief as he finished reading. He had tried to sound annoyed but failed.

“Alright Hiei,” he said a bit more composed, “go to Ningenkai and get Botan, by the time you two get back I should have found something on your demon and where he might be. Oh, and make sure to take your time.”

“Why do I have to retrieve the onna?” Hiei asked displeased, he had wanted to show up, perhaps wait a bit for the information, and go.

“First you need a guide; I doubt you know your way around Ningenkai as well as Makai. Second I Can't let you, an ex-criminal roam free around Ningenkai not knowing where to go. Third, I don't want to get in trouble with my father for not following the rules, ever since I backed up Yuske against his wished, he's gotten stricter.” Koenma explained scratching his head nervously.

Hiei growled, obviously peeved, but he needed the information and to be able to look around Ningenkai without any trouble from Raikai. So he let out a heavy sigh and asked where Botan was most likely to be found.

“Probably still at Genkai's. They were on their to the beach on her land when I left.” He was about to mention that the whole team was there, but Hiei had already left.

“Take your time!” He shouted out hoping that the demon heard him.

It didn't take long for Hiei to arrive at the temple. When he got there though he could sense not only Botan but also everyone else that had been part of the team in the direction of what he presumed was the beach. Everyone was there but the former leader of the team, Yuske, and Genkai but he had already sensed her back at the temple.

When he got there, he had taken his time; he could see that his presumptions were right. It was the beach and Yuske was nowhere in sight. He could see everyone from where he was, Botan and his sister Yukina among them. He couldn't help but feel a twinge in his chest when Yukina asked Kaiko,

“Do you think I'll ever be with my brother?” He doubted the human girl's response,

“I think you will when he's ready. Now have fun. That's the one thing about sunsets. They make you think too much.”

He had to fission up into the tree he had been standing next to or the oaf's sister would have found him out. Not long after Yuske showed up and from everyone's reaction, Hiei realized that they must not have seen him since before or after the Makai tournament. Knowing it would take a while before the reunion ended; he made himself comfortable for a nap. But he didn't get far as something was thrown at him. He could see it, a rock? He couldn't avoid it without getting out of the tree. He leaped down, landing soundlessly on the ground.

“Hiei! Quit being such of an unsocial bastard and get our ass over here!” It was Yuske, he couldn't have guessed.

“Hiei?” Everyone seemed to whisper in union. With hiding no longer an option, the said demon came out of the shadows. He couldn't help but sigh in defeat, but coming out of hiding had been worth all of the shocked faces. Surprisingly Kuwabara was the first to approach him, looking dead serious even though he was soaked to the bone from the water fight he had earlier.

“What baka?” Hiei grunted.

Then out of nowhere Kuwabara grabbed him and gave him a skull crushing nuggy.

“Ha! Gotcha! You have no idea how long I've waited to do this! Welcome back shorty!” He yelled happily, before Hiei managed to pry him off. His already gravity defying hair was a mess, it looked like he stuck his finger into an electric socket. The glare he was sending the group for laughing/snickering at him was blocked as Yukina stood in front of him, her hands above his head. She had fixed his hair as best she could and was now giving him a hug saying,

“Welcome back Hiei.” Fake sniffles and `awe's filled the silent afterward. Hiei could see Yuske, Kurama, and Botan pretending to wipe away tears. He glared over Yukina's shoulder, sending unsaid death threats. Kuwabara seemed uneasy, probably jealous. When she finally let go he pat her head with the slightest hint of a smile, he didn't know what else he could have done. After that Yuske popped his head between them and had a wild grin on his face.

“Hay, Hiei I know you just showed up and all but none of us brought matches or a lighter, Shizuro's doesn't work any more, I know surprised me too. So would you do us the honor of lighting the bonfire? When we get it set up and if you agree.” Hiei was about to just up and refuse, but then saw the pleading eyes of Yukina, and found himself slightly shocked as he sighed and nodded.

“Alright! Way to go Yukina! Kuwabara bet I can get more firewood than you!” With that Yuske was running up a slope and into the forest. Hiei looked at Yukina, who tilted her head slightly to the side and gave him the most innocent smile he had ever seen. It was overkill and proved she was guilty.

“Hay! No Fare Urameshi! You got a head start!” Now both of them were gone, Hiei thanked the gods.

While they waited for Yuske and Kuwabara to get back, the girls chatted to themselves and Hiei hadn't noticed that during his conversation with Kurama he had been eyeing Botan to make sure she didn't just up and go, like she was known to do. Kurama, the fox that he is, asked if he was interested in her as a mate. Hiei almost fell off of the bolder he and Kurama were sitting on, then glared at his friend as if he were crazy. After a short and awkward silence, Hiei began to explain what had happened back in Makai and why he was here. Kurama listened, interested, then when Hiei finished offered his help.

