Chapter 1: Questions and Introductions

::Dream::

‘I’ll see you tonight pup. Be good for your mom.’ Father said as he left for work. He never came back...

‘Mom? Where’s daddy?’ Raine asked.

‘Daddy left us Raine. He’s never coming back.’ Mother sobbed.

::Flash::

‘Are we going to see cousin Yu-chan today mommy?’ Raine asked excitedly.

‘Hai, pup –‘ she never finished that sentence before the car was demolished by a drunk driver.

::Flash::

‘Raine? Hello I’m Mr. Takashi, this is my wife Mrs. Takashi, and this is my daughter Niko. We will be your new family when you’re better.’ A man said to her when she was recovering in the hospital. ‘Everything will be OK now.’ He smiled warmly at me and his daughter waved excitedly from behind him.

::Flash::

‘Yu-chan! Stay with Aunt Atsuko! Write to me!!’ Raine cried as the car pulled away form her home for the last time.

::Flash::

‘NIKO!! Run get help! I can handle – AHHHHH!’ Raine screamed as a male figure towered over her with a bloody knife as she tried to protect the only person she has left.

::End Dream::
Raine sat up bolt straight in her bed panting and covered in a cold sweat. She looked around for a minute not remembering where she was, then she remembered and wished she hadn’t. Her and Niko were being kept in the hospital for another night for testing to make sure that they were well enough to travel around the world to Japan. ‘Back home.’ she thought. She looked over to the bed next to hers to see Niko was sleeping soundly. Even though Niko was a year and a half older Raine felt deeply protective of her. Niko is a full blooded neko youkai, while Raine was only an ookami hanyou. Even with their demon blood both were still had wounds that weren’t completely healed but would only get worse is they really strained their bodies. But then the doctors didn’t know that in a about a day the wounds would look like they never existed.

Tomorrow Niko and Raine were to travel to Japan to live with Raine’s cousin Yusuke. Raine couldn’t wait to see him after nearly ten years of not seeing or hearing from him. She missed him dearly. When they were little he was her only friend. When she moved to America she felt utterly alone, but Niko turned out to be so much like Yusuke that she took to her immediately and looked to her like a real sister and not just a foster sister.

Raine took another look at her best friend/sister and then lay down to try at some more sleep. Although that seemed rather impossible in her eyes. She rarely slept anymore. Too many ways to let down your guard. Yeah, Raine has become a little paranoid, but who can blame her. She lay back down, they had a long trip ahead of them tomorrow.

“Hey guys! Glad you could make it!” Yusuke greeted as he opened the door to reveal the rest of the gang. Hiei, Kurama, Kuwabara, Keiko, and Shizuru, “Yukina, Botan, and Koenma just arrived, come on in.”

“You seem overly happy. Did Botan’s hyper personality rub off on you or something?” Kuwabara asked.

“Raine’s coming back! I haven’t seen her in ten years! What more reason do I need to be happy?” Yusuke exclaimed.

“Why did she leave in the first place? What has happened in the last ten years for her to suddenly move back?” Keiko asked innocently.

Yusuke’s mood shifted so suddenly it was frightening. His eyes darkened, he clenched his fists as sudden rage took over his body. Keiko couldn’t feel it but the others tensed as they felt Yusuke’s sprite energy rise. It took all his will power not to use it as he punched the wall trying to relieve his anger. He did create a nice fist sized hole though. Everyone has varying degrees of surprise on their faces, Hiei’s was of course blank.

When Yusuke was back in control of his emotions he spoke in a tight clipped voice full of anger, “She left because her mom, my aunt, died in a car accident and mom wasn’t able to take her in. She was put in a foster home and they moved to America. I kept in touch with her for about a year but then they moved and I never heard from her again. Until a few months ago when she called me. She was really freaked and I could barely understand what she was saying. It took me nearly and hour to calm her down enough to get her to tell me what was going on. About two years after she moved from here her foster mom left them and her foster father lost his job. He began drinking and he beat his daughter Niko and when Raine stepped in to stop him he started to hit her too.” Yusuke couldn’t help himself and made another fist sized hole in the wall. “This last time he sent them both to the hospital barely alive. Niko is a full demon and Raine half, to hurt them that badly... he deserves to be in jail.” Yusuke finished.

“I’m sorry I asked. I didn’t think it would be like that.” Keiko said sadly, guiltily.

“No, I was going to tell you anyway. I didn’t want Raine to have to face any awkward questions. Don’t worry about it.” Yusuke replied to try and sooth Keiko’s worries.

“She should be here soon. You should do something about those holes you made Yusuke.” Botan stated coming over to the group.

Yusuke stared at her blankly then looked at the wall and smiles sheepishly. ::sweatdrop::

“Sorry guess I got a little carried away there!” Yusuke said going over to a hall closet and pulling out a bucket of plaster and proceeded to fix the holes.

“You’ve done this before haven’t you?” Kurama said over his shoulder.

“Yeah, when she first called me and told me what was happening. That time I just barely kept myself from destroying the whole wall.” Yusuke replied.

“Can she fight?” Hiei asked, out of nowhere, from his usual spot on the window sill.

The question was directed at Yusuke but Koenma was the one to answer, “After Yusuke became a Spirit Detective, we kept track of her in America. She turned out to be a real punk just like her cousin. We can’t determine what her class would be but she can hold her own.”

“WHAT!? YOU’VE BEEN KEEPING TABS ON HER ALL THIS TIME AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME WHAT WAS HAPPENING?!” Yusuke shouted.

“Use your head Yusuke. Would it have been practical to tell you what was happening to her and have you go to jail for murder or leave you in the dark and save the world. Which is the better choice. Anyway, I was going to tell you after the Dark Tournament and take her out of the home. She beat me to it.” Koenma finished.

