"I have the solution to our problem." Koenma the toddler prince of heaven
and hell said.
"She is a reincarnated water apparition, has incredible powers once
remembered, and is the only one who can do the sister move of the dragon of
darkness flame and dragon wave." He said shooting a sorrowful glance at
Hiei.
The little fire apparition just stared blankly at a spot on the floor.
"Her name is Rieoko. Here is the most recent picture of her." Koenma said
as a picture of a dark haired girl on a dapple gray mare appeared on the
screen. "Take a good look she's the one you'll be taking to the dark
tournament with you." He concluded his pacifier bobbing up and down as he
spoke.
Kuwabara's eyes widened as he said "Damn that's not the only place I'd like
to take her!" In a flash Hiei behind Kuwabara his katana right at his
neck. Kuwabara stood still a look of pure terror crossing his face. "Ok
Hiei you can stop trying to kill Kuwabara now. You know his perverted
ways, what's the difference now?" Yusuke Urameshi asked. Hiei just stared
at him, seethed his katana and stalked back to his shadowy corner.
"I know why Hiei is touchy about that subject." The little prince said.
"Do you mind if I tell them?" He asked Hiei. He glared back at him and
said, "Go ahead they're going to find out eventually anyway."
"It was about 16 years ago. Hiei and Reioko were in a heated battle with
some nasty demons. Hiei was about to get a fatal blow to the head and
Reioko jumped in front of him getting herself hit. Normally Hiei would
have thought of it as just another dead partner but they were how could I
put this more than just friends? Does that sound right?" Koenma said.
Hiei looked the other way. "Well anyway, instead of letting her die we put
her soul into another body. So she forgot about everything and grew up
like a normal human. And we were just going to leave her alone but now we
can't. We need her to win the Dark Tournament in only 3 months. Sometime
soon we all need to speak to her about this." He concluded.
"But she won't be any use because she forgot everything, right?" Yusuke
asked.
"No, after being told and training some she should remember everything
fine." Koenma answered. "Well that's everything! Meet back here
tomorrow, same time to discuss when we break the news." He said dismissing
everyone.
"Hiei I need you to do something for me." Koenma said. "Can you keep and
eye or three on her to see when the best time is?" he asked. A slight
smile crossed Hiei's face and exposed a fang but was gone as quick as it
came. "Easy enough." Was all he said.
"Hiei you know that no matter what she remembers she might not have the
same feelings for you." Koenma said as a word of caution.
" I am aware of that." The little fire demon replied coldly.
*~*~*
Perched in the tree above Reioko's window Hiei watched her sleep
peacefully. Her ebony hair lay out across her back as she slept sprawled
across her bed. Thinking deeply Hiei could still remember that day-the
worst one of his life-when it all happened. Using his Jagan eye to erase
her memory. And then watching Koenma put her precious soul into that
pregnant women's body. He grimaced at the thought. Before that day 16
years ago, Hiei had been very cheerful for a demon, not minding to show his
emotions openly. But after all that he went through it was just easier to
put up a barrier than to face the grief. He had been advancing toward
Reioko's window and was now climbing inside. 'Shouldn't get this close.'
Hiei thought creeping toward her bed. It was almost sunrise and she'd be
getting up soon to go to the barn. He knew this from visits every now and
then just to check up on her. 'That's certainly one thing she didn't
forget,' the little one thought. 'Her love for horses.' I don't care what
Koenma says she will remember me.' He thought viciously. He was now right
over her bed looking down on her. '16 years since I was this close too
long.' Hiei thought. 'She looks the same but I wonder about personali-'
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU??!!"
*~*~*
"What the hell just happened?" Reioko Karuzama thought out loud. He was
there and now he wasn't. He looked familiar, like she had seen him before.
But still how did he get in? She went through a mental checklist of all
the locks in the house. 'I locked everyone of them. How did he get in
then?' she thought. Well no need to worry anybody about this. Probably
nothing. Her parents were away on lawyer business in France. Every time
his image popped into her head she got a nice fuzzy feeling. A short cute
guy with black hair, a head band over his forehead and deep blood red eyes.
'Time to get up anyway.' She thought grimly wishing she got more sleep. *~*~* Oh shit. Oh shit. Not good. "STUPID SON OF A FUCK NUT!!" Hiei screamed at the top of his lungs after returning to Koenma's office. "Well good morning to you too Hiei. Something wrong you seem a bit angry?" Koenma asked walking into the room. Hiei ignored the question and glared fiercely at him. "Her parents are away for the next three weeks on business in France. Tomorrow night, Yuske goes for a "visit" to ask her something about school and really tells her about it. Then we all drop in." Hiei said his hands in his pockets. Koenma looked pleased.
