The Soul Does Not Forget
Disclaimers: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho, WAHAAA just kidding, but yeah...there are a few characters that will pop out that belong to me.
Chapter Two
"That is not the way to treat a princess," Kurama said and sat down on the floor.
"She was Emiko then?" Izumi asked Genkai and Genkai just nodded. "Why does she still look so young?"
"I'll let her explain that when she returns with the tea she had promised Kuwabara and Yukina first." Genkai said closing her eyes and crossing her arms over her chest.
"Ok, you said you had a lot of siblings, how is that possible?" Yusuke asked and received a blow to the head by Genkai.
"Dimwit," Genkai muttered under her breath.
"HEY! What was that for?" Yusuke said in a big huff and blushed greatly when Ariella had reentered the room. Ariella just smiled and served the tea. She then took her seat next to Genkai while noticing Kurama's glances towards her.
"Are you really Lady Emiko?" Izumi asked quickly. Ariella looked up at the white hair beauty and nodded her head. She was awestruck, "How?"
"If my father has sent you after me then you know a brief history of my encounter with the demon who I fell in love with," Ariella said simply and turned her focus to the floor.
"Yes, he did mention very little about it," Izumi stated simply.
"The demon was feared, and he was ruthless, coldhearted, and many other things could be said about that thief." Ariella let out a small laugh, "He was the thief that stole my heart. I was probably around the same age as I am now back then, when I met him. He could have taken my life but he chose not too, to this day I do not know why."
"So you fell in love with some Fox Demon?" Yusuke turned his gaze over to Kurama and this went unnoticed by Ariella. Kurama held a shocked expression on his face.
"Yes, however I never knew his name. We would continue to meet by chance and then we arranged them. I fell in love, however father being a lord and all, did not approve of the relationship and forbade me to ever meet him again, and I didn't see him due to my father's wishes. It wouldn't have matter either way considering I was aging and he was probably still looking young as ever." Ariella paused, "Some years later, one of my father's advisors said that the demon I was in love with had disappeared after an incident with some kind of hunter. And whatever caused his disappearance I should share his fate, because I was a disgrace for falling in love with a Demon."
"Did you?" Yukina asked.
"I did, but a few years I later would it be decided I would after aging some more, but time frame was just two years. Apparently the demon was born through a human woman, and I had the same fate. I am nineteen years old now, when I should be only a few years younger than my sister, Genkai." Ariella looked up and saw Izumi's shocked face.
"Why are you so surprised Izumi, we were friends when we were younger. I just went by another name then but because I live in the human world I go by Ariella," Ariella said simply with a smile.
"Yes, but Lady Genkai had a choice to not be able to age but..."
"That would mean I would take the throne that man sits on," Genkai stiffed a laugh. "No thank you, I chose to grow old and learn things about the world. Being born naturally also means we age but that man being who he is, well my aging is slower yes but I grew old never the less."
"You see Genkai and I are a different kind of humans, we are only half. Our father is a spirit type demon, or so you can say, but as our human mother grew older she wanted children born from her own body. Genkai is the first of the four to born without being casted in some spell, I was the last of the four." Ariella spoke flatly. "The other sisters and our brothers are all either noble woman who just sit around and give orders and our brothers that work as guardians."
"Lady Emiko, you must return with me," Izumi said simply but then Ariella stood up abruptly. She was angered and had tears from her emotions in her eyes. She turned away from the group and Genkai just looked at her with understanding.
Ariella took in a deep breath, "Izumi I will not go with you."
"Why not?" Izumi stood up as well as the others watched in interest. "You're duty is to the spirit world and over the great area your father looks over!"
"The moment he agreed to send me away, is the moment I no longer considered him my father," Ariella paused. "I am quite content with the parents I have now. Though I am the only child, I will remain here. Besides, I want to search for him."
"Him?" Genkai was the one to ask.
"I want to find the fox demon, I want to at least know what his name was. I don't even know if he's still alive." Ariella said softly and Kurama was receiving stares from his friends. Yukina was slightly lost as was Izumi, as his friends all stared at him.
They all were wondering if Kurama was the one that Ariella was speaking of. Kurama had his hands fisted on his legs as he continued to stare at the floor. Either he was involved or not he somehow appeared to be connected with the story.
"Lady Emiko..."
"Don't call me that!" Ariella turned around, "I no longer have any desire of that name or ties to that name!"
"Calm down, Ariella." Genkai commanded and Ariella backed off. Her spirit energy was soaring through the roof and had surprised the four young men in the room. "Boys I suggest you go home for now. Izumi you may take a room here if you so desire, as well as you Hiei. And we can discuss this all tomorrow."
Kuwabara kissed Yukina's cheek and made his way out. He knew if Genkai ordered for you to do something then more than likely you should comply with it. Yusuke nodded and walked out, Kurama was the last to leave once he saw Ariella come out. She saw him waiting for her and followed him out.
