Chap 1
Yusuke looked across the desk staring at the small god sitting on the other side. Kuwabara sat on his right looking more serious and attentive then the others had seen him. Kurama and Hiei stood on his left leaning against the wall of the large office; Hiei with his normal belligerent attitude and Kurama his soft spoken, but deadly, style.
Yusuke was the first to speak, annoyed at being called here on such short notice, "So Koenma , what do you want, and what's he here for?" he said gesturing at Kuwabara sitting next to him.
Hiei, never one to let an opening go by, smirked, "Yes, what is the weakling doing here? I thought we determined he was useless but for target practice." He looked slightly perturbed and surprised when Kuwabara didn't reply with his normal rejoinder; somewhere along the way he had started to enjoy them.
Kurama and Yusuke both shot surprised both shot the red head surprised looks as well, not used to him not biting on any bait thrown at him. They turned their attention back to Koenma when he began speaking with a serious tone of voice as he pulled a file from a drawer. "This is no laughing matter Yusuke, this will be an extremely hard case, and one that must be solved as soon as possible. This youkai escaped from our highest security level."
Pulling a sheaf of pictures from inside the folder, Koenma distributed them to the four individuals on the other side; they were so engrossed in the picture that none noticed the stiffening of Kuwabara's spine or the silent communication between the god and the human.
Yusuke looked at the shot appraisingly, the youkai was about the size of a very large human with good sized muscles and forest green skin. His hair was long and ebony falling down to the middle of his back and over a pair of extremely pointed ears.
His eyes were completely black and the void seemed to just suck everything in. There were razor sharp claws on each hand that were apparently retractable. It didn't seem like an especially hard youkai to catch.
"So what did this guy do , go out and steal a new mirror?" Yusuke smirked as he looked at the picture.
"His name is Kunen, but he is better known as Destructor Inocente, the name he goes by in the demon world." Kowenma shot an appraising look at the two leaning against the wall as they stiffened upon hearing the name.
"Yeah? So? What the hell did he do, and why do I have to go find him?"
Hiei was the one to speak in response, "You idiot, Destructor Inocente is infamous in the demon world, one of the most evil souls I have ever encountered. He would infatuate himself with a child, his main targets were young boys just starting to hit puberty. He would follow them, learn about them, basically know every detail of their lives. Then he would kill their entire family and leave it for them to find in some kind of twisted parody of a gift. He would wait and when they found the torn bodies..."
"He would take them away, alternately comforting and training them at the same time. He twisted them for his entertainment, making them kill, or enjoying their bodies in his bed. Usually there were several boys under his "care" at one time; however for a long time he only had one, a toy he was having a lot of fun with. Generally after he had broken the boy he would sell them to individuals or brothels since they were so well trained, taking his money and never coming back. But this was different, he sold the boy but did not give up his claim; others could pay for him but he was the one whose mark was on the boy. He liked his toys..."
Yusuke, Kurama, and Hiei all stood watching with a shocked eyes as after his little speech Kuwabara stood up and threw the photo back at Kowenma, "You have no right to ask this of me. There is no way in hell you can expect me to do this!!" With that the tall teen threw the photo across the desk at the god and strode from the room slamming the door behind him.
Yusuke looked at the still vibrating door and blinked, "Ooooookay, what just happened here, and who the hell was that?!"
Kurama nodded as he spoke softly, "Indeed, I would be most interested to know how he knew those details; they are not the kind of information that is known to humans, no one in the human world even knows what happened to the boys."
Hiei glared at Kowenma, "Care to tell us what is going on, or are you going to leave us at a disadvantage for that idiot?"
The small god shook his head his eyes filled with sadness, "It's not my story to tell, I have not the power to tell you, but I believe that if you leave now you may just discover it on your own."
"I'm going, there's no way that I will let myself be put in jeopardy for that weakling."
The black haired teen stood as well, "I'm in, I can always use more material to torment him with."
With a backward glare at the god who was now ignoring them, the three left; intent on finding out just what the hell was going on.