"Good! Now I don't have to do a thing! You have everything planned out. I couldn't have done better myself!" he said with a large smile on his face.
"Now you can tell everyone else that later tonight." He said pacifier bobbing up and down as he spoke. "And you can keep watch until tomorrow." Koenma said. "But this time don't get caught." *~*~* "Yusuke I need to borrow some money." The fire demon told his friend. "For what Hiei since when do you need money? I thought borrowing wasn't your style." Yusuke replied. "It isn't. Just don't ask questions." The smaller said darkly. "Ok, Ok don't blow a fuse! How much do you need?" *~*~* Three, two, one- take off, flight, touch down, recovery. "Great job Reioko! You cleared the whole round!" Reioko's instructor Diana said in her thick British accent. "Good job Firefly! You were awesome!" Reioko said patting her mare. She had just cleared around of three and a half foot fences. "Ok give her a good cool down and a sponge bath, it's hot out here!" Diana said. "Ok thanks for the lesson!" Reioko said as she rode Firefly up to the edge of the ring to meet her friend Kikio. "Isn't that the creep you were telling me about on Starman?" Kiko asked pointing to a small black haired guy on the big bay Morgan. Reioko felt a sudden sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach. "Ye-Yes I think that is. So I'll just stick to my side of the ring and he can stick to his. Besides I'm almost done just have to cool her off." Reioko said. Kikio gave her a look of death and said, "Alright but be careful he might be a stalker. And if he tries to do anything to you give a good scream and I'll come out here and kick the shit out of him!" Kikio said seriously. "Ok will do." Reioko said. 'Why would anyone want to stalk me what am I worth?' *~*~* 'Ha! I still remember how to do this! Pretty damn well too!' Hiei thought. 'All those she forced me to ride with her is paying off!' He was now starting the same jump course that Reioko had just finished. 'Well tomorrow night she'll know why I've been "stalking" her.' Hiei thought recalling her conversation with that girl. *~*~* "He's pretty good I wonder where he learned it. Maybe I should talk to him and find out.." Reioko said to Firefly as she put her in her stall. The mare gave a nicker soft in reply. Hiei was bringing Starman in when Reioko walked up to him. His heart went in to his throat. "Ummm. Hi! I was just wondering where you - hey wait! Come back!!" *~*~* 'SHIT! I could have at least put the frickin horse away!' Hiei thought fiercely. He was at the meeting for the next night. He was still furious about what had happened that after noon. "Ok everybody! Hiei has everything planned out. I didn't have to lift a finger!" Koenma said happily. Hiei started "Tomorrow night at eight o'clock or what ever, Yusuke will stop by her house to ask her a question about school or something and start to explain things. We'll be waiting on the roof and when the time's right drop in and hope to god she doesn't pass out." He said trying desperately to be funny. "Nice try on the humor. Sounds good to me!" Yusuke said. Almost everyone agreed. "Why can't I go in first? I go to that school too!" Kuwabara said. "yeah she knows you as a perverted son of a bi-" "Does not! Reioko has had the hotts for me all year and you know it!" Kuwabara said haughtily. "Yeah right the hotts being defined as getting red in the face and mad when ever you talk to her." "mother fuc-" "ENOUGH!!!" Kurama suddenly yelled. Every head in the room turned his way with a surprised look. "sorry you guys were giving me a headache." The fox demon said sheepishly. There was an awkward silence that filled the room.
"well then it's all settled!" Konema broke the silence. "tomorrow at 7:45 meet on the roof." Shooting an evil eye at Hiei said "don't get caught or we'll all be in deep shit." *~*~* At exactly 7:45 Hiei leaped on to Reioko's roof top. Keonma, Botan, and Kurama were already there. "Hello Hiei, nervous?" Botan asked cheerfully. He didn't reply just glared at her. Kuwabara and Yusuke arrived shortly after together. Yusuke rubbed his hands together and said "Well lets get this party stared!!" "Urameshi! Shut up! You're going to get arrested for desterbance of the peace." Carrot top hissed. "Fine party pooper I wasn't being that loud." Glaring at eachother that was the end of the fight. "make sure you leave a window open so we can hear when to come in." Koenma said to Yusuke. "Ok see ya' in a few!" Yusuke said hopping down.
'Time to get up anyway.' She thought grimly wishing she got more sleep. *~*~* Oh shit. Oh shit. Not good. "STUPID SON OF A FUCK NUT!!" Hiei screamed at the top of his lungs after returning to Koenma's office. "Well good morning to you too Hiei. Something wrong you seem a bit angry?" Koenma asked walking into the room.