Once they had left Genkai sighed and was bombarded by questions by Izumi. She was asking so fast that Genkai could not catch all of them. She put her hand up and it halted the questioning.
"Now ask one at a time," Genkai said simply.
"Did you know that all your elder siblings have passed on?" Izumi asked grimly.
"No, but now I do. What of my other two younger siblings?" Genkai asked.
"They're alive but the Lord did not want me to retrieve them due to their age. He asked for Lady Emiko for she was still youthful." Izumi responded when Genkai's eyes flew wide open.
"What is the status of his kingdom?" Genkai asked.
"To be honest, falling apart. They want a new young ruler, and that is why he has sent me after Lady Emiko, but I didn't think she was be so youthful," Izumi said softly.
~ That's the reason that old man wanted Ariella, he knows she is youthful due to her sentence. He probably also did this just in case something were to happen. ~ Genkai inwardly snorted at the thought, ~ How dare he use Ariella like that! ~
"Care to share?" Hiei asked.
"No, not really. However you two must be tired let me prepare your rooms," Genkai stated as she stood up and left the room.
"Share what?" Izumi asked with curiosity in her eyes.
"What she was thinking," Hiei replied coolly as he walked passed the girl. "Oh yes, I prefer if you don't hang on me any more."
Izumi rolled her eyes, "Whatever! But then again you're probably gay anyway."
"Excuse me?" Hiei turned and faced the white haired woman with his eyebrow arched.
"You heard me," Izumi said as she walked passed him. Hiei just stared after her, ~ Strange woman. ~

"Hurry up Kurama!" Kuwabara yelled as Ariella and Kurama walked down the stairs in silence. Yusuke stood their waiting leaning against the stonewall; Kurama was their ride back home. He was the only one with a car.
Yusuke moved from his position on the wall and looked the young Ariella over again, he sensed her energy was much like Genkai's before she gave him the spirit wave orb, but her powers though not as strong was still rather high.
"Hey, Ariella," Yusuke said flatly as the young woman looked at him with questioning eyes.
"Yes?"
"Are you really Genkai's sister?" Yusuke asked with a piercing glare.
"Genkai was right, you really are a dimwit," Ariella shrugged as Yusuke almost nearly fell to the ground by that statement. ~ I guess they are related, she even calls me a dimwit! ~
"Ariella," Kurama called to her softly. She turned to look over her shoulder with a soft expression on her face. "Do you need a ride home? It is awfully late..."
"No I'm fine," Ariella smiled warmly. "Thank you for the offer, but I do have my own means of transportation."
"What kind of ride?" Kuwabara asked with curiosity in his voice.
"Oh you'll see," Ariella said as they made it to the base of the stairs. Where Kurama's red Honda sat and a racing type motorcycle situated behind his car. All three young men's jaws almost nearly fell to the ground in shock.
"That's a nice...uh ride," Yusuke managed to spit out.
"Thanks, my dad bought it for me. He always said he wanted a son so he could race motorcycles with him, but I guess he had to settle for a daughter racer," Ariella laughed lightly thinking of her father in the human world.
"Hey, if you can race with the guys, I don't see what's wrong with it," Kuwabara stated with a confident smirk and crossed his arms over his chest.
"Actually, I won a few races that were all guys," Ariella winked at Kuwabara as he just looked at her in shock. Ariella just laughed as she mounted onto her motorbike.
"So I guess we'll see you around then, huh?" Yusuke asked with an arched eyebrow.
"Well, how about this Yusuke, I'm stopping by tomorrow after my classes, how about you and I have a go around, eh?" Ariella asked as she placed her helmet on her leg.
"Well, I have a thing about fighting girls..."
"So you're a chicken?" Ariella asked as she placed her helmet over her head. Her visor still up as she stared down her older sister's successor.
"Ok, lady you're on...but don't be let down if I don't go easy on yea," Yusuke shrugged.
"Wouldn't dream of it, so I'll see you guys tomorrow," Ariella was about to place her visor down when Kurama approached. He held out a red rose to the girl who just smiled. She took the rose and smelled the delicate flower.
"Have a safe journey home," Kurama offered.
Ariella smiled and started her bike, and quickly sped off into the night. However Yusuke was staring at the red head with quite teasing eyes. "So are you the mystery guy she's looking for?"
"What?" Kurama coming out of a daze where it was not only Yusuke looking him but Kuwabara as well.
"Do you have the hots for Genkai's sister?" Kuwabara asked as he slung his arm around Kurama's shoulders. "Or maybe it's because you were that fox man she's lookin' for?"
"Yea, her story kind of goes along yours," Yusuke stated simply with a side shrug. "So, is it true?"
"I...I..."