“No Kurama, I am responsible and I'd like to handle it myself.” Hiei assured as two figures came out of the surrounding shrubs and onto view; Yuske was the obvious champion, his pile being five times bigger than that of Kuwabara's. They compared to be sure.

“Ha! That means you have to set it up. I'm going to spend time with my girlfriend.” At first Kaiko seemed shocked at the not so Yuske's works, then corrected him, making him fall in shock,

“Not Girlfriend, Yuske! Fiancé!” The rest of the girls laughed at this and Hiei turned to Kurama for an explanation. The fox gladly gave it.

“Baka.” He grunted, once Kurama finished.

Soon Kuwabara had finished setting up the bonfire wood and yelled to Yukina bragging. With him still so preoccupied Hiei got an idea, a mischievous smirk played across his lips, and he looked to Yuske who could see what he was thinking, nodded. They both had the same idea. Hiei turned back to Kuwabara who was between him and the pile of wood then he lifted his right hand and yelled to Kuwabara to get his attention.

“Wha…!?” Was all the poor human could manage as Hiei supposedly called upon the dragon of hell.

“Dragon!” Kuwabara squeaked.

“Of! The!” Kuwabara held his breath.

“Darkness!” Kuwabara shook his head vigorously.

“Flame!” Kuwabara made a hodgepodge of faces, all priceless, as Hiei shouted those words. The only thing Hiei had done was use the hottest fire in Ningenkai, which kind of looked like his dragon because it was a dark blue, that and he could control the shape. A newfound ability he had practiced during his stay in Makai. Kuwabara didn't know though and squealed while ducking for cover, looking a lot like an ostrige what with his head in the sand. Yuske was laughing his head off, Kaiko whapped him in the head. She and the other girls had been worried that Hiei had gone bad or something and became relived when they heard it was just a prank.

“What! Don't hit me! Hiei's the one who did it!” Yuske said realizing Kaiko's strength must have grown twice as much as she had.

“Yeah! Yuske, but you let him!” Another whap, for good measure. Hiei really didn't care what the girl thought, payback for the nuggy before had been good enough of a reason for him, and this was from a guy who doesn't hold grudges.

Surprisingly, when Kuwabara got back up, he didn't so much as whine. Instead he just sat there awestruck by the great fire before him, sand allover him but mostly stuck to his face. In the mood to have some more fun, and already tiered of just staring at the plain fire, Hiei decided he could make this more entertaining, hopefully saving himself and Yuske from hearing anymore complaints from Kaiko's direction.

So with some concentration he separated a good amount of flames from the illegal bonfire, and then shaped it with his mind, as if it were some sort of clay and not a livid fire. The first that came out was everyone's favorite ex-spirit detective. It's size at around the height of about his knee.

“Awesome, Hiei!” Yuske said truly excited as the mini him did his signature move sending a mini fireball in Kuwabara's direction. The human yelped as it singed his jacket.

Then another figure came out of the bonfire, it was Kaiko, who reprimanded the flame-Yuske by knocking him across the head. Then the two flames returned to the bonfire, and out came Kuwabara and his sister, Shizuro chewing out Kuwabara with a cigarette in her mouth. The woman laughed as her flame-self chased Kuwabara's back into the main fire. Next was Botan and Kurama, Kurama's was transforming into Yoko then into a fox that leaped into Botan's arms. Then with him she summoned her ore and flew into the fire. Noticeably last was Yukina's small fire version, it was also suspiciously bigger and more detailed. The girls squealed in excitement at how cute it was with the imitation birds he had made along with her when she emerged from the bonfire.

“Awe! Yukina you're so cute!” Botan announced turning to the real Yukina sitting next to her, and another round of squeals followed. Yukina had become embarrassed from all of the attention and the fact that that was how Hiei saw her from his eyes.

Hiei didn't know why but he was actually happy right now, perhaps it was because he felt safe surrounded by people he trusted and trusted him. Maybe it was because he was having fun, without causing terror, or that his sister was happy with him there. He actually debated on telling her the truth, but stopped as he realized something. Just as a smile had started to form on his face, and he wasn't going to hide it anymore, it was jerked away. He cursed his demon blood for ruining his good time. His concentration was yanked from the fire outside to the one within.

With every ones attention on Yukina they didn't notice that the flame that had resembled her had gone out. They however did notice when a started voice called out Hiei's name, it was Kurama. Hiei had collapsed his grimacing features rigid in the firelight. With a sudden groan from him, the bonfire went out, and everything suddenly felt cold and dreary, Hiei was losing control.
