HEHEHE... It's me again... Yeah, so here we go!!

The Spirit Detectives approached Koenma's office slowly, as if to buy time.

“I REALLY don't want be here...” Yusuke trailed off grumbling.

“Detective, quit your whining, I've had enough...” Hiei snapped, but trailed off into grumbled threats of dismemberment.

Yusuke rolled his eyes as the red, blue and green ogres rushed around the room. “Shheeze, it's like a God damned stock market in here...”

They finally reached the door, but stopped when they heard an angry female voice arguing with the familiar, nasally voice of the prince of the Underworld.

“I refuse to be part of your group of goons, Koenma!! You can let your father execute me for all I care!”

“Shay, work with me!! Work for a couple years and you'll be pardoned!! I know you won't like it, but that doesn't mean you should surrender your life to my father!! He doesn't like painless endings; you will receive no mercy from him!”

“I don't care!! Life's worth nothing if I don't have my freedom!! I hated being a fucking caged animal, but I'll hate being a leashed one more!!”

“Shay, listen. You'll work for a few years as an assassin. THEN you will be free. I promise yo-”

“Like your word means anything!!” The voice quieted down and an audible sigh was heard, “But... I'll do it...”

“Thank you, Shay glad to see you're be reasonable... Detectives, you may come in now.”

Yusuke pushed open the door and the four of them stepped in and saw a small, fragile looking woman sitting in a chair next to Koenma. She wore simple black prison garb and large shackles on her wrists and ankles. On the left arm of the uniform, there was a talisman and from what could be seen under the handcuff on her right wrist, there was a black wrist brace. She had dirty blonde hair and heated greenish-brown eyes. She had three piercings in each earlobe and a large barbell going through two holes in the cartilage (the top part of the ear) of her left ear.

“Well, gentlemen, meet your new teammate,” Koenma motioned for the demoness to stand, “Shay Porter.”

Kurama arched an eyebrow but swooped into a polite bow, “Hello, Miss, My name is Suuichi Minamino, but most call me Kurama.”

Kuwabara struck a pose and added, “The great Kazuma Kuwabara at your service, fair damsel.” Shay sweated in skepticism.

“Yusuke Urameshi, Punk.” Then he added, jabbed his thumb in Hiei's direction, “And he's Hiei.”

“Hn...” Hiei regarded her with feigned indifference, and sized her up. He knew better than to underestimate her, She must of done something bad to land in solitary confinement...

“Please, Miss, if you'd be so kind, your uniform is that of solitary confinement, no?”

“Yeah, so?” Her voice was fairly high but, rather than being smooth and velvety, it had a rough quality, as if she hadn't used it recently.

“I was just curious as to how you land yourself there?”

“Kill a couple thousand...” She answered brashly, “Start a couple fights until the guards had enough of me... Why?”

“Just wondering...” Kurama answered darkly, he had been in solitary confinement once and he didn't consider a place for women. In solitary confinement, you never saw the light of day or other prisoners. The only people you saw were the guards who came in at regular intervals to try to `break your spirit' and the interrogator who `interrogated' you weekly. By the looks of it, she knew that all to well, every time she moved she winced and once the guard next to her removed her shackles, he could see that she had a badly broken ankle and sprained wrist.

“Well, Detectives,” Koenma paused to choose his words, “Once Shay is healed you will get your next mission. Goodbye.”

I know it's short but it'll do for now!
