Chapter 2: Of Kitsunes and Reiki Tentai

"The new sprit detective for Earth is named Yusuke Urameshi."

"Yu-Yusuke?" Sakura suddenly felt dizzy. "H-Hiei, I know Yusuke. I've known him for a few years now… He's my ningen form's best friend's boyfriend…"(A/N: Well that's a mouthful…)

"Keiko?" Hiei asked, hoping she would say no.

His hopes were in vain. "Hai, Keiko… Oh Hiei! What's going to happen when he finds out?!" Sakura was on the edge of tears. Hiei had only seen her cry once and that was the first time he ever had to leave her. He had one of the Hiroseki stones she had cried.

"Shh Sakura, calm down. I'm the only in all of Reiki who knows who and where you are." Hiei put and arm around the girl.

"There's another person who knows who I am, Genkai the psychic. She is Yusuke's sensei, I know that but I didn't realize he was the new reiki tentai…"

"How did Genkai find out?"

"She could sense it in me. She pulled me aside one day when I dropped Yusuke off at her temple. Genkai gave me her word that she would not report me to the Reiki authorities, so I haven't been too worried." Sakura couldn't look at him, she was too afraid of what his eyes would tell her.

/Hiei./ A familiar voice filled Hiei's head, and Sakura's as well. She didn't mean to listen, she couldn't help it. It was hard to control her powers when she was upset, or when she was pissed for that matter.

/Hn./

/Koenma wishes to speak with us. He has a new mission./ Kurama's words rang through not only Hiei's but Sakura's ears as well.

/I'll be there shortly, kitsune./ Hiei closed the mental link they used and then looked to Sakura.

"Hiei, I heard. I know that voice…"

"You do?" Hiei was a little confused. How could she recognize Kurama's voice?

"Ya, its Shuichi's voice. I go to school with him. He's about 5' 10", rose red hair, emerald green ey-"

"Eyes. His full name is Minamino Shuichi?" Sakura nodded. "That's Kurama's ningen form."

Now Sakura knew she was going to pass out. The guy she had a crush on was the ningen form of the most notorious tozoku in all of the Reiki and the Makai, the silver kitsune Yoko Kurama!

"Hi…ei" With a loud `thud', Sakura hit the floor.

"Sakura?" Hiei picked her up and shook her, trying to wake her up.

/Hiei, we need you here. Now./

/I told you, I'd be their kitsune. Now leave me be./

/Ne, Hiei. I'm not leaving you alone until you leave wherever you're at./

"Wake up Sakura. I need to go." Hiei shook her lightly.

/I know you can hear me. Why is it that you refuse to leave yet?/

/Mind your own business, kitsune./

"Un… Hiei? What happened?" Sakura held her head, shaking it lightly.

Who is that? She sounds familiar… The Yoko within Kurama spoke lightly.

Stay out of this Yoko… Kurama warned.

"You passed out Sakura. You figured out who you-know-who really is. The shock caused you to pass out."

My, my. You're very talkative with this one Hiei. Yoko was taunting him to get his attention.

/Hn, baka kitsune… I'm coming Kurama./

/Fine, but hurry. Koenma is getting angry./ Kurama closed the mental link between the two of them.

"I heard the entire conversation. Don't worry about me, Hiei. I'll be here when you get back." Sakura pulled herself back onto the couch.

"Oyasumi Sakura."

"Oyasumi Hiei."

"What is you want from me?" Hiei spat angrily at Koenma as he walked through the Prince of Sprit World's office doors.

Kurama, Kuwabara, and Yusuke whipped around to see Hiei walk through the door.

"About time, half-pint!" Kuwabara yelled.

"Ya, what took ya Hiei?" Yusuke intervened before Hiei could throw a comeback, or a punch, at Kuwabara.

"I had matters to attend to." Hiei snapped in return, glaring at Kuwabara and mentally promising him a slow, painful death.

Hai, matters with a certain female friend of yours? Yoko asked in an implying tone.

/Hn. Not the kind you're thinking of Yoko…/

Yoko, keep your hentai thoughts to yourself for once. Onegai? Kurama thought with a sigh.

"I have a new mission for the four of you." Koenma cleared his throat to bring the attention back to him. "There's a notorious apparition on the lose in the ningen realm. She is -"

"She? This apparition is an onna?" Kuwabara asked nervously.

"Hai, she is. Now, may I continue?" They all nodded. "She's a half-breed: one-half Kitsune, one-half Koormie. She also has a natural Jagan. The onna is one of the greatest tozoku's-" Yoko growled at this comment. "-in the Makai but little is known about her. All I know is my father tricked her into taking a ningen form and she was forced to remain that way for 15 years. She should be about 16 now. Find her and bring her to me."

"You have no description of her?" Kurama asked, hoping for a little more to go on besides that she's an apparition in a 16-year-old ningen's body.

"Hai, I know little of what she looks like in her ningen form, but I can give you an accurate description of her Yoko form."

"Yoko form?!" Yusuke, Kuwabara and Kurama exclaimed.

"Hai, Yoko form. She stands at 5'8", long Sakura blossom pink hair, and bright ice blue eyes. Her hair and eyes earned their color from the cross between the silver kitsune and Koormie blood in her. She has two tails and Kitsune ears that match her hair and a necklace around her neck with a Hiroseki stone on it. It's said the stone is from a Koormie she was close to before she left the Makai. Though, we're still not sure how she got so close to a Koormie in the first place." Koenma looked down at his paperwork and sighed.

"Anything else you want to tell us? I'd like to be prepared when I start a mission for once…" Yusuke grumbled.

"Hai. She is extremely powerful, be careful of her roses. She can make them into anything from bombs to -"

"A whip." Hiei stated, catching everyone off guard.

"Right, Hiei. That's her trademark move, the Rosewhip." Koenma looked right into Kurama's eyes as he spoke. "She is of a high class of youkai and apparitions. Beware, she is also a seductress."

Hiei snorted at this. "Why should we worry about that? Yoko would be that only one to worry about and he can handle himself."

Hiei, is that a challenge? Yoko scoffed.

/Hn. Baka kitsune…/

"Any more questions?" Koenma asked, looking as if he was about to dismiss them.

"You said you knew a little of her ningen form." Kurama said, attempting to keep himself, and Yoko, focused.

"Oh, right! We've had some of our parolees track her. It seems she was able to keep her ki intact while ningen, as you did Kurama. The youkai tracking her have been able to spot her a few times, but nothing much. Um… lets see…" Koenma shuffled through all the papers on his desk. "Here it is! It says she's 5' 6" or 7", long pink hair that stops in the middle of her back, bright amber eyes. From reports, her name is Harusame Sakura."

Kurama and Hiei both looked as if their hearts had stopped. What had Koenma just said? Harusame Sakura?

Kuwabara noticed the looks on the two ex-thief's faces. "Hey guys, what wrong with you?"

"N-nothing." Both muttered.

Kami, I was afraid of this. They know her ningen name, and they want me to help arrest her! Hiei's mind was in a state of panic. How was he going to protect her if he was one of the people after her?

Kurama was no better off. Harusame… Sakura, she's the onna I…The onna I've…

The onna you've fallen for, Little One. Yoko finished for him, his voice laced with the smug look that was surely gracing his face.
