Chapter Two
//"Adia."
"Leiya you're here!" A younger Adia clamored from the floor, hugging her cousin's leg. "It's been so boring without you."
Leiya smiled. "Well boring no more. I've been working extra hard in the garden this week, would you like to go?" She took the child's hand. "Uncle's in one of his better moods, so I already received his permission before I came." She smiled at Adia's bright eyes.
"So what kind of flowers will be in this year Lei?" Adia asked as they walked down the hall toward the north end of the compound, where Leiya's home and garden were.
"Oh you'll love them. There are so many, and the colors, I mean we really hit the color scheme this time."
"Really? Did my seeds grow too?"
Leiya nodded. "They did."
"Leiya!" Geno's voice echoed down the hall.
Leiya bowed "Uncle."
"Where are you taking her?"
"To the northern garden, I asked you earlier remember?"
"Right, right." He grumbled. "Make sure to have her back in an hour, we need to do some work."
"Of course Uncle."//
The sun was setting when Adia woke. "The colors." She sat up rubbing at her eyes. "Leiya."
Leon was outside her door when he heard her voice. He stopped himself from knocking.
She walked to the window. "It's been a long time, Lei, that I could see anyone's face so clearly as I can with yours. I wish you could have taken me with you." She turned toward the door. "Leon?"
Sighing he put on a face and walked in. "Well that was quite a workout you performed earlier. How are you feeling?"
She lowered her head. Leiya was Leon's older sister. He loved her more than anything or anyone. Since her death two hundred and sixty years ago he has taken over the responsibility of watching Adia. "Yes a workout." She walked to the table. "I'm fine."
He sat down with her. "Forgive me for prying but I heard you say Leiya earlier. Did she come to you in a dream?"
"Yes. It was during a time I had forgotten. She was taking me to her home's garden."
"Oh yes, I remember. She always had beautiful gardens every spring."
Adia cleared her throat. For a while neither spoke. "Leon."
"Yes."
She hesitated then shook her head. "Nothing, I just thought I'd tell you that it's going to rain tonight."
He nodded. Small talk. "I'll let Geno know. He wanted to do some training but it gets dangerous around here when it rains. I'll let Yuudai and Tamotsu know also. They like it when it rains, they get the night off."
Adia smiled. Yuudai and Tamotsu used to be friends when the four of them were younger and when Leiya would watch them. "How are Yuu and Tamo?"
"They've been running errands. So, like I said, they'll appreciate hearing about the rain."
She nodded.
"Well I better go." He turned at the door. "Good night Adia."
"Good night Leon." She bowed until he had closed the door behind him.
Yusuke stared up at the sky. //"If what the rumors say is true, this girl could anialate most of demon world. The rippled effects would be catastrophic for Humans as well as for us in Spirit World."// He sat up. "He was really serious, more serious than he's been in awhile." He looked across the river. /She's just like any other opponent. Like Toguro, or even Sensui. Possibly like Yomi./ He stood and began walking to back to town, toward the arcades. /Well if she makes any moves I'll just bust out the good old spirit gun./ But still there was something about her that bothered him.
Kurama walked up next to Kuwabara. "Just like I told Koenma, Yusuke's thinking hard about this new case."
Kuwabara nodded. "Yea. Now he's headed to the acrades."
"Have you noticed any changes recently?"
"It's only been a couple of days but I haven't felt a thing."
"Same here. I'm going back to Spirit World later to talk with Koenma some more."
"Yea well have fun. I think I'll go follow Urameshi or something."
"Lord Koenma."
"Ah Ayame, what can I do for you?"
"I found these in the archives. It's about Geno."
"I see. What does it say?"
"Not much I'm afraid. There is nothing on Geno until three centuries ago. He just sort of emerged as this very powerful demon leader. He's wanted for illegal dealings with the black market in both the Makai and the Ningenkai. Unfortunately his influence is far reaching, making it difficult to pin-point his exact location." She handed him the thin file. "Sir if I may?"
"Go on."
"If this girl is really Geno Danzai's only daughter, wouldn't having her here give us the advantage over him, sir? He is a dangerous and wanted demon."
"Yes in fact it would. However Ayame we have yet to be sure that this girl is indeed Danzai's daughter, or if she even exists."
"Of course. I will keep an eye out then." She bowed and disappeared.
Koenma gazed at the file on his desk. With so little information any movement would prove unwise.