Yusuke was ready for a second round when the phone rang, “WHAT!?” He screamed into the phone.

“Ooo someone got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning! Hey Yusuke, it’s me Raine.” The girl on the other line said.

“Oh sorry Raine. Whats up?” Yusuke said lowering his voice.

“We just got off the plane and Niko and I are going to go find somewhere to eat after we get our bags. Then we’re gonna catch a cab to your place, kay?” Raine relayed the plan to her cousin.

“Sure, that’s cool. When do you think you’ll be getting here?”

“‘Bout and hour I’d say.”

“Ok see you then.”

“Bye!”

Yusuke hung up the phone and relayed the message to the rest of the group.

“So.... what do we do til they get here?” Kuwabara asked.

“I have cards. We could play a few games until they get here.” Keiko offered.

“Sure.” They all agreed.

Everyone but Hiei (of course) sat in the living room to play cards and wait for Raine’s arrival.

*#*#*

Raine flipped her phone closed and turned to Niko, “So where do you want to eat?”

“I have no idea but I’m in the mood for Ramen.” Niko said, salivating only a little.

“Me too.” Raine agreed.

The girls shouldered their bags and left the airport. Niko is about 5'6" with knee length midnight blue hair, vibrant green eyes, and milky skin. She wore an all black leather fighting ensemble. Her top had off the shoulder sleeves and came to a ‘V’ above her skin tight, low slung, leather flares. She also wore black combat boots. Raine was the exact opposite. Raine is about 4'5" with waist length blood red hair, striking yellow/orange eyes, and tan skin. She wore a baggy dark purple, knee length, long sleeved skirt, belted at the waist over black baggy cotton pants tucked into soft black leather boots. Raine was thin as a rail but had a nice figure (of course you can’t see it under the baggy clothes, but it was there), Niko was thin and curvy but not as thin as Raine.

The girls got curious glances from people on the street when they saw how they dressed and amused stares from the boys that were obviously fighters. Thankfully none of them confronted the girls as they made their way to a small restaurant on the corner. They sat down and ordered some Ramen. While they ate Niko asked about the people they were going to be meeting.

“What’s Yusuke like?” She asked.

“Loud, never thinks before he does things and always voices what’s on his mind. Although I haven’t really talked to him in ten years. He might have changed.” Raine explained.

“What about the rest of them? Are they my age?” Niko asked.

Raine rolled her eyes before answering, “Well Yusuke and Kuwabara are but the others I have no idea. Hiei, Kurama and Yukina are demons so they could be as old as dirt and look 18. I can’t wait ‘til I’m seventeen, then it will be like I’m only a year younger.” Raine pouted.

“Oh come on! Your only a year and a half younger and in the same grade. We might even have the same classes. Ok so tell me about everyone!” Niko demanded.

“Fine! Ok so we’re meeting Yusuke, his best friend and his sister Kuwabara and Shizuru, Kuwabara’s girlfriend Yukina, Yusuke’s girlfriend Keiko, Kurama whom Yusuke tells me is a reincarnated kitsune youkai, Hiei whom is ½ kaji youki, ½ koori youkai and Botan and Koenma whom I know nothing about. Yusuke said they would introduce themselves when we get there.” Raine finished.

“Oh! We better get going its almost been an hour.” Niko said checking her watch.

The girls paid for their food and left the restaurant. They grabbed a taxi and left for Yusuke’s house.

*#*#*

‘Fools... where are these girls? It’s been an hour and I could be doing something better with my time then waiting for the detective’s cousin...’ Hiei thought as he watched the group play cards when the door bell rang.

Yusuke vaulted over the couch and ran to the door flinging it open and wrapping her in a huge bear hug.

“Hi Yusuke! It’s great to see you too but I can’t breathe!” Raine said with laughter in her voice.

“Heh, sorry, got carried away there.” Yusuke said.

“This is my sister and best friend Niko.” Raine said introducing the girl next the her.

“Hi!” She said brightly.

“Nice to meet you! Come inside I want to introduce you to my friends.” He said leading them through the house.

When they reached the living room, Hiei greeted Raine the way he greets everyone, sword drawn. Raine was able to dodge his first attack and drew the daggers that she hid in her sleeves and met Hiei strike for strike until finally she caught his sword and he her daggers. They stood there for a few seconds looking at each other, then both sheathed their weapons.

“Once again your people skills amaze me, Hiei.” Kurama said from the couch.

“Raine meet Hiei, Hiei meet Raine.” Yusuke introduced as Hiei went back to his customary place on the window sill. Yusuke then introduced the girls to everyone else in the room except Koenma and Botan. Once he was done Koenma stood with Botan and introduced himself to the girls.

“Greetings, I am Lord Koenma, Ruler of Spirit World and this is my assistant Botan, Navigator of the River Styx.” Koenma said.

“Hello!” Botan greeted in her normal overly cheerful voice.

“Are you aware that Yusuke is the Spirit Detective of earth?” he asked.

“We had heard rumors but nothing with any important information.” Niko answered.

“I am hear to tell you that my father, Lord Enma, wants you two to become spirit detectives and join the team. So what do you say?” Koenma announced.

This got many different looks from those assembled in the room. Yusuke and Kuwabara had matching looks of defiance but for different reasons. Yusuke was being overprotective but Kuwabara didn’t think a girl could take care of themselves. Kurama was surprised but didn’t object to it and Hiei of course was stone faced.

When everyone settled down to see what the girls thought of this they saw that they were staring at each other seeming to have a conversation with each other. Their faces were totally devoid of emotion.

“You’ve already talked to us about this before. In a dream right after... the incident.” Raine answered anger showing in her yellow/orange orbs.

“Yes and its still your choice to make. So will you join?” Koenma asked.

“Hai.” The girls said in unison without hesitation.
