Author: Hey everyone. Sorry it took me so long to update. Summer break found me at my mother's house… which is okay because I hadn't been with my family all semester! But that also meant that I could not update.
Hilu: Well that is because the family has dial up, and you have to share.
Author: It's not that big of a deal, and I did some writing, and now updating. But I have my first foreign language class this semester, so please be patient with me as updates may only come about once a week, and only one story at a time. Enjoy the chapter!
"Hiei's telepathy"
"Other telepathic conversation"
Youko's thoughts

Chapter 3
---------Shuichi's POV---------
"Her name is Kurein. And she is Kuronue's baby sister." I said quietly.
"Kuronue's baby sister?" Yusuke questioned. "As in your ex-partner Kuronue?"
"Yes… and the last thing I said to Kuronue was that I would protect her, even if it meant my life…," I replied.
"So Kuronue's sister… is that why you have been so quiet since we found her? You and the fox? You see unlike the ningens, I realize there are two of you… you are both very different, therefore you did not make the promise Youko did. Am I right?"
"Yes Hiei, you are right. See what not even Koenma realizes is that there are indeed two different souls trapped in this body, and… well… only one belongs."
"I want her to stay with me. She will stay with me, but not join the Reikai Tantei," I said to Koenma.
"Are you crazy? She has to join… she is so powerful. She would be a good addition to the team," Yusuke said.
"She will not join. I will not allow it, and that is all there is to it," I said.
"I would rather her fight with you all than against you all, so I think she should join the Tantei," Koenma said thoughtfully.
"She will not fight against us in any case, and she will only get hurt if she is fighting with us. I will not allow it!" I said firmly.
"Hn," Hiei said turning away from everyone and looking at the door. Quickly I turned around as well, and to my surprise there was Kurein. She glared at me and inwardly I flinched.
"I will do what I want regardless of what anyone else wants. No one will order me about. I think I would like to join the Tantei, if that is okay with the rest of you," Kurein said deliberately not looking at me.
"Like I said I think it is a great idea, you are strong enough to help us out when we need it," Yusuke said beaming at Kurein.
"I don't know… you are a girl," Kuwabara said reluctantly.
"I could kick your ass in a heartbeat, and I think you know it," Kurein replied, effectively making his vote insubstantial.
"Hn, I think it would be interesting to see what you can do, but you will have to be trained. I will not work with an amateur," Hiei said as he walked out of the room.
Inwardly I was shocked. Hiei had turned against me… I couldn't understand it. He knew just as well as I did that our enemies would see her as a target. She would never be safe. I couldn't help but wonder what that little fire demon was up to.
"It is settled then. Kurein welcome to the Reikai Tantei," Koenma said pulling me out of my thoughts.
This is insane Shuichi DO something!
"What in the name of Enma do you want me to do?"
SOMETHING!
"This is your mess you fix it."
FINE I WILL!
Then I felt the control of my body being pulled away from me.
---------Youko's POV---------
"She will not join the Reikai Tantei," I said smoothly.
"Yes she will, because I have decided," Koenma replied.
"No she will not!" I said firmly. "I will not allow it."
"She is old enough to make her own decisions, and she has decided, therefore your opinion has no sway in the final decision," Koenma retorted.
"Youko Kurama, I will not allow you to run my life. I am plenty old enough to make this kind of decision by myself, and you seem to be the only one who has a protest against me joining. I will not be led around like I am five years old!" Kurein said and stalked out of the room.
"Now look at what you did. You made her mad and now you will have to go apologize."
I will do no such thing I did nothing wrong.
"You and I both know that if you, me and Hiei train her she will be fine…"
What is with the pause little one, nervous that you will not be right?
"No, I am not… I truly believe that after training her she will be fine, now let me back out."
No.
"YOUKO! NOW!"
My poor little human, do you want to go talk to the pretty little bat demon?
"Shut up Youko. I do want to speak with her but only to tell her that I plan on training her myself since you are too damn stubborn to do it yourself, she will have to rely on me and Hiei."
If you want control so badly little human take it from me.
"If you don't want a splitting headache then I suggest you just give me the control that I am asking for before I do take it."
Poor little Shuichi, you couldn't take the control from me if your life depended on it.
Then I felt Shuichi fighting for control. I just tightened my grip on the control I had, but suddenly I felt it being wrenched away from me. I clung tighter, I would not lose control of this body to my little human counterpart. But the harder I clung the harder it was getting for me to stay in control. My head was pounding, but I was not going to willingly give up my control of the body. Then everything went black.

Author: Yeah I have another chapter!
Hilu: It's about time!
Author: I know… but for some reason it is harder for me to write in the summer… I am away from school, and only have access to dialup… which really bites. Oh and updates will come even farther apart because I will be starting my job soon. So sorry everyone. Well gotta run. Please review, constructive criticism is great!
Hilu: She has been annoying about needing reviews and not getting any for this story… so please humor her.
Author: Ja ne!
