She awoke with a scream, sweat running down her face as she looked around panting, her eyes wide with fear and panic.

She was in her room, daylight shining through her window.

It only took her a moment before she remembered everything that transpired last night, throwing the covers off of her; she swung her legs over her bed and hurried into the bathroom. Slamming the door open, she ripped her shirt off and looked herself over in the mirror.

Her body was in one piece, no wounds or bruises were on her body. She twists herself to look at her back, trying to find any injuries, but as she thought about it, she wouldn't have been able to run to the bathroom if she were cut in half.

Sighing in relief, she stripped her clothes from her body, figuring a shower would calm her nerves and chase the remnants of her dream away.

But to a trained eye, anyone could see a faint scar across her hips, along with a grey outline of a dragon on her back.

"What do you mean your dragon brought her back to life?!" The young prince screamed through the communicator.

"Just as I said, my dragon brought her back to life, as for the why, I have no idea why." Hiei was growing irritated at the prince, asking the same question wasn't going to get them anywhere nor was explaining why his dragon had saved the girl.

Hiei wasn't alone when he began explaining the events of last night, the detective, the fox, and the oaf were there as well. He had gathered them at the fox's apartment after dropping the girl off at her home, each as surprised of what his dragon had done.

"According to what Hiei pulled from her as he wiped her mind, she isn't a demon of any kind nor does it sound like she has any spirit energy. At this point it would be wise to monitor her and see if she shows any signs of…well anything." Kurama explained, drawing the attention of the spirit prince to himself.

Koenma nodded, getting lost in thought of the whole situation.

"For now, that seems like the best course of action, we'll watch her and look for any changes. Hiei what was her name again?"

He thought for a moment before answering.

"Yuna Naikiri." Koenma paged Botan, asking her to run a check on the name.

"Now, as we wait for the info, we need to have follow up plans for if she does or doesn't show any after effects of Hiei's dragon."

Everyone sat in silence, thinking of different ideas of would happen next.

"I say if she doesn't, just let her go on with her life, no sense of messing her life up if nothing's there." Kuwabara was the first to speak up, feeling a bit bad for the girl.

"I must agree with Kuwabara, makes no sense in making her life more difficult by having her worry over nothing." Yusuke agreed, giving his friend a thumbs up.

"But if she does show signs of affected?" The question left everyone quiet.

Before anyone could speak up, a knock came from the door. Kurama got up and went to answer the door, after an exchange of greetings, Keiko walked in followed by Kurama.

"Keiko what are you doing here?" Yusuke asked, puzzled he tried to recall if they had any dates planned and if they did, he was preparing for her infamous slaps.

"Well, I wanted to-"

"I have the info you requested sir!" Botan's bubbly voice rang through the communicator, gaining everyone's attention.

"Well out with it!"

"Yuna Naikiri is a 25 year old woman, she works as a chef at-"

"Naikiri Eatery!" Keiko cut in, all but screaming as her excitement became obvious as she bounced on her feet.

"How do you know that Keiko?" Yusuke asked, tilting his head to the side as he continued to watch bounce in place.

Keiko flushed heavily, ducking her head as she looked around the room nervously.

"Well, I met up with some friends from Middle School and one of them recommended we eat there. She, Yuna I mean, is an amazing chef and the food she makes is beyond words. It's why I came by today, I wanted to take you guys there, I stopped by Yusuke's apartment and his mom said he would be here." Keiko begun fiddling with her hair half way through her explanation, her blush deepening at the talk of Yuna's food.

Everyone was quiet for a bit before Kurama spoke up.

"Well, I think we found a way to watch her."

The group arrived at the eatery, joined by Botan and Yukina; the two arrived via Botan's oar after they agreed to visit the diner. As they entered the establishment, a young hostess greeted them warmly, making it feel homely.

"How many are in your party?"

"There are seven of us."

"Alright, the only seating I have open is the bar area."

"That'll be fine."

As the girl led them to their seats, Kuwabara leaned over to Kurama and whispered softly.

"Works for us since we can keep an eye on her, see if she's been affected by the shrimps' dragon or not."

Kurama merely nodded as they took their seats, looking over he noticed there were two chefs, male and female. The male chef wore a black shirt that had the name of the restaurant on the back; an apron was tied around his waist over a pair of beige pants. Kurama couldn't see his face, but from what he could tell, the man had short black hair that poked out from underneath his bandana.

He turned his attention to the other chef, noticing she wore a standard chef uniform, a plain white uniform with no writing. Just like the other chef, she wore a bandana; her short strawberry blonde hair reached the top of her shoulders.

"Yuna!" Keiko called out to the girl, a big grin on her face.

The chef paused what she was doing and turned to Keiko.

"Oh Keiko! You're back early." Yuna set her knife down, turning fully to face them.

Kurama took note of her features, looking her over from her legs up to her head. He noticed that she was short but the one thing that stood out to him the most was her eyes. They were a startling amethyst color. She grinned as she made her way over to them.

"You remembered my name!" Keiko stared at her, eyes wide as she wasn't expecting her to remember.

"Of course! I always a customer's first time eating here! Yours left quite the impression."

Keiko flushed heavily, the red reaching all the way to her ears.

"Well, I'll let you all decide on what you want but I have a special dish for you Keiko." With a small wink to the flushed girl, she returned to her cooking while the others turned to Keiko.

"What does she mean by 'You left an impression on her'?" Yusuke asked, trying to figure it out in his head.

Keiko bowed her head, she opened her mouth to explain when she was cut off by a loud moan.

Everyone turned to see a girl at one of the tables moaning, her utensil still in her mouth as she quivered in her seat, her face flushed as a sigh of content left her mouth.

"It's so good!" She moaned again as she took another bite.

"Good doesn't even begin to describe this flavor!"

"This is heaven! I have died and gone to heaven!"

Soon the group noticed that every patron in the restaurant was either blushing heavily or quivering in their seats, moaning at the flavor of their dishes. The team turned to look over at Keiko, who didn't say anything or even acknowledge what the other patrons were doing; she just merely stared at her lap.

"Like I said…the food is indescribable." Was all Keiko had to say.
